PREFACE  TO  THE  AMERICAN  EDITION. 


In  presenting  this  important  work  to  the  American  public,  the  present  pub- 
lishers would  call  attention  to  some  of  its  peculiar  features. 

At  first  view,  it  might  not  seem  to  differ  greatly  from  certain  other  works 
designed  to  aid  in  the  study  of  the  Bible.  On  comparing  it  with  such, 
however,  it  will  be  found  to  possess  an  essentially  original  and  distinctive 
character.  It  differs  especially,  in  some  important  particulars,  from  two 
classes  of  works  to  which  it  bears  a  general  resemblance, — the  common  Con- 
cordance and  the  Scripture  Manual  or  Topical  Text-book. 

The  design  of  the  common  Concordg^nce*^  is  to  assist  the  student  in  find- 
ing some  passage  of  Scripture  by  means  of  a  leading  word ;  and  that  is  its 
whole  design. 

The  design  of  this  work,  on  the  other  hand,  is  to  present,  not  a  concordance 
of  words,  but  a  concordance  of  subjects.  All  those  passages  of  Scripture 
which  relate  to  one  subject  are  brought  together  under  one  general  head,  and 
then  distributed  under  many  subordinate  heads. 

It  is  apparent  from  this  statement,  that  while  the  Analytical  Concordance 
essentially  differs  from,  it  in  -nowise  supersedes,  the  common  Concordance  ; 
each  ministers  to  a  distinct  and  independent  purpose,  but  both  are  equally 
necessary  to  the  Biblical  student. 

Again :  this  Concordance  differs  from  the  common  Manual  or  Topical 
Text-book ;  and  it  differs  in  two  important  respects.  First,  the  latter  class 
of  works  are  confined  to  theological  or  doctrinal  topics ;  the  Analytical  Con- 
cordance, on  the  contrary,  embraces  all  the  topics  which  ai'e  naturally  sug- 
gested by  the  entire  contents  of  the  Bible.  Second,  the  Topical  Text-book 
contains  only  a  part  of  the  Bible ;  this  contains  the  whole. 

Thus,  in  all  respects,  the  Analytical  Concordance  is  more  comprehensive 
and  complete  than  the  class  of  works  with  which  it  is  here  compared. 

It  is,  in  short,  nothing  less  than  the  whole  Bible  distributed  under  appro- 
priate heads. 

VII 


The  purchaser,  therefore,  gets  not  only  a  Concordance  but  also  a  Bible  in 
this  volume.  The  superior  convenience  arising  out  of  this  fact  —  saving,  as 
it  does,  the  necessity  of  having  two  books  at  hand  and  of  making  two  refer- 
ence.-!,  instead  of  one  —  will  be  readily  apparent. 

Another  feature  of  the  work  that  deserves  special  notice  is  the  Synopsis. 
This  presents  to  view,  in  a  brief  compass  and  in  the  author's  own  words, 
what  in  the  Concordance  is  spread  over  many  pages  and  is  expressed  in  the 
language  of  Scripture.  It  will  be  found  of  no  small  value  in  giving  unity 
and  clearness  to  the  conceptions  of  the  student. 

In  addition  to  the  Synopsis,  there  is  also  an  Index  embracing  nearly  two 
thousand  leading  words  arranged  in  alphabetical  order. 

That  such  a  w^ork  as  this  is  of  exceeding  great  convenience  is  matter  of 
obvious  remark.  But  it  is  much  more  than  that ;  it  is  also  an  instructive 
work.  It  is  adapted  not  only  to  assist  the  student  in  prosecuting  the  investi- 
gation of  preconceived  ideas,  but  also  to  impart  ideas  which  the  most  careful 
reading  of  the  Bible  in  its  ordinary  arrangement  might  not  suggest.  Let  him 
take  up  any  one  of  the  subjects — Agriculture,  for  example  —  and  see  if 
such  be  not  the  case.  This  feature  places  the  work  in  a  higher  grade  than 
that  of  the  common  Concordance.  It  shows  it  to  be,  so  to  speak,  a  work  of 
more  mind. 

There  is  but  one  other  work  in  our  language  prepared  on  the  same  general 
plan  as  this,  and  of  that  the  author  has  sufficiently  spoken  in  his  preface.  It 
need  only  be  remarked,  that  while  from  what  is  there  said  this  work  appears 
to  be  every  way  superior  to  that,  it  is  offered  to  the  public  at  much  less  cost. 


All  classes  and  conditions  of  people  will  find  this  Concordance  specially 
adapted  to  their  necessities.     It  is  equally  adapted  to  assist  — 

Clergymen  and  Theological  Students ; 

Sabbath  school  Superintendents,  Teachers,  and  Bible  Classes ; 

Authors  engaged  in  the  composition  of  rehgious,  and  even  secular  works ; 
and,  in  fine. 

Common  readers  of  the  Bible,  who  have  no  other  end  in  view  than  their 
own  personal  improvement.

AUTHOR'S   PREFACE. 


Tins  is  the  tliird  of  a  Series  of  Biblical  Wor^s  designed  for  popular  study, 
specially  for  the  use  of  Sabbath  School  Teachers,  and  generally  for  domestic  reading 
and  instruction.  Occupying,  as  I  do,  a  double  position  in  the  Church,  —  that  of  a 
Pastor,  and  that  of  a  Teacher  of  Theology,  —  I  have  humbly  endeavored  to  suit  my 
literary  labors  to  this  twofold  function.  As  a  Professor  in  a  Theological  Seminary, 
I  have  given  to  the  world  some  treatises  of  an  Academic  character;  but,  as  a 
Minister,  I  have  greatly  rejoiced  in  the  opportunity  of  publishing  other  Works  of 
less  pretension,  but  of  far  wider  circulation,  adapted  in  some  measure  to  our 
homes  and  schools.^ 

This  Volume  at  once  explains  its  own  nature.  It  is  an  attempt  so  to  classify 
Scripture  under  separate  heads  as  to  exhaust  its  Contents.  The  reader  will  find 
under  the  respective  Articles  or  Sections  what  the  Bible  says  on  the  separate 
subjects  in  relation  to  Doctrine,  Ethics,  and  Antiquities. 

Xow,  the  constraction  of  such  a  work  is  somewhat  difficult.  There  are  verses 
which  possess  no  distinctive  character,  and  it  is  hard  to  select  a  place  for  them,  for 
one  Compiler  might  put  them  in  one  Section,  and  his  successor  might  change  them 
to  another.  Many  verses  contain  two  antagonistic  statements,  truth  and  error  in 
contrast,  or  truth  delivered  in  a  negative  and  positive  form;  and,  therefore,  no 
matter  where  such  a  verse  is  quoted,  one  half  of  it  does  not  and  cannot  belong  to 
the  Chapter  under  wliich  it  is  found.  To  divide  such  verses  is  often  impossible,  for 
there  would  be  left  an  imperfect  statement,  the  necessary  verb  or  full  syntax  being 
in  the  other  portion.     Then  interpretation  is  so  far  involved,  that  it  depends  upon

the  sense  assigned  to  a  verse  whether  it  shall  be  ranged  or  not  among  the  proofs  of 
a  doctrine  or  theological  tenet,  and  there  is  often  room  for  difference  of  opinion. 
Besides,  in  spite  of  every  attention,  one  will  find  that  some  important  verse  may- 
have  been  omitted  or  misplaced.  Another  difficulty  is  to  determine  how  many 
Heads  shall  be  employed,  so  as  to  classify  and  place  under  them  the  entire  Scrip- 
ture. Such  works  as  those  of  Gaston,  Warden,  and  Clarke,  only  take  up  special 
subjects,  and  therefore  do  not  necessitate  such  a  calculation.  But  if  you  mean  to 
comprehend  the  Bible,  you  must  contrive  that  under  a  definite  number  of  Headings 
its  various  verses  shall  be  apportioned.  If  these  be  too  few,  then  there  must  be 
straining  and  manoeuvre ;  if  too  many,  the  reader's  attention  is  distracted,  and  one 
great  purpose  of  the  Book  is  lost.  Thus  Talbot  (and  West  after  him)  has  a  Cliap- 
ter  called  "  Metaphysics,"  a  name  unbiblical  both  in  spirit  and  form,  and  under 
it  he  classes  subjects  so  different  as  Angels  and  Devils,  Heaven  and  Hell.  Talbot 
has  another  Chapter,  named  "  Conflicts,"  a  very  vague  title,  comprising  some 
paragraphs  for  which  an  appropriate  place  could  not  elsewhere  be  very  readily 
found,  and  West,  of  course,  simply  reprints  it.  Indeed,  in  all  Works  of  this  nature, 
there  must  be  not  a  little  that  is  matter  of  taste,  rather  than  of  precision  in  the 
arrangement 

Our  Work  is  based  on  that  of  Talbot,^  and  we  honestly  award  him  the  credit  of 
the  original  production.  But  it  is  not  a  New  Edition  of  Talbot,  such  as  that  which 
West  has  recently  given  in  his  own  name.  What  we  mean  is,  that  Talbot's  Collec- 
tion suggested  the  idea,  and  has  guided  us  both  in  Sections  and  Verses ;  so  that  if  he 
has  selected  the  right  verses  in  any  place,  we  take  them.  Indeed,  from  the  nature 
of  the  Work,  this  imitation  or  similarity  cannot  be  avoided.  If  the  original  Compiler 
gives  every  verse  on  a  subject,  a  subsequent  Editor,  if  he  do  not  take  the  same 
verses,  will  be  either  defective  or  erroneous  in  his  citations.  Still,  in  almost  e\cry 
Section,  we  have  been  obliged  to  add,  or  subtract,  or  change.  Talbot  has  thirty 
general  Headings,  we  have  forty-two.  Yet  we  do  not  claim  the  merit  of  a  wholly 
new  production ;    for,  certainly,  had  we  not  been  preceded  by  Talbot,  we  sliould 

1  An  Analysis  of  the  Holy  Bible,  containing  the  whole  of  the  Old  and  New  Testaments,  collected 
and  arranged  systematically,  in  Thirty  Books,  by  Matthew  Talbot,  4to.,  Leedtr,  1800.  Triuted  by

AUTHOR  S    PREFACE. 


never  have  entered  upon  the  Work  at  all.  We  say  Talbot,  and  not  West ;  for 
West  is  but  a  reprint  of  Talbot,  with  an  imperfect  Index,  and  a  few  slight  variations, 
by  no  means  so  numerous  as  those  found  in  many  a  Second  Edition  of  a  Book. 

Dr.  West  says  that  his  Work  is  based  on  that  of  "  the  learned  Talbot."  The  lan- 
guage is  fitted  to  mislead,  for  his  Octavo  is  simply  Talbot's  Quarto,  with  a  somewliat 
different  arrangement  of  "  Books."  The  epithet  of  "  the  learned  Talbot "  seems  to 
suggest  that  Talbot  belonged  to  one  of  the  Professions,  as  they  are  called.  Now, 
Matthew  Talbot  was  a  worthy  layman  of  Leeds,  a  currier  by  trade,  a  good  man,  of 
high  independence,  and  of  patient  and  indomitable  energy.  His  "  Analysis  "  was 
the  result  of  the  quiet  and  persistent  study  of  many  years,  and  certainly  verifies  one 
of  his  own  quaint  and  common  sayings :  "  I  can  honor  any  Draft  drawn  on  the  Bank 
of  Patience."  Mr.  Talbot's  daughter  was  married  to  Baines,  the  eminent  printer. 
The  old  man's  generosity  and  patriotism,  his  learning  and  talents,  his  hearty  love  of 
the  truth,  and  adherence  to  it  at  all  hazards,  yet  survive  among  his  grandchildren,  and 
one  of  them,  the  Eight  Honorable  Matthew  Talbot  Baines,  raised  by  personal  merit  to 
his  high  position,  is,  at  this  moment,  a  Member  of  her  Majesty's  Cabinet.  It  is,  there- 
fore, with  regret,  that  we  find  his  Book,  with  but  a  very  slight  disguise,  published  in 
America  as  West's,  and  it  is  with  indignation  that  we  see  it  openly  plagiarized  and 
reprinted  without  even  his  name  at  all,  and  that  so  recently  as  in  London,  1848. 
This  last  and  unblushing  appropriator  of  Talbot  has  adopted  the  meaningless  title 
of  the  "  Analogy  of  the  Old  and  New  Testaments  Systematically  Classified."  ^  What 
is  worse,  he  is  so  audacious  as  to  say  in  his  Preface :  "  This  Work  has  been  for 
many  years  a  labor  of  love  to  the  Author."  Surely,  if  such  a  plagiarism  of  a 
common  Author  is  usually  branded  as  dishonesty,  then,  coupled  with  such  a  state- 
ment, and  in  reference  to  the  Word  of  Truth  itself,  one  is  apt  to  call  it  by  the 
harder  name  of  profanity. 

The  Work,  then,  is  simply  Scripture  printed  under  classified  heads.  Thus,  to 
take  the  first  Article,  "  Agriculture,"  the  reader  will  ascertain  under  it  what  is 
said  in  Scripture  as  to  the  Land  and  Farms  of  Canaan,  the  processes  of  Husbandry,

such  as  Ploughing,  SSwing,  and  Reaping,  &c.,  and  the  allusions  to  them  contained 
in  the  Prophets  and  in  the  Parables  of  our  Lord,  with  much  more  of  similar  import. 
Talbot  and  West  only  use  a  verse  once,  and  therefore  some  of  their  Sections  are 
brief  and  scanty ;  on  the  other  hand,  we  have  repeated  many  verses  twice,  thrice, 
and  oftener,  our  only  limit  being  the  fear  of  too  large  a  Volume.  Great  care  has 
been  taken  to  secure  accuracy  of  reference,  and  every  verse  has  been  turned  up, 
and  verified  by  young  eyes  and  fingers  in  the  retirement  of  a  rural  Manse.  The 
technical  labor  of  preparing  copy  has  been  performed  by  one  whose  relationship  to 
the  Editor  gave  her  a  filial  interest  in  the  daily  and  protracted  task.  The  Work  is 
enriched  with  a  very  full  Index,  prepared  with  characteristic  accuracy  by  a  friend 
whose  labors  in  a  similar  field  we  have  elsewhere  acknowledged.  Another  peculiar 
advantage  will  be  found  in  the  prefixed  Synopsis,  which  is  so  constructed  that  it 
may  be  read  continuously,  and  it  will  be  found  to  exhibit  a  bird's  eye  view  of  BibHcal 
Antiquities  and  Theology.  By  the  employment  of  Synopsis  and  Index,  every  subject 
of  Scripture  may  be  easily  turned  up,  and  full  informationspeedily  obtained.  In  fine, 
while  our  Book  will  save  time  and  trouble  to  the  inquirer,  yet  we  counsel  the  con- 
tinuous consultation  of  the  Scriptures  themselves,  and  of  the  verses  in  their  original 
connection.  For  there  is  a  living  unity  in  the  Bible  amidst  all  its  diversity,  and  it 
is  with  it  as  with  the  minerals  of  the  globe,  which  present  a  more  glorious  order  in 
the  respective  positions  in  which  nature  has  placed  them,  than  when  artificially 
arranged  on  the  shelves  of  a  cabinet  With  all  the  imperfections  of  this  volume, 
and  they  belong  more  or  less  to  every  compilation  of  the  kind,  we  hope  that  it  may 
be  found  to  be  really  useful,  that  the  Divine  blessing  may  accompany  it,  and  that  it 
may  meet  with  that  cordial  and  extended  welcome  which  has  been,  and  still  is,  so 
kindly  vouchsafed  to  its  two  predecessors. 


The  Dash  so  often  introduced,  is  designed  to  point  out  some  differences  in  the 
Verses  following  it,  such  as  Allusions  and  Examples,  or  Instances  and  Statements, 
adduced  as  contrasts  to  the  Verses  of  the  Topic  or  Section  printed  above  it.

formed by  Joshua  at  Shiloh. 

TENURE  OF  LAND, 

Held  from  God  in  perpetual  entail  on  con- 
dition of  military  Eervice,— returning.if  aliena- 
ted, to  its  orii2;inal  owner  at  the  year  of  jubilee, 
or  redeemable  on  certain  conditions,  in- 
Btances  in  Naomi.  Naboth,  etc.

BaugJit  in  patriarchal  times,  and  made  over

SOIL  OF  CANAAN, 

Eicb,  fertile,  and  well  watered, — with  hills, 
and  valleys,  and  minerals  underneath. 

SPECIAL  AGRARIAN  ENACTMENTS, 

"Wilful  fire-raising  punished  by  restitution,  as 
also  devastations  of  animals, — landmarks  not 
to  be  removed, — growing  crops  might  be 
plucked  by  the  traveller,  but  not  cut  with  a 
Bickle. 

CULTIVATION  OP  SOIL, 

Assigned  to  Adam  and  to  man,  as  the  means

METHODS  OP  CULTIVATION, 

Ploughing,  performed  by  oxm,  and  in  winter,

and  of  ruin. 

SOWING, 

Divers  seeds  not  to  be  used,— often  trodden

hope;  and  the  emblem  of  increase  and  spirit- 
ual instruction.

les;— a  season  of  joy  and  of  industry:  the 
symbol  of  retribution  generally  in  mercy  and 
judgment. 

GLEANING, 

Corners  of  fields  not  to  be  reaped;— forgotten  ritual  sterility  and  desolation.  For  names'of 
Bheafs  not  to  be  fetched,  but  left  for  poor,  deserts  and  forests  in  Scripture,  see  under 
instanced  in  Ruth,  Eartlu

For  cattU,  green  and  abundant,  refreshed  by 
rain,  on  house-tops  short-lived,  soon  withered

lentiles,  mandrakes,  mallows,  millet,  reeds, 
rushes,  rye,  tares.

Of  grass, — a  terrible  visitation,  as  in  days  of 
Ahab; — of  grain, — caused  by  inclement  sea- 
son,— by  drought  and  wet, — by  locusts, — by 
predatory  enemies, — often  very  severe; — hunger 
or  cleanness  of  teeth,  urging  to  various  repulsive 
elements  of  food,  even  during  a  siege  to  canni- 
balism, and  producing  blackness  of  skin,  ema- 
nation, fainting,  and  death :  the  symbol  of 
spiritual  destitution, — instances  in  the  days 
of  Abraham,  Isaac,  Joseph,  of  the  Judges,  of 
David,  Ahab,  Eli.sha,  siege  of  Samaria,  of  seven 
years,  foretold  by  Elisha,  during  siege  of  Jeru-

emblematical  at  the  sjimo  time  of  Z ion's  pro- 
vision,— dependent  on  human  industry  in 
tilling  the  ground,  in  sowing  the  seed,  and 
harvesting  the  products, — ^thanks  therefore  to

bouse  of  Jael,  Samson  at  Lehi,  and  Jesus  at

hand,  etc.

nance, and  com,  wine,  and  oil  connected  toge- 
ther, representing  the  produce  of  the  field, 
vineyard,  and  orchard. 

SOBRIETY,

forced by  describing  the  evils  of  intempe- 
rance, namely,  personal  and  bodily  suffering 
mental  anguish,  domestic  strife  and  conten- 
tion, spiritual  insensibility,  and  if  unrepented 
of,  the  curse  of  God  in  this  world,  and  exclu- 
sion from  the  kingdom  of  heaven — instanced 
in  Noah,  Lot,  and  Nabal;  unjust  imputations 
in  the  case  of  Hannah,  and  by  the  Jews 
against  Christ ;  and  also  against  the  apostles 
on  the  day  of  Pentecost. 

MEALS. 

Principally  two — ^the  dinner,  generally  light, 
and  eaten  in  the  forenoon ;  the  supper,  or 
principal  meal,  eaten  at  a  late  hour  of  the  day; 
the  foi'mer  instanced  in  Joseph,  and  alluded

1.  birth  and  childhood. 
Recorded  hy  Mattheio,  the  espousal  of  Joseph  to 
Mary,  the  appearance  of  an  angel  to  him, 
the  obedience  of  Joseph  to  the  heavenly 
mission,  Ins  flight  into  Egypt  with  Mary  and 
the  child  from  the  rage  of  Herod,  their  return 
on  the  death  of  that  governor,  and  their  tak- 
ing up  their  abode  in  Nazareth, — Recorded  by 
Luke,  the  appearing  of  an  angel  to  Mary  giv- 
ing her  promise  of  the  Saviour,  and  informing 
her  of  the  name  he  should  bear,  the  meeting 
of  Mary  and  Elizabeth  the  mother  of  John 
the  Baptist,  the  birth  of  Jesus  in  Beth- 
lehem, accompanied  by  a  throng  of  angels 
in  the  neighbouring  field,  the  announce- 
ment of  the  event  to  the  sliepherds,  the 
circumcision  on  the  eight  day,  the  visit  to 
the  temple,  Simeon  giving  utterance  to  his 
prediction  respecting  the  child,  the  growth  of 
Jesus  in  wisdom  and  stature,  and  at  the  age 
of  twelve  years  his  disputation  with  the 
doctors  in  the  temple. 

2.  CHRIST'S  relations. 

His  mother  and  brethren  occasionally  attended 
on  liis  ministry,  other  connections  opposed 
his  Messiahship,  his  fellow  townsmen,  for  the 
most  part  viewing  him,  "beside  himself," 
taunted  him  as  the  carpenter,  and  the  carpenter's 
son;  in  the  estimation  of  Jesus,  "his  mother 
and  brethren  were  those  who  did  the  will  of 
his  Father  in  heaven." 


3.    his  forerunner,  JOHN  THE  BAPTIST. 

Predicted  under  the  name  of  Elijah,  to  pre- 
pare the  way  of  the  Messiah,  promised  to 
Zacharias  his  father  in  the  temple,  —  spent 
his  youth  in  retirement,  —  entered  on  the 
ministry  at  the  river  Jordan,— drew  around 
him  multitudes,  described  by  Jesus  as  the 
greatest  of  prophets,  as  a  burning  and  shining 
light,  and  as  a  faithful  witness  he  tfstilied  to 
the  ])re-existence  of  Christ  to  his  divine  ex- 
ceUence,  and  to  his  authority  and  power  to

7.  CHRIST'S  PET^SON  AND  WORK  OFTEN 
MISUNDERSTOOD. 

Seen  in  the  conduct,  and  the  language  of  all 
classes,  the  disciples,  the  priests,  tlie  rulers,  the 
common  people  arising  from  ignorance,  na- 
tional prejudice,  and  seif-i'ighteous  pride. 

8.  CHRIST  OFTEN  OPPOSED  AND  REVILED. 

By  enemies  endeavouring  to  entangle  Him  in 
his  sayings,  throwing  odium  ui)on  him  as  being 
of  Ncizareth,  representing  him  as  a  companion 
of  sinners,  a  glutton  and  a  wine-hibbcr,  and  as 
working  his  miracles  by  Satanic  agency. 

9.  CHRIST  PERSECUTED  AND  CONSPIRED 


By  the  Pkari'^ees,  the  Ilerodiam,  the  chief  priests 
and  rulers — to  lay  hold  ou  hiai. 

v.— Various  Scenes  of  Christ's  Ministry. 
1.  temptation  in  the  wilderness  of 

JUDEA, 

By  Satan  for  forty  days. 

2.  LABOURS  AND  TRAVELS  OF  JESUS  IN  VARIOUS 
PARTS  OF  THE  COUNTRY. 

In  the  districts  of  Judea,  Samaria,  Gahlee, 
and  beyond  Jordan,  in  the  cities  of  Jerusalem, 
Capernaum,  Bethsaida,  Cassarea,  Philippi,  Sy- 
char,  Nazaretli,  etc.,  preaching  the  Gospel, 
coi-ilirming  His  commission  by  miraculous 
works,  calling,  ordaining,  instructing  His 
apostles,  etc. 

3.   SOLEMN  ENTRY  INTO  JERUSALEM, 

Riding  on  an  ass's  colt  accompanied  by  multi- 
tudes strewing  the  way  with  branches  of  palm 
trees,  and  miing  the  air  with  exclamations. 


4.  THE  LAST  PASSOVER, 

Observed  in  an  upper  room,  by  Jesus  and  the 
twelve  Apostles,  after  which  the  ordinance  of 
the  Lord's  Supper  was  instituted  probably  in 
the  absence  of  Judas  who  hsid  gone  out. 

5.  TREACHERY  OF  JUDAS, 

Bargaining  for  thirty  pieces  of  silver  to  hand 
over  Jesus  to  his  enemies,  and  aproaching  his 
master  with  a  kiss  the  symbol  of  friendship, 
he  betrayed  him,  afterwards  smitten  with 
despair,  he  committed  suicide. 

6.   APPREHENSION  OF  JESUS, 

Designed  by  the  chief  priests,  scribes,  and 
elders, — Jesus  in  Gethsemane  the  scene  of 
sorrow, — in  an  agony, — His  sweat  as  great 
drops  of  blood, — Judas  with  a  band  coming 
into  the  garden,  apprehended  him, 

7.  HIS  TRIAL, 

First  before  the  Sanhedrim,  the  charge  against 
him  being  blasphemy,  the  witnesses  false, 
suborned,  and  contradictoiy,  sentence  of  death 
pronounced.  Secondly  before  Pontius  Pilate 
the  Roman  governor,  the  charge  sedition,  and 
the  sentence  clamorously  demanded  was  cruci- 
fixion. 

8.  HIS  DEATH. 

Suffering  manifold  indignities,  spat  on,  buf- 
feted, smitten  on  the  head,  crowned  with 
thorns,  arrayed  in  a  purple  robe,  worshipped 
in  derision,  and  ignominiously  crucified  on 
Calvary  nigh  to  Jerusalem,  between  two 
malefactors,  attended  by  supernatural  dark- 
ness, an  earthquake, — rending  of  the  veil  of 
the  temple, — and  the  opening  of  the  graves  of 
saints, — wilnes'^ed  by  the  women  of  Galilee, 
John,  and  Mary  the  mother  of  Jesus,  the  Cen- 
turion and  Homan  soldiers,  and  by  m  iriy  of 
tlie  Jews, — still  mocked  on  the  cross, — He 
presented  his  prayer  on  behalf  of  his 
persecutors, — his  promise  to  the  thief, — his 
charge  to  John, — his  complaint  of  thirst, — las 
attestation  of  his  work  being  finished,  He 
commended  his  spirit  into  the  hand  of  His 
Father — His  death  designed  as  an  atonement 
in  the  room  of  sinners, — effected  accorc^ing  to 
the  determination  of  God  through  the  mstru- 
mentality  of  the  wicked  Jews, — variously  re^ 
gurded  as  foolishness — a  stumhlingblock,  or  as 
tlie  wisdom  of  God. 

9.  HIS  BURIAL. 

The  body  procured  fiom  Pilate— was  taken 
down  from  the  cross — wrapt  in  tine  linen  with 
spices,  and  laid  in  a  new  tomb — the  persons

thea,  Nicodemus,  etc.

ter into  a  cloud,  the  disciples  gazing  after 
Him,  addreased  by  two  angels,  who  gave  pro-

King  of  Zion,  King  of  righteousness,  etc.,  His

yet  subordinate  to  the  Father,  His  mission 
being  to  glorify  the  Father,  and  to  finish  the 
work  which  the  Father  gave  Him  to  do; 
exercising  this  office,  accomplishing  the  con- 
version, sanctitication,  and  gloritication  of 
His  people — the  subjugation  of  his  enemies  at 
the  last  day,  sitting  as  Judge  of  the  righteous 
and  the  wicked,  with  full  power  to  acquit  and 
justify  the  one  and  condemn  and  punish  the 
other. 


JEWS, 


ORIGIN  OP  THE  JEWISH  NATION. 

Traced  to  Abraham;  called  a  peop-e  above  all 
ethers,  a  holy  nation,  a  kingdom  of  priests;  se- 
lected not  because  better,  or  more  numerous 
than  other  nations,  but  simply  of  sovereign 
grace. 

HIGH  PRIVILEGE  OF  THE  JEWS. 

Covenant  with  God, — dwelling  in  his  land, — 
protected  by  his  favour,— en  joying  the  services 
of  his  tabernacle, — the  ministrations  of  His 
priests,  and  the  teachings  of  His  prophets. 

ISRAEL  IN  EGYPT, 

Subjected  to  cruel  bondage,  described  as  a 
state  of  oppression,  an  iron  furnace,  a  rigorous 
service,  but  seen  and  cherished  by  God;  greatly 
increased  in  number. 

COMMISSION  OP  MOSES, 

Given  by  God  at  the  burning iwsA  to  demand 
the  release  of  the  tribes;  executed  by  doing 
signs  and  wonders,  calling  down  pLigues  ui)on 
Pharaoh  and  his  people — eventually  leading 
forth  the  chosen  people  to  the  land  of  pro- 
mise. 


THE  EXODUS. 

Six  hundred  thousand  marching  out  of  Egypt, 
besides  women  and  children,  accompaniea  by 
a  mixed  multitude,  along  with  flocks  and  herds; 
achieved  by  the  power  of  God;  Egyptian  pur- 
suers drowned  in  Eed  sea. 


SUBSEQUENT  RELATION  OP  THE  JEWS  TO  EGYPT, 

Forbidden  to  look  back  to  it,  to  traffic  with 
it — to  form  alliances  with  it— Egypt  a  bruised 
reed  to  trust  in,  yet  in  the  wilderness  Israel 
often  seeking  to  return  to  it.  • 

ISBAEL  IN  THE  WILDERNESS, 

For  forty  years,  by  the  way  of  the  Eed  sea, 
Edom  and  the  plains  of  Moab,  led  by  Jehovah 
in  the  pillar  of  the  cloud,  fed  by  manna,  and 
water  from  the  flinty  rock,  defended  from 
enemies  by  the  Captain  of  the  Lord's  host. 


SINS  IN  THE  WILDERNESS, 

Munnuring  against  God,  and  aqainst  Moses 
and  Aaron;  cunmiitting  fornication;  with  the 
exception  of  Joshua  and  Caleb,  the  entire

ISRAEL  IN  CANAAN, 

Conquering  the  land,  destroying  thirty-one 
kings,  settled  in  it,  enjoined  to  separate 
themselves  from  all  other  nations,  were  for- 
l)idden  to  make  covenant  with  them. 

THE  SAMARITANS, 

In  one  of  the  provinces  of  Palestine  in  the 
time  of  our  Lord,  descended  from  a  colony 
Bent  by  the  king  of  Assyria  during  the  capti- 
vity; at  first  entirely  idolatrous,  but  afterwards 
mingled  the  ceremonies  of  the  Jews  with 
their  idolatrous  rites;  held  in  great  aversion 
^  by  the  people  of  IsiaeL 

WICKEDNESS  OF  THE  JEWS, 

Forsaldng  the  worship  of  God,  and  turning  to 
the  worship  of  idols,  in  following  the  customs 
of  surrounding  nations,  and  forming  alliances 
with  them,  in  ''hardening  their  nech,"  and  in  dis- 
obey i  rig  tlie  statutes  of  Jehovah;  famine,  and 
pestilence,  and  war  sent  upon  the  people,  God 
*' forsook  His  dwellingplacet"  and  sent  the 
people  into  captivity. 

ISRAEL  IN  CAPTIVITY, 

The  ten  tribes  conquered  by  Shalmanfzer 
king  of  Assyria,  and  carried  to  Halah,  Habor, 
etc.;  Judah,  by  Nebuchadnezzar  king  of  Ba- 
bylon, and  carried  to  Ciiaidea^  where  they 
remained  for  seventy  yeai-s. 

CONDITION  DURING  CAPTIVITY, 

Their  land  mourning  in  solitude,  Jerusalem 
sitting  in  widowhood,  Zion  covered  with  a  cloud, 
and  the  other  cities  of  the  land  as  a  wilder- 
ness, the  people  in  captivity  as  weeping  by 
the  rivers  of  Babyloa 

THE  PRESERVED  EEMNANT, 

With  the  promise  that  they  should  be  ga- 
thered again,  restored  to  their  own  land,  and 
there  again  take  root,  animated  by  the  hope  of 
deliverance,  and  by  the  expectation  of  seeing 
their  temple  again  built  up. 

EETURN  FROM  CAPTIVITY, 

Accomplished  by  the  proclamation  of  Cyrus, 
who  had  taken  Babylon,  granting  liberty  to 


the  captives  to  return  and  build  Jerusalem, 
in  conformity  with  which  many  went  back. 

(rebuilding  of  JERUSALEM,  See  under  canaan.) 

OPPOSITION  TO  THE  RETURNED  TRIBES. 

From  the  Samaritans,  false  pretences  of 
friendship,  false  reprei^entations  to  the  king, 
and  active  opposition  to  the  undertaking. 

FINAL  DISPERSION  OF  THE  JEWS, 

Predicted  by  Moses  as  the  consequence  of 
persisting  in  disobedience,  by  Christ  as  the 
consequence  of  lejecting  him— was  accom- 
plished by  the  Romans  under  Titus  when 
Jerusalem  was  destroyed,  the  Jewish  polity 
broken  up,  and  the  people  scattered  over  ail 
nations. 

PROPHECIES  REFERRING  TO  AND  ILLUSTRATED 
IN  THEIR  HISTORY. 

Having  allusion  to  the  enemies  of  Israel,  to 
captivity,  to  a  return  from  it,  to  the  joy  at- 
tending such  a  return,  to  the  enlargement  of 
the  nation,  to  Zion  attired  in  beautv,  to  the 
Chinch  of  Israel  as  the  light  of  the  Gentiles,  etc. 

PROPHECIES  RESPECTING  THE  GENTILES  AS  THE 
SUCCESSORS  OF  THE  JEWS. 

The  heathen  as  the  Messiah's  inheritance,  all 
nations  flowing  to  the  temple,  tlie  isles  wait- 
ing for  God's  law,  incense  being  offered  from 
the  rising  to  the  getting  of  the  sun,  etc. 

JEWISH  FAITH  AND  JEWISH  PREJUDICE. 

Seen,  the  former  in  the  converts  on  the 
day  of  Pentecost,  and  in  the  nuiueroua 
converts  to  the  gospel  which  were  gather- 
ed by  the  apostles  from  all  ranks,  the 
latter  seen  in  the  obstinacy  and  zeal  with 
which  the  nation  at  large  maintained  the  per- 
petual obligation  of  the  ceremonial  law,  in- 
stanced in  Peter's  preaching  to  Cornelius,  in 
the  church  at  Antioch,  in  the  synod  at  Jeru- 
salem. 

THE  CHURCH  AMONG  THE  GENTILES, 

Made  up  of  believers  from  all  nations,  Fault 
the  Apostle  of  the  Gentiles. 

FINAL  INBRINGING  OP  THE  JEWS, 

Involved  in  God's  promise  to  Abraham,  often 
the  theme  of  prediction  by  Isaiah,  repeatedly 
foretold  by  Paul.

PERSECUTION.] 


SYNOPSIS. 


[praise  and  prateb. 


PEBSECUTION. 


PERSECUTION, 

Springing  from  hatred  of  the  righteous,  but 
foretold  and  expected,  often  keen  and  rever- 
Eing  natural  affection,  son  against  father — 
Christ  and  his  Apostles  warning  the  churches 
of  coming  tribulation. 


various  forms  of  it, 
Ridicule,  gazmg-stock — hatred — outrage — con- 
spiracies— took  counsel  to  kill — stiniulating 
others  to  violence — as  against  Jeremiah  and 
against  Paul— judicial  propess— preaching  si- 
lenced as  in  case  of  Jeremiah  and  Apostles — 
fines — imprisonment— scourging — excommu- 
nication, exile— death  by  sword— James  killed 
by  Herod— by  stoning,  and  iu  various  other 


VARIOUS  PLEAS  FOR  PERSECUTION, 

Defaming  the  apostles  as  aisatfeuted — ^Elijah 
accused  also  of  disaffection  —  persecutors 
imagining  that  they  are  doing  God  service-^ 
Apostles  represented  as  troublesome — their 
enemies — often  referred  ta 

PERSECUTION  DEFEATING  ITS  OWN  END, 

The  apostles  and  early  church  waxing  bolder, 
and  when  scattered  abroad  diffusing  the  gospel ; 
persecution  forbidden  by  God,  and  punished 
by  liim— blood  required  —  they  shed  blood, 
and  they  must  drink  blood;  sufferers  supported 
by  God  —  blessed,  inspirited,  and  clothed  at 
length  in  white  robes — suffer  with  him,  reig/i 
with  him — to  be  avoided  however— persecuted 
in  one  city— ^ee  ye  into  another— Temixxka,ble 
deliverances  celebrated  in  tSciipture. 


PRAISE  AND  PRAYER 


PRAISE. 

Offered  to  God  alone,  as  alone  worthy  of  it, 
and  as  the  one  benefactor — offered  to  Him  by 
angels,  by  saints,  by  all — by  every  thing  that  hath 
being;  on  earth,  in  public  worship,  in  the  con- 
gregation, and  in  heaven— Hallelujah. 

REASONS  OF  PRAISE. 

It  is  good  —  for  his  mercy  —  his  providence, 
mighfy  acts— for  Christ  and  his  blessings — the 
unspeakable  gift — for  prayers  heard — for  daily 
mercies,  more  in  number  than  the  sand,  for  spe- 
cial mercies,  as  by  Abraham,  Jethro,  Hannah, 
etc. — for  public  blessings — for  success  in  war, 
victory  gotten  by  his  right  hand  and  holy  arm. 

PRAISE  NOW  AND  FO|l  EVER. 

Seoen  times  a  rfffy— doxologies  in  Scripture — 
public  processions  of  pvaise,in  valley  of Berachah, 
and  at  rebuilding  of  Jerusalem — two  great 
companies — one  over  against  the  other,  praising 
God. 

PRAYER, 

Commanded  without  ceasing — ^the  example  in 
our  Lord's  prayer— forms  of  prayer — vain  reper 
titions. 

SEASONS, 

Morning,  noon,  evening,  midnight;  place, 
anywhere — Jeremiah  iu  dungeon,  Jonah  in 
whale's  belly;  posture,  kneeling,  bowing,  and 
prostration. 

CONFESSION, 

Necessary,  as  the  expression  of  genuine  peni- 
tence— I  have  sinned — many  instances  and 
records  of  it  in  Scriptures,  as  in  Ezra,  Nehe- 


miah,  Joshua,  and  Daniel;  sin  confessed  to 
others  as  Achan  to  Joshua — confess  your  faults 
one  to  another. 


Based  upon  the  promises— upon  providence 
—upon  ttie  divine  goodness— upon  the  divine 
justice,  Lord  hear  the  right — upon  the  divine 
glory— upon  confidence  in  God  and  relation 
to  Him,  in  Thee  is  my  trust. 

INTERCESSION, 

Commanded /or  all  saints— some  instances  of 
it,  as  in  Moses,  Eli,  Job — some  exceptions — 
pray  not  thou  for  this  people — the  sin  unto  death 
not  to  be  prayed  for — intercession  requested 
by  Pharaoh — intercession  for  ministers  of  the 
gospel — pray  for  us— for  saints— for  family 
{see  under  family) — for  our  country  —  bless 
thine  inheritance;  in  public  distress,  for  victory 
— command  deliverances  for  Jacob. 

EARNEST  DESIRE  OF  BEING  HEARD, 

Importance  of  prayer — he  is  good  unto  them  thcct 
wait  for  him — its  value  often  experienced,  from 
the  time  of  Seth  to  that  of  Pentecost  and  the 
Apostles — omission  of  prayer  a  sin — restraining 
prayer;  once  forbidden  by  a  human  law,  which 
Daniel  disregarded. 

DIVINE  PROMISE  TO  HEAR  PRAYER. 

Ask  and  it  shall  be  given;  conditions  of  being 
heard,  sincerity,  fervour,  and  faith;  hope  of 
being  heard — the  Lord  will  hear — prayers  heard 
in  many  recorded  instances  —  prayers  not 
heard,  and  reason  given— if  I  regard  iniquity 
in  mine  heart,  the  Lord  will  not  hear  me.

SACRIFICES. 


SACRIFICES,  PATRIARCHAL, 

Often  offered  in  patriarchal  times,  instances 
in  Cain  and  Abel,  Noah,  Abraham,  Balaam , 
etc. 

UNDER  THE  MOSAIC  DISPENSATION. 

Offered  on  an  altar,  and  by  Aaron  and  his 
Bons,  very  rarely  in  other  places  as  at  Sinai, 
Gilgal,  the  token  of  devotion,  acceptable  to 
God, — sacrifice  of  a  broken  spirit,  of  believers, 
a  living  sacrifice, — also  of  praise, — sacrifice 
never  a  substitute  for  obedience;  instanced 
in  Saul  and  the  Hebrew  nation,  as  described 
by  the  psalmist,  the  prophets  Isaiah,  Jere- 
miah and  Hosea, — a  right  spirit  essential  to 
acceptance,  sacrifice  of  wicked  an  abomination', 
the  discontinuance  of  sacrifice  threatened  as 
a  great  calamity  to  the  Jewish  people. 

DIFFERENT  MATERIALS  OF  SACRIFICE. 

Quadrupeds  from  flock  and  herd,  and  birds — 
their  qualifications,  that  they  were  without 
blemish,  and  of  a  certain  age. 

MEAT.OFFERINO. 

For  priests  and  people, — ^prepared  in  different 
ways, — ^frankincense,— -drink  offering  of  wine, 
— salt  necessary  to  every  meat-offering,  but 
neither  leaven  nor  honey  to  be  employed. 

DIFFERENT  KINDS  OF  SACRIFICE. 

Burnt-offering  wholly  consumed  by  fire, — 
peace-offering  in  which  only  certain  parts  were 
consumed,  the  priest  and  worshippere  eating 


the  rest,— sin-offering  and  trespass-offerings 
particularized, — instances  of  great  sacrifices 
at  Gilgal,  at  carrying  up  the  ark,  in  time  of 
Solomon,  liezekiah  and  Ezra. 

PERIODS  AND  OCCASIONS  OF  SACRIFICE. 

Daily  at  morning  or  evening,  double  sacrifice 
on  Sabbath, — at  new  moon, — at  the  passover, 
on  the  first,  tenth  and  fifteenth  of  seventh 
month, — ceremony  of  scape-goat  bearing  ini- 
quities into  a  land  not  inhabited, — sacrifices  at 
child-birth, — for  sins  of  ignorance  on  part  of 
people  and  rulers, — for  priests,  and  at  cleans- 
ing of  lepers, — at  dedication  of  sanctuary,  with 
the  consecrating  of  its  altar  and  priesthood. 

THE  RUBRIC. 

Victim  to  betaken  and  slain,  its  blood  poured 
out,  its  carcase  flayed,  and  fat,  kidneys,  etc. 
removed,  its  inwards  and  legs  to  be  washed 
in  water, — hands  laid  on  it, — and  confession 
made  over  it,— its  breast  and  right  shoulder 
waived  toward  the  four  quarters  of  heaven,— 
carcase  of  beasts  whose  blood  is  carried  with 
the  vail,  to  be  burnt  without  the  camp, — no 
stranger  to  eat  of  holg  things,  but  these  to  be 
eaten  by  Aaron  and  his  sons  in  the  holy  place. 

PURPOSE  OF  SACRIFICES. 

To  secure  pardon, — the  priest  shall  make  an 
atonement',  seasons  of  sacrifice,  therefore  joy,— 
without  power  in  themselves, — but  simply 
types,— not  possible  that  blood  of  bulls  and 
goats  should  take  away  sins.

SCRIPTUEB.

HOLY   SCRIPTURES,

DISTRIBUTION"  OP 
LAND. 

Num.  xxvl,  52-56.  And  the 
Lord  spake  unto  Moses,  saying, 
Unto  these  the  land  shall  be  di- 
vided for  an  inheritance  accord- 
ing to  the  number  of  names.  To 
many  thou  shalt  give  the  more 
hiheritauce,  and  to  few  thou  shalt 
give  the  less  inheritance:  to  every 
one  shall  his  inheritance  be  given 
according  to  those  that  were 
numbered  of  him.  Notwithstand- 
mg  the  land  shall  be  divided  by 
lot;  according  to  the  names  of  the 
tribes  of  their  fathers  they  shall 
inherit.  According  to  the  lot  shall 
the  possession  tliereof  be  divided 
between  many  and  few. 

Num.  xxxiii,  53,  54.  And  ye 
ehall  dispossess  the  inhabitants  of 
the  land,  and  dwell  therein:  for  I 
have  given  you  the  land  to  pos- 
sess it.  And  ye  shall  divide  the 
land  by  lot  for  aa  inheritance 
among  your  families :  and  to  the 
more  ye  siiall  give  the  more  in- 
heritance, and  to  the  fewer  ye 
shall  give  the  less  inheritance : 
every  man's  inheritance,  shall  be 
in  the  place  where  his  lot  falleth; 
according  to  the  tribes  of  your 
fathers  ye  shall  inherit. 

Joshua  xiv,  1-5.  And  these  are 
the  countries  which  the  children 
of  Israel  inherited  in  the  land  of 
Canaan,  which  Eleazar  the  priest, 
and  Joshua  the  son  of  Nun,  and  the 
heads  of  the  fathers  of  the  tribes 
of  the  children  of  Israel,  distri- 
buted for  inheritance  to  them.  By 
lot  was  their  inheritance,  as  the 
Lord  commanded  by  the  hand  of 
Moses,  for  the  nine  tribes,  and  for 
the  half  tribe.  For  Moses  had 
given  the  inheritance  of  two  tribes 
and  an  half  tribe  on  the  other  side 
Jordan :  but  unto  the  Levites  he 
gave  none  inheritance  among 
them.  For  the  children  of  Joseph 
were  two  tribes,  Manasseh  and 
Ephraim:  therefore  they  gave  no 
part  unto  the  Levites  in  the  land, 
save  cities  to  dwell  in,  with  their 
BUhurbs  for  their  cattle  and  for 


their  substance.  As  the  Lord 
commanded  Moses,  so  the  chil- 
dren ot  Israel  did,  and  they  divided 
the  land. 

Joshua  xviii,  10,  And  Joshua 
cast  lots  for  them  in  Shiloh  before 
the  Lord:  and  there  Joshua  di- 
vided the  land  unto  the  children 
of  Israel  according  to  theh:  divi- 
sions. 

Josh.  xix.  51.  These  are  the 
inheritances,  which  Eleazar  the 
priest,  and  Joshua  the  son  of  Nun, 
and  the  heads  of  the  fathers  of 
the  tribes  of  the  children  of  Israel, 
divided  for  an  inheritance  by  lot 
in  Shiloh  before  the  Lord,  at  the 
door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation. So  they  made  an  end 
of  dividing  the  country. 

TENURE, 

Lev.  XXV,  13-17.  In  the  year  of 
this  jubilee  ye  shall  return  every 
man  unto  his  possession.  And  if 
thou  sell  ought  unto  thy  neigh- 
bour, or  buyest  ought  of  thy  neigh- 
bour's hand,  ye  shall  not  oppress 
one  another;  According  to  the 
number  of  years  after  the  jubilee 
thou  shalt  buy  of  thy  neighbour, 
and  according  unto  the  number 
of  years  of  the  fruits  he  shall  sell 
unto  thee:  According  to  the  mul- 
titude of  years  thou  shalt  increase 
the  price  thereof,  and  according 
to  the  fewness  of  years  thou  shalt 
diminish  the  price  of  it;  for  ac- 
cording to  the  number  of  the 
years  of  the  fruits  doth  he  sell 
unto  thee.  Ye  shall  not  therefore 
oppress  one  another;  but  thou 
Shalt  fear  thy  God:  for  I  am  the 
Lord  your  God. 

Lev.  XXV,  23-28.  The  land  shall 
not  be  sold  for  ever :  for  the  land 
is  mine ;  for  ye  are  strangers  and 
sojourners  with  me.  And  in  all 
the  land  of  your  possession  ye 
shall  grant  a  redemption  for  the 
land.  If  thy  brother  be  waxen 
poor,  and  hath  sold  away  some  of 
his  possession,  and  if  any  of  his 
kin  come  to  redeem  it,  then  shall 
1 


he  redeem  that  which  his  brother 
sold.  And  if  the  man  have  none 
to  redeem  it,  and  himself  be  able 
to  redeem  it;  Then  let  him  count 
the  years  of  the  sale  thereof,  and 
restore  the  overplus  unto  the  man 
to  whom  he  sold  it;  that  he  may 
return  unto  his  possession.  But  if 
he  be  not  able  to  restore  it  to  him, 
then  that  which  is  sold  shall  re- 
main in  the  hand  of  him  that  hath 
bought  it  until  the'year  of  jubilee: 
and  in  the  jubilee  it  shall  go  out, 
and  he  shall  return  unto  his  pos- 
session. 

Examples. 

Ruth  iv,  3,  4.  And  he  said  unto 
the  kinsman,  Naomi,  that  is  come 
again  out  of  the  country  of  Moab, 
selleth  a  parcel  of  land,  which  icas 
our  brother  Elimelech's:  And  I 
thought  to  advertise  thee,  saying, 
Buy  it  before  the  inhabitants,  and 
before  the  elders  of  my  people. 
If  thou  wilt  redeem  it,  redeem  it: 
but  if  thou  wilt  not  redeem  it, 
then  tell  me,  that  I  may  know:  for 
there  is  none  to  redeem  it  beside 
thee;  and  I  am  after  thee.  And 
he  said,  I  will  redeem  it. 

Ruth  W,  6-9,11.  And  the  kinsman 
said,  I  cannot  redeem  it  for  my- 
self, lest  I  mar  mine  own  inheri- 
tance :  redeem  thou  my  right  to 
thyself;  for  I  cannot  redeem  it. 
Now  this  was  the  manner  in 
former  time  in  Israel  concerning 
redeeming  and  concerning  chang- 
ing, for  to  confirm  all  things;  a 
man  pluclced  off  his  shoe,  and 
gave  it  to  his  neighbour:  and  this 
teas  a  testimony  in  Israel.  There- 
fore the  kinsman  said  unto  Boaz, 
Buy  it  for  thee.  So  he  drew  off 
his  shoe.  And  Boaz  said  unto  the 
elders,  and  unto  all  the  people,  Yo 
are  witnesscis  this  day,  that  I  have 
bought  all  that  teas  Elimelech's, 
and  all  that  vxis  Chilion's  and 
Mahlon's,  of  the  hand  of  Naomi. 
And  all  the  people  that  tvere  in 
the  gate,  and  the  elders,  said. 
We  are  witnesses.

2  Kings  viii,  3-6.  And  it  came  to 
pass  at  the  seven  years'  end,  that 
the  woman  returned  out  of  the 
land  of  the  Philistines:  and  she 
went  fortli  to  cry  unto  the  king 
for  her  house  and  for  her  lanJ 
And  the  king:  tallied  with  Geliazi 
the  servant  of  the  man  of  God, 
saying.  Tell  me,  I  pray  thee,  all 
the  great  things  that  Elisha  hath 
done.  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
he  was  telling  the  king  how  he 
had  restored  a  dead  body  to  life, 
that,  behold,  the  woman,  whose 
son  he  had  restored  to  life,  cried 
to  the  king  for  lier  house  and  for 
her  land.  And  Gchazi  said,  My 
lord,  O  king,  this  is  the  woman, 
and  this  2S  her  son,  whom  Ehsha 
restored  to  life.  And  Avhen  the 
king  asked  the  woman,  she  told 
him.  So  the  king  appointed  unto 
her  a  certain  officer,  saying,  Ke- 
Btore  all  that  teas  her's,  and  all 
the  fruits  of  the  field  since  the 
day  that  she  left  the  land,  even 
until  now. 

Lam.  V,  2.  Our  inheritance  is 
turned  to  strangers,  our  houses  to 
aUens. 


TRANSFER  OF  LAND. 
IN  EARLY  TIMES. 

Gen.  xxiii,  7-9.  And  Abraham 
stood  up,  and  bowed  himself  to 
the  people  of  the  land,  even  to  the 
children  of  Ileth.  And  he  com- 
muned with  them,  saying,  If  it 
be  your  mind  that  I  should  bury 
my  dead  out  of  my  sight;  hear  me, 
and  intreat  for  me  to  Ephron  the 
son  of  Zohar,  That  he  may  give 
me  the  cave  of  Machpelah,  which 
he  hath,  which  is  in  the  end  of  his 
field;  for  as  much  money  as  it  is 
worth  he  shall  give  it  me  for  a  pos- 
session of  a  burying-place  amongst 
you. 

Gen.  xxiii,  13-16.  And  he  spake 
unto  Ephron  In  the  audience  of 
the  people  of  the  land,  saying, 
I'.ut  if  thou  wilt  give  it,  I  pray 
thee,  hear  me:  I  will  give  thee 
money  for  the  field;  take  it  of  me, 
and  I  will  bury  my  dead  there. 
And  Ephron  answered  Abraham, 
saying  unto  him.  My  lord,  hear- 
ken unto  me:  the  land  is  v:orth 
four  hundred  shekels  of  silver; 
what  is  that  betwixt  me  and  thee? 
bury  therefore  thy  dead.  And 
Abraham  hearkened  unto  Ephron; 
and  Abraham  weighed  to  Ephron 
the  silver,  which  he  had  named 
in  the  audience  of  tlie  sons  of  Heth, 
four  hundred  shekels  of  silver,  cur- 
rent money  with  the  merchant. 

Gen.  xxxiii,  18,  19.  And  Jacob 
came  to  Shalem  a  city  of  Shecheni, 
which  is  In  the  land  of  Canaan, 
when  he  came  from  Padan-aram; 
and  pitched  his  tent  before  the 
city.  And  he  bought  a  parcel  of 
u  field,  where  he  had  spread  his

UNDER  JEWISH  LAW. 

2  Sam.  xxiv,21-5i4.  And  Araunah 
said.  Wherefore  is  my  lord  the 
king  come  to  his  servant?  And 
David  said,  To  buy  the  threshing- 
floor  of  thee,  to  build  an  altar  unto 
the  Lord,  that  the  plague  may  be 
stayed  from  the  people.  And 
Araunah  said  unto  David,  Let  my 
lord  the  king  take  and  olfer  up 
what  seemeth  good  unto  him:  be- 
hold, here  be  oxen  for  burnt  sacri- 
fice, and  threshing  Instruments 
and  other  instruments  of  the  oxen 
for  wood.  All  these  things  did 
Araunah,  as  a  king,  gl-se  unto  the 
king.  And  Araunah  said  unto 
the  king,  The  Lord  thy  God  ac- 
cept thee.  And  the  king  said  unto 
Araunah,  Nay;  but  I  will  surely 
buy  i^  of  thee  at  a  price:  neither 
will  I  ofier  burnt  offerings  unto 
the  Lord  my  God  of  that  which 
doth  cost  me  nothing.  So  David 
bought  the  threshing-floor  and 
the  oxen  for  fifty  shekels  of  sil- 
ver. 

Jer.xxxii,6-9.  And  Jeremiah  said. 
The  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto 
me,  saying.  Behold,  Hanameel  the 
son  of  Shallum  thine  uncle  shall 
come  unto  thee,  saying,  Buy  thee 
my  field  that  is  in  Anathoth :  for 
the  right  of  redemption  is  thine 
to  buy  it.  So  Ilunameel  mine 
uncle's  son  came  to  me  in  the 
court  of  the  prison  according  to 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  and  said 
unto  me,  Buy  my  field,  I  pray 
thee,  that  is  in  Anathoth,  which 
is  in  the  country  of  Benjamin:  for 
the  riglit  of  inheritance  is  thine, 
and  the  redemption  is  thine;  buy 
it  for  thyself.  Then  I  knew  that 
this  was  the  word  of  the  Lord. 
And  I  bouglit  the  field  of  Hana- 
meel my  uncle's  son,  that  teas  in 
Anathotli,  and  weighed  him  the 
money,  even  seventeen  shekels  of 
silver. 

Jer.  xxxii,  43,  And  fields  shall 
bo  bought  in  this  land,  whereof 
ye  say.  It  is  desolate  without  man 
or  beast;  it  is  given  into  the  hand 
of  the  Chaldeans. 

Frov.  xxxl,  16.  She  consldereth 
a  field,  and  buyeth  It:  with  the 
2 


fruit  of  her  hands  rtie  planteth 
a  vineyard. 
Acts  V,  1,  2.  But  a  certain  man 

named  Ananias,  with  Sapphirahis 
wite,  sold  a  possession,  And  kept 
back  part  of  the  price,  his  wife 
also  being  privy  to  it,  and  brought 
a  certain  part,  and  laid  it  at  the 
apostles'  feet.

Ephron,  which  was  in  Machpelah, 
wliich  was  before  Mamre,  the  field, 
and  the  cave  which  icas  therein, 
and  all  the  trees  that  were  in  the 
field,  that  v:ere  in  all  the  borders 
round  about,  were  made  sure  unto 
Abraham  for  a  possession  in  the 
presence  of  the  children  of  Heth, 
before  all  that  went  in  at  the  gate 
of  his  city. 

Jer.  xxxii,  10-15.  And  I  sub- 
scribed the  evidence,  and  sealed 
it,  and  took  witnesses,  and  weighed 
him  the  money  in  the  balances. 
So  I  took  the  evidence  of  the  pur- 
chase, both  that  which  was  sealed 
according  to  the  law  and  custom, 
and  that  which  was  open :  And  I 
gave  the  evidence  of  the  purchase 
unto  Baruch  the  son  of  Neriah,the 
son  of  Maaseiah,  in  the  sight  of 
Hanameel  mine  uncle's  son,  and 
In  the  presence  of  the  witnesses 
that  subscribed  the  book  of  the 
purchase,  before  all  the  Jews  that 
sat  in  the  court  of  the  prison. 
And  I  charged  Baruch  before 
them,  saying,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  the  God  of  Israel;  Take 
these  evidences,  this  evidence  of 
the  purchase,  both  which  is  sealed, 
and  this  evidence  which  is  open; 
and  put  them  in  an  earthen  vessel, 
that  they  may  continue  many  days. 
For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
the  God  of  Israel;  Houses  and 
fields  and  vineyards  shall  be  pos- 
sessed again  in  this  land. 

Jer.  xxxii,  44.  Men  shall  buy 
fields  for  money,  and  subscribe 
evidences,  and  seal  them,  and  take 
witnesses  in  the  land  of  Benjamin, 
and  in  the  places  about  JcrusiUem, 
and  in  the  cities  of  Judah,  and  in 
the  cities  of  tlie  mountains,  and  in 
the  cities  of  the  volley,  and  in  the 
cities  of  the  south:  for  I  will  cause 
their  captivity  to  return,  saith  the 
Lord.

son  of  Nun,  and  Caleb  the  son  of 
Jephunneh,  which  were  of  them 
that  searched  the  land,  rent  their 
clothes:  And  they  spake  unto  all 
the  company  of  the  children  of 
Israel,  saying.  The  land,  which  we 
passed  through  to  search  it,  is  an 
exceeding  good  land.  If  the  Lord 
delight  in  us,  then  he  will  bring 
Hs  info  this  land,  and  give  it  us; 
a  land  which  floweth  with  milk 
and  honey. 


AGRICULTURE. 


Deut.  1, 22-25.  And  ye  came  near 
niito  me  every  one  of  you,  and 
said,  We  will  send  men  before  us, 
and  they  shall  search  us  out  the 
land,  and  bring  us  word  ag'ain  by 
what  way  we  must  go  up,  and  into 
what  cities  we  shall  come.  And 
the  saying  pleased  me  well:  and  I 
took  twelve  men  of  you,  one  of  a 
tribe:  And  they  turned  and  went 
np  into  the  mountain,  and  came 
anto  the  valley  of  Eshcol,  and 
searched  it  out.  And  they  took 
of  the  fruit  of  the  land  in  their 
hands,  and  brought  it  down  unto 
as,  and  brought  us  word  again, 
and  said.  It  is  a  good  land  which 
the  Lord  our  God  doth  give  us. 

Deut.  viii,  7-10.  For  the  Lord 
thy  God  bringeth  thee  into  a  good 
land,  a  land  of  brooks  of  Avater,  of 
fountains  and'  depths  that  spring 
out  of  valleys  and  hills;  A  land  of 
wheat,  and  barley,  and  vines,  and 
flg  trees,  and  pomegranates;  a 
land  of  oil  olive,  and  honey ;  A 
land  wherein  thou  shalt  eat  bread 
without  scarceness,  thou  shalt  not 
lack  any  thing  in  it;  a  land  whose 
stones  are  iron,  and  out  of  whose 
hills  thou  mayest  dig  brass.  When 
thou  hast  eaten  and  art  full,  then 
thou  Shalt  bless  the  Lord  thy  God 
for  the  good  land  which  he  hath 
given  thee. 

Deiit.  xi.  10-12.  For  the  land^ 
whither  thou  goest  in  to  pos- 
sess it,  is  not  as  the  land  of  Egypt, 
from  whence  ye  came  out,  where 
thou  sowetM  thy  seed,  and  water- 
edst  it  with  thy  foot,  as  a  garden 
of  herbs:  But  the  land,  whither  ye 
go  to  possess  it,  is  a  land  of  hills 
and  valleys,  and  drinketh  water 
of  the  rain  of  heaven:  A  land 
which  the  Lord  thy  God  careth 
for:  the  eyes  of  the  Lord  thy  God 
are  always  upon  it,  from  the  be- 
ginning of  the  year  even  unto  the 
end  of  the  year.

Shalt  not  eat  of  it :  cursed  is  the 
gi'ound  for  thy  sake ;  in  sorrow 
Shalt  thou  eat  of  it  all  the  days 
of  thy  life;  Thorns  also  and  this- 
tles shall  it  bring  forth  to  thee; 
and  thou  shalt  eat  the  herb  of  the 
field;  In  the  sweat  of  thy  face 
Shalt  thou  eat  bread,  till  thou  re- 
turn unto  the  ground;  for  out  of 
it  wast  thou  taken:  for  dust  thou 
art,  and  unto  dust  shalt  thou  re- 
turn. Therefore  the  Lord  God

from  whence  he  was  taken.

all  the  Israelites  went  down  to 
the  Philistines,  to  sharpen  every 
man  his  sliare,  and  his  coulter, 
and  his  axe,  and  his  mattock.  Yet

fore him,  and  he  with  the  twelfth: 
and  Elijah  passed  by  him,  and 
cast  his  mantle  upon  him.  And 
he  left  the  oxen,  and  ran  after 
Elijah,  and  said.  Let  me,  I  pray 
thee,  kiss  my  father  and  my  mo- 
ther, and  then  I  will  follow  thee. 
And  he  said  unto  him,  Go  back 
again:  for  what  have  I  done  to 
thee?  And  he  returned  back  from 
him,  and  took  a  yoke  of  oxen,  and 
slew  them,  and  boiled  their  flesh 
with  the  instruments  of  the  oxen, 
and  gave  unto  the  people,  and  they 
did  eat.  Then  he  arose,  and  went 
after  Elijah,  and  ministered  unto 
him. 

Job  1, 14, 15.  And  there  came  a 
messenger  unto  Job,  and  said,  The

them  away;  yea,  they  have  slain 
the  servants  with  the  edge  of  the 
SAvord;  and  I  only  amescapedalone 
to  tell  thee.

into  a  ship,  and  sat;  and  the 
whole  multitude  stood  on  the 
shore.  And  he  spake  many  things 
unto  them  in  parables,  saying, 
Behold,  a  sower  went  forth  to 
soAv;  And  when  he  sowed,  some 
seeds  fell  by  the  way  side,  and  the 
fowls  came  and  devoured  them 
up:  Some  fell  upon  stony  places, 
where  they  had  not  much  earth: 
and  forthwith  they  sprung  up, 
because  they  had  no  deepness 
of  earth:  And  when  the  sun  was 
up,  they  were  scorched;  and  be- 
cause they  had  no  root,  they  with- 
ered away.  And  some  fell  among 
thorns;  and  the  thorns  spioing  up, 
and  choked  them:  But  other  fell 
into  good  ground,  and  brought 
forth  fruit,  some  an  hundredfold,

Matt,  xiii,  18-23.  Hear  ye  there- 
fore  the  parable  of  the  sower 


AGRICULTURE. 


When  any  one  heareth  the  ■word 
of  the  kin^ilom,  and  understand- 
eth  it  not,  then  coineth  the  wicked 
one,  and  catcheth  away  that  which 
was  sown  in  his  heart.  This  is  he 
which  received  seed  by  the  way 
side.  But  he  that  received  the 
seed  into  stony  places,  the  same 
is  he  that  heareth  the  word,  and 
anon  with  joy  receiveth  it;  Yet 
hath  he  not  root  in  himself,  hut 
dureth  for  a  while:  for  when  tri- 
bulation or  persecution  ariseth 
because  of  the  word,  by  and  by 
he  is  offended.  He  also  that  re- 
ceived seed  among  the  thorns  is 
ne  that  heareth  the  word;  and 
the  care  of  this  world,  and  the 
deceitfulness  of  riches,  choke 
the  word,  and  he  becometh  un- 
fruitful. But  he  that  received 
seed  into  the  good  ground  is  he 
that  heareth  the  word,  and  under- 
standeth  it;  which  also  heareth 
fruit,  and  bringeth  forth,  some  an 
hundredfold,  some  sixty,  some 
thirty. 

Gal.  vi,  7,  8.  Be  not  deceived: 
God  is  not  mocked:  for  what- 
soever a  man  soweth.  that  shall 
he  also  reap.  For  he  that  soweth 
to  his  flesh  shall  of  the  flesh  reap 
corruption;  but  he  that  soweth  to 
the  Spirit  shall  of  the  Spu-it  reap 
life  everlasting.

able put  he  forth  unto  them,  say- 
ing. The  kingdom  of  heaven  is 
likened  unto  a  man  which  sowed 
good  seed  in  his  field:  But  while 
men  slept,  his  enemy  came  and 
sowed  tares  among  the  wheat, 
and  went  his  way.  But  when  the 
blade  was  sprung  up,  and  brought 
forth  fruit,  then  appeared  the 
tares  also.  So  the  servants  of  the 
householder  came  and  said  unto 
him,  Sir,  didst  not  thou  sow  good 
seed  in  thy  field?  from  whence 
then  hath  it  tares?  He  said  unto 
them.  An  enemy  hath  done  this. 
The  servants  said  unto  him.  Wilt 
thou  then  that  we  go  and  gather 
them  up?  But  he  said.  Nay;  lest 
wJiile  ye  gather  up  the  tares,  ye 
root  up  also  the  wheat  with  them. 
Let  both  grow  together  until  the

harvest:  and  in  the  time  of  harvest 
I  will  sav  to  the  reapers.  Gather 
ye  toget^her  first  the  tares,  and 
bind  them  in  bundles  to  burn 
them:  but  gather  the  wheat  into 
my  barn. 

Ilatth.  xiii,  36-43.  Then  Jesus 
sent  the  multitude  away,  and 
went  into  the  house:  and  his  dis- 
ciples came  unto  liim,  saying,  De- 
clare unto  us  the  parable  of  the 
tares  of  the  field.  lie  answered 
and  said  unto  them,  He  that  soweth 
the  good  seed  is  the  Son  of  man; 
The  field  is  the  world;  the  good 
seed  are  the  children  of  the  king- 
dom; but  the  tares  are  the  chil- 
dren oi  the  wicked  one;  The 
enemy  that  sowed  them  is  the 
devil;  the  harvest  is  the  end  of  the 
world;  and  the  reapers  are  the  an- 
gels. As  therefore  the  tares  are 
gathered  and  burned  in  the  fire; 
so  shall  it  be  in  the  end  of  this 
world.  The  Son  of  man  phall  send 
forth  his  angels,  and  they  shall 
gather  out  of  his  kingdom  all 
things  that  oflend,  and  them  which 
do  iniquity;  And  shall  cast  them 
into  a  furnace  of  fire:  there  shall 
be  wailing  and  gnashing  of  teeth. 
Then  shall  the  righteous  shine 
forth  as  the  sun  in  the  kingdom  of 
their  Father.  Who  hath  ears  to 
hear,  let  him  hear. 

Mark  iv,  26-29.  And  he  said.  So 
is  the  kingdom  of  God,  as  if  a  man 
should  cast  seed  into  the  ground; 
And  should  sleep,  and  rise  night 
and  day,  and  the  seed  should 
spring  and  grow  up,  he  knoweth 
not  how.  For  the  earth  bringeth 
forth  fruit  of  herself;  first  the 
blade,  then  the  ear,  after  that  the 
full  corn  in  the  ear.  But  when 
the  fruit  is  brought  forth,  immed- 
iately he  putteth  in  the  sickle, 
because  the  harvest  is  come. 

Liike  X,  2.  Therefore  said  he  un- 
to them.  The  harvest  truly  zs  great, 
but  the  labourers  are  few:  pray  ye 
therefore  the  Lord  of  the  harvest, 
that  he  would  send  forth  labourers 
into  his  harvest. 

John  iv.  35-38.  Say  not  ye.  There 
are  yet  four  months,  and  then 
Cometh  harvest?  behold,  I  say  un- 
to you,  Lift  up  your  eyes,  and 
look  on  the  fields;  for  they  are 
white  already  to  harvest.  And 
he  that  reapeth  receiveth  wages, 
and  gathereth  fruit  unto  life  eter- 
nal: that  both  he  that  saweth  and 
he  that  reapeth  may  rejoice  to- 
gether. And  herein  is  that  saying 
true.  One  soweth,  and  another 
reapeth.  I  sent  you  to  reap  that 
whereon  ye  bestowed  no  labour: 
other  men  laboured,  and  ye  are 
entered  into  their  labours. 

1  (^or.  ix,  11.  If  we  have  sown 
unto  you  spiritual  things,  is  it  a 
great  thing  if  we  shall  reap  your 
carnal  things? 

James  v,  4.  Behold,  the  hire  of 


the  labourers  who  have  reaped 
down  your  fields,  which  is  of  you 
kept  back  by  fraud,  crieth:  and 
the  cries  of  them  which  have 
reaped  are  entered  into  the  ears 
of  the  Lord  of  Sabaoth. 

James  v,  7.  Be  patient  therefore, 
brethren,  unto  the  coming  of  the 
Lord.  Behold,  the  husbandman 
waiteth  for  the  precious  fruit  of 
the  earth,  and  hath  long  patience 
for  it,  until  he  receive  the  early 
and  latter  rain. 

Mv.  xiv.  14-16.  And  I  looked,

on the  cloud  one  sat  like  unto  the 
Son  of  man,  having  on  his  head  a 
golden  crown,  and  in  his  hand  a 
sharp  sickle.  And  another  angel 
came  out  of  the  temple,  crying 
with  a  loud  voice  to  him  that  sat 
on  the  cloud.  Thrust  in  thy  sickle, 
and  reap:  for  the  time  is  come  for 
thee  to  reap;  for  the  harvest  of  the 
earth  is  ripe.  And  he  that  sat  on 
the  cloud  thrust  in  his  sickle  on

Lev.  xlx,  9.  And  when  ye  reap 
the  harvest  of  your  land,  thou 
Shalt  not  wholly  reap  the  corners 
of  thy  field,  neither  shalt  thou 
gather  the  gleanings  of  thy  har-

the  harvest  of  your  land,  thou 
Shalt  not  make  clean  riddance  of

reapest,  neither  shalt  thou  gather

test  down  thine  harvest  in  thy

fetch  it:  it  shall  be  for  the  stranger,

may  bless  thee  in  all  the  work  of

i?Mfft  11,1-3,5-9.  And  Naomi  had  a 
kinsman  ofher  husband's,  a  mighty 
man  of  wealth,  of  the  family  of 
Elimelech;  and  his  name  iras 
Boaz.  And  Ituth  the  Moabitess 
said  unto  Naomi,  Let  me  now  go 
to  the  field,  and  glean  cars  of  corn 
after  fiim  in  whose  sight  I  shall 
find  grace.  And  she  said  unto 
hor,  iio,  my  daughter.  And  she 
went,  and  came,  and  gleaned  in 
the  lield  alter  the  reapers:  and  her 
hap  was  to  light  on  a  part  of  the 


field  Monging  tinto  Bonz,  who 

was  of  llio  kindred  of  Eliinelech. 
Then  said  Boaz  unto  his  servant 
that  was  set  over  the  reapers, 
Whose  dujusel  is  this?  And  the 
servant  that  was  set  over  the 
reapers  answered  and  said,  It  is 
the  Moabitish  damsel  that  came 
back  with  Naomi  out  of  the  coun- 
try of  Moab:  And  she  said,  I  pray 
vou,  let  me  glean  and  gather  after 
the  reapers  among  the  sheaves:  so 
she  came,  and  hath  continued  even 
from  the  morning  until  now,  that 
she  tarried  a  httle  In  the  house. 
Then  said  Boaz  unto  Ruth,  near- 
est thou  not,  my  daughter?  Go 
not  to  glean  In  another  field, 
neither  go  from  hence,  but  abide 
licre  fast  by  my  maidens:  Let  thine 
eyes  be  on  the  field  that  they  do 
reap,  and  go  thou  after  them:  have 
I  not  charged  the  young  men  that 
they  shall  not  touch  thee?  and 
when  thou  art  atliirst,  go  unto  the 
vessels,  and  drink  of  that  which 
the  young  men  have  drawn. 

Ruth  ii,  14-19.  And  Boaz  said 
unto  her.  At  mealtime  come  thou 
Iiither,  and  eat  of  the  bread,  and 
dip  thy  morsel  in  the  vinegar. 
And  she  sat  beside  the  reapers: 
and  he  reached  her  parched  corn, 
and  she  did  eat,  and  was  sufiiced, 
and  left.  And  when  she  was  risen 
up  to  glean,  Boaz  commanded  his 
young  men,  saying,  Let  her  glean 
even  among  the  sheaves,  and  re- 
proach her  not:  And  let  fall  also 
some  of  the  handfuls  of  purpose 
for  her,  and  leave  them,  that  she 
may  glean  them,  and  rebuke  her 
not.  So  she  gleaned  in  the  field 
until  even,  and  beat  out  that,  she 
had  gleaned:  and  It  was  about  an 
ephah  of  bailey.  And  she  took  it 
up,  and  went  into  the  city:  and  her 
mother  m  law  saw  what  she  had 
gleaned:  and  she  brought  forth, 
and  gave  to  her  that  she  had  re- 
served after  she  was  sufiiced. 
And  her  mother  in  law  said  unto 
her,  Where  hast  thou  gleaned  to 
day?  and  where  wroughtest  thou? 
blessed  bo  he  that  did  take 
knowledge  of  thee.  And  she 
shewed  her  mother  in  law  with 
whom  she  had  wrought,  and  said. 
The  man's  name  with  whom  I 
wrought  to  day  is  Boaz. 

Eitth  il,  21-23.  And  Ruth  the 
Moabitess  said.  He  said  unto  me 
also,  Thou  Shalt  keep  fast  by  my 
young  men,  until  they  have  ended 
all  my  harvest.  And  Naomi  said 
luiti)  Ruth  her  daughter  in  law.  It 
is  good,  my  daughter,  that  thou 
go  out  with  his  maidens,  that  they 
lucet  thee  not  in  any  other  field. 
So  she  kept  fast  by  tlie  maidens  of 
Boaz  to  glean  unto  the  end  <jf  bar- 
ley harvest  and  of  wheat  harvest; 
and  dwelt  with  her  mother  in 
law.

Go  ye,  get  you  straw  where  you 
can  find  it:  yet  not  ought  of  your 
work  shall  be  diminished.  So  the 
people  were  scattered  abroad 
throughout  all  the  land  of  Egypt 
to  gather  stubble  Instead  of  straw.

angel  of  the  Lord  commanded 
Gad  to  say  to  David,  that  David 
should  go  up,  and  set  up  an  altar 
unto  the  Loed  in  the  threshing- 
floor  of  Ornali  the  Jebusite.  And 
David  w^ent  up  at  the  saying  of 
Gad,  which  he  spake  in  the  name 
of  the  Lord.  And  Oman  turned 
back,  and  saw  the  angel;  and  his 
four  sons  withhiin  hid  themselves. 
Now  Oman  was  tlireshing  wheat. 
And  as  David  came  to  Oman, 
Oman  looked  and  saw  David,  and 
went  out  of  thethresliingnoor,and 
bowed  himself  to  David  with  his 
tace  to  the  ground.  Then  David 
said  to  Ornan,  Grant  me  the  place 
of  this  threshingfloor,  that  I  may 
build  an  altar  therein  unto  the 
Lord:  thou  shall  grant  it  me  for 
the  full  price:  that  the  plague  may 
be  stayed  from  the  people.  And 
Ornan  said  unto  David,  Take  it  to 
thee,  and  let  my  lord  the  king  do 
that  iohich  is  good  in  his  eyes:  lo, 
I  give  thee  the  oxen  also  for  burnt 
offerings,  and  the  threshing  in- 
struments for  wood,  and  the  wheat 
for  the  meat  offering;  I  give  it  all. 
And  king  David  said  to  Ornan, 
7 


Nay;  but  I  will  verily  buy  It  for 
the  full  price:  for  I  will  not  take 
that  which  is  thine  for  the  Lord, 
nor  offer  burnt  offerings  without 
cost.  So  David  gave  to  Ornan  for 
the  place  six  hundred  shekels  of 
gold  by  weight. 

Isa.  xxviii,  27-29.  For  the 
fitches  are  not  threshed  with  a 
threshing  instrument,  neither  is  a 
cart  wheel  turned  about  upon  the 
cummin;  but  the  fitches  are  beaten 
out  with  a  staff,  and  the  cummin 
with  a  rod.  Bread  corn  is  bruised; 
because  he  will  not  ever  be 
threshing  it,  nor  break  it  loith  the 
wlieel  of  his  cart,  nor  bruise  it 
icith  his  horsemen.  This  also

titude of  thy  strangers  shall  be

thee  a  new  sharp  threshing  instru- 
ment having  teeth:  thou  shalt

them  small,  and  shalt  make  the

thereof  wild  gourds  his  lap  full, 
and  came  and  shred  them  into  the 
pot  of  pottage:  for  they  knew  them 
not. 

HEATH. 

Jer.  xvii,  6.  For  he  shall  be  like 
the  heath  in  the  desert,  and  shall 
not  see  when  good  cometh;  but 
shall  inhabit  the  parched  places 
in  the  wilderness,  in  a  salt  land 
and  not  inliabited. 

LENTILES. 
Gen.  XXV,  34.  Then  Jacob  gave 
Esau  bread  and  pottage  of  len- 
tiles;  and  he  did  eat  and  drink, 
and  rose  up,  and  went  his  way: 
thus  Esau  despised  Jiis  birthright. 

MANDRAKES. 
Gen.  XXX,  14.  And  Reuben  went 
In  the  days  of  wheat  harvest,  and 
found  mandrakes  in  the  field,  and 
brought  them  unto  his  mother 
Leah.  Then  Rachel  said  to  Leah, 
Give  me,  I  pray  thee,  of  thy  son's 
mandrakes. 

Song  of  Solomon  vii,  13.  The 
mandrakes  give  a  smell,  and  at 
our  gates  are  all  manner  of  pleas- 
ant fmits,  new  and  old,  which  I 
have  laid  up  for  thee,  O  my  be- 
loved.

EzeJi.  iv, 9.  Take  thou  also  unto 
thee  wheat,  and  barley,  and  beans, 
and  lentiles,  and  millet,  and  fitches, 
and  put  them  in  one  vessel,  and 
make  thee  bread  tliereof,  accord- 
ing to  the  number  of  the  days  that 
thou  Shalt  lie  upon  thy  side,  three 
hundred  and  ninety  days  shalt 
thou  eat  thereof. 

REEDS. 

Job  xl,  21.  He  lieth  under  the 
shady  trees  in  the  covert  of  the 
reed,  and  fens. 

Isa.  xix,  6.  And  they  shall  turn 
the  rivers  far  away;  and  the 
brooks  of  defence  shall  be  emptied 
and  dried  up:  the  reeds  and  flags 
shall  wither.

Ex.  ix,  32.  But  the  -wheat  and 
the  rye  were  not  smitten:  for  they 
toere  not  grown  up.

FAILURE  OF  CROPS. 
OF  GRASS. 

1  Kings  xviii,  5.  And  Ahab  said 
unto  Obadiah,  Go  into  the  land, 
unto  all  fountains  of  water,  and 
unto  all  brooks:  peradventure  we 
may  find  grass  to  save  the  horses 
and  mules  alive,  that  we  lose  not 
all  the  beasts. 

Jer.  xiv,  5,  6.  Yea,  the  hind  also 
calved  in  the  field,  and  forsook  it, 
because  there  was  no  grass.  And 
the  wild  asses  did  stand  in  the 
high  places,  they  snulTcd  up  the 
wind  like  dragons;  their  eyes  did 
fail,  because  there  was  no  grass. 

Joel  i,  18.  How  do  the  beasts 
groan!  the  herds  of  cattle  are  per- 
plexed, because  they  have  no  pas- 
ture ;  yea.  the  flocks  of  Sheep  are 
made  desolate. 

OP  GRAINS. 
Deut.  xxviii,  as,  .34.  The  fruit  ot 

thy  land,  and  all  thy  labours,  shall 
a  nation  which  thou  knoAvest  not 
eat  up;  and  thou  shalt  be  only 
oppressed  and  crushed  alway: 
So  that  thou  shalt  be  mad  for  the 
sight  of  thine  eyes  which  thou 
Shalt  see. 

Dent,  xxviii,  38.  Thou  shalt  carry 
much  seed  out  into  the  field,  and 
Shalt  gather  but  little  in;  for  the 
locust  shall  consume  it. 

Isa.  iii,  1.  For,  behold,  the  Lord, 
the  Lord  of  hosts,  doth  take  away 
from  Jerusalem  and  from  Judah 


the  stay  and  the  stafi!",  the  whole 
stay  of  bread,  and  the  whole  stay 
of  water. 

Isa.  vii,  23-25.  And  it  shall  come 
to  pass  in  that  day,  tliat  every 
place  shall  be,  where  there  were 
a  thousand  vines  at  a  thousand 
silverlings,  it  shall  even  bo  for 
briers  and  thorns.  With  arrows 
and  with  bows  shall  vien  come 
thither,  because  all  the  land  shall 
become  briers  and  thoi-ns.  And 
on  all  hills  that  shall  be  digged 
with  the  mattock,  there  shall  not 
come  thither  the  fear  of  briers  and 
thorns:  but  it  shall  be  for  the 
sending  forth  of  oxen,  and  for  the 
treading  of  lesser  cattle. 

Isa.  XV,  6,  7.  For  the  waters  of 
Nimrim  shall  be  desolate:  for  the 
hay  is  withered  away,  the  grass 
faileth,  there  is  no  green  thing. 
Therefore  the  abundance  they 
have  gotten,  and  that  which  they 
have  laid  up,  shall  they  carry 
away  to  the  brook  of  the  willoAva. 

Isa.  xvii,  10,  11.  Because  thou 
hast  forgotten  the  God  of  thy  sal- 
vation, and  hast  not  been  mindful 
of  the  rock  of  thy  strength,  there- 
fore shalt  thou  plant  pleasant 
plants,  and  shalt  set  it  with  strange 
slips:  In  the  day  shalt  thou  make 
thy  plant  to  grow,  and  in  the  morn- 
ing Shalt  thou  make  thy  seed  to 
flourish:  but  the  harvest  shall  be 
a  heap  in  the  day  of  grief  and  of 
desperate  sorrow. 

Isa.  11, 19.  These  two  things  are 
come  unto  thee;  who  shall  be  sorry 
for  thee?  desolation,  and  destruc- 
tion, and  the  famine,  and  the 
sword:  by  whom  shall  I  comfort 
thee? 

Jer.  xii,  13.  They  have  so-^ra 
wheat,  but  shall  reap  thorns:  they 
have  put  themselves  to  pain,  but 
sliall  not  profit:  and  they  shall  bo 
ashamed  of  your  revenues  because 
of  the  fierce  anger  of  the  Lokd. 

Ezcli.  xiv,  13.  Son  of  man,  when 
the  land  sinneth  against  me  by 
tresspassing  grievously,  then  will 
I  stretch  out  mine  hand  upon  it, 
and  will  break  the  staff  of  the 
b;  cad  thereof,  and  will  send  famine 
upon  it,  and  will  cut  olT  man  and 
beast  from  it: 

Ezek.  xxvi,  6.  And  her  daugh- 
ters Avhich  are  in  the  field  shall  be 
slain  by  the  sword;  and  they  shall 
know  that  I  am  the  IjOrd. 

Hosea  viii,  7.  For  they  have  sown 
the  -wind,  and  they  shall  roup 
the  whirlwind:  it  hath  no  stalk: 
the  bud  shall  yield  no  meal:  if  so 
be  it  yield,  the  strangers  shall 
swallow  it  up. 

Hosea  Ix,  2.  The  floor  and  the 
winepress  shall  not  feed  them,  and

the  God  of  hosts,  the  Lord,  saith 
thus;  Wailing  shall  be  in  all  streets;

and  they  shall  say  in  all  the  high- 
ways, Alas!  alas!  and  they  shall 
call  the  husbandman  to  mourning', 
and  such  as  are  skilful  of  lament- 
ation to  wailing. 

Amos  viii,  11-14.  Behold,  the 
days  come,  saith  the  Lord  God, 
that  I  will  send  a  famine  in  the 
land,  not  a  famine  of  bread,  nor 
a  thirst  for  water,  but  of  hearing 
the  words  of  the  Loed:  And  they 
shall  wander  from  sea  to  sea,  and 
from  the  north  even  to  the  east, 
they  shall  run  to  and  fro  to  seek 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  and  shall 
not  find  it.  In  that  day  shall  the 
fair  virgins  and  young  men  faint 
for  thirst.  They  that  swear  by  the 
sin  of  Samaria,  and  say,  Thy  God, 
O  Dan,  liveth;  and,  The  manner 
of  Beershcba  liveth;  even  they 
shall  fall,  and  never  rise  up  again. 

Joel  i,  10, 11.  The  field  is  wasted, 
the  land  mourneth;  for  the  corn  is 
wasted:  the  new  wine  is  dried  up, 
the  oil  languisheth.  Be  ye  asham- 
ed, O  ye  husbandmen;  howl,  O  ye 
vinedressers,  for  the  wheat  and 
for  the  barley;  because  the  harvest 
of  the  field  is  perished. 

Joel  i,  17.  The  seed  is  rotten 
under  their  clods,  the  garnci's  are 
laid  desolate,  the  barns  are  broken 
down;  for  the  corn  is  withered. 

Micah  vi,  15.  Thou  shalt  sow, 
but  thou  Shalt  not  reap;  thou  shalt 
tread  the  olives,  but  thou  shalt 
not  anohit  thee  with  oil;  and  sweet 
wine,  but  slialt  not  drink  wine. 

Zepli.  ii,  11.  The  Lord  loill  be 
terrible  unto  them:  for  he  will 
famish  all  the  gocis  of  the  earth; 
and  men  shall  worship  him,  every 
'one  from  his  place,  even  all  the 
isles  of  the  heathen. 

Eev.  vi,  5,  6.  And  when  he  had 
opened  the  third  seal,  I  heard  the 
third  beast  say,  Come  and  see. 
And  I  beheld,  and  lo  a  black  horse; 
and  he  that  sat  on  him  had  a  pair 
of  balances  in  his  hand.  And  I 
heard  a  voice  in  the  midst  of  the 
four  beasts  say,  A  measure  of 
wheat  for  a  penny,  and  three 
measures  of  barley  for  a  penny; 
and  see  thou  hurt  not  the  oil  and 
the  wine. 

PRESSUEE  OF  FAMINE. 

Lev.  xxvi,  26-29.  And  when  I 
have  broken  the  staff  of  your 
bread,  ten  women  shall  bake  your 
bread  in  one  oven,  and  they  shall 
deliver  you  your  bread  again  by 
weight:  and  ye  shall  eat,  and  not 
be  satisfied.  And  if  ye  will  not 
for  all  this  hearken  unto  me,  but 
walk  contrary  unto  me;  Then  I 
will  walk  contrary  rmto  you  also 
in  fury;  and  I,  even  I,  will  chastise 
you  seven  times  for  your  sins. 
And  ye  shall  eat  the  flesh  of  y(nir 
scms,  an<l  the  llosh  of  your  daugh- 
ters shall  ye  eat. 

Deut.  xxxii,  24.   They  sliall  be 


burnt  with  hunger  and  devoured 
with  bin-ning  heat,  and  with  bitter 
destruction:  I  will  also  send  the 
teeth  of  beasts  up(m  them,  with 
the  poison  of  serpents  of  the  dust. 

2  KiiiffS  vi,  24,  2G-29.  And  it 
came  to  pass  after  this,  that  Ben- 
hadad  king  of  Syria  gathered 
all  his  host,  and  went  up,  and 
besieged  Samaria.  And  as  the 
king  of  Israel  was  passing  by  up- 
on the  wall,  there  cried  a  woman 
unto  him,  saying,  Help,  my  lord, 
O  king.  And  he  said,  If  the  Lord 
do  not  help  thee,  whence  shall  I 
help  thee?  out  of  the  barnlloor, 
or  out  of  the  Avinepress?  And  the 
king  said  unto  her,  What  aileth 
thee?  And  she  answered,  This 
woman  .said  unto  me.  Give  thy 
son,  that  we  may  eat  liim  to  day, 
and  we  will  eat  my  son  to  morrow. 
So  we  boiled  my  son,  and  did  eat 
him:  and  I  said  unto  her  on  the 
next  day,  Give  thy  gon,  that  we 
may  eat  him:  and  she  hath  hid 
her  son. 

2  Ki7i.  vli,  3, 4.  And  there  were 
four  leprous  men  at  the  entering 
in  of  the  gate:  and  they  said  one 
to  another.  Why  sit  we  here  until 
we  die?  If  we  say,  we  will  enter 
into  the  city,  then  the  famine  is  in 
the  city,  and  we  shall  die  there: 
and  if  we  sit  still  here,  we  die 
also.  Now  therefore  come,  and 
let  us  li^.ll  unto  the  host  of  the  Sy- 
rians: if  they  save  us  alive,  we 
shall  live;  and  if  they  kill  us,  we 
shall  but  die. 

Ps.  cv,  16.  Moreover  he  called 
for  a  famine  upon  the  land:  he 
brake  the  whole  staff  of  bread. 

Lam.  i,  6.  And  from  the  daugh- 
ter of  Zion  all  her  beauty  is  de- 
parted :  her  princes  are  become 
like  harts  that  find  no  pasture, 
and  they  are  gone  without 
strength  before  the  pursuer. 

Lam.  i.  11.  All  her  people  sigh, 
they  seek  bread;  they  have  given 
their  pleasant  things  for  meat  to 
reliOA'e  the  soul:  see,  O  Lord,  and 
consider;  for  I  am  become  vile. 

Lam.ii,  11, 12.  Mine  eyes  do  fail, 
with  tears,my  bowels  are  troubled, 
my  liver  is  poured  upon  the  earth, 
for  the  destruction  of  the  daughter 
of  my  people;  because  the  children 
and  the  sucklings  swoon  in  the 
streets  of  the  city.  They  say  to 
their  mothers,  Where  is  corn  and 
wine?  when  they  swooned  as  the 
wounded  in  the  streets  of  the  city, 
when  their  soul  was  poured  out 
into  their  mothers'  bosom. 

Lam.  iv,  3-5.  Ev(m  the  sea 
monsters  draw  out  the  breast, 
they  give  suck  to  their  young 
ones:  the  daughter  of  my  people 
is  become  cruel,  like  the  ostriches 
In  the  Avild(>rneps.  The  tongue  of 
the  sucking  child  cloaveth  to  the 
roof  of  his  mouth  for  thirst:  the 
young  children  ask  bread,  a7id  no 
10 


man  hreaketh  it  unto  them.  They 

that  did  feed  delicately  are  deso- 
late in  the  streets:  they  that  were 
brought  up  In  scarlet  embrace 
dunghills. 

iMm.  iv,  7-10.  Her  Nazarites 
were  purer  than  snow,  they  were 
whiter  than  milk,  they  were  more 
ruddy  in  body  than  rubies,  their 
polishing  teas  of  sapphire:  Their 
visage  is  blacker  than  a  coal;  they 
are  not  known  in  the  streets:  their 
skin  cleaveth  to  their  bones;  it  is 
withered,  it  is  become  like  a  stick. 
The?/  that  be  slain  with  the  sword 
are  better  than  they  that  be  slain 
with  hunger:  for  these  pine  away, 
stricken  through  for  tcaiit  of  the 
fruits  of  the  field.  The  hands  of 
the  pitiful  women  have  sodden 
their  own  childi-en:  they  were 
their  meat  in  the  destruction  of 
the  daughter  of  my  people. 

Lam.  V,  10.  Our  skin  was  black 
lil;  ^  an  oven  because  of  the  ter- 
rible famine. 

LzeJc.  iv,  16,  17.  Moreover  he 
said  unto  me,  Son  of  man,  behold, 
I  Avill  break  the  staff  of  bread  in 
Jerusalem:  and  they  shall  eat 
bread  by  weight,  and  with  care; 
and  they  shall  drink  water  by 
measui'e,  and  with  astonishment: 
That  they  may  want  bread  and 
water,  and  be  astonied  one  with 
another,  and  consume  away  for 
their  iniquity. 

Ezek.  xii,  18,  19.  Son  of  man, 
eat  thy  bread  with  quaking,  and 
drink  thy  water  with  trembling 
autl  with  carefulness;  And  say 
unto  the  people  of  the  land,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  of  the  inhabi- 
tants of  Jerusalem,  and  of  the 
laud  of  Israel;  They  shall  eat  their 
bread  Avith  carefulness,  and  drink 
their  water  with  astonishment, 
that  her  land  may  be  desolate 
from  all  that  is  therein,  because 
of  the  violence  of  all  them  that 
dwell  therein. 

Joel  i,  8,  9.  Lament  like  a  vir- 
gin girded  with  sackcloth  for  the 
husband  of  her  youth.  The  meat 
offering  and  the  drink  offering  is 
cut  off  from  the  house  of  the 
Lord?  the  priests,  the  Lord's  min- 
isters, mourn. 

Joel  i,  13-16, 19,  20.  Come,  lie  all 
night  in  sackcloth,  ye  ministers 
of  iny  God:  for  the  meat  offering 
and  the  drink  oflcriiig  is  with- 
liolden  from  the  house  of  your 
God.  Sanctify  ye  a  fast,  call  a 
solemn  assen^bly,  gather  the  el- 
ders atid  all  the  inhabitants  of 
the  land  into  the  house  of  the 
Lord  your  God,  and  cry  unto  the 
Lord,  Alas  for  the  day!  for  the 
day  of  the  Lord  is  at  hand,  and 
as  a  destruction  from  the  Al- 
mighty shall  It  come.  Is  not  the 
meat  cut  off  before  our  eyes,  yea, 
joy  and  gladness  from  the  house 
of   our  God?     O  Lord,  to  thee 


AGRICULTURE 


will  I  cry:  for  the  Are  hath  de- 
voured the  pastures  of  the  wil- 
derness, and  the  flame  hath 
burned  all  the  trees  of  the  field. 
The  beasts  of  the  field  cry  also 
unto  thee:  for  the  rivers  of  waters 
eve  dried  up,  and  the  fire  hath 
devoured  the  pastures  of  the  wil- 

Amos  iv,  6.  And  I  also  have 
viven  you  cleanness  of  teeth  in  all 
your  cities,  and  want  of  bread  in 
all  your  places:  yet  have  ye  not 
returned    unto    me,    saith    the

INSTANCES  OF  FAMINE. 

IN  THE  DAYS  OF  ABRAHAM 

Gen.  xii,  10.  And  there  was  a 
famine  in  the  land:  and  Abrara 
went  down  into  Egypt  to  sojourn 
there;  for  the  famine  was  grievous 
in  the  land. 

OP  ISAAC. 
Gen.  xxvi,  1.  And  there  was  a 
fomine  in  the  Uind,  beside  the 
first  famine  that  was  in  the  days 
of  Abraham.  And  Isaac  went 
unto  Abimelech  king  of  the  Philis- 
tines unto  Gerar. 

OF  JOSEPH. 

Gen.  xli,  28-32.  This  is  thething 
which  I  have  spoken  unto  Pha- 
raoh: What  God  is  about  to  do  he 
sheweth  unto  Pharaoh.  Behold, 
there  come  seven  years  of  great 
plenty  throughout  all  the  land  of 
Egypt:  And  there  shall  arise  after 
them  seven  years  of  famine;  and 
all  the  plenty  shall  be  forgotten  in 
the  land  of  Egypt;  and  the  famine 
shall  consume  the  land;  And  the 
plenty  shall  not  be  known  in  the 
land  by  reason  of  that  famine 
following;  for  it  shall  be  very 
grievous.  And  for  that  the  dream 
was  doubled  unto  Pharoah  twice; 
it  is  because  the  thing  is  estab- 
lished by  God,  and  God  will 
shortly  bring  it  to  pass. 

Gen.  xli,  53-56.  And  the  seven 
years  of  plenteousness,  that  was  in 
the  land  of  Egypt,  were  ended. 
And  the  seven  years  of  death  be- 
gan to  come,  according  as  Joseph 
had  said:  and  the  dearth  was  in 
all  lands;  but  in  all  the  land  of 
Egj-pt  there  was  bread.  And 
wlien  all  the  land  of  Egypt  wa<5 
famished,  the  people  cried  to 
Pharaoh  for  bread:  and  Pharaoh 
said  unto  all  the  Egyptians,  Go 
unto  Joseph;  what  he  saith  to 
you,  do.  And  the  famine  was  over 
all  the  face  of  the  earth:  And 
Josepli  opened  all  tlie  storehouses, 
and  sold  unto  the  Egvptians;  and 
the  famine  waxed  sore  in  the  land 
of  Egypt. 

Gen.  xlvii,  13-20.  And  there  ims 
no  bread  in  all  the  land;  for  the 
lamine  was  very  sore,  so  that  the 
land  of  Egypt  and  all  the  land  of 


Canaan  fainted  by  reason  of  the 
famine.  And  Joseph  gathered 
up  all  the  m(mey  that  was  found 
in  the  land  of  Egypt,  and  in  the 
land  of  Canaan,  for  the  corn  which 
they  bought:  and  Joseph  brought 
the  money  into  Pharaoh's  house. 
And  when  money  failed  in  the 
land  of  Egypt,  and  in  the  land  of 
Canaan,  all  the  Egyptians  came 
unto  Joseph,  and  said.  Give  us 
bread:  for  why  should  we  die  in 
thy  presence?  for  the  money  fail- 
cth.  And  Joseph  said.  Give  your 
cattle;  and  I  will  give  you  for 
your  cattle,  if  money  fail.  And 
they  brought  their  cattle  unto 
Joseph:  and  Joseph  gave  them 
bread  in  exchange  for  horses,  and 
for  the  flocks,  and  for  the  cattle  of 
the  herds,  and  for  the  asses:  and 
he  fed  them  with  bread  for  all 
their  cattle  for  that  year.  When 
that  year  was  ended,  they  came 
unto  him  the  second  year,  and 
said  unto  him,  We  will  not  hide  it 
from  my  lord,  how  that  our  money 
is  spent;  my  lord  also  hath  our 
herds  of  cattle;  there  is  not  ought 
left  in  the  sight  of  my  lord,  but 
our  bodies,  and  our  lands:  Where- 
fore shall  we  die  before  thine 
eyes,  both  we  and  our  land?  buy 
us  and  our  land  for  bread,  and  we 
and  our  land  will  be  servants  unto 
Pharaoh:  and  give  us  seed,  that

MEANS   AGAINST 

FAMINE. 
Gen.  xli,  34-37.  Let  Pharaoh  do 

this,  and  let  him  appoint  officers 
over  the  land,  and  take  up  the 
fifth  part  of  the  land  of  Egypt  in 
the  seven  plenteous  years.  And 
let  them  gather  all  the  food  of 
those  good  years  that  come,  and 
lay  up  corn  under  the  hand  of 
Pharaoh,  and  let  them  keep  food 
in  the  cities.  And  that  food  shall 
bo  for  store  to  the  land  against 
the  seven  years  of  famine,  wliich 
shall  be  in  tlie  land  of  Egypt;  that 
the  land  perish  not  through  the 
famine.  And  the  thing  was  good 
in  the  eyes  of  Pharaoh,  and  in  the 
eyes  of  all  his  servants. 

Gen.yXx  48, 49, 57.  And  he  gather 
ed  up  all  the  food  of  the  seven 
years,  which  were  in  the  land  of 
Egypt,  and  laid  up  the  food  in  tho 
cities:  the  food  of  the  field,  which 
was  round  about  every  city,  laid 
he  up  in  the  same.  And  Joseph 
gathered  corn  as  the  sand  of  the 
sea,  very  much,  until  he  left  num 
bering;  for  it  was  without  number 
And  all  countries  came  into 
Egypt  to  Joseph  for  to  buy  corn; 
because  that  the  famine  was  80 
sore  in  all  lands. 

Oen.  xlii,  1-5.  Now  when  Jacob 
saw  that  there  was  corn  in  Egypt, 
Jacob  said  unto  his  sons.  Why  do 
ye  look  one  upon  auother?   And 


he  said.  Behold,  I  have  heard  that 
there  is  corn  in  Egypt:  get  you 
down  thither,  and  buy  for  us  from 
thence;  that  Ave  may  live,  and  not 
die.  And  Joseph's  ten  brethren 
went  down  to  buy  com  in  Egypt. 
But  Benjamin,  Joseph's  brother, 
Jacob  sent  not  with  his  brethren; 
for  he  said,  Lest  perad venture 
mischief  befall  him.  And  the 
sons  of  Israel  came  to  buy  corn 
among  those  that  came:  for  the 
famine  was  in  the  land  of  Canaan. 

Gen.  xliii,  1-5.  And  the  famine 
was  sore  in  the  land.  And  it  came

out  of  Egypt,  their  father  said  un- 
to them.  Go  again,  buy  us  a  little 
food.  And  Judah  spake  unto  him, 
sajing,  The  man  did  solemnly 
protest  unto  us,  saying,  Ye  shall 
not  see  my  face,  except  your 
brother  be  with  you.  If  thou  wilt 
send  our  brother  with  us,  we  will 
go  down  and  buy  thee  food:  But  if 
thou  wilt  not  send  ?U7n,  we  will 
not  go  down:  for  the  man  said  un- 
to us.  Ye  shall  not  see  my  face, 
except  your  brother  be  with  you. 

Gen.  xliv,  25,  26.  And  our  father 
said.  Go  again  and  buy  us  a  little 
food.  And  we  said.  We  cannot  go 
down:  if  our  youngest  brother  be 
with  us,  then  will  we  go  down: 
for  we  may  not  see  the  man's  face, 
except  our  youngest  brother  be 
with  us. 

Prov.  xi,  26.  He  that  withhold-

Acts  xii,  20.  And  Herod  was 
highly  displeased  with  them  of 
Tyre  and  Sidon:  but  they  came

ing made  P.lastus  the  king's 
chamberlain  their  friend,  desired 
peace;  because  their  country  was 
nourished  by  the  king's  country.

and  hast  great  power:  thou  shalt 
not  have  one  lot  onl?/:  But  the 
mountain  shall  be  thine;  for  it  is  a

hath  life,  and  fowl  that  may  fly 
above  the  earth  in  the  open  fir-

created  great  whales,  and  every 
living  creature  that  moveth, 
which  the  waters  brought  forth 
abundantly,  after  thciir  kind,  and 
every  ^vinged  fowl  after  his  kind: 
and  God  saw  that  it  was  good. 
And  God  blessed  them,  saying, 
Be  fruitful,  and  multiply,  and  fill 
the  waters  in  the  seas,  and  let 
fowl  multiply  in  the  earth.  And 
the  evening  and  the  morning 
were  the  fifth  day.  And  God 
said,  Let  the  earth  bring  forth  the 
living  creature  after  his  kind, 
cattle,  and  creeping  thing,  and

the  beast  of  the  earth  after  his 
kind,  and  cattle  after  their  kind,

would  call  them:  and  whatsoever 
Adam  called  every  living  crea^ 
ture,  that  teas  the  name  thereof. 
And  Adam  gave  names  to  all 
cattle,  and  to  the  fowl  of  the  air, 
and  to  eveiy  beast  of  the  field;  but 
for  Adam  there  was  not  found  an

and  of  cattle  after  their  kind,  of 
every  creeping  thing  of  the  earth

Isa.  Ivi,  10,  11.  His  watchman 
are  blind:  they  are  all  ignorant, 
they  are  all  dumb  dogs,  th%  can- 
not bark;  sleeping,  lying  down, 
loving  to  slumber.  Yea,  they  are 
greedy  dogs  which  ca§  never  have 
enough,  and  they  are  shepherds 
tluit  cannot  understand:  they  all 
look  to  their  own  way,  every  one 
for  his  gain,  from  his  quarter. 

Isa.  Ixvi,  3.  He  that  killeth  an 
ox  is  as  if  he  slew  a  man;  he  that 
sacriflceth  a  lamb,  as  if  he  cut  off 
a  dog's  neck.  *  *  » 

Jer.  XV,  8.  And  I  will  appoint 
over  them  for  kinds,  saith  the 
Lord:  the  sword  to  slay,  and  the 
dogs  to  tear,  and  the  fowls  of  the 
heaven,  and  the  beasts  of  the 
earth,  to  devour  and  destroy. 

Matth.  vii,  6.  Give  not  that  which 
Is  holy  unto  the  dogs,  neither  cast 
ye  your  pearls  before  swine,  lest 
they  trample  them  under  their 
feet,  and  turn  again  and  rend  you. 

Matth.  XV,  26, 27.  But  he  answer 


ANIMALS. 


ed  and  said,  It  Is  not,  meot  to  take 
the  chiliii-en's  bread,  and  to  cast 
it  to  dogs.  And  she  said,  Trutli, 
Lord:  yet  the  do,i;s  eat  of  the 
crumhs  which  fall  from  their 
masters'  table. 

Lul-e  xvi,  21.  And  desiring  to 
1)6  fed  with  the  crumbs  which  fell 
from  the  rich  man's  table:  more- 
over the  dogs  came  and  licked 
his  sores. 

Phil,  iii,  2.  Beware  of  dogs,  be- 
ware of  evil  workers,  beware  of 
the  concision. 

Bev.  xxii,  15.  For  without  are 
dogs,  and  sorcerers,  and  whore- 
mongers, and  murderers,  and 
idolaters,  and  whosoever  ioveth 
and  maketh  a  lie. 

FOXES. 

SMALL  BUT  CUNNINO. 

Keh.  iv,  3.  Now  Tobiah  the 
Ammonite  was  by  him,  and  he 
said.  Even  that  which  they  build, 
if  a  fox  go  up,  he  shall  even  break 
down  their  stone  wall. 

Ps.  Ixiii.  10.  They  shall  fall  by 
the  sword:  they  shall  be  a  portion 
for  foxes. 

Lani.  V,  18.  Because  of  the  moun- 
tain of  Zion.  which  is  desolate, 
the  foxes  walk  upon  it, 

Ezelc.  xiii,  4.  O  Israel,  thy  pro- 
phets are  like  the  foxes  in  the 
deserts. 

Matth.  viii,  20.  And  Jesus  saith 
unto  him,  The  foxes  have  holes, 
and  the  birds  of  the  airfare  nests; 
but  the  Son  of  man  hath  not 
where  to  lay  Ids  head. 

Ltike  xiii,  32.  And  he  said  unto 
them.  Go  ye,  and  tell  that  fox, 
Behold,  I  cast  out  devils,  and  I 
do  cures  to  day  and  to  morrow, 
and  the  third  day  I  shall  be  per- 
fected.

SUDDEN  SPRING. 

(^ant.  Iv,  8.  Come  with  me  from 
Lebanon,  my  spouse,  with  me 
from  Lebanon:  look  from  the  top 
of  Amana,  from  the  top  of  Shenir 
and  Hermon,  from  the  lions'  dens, 
from  the  mountains  of  the  leo- 
pards. 

Isa.  xi,  6.  The  wolf  also  shall 
dwell  with  the  lamb,  and  the  leo- 
pard shall  lie  down  with  the  kid; 
and  the  calf  and  the  young  lion 
and  the  fatling  togetlier;  and  a 
little  child  shall  lead  them. 

Jer.  xiii,  23.  Can  the  Ethiopian 
change  his  skin,  or  the  leopard 
his  spots?  then  may  ye  also  do 
good,  that  are  accustomed  to  do 
eviL 

Dan.  vji,  6.  After  this  I  beheld, 
and  lo   another,  like  a   leopard, 


which  had  upon  the  back  of  it  four 
wings  of  a  fowl:  the  beast  had  also 
four  heads;  and  dominion  was 
given  to  it. 

Hosea  xiii,  7.  Therefore  I  will 
be  unto  them  as  a  lion:  as  a  leop- 
ard by  the  way  will  I  observe 
them. 

Hah.  i.  8.  Their  horses  also  are 
swifter  than  the  leopards,  and  are 
more  fierce  than  the  evening 
wolves:  and  their  horsemen  shall 
spread  themselves,  and  their 
horsemen  shall  come  from  far; 
they  shall  fly  as  the  eagle  that 
hasteth  to  eat. 

Bev.  xiii,  2.  And  the  beast  which 
I  saw  was  like  unto  a  leopard,  and 
his  feet  were  as  the  feet  of  a  bear, 
and  his  mouth  as  the  mouth  of  a 
lion:  and  the  dragon  gave  him  his 
power,  and  his  seat,  and  great 
authority. 


LION. 

Judges  xiv,  8.  And  after  a  time 
he  returned  to  take  her,  and  he 
turned  aside  to  see  the  carcase  of 
the  lion:  and,  behold,  there  was  a 
swarm  of  bees  and  honey  in  the 
carcase  of  the  lion. 

1  Kings  xiii,  24-26.  And  when 
he  was  gone,  a  lion  met  him  by 
the  way,  and  slew  him:  and  his 
carcase  was  cast  in  the  way,  and 
the  ass  stood  by  it,  the  lion  also 
stood  by  the  carcase.  And,  be- 
hold, men  passed  by,  and  saw  the 
carcase  cast  in  the  way,  and  the  lion 
j  standing  by  the  carcase:  and  they 
came  and  told  it  in  the  city  where 
the  old  prophet  dwelt.  And  when 
the  prophet  that  brought  him 
back  from  the  way  heard  thereof, 
he  said.  It  is  the  man  of  God,  who 
was  disobedient  unto  the  word  of 
the  Lord:  therefore  the  Lord  hath 
(^.elivered  him  unto  the  lion,  which 
hath  torn  him,  and  slain  him, 
according  to  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  which  he  spake  unto  him. 

1  Kings  xx,  33.  Then  said  he 
unto  him,  Because  thou  hast  not 
obeyed  the  voice  of  the  Lord,  be- 
hold, as  soon  as  thou  art  departed 
from  me,  a  lion  shall  slay  thee. 
And  as  soon  as  he  Avas  departed 
from  him,  a  lion  found  him,  and 
Blew  him. 

2  Kings  xvii,  25,  26.  And  so  It 
was  at  the  beginning  of  their 
dAvelling  there,  that  they  feared 
not  the  Lord:  therefore  the  Lord 
sent  lions  among  them,  which 
slew  some  of  them.  Wherefore 
they  spake  to  the  king  of  AssjTia, 
saying,  The  nations  which  thou 
hast  removed,  and  placed  in  the 
cities  of  Samaria,  know  not  the 
m.anner  of  the  God  of  the  land: 
therefore  he  hath  sent  lions  among 
them,  and,  behold,  they  slay  them, 
bocauso  they  know  not  the  man- 
ner of  the  God  of  the  land.

Its  Boldness  and  Power. 

Gen.  xlix,  9.  Judah  is  a  lion's 
whelp:  from  tlio  prey,  my  son, 
thou  art  gone  up:  he  stooped 
down,  he  couched  as  a  lion,  and 
as  an  old  lion;  who  shall  rouse  him 
up? 

Num.  xxiii,  24.  Behold,  the  peo- 
ple shall  rise  up  as  a  great  lion, 
and  lift  up  himself  as  a  young 
lion:  he  sliall  not  lie  doAvn  until  he 
eat  of  the  prey,  and  drink  the 
blood  of  the  slain. 

Num.  xxiv,  9.  He  couched,  he 
lay  down  as  a  lion,  and  as  a  great 
lion;  who  shall  stir  him  up?  Bless- 
ed is  he  that  blesseth  thee,  and 
cursed  is  he  that  curseth  thee. 

Dent,  xxxiii.  20, 22.  And  of  Gadhe 
said,  Blessed  be  he  that  enlargeth 
Gad:  he  dwelleth  as  a  lion,  and 
teareth  the  arm  with  the  crown  of 
the  head.  And  of  Dan  he  said, 
Dan  is  a  lion's  whelp:  he  shall 
leap  from  Bashan. 

2  Sam.  xvii,  10.  And  he  also 
that  is  valiant,  whose  heart  is  as 
the  heart  of  a  lion,  shall  utteily 
melt:  lor  all  Israel  knoweth  that 
thy  father  is  a  mighty  man,  and 
they  which  be  with  him  are  vali- 
ant men. 

1  Kings  vii,  29,  36.  And  on  the 
borders  that  icere  between  the 
ledges  were  lions,  oxen,  and  cheru- 
bims:  and  upon  the  ledges  there 
VMS  a  base  above:  and  beneath 
the  lions  and  oxen  ivere  certain 
additions  made  of  thin  work.  For 
on  the  plates  of  the  ledges  thereof, 
and  on  the  borders  thereof,  he 
graved  cherubims.  lions,  and  palm 
trees,  according  to  the  proportion 
of  every  one,  and  additions  round 
about. 

1  Kings  x,  19,  20.  The  throne 
had  six  steps,  and  the  top  of  the 
throne  teas  round  behind:  and 
there  icere  stays  on  either  side  on 
the  place  of  the  seat,  and  two  lions 
stood  beside  the  stays.  And 
twelve  lions  stood  there  on  the 
one  side  and  on  the  other  upon 
the  six  steps:  there  was  not  the 
like  made  in  any  kingdom. 

Job,  iv,  10,  11.  The  roaring  of 
the  lion,  and  the  voice  of  the 
fierce  lion,  and  the  teeth  of  the 
young  lions,  are  broken.  The  old 
lion  perisheth  for  lack  of  prey, 
and  the  stout  lion's  whelps  are 
scattered  abroad. 

Ps.  X,  9.  He  lieth  in  wait  secret- 
ly as  a  lion  in  his  den:  he  lieth  in 
wait  to  catch  the  poor:  he  doth 
catch  the  poor,  when  he  draweth 
him  into  his  net. 

Ps.  xvii,  12.  Like  as  a  lion  that 
is  greedy  of  his  prey,  and  as  it 
were  a  young  lion  lurking  in 
secret  places. 

Ps.  Iviii  6.  Break  their  teeth,  O 
God,  in  tbeii  mouth,  break  out  the 
great  teeth  of  the  yomig  lions,  O 
Lord.

ANIMALS.

young  lions:  yea.  they  shall  roar,

carry  it  away  safe,  and  none  shall 
deliver  it, 

Isa.  xxi,  8.  And  he  cried,  A  lion: 
My  lord,  I  stand  continually  upon 
the  Avatchtower  in  tlie  daytime, 
and  I  am  set  in  my  ward  whole 
nights. 

Isa.  xxxviii,  13,  I  reckoned  till 
morning,  that,  as  a  lion,  so  will  he 
break  all  ray  bones:  from  day  even 
to  night  wilt  thou  make  an  end  of 
me. 

Jer.  iv,  7.  The  lion  is  come  np 
from  his  thicket,  and  the  destroy- 
er of  the  Gentiles  is  on  his  way; 
he  is  gone  forth  from  his  place  to 
make  thy  land  desolate;  and  thy 
cities  shall  be  laid  waste,  without 
an  inliabitant.  • 

Jer.  xii,  8.  Mine  heritage  is  unto 
me  as  a  lion  in  the  forest;  it  crieth 
out  against  me:  therefore  have  I 
hated  it. 

Jer.  XXV,  38.  He  hath  forsaken 
his  covert,  as  the  lion:  for  their 
land  is  desolate  because  of  the 
fierceness  of  the  oppressor,  and 
because  of  his  fierce  anger. 

Jer.  xlix,  19.  Behold,  he  shall 
come  up  like  a  lion  from  the  swell- 
ing of  Jordan  against  the  habita- 
tion of  the  strong:  but  I  will  -ud- 
denly  make  him  run  away  from 
her:  and  who  is  a  chosen  man, 
that  I  may  appoint  over  her?  for 
wJio  is  like  me?  and  who  will  ap- 
point me  the  time?  and  who  is 
that  shepherd  that  will  stand  be- 
fore me? 

Jer.  li,  38.  They  shall  roar  to- 
gether like  lions:  they  shall  yell 
as  lions'  whelps. 

EzeJc.  six,  2,  3,  5,  6.  And  say. 
What  is  thy  mothei-?  A  lioness: 
she  lay  down  among  lions,  she 
nourished  her  whelps  among 
young  lions.  And  she  brought 
up  one  of  her  whelps:  it  became 
a  young  lion,  and  it  learned  to 
catch  the  prey;  it  devoured  men. 
Now  when  she  saw  that  she  had 
waited,  aiid  her  hope  was  lost, 
then  she  took  another  of  her 
whelps,  and  made  him  a  young 
lion.  And  he  wont  up  and  down 
among  the  lions,  he  became  a 
young  lion,  and  learned  to  catch 
the  prey,  and  devoured  men. 

Joel  i.  6.  For  a  nation  is  come 
up   upon   my   land,  strong,  and

the  cheek  teeth  of  a  great  lion. 

Amos  iii,  4,  8,  12.  Will  a  lion 
roar  In  the  forest,  when  he  liatli 
no  prey?  Avill  a  yoimg  lion  cry  out 
of  his  den,  if  he  have  taken  noth- 
ing? The  lion  hath  roared,  who 
will  not  fear?  the  Lord  God  hath 
snokim.  who  can  but  prophesy? 
Thus  saith  the  Lokd;  As  the  shep- 
herd taketh  out  of  the  mouth  of 
the  lion  tAvo  legs,  or  a  piece  of  an 
ear;  so  shall  the  children  of  Israel 
be  tnken  out  that  dwell  in  Sa- 
maria in  the  corner  of  a  bed,  and 
in  Damascus  in  a  couch. 

Micah  v,  8.  And  the  remnant  of 
Jacob  shall  be  among  the  Gentiles 
in  the  midst  of  many  people  as  a 
lion  among  the  beasts  of  the  forest, 
as  a  j'oung  lion  among  the  flocks 
of  sheep:  who,  if  he  go  through, 
both  treadeth  down,  and  teareth 
in  pieces,  and  none  can  deliver. 

Na.hnm  ii,  11-13.  Where  is  the 
dwelling  of  the  lions,  and  the 
feeding  place  of  the  young  lions, 
where  the  lion,  even  the  old  lion, 
Avalked,  and  the  lion's  wh-^lp,  and 
none  made  them  afraid?  The  lion 
did  tear  in  pieces  enough  for  his 
Avhelps,  and  strangled  for  his  lion- 
esses, and  filled  his  holes  with 
prey,  and  his  dens  Avith  ravin. 
Behold,  I  am  against  thee,  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts,  and  I  Avill 
burn  her  chariots  in  the  smoke, 
and  the  SAVord  shall  devour  thy 
young  lions:  and  I  Avill  cut  off  thy 
prey  from  the  earth,  and  the  voice 
of  thy  messengers  shall  no  more 
be  heard. 

2  Tim.  iv,  17.  Notwithstanding 
the  Lord  stood  Avith  me,  and 
strengthened  me;  that  by  me  the 
preaching  might  bo  fully  IvnoAvn, 
and  that  all  the  Gentiles  miglit 
hear:  and  I  Avas  delivered  out  of 
the  mouth  of  the  lion. 

1  Pet.  V,  8.  Be  sober,  be  vigilant; 
because  your  adversary  the  devil, 
as  a  roaring  lion,  walketh  about, 
seel;ing  Avhom  he  may  devour. 

Bev.  \v,  7.  And  the  first  beast 
toas  like  a  lion,  and  the  second 
beast  like  a  calf,  and  the  third

fourth  beast  was  like  a  flying 
eagle. 

Bev.  V,  5.  And  one  of  the  elders 
saith  unto  me.  Weep  not:  behold, 
the  Lion  of  the  tribe  of  Juda,  the 
Root  of  David,  hath  prevailed  to 
open  the  book,  and  to  loose  the 
seven  seals  thereof. 

Bev.  X,  3.  Ar.d  cried  with  a  loud 
voice,  as  lohen  a  lion  roareth:  and 
Avhcn  he  had  cried,  seven  thunders 
uttered  their  voices. 

Pan.  vi,  24.  And  the  king  com- 
manded, and  they  brought  those 
men  Avhich  had  accused  Daniel, 
and  they  cast  them  into  the  den 
18 


of  lions,  them,  their  children,  and 
their  Avives;  and  the  lions  had  the 
mastery  of  them,  and  brake  all 
their  bones  in  pieces  or  ever  they 
came  at  the  bottom  of  the  den. 
(See  under  Miracle.) 

LEVIATHAN  OR  CROCODILE. 

BULK  AND  APPEA.BAKCE. 

Job  xli,  31,  32,  18-21,  11.  He 
maketh  the  deep  to  boil  like  a 
pot;  he  maketh  the  sea  like  a  pot 
of  ointment.  He  maketh  a  path 
to  shine  after  him;  one  would 
think  the  deep  to  be  hoary.  By 
his  necsings  a  light  doth  shine, 
and  his  eyes  are  lilce  the  eyelids 
of  the  morning.  Out  of  his  mouth 
go  burning  lamps,  and  sparks  of 
fire  leap  out.  Out  of  his  nostrils 
goeth  smoke,  as  ont  of  a  seething 
pot  or  caldron.  His  breath  kind- 
leth  coals,  and  a  flame  goeth  out 
of  his  mouth.  Who  hath  prevent- 
ed me,  that  I  should  »pay  Mmf 
lohatsoever  is  under  the  \vholo 
heaven  is  mine. 

Ijipenetrable  Scales. 
Job  xli,  7. 12-17.  23,  26-30.  Canst 
thou  fill  his  skin  Avith  barbed 
irons?  or  his  headAvith  fish  spears? 
1  Avill  not  conceal  his  parts,  nor 
his  poAver,  nor  his  comely  propor- 
tion. Who  can  discover  the  laco 
of  his  garment?  or  Avho  can  come 
to  him  with  his  double  bridle? 
Who  can  open  the  doors  of  his 
face?  his  teeth  are  terrible  round 
about.  His  scales  are  his  pride, 
shut  up  together  as  tvith  a  close 
seal.  One  is  so  near  to  another, 
that  no  air  can  come  between 
them.  They  are  joined  one  to 
another,  they  stick  together,  that 
they  cannot  be  sundered.  The 
flakes  of  his  flesh  are  joined  toge- 
ther: they  are  firm  in  themselves; 
they  cannot  be  moved.  The 
sword  of  him  that  layeth  at  him 
cannot  hold:  the  spear,  the  dart, 
nor  the  habergeon.  lie  estecm- 
eth  iron  as  straAV,  and  brass  as 
rotten  Avood.  The  aiTOAv  cannot 
make  him  flee:  slingstones  are 
turned  Avith  him  into  stubble. 
Darts  are  counted  as  stubble:  he 
laugheth  at  the  shaking  of  a  spear. 
Sharp  stones  are  xmder  him:  he 
spreadeth  sharp  pointed  things 
upon  the  mire. 

Untamable. 
Job  xli,  1-6, 8-10, 22,  24, 25,  33. 34. 
Canst  thou  draAV  out  leviathan 
with  an  hook?  or  his  tongue  Avith 
a  cord  which  thou  lettest  down? 
Canst  thou  put  an  hook  into  his 
nose?  or  bore  his  jaAV  througli 
Avith  a  thorn?  Will  he  make 
many  supplications  unto  thee? 
AvlU  he  speak  soft  words  unto 
thee?  Will  ho  make  a  covenant 
Avith  thee?  Avilt  thou  take  him 
for  a  servant  for  ever?  Wilt  thou 
play  ATlth  him  as  with  a  bird?  or 


AKIMALS. 


wilt  thon  bind  him  for  thy  maid- 
ens? Shall  thy  companions  make 
a  banquet  of  him?  shall  they  part 
him  among  the  merchants?  Lay 
thine  hand  upon  him,  remember 
the  battle,  do  no  more.  Behold, 
the  hope  of  him  Is  in  vain:  shall 
not  one  be  cast  down  even  at  the 
sight  of  him?  None  is  so  fierce 
that  dare  stir  him  up:  who  then 
is  able  to  stand  before  me?  In 
his  neck  rcmaineth  strength,  and 
sorrow  is  turned  into  joy  before 
him.  Hi3  heart  is  as  firm  as  a 
stone;  yea,  as  hard  as  a  piece  of 
the  nether  millstone.  When  he 
niiseth  up  himself,  the  mighty  are 
afraid:  by  reason  of  breakings 
they  purify  themselves.  Upon 
earth  there  is  not  his  like,  who  is 
made  without  fear.  Ho  behold- 
Qth  all  high  things:  he  is  a  king 
over  all  the  chikU-en  of  pride. 

Ps.  Ixxiv,  14.  Thou  brakcst  the 
heads  of  leviathan  In  pieces  and

Dan.  vii,  3-5,  7,  11,  12,  17.  And 
four  great  beasts  came  up  from 
the  sea,  diverse  one  from  another. 
The  first  vms  like  a  lion,  and  had 
eagle's  wings:  I  beheld  till  the 
wings  thereof  were  plucked,  and 
it  was  lifted  up  from  the  earth,  and 
made  stand  upon  the  feet  as  a 
man,  and  a  man's  heart  was  given 
to  it.  And  behold  another  beast, 
a  second,  like  to  a  bear,  and  it 
raised  up  itself  on  one  side,  and  it 
had  three  ribs  in  the  mouth  of  it 
between  the  teeth  of  it:  and  they 
said  thus  unto  it,  Arise,  devour 
much  flesh.  After  this  I  saw  in 
the  night  visions,  and  behold  a 
fourth  beast,  dreadful  and  terrible, 
and  strong  exceedingly;  and  it 
had  great  iron  teeth:  it  devoured 
and  brake  in  pieces,  and  stamped 
the  residue  with  the  feet  of  it:  and 
it  toas  diverse  from  all  the  beasts 
that  were  before  \^\  and  it  had  ten 
19 


horns.  I  beheld  then  because  of 
the  voice  of  the  great  words  which 
the  horn  spake:  I  beheld  even  till 
the  beast  was  slain,  and  his  body 
destroyed,  and  given  to  the  burn- 
ing flame.  As  concerning  the  rest 
of  the  beasts,  they  had  their 
dominion  taken  awaj':  yet  their 
lives  were  prolonged  for  a  season 
and  time.  These  great  beasts, 
which  are  four,  are  four  kings, 
which  shall  arise  out  of  the  earth.

the  seats  of  them  that  sold  doves. 

Joh7i  i,  32.  And  John  bare  re- 
cord, saying,  I  saw  the  Spirit  de- 
scending from  heaven  like  a  dove, 
and  it  abode  upon  him. 

John  ii,  14, 16.  And  found  in  the 
temple  those  that  sold  oxen  and 
sheep  and  doves,  and  the  cliangers 
of  money  sitting:  And  said  iinto 
them  that  sold  doves.  Take  these 
things  hence;  make  not  my 
Fatlier's  house  an  house  of  mer- 
chandise. 

EAGLE. 

ITS   POWERFUL   PINIONS,     ETC. 

Exod.  xix,  4.  Ye  have  seen  what 
I  did  unto  the  Egyptians,  andAc»^o 
I  bare  you  on  eagles'  wings,  and 
brought  you  unto  myself. 

Dent,  xxviii,  49.  The  Lord  shall 
bring  a  nation  against  thee  from 
far,  from  the  end  of  the  earth,  as 
sv:ift  as  the  eagle  flieth;  a  nation 
whose  tongue  thou  shalt  not  un- 
derstand. 

Deut.  xxxii,  11.  As  an  eagle 
stirreth  np  her  nest,  fluttereth 
over  her  young,  spreadeth 
abroad  her  wings,  taketh  them, 
beareth  them  on  her  wings. 

Job  ix,  26.  They  are  passed 
away  as  the  swift  ships:  as  the 
eagle  that  hasteth  to  the  prey. 

Job  xxxix,  27-30.  Doth  the 
eagle  mount  up  at  thy  command, 
and  make  her  nest  on  high?  She 
dwelleth  and  abideth  on  the  rock, 
upon  the  crag  of  the  rock,  and  the 
strong  place.  From  thence  she 
seeketh  the  prey,  and  her  eyes 
behold  afar  off.  Her  young  ones 
also  suck  up  blood:  and  where  the 
slain  are,  there  is  she.

Lord;  Behold,  he  shall  fly  as  an 
eagle,  and  shall  spread  his  wings 
over  Moab.

hath  deceived  thee,  and  the  pride 

21 


of  thine  heart,  O  thou  that  dwell- 
est  in  the  clefts  of  the  rock,  that 
boldest  the  height  of  the  hill: 
though  thou  shouldest  make  thy 
nest  as  high  as  the  eagle,  I  will 
bring  thee  down  from  thence, 
saith  the  Lord.  Behold,  he  shall 
come  up  and  fly  as  the  eagle,  and 
spread  his  wings  over  Bozrah:  and 
at  that  day  shall  the  heart  of  the 
mighty  men  of  Edom  be  as  the 
heart  of  a  woman  in  her  pangs. 

Lam.  iv,  19.  Our  persecutors  are 
swifter  than  the  eagles  of  the 
heaven:  they  pursued  us  upon  the 
mountains,  ihjy  laid  wait  for  us 
in  the  wilderness. 

Micahi,  16.  Make  thee  bald,  and

from  thee.

thither  will  the  eagles  be  gathered 
together. 

HAWK. 

Job  xxxix,  26.  Doth  the  hawk 
fly  by  thy  wisdom,  and  stretch 
her  wings  toward  the  south? 

OSTRICH. 

J^oJ)  xxxix,  14-18.  .  .  .  Which 
leaveth  her  eggs  in  the  earth,  and 
warmeth  them  in  dust.  And  for- 
getteth  that  the  foot  may  crush 
them,  or  that  the  wild  beast  may 
break  them.  She  is  hardened 
against  her  young  ones,  as  though 
they  were  not  her's:  her  labour  is 
in  vain  without  fear;  Because 
God  hath  deprived  her  of  wisdom, 
neither  hath  he  imparted  to  her 
understanding.  What  time  she 
lifteth  up  herself  on  high,  she 
scorneth  the  horse  and  his  rider.

morant and  the  bittern  shall  pos- 
sess it;  the  owl  also  and  the  raven 
shall  dwell  in  it.  .  .  .  The 
screech  owl  also  shall  rest  there, 
and  find  for  herself  a  place  of 
rest.  There  shall  the  great  oavI 
make  her  nest,  and  lay,  and  hatch, 
and  gather  under  her  sha- 
dow  

Micah  1, 8.   ...   I  will  make

PARTRIDGE. 

Jer.  xvii,  11.  As  the  partridge 
sitteth  on  eggs,  and  hatcheth 
them  not;  so  he  that  getteth

days,  and  at  his  end  shall  be  a 
fool.

Jerusalem,  thou  that  killest  the 
prophets,  and  stonest  them  which 
are  sent  unto  tliee,  how  often 
would  I  have  gathered  thy  cliil- 
dren  together,  even  as  a  hen 
gathereth  lier  cliickens  under  Aer 
■wings,  and  ye  would  not! 

MatUi.  xxvi,  34,  74,  75.  Jesus 
said  unto  him,  Verily  I  say  unto 
thee.  That  this  night,  before  the 
cock  crow,  thou  shalt  deny  me 
thrice.  Then  began  he  to  curse 
and  to  swear,  saying,  I  know  not 
the  man.  And  immediately  the 
cock  crew.  And  Peter  remem- 
bered the  word  of  Jesus,  which

QUAILS. 

Exod.  xvi,  12, 13.  I  have  heard 
the  murmurings  of  the  children 
of  Israel:  speak  unto  them,  say-

and  in  the  morning  ye  shall  be 
filled  with  bread;  and  ye  shall 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord  your 
God.  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
at  even  the  quails  came  up,  and 
covered  the  camp:  and  in  the 
morning  the  dew  lay  round  about 
the  host. 

Nam.  xi,  31,  32.  And  there 
went  forth  a  wind  from  the  Lord, 
and  brought  quails  from  the  sea, 
and  let  tlteiii  fall  by  the  camp,  as 
it  were  a  day's  journey  on  this 
side,  and  as  it  were  a  day's  jour- 
ney on  the  other  side,  round 
about  (he  camp,  and  as  it  were 
two  cubits  high  upon  the  face  of 
the  earth.    And  the  people  stood 


up  all  that  day,  and  all  that  night, 
and  all  the  next  day,  and  they 
gathered  the  quails:  he  that 
gathered  least  gathered  ten 
homers:  and  they  spread  them  all 
abroad  for  themselves  round 
about  the  camp. 

RAVEN. 

Gen.  viii,  6,  7.  And  it  came  to 
pass  at  the  end  of  forty  days,  that 
Noah  opened  the  window  of  the 
ark  which  lie  had  made:  And  he 
sent  forth  a  raven,  whicli  went 
forth  to  and  fro,  until  the  waters 
were  dried  up  from  olf  the  earth.

most  fine  gold,  his  locks  are 
bushy,  and  l)lack  as  a  raven. 

Luke  xii,  24.  Consider  the 
ravens:  for  they  neither  sow  nor 
reap;  which  neither  have  store- 
house nor  barn;  and  God  feedeth 
them:  how  much  more  are  ye 
better  than  the  fowls.

net  is  spread  in  the  sight  of  any 
bird.

through  Ids  liver;  as  a  bird 
hastetii  to  the  snare,  and  knoweth 
not  that  it  Is  for  his  life. 

Eedcs.   ix,  12.    For  man    also 

knoweth    not    his   time:    as    the 

fislies  that  are  taken  in  an  evil  net, 

and  as  the  birds  that  are  caught 

22 


In  the  snare;  so  are  the  sons  of 
men  snared  in  an  evil  time,  when 
it  falleth  suddenly  upon  them.

chased  me  sore,  like  a  bird,  with- 
out cause. 

Hos.  vii,  12.  When  they  shall  go, 
T  will  spread  my  net  upon  them;

fowls  of  the  heaven;  I  will  chas- 
tise them,  as  their  congregation 
hath  heard. 

Hos.  ix,  8.  The  watchman,  of

house  of  his  God. 

Amos  iii,  5.  Can  a  bird  fall  in  a 
snare  upon  the  earth,  where  no

taken  nothing  at  all? 

FISHES. 

Exod.  vii,  18.  And  the  fish  that 
is  in  the  river  shall  die,  and  the

Num.  xi,  22.  Shall  the  flocks  and 
the  herds  be  slain  for  them,  to 
sufflce  them?  or  shall  all  the  fish

Neh. x\n,lQ.  There  dwelt  men 
of  Tyre  also  therein,  which

Jerusalem. 

Ps.  civ,  25.  So  is  this  great  and 
wide  sea,  wherein  are  things 
creeping  innumerable,  both  small 
and  great  beasts. 

Isa.  1,  2.  Wherefore,  when  I 
came,  was  there  no  fiian?  when  I 
called,  was  there  none  to  answer? 
Is  my  hand  shortened  at  all,  that 
it  cannot  redeem?  or  have  I  no 
power  to  deliver?  behold,  at  my 
rebuke  I  dry  up  the  sea,  I  make 
the  rivers  a  wilderness:  their  fish 
stmlceth,  because  there  is  no 
water,  and  dieth  for  thirst. 

Ezek.  xlvii,  9.  And  it  shall  come 
to  pass,  that  every  tiling  that  liv- 
eth,  which  moveth,  whithersoever 
the  rivers  shall  come,  shall  live:

ANIMALS. 


FISHING. 

Cant,  vii,  4.  Thine  eyes  like  the 
fislipools  in  lleshbon. 

Isa.  xix,  8, 10.  The  fishers  also 
shall  mourn,  and  all  they  that  cast 
ani?le  into  the  brooks  shall  lament, 
and  they  that  spread  nets  upon 
the  waters  shall  lanj^uish.  And 
they  shall  be  broken  in  the  pur- 
poses thereof,  all  that  make 
sluices  and  ponds  for  fish. 

Jer.  xvi,  16.  Behold,  I  will  send 
for  many  fishers,  saith  the  Lord, 
and  they  shall  flsh  them;  and  after 
will  I  send  for  many  hunters,  and 
they  shall  hunt  them  from  every 
mountain,  and  from  every  hill, 
and  out  of  the  holes  of  the  rocks. 

Ezek.  xlvii,  10.  AnditshaUcome 
to  pass,  that  the  fishers  shall  stand 
upon  it  from  En-,!?edi  even  unto 
En-cglaim;  they  shall  be  a  place 
to  spread  forth  nets;  their  fish 
shall  be  according  to  their  kinds, 
as  the  fish  of  the  great  sea,  ex- 
ceeding many. 

Amos  iv,  2.  The  Lord  God  hath 
sworn  by  his  holiness,  that,  lo, 
the  days  shall  come  upon  you, 
that  he  will  take  you  away  with 
hooks,  and  your  posterity  with 
fishhooks. 

Hab.  i,  14-17.  And  makest  men 
as  the  fishes  of  the  sea,  as  the 
creeping  things,  that  have  no  ruler 
over  them?  They  take  up  all  of 
them  with  the  angle,  they  catch 
them  in  their  net,  and  gather  them 
in  their  drag:  therefore  they  re- 
joice and  are  glad.  Therefore 
they  sacrifice  unto  their  net,  and 
burn  incense  unto  their  drag;  be- 
cause by  them  their  portion  is  fat, 
and  their  meat  plenteous.  Shall 
they  therefore  empty  their  net, 
and  not  spare  continually  to  slay 
the  nations? 

3Iatth.  iv,  18-20.  And  Jesus, 
walking  by  the  sea  of  Galilee,  saw 
two  brethren,  Simon  called  Peter, 
and  Andrew  his  brother,  casting 
a  net  into  the  sea:  for  they  were 
fishers.  And  he  saith  unto  them, 
Follow  me,  and  I  will  make  you 
fishers  of  men.  And  they  straight- 
way left  their  nets  and  followed 
him, 

Mattn.  xiii,  47-50.  Again,  the 
kingdom  of  heaven  is  like  unto  a 
net,  that  was  cacst  into  the  sea,  and 
gathered  of  every  kind:  Which, 
when  it  was  full,  they  drew  to 
shore,  and  sat  down,  and  gathered 
the  good  into  vessels,  but  cast  the 
bad  away.  So  shall  it  be  at  the 
end  of  the  world:  the  angels  shall 
come  forth,  and  sever  the  wicked 
from  among  the  just.  And  shall 
cast  them  into  the  furnace  of  fire: 
there  shall  be  wailing  and  gnash- 
ing of  teeth. 

Matth.XYW, 27.  Notwithstanding, 
loit  we  should  olfend  them,  go 


thou  to  the  sea,  and  cast  an  hook, 
au'l  take  up  the  fish  that  first 
cometh  up;  and  when  thou  hast 
opened  his  mouth,  thou  shalt  find 
a  piece  of  money:  that  take,  and 
give  unto  them  for  me  and  thee. 

Mark  \,  16-20.  Now  as  he  walk- 
ed by  the  sea  of  Galilee,  he  saw 
Simon  and  Andrew  his  brother 
casting  a  net  into  the  sea:  for  they 
were  fishers.  And  Jesus  said  un- 
to them,  Come  ye  after  me,  and  I 
will  make  you  to  become  fishers 
of  men.  And  straightway  they 
forsook  their  nets,  and  followed 
him.  And  when  he  had  gone  a 
little  farther  thence,  he  saw  Jame.s 
the  son  of  Zebedee,  and  John  his 
brother,  v/ho  also  were  in  the  ship 
mending  their  nets.  And  straight- 
way he  called  them:  and  they 
left  their  father  Zebedee  in  the 
ship  with  the  hired  servants,  and 
went  after  him. 

lAike  V,  2-11,  And  saw  two 
ships  standing  by  the  lake:  but 
the  fishermen  were  gone  out  of 
them,  and  were  washing  their 
nets.  And  he  entered  into  one  of 
the  ships,  wViich  Avas  Simon's,  and 
prayed  him  that  he  would  thrust 
out  a  little  from  the  land.  And 
he  sat  down,  and  taught  the  peo- 
ple out  of  the  ship.  Now  when  he 
had  left  speaking,  he  said  unto 
Simon,  Launch  out  into  the  deep, 
and  let  down  your  nets  for  a 
draught.  And  Simon  answering 
said  unto  hiin,  Master,  we  have 
toiled  all  the  night,  and  have  taken 
nothing;  nevertheless  at  thy  word 
I  will  let  down  the  net.  And 
when  they  had  this  done,  they  in- 
closed a  great  multitude  of  fishes: 
and  their  net  brake.  And  they 
beckoned  unto  their  partners, 
which  were  in  the  other  ship,  that 
they  should  come  and  help  them. 
And  they  came,  and  filled  both 
the  ships,  so  that  they  began  to 
sink.  When  Simon  Peter  saw  it, 
he  fell  down  at  Jesus'  knees,  say- 
ing, Depart  from  me;  for  I  am  a 
sinful  man,  O  Lord.  For  he  was 
astonished,  and  all  that  were  with 
Jiim,  at  the  draught  of  the  fishes 
which  they  had  taken:  And  so 
was  also  James,  and  John,  the 
sons  of  Zebedee,  which  were 
partners  Avith  Simon.  And  Jesus 
said  unto  Simon,  Fear  not;  from 
henceforth  thou  shalt  (^atch  men. 
And  when  they  had  brought  their 
ships  to  land,  they  forsook  all,  and 
followed  him./ 

John  xxi,  3,  6,  8.  Simon  Peter 
saith  unto  them  I  go  a  fishing. 
They  say  unto  him.  We  also  go 
with  thee.  They  went  forth,  and 
entered  into  a  ship  immediately; 
and  that  night  they,  caught  noth- 
ing. And  he  said  unto  them, 
Cast  the  net  on  the  right  side  of 
the  sliip,  and  ye  shall  find.  They 
cast  therefore,  and  now  they  were 
not  able  to  draw  it  for  the  multi- 
23 


tude  of  fishes.  And  the  other  dis- 
ciples came  in*a  little  ship;  (for 
they  were  not  far  from  land,  but 
as  it  were  two  hundred  cubits,) 
dragging  the  net  with  fishes. 

Used  as  Food. 
Num.T^x,  5.  We  remember  the 
fish  which  we  did  eat  in  Egypt 
freely;  the  cucumbers,  and  the 
melons,  and  the  leeks,  and  the 
onions,  and  the  garlick. 

Luke  xxiv,  42.  And  they  gave 
him  apiece  of  a  broiled  fish,  and 
of  an  honeycomb, 

John  xxi,  9,  10, 12, 13.  As  soon 
then  as  they  were  come  to  land, 
they  saw  a  fire  of  coals  there,  and 
fish  laid  thereon,  and  bread, 
Jesus  saith  unto  them,  Bring  of 
the  fish  which  ye  have  noAV 
caught.  Jesus  saith  unto  them, 
Conie  and  dine.  And  none  of  the 
disciples  durst  ask  him.  Who  art 
thou?  knowing  that  it  was  the 
Lord.  Jesus  then  coiiKith,  and 
tak(!th  Ijread,  and  giveth  them, 
and  flsh  likewise. 

FTSIIGATE. 

2  Chr.  xxxiii,  14.  Now  after  this

there  shall  be  a  reward,  and  thy 
expectation  shall  not  be  cut  off. 

Prov.  XXV,  16,  27.  Hast  thou 
found  honey?  eat  so  much  as  is 
sufficient  for  thee,  lest  thou  be 
filled  therewith,  and  vomit  it.  It 
is  not  good  to  eat  much  honey:  so 
for  men  to  search  their  own  glory 
is  not  glory.

drunk  my  wine  with  my  milk:  eat, 
O  friends;  drink,  yea,  drink  abun- 
dantly, O  beloved. 

Isa.  vii,  15,  22.  Butter  and  honey 
shall  he  eat,  that  he  may  know  to 
refuse  the  evil,  and  choose  the 
good.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
for  the  abundance  of  milk  t/iat 
they  shall  give  that  he  shall  eat 
butter:  for  butter  and  honey  shall 
every  one  eat  that  is  left  hi  the 
land. 

Matth.  iii,  4.  And  the  same  John

and  wild  honey.

ments is  like  the  smell  of  Le- 
banon. 

Ezelc.  iil,  3.  And  he  said  unto 
me,  Son  of  man,  cause  thy  belly 
to  eat,  and  fill  thy  bowels  with 
this  roll  that  I  give  thee.  Then 
did  I  eat  it;  and  it  was  in  my 
mouth  as  honey  for  sweetness. 

Eev.  X,  9, 10.  And  I  went  unto  the 
angel,  and  said  unto  him,  Give 
me  the  little  book.  And  he  said 
unto  me.  Take  it,  and  eat  it  up; 
and  it  shall  malce  thy  belly  bitter, 
but  it  shall  be  in  thy  month 
sweet  as  honey.  And  I  took  the 
little  book  out  of  the  angel's  hand, 
and  ate  it  up;  and  it  was  in  my 
mouth  sweet  as  honey:  and  as

shall  be  gathered  like  the  gather- 
ing of  the  catterpiller:  as  the  run- 
ning to  and  fro  of  locusts  shall  he

Jer.  li,  14,  27.  The  Lord  of  hosts 
hath  sworn  by  himself,  saying.

among  you.

the  fire  devour  thee;  the  sword 
shall  cut  thee  olf,  it  shall  eat 
thee  up  like  the  cankerworm: 
make  thyself  many  as  the  can- 
kerworm, malce  thyself  many  as 


the  locusts,.  Thou  hast  multiplied 
thy  merchants  above  the  stars  of 
heaven:  the  cankerworm  spoileth, 
and  fleeth  away. 

FLEA. 

1  Sam.  xxiv,  14.  After  whom  Is 
the  king  of  Israel  come  out?  after 
whom  dost  thou  pursue?  after  a 
dead  dog,  after  a  flea? 

1  Sam.  xxvi,  20.  Now  therefore, 
let  not  my  blood  fall  to  the  earth 
before  the  face  of  the  Lord;  for 
the  king  of  Israel  is  come  out  to 
seek  a  flea,  as  Avhen  one  doth

thy  people,  and  into  thy  houses: 
and  the  houses  of  the  Egyptians 
shall  be  full  of  swarms  of  flies, 
and  also  the  ground  whereon 
they  are.  And  I  will  sever  in 
tliat  day  the  land  of  Goshen,  in 
which  my  people  dwell,  that  no 
swarms  of  flies  shall  be  there;  to

am  the  Lord  in  the  midst  of  the 
earth.

voured them 

Ps.  cv,  31.  He  spake,  and  there

in  all  their  coasts. 

Eccles.  X,  1.  Dead  flies  cause  the 
ointment  of  the  apothecary  to 
send  forth  a  stinkuig  savour:  so 
doth  a  little  folly  him  that  is  in 
reputation  for  wisdom  and  hon- 
our. 

75a.  vii,  18,  19.  And  it  shall 
come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  the 
Lord  shall  hiss  for  the  fly  that  is 
in  the  uttermost  part  of  the 
rivers  of  Egj'pt,  .  .  .And  they 
shall  come,  and  shall  rest  all  of 
them  in  the  desolate  valley,  and

and  the  Amalekites  and  all  the 
children  of  the  east  lay  along  in 
the  valley  like  grasshoppers  for

down  her  forest,  saith  tlie  Lord, 
though  it  cannot  be  searched; 
because  they  are  more  than  the 
grasshoppers,  and  are  innumer- 
able. 

Nahumm,VT.  Thy  crowned  are

sight.

LOCUST.

humble  thyself  before  me?  let  my 
people  go,  that  they  may  serve 
me.  Else,  if  thou  refuse  to  let  my 
people  go,  behold,  to  morrow  will 
I  bring  the  locusts  into  thy  coast: 
And  they  shall  cover  the  face  of 
the  earth,  that  one  cannot  bo 
able  to  see  the  earth:  and  they 
shall  eat  the  residue  of  that 
which  is  escaped,  which  remain- 
eth  unto  you  from  the  hall,  and 


shall  cat  every  tree  which  grow- 
cth  for  you  out  of  the  field:  And 
they  shall  fill  thy  houses,  and  the 
hoifses  of  all  thy  servants,  and  the 
houses  of  all  the  Egyptians;  which 
neither  thy  fathers,  nor  thy 
fathers'  fiithers  have  seen,  since

earth:  and  unto  them  was  given 
power,  as  the  scorpions  of  the 
earth  liave  power.  And  the 
shapes  of  the  locusts  toere  like 
unto  horses  prepared  unto  battle; 
and  on  their  heads  were  as  it 
were  crowns  like  gold,  and  their 
faces  loere  as  the  faces  of  men. 
And  they  had  hair  as  the  liair  of 
women,  and  their  teeth  were  as 
the  teeth  of  lions.  And  they 
had  breastplates,  as  it  were 
breastplates  of  iron;  and  the  sound

for  the  bm-nt  ofTering,  and  rose  up, 
and  went  unto  the  place  of  which

further,  and  stood  in  a  narrow 
place,  where  was  no  way  to  turn 
either  to  the  right  hand  or  to  the 
left.  And  when  the  ass  saw  the 
angel  of  the  Lord,  she  fell  down 
under  Balaam:  and  Balaam's 
anger  was  kindled,  and  he  smote 
the  ass  with  a  staff.  And  the 
Lord  opened  the  mouth  of  the 
ass.  and  she  said  unto  Balaam, 
What  have  I  done  unto  thee,  that 
thou  has  smitten  me  these  three 
times?  And  Balaam  said  unto  the 
ass.  Because  thou  hast  mocked 
me:  I  would  there  were  a  sword 
in  mine  hand,  for  now  would  I  kill 
thee.  And  the  ass  said  unto  Ba. 
laam.  Am  not  I  thine  ass,  upon 
which  thou  hast  ridden  ever  since 
I  was  thine  unto  this  day?  was  I 
ever  wont  to  do  so  unto  thee?

thou  smitten  thine  ass  these  three 
thnes?  behold,  I  went  out  to  with- 
stand thee,  because  thy  way  is 
perverse  before  me.  And  the  ass

Jlev.  vi,  1-8.  And  I  saAV  when 
the  Lamb  opened  one  of  the  seals, 
and  I  heard,  as  it  were  the  noise 
of  thunder,  one  of  the  four  beasts 
saying,  Come  and  see.  And  I 
saw,  and  behold  a  white  horse: 
and  he  that  sat  on  him  had  a  bow; 
and  a  crown  was  given  unto  him: 
and  he  went  forth  conquering, 
and  to  conquer.  And  when  he 
had  opened  the  second  seal,  I

creepeth  on  the  gi-ound,  which  I

were  all  manner  of  fourfooted 
beasts  of  the  earth,  and  wild 
beasts,  and  creeping  things,  and 
foAvls  of  the  air.  And  there  camo 
a  voice  to  him,  Else,  Peter;  kill, 
and  eat.  But  Peter  said,  Not  so, 
I>ord;  for  I  have  never  eaten  any 
thing  that  is  common  or  unclean. 
And  the  voice  spake  unto  him 
again  the  second  time.  What  God 
hath  cleansed,  that  call  not  thou 
common.  This  Avas  done  thrice: 
and  the  vessel  Avas  received  up 
again  into  lieaven.

shall  eat  no  manner  of  blood, 
v:hether  it  he  of  fowl  or  of  beast, 
in  any  of  your  dwellings.  What-

manner  of  blood,  even  that  soul 
shall  be  cut  off  from  his  people. 

Lev.  xvii,  10,  13.  And  whatso- 
ever man  there  be  of  the  house  of 
Israel,  or  of  the  strangers  that 
sojourn  among  jovl,  that  eateth

set  my  face  against  tliat  soul  that 
eateth  blood,  and  will  cut  him  ofi 
from  among  his  people.  And 
whatsoever  man  there  be  of  the 
children  of  Israel,  or  of  the  stran- 
gers that  sojourn  among  you, 
which  hunteth  and  catcheth  any 
beasi  or  fowl  that  may  be  eaten;

thereof,  and  cover  it  with  dust.

blood.  Then  they  told  Saul,  say- 
ing, Behold,  the  people  sin  against 
tlie  Lord,  in  that  they  eat  with 
the  blood.  And  he  said.  Ye  have 
transgressed:  roll  a  great  stone 
unto  me  this  day.  And  Saul 
said.  Disperse  yourselves  among 
the  people,  and  say  unto  them. 
Bring  mo  hither  every  man  his 


ox,  and  every  man  his  sheep, 
and  slay  them  here,  and  eat; 
and  sin  not  against  the  Lord

Ezelc.  xxxiii.  25.  Wherefore  say 
unto  them,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  Ye  eat  with  the  blood,  and

idols,  and  shed  blood:  and  shall  ye 
possess  the  land? 

Reason. 

Lev.  xvii,  11, 12. 14.  For  the  life 
of  tlie  flesh  is  in  the  blood:  and  I 
have  given  it  to  you  upon  the 
altar  to  make  an  atonement  for 
your  souls:  for  it  is  the  blood  that 
maketh  an  atonement  for  the 
soul.  Therefore  I  said  unto  the 
cliildren  of  Israel,  No  soul  of  you 
sliall  eat  blood,  neither  shall  any 
stranger  that  so.iourneth  among 
vou  eat  blood.  For  it  is  the  life 
of  all  flesh;  the  blood  of  it  is  for 
the  life  thereof:  therefore  I  said 
unto  the  children  of  Israel,  Ye 
shall  eat  the  blood  of  no  manner 
of  flesh:  for  the  life  of  all  flesh  is 
the  blood  thereof:  Avhosoever 
eateth  it  shall  be  cut  off. 

Deut.  xii,  23.  Only  be  sure  that 
thou  eat  not  the  blood:  for  the 
blood  is  the  life;  and  thou  mayest 
not  eat  the  life  with  the  flesh. 


FAT  FORBIDDEN. 
Lev.  iii,  16, 17.  .  .  .  All  the 
fat  is  the  Lord's.  It  shall  be  a 
perpetual  statute  for  your  gener- 
ations tliroughout  all  your  dwell- 
ings, that  ye  eat  neither  fat  nor 
blood. 

Lev.yW,  23-25.  Speak  unto  the 
children  of  Israel,  saying.  Ye 
shall  eat  no  manner  of  fat,  of  ox, 
or  of  sheep,  or  of  goat.  And  the 
fat  of  tlie  beast  that  dieth  of  itself, 
and  the  fat  of  that  which  is  torn 
with  beasts,  may  be  used  in  any 
other  use:  but  ye  shall  in  no  wise 
eat  of  it.  For  whosoeA'er  eateth 
the  fat  of  the  beast,  of  which  men 
olfer  an  oU'ering  made  by  fire  unto 
the  Loud,  even  the  soul  that  eat- 
eth it  shall  be  cut  off  from  his 
people.

OF  PREY,   OR   THAT   DIED  A 

NATURAL  DEATH. 

Exod.  xxii,  31.  And  ye  shall  be 
holy  men  unto  me:  neither  shall 
ye  eat  any  flesh  that  is  torn  of 
beasts  in  tlie  field;  ye  shall  cast  it 
to  the  dogs. 

Lev.  xi,  39,  40.  And  if  any  beast, 
of  which  ye  may  eat,  die;  he  that 
32 


tOTicheth  the  carcase  thereof  shall 
be  unclean  until  tHe  even.  And 
he  that  eateth  of  the  carcase  of  it 
shall  wash  Ids  clothes,  and  be  un- 
clean until  the  even:  he  also  that 
beareth  the  carcase  of  it  shall 
wash  his  clothes,  and  be  unclean 
until  the  even. 

Lev.  xvii,  15,  16.  And  every 
soul  that  eateth  that  which  died 
of  itself,  or  that  which  was  torn 
tvith  beasts,  whether  it  be  one  of 
your  own  country,  or  a  stranger, 
he  shall  both  wash  his  clothes, 
and  bathe  himself  in  Avater,  and 
be  unclean  until  the  even:  then 
shall  he  be  clean.  But  if  he  wash 
them  not,  nor  bathe  liis  flesh;  then 
he  shall  bear  his  iniquity. 

Lev.  xxii,  8,  9.  That  Avhich  dieth 
of  itself,  or  is  torn  toith  beasts, 
he  shall  not  eat  to  defile  himself 
thereAvith:  I  am  the  Lord.  They 
shall  therefore  keep  mine  ordin- 
ance, lest  they  bear  sin  for  it,  and 
die  therefore,  if  they  profane  it:  I 
the  Lord  do  sanctify  them. 

L)e7it.  xiv,  21.  Ye  shall  not  eat  of 
any  thing  that  dieth  of  itself:  thou 
shalt  give  it  unto  the  stranger 
that  is  in  thy  gates,  that  he  may 
eat  it;  or  thou  mayest  sell  it  unto 
an  alien:  for  thou  art  an  holy  peo- 
ple unto  the  Lord  thy  God.  Thou 
Shalt  not  seethe  a  kid  in  his 
mother's  milk. 

Ezek.  iv,  14.  Then  said  I,  Ah 
Lord  God!  behold,  my  soul  hath 
not  been  polluted:  for  from  my 
youth  up  CA^en  till  noAv  ha\'e  I  not 
eaten  of  that  Avhich  dieth  of  itself, 
or  is  torn  in  pieces;  neitlier  came 
there  abominable  flesh  into  my 
mouth. 

Ezek.  xliv,  31.  The  priest  shall 
not  eat  of  any  thing  that  is  dead 
of  itself,  or  torn,  Avhether  it  be 
foAvl  or  beast. 

CHRISTIAN  LAW  AND 

CONSCIENCE. 

Matth.  XV,  11.  Not  that  AA'hich 
goeth  into  the  mouth  deflleth  a 
man;  but  that  Avhlch  comcth  out 
of  the  mouth,  this  deflleth  a 
man. 

3fark  vii,  15.  There  is  nothing 
from  Avithout  a  man,  that  entering 
into  him  can  defile  him:  but  the 
tilings  Avhich  come  out  of  him, 
those  are  they  that  defile  tho 
man. 

Acts  XV,  28,  29.  For  it  seemed 
good  to  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  to 
us,  to  lay  upon  you  no  greater 
l)urden  than  these  necessary 
things;  That  ye  abstain  irom 
meats  oflered  to  idols,  and  from 
blood,  and  from  tilings  strangled, 
and  from  fornication:  from  Avhich 
If  ye  keep  yourselves,  ye  shall  do 
Avcll.    Fare  ye  Avell. 

Acts  xxi,  25.  As  touching  the 
Gentiles  Avhich  believe,  Ave  have 


written  a7ff  c*ncln'1ed  that  tl\ey 
observe  no  such  thiiijr.  save  only 
that  they  keep  themselves  from 
things  offered  to  idols,  and  irom 
blood,  and  from  strang-led,  and 
from  fornication. 

Eom..  xiv.  14-23.  I  know,  and 
am  persuaded  by  the  Lord  Jesns, 
that  there  is  nothing  unclean  of 
itself:  but  to  him  that  esteemeth 
any  thing  to  he  unclean,  to  him 
it  is  unclean.  But  if  thy  brother 
be  grieved  with  thy  meat,  now 
walkest  thou  not  charitably.  De- 
stroy not  him  with  thy  meat,  for 
whom  Christ  died.  Let  not  then 
your  good  be  evil  spoken  of;  For 
the  kingdom  of  G(k1  is  not  meat 
and  drink;  but  righteousness,  and 
peace,  and  joy  in  the  Holy  Ghost. 
For  he  that  in  these  things  serv- 
eth  Christ  is  acceptable  to  God, 
and  approved  of  men.  Let  us 
therefore  follow  after  the  things 
which  make  for  peace,  and  things 
wherewith  one  may  edify  another. 
For  meat  destroy  not  the  worlc  of 
God.  All  things  indeed  are  pure; 
but  it  is  evil  for  that  man  who 
eateth  wit^  offence.  It  is  good 
neither  to  eat  flesh,  nor  to  drink 
wine,  nor  any  thing  whereby  thy 
brother  stumbleth,  or  is  otfended, 
or  is  made  weak.  Hast  thou 
faith?  have  it  to  thyself  before 
God.  Happy  is  he  that  con- 
demneth  not  himself  in  that  thing 
which  he  alloweth.  And  he  that 
doubteth  is  damned  if  he  eat, 
because  he  enfcth  not  of  faith: 
for  whatsoever  is  not  of  faith  is 
sin. 

1  Qor.  viii,  8-13.  But  meat  com- 
mendeth  us  not  to  God:  for  neither, 
if  we  eat,  are  we  the  better; 
neither,  if  we  eat  not,  are  we  the 
worse.  But  take  heed  lest  by  any 
means  this  liberty  of  your's  be- 
come a  stumblingblock  to  them 
that  are  weak.  For  if  any  man 
gee  thee  which  hast  knowledge 
Bit  at  meal  in  the  idol's  temple, 
shall  not  the  conscience  of  him 
which  is  weak  be  emboldened  to 
eat  those  things  which  are  offered 
to  idols;  And  through  thy  know- 
ledge shall  the  weak  brother 
perish,  for  whom  Christ  died? 
But  when  ye  sin  so  against  the 
brethren,  and  wound  their  weak 
conscience,  ye  sin  against  Christ. 
Wherefore,  if  meat  make  my 
brother  to  offend,  I  will  eat  no 
flesh  while  the  world  standeth, 
lest  I  make  my  brother  to  offend. 

1  Qor.  X,  25-33.  Whatsoever  is 
Bold  in  the  shambles,  that  eat,  ask- 
ing no  question  for  conscience 
sake:  For  the  earth  is  the  Lord's, 
and  the  fulness  thereof.  If  any 
of  them  that  believe  not  bid  you 
to  a  feast,  and  ye  be  disposed  to 
go;  whatsoever  is  set  before  you, 
eat,  asking  no  question  for  consci- 
ence sake.  But  if  any  man  say 
Cnto  you.  This  is  offered  in  sacri- 


ANIMALS. 

flee  unto  idols,  eat  not  for  his 
sake  that  shewed  it,  and  for  con- 
science sake:  for  the  earth  is  the 
Lord's,  and  the  fulness  thereof: 
Conscience.  I  say,  not  thine  own, 
l)nt  of  the  other:  for  why  is  my 
liberty  judged  of  another  mail's 
conscience?  For  if  I  by  grace  be 
a  partaker,  why  am  I  evil  spoken 
of  for  that  for  which  I  give  thanks? 
Whether  therefore  ye  eat,  or 
drink,  or  whatsoever  ye  do,  do  all 
to  the  glory  of  God.  Give  none 
offence,  neither  to  the  Jews,  nor 
to  the  Gentiles,  nor  to  the  church 
of  God:  Even  as  I  please  all  men 
in  all  things,  not  seeking  mine 
own  profit,  but  the  profit  of  many, 
that  they  may  be  saved. 

(7o?.  ii,  20-23.  Wherefore  if  ye  he 
dead  with  Christ  from  the  rudi- 
ments of  the  world,  why,  as 
though  living  in  the  world,  are  ye 
subject  to  ordinances,  (Touch  not; 
taste  not;  handle  not;  Which  all 
are  to  perish  with  the  using;)  after 
the  commandments  and  doctrines 
of  men?  Which  things  have  in- 
deed a  shew  of  wisdom  in  will 
worship,  and  humility,  and 
neglecting  of  the  body;  not  in  any 
honour  to  the  satisfying  of  the 
flesh. 

1  Tim.  iv,  3-5.  •  •  'And  com- 
manding  to  abstain  from  meats, 
which  God  hath  created  to  be  re- 
ceived with  thanksgiving  of  them 
which  believe  and  know  the 
truth.  For  every  creature  of  God 
is  good,  and  nothing  to  be  refused, 
if  it  be  received  with  thanksgiv- 
ing: For  it  is  sanctified  by  the 
word  of  God  and  prayer.

Lev.  xi,  2,  3.  Speak  unto  the 
children  of  Israel,  saying,  These 
are  the  beasts  which  ye  shall  eat 
among  all  the  beasts  that  are  on 
the  earth.  Whatsoever  parteth 
the  hoof,  and  is  clovenfooted,  and 
clieweth  the  cud,  among  the 
beasts,  that  shall  ye  eat. 

Deut.  xiv,  4-6.  These  are  the 
beasts  which  ye  shall  eat:  the  ox, 
the  sheep,  and  the  goat,  The  hart, 
and  the  roebuck,  and  the  fallow 
deer,  and  the  wild  goat,  and  the 
pygarg,  and  the  wild  ox,  and  the

parteth  the  hoof,  and  cleaveth  the 
cleft  into  tAvo  claws,  and  chewet.h 
the  cud  among  the  beasts,  that  ye 
shall  eat. 

Unclean. 

Lev.  xi,  4-8,  26-28.  Nevertheless 

these  shall  ye  not  eat  of  them  that 

chew  the  cud,  or  of  them  that

divide  the  hoot:  as  the  camel,  be- 
cause he  chcweth  the  end,  but 
divideth  not  tlie  hoof;  he  is  un- 
clean unto  you.  And  the  coney, 
because  he  cheAveth  the  cud,  but 
divideth  not  the  hoof;  he  is 
unclean  unto  you.  And  the  hare, 
because  he  choAveth  the  cud,  but 
divideth  not  the  hoof;  he  is  un- 
clean unto  you.  And  the  SAvine, 
though  he  divide  the  hoof,  and  bo 
clovenfooted,  yet  he  cheAveth  not 
the  cud;  he  is  unclean  to  you.  Of 
their  flesh  shall  ye  not  eat,  and 
their  carcase  shall  ye  not  touch; 
they  are  unclean  to  you.  The 
carcases  of  every  beast  Avhich 
divideth  the  hoof,  and  is  not 
clovenfooted,  nor  cheweth  the 
ciid,  are  unclean  unto  you:  every 
one  that  toucheth  them  shall  be 
unclean.  And  Avhatsoever  goeth 
upon  his  paAvs,  among  all  manner 
of  beasts  that  go  on  ail  four,  those 
are  unclean  unto  you:  avIioso 
toucheth  their  carcase  shall  be 
unclean  until  the  even.  And  he 
that  beareth  the  carcase  of  them 
shall  wash  his  clothes,  and  be  un-

clean unto  you. 

Deut.  xiv,  7,  8.  Nevertheless 
these  ye  shall  not  eat  oi  them 
that  chew  the  cud,  or  of  them 
that  divide  the  cloven  hoof;  as  the 
camel,  and  the  harp,  and  the 
coney:  for  they  cheAV  the  cud,  but 
divide  not  the  hoof;  therefore  they 
are  unclean  unto  you.  And  the 
SAvine,  because  it  divideth  the 
hoof,  yet  chCAveth  not  the  cud,  it 
is  unclean  unto  you:  ye  shall  not 
eat  of  their  flesh,  nor  touch  their 
dead  carcase. 

Isa.  Ixv.  4.  AVhich  remain  among

Lsa.  Ixvi,  17.  They  that  sanctify

the  abomination,  and  the  mouse,

Jer.  xvi,  18.  And  first  I  will  re- 
compense their  iniquity  and  their

whosoever  beareth  ought  of  the

did  bake  unleavened  bread  there>- 
of.

as  soon  as  this  thy  son  was  come, 
which  hath  devoured  thy  living 
with  harlots,  thou  hast  killed  for 
him  the  fatted  calf.

Fs.  Ixviii,  30.  Rebuke  the  com- 
pany of  spearmen,  the  multitude 
of  the  bulls,  with  the  calves  of  the 
people,  till  every  one  submit  him- 
self with  pieces  of  silver:  scatter

unaccxistomed  to  the  yoke:  tura 
thou  me,  and  I  shall  be  turned; 
for  thou  art  the  Lokd  my  God. 

Jer.  1, 11.  Because  ye  were  glad,

sheep.  Cursed  shall  be  the  fruit 
of  thy  body,  and  the  fruit  of  thy 
land,  the  increase  of  thy  kine,  and

and  thou  shalt  not  eat  thereof: 
thine  ass  shall  be  violently  taken 
away  from  before  thy  face,  and

sheep  shall  be  given  unto  thine 
enemies,  and  thou  shalt  have  none 
to  rescue  them.

oxen,  and  of  the  fatllngs,  and  the 
lambs,  and  all  that  ivas  good,  and 
would  not  utterly  destroy  them: 
but  every  thing  that  loas  vile  and 
refuse,  that  they  destroyed  utterly. 
And  Samuel  said,  What  meaneth 
then  this  bleating  of  the  sheep  in 
mine  ears,  and  the  lowing  of  the 
oxen  which  I  hear?  And  Saul 
said.  They  have  brought  them 
from  the  Amalekites:  for  the  peo- 
ple spared  the  best  of  the  sheep 
and  of  the  oxen,  to  sacrifice  unto 
the  Lord  thy  God;  and  the  rest 
we  have  utterly  destroyed. 

1  Chron.  v,  9.  And  eastward  he

the  ass  of  the  fatherless,  they 
take  the  widow's  ox  for  a  pledge. 

Job  xlil,  12.  So  the  Lord  blessed 
the  latter  end  of  Job  more  than 
his  beginning:  for  he  had  fourteen

camels,  and  a  thousand  yoke  of 
oxen,  and  a  thousand  she  asses.

work,  thou,  nor  thy  son,  nor  thy 
daughter,  nor  thy  manservant,

STATUTE. 
Exod.  xxi,  28-36.  If  an  or  gore 
a  man  or  a  woman,  that  they  die: 
then  the  ox  shall  be  surely  stoned, 
and  his  flesh  shall  not  be  eaten; 
but  the  owner  of  the  ox  shall  be 
quit.  But  if  the  ox  were  wont  to 
push  with  his  horn  in  time  past, 
and  it  hath  been  testified  to  his 
owner,  and  he  hath  not  kept  him 
35 


!n,  but  that  he  hath  killed  a  man 
or  a  woman;  the  ox  shall  be  stoned, 
and  his  owner  also  shall  be  put  to 
death.  If  there  be  laid  on  him  a 
sum  of  money,  then  he  shall  give 
for  the  ransom  of  his  life  whatso- 
ever is  laid  upon  him.  Whether 
he  have  gored  a  son,  or  have  gored 
a  daughter,  according  to  this 
judgment  shall  it  be  done  unto 
him.  If  the  ox  shall  push  a  man- 
servant or  maidservant;  he  shall 
give  unto  their  master  thirty 
shekels  of  silver,  and  the  ox  shall 
be  stoned.  And  if  a  man  shall 
open  a  pit,  or  if  a  man  shall  dig  a 
pit,  and  not  cover  it,  and  an  ox  or 
an  ass  fall  therein;  The  owner  of  the 
pit  shall  make  it  good,  and  give 
money  unto  the  owner  of  them; 
and  the  dead  beast  shall  be  his. 
And  if  one  man's  ox  hurt  another's 
that  he  die:  then  they  shall  sell 
the  live  ox,  and  divide  the  money 
of  it;  and  the  dead  ox  also  they 
shall  divide.  Or  if  it  be  known 
that  the  ox  hath  used  to  push  in 
time  past,  and  his  owner  hath  not 
kept  him  in;  he  shall  surely  pay 
ox  for  ox;  and  the  dead  shall  be 
his  own. 

Exod.  xxH,  10, 11.  If  a  man  de- 
liver unto  his  neighbour  an  ass, 
or  an  ox,  or  a  sheep,  or  any  beast, 
to  keep;  and  it  die,  or  be  hurt,  or 
driven  away,  no  man  seeing  it: 
Then  shall  an  oath  of  the  Lord  be 
between  them  both,  that  he  hath 
not  put  his  hand  unto  his  neigh- 
bour's goods;  and  the  OAvner  of  it 
shall  accept  thereof,  and  he  shall 
not  make  it  good. 

Exod.  xxiii,  4,5.  If  thou  meet 
thine  enemy's  ox  or  his  ass  going 
astray,  thou  shalt  surely  bring  it 
back  to  him  again.  If  thou  see 
the  ass  of  him  that  hateth  thee 
lying  under  his  burden,  and 
wouldest  forbear  to  help  him, 
thou  Shalt  surely  help  with  him.

come  these  to  do?  And  he  spake, 
saying,  These  are  the  horns  which 
have  scattered  Judah,  so  that  no 
man  did  litt  up  his  head:  but  th  3se

his  horns  ten  crowns,  and  upon  his 
heads  the  name  of  blasphemy.

set  seven  ewe  lambs  of  the  flock 
by  themselves.  And  Abimelech 
said  unto  Abraham,  What  raean

thou  hast  set  by  themselves?  And 
he  said.  For  ttese  seven  ewe  lambs 
Shalt  thou  take  of  my  hand,  that

flocks:  and  a  great  stone  icas  upon 
the  well's  mouth.  And  thither 
were  all  the  flocks  gathered:  and 
they  rolled  the  stone  from  the 
well's  mouth,  and  watered  the 
sheep,  and  put  the  stone  again 
upon  the  well's  mouth  in  his 
place.  And  he  said,  Lo,  it  is  yet 
high  day,  neither  is  it  time  that 
the  cattle  should  be  gathered  to- 
gether: water  ye  the  sheep,  and 
go  and  feed  them.  And  they  said, 
We  cannot,  until  all  the  flocks  be 
gathered  together,  and  till  they 
roll  the  stone  from  the  well's 


mouth;  then  we  water  the  sheep. 
And  it  came  to  pass.  When  Jacob

day?  And  they  said.  An  Egyp-

aside  by  the  flocks  of  thy  com- 
panions? If  thou  know  not,  O 
thou  fairest  among  women,  go  thy 
way  forth  by  the  footsteps  of  the 
flock,  and  feed  thy  kids  beside 
the  shepherds'  tents.

goats,  that  appear  from  mount

same  is  a  thief  and  a  robber.  But

putteth  forth  his  own  sheep,  he 
goeth  before  them,  and  the  sheep 
follow  him:  lor  they  know  his 
voice.  And  a  stranger  will  they 
not  follow,  but  will  flee  from  him: 
for  they  know  not  the  voice  of 
strangers-  This  parable  spake 
Jesus  unto  them:  but  they  under- 
stood not  what  things  they  were 
which  he  spake  unto  them.

still  waters.  He  restoreth  my 
soul:  he  leadeth  me  in  the  patlis  of 
righteousness  for  his  name's  sake.

bered tlie-4ays  of  old.  iSioses,  and 
his  people,  snying,  Wiiere  /s  he 
tiut  brought  them  up  out  of  the 
sea  with  the  shepherd  of  his  flock? 
whore  is  he  that  put  his  holy 
Spirit  within  him? 

Jer.  vi,  3.  The  shepherds  with 
their  flocks  shall  come  unto  her; 
they  shall  pitch  tfieir  tents  against 
her  round  about;  they  shall  feed 
every  one  in  his  place. 

Jer.  xiii,  20.  Lift  up  your  eyes, 
and  behold  them  that  come  from 
the  north:  where  is  the  flock  that 
was  given  thee,  thy  beautiful 
flock? 

Jer.  xxiii,  4.  And  I  will  set  up 
shepherds  over  them  which  shall 
feed  them:  and  they  shall  fear  no 
more,  nor  be  dismayed,  neither 
shall  they  be  lacking,  saith  the 

XOKD. 

Jer.  xxxi,  10.  Hear  the  word  of 
the  Lord,  O  ye  nations,  and  de- 
clare it  in  the  isles  afar  off,  and 
say.  He  that  scjittered  Israel  will 
gather  him,  and  keep  him,  as  a 
shepherd  doth  his  flock. 

Jer.  xliii,  12.  And  I  will  kindle 
a  fire  in  the  houses  of  the  gods  of 
Egypt;  and  he  shall  burn  them, 
and  carry  them  away  captives:  and 
he  shall  array  himself  with  the 
land  of  Egypt,  as  a  shepherd  put- 
teth  on  his  garment;  and  he  shall 
go  forth  from  thence  in  peace. 

Jer.  XXV,  34-36.  Howl,  ye  shep- 
herds, and  cry;  and  wallow  your- 
selves in  the  ashes,  ye  principal  of 
the  flock:  for  the  days  of  your 
slaughter  and  of  your  dispersions 
are  accomplished;  and  ye  shall  tall 
like  a  pleasant  vessel.  And  the 
shepherds  shall  have  no  way  to 
flee,  nor  the  principal  of  the  flock 
to  escape.  A  voice  of  the  cry  of 
the  shepherds,  arid  an  howhng  of 
tlie  principal  of  the  flock,  shall 
be  heard:  for  the  Lord  hath  spoiled 
their  pasture. 

Jer.  xxxiii,  12,  13.   Thus  saith 

the  Lord  of  hosts;  Again  in  this  rivers  and  in  all    the  inhnbited 

place,  which  is  desolate  without  places  of  the  country.    I  Avill  seek 

man  and  without  beast,  and  In  all  that  which  was  lost,  and  briuj 

the  cities  thereof,  shall  be  an  habl- :  again    that    which    was    driven 

tation  of  shepherds  causing  their  away,  and  will  bind  up  that  tohich 

flocks  to  lie  down.    In  the  cities  was  broken,  and  will  strengthen 

of  the  mountains,  in  the  cities  of  that  which  was  sick:  but  I  will 

the  vale,  and  in  the  cities  of  tho  destroy  the  fat  and  the  strong;  I 


hands  of  him  that  telleth  them, 
saith  the  Lord. 

Ezek.  xxxiv,  1,  2,  4-13, 16-26,  28- 
31.  And  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  me,  saying.  Son  of  man, 
prophesy  against  the  shepherds 
of  Israel,  prophesy,  and  say  unto 
them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God 
unto  the  shepherds;  Woe  be  to  the 
shepherds  of  Israel  that  do  feed 
themselves!  should  not  the  shep- 
herds feed  the  flocks?  The  dis- 
eased have  ye  not  strengthened, 
neither  have  ye  healed  that  which 
was  sick,  neither  have  ye  bound 
up  that  xohich  xoas  broken,  neither 
have  ye  brought  again  that  which 
was  driven  away,  neither  have  ye 
sought  that  which  was  lost;  but 
with  force  and  with  cruelty  have 
ye  ruled  them.  And  they  were 
scattered, because  there  isno  shep- 
herd: and  they  became  meat  to  all 
the  beasts  of  the  field,  when  tliey 
were  scattered.  My  sheep  wan- 
dered through  all  the  mountains, 
and  upon  evei-y  high  hill:  yea,  my 
flock  was  scattered  upon  all  the 
face  of  the  earth,  and  none  did 
search  or  seek  after  them.  There- 
fore, ye  shepherds,  hear  the  word 
of  the  Lord;  As  I  live,  saith  the 
Lord  God,  surely  because  my 
flock  became  a  prej',  and  my  flock 
became  meat  to  every  beast  of  the 
field,  because  there  was  no  shep- 
herd, neither  did  my  shepherds 
search  for  my  floclv,  but  the  shep- 
herds fed  themselves,  and  fed  not 
my  flock;  Therefore,  O  ye  shep- 
herds, hear  the  word  of  the  Lord; 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  Goo;  Behold, 
lam  against  the  shepherds;  and 
I  will  require  my  flock  at  their 
hand,  and  cause  them  to  cease 
from  feeding  the  flock;  neither 
shall  the  shepherds  feed  them- 
selves any  more;  for  I  will  deliver 
my  flock  from  their  mouth  that 
they  may  not  be  meat  lor  them. 
For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  Be- 
hold, I,  even  I,  will  both  search 
my  sheep,  and  seek  them  out. 
As  a  shepherd  seeketh  out  his 
flock  in  the  day  that  he  Is  among 
his  sheep  that  are  scattered;  so 
will  I  seek  out  my  sheep,  and  will 
deliver  them  out  of  all  places 
where  they  have  been  scattered 
in  the  cloudy  and  dark  day.  And 
I  will  bring  them  out  Irom  the 
people,  and  gather  them  from  the 
countries,  and  will  bring  them  to 
their  OAvn  land,  and  feed  them  up- 
on the  mountains  of  Israel  by  the 


south,  and  in  the  land  of  Benjamin, 
and  in  the  places  about  Jerusalem, 
and  in  the  cities  of  Judah,  shall 
the  flocks  pass  again  under  the 


will  feed  them  with  judgment. 
And  as  for  you,  O  my  floclv,  thus 
saith  the  Lord  God;  I'.ehold,  I 
judge  between  cattle  and  cattle, 
40 


between  the  rams  and   the  he- 
goats.    Seemeth  it  a  small  thing 
unto  you  to  have  eaten  up  the 
good  pasture,  but  ye  must  tread 
down  with  your  feet  the  residue 
vi  your   pastures?  and  to   haA^e 
drunk  of  the  deep  waters,  but  ye 
must  foul  the  residue  with  your 
feet?    And  as  for  my  flock,  they 
eat  that  which  ye  have  trodden 
with  your  feet;  and  they  drink 
that  which  ye  have  fouled  with 
your  feet.    Therefore  thus  saith 
the  Lord  God  unto  them;  Behold, 
I,  even  I,  will  judge  between  the 
fat  cattle  and  between  the  lean 
cattle.     Because  ye  have  thrust 
with  side  and  with  shoultler,  and 
pushed  all  the  diseased  with  your 
horns,  till  ye  have  scattered  them 
abroad;  Therefore  M'ill  I  save  my 
flock,  and  they  shall  no  more  be  a 
prey;  and  I  will  judge  between 
cattle  and  cattle.    And  I  will  set 
up  one  shepherd  over  them,  and 
he  shall  feed  them,  even  my  ser- 
vant David;  he  shall    feed  them, 
and  he  shall  be  their  shepherd. 
And  I  the  Lord  will  be  their  God, 
and  my  servant  David  a  prince 
among  them;   I  the    Lord   have 
spoken  it.    And  I  will  make  with 
them  a  covenant  of  peace,  and  will 
cause  the  evil  beasts  to  cease  out 
of  the  land:  and  they  shall  dAvell 
p  ifoly  in  the  wilderness,  and  sleep 
in  the  woods.    And  I  will  make 
them  and  the  places  round  about 
my   hill  a    blessing;    and   I  will 
cause  the  shower  to  come  down 
in  his  season;  there  shall  be  show- 
ers of  blessing-.    And  they  shall 
no  more  be  a  prey  to  the  heathen, 
neither   shall    the    beast  of   the 
land  devour  them;  but  they  shall 
dwell  safely,  and  none  shall  make 
them-niraid.    And  I  Avill  raise  up 
for  them  a  plant  of  renown,  and 
they  shall  be  no  more  consumed 
with  hunger  in  the  land,  neither 
bear  the  shame  of  the  heathen  any 
more.    Thus  shall  they.know  that 
I  the  Lord  their  God  am  with 
them,  and    that  they,  even   the 
house  of  Israel,  ore  my  people, 
saith  the  Lord  God.    And  ye  my 
flock,  the  flock  of  my  pasture,  are 
men,  aiid  I  am  your  God,  saith 
the  Lord  God. 

Amos  i,  2.  And  he  said.  The 
Lord  will  roar  from  Zion,  and 
utter  his  voice  from  Jeriisalom; 
and  the  habitations  of  the  shep- 
herds shall  mourn,  and  the  top  of 
Cannel  shall  wither. 

M/'cah  V,  6.  And  this  man  shall

shall  come  into  our  land:  and 
when  he  shall  tread  in  our

principal  men.

NaJium  iii,  18.  Thy  shepherds 
Blumber,  O  kmg  of  Assyria:  thy 
nobles  shall  dwell  in  the  dust:  thy 
people  is  scattered  upon  the

them. 

Zech.  X,  2,  3.  ....  Therefore 
they  went  their  way  as  a  flock, 
they  were  troubled,  because  there 
was  no  shepherd.  Mine  anger 
■was  kindled  against  the  shepherds, 
and  I  punished  the  goats:  for  the 
LoHD  of  hosts  hath  visited  his 
flock  the  house  of  Judah,  and  hath 
made  them  as  his  goodly  horse  in 
the  battle. 

£e£h.  xi,  3-10, 15-17.  There  is  a 
voice  of  the  howling  of  the  shep- 
herds; for  their  glory  is  spoiled: 
a  voice  of  the  roaring  of  young 
lions;  for  the  pride  of  Jordan  is 
spoiled.  Thus  saith  the  Lokd  my 
God;  Feed  the  flock  of  the  slaugh- 
ter; Whose  possessors  slay  them, 
and  hold  themselves  not  guilty: 
and  they  that  sell  them  say, 
Blessed  be  the  Lobd;  for  I  am 
rich:  and  their  own  shepherds 
pity  them  not.  For  I  will  no 
more  pity  the  inhabitants  of  the 
land,  saith  the  Lord:  but,  lo,  I  will 
deliver  the  men  every  one  into 
his  neighbour's  hand,  and  into  the 
hand  of  his  king:  and  they  shall 
smite  the  land,  and  out  of  their 
hand  I  will  not  deliver  them.  And 
I  will  feed  the  flock  of  slaughter, 
€ve7i  you,  O  poor  of  the  flock. 
And  I  took  unto  me  two  staves; 
the  one  I  called  Beauty,  and  the 
other  I  culled  Bands;  and  I  fed  the 
flock.  Three  shepherds  also  I  cut 
off"  in  one  month;  and  my  soul 
lothed  them,  and  their  soul  also 
abhorred  me.  Then  said  I,  I  will 
not  feed  you:  that  that  dieth,  let  it 
die;  and  that  that  is  to  be  cut  ofl", 
let  It  be  cut  off;  and  let  the  rest 
eat  every  one  the  flesh  of  another. 
And  I  took  my  stalf,  even  Beauty, 
and  ciit  it  asunder,  that  I  might 
break  my  covenant  which  I  had 
made  with  all  the  people.  And 
the  Lord  said  imto  me,  Take  unto 
thee  yet  the  instruments  of  a  fool- 
ish shepherd.  For,  lo,  I  will  raise 
up  a  shepherd  in  the  land,  which 
shall  not  visit  those  that  be  cut 
off,  neither  shall  seek  the  yoimg 
one,  nor  heal  that  that  is  broken, 
nor  feed  that  that  standeth  ^still. 
but  he  shall  eat  the  flesh  of  the 
fat,  and  tear  their  claws  in  pieces. 
Woe  to  the  idol  shepherd  that 
leaveth  the  flock!  the  sword  shall 
be  upon  his  arm,  and  upon  his 
right  eye:  his  arm  shall  be  clean 
dried  up,  and  his  right  eye  shall 
be  utterly  darkened. 

3fatth.  xviii,  12, 13.  How  think 
ye?  if  a  man  hath  an  hundred 
sheep,  and  one  of  them  be  gone 
astray,  doth  he  not  leave  the 
ninety  and  nine,  and  goeth  into 


the  mountains,  and  seeketh  that 
which  is  gone  astrajl*  And  if  so 
be  that  he  find  it,  verily  I  say  un- 
to you,  he  rejoiceth  more  of  that 
sheep,  than  of  the  ninety  and 
nine  which  went  not  a&a-ay. 

3Iatth.  XXV,  32,  33.  And  before 
him  shall  be  gathered  all  nations: 
and  he  shall  separate  them  one 
from  another,  as  a  shepherd  di- 
vidcth  his  sheep  from  the  goats: 
And  he  shall  set  the  sheep  on  his 
right  hand,  but  the  goats  on  the 
left. 

John  X,  7-11,  13-16,  26.  Then 
said  Jesus  unto  them  again. 
Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  I  am 
the  door  of  the  sheep.  All  that 
ever  came  before  me  are  thieves 
and  robbers:  but  the  sheep  did  not 
hear  them.  I  am  the  door:  by  me 
if  any  man  enter  in,  he  shall  be 
saved,  and  shall  go  in  and  out,  and 
find  pasture.  The  thief  cometh 
not,  but  for  to  steal,  and  to  kill, 
and  to  destroy:  I  am  come  that 
they  might  have  life,  and  that 
they  might  have  it  more  abun- 
dantly. I  am  the  good  shepherd: 
the  good  shepherd  giveth  his  life 
for  the  sheep.  The  hireling  fleeth, 
because  he  is  an  hireling,  and 
careth  not  for  the  sheep.  I  am 
the  good  shepherd,  and  know  my 
sheep,  and  am  known  of  mine.  As 
the  Father  knoweth  me,  even  so 
know  I  the  Father:  and  I  lay 
down  my  life  for  the  sheep.  And 
other  sheep  I  have,  which  are  not 
of  this  fold:  them  also  I  must 
bring,  and  they  shall  hear  my 
voice;  and  there  shall  be  one  fold, 
a7id  one  shepherd.  But  ye  be- 
lieve not,  because  ye  are  not  of 
my  sheep,  as  I  said  unto  you. 

John  xxi,  15, 16.  So  when  they 
had  dined,  Jesus  saith  to  Simon 
Peter,  Simon,  son  of  Jonas,  lovest 
thou  me  more  than  these?  He 
saith  unto  him,  Yea,  Lord;  thou 
knowest  that  I  love  thee.  He 
saith  unto  him.  Feed  my  lambs. 
He  saith  to  him  again  the  second 
time,  Simon,  son  of  Jonas,  lovest 
thou  me?  He  saith  unto  him.  Yea, 
Lord;  thou  knowest  that  I  love 
thee.  He  saith  \mto  him,  Feed 
my  sheep. 

Ileb.  xiii,  20 -    Our 

Lord  Jesus,  that  great  Shepherd 
of  the  sheep,  through  the  blood  of 
the  everlasting  covenant. 

1  Peter  v,  4.  And  when  the  chief 
Shepherd  shall  appear,  ye  shall 
receive  a  crown  of  glory  that

MULTIPLICATION. 
Gen.  XXX,  37-43.  And  Jacob 
took  him  rods  of  green  poplar, 
and  of  the  hazel  and  chesnut  tree; 
and  pilled  white  strakes  in  them, 
and  made  the  white  appear  which 
was  in  the  rods.  And  he  set  the 
rods  which  he  had  pilled  before 
41 


the  flocks  In  the  gutters  In  the 
watering  troughs  w  hen  the  flocks 
came  to  drink,  that  they  should 
conceive  when  they  came  to  drink. 
And  the  flocks  conceived  before 
the  rods,  and  brought  forth  cattle 
ringstraked,  speckled,  and  spott- 
ed. And  Jacob  did  separate  the 
lambs,  and  set  the  faces  of  the 
flocks  toward  the  ringstraked,  and 
all  the  brown  in  the  flock  of  La^ 
ban;  and  he  put  his  own  flocks  by 
themselves,  and  put  them  not  un- 
to Laban's  cattle.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  whensoever  the  stronger 
cattle  did  conceive,  that  Jacob 
laid  the  rods  before  the  eyes  of 
the  cattle  in  the  gutters,  that  they 
might  conceive  among  the  rods. 
But  when  the  cattle  were  feeble, 
he  put  them  not  in:  so  the  feebler 
were  Laban's,  and  the  stronger 
Jacob's.  And  the  man  increased 
exceedingly,  and  had  much  cattle, 
and  maidservants,  and  menser- 
vants,  and  camels,  and  asses. 

Gen.  xxxi,  8,  9.  If  he  said  thus. 
The  specified  shall  be  thy  wages; 
then  all  the  cattle  bare  speckled: 
and  if  he  said  thus,  The  ringstrak- 
ed shall  be  thy  hire;  then  bare 
all  the  cattle  ringstraked.  Thus 
God  hath  taken  away  the  cattle 
of  your  father,  and  given  them  to 
me. 

Deuf.  vii,  14.  Thou  shalt  be 
blessed  above  all  people:  there

among  you,  or  among  your  cattle. 

Job  xxi,  10.  Their  bull  gender- 
eth,  and  faileth  not;  their  cow

Fs.  evil,  41.  Yet  setteth  he  the 
poor  on  high  from  aflliction,  and 
maketh  him  families  Uke  a  flock. 

Ps.  cxliv,  13.  That  our  gamers 
mar/  be  full,  affording  all  manner 
of  store:  that  our  sheep  may  bring 
forth  thousands  and  ten  tt  jusands 
in  our  streets. 

(Jant.  Iv,  2.  Thy  teeth  are  like  a 
flock  of  sheep  that  are  even  shorn, 
which  came  up  fiom  the  washing; 
whereof  every  one  bare  twins, 
and  none  is  barren  among  them. 

Ezek.  xxxvi,  37.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  I  will  yet  for  this  be 
enquired  of  by  the  house  of  Israel, 
to  do  it  for  them;  I  will  increase 
them  with  men  like  a  flock.

SYMBOL  OP  MACEDON. 
Da7iiel  viii,  3-7.  Then  I  lifted 
up  mine  eyes,  and  saw,  and,  be- 
hold, there  stood  before  the  river 
a  ram  which  had  tivo  horns:  and 
the  tioo  horns  toere  high;  but  one 
loas  higher  than  the  other,  and  the 
higher  came  up  last.  I  saw  the 
ram  pushing  westward,  and  north- 
ward, and  southward;  so  that  no 
beasts  might  stand  before  him, 
neither  was  there  any  that  could 
deliver  out  of  his  hand;  but  he  did 
according  to  his  will,  and  became 
great.  And  as  I  was  considering, 
behold,  an  he  goat  came  from  the 
west  on  the  face  ot  the  whole 
earth,  and  touched  not  the  ground: 
and  the  goat  had  a  notable  horu 
between  his  eyes.  And  he  came 
to  the  ram  that  had  tico  horns, 
which  I  had  seen  standing  before 
the  river,  and  ran  unto  him  in  the 
fury  of  his  power.  And  I  saw  him 
come  close  unto  the  ram,  and  he 
was  moved  Avith  choler  against 
him,  and  smote  the  ram,  and 
brake  his  two  horns:  and  there 
was  no  power  in  the  ram  to  stand 
before  him,  but  he  cast  him  down 
to  the  ground,  and  stamped  upon 
liim:  and  there  was  none  that 
could  deliver  the  ram  out  of  hia 
hand.

0  Lord;  for  thou  hast  lifted  me 
up,  and  hast  not  made  my  foes  to 
rejoice  over  me.    O  Lord  my  God, 

1  cried  unto  thee,  and  thou  hast 
healed  me.  O  Lord,  thou  hast 
brought  up  my  soul  from  the 
grave:  thou  hast  kept  me  alive, 
that  I  should  not  go  down  to  the 
pit.  Sing  unto  the  Lord,  O  ye 
saints  of  his,  and  give  thanks  at 
the  remembrance  of  his  holiness. 
For  his  anger  endureth  but  a  mo- 
ment; in  his  favour  is  life:  weep- 
ing may  endure  for  a  night,  but 
Joy  Cometh  in  the  morning.  And 
In  my  prosperity  I  said,  I  shall 
never  be  moved.  ]5ord,  by  thy 
favour  thou  hast  made  my  moun- 
tain to  stand  strong:  thou  didst 
hide  tliy  face,  and  I  was  troubled. 
I  cried  to  thee,  O  Lord;  and  unto 
the  Lord  I  made  supplication 
What  profit  is  there  in  my  blood, 
when  I  go  down  to  the  pit?    Shall 


the  dust  praise  thee?  shall  it  de- 
clare thy  truth?  Hear,  O  Lori>, 
and  have  mercy  upon  me:  Lokd, 
be  tliou  my  helper.  Thou  hust 
turned  for  me  my  mourning  into 
dancing:  thou  hast  put  olf  my 
sackcloth,  and  girded  me  with 
gladness;  To  the  end  that  7ny 
glory  may  sing  praise  to  thee,  and 
not  be  silent,  o  Lord  my  God,  I 
will  give  thanks  unto  thee  for 
ever.

ye  shall  lodge  this  night.  Then 
Joshua  called  the  twelve  men, 
whom  he  had  prepared  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel,  out  of  every  tribe 
a  man:  And  Joshua  said  unto

of  Jordan,  and  take  you  up  every 
man  of  you  a  stone  upon  liis 
shoulder,  according  nnto  tlie 
number  of  the  tribes  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel:  That  this  may  be 
a  sign  among  you,  that  when 
your  children  ask  their  fathers  in 
time  to  come,  saying,  What  mian, 
ye  by  these  stones?  Then  ye  shall 
answer  them.  That  the  Avaters  of 
Jordan  Avere  cut  off  before  the 
ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord; 
when  it  passed  over  Jordan,  the 
waters  of  Jordan  were  cut  off: 
and  these  stones  shall  be  for  a 
memorial  unto  the  children  of 
Israel  for  ever.  And  the  children

Avhere  the  feet  of  the  priests 
Avhich  bare  the  ark  of  the  cove- 
nant stood:  and  they  are  there 
unto  this  day.  And  those  tAvelve 
stones,  Avhich  they  took  out  of 
Jordan,  did  Joshua  pitch  in  Gil- 
gal.  And  he  spake  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel,  saying,  When  your

these  stones?

unto  all  the  people,  Behold,  this 
stone  shall  be  a  witness  unto  us;

of  her  palaces;  they  have  made  a 
noise  in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  as 
in  the  day  of  a  solemn  feast.  The 
Loud  hath  purposed  to  destroy 
the  Avail  of  the  tlaughter  of  Zlon; 
he  hath  stretched  out  a  line,  he 
hath  not  AvithilrdAvn  his  hand  from 


ARCHITECTUEE, 


destroying:  therefore  he  made  the 
rampart  and  the  Avail  to  lament; 
they  languished  together.  Her 
g-ates  are  sunk  into  the  ground; 
he  hath  destroyed  and  broken  her 
bars;  her  king  and  her  princes  are 
among  the  Gentiles:  the  law  is  no 
more;  her  prophets  also  find  no 
vision  from  the  Loed.

theiu  which  daub  it  with  untem- 
pered  morter,  that  it  shall  fall: 
there  shall  be  an  overflowing 
Bliower;  and  ye,  0  great  hailstones, 
shall  fall;  and  a  stormy  wind  shall 
rend  it,  Lo,  when  the  wall  is 
fallen,  shall  it  not  be  said  unto 
yon.  Where  is  the  daubing  where- 
with ye  have  daubed  itf  So  will 
I  break  down  the  wall  that  ye 
have  daubed  Avith  untempered 
morter,  and  bring  it  down  to  the 
ground,  so  that  the  foundation 
thereof  shall  be  discovered,  and

shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord.

Lord  commandeth,  and  he  will 
smite  the  great  house  with 
breaches,  and  the  little  house  with 
clefts. 

Zeph.  ii,  13,  15.  And  he  will 
stretch  out  his  hand  against  the 
north,  and  destroy  Assyria;  and 
will  make  Nineveh  a  desolation, 
and  dry  like  a  wilderness.  This 
is  the  rejoicing  city  that  dwelt 
carelessly,  that  said  in  her  heart, 
I  am,  and  there  is  none  beside  me: 
how  is  she  become  a  desolation, 
a  place  for  beasts  to  lie  down  in! 
every  one  that  passeth  by  her 
shall  hiss,  and  Avag  his  hand.

The  strength  of  the  hearers  of 
burdens  is  decayed,  and  there  is 
much  rubbislr,  so  that  we  are  not 
able  to  build  the  wall. 

Isa.  xlv,  13.  I  have  raised  him 
up  in  righteousness,  and  I  will

captives,  not  for  price  nor  reward, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts.

The  repairer  of  the  breach,  The 
restorer  of  paths  to  dwell  in.

solate, is  become  lilie  the  garden  of 
Eden;  and  the  waste  and  de- 
solate and  ruined  cities  aix  be- 
come fenced,  and  are  inhabited. 
Then  tlie  heathen  that  are  left

DEDICATION  OP  A  REBUILT 

*  CITY. 

JV^e^.  xii,  27-38,40-42.  And  at  the 
dedication  of  the  wall  of  Jerusa- 
lem they  sought  the  Levites  out 
of  all  their  places,  to  bring  them 
to  Jerusalem,  to  keep  the  dedica- 
tion with  gladness,  both  with 
thanksgivings,  and  with  singing, 
with  cymbals,  psalteries,  and  with 
harps.  And  the  sons  of  the 
singers  gathered  themselves  to- 
gether, both  out  of  the  plain 
country  round  about  Jerusalem, 
and  from  the  villages  of  Neto- 
phathi;  Also  from  the  house  of 
Gilgal,  and  out  of  the  fields  of 
Geba  and  Azmaveth:  for  the 
singers  had  builded  them  villages 
round  about  Jerusalem.  And 
the  priests  and  the  Levites  puri- 
fied themselves,  and  purified  the 
people,  and  the  gates,  and  the 
wall.     Then  I  brought  up  the 


princes  of  Judah  upon  the  wall 

and  appointed  two  great  com- 
panics  of  them  that  gave  thanks, 
whereof  one  went  on  the  right 
hand  upon  the  wall  toward  the 
dung  gate:  .  And  after  them  went 
Hoshaiah,  and  half  of  tlie  princes  of 
Judah,  And  Azariah,  Ezra,  and 
MeshuUam,  Judah,  and  Benja- 
min, and  Sliemaiah,  and  Jeremiah, 
And  certain  of  the  priests'  sons 
with  trumpets;  narnel//,  Zechariah 
the  son  of  Jonathan,  the  son  of 
Sliemaiah,  the  son  of  Mattaniah,

Zaccur,  the  son  of  Asaph:  And 
his  brethren,  Shemaiah,  and 
Azarael,  Milalai,  Gilalai,  Maai, 
Nothaneel,  and  Judah,  Hanani, 
with  the  musical  instruments  of 
David  the  man  of  God,  and  Ezra 
the  scribe  before  them.  And  at 
the  fountain  gate,  which  was  over 
against  them,  they  went  up  by 
tlio  stairs  of  the  city  of  David,  at 
tho  going  up  of  the  wall,  above 
the  house  of  David,  even  unto  the 
water  gate  eastward.  And  the 
other  company  of  them  that  gave 
thanks  went  over  against  them, 
and  I  after  them,  and  the  half  of 
the  people  upon  the  wall,  from 
beyond  the  tower  of  the  furnaces 
even  unto  the  broad  wall;  So 
stood  the  two  companies  of  them 
that  gave  thanks  in  the  house  of 
(Jod,  and  I,  and  the  half  of  the 
rulers  with  me:  And  the  priests, 
Eliakim,  Maaseiah,  Miniamin, 
Michaiah,  Elioenai,  Zecliariah, 
and  Ilananiah,  with  trumpets; 
And  Maaseiah,  and  Shemaiah, 
and  Eleazar,  and  Uzzi,  and  Jeho- 
hanan,  and  Malchijah,  and  Elam, 
and  Ezer.  And  the  singers  sang 
loud,  with  Jezrahiah  their  over- 
seer. 


AHMY-ARMS. 


THE   MUSTEE. 

UNDER  MOSES. 
Xum.  xxxi,  1-5.  And  the  Lord 
spake  unto  Moses,  saying,  Avenge 
the  children  of  Israel  of  the  Mid- 
ianites:  afterward  shalt  thou  be 
gathered  unto  thy  people.  And 
Moses  spake  unto  the  people, 
saying,  Arm  some  of  yourselves 
unto  the  war,  and  let  them  go 
against  the  Midianites,  and  avenge 
the  Lord  of  Midian.  Of  every 
tribe  a  thousand,  throughout  all 
the  tribes  of  Israel,  shall  ye  send 
to  the  war.  So  there  Avere  de- 
livered out  of  the  thousands  of 
Israel,  a  thousand  of  every  tribe^ 
twelve  thousand  armed  for  war. 

UNDER  EHUD. 
Judges  iii,  27.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  when  he  was  come,  that  he 
blew  a  trumpet  in  the  mountain  of 
Ephraim,  and  the  children  of 
Israel  went  down  with  him  from 
the  mount,  and  he  before  them. 

UNDER  GIDEON. 

Jtidges  vi,  35.  And  he  sent  mes- 
sengers throughout  all  Manasseh; 
who  also  Avas  gathered  after  him: 
and  he  sent  messengers  unto 
Asher,  and  unto  Zebulun,  and  un- 
to Naplitali;  and  they  came  up  to 
meet  tiiem. 

Judges  vii,  1-4,  6-8.  Then 
Jerubbaal,  who  is  Gideon,  and 
all  the  people  that  were  with  him, 
rose  up  early,  and  pitched  beside 
the  well  of  Harod:  so  that  the  host 
of  the  Midianites  were  on  the 
north  side  of  them,  by  the  hill  of 
Moreh,  in  the  valley.  And  the 
LoBu  said  unto  Gideon,  The  peo- 
ple that  are  Avith  thee  are  too 
many  for  me  to  give  the  Midian- 
ites into  their  hands,  lest  Israel 
vaunt  themselves  against  me, 
saying,  Mine  own  hand  hath  sav- 
ed me.  Now  therefore  go  to, 
proclaim  in  the  ears  of  the  people, 
saying,  Whosoever  is  fearful  and 
afraid,  let  him  return  and  depart 
early  from  mount  Gilead.  And 
there  returned  of  the  people 
twenty  and  two  thousand;  and 
there  remained  ten  thousand. 
And  the  Lord  said  unto  Gideon, 
The  people  are  yet  too  many; 
bring  them  doAvn  unto  the  water, 
and  I  will  try  them  for  thee  there: 
and  it  shall  be,  that  of  whom  I  say 
unto  thee,  This  shall  go  with 
thee,  the  same  shall  go  with  thee; 
and  of  whomsoever  I  say  unto 
thee.  This  shall  not  go  with  thee, 
the  same  sliuU  not  go.   And  the 


number  of  them  that  lapped, 
putting  their  hand  to  their  mouth, 
were  three  hundred  men:  but  all 
the  rest  of  the  people  bowed  down 
upon  their  knees  to  drink  water. 
And  the  Lord  said  unto  Gideon, 
By  the  three  hundred  men  that 
lapped  will  I  save  you,  and  deliver 
the  Midianites  into  thine  hand: 
and  let  all  the  other  people  go 
every  man  unto  his  place.  So  the 
people  took  victuals  in  their 
hand,  and  their  trumpets:  and  he 
sent  all  the  rest  of  Israel  every 
man  unto  his  tent,  and  retained 
those  three  hundred  men:  and  the 
host  of  Midian  was  beneath  him 
in  the  valley. 

BY  COMMAND  OF  THE 
STATES'  GENERAL. 
Judges  xx,  1,  2,  8-11,15, 17.  Then 
all  the  children  of  Israel  AS'ent  out, 
and  the  congregation  was  gathex'- 
ed  together  as  one  man,  from  Dan 
even  to  Beer-shcba,  with  the  land 
of  Gilead,  unto  the  Lord  In  Miz- 
peh.  And  the  chief  of  all  the 
people,  even  of  all  the  tribes  of 
Israel,  presented  themselves  in 
the  assembly  of  the  people  of  God, 
four  hundred  thousand  footmen 
that  drew  sword.  And  all  the 
people  arose  as  one  man,  saying, 
We  will  not  any  of  us  go  to  his 
tent,  neither  Avill  we  any  of  us 
turn  into  his  house.  But  now  this 
shall  be  the  thing  which  we  Avill 
do  to  Gibeah;  toe  will  go  up  by  lot 
against  it;  And  we  will  take  ten 
men  of  an  hundred  throughout  all 
the  tribes  of  Israel,  and  an  hun- 
dred of  a  thousand,  and  a  thou- 
sand out  of  ten  thousand,  to  fetch 
victuals  for  the  people,  that  they 
may  do,  when  they  come  to 
Gibeah  of  Benjamin,  according  to 
all  the  folly  that  they  have 
wrought  in  Israel.  So  all  the 
men  of  Israel  were  gathered 
against  the  city,  knit  together  as 
one  man.  And  the  children  of 
Benjamin  were  numbered  at  that 
time  out  of  the  cities  twenty  and 
six  thousand  men  that  drew  sword, 
beside  the  inhabitants  of  Gibeah, 
which  were  numbered  seven  hun- 
dred chosen  men.  And  the  men 
of  Israel,  beside  Benjamin,  were 
numbered  four  hundred  thousand 
men  that  drcAV  sword:  all  these 
were  men  of  war. 

Judges  xxi,  8-10.  And  they 
said,  What  one  is  there  of  the 
tribes  of  Israel  that  came  not  up 
to  Mizpeh  to  the  Lord?  And,  be- 
hold, there  came  none  to  the 
camp  from  Jabesh- gilead  to  the 


assembly.  For  the  people  were 
numbered,  a:i(l,  behold,  th^re  were 
none  of  the  inhabitants  of  Jabesh- 
gilead  there.  And  the  congrega- 
tion sent  thither  twelve  thousand 
men  of  the  valiantest,  and  com- 
manded them,  saying,  Go  and 
smite  the  inhabitants  of  Jabesh- 
gilead  with  the  edge  of  the  sword, 
with  the  women  and  the  children. 

UNDER  THE  KINGS. 
1  Sam.  xi,  4-8.  Then  came  the 
messengers  to  Gibeah  of  Saul,  and 
told  the  tidings  in  the  ears  of  the 
people:  and  all  the  people  lifted 
up  their  voices,  and  wept.  And, 
bcliold,  Saul  came  after  the  herd 
out  of  the  field;  and  Saul  said, 
What  aileth  the  people  that  they 
Avcep?  And  they  told  him  the 
tidings  of  the  men  of  Jabesh.  And 
the  spirit  of  God  came  upon  Saul 
v/iien  lie  lieard  those  tidings,  and 
his  anger  was  kindled  greatly. 
And  he  took  a  yoke  of  oxen,  and 
hewed  them  in  pieces,  and  sent 
them  throughout  all  the  coasts  of 
Israel  by  the  hands  of  messengers, 
saying,  Whosoever  cometh  not 
forth  after  Saul  and  after  Samuel, 
so  shall  it  be  done  unto  his  oxen. 
And  the  fear  of  the  Lord  fell  on 
the  people,  and  they  came  out 
Avith  one  consent.  And  vA'hen  he 
numbered  them  in  Bezek,  the 
children  of  Israel  were  three  hun- 
dred thousand,  and  the  men  of 
Judah  thirty  thousand. 

1  Qhron.  xii,  23-39.  And  these

were  ready  armed  to  the  Avar,  and

cording to  the  word  of  the  Lord. 
The  children  of  Judah  that  bare

house  tAventy  and  tAVo  captains. 
And  of  the  children  of  Benjamin, 
the  kindred  of  Saul,  three  thou-

part  of  them  had  kept  the  Avard  of 
the  house  of  Saul.     And  of  the 
\  children  of  Ephraim  twenty  thou-

of  the  half  tribe  of  Manasseh 
eighteen  tliousand,  which  were 
expressed  by  name,  to  come  and 
make  David  Iving.  And  of  the 
children  of  Is?achar,  which  were 
men  that  had  understanding  of  the 
times,  t©  Icnow  what  Israel  ought 
to  do;  the  heads  of  them  loere  tvfo 
hundred;  and  all  their  brethren 
were  at  their  commandment.  Of 
Zebulun,  such  as  went  lorth  to 
battle,  expert  in  war,  with  all  in- 
struments of  war.  fifty  thousand, 
which  could  keep  rank:  theij  were 
not  of  double  heart.  And  of 
Naphtali  a  thousand  captains,  and 
with  them  with  shield  and  spear 
thirty  and  seven  thousand.  And 
of  the  Danites  expert  in  war 
t>fenty  and  eight  thousand  and 
six  hundred.  And  of  Asher,  such 
as  went  forth  to  battle,  expert  in 
war,  forty  thousand.  And  on  the 
other  side  of  Jordan,  of  the  Reu- 
benites,  and  the  Gadites,  and  of 
the  half  tribe  of  Manasseh,  with 
all  manner  of  instruments  of  war 
for  the  battle,  an  hundred  and 
twenty  thousand.  All  these  men 
of  war,  that  could  keep  rank,  came 
with  a  perfect  heart  to  Hel)rou,  to 
make  David  king  over  all  Israel: 
and  all  the  rest  also  of  Israel  icere 
of  one  heart  to  make  David  king, 
And  there  they  were  with  David 
three  •  days,  eating  and  drinliing: 
for  their  brethren  had  prepared

I  Sam.  XV,  4, 5.  And  Saul  gathered 
the  people  together,  and  number- 
ed them  in  Telaim,  two  hundred 
thousand  footmen,  and  ten  thou- 
sand men  of  Judah.  And  Saul 
came  to  a  city  of  Amalek,  and  laid 
wait  in  the  valley. 

1  Kin.  xii,  21.  And  when  Reho- 
boam  was  come  to  Jerusalem,  he 
assembled  all  the  house  of  Judah, 
with  the  tribe  of  Benjamin,  an 
hundred  and  fourscore  tliousand 
chosen  men,  Avhich  were  warriors, 
to  fight  against  the  house  of  Israel, 
to  bring  the  kingdom  again  to 
Kehoboam  the  son  of  Solomon. 

1/flw.xx,  13-15.  And,  behold, 
there  came  a  prophet  unto  Ahab 
king  of  Israel,  saying,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  Hast  thou  seen  all  this 
great  multitude?  behold,  I  will  de- 
liver it  into  thine  hand  this  day; 
and  thou  shalt  know  that  I  am  the 
Lord.  And  Ahab  said,  By  whom? 
And  he  said.  Thus  saith  the  Lokd, 
Even  by  the  young  men  of  the 
princes  of  the  provinces.  Then 
he  said,  Wlio  shall  order  the 
battle?  And  he  answered,  Thou. 
Then  he  numbered  the  young 
men  of  the  princes  of  the  provinces, 
and  they  were  two  hundred  and 
thirty  two:  and  after  them  ho 
numbered  all  the  people,  even  all

and  Zebadiah,  the  sons  of  Jero-

ites tliere  separated  themselves 
unto  David  into  the  hold  to  the 
wilderness  men  of  might  andmen 
of  war  fit  for  the  battle,  that 
could  handle  shield  and  buckler, 
whose  faces  twere  like  the  faces  of 
lions,  and  were  as  swift  as  the 
roes  upon  the  mountains;  Ezer 
tlie  first,  ObadiaVi  the  second, 
Eliab  the  third,  Mishmannah  the

the  sixth,  Eliel  the  seventh.  Jo-  f 
hanan  the  eighth,  Elzabad  fhe

weir,  of  the  sons  of  Gad,  captains 
of  the  host:  one  of  the  least  teas 
over  a  hundred,  and  the  greatest 
over  a  thousand.  These  are  they 
that  went  over  Jordan  in  the  first 
month,  when  it  had  overflown 
all  his  banks;  and  they  put  to 
flight  all  them  of  the  valleys,  both 
toward  the  east,  and  toward  the 
Avest.  And  there  came  of  the 
children  of  Benjamin  and  Judah 
to  the  hold  unto  David.  And 
David  went  out  to  meet  them, 
and  answered  and  said  unto 
them.  If  ye  be  come  peaceably 
unto  me  to  help  me,  mine  heart 
shall  be  knit  unto  you:  but  if  ye 
be  come  to  betray  me  to  mine 
enemies,  seeing  there  is  no  wrong 
In  mine  hands,  the  God  of  our 
fathers  look  thereon,  and  rebuke 
it.  Then  the  spirit  came  upon 
Amasai,  tvho  tvas  chief  of  the  cap- 
tains, a7id  lie  said,  Thine  are  we, 
David,  and  on  thy  side,  thou  son 
of  Jesse:  peace,  peace  be  unto 
thee,  and  peace  &e  to  thine  helpers; 
for  thy  God  helpeth  thee.  Then 
David  received  them,  and  made 
them  captains  of  the  band.  And 
there  fell  some  of  Manasseh  to 
David,  when  he  came  with  the 
Philistines  against  Saul  to  battle: 
but  they  helped  the:n  not:  for  the 
lords  of  the  Philistines  upon  ad- 
visement sent  him  away,  saying. 
He  will  fall  to  his  master  Saul  to 
the  jeopa7'dy  of  our  hands.  As  he 
went  to  Ziklag,  there  fell  to  him 
of  Manasseh,  Adnah,  and  Jozabad, 
and  Jedlael,  and  Michael,  and 
Jozabad,  and  Elihu,  and  Zilthal, 
captains  of  the  thousands  that 
were  of  Manasseh.  And  they 
helped  David  against  the  band 
of  the  rovers:  for  they  tcere  all 
mighty  men  of  valour,  and  were 
captains  in  the  host.  For  at 
that  time  day  by  day  there 
came  to  David  to  help  him,  until 


tt  wan  a  great  host,  like  the  host 
of  God. 

2  Qhron.  xiii,  3.  And  Abijah  set 
the  battle  in  array  with  an  army 
of  valiant  men  of  war,  even  four 
hundred  thousand  chosen  men: 
Jeroboam  also  set  the  battle  in 
array  against  him  with  eight 
hundred  thousand  chosen  men, 
being  miglity  men  of  valour.

BEGUN  BY  SAUL. 
1  Sam.  xiii,  1,  2.  Saul  reigned 
one  year;  anji  when  he  had  reign- 
ed two  years  over  Israel,  Saul 
chose  him  three  thousand  men  of 
Israel;  whereof  two  tliousand  were 
Avith  Saul  in  Michmash  and  in 
mount  Beth-el,  and  a  thousand 
were  with  Jonathan  in  Gibeah  of 
B-^njamin:  and  the  rest  of  the 
people  he  sent  every  man  to  his 
tent. 

1  Sam.  xlv,  52.  And  there  was 
sore  war  against  the  Philistines 
all  the  days  of  Saul:  and  when 
Saul  saw  any  strong  man,  or  any 
valiant  man,  he  tooii  him  unto 
him. 

ATTEMPED  BY  DAVID. 

2  Sam.  viii,  18.  And  Benaiah  the 
son  of  Jehoiada  was  over  both  the 
Cherethites  and  the  Pelethites; 
and  David's  sons  were  chief 
rulers. 

2  Sam.  XX,  23.  Now  Joab  v;ns 
over  all  the  host  of  Israel:  and 
Benaiah  the  son  of  Jehoiada  iva^ 
over  the  Cherethites  and  over  the 
Pelethites. 

2  Sam.  x\\v,  1-9.  And  again  the 
anger  of  the  Loed  was  kindled 
against  Israel,  and  he  moved 
David  against  them  to  say,  Go, 
number  Israel  and  Judah,  For 
the  king  said  to  Joab  the  captain 
of  the  host,  which  was  with  him. 
Go  now  through  all  the  tribes  of 
Israel,  from  Dan  even  to  Beer- 
sheba,  and  number  ye  the  people, 
that  I  may  know  the  number  of 
the  people.  And  Joab  said  unto 
the  king.  Now  the  Lord  thy  God 
add  luito  the  people,  how  many 
soever  they  be,  an  hundred-fold, 
and  that  the  eyes  of  my  lord  the 
king  may  see  it:  but  why  doth  my 
lord  the  king  delight  in  this  thing? 
Notwithstanding  the  king's  word 
prevailed  against  Joab,  andagainst 
(he  captains  of  the  host.  And 
Joab  and  the  captains  of  the  host 
went  out  from  the  presence  of 
'he  king,  to  number  the  people  of 
Israel.  And  they  passed  over  Jor- 
lan,  and  pitched  in  Aroer,  on  tlie 
light  side  of  the  city  that  Ueth  in 
the  midst  of  the  river  of  Gad,  and 
toward  Jazer:  Then  they  came  to 
Gilead,  and  to  the  land  of  TaLtim- 
hodshi;  and  they  came  to  Dan- 
jaan,  and  about  to  Zidon,  And 
came  to  the  strong  hold  of  Tyre,

and  to  all  the  cities  of  the  Hivltes, 
and  of  the  Canaanit'>s:  and  they 
went  out  to  the  south  of  Judah, 
even  to  Beer-sheba.  So  when 
they  had  gone  through  all  the 
land,  they  came  to  Jerusalem  at 
the  end  of  nine  months  and  twenty 
days.  And  Joab  gave  up  the  sum 
of  the  number  of  the  people  unto 
the  king:  and  there  were  in  Israel 
eight  hund\j  1  thousand  valiant 
men  that  drew  the  sword;  and  the 
men  of  Judah  were  five  hundred 
thousand  men. 

1  Qhron.  xviii,  17.  And  Benaiah 
the  son  of  Jehoiada  loas  over  the 
Cherethites  and  the  Pelethites; 
and  the  sons  of  David  were  chief 
about  the  king.

of  their  account  by  the  hand  of 
Jeiel  the  scribe  and  Maasciah  the 
ruler,  under  the  hand  of  Hananiah,

whole  number  of  the  chief  of  the 
fathers  of  the  mighty  men  of 
valour  toere  two  thousand  and

hand  was  an  army,  three  hundred

mighty  power,  to  help  the  king 
against  the  enemy.

shall  bo  stirred  up,  and  shall  as- 
semble a  multitude  of  great  forces: 
and  one  shall  certainly  come,  and 
overflow,  and  pass  through:  then 
shall  he  return,  and  be  stirred  up, 
even  to  his  fortress.  And  the 
king  of  the  south  shall  be  moved 
with  choler.  and  shall  come  forth

ALLIED  ABMIES. 

Joshua  X,  1,  3-.5.  Now  It  came 
to  pass,  when  Adoni-zedec  king  of 
Jerusalem  had  heard  how  Joshua 
had  taken  Al,  and  had  utterly  de- 
stroyed it;  as  he  had  done  to 
Jericho  and  her  king,  so  ho  had 
done  to  Ai  and  her  king;  and  how 
the  inhabitants  of  Gibeon  had 
made  peace  with  Israel  and  were 
among  them:  Wherefore  Adoni- 
zedec  king  of  Jerusalem  sent 
unto  Hoham  king  of  Hebron,  and 
unto  Piram  king  of  Jarmuth,  and 
unto  Japhia  king  of  Lachish,  and 
unto  Debir  king  of  Eglon,  saying. 
Come  up  unto  me,  and  help  me, 
that  we  may  smite  Gibeon:  for  it 
hath  made  peace  with  Joshua  and 
Avith  the  children  of  Israel. 
Therefore  the  live  kings  of  the 
Amorites,  the  king  of  Jerusalem, 
the  king  of  Hebron,  the  king  of 
Jarmuth,  the  king  of  Lachish,  the 
king  of  Eglon,  gathered  them- 
selves together,  and  went  up,  they 
and  all  their  hosts,  and  encamped 
before  Gibeon,  and  made  war 
against  it. 

Joshua  xi,  1-.5.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  when  Jabin  king  of  Hazor 
had  heard  those  things,  that  he 
sent  to  Jobab  king  of  Madon,  and 
to  the  king  of  Shimron,  and  to 
the  king  of  Achshaph,  And  to  the 
kings  that  were  on  the  north  of 
the  mountains,  and  of  the  plains 
south  of  Chinneroth,  and  in  the 
valley,  and  in  the  borders  of  Dor 
on  the  Avest,  And  to  the  Canaan- 
ite  on  the  east  and  on  the  west, 
and  to  the  Amorite,  and  the 
Hittite,and  the  Pcrizzite,  and  the 
Jebusite  in  the  mountains,  and  to 
the  Uivite  under  Hermon  in  the 
land  of  Mizpeh.  And  they  went 
out,  they  and  all  their  hosts  with 
them,  much  people,  even  as  the 
sand  that  is  upon  the  sea  shore  in 
multitude,  with  horses  and 
chariots  very  many.  And  when 
all  these  kings  were  met  together, 
they  came  and  pitched  togethei 
at  the  waters  of  Merom,  to  light 
against  Israel. 

Judges  i.  3.  And  Judah  said 
unto  Simeon  his  brother,  Come 
up  with  me  Into  my  lot,  that  we 
62 


may  fight  against  the  Canaanites; 
and  I  likewise  will  go  Avith  thee 
into  thy  lot.  So  Shneon  went 
Avith  him. 

2  Sam.  X,  6, 15, 16, 19.  And  when 
the  children  of  Ammon  saAV  that 
they  stank  before  David,  the  chil- 
dredof  Ammon  sent  and  hired  the 
Syrians  of  Beth-rehob,  and  the 
Syrians  of  Zoba,  twenty  thousand 
footmen,  and  of  king  Maacah  a 
thousand  men,  and  of  Ish-tob 
twelve  thousand  men.  And  when 
the  Syrians  saAV  that  they  were 
smitten  before  Israel,  they  gather- 
ed themselves  together.  And 
Hadarezer  sent,  and  brought  out 
the  Syrians  that  were  beyond  the 
river:  and  they  came  to  Helam; 
and  Shobach  the  captain  of  the 
host  of  Hadarezer  went  before 
them.  And  when  all  the  kings 
tliat  were  servants  to  Hadarezer 
saw  that  they  Avere  smitten  before 
Israel,  they  made  peace  Avith 
Israel,  and  served  them.  So  the 
Syrians  feared  to  help  the  chil- 
dren of  Ammon  any  more. 

1  lyings  XV,  20.  So  Ben-hadad 
hearkened  unto  king  Asa,  and 
sent  the  captains  of  the  hosts 
which  he  had  against  the  cities  of 
Israel,  and  smote  Ijon,  and  Dan, 
and  Abel-beth-maachah,  and  all 
Ciimeroth,  with  all  the  land  of 
Naphtali. 

1  Kings  xxii,  1-4.  And  they  con- 
tinued three  years  without  AA\ar 
between  Syria  and  Israel.  And  it 
came  to  pass  in  the  third  year, 
that  Jehoshaphat  the  king  of 
Judah  came  doAvn  to  the  king  of 
Israel.  And  the  king  of  Israel 
said  unto  his  servants,  KnoAV  ye 
that  Ramoth  in  Gilead  is  our's, 
and  we  he  still,  and  take  it  not 
out  of  the  hand  of  the  king  of 
Syria?  And  he  said  unto  Jehosli- 
aphat,  Wilt  thou  go  Avith  me  to 
battle  to  Ramoth  -  gilead?  And 
Jehoshaphat  said  to  the  king  of 
Israel,  I  am  as  thou  art,  my  peo- 
ple as  thy  people,  my  horses  as 
thy  horses. 

2  Kings  xvi,  9.  And  the  king  of 
Assyria  hearlvcned  unto  him:  for 
the  king  of  Assyria  went  up 
against  Damascus,  and  took  it, 
and  carried  the  people  of  it  captive 
to  Kir,  and  slew  Rezin. 

2  Kings  xviii,  19-21.  And  Rab- 
shakeh  said  unto  them,  Speak  ye 
noAV  to  Hezokiah,  Thus  saith  the 
great  king,  the  king  of  Assyria, 
What  confidence  is  this  Avheroin 
tliou  trustest?  Thou  sayest,  (but 
tliey  are  but  vain  words.)  /  hax-e 
counsel  and  strength  for  the  war. 
Now  on  Avhom  dost  thou  trust, 
that  thou  rebellest  against  me? 
NoAV,  behold,  thou  trustest  upon 
the  staff  of  this  bruised  reed,  even 
upon  Egypt,  on  Avhicli  if  a  man 
lean,  it  will  go  into  his  hand,  and 
pierce  it:  so  is  Pharaoh  king  of 
Egypt  unto  all  that  trust  on  him. 


ARMY— ARMS. 


1  (piron.  xlx,  6, 7.  And  when  the 

children  of  Amnion  saw  tliat  they 
had  made  themselves  odious  to 
David,  Ilannn  and  the  children  of 
Amraon  sent  a  thousand  talents  of 
silver  to  hire  them  chariots  and 
horsemen  oi^t  of  Mesopotamia, 
and  out  of  '  Syria-maachah,  and 
out  of  Zobah.  So  they  hired 
thirty  and  two  thousand  chariots, 
and  the  king  of  Maachah  and  his 
people;  who  came  and  pitclied  be- 
fore Medeba.  And  the  children 
of  Ammon  gathered  themselves 
together  from  their  cities,  aud 
came  to  battle. 

2  Qhron.  xvi,  2-9.  Then  Asa 
brought  out  silver  and  gdd  out  of 
the  treasures  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord  and  of  the  king's  house,  and 
sent  to  Ben-hadad  king  of  Syria, 
that  dwelt  at  Damascus,  saying. 
There  is  a  league  between  me  and 
thee,  as  there  was  between  my 
father  and  thy  father:  behold,  I 
have  sent  thee  silver  and  gold;  go, 
break  thy  league  with  Baasha  king 
of  Israel,  that  he  may  depart  from 
me.  And  Ben-hadad  hearkened 
unto  king  Asa,  and  sent  the  cap- 
tains of  his  armies  against  the 
cities  of  Israel;  and  they  smote 
Ijon,  and  Dan,  and  Abelmaim,  and 
all  the  store  cities  of  Naphtali. 
And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Baasha 
heard  it,  that  he  left  oflf  building 
of  Ramah.  and  let  his  work  cease. 
Then  Asa  the  king  took  all  Judah; 
and  they  carried  away  the  stones 
of  Rainah,  and  the  timber  thereof, 
wherewith  Baasha  was  building; 
and  he  built  therewith  Geba  and 
Mizpah.  And  at  that  time  Han- 
ani  the  seer  came  to  Asa  king  of 
Judah.  and  said  unto  him,  Be- 
cause thou  hast  relied  on  the 
king  of  Syria,  and  not  relied  on 
the  Lord  thy  God,  therefore  is 
the  liost  of  the  king  of  Syria 
escaped  out  of  thine  hand.  Were 
not  the  Ethibpians  and  the  Lu- 
bims  a  huge  host,  with  very  many 
chariots  and  horsemen.'  yet,  be- 
cause thou  didst  rely  on  the 
Lord,  he  delivered  them  into 
thine  hand.  For  the  eyes  of  the 
Lord  run  to  and  fro  throughout 
the  whole  earth,  to  shew  himself 
strong  in  the  behalf  of  them 
whose  heart  is  perfect  toward 
him.  Herein  thou  hast  done  fool- 
ishly; therefore  from  henceforth 
thou  Shalt  have  wars. 

2  Qhron.  xviii,  1,  3.  Now  Jeho- 
Bhaphat  had  riches  and  honour  in 
abundance,  and  joined  affinity  with 
Ahab.  And  Ahab  king  of  Israel 
said  unto  Jehoshaphat  king  of 
Judah,  Wilt  thou  go  with  me  to 
Ramoth-gilead?  And  he  answer- 
ed him,  I  am  as  thou  art,  and  my 
people  as  thy  people;  and  we  will 
he  with  thee  in  the  war. 

2  Qhron.  XX,  1.  It  came  to  pass 
after  this  also,  that  the  children 
of  Moab,  and  the  children  of  Am- 


mon, and  with  them  other  beside 
the  Ammonites,  came  against  Je- 
hoshaphat to  battle. 

2  Chron.  xxii,  5.  He  walked  also 
after  their  counsel,  and  went  with 
Jehoram  the  son  of  Ahab  king  of 
Israel  to  war  against  Hazael  king 
of  Syria  at  Ramoth-gilead:  and  the 
Syrians  smote  Joram. 

2  Qhron.  xxviii,  16.  20.  At  that 
time  did  king  Ahaz  send  unto  the 
kings  of  Assyria  to  help  him.  And 
Tilgath-pilneser  king  of  Assyria 
came  unto  him,  and  distressed 
him,  but  strengthened  him  not. 

i^.lxxxiii,  1-12,15-18.  Keep  not 
thou  silence,  O  Gcd:  hold  not  thy 
peace,  and  be  not  still,  O  God. 
For,  lo,  thine  enemies  make  a 
tumult,  and  they  that  hate  thee 
have  lifted  up  the  head.  They 
have  taken  crafty  counsel  against 
thy  people,  and  consulted  against 
thy  hidden  ones.  They  have  said, 
Come,  and  let  us  cut  them  off 
from  being  a  nation;  that  the  name 
of  Israel  may  be  no  more  in  re- 
membrance. For  they  have  con- 
sulted together  with  one  consent: 
they  are  confederate  against 
thee:  The  tabernacles  of  Edom. 
and  the  Ishmaelites;  of  Moab,  and 
the  Hagarenes;  Gebal,  and  Am- 
mon, and  Amalek;  the  Philistines 
with  the  inhabitants  of  Tyre; 
Assur  also  is  joined  with  them: 
they  have  holpen  the  children  of 
Lot.  Selah.  Do  unto  them  as 
unto  the  Midianites;  as  to  Sisera,. 
as  to  Jabin,  at  the  brook  of  Kison: 
Which  perished  at  En-dor:  they 
became  as  dung  for  the  earth. 
Make  their  nobles  like  Oreb,  and 
like  Zeeb:  yea,  all  their  princes  as 
Zebah,  and  as  .Zalmunna:  Who 
said,  Let  us  take  to  ourselves  the 
houses  of  God  in  possession.  So 
persecute  them  with  thy  tempest, 
and  make  them  afraid  with  thy 
storm.  Fill  their  faces  with 
shame;  that  they  may  seek  thy 
name.  O  Lord.  Let  them  be  con- 
founded and  troubled  for  ever; 
yea,  let  them  be  put  to  shame, 
and  perish:  That  men  may  know 
that  Ihou,  whoso  name  alone  is 
JEHOVAH,  art  the  most  high 
over  all  the  earth. 

Isa.  vii,  1-9.  And  it  came  to 
pass  in  the  days  of  Ahaz  the  son 
of  Jotham,  the  son  of  Uzziah, 
king  of  Judah,  that  Rezin  the 
king  of  Sj'ria,  and  Pekah  the  son 
of  Remaliah,  king  of  Israel,  went 
up  toward  Jerusalem  to  war 
against  it,  but  could  not  prevail 
against  it.  And  it  was  told  the 
house  of  David,  saying,  Syria  is 
confederate  with  Ephraim,  And 
his  heart  was  moved,  and  the 
heart  of  his  people,  as  the  trees 
of  the  wood  are  moved  with  the 
wind.  Then  said  the  Lord  unto 
Isaiah,  Go  forth  noAV  to  meet 
Ahaz,  thou,  and  Shear-jashub  thy 
sou,  at  the  end  of  the  conduit  of 
63 


the  npper  pool  In  the  highway  of 
the  fuller's  field;  And  say  unto 
him.  Take  heed,  and  be  quiet;  fear 
not,  neither  be  faint-hearted  for 
the  two  tails  of  these  smoking 
firebrands,  for  the  fierce  anger  of 
Rezin  with  Syria,  and  of  the  son 
of  Remaliah.  Because  Syria, 
Ephraim,  and  the  son  of  Remaliah, 
have  taken  evil  counsel  against 
thee,  saying,  Let  us  go  up  against 
Judah,  and  vex  it,  and  let  us 
make  a  breach  therein  for  ns,  and 
set  a  king  in  the  midst  of  it,  even 
the  son  of  Tabeal:  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God,  It  shall  not  stand, 
neither  shall  it  come  to  pass.  For 
the  head  of  Syria  is  Damascus, 
and  the  head  of  Damascus  is 
Rezin;  and  within  threescore  and 
five  years  shall  Ephraim  be 
broken,  that  it  be  not  a  people. 
And  the  head  of  Ephraim  is 
Samaria,  and  the  head  of  Samaria 
is  Remaliah's  son.  If  ye  will  not 
believe,  surely  ye  shall  not  be 
established. 

Isa.  viii,  9-12.  Associate  your- 
selves, O  ye  people,  and  ye  shall 
be  broken  in  pieces;  and  give  ear 
all  ye  of  far  countries:  gird  your- 
selves, and  ye  shall  be  broken  in 
pieces;  gird  yourselves,  and  ye 
shall  be  broken  in  pieces.  Take 
counsel  together,  and  it  shall 
come  to  nought;  speak  the  word, 
and  it  shall  not  stand:  for  God  is 
with  us.  For  the  Lord  spake 
thus  to  me  with  a  strong  hand, 
and  instructed  me  that  I  should 
not  Avalk  in  the  way  of  this  peo- 
ple, saying,  Say  ye  not,  A  con- 
federacy, to  all  them  to  whom  this 
people  shall  say,  A  confederacy; 
neither  fear  ye  their  fear,  nor  be 
afraid. 

Isa.  liv,  15.  Behold,  they  shall 
surely  gather  together,  but  not  by 
me:  whosoever  shall  gather  to- 
gether against  thee  shall  lall  for 
thy  sake. 

THE   LEAGUE   WITH    THE 

CUNNING  GIBEONITES. 
Josh.  Ix,  1-27.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  when  all  the  king.s  which 
were  on  this  side  Jordan,  in  the 
hills,  and  in  the  valleys,  and  in 
all  the  coasts  of  the  great  sea 
over  against  Lebanon,  the  llittite, 
and  the  Amorite,  the  Canaanite, 
the  Perizzite,  the  Hivite,  and  the 
Jebusite,  heard  thereof;  That  they 
gathered  themselves  together,  to 
fight  with  Joshua  and  witli  Israel, 
with  one  accord.  And  when  the 
inhabitants  of  Gibeon  heard  what 
Joshua  had  done  unto  Jericho  and 
to  Ai,  They  did  work  wilily,  and 
went  and  made  as  if  they  had 
been  ambassadors,  and  took  old 
sacks  upon  their  asses,  and  wine 
bottles,  old,  and  rent,  and  bound 
up;  And  old  shoes  and  clouted 
upon  their  feet,  and  old  garments 
upon  them;  and  all  the  bread  of

their  provision  was  dry  and 
mouldy.  And  they  ■went  to 
Joshua  unto  the  camp  at  Gil£?al, 
and  said  unto  him,  and  to  the  men 
of  Israel,  We  be  come  from  a  far 
country:  now  therefore  make  ye 
a  league  with  us.  And  the  lyen 
of  Israel  said  unto  the  Ilivites, 
Peradventure  ye  dwell  among  us; 
ind  hoAv  shall  we  make  a  league 
with  you?  And  they  said  unto 
Joshua.  We  are  thy  servants. 
And  fjoshua  said  unto  them,  Who 
are  yc?  and  from  whence  come 
ye?  And  they  said  unto  him, 
From  a  very  far  country  thy  ser- 
vants are  come  because  of  the 
name  of  the  Lord  thy  God:  for  we 
have  heard  tlie  fame  of  him,  and 
all  that  he  did  in  Egypt,  And  all 
that  he  did  to  the  two  kings  of 
the  Amorites,  that  %oere  beyond 
Jordan,  to  Sihon  king  of  Hesh- 
bon,  and  to  Og  king  of  Baashan, 
wliich  toas  at  Ashtaroth.  Where- 
fore our  elders  and  all  the  inhabi- 
tants of  our  country  spake  to  us, 
saying.  Take  victuals  with  you  for 
the  journey,  and  go  to  meet  them, 
and  say  unto  them.  We  are  your 
servants:  therefore  now  make  ye 
a  league  with  us.  This  our  bread 
we  took  hot /or  our  provision  out 
of  our  houses  on  the  day  we  came 
forth  to  go  unto  you;  but  noAV,  be- 
hold, it  is  dry,  and  it  is  mouldy: 
and  these  bottles  of  wine,  Avhich 
we  filled,  v:ere  new;  and,  behold, 
they  be  rent:  and  these  our  gar- 
ments and  our  shoes  are  become 
old  by  reason  of  the  very  long 
journey.  And  the  men  took  of 
their  victuals,  and  asked  not  coun- 
sel at  the  mouth  of  the  Lord. 
And  Joshua  made  peace  with 
them,  and  made  a  league  with 
them,  to  let  them  live:  and  the 
princes  of  the  congregation  sware 
unto  them.  And  it  came  to  pass 
at  the  end  of  three  days  after 
they  had  made  a  league  with 
them,  that  they  heard  that  they 
vjere  their  neighbours,  and  that 
they  dwelt  among  them.  And 
the  children  of  Israel  journeyed, 
and  came  unto  their  cities  on  the 
third  day.  Now  their  cities  were 
Gibeon,  and  Chephirah,  and 
Beeroth,  and  Kirjath-jearlm.  And 
the  children  of  Israel  smote  them 
not,  because  the  princes  of  the 
congregation  had  sworn  unto 
them  by  the  Lord  God  of  Israel. 
And  all  the  congregation  mur- 
mured against  the  princes.  But 
all  the  princes  said  unto  all  the 
congregation.  We  have  sworn 
unto  them  by  the  Lord  God  of 
Israel:  now  therefore  we  may 
not  touch  them.  This  we  will 
do  to  them;  we  will  even  let 
them  live,  lest  wrath  be  upon  us, 
because  of  the  oath  which  we 
Bware  unto  thorn.  And  the  prin- 
ces said  unto  them,  Let  them  live; 
but  lot  them  be  hewers  of  wood 
ana  drawers  of  water  unto  all  the 


congregation;  as  the  princes  had 
promised  them.  And  Joshua 
called  for  them,  and  he  spake  un- 
to them,  saying,  Wherefore  have 
ye  beguiled  us,  saying,  We  are 
very  far  from  you;  when  ye  dwell 
among  us?  Now  therefore  ye  are 
cursed,  and  there  shall  none  of 
you  be  freed  from  being  bondmen, 
and  hewers  of  wood  and  drawers 
of  water  for  the  house  of  my  God. 
And  they  answered  Joshua,  and 
said,  Because  it  was  certainly  told 
thy  servants,  how  that  the  Lord 
thy  God  commanded  his  servant 
Moses  to  give  you  all  the  land, 
and  to  destroy  all  the  inhabitants 
of  the  land  from  before  you,  there- 
fore we  were  sore  afraid  of  our 
lives  because  of  you,  and  have 
done  this  thing.  And  now,  be- 
hold, we  are  in  thine  hand:  as  it 
seemeth  good  and  right  unto  thee 
to  do  unto  us,  do.  And  so  did  he 
unto  them,  and  delivered  them 
out  of  the  hand  of  the  children  of 
Israel,  that  they  slew  them  not. 
And  Joshua  made  them  that  day 
hewers  of  wood  and  drawers  of 
water  for  the  congregation,  and 
for  the  altar  of  the  Lord,  even 
unto  this  day,  in  the  place  which 
he  should  choose.

Lord  hath  sought  him  a  man 
after  his  own  heart,  and  the  Lord 
hath  commanded  him  to  be  cap- 
tain over  his  people,  because  thou 
hast  not  kept  tliat  which  the 
Lord  commanded  thee. 

1  Sam.  xviii,  5, 12-16,  30.  And 
David  went  out  whithersoever 
Saul  sent  him,  and  behaved  him- 
self wisely:  and  Saul  set  him  over 
the  men  of  war,  and  he  was  ac- 
cepted in  the  sight  of  all  the  peo- 
ple, and  also  in  the  sight  of  Saul's 
servants.  And  Saul  was  afraid  of 
David,  because  the  Lord  Avas  with 
him,  and  was  departed  from  Saul. 
Therefore  Saul  removed  him  from 
him,  and  made  him  his  captain 
over  a  thousand;  and  he  went  out 
and  came  in  before  the  people. 
And  David  behaved  himself  wise- 
ly in  all  his  ways;  and  the  Lord 
was  with  him.  Wherefore  when 
Saul  saw  that  he  behaved  himself 


very  wisely,  he  was  afraid  of  him. 
But  all  Israel  and  Judah  loved 
David,  because  he  went  out  and 
came  in  before  them.  Then  the 
princes  of  the  Philistines  went 
forth,  and  it  came  to  pass,  affcr 
they  went  forth,  that  David  be- 
haved himself  more  wisely  than 
all  the  se^'vants  of  Saul;  so  that 
his  name  was  much  set  by. 

2  Sam.  iv.  1,  2.  And  when  Saul's 
son  heard  that  Abner  was  dead  iu 
Hebron,  his  hands  were  feeble, 
and  all  the  Israelites  were 
troubled.  And  Saul's  son  had  two 
men  that  were  captains  of  bands: 
the  name  of  the  one  loas  Baanah, 
and  the  name  of  the  other  Rechab, 
the  sons  of  Rimmon  a  Beerothite, 
of  the  children  of  Benjamin:  (for 
Beeroth  also  was  reckoned  to 
Benjamin.) 

2  Sam.  V,  1,'2.  Then  came  all  the 
tribes  of  Israel  to  David  unto 
Hebron,  and  spake,  saying,  Be- 
hold, we  are  thy  bone  and  thy 
flesh.  Also  in  time  past,  when 
Saul  was  king  over  us,  thou  wast 
he  that  leddest  out  and  brought- 
est  in  Israel:  and  the  Lord  said  to 
thee.  Thou  shalt  feed  my  people 
Israel,  and  thou  shalt  be  a  captain 
over  IsraeL 

UNDER  DAVID. 

2  Sam.  V,  8.  And  David  said  on 
that  day,  Whosoever  getteth  up 
to  the  gutter,  and  smiteth  the 
Jebusites,  and  the  lame  and  the 
blind,  that  are  hated  of  David's 
soul,  he  shall  be  chief  and  captain. 
Wherefore  they  said.  The  blind 
and  the  lame  shall  not  come  into 
the  house. 

2  Sam.  xvii,  25.  And  Absalom 
made  Amasa  captain  of  the  host , 
instead  of  Joab:  which  Amasa  toas  j 
a  man's  son,  whose  name  was 
Ithra  an  Israelite,  that  went  in  to 
Abigail  the  daughter  of  Nahash, 
sister  to  Zeruiah  Joab's  mother. 

2  Sam.  xviii,  1.  And  David  num- 
bered the  people  that  were  with 
him,  and  set  captains  of  thousands 
and  captains  of  hundreds  over 
them, 

2  Sam.  xlx,  13.  And  say  ye  to 
Amasa,  Art  thou  not  of  my  bone, 
and  of  my  flesh?  God  do  so  to  me, 
and  more  also,  if  thou  be  not  cap- 
tain of  the  host  before  me  contin- 
ually in  the  room  of  Joab. 

2  Sam.  XX,  23.  Now  Joab  was 
over  all  the  host  of  Israel;  and 
Benaiah  the  son  of  Jehoiada  was 
over  the  Cherethites,  and  over  the 
Pelethites. 

2  Sam.  xxili,  22, 23.  These  <A/«(7S 
did  Benaiah  the  son  of  Jehoiada 
and  had  the  name  among  three 
mighty  men.  Ho  was  more 
honourable  than  the  thirty,  but  he 
attained  not  to  the  first  three. 
And  David  set  him  over  hiseruard.

1  Qhron.  xi,  6.  And  David  said, 
Whosoever  smiteth  the  Jebusites 
first  shall  be  chief  and  captain.  So 
Joab  the  son  of  Zeruiah  went 
first  up,  and  was  chief.

them,  with  shield  and  spear, 
tfcirty  and  seven  thousand. 

1  QhroJi.  xxvii,  1-24,  34.  Now 
the  children  of  Israel  afler  their 
number,  to  loit,  the  chief  fathers 
and  captains  of  thousands  and 
hundreds,  and  their  officers  that 
served  the  king  in  any  matter  of 
the  courses,  which  came  in  and 
went  out  month  by  month  through- 
out all  the  months  of  the  year,  of 
every  course  were  twenty  and 
four  thousand.  Over  the  first 
course  for  the  first  month  was

This  is  that  Benaiah,  who  was 
mighty  among  the  thirty,  and 
above  the  thirty:  and  in  his  course 
ivas  Ammizabad  liis  son.  The 
fourth  captain  for  the  fourth  month

In  his  course  icere  twenty  and  four 
thousand.  Furthermore  over  the 
tribes  of  Israel:  tlie  ruler  of  the 
lleubenites  was  Eliezer  the  son  of 
Zichri:  of  the  Simeonites,  Shepha- 
tiah  the  son  of  Maachah:  Of  tlie 
Levites,  Hashabiah  the  son  of 
Kemuel:  of  the  Aaronites,  Zadok: 
Of  Judah.  Elihu,  one  of  the  breth-

These  toere  the  princes  of  the 
tribes  of  Israel.  But  David  took 
not  the  number  of  them  from 
twenty  years  old  and  under:  be- 
cause the  Lord  had  said  he  would 
increase  Israel  like  to  the  stars  of 
the  heavens.  Joab  thB  son  of 
Zeruiah  began  to  number,  but  he 
finished  not,  because  there  fell 
wrath  for  it  against  Israel;  neither 
was  the  number  put  in  the  ac- 
count of  the  chronicles  of  king 
David.  And  after  Ahithophel 
louti  Jehoiada  the  son  of  Benaiah, 
and  Abiathar:  and  the  general  of 
the  king's  army  was  Joab. 

UNDER  THE  OTHER  KINGS. 

1  Kings  xvi,  16.  And  the  people 
that  were  encamped  heard  say, 
Zimri  hath  conspired,  and  hath 
also  slain  the  king:  wherefore  all 
Israel  made  Omri,  the  captain  of 
the  host,  king  over  Israel  that  day 
in  the  camp. 

2  Kings  i,  9,  11.  Then  the  king 
sent  unto  him  a  captain  of  flffy 
with  his  fifty.  And  he  went  up

him,  Tiiou  man  of  God,  the  king 
hath  said,  Come  down.  Again 
also  he  sent  unto  him  another 
captain  of  fifty  with  his  fifty.

king  said.  Come  down  quickly. 

2  Kings  Ix,  5.  And  when  he

us?  And  he  said.  To  thee,  O  caj)- 
tain.

Have  her  forth  without  the 
ranges:  and  him  that  followeUi 
her  kill  with  the  sword.  For  the 
priest  had  said,  Let  her  not  be 
slain  in  the  house  of  the  Lord.

the  Gileadites:  and  he  killed  him, 
and  reigned  in  his  room.

thou  turn  away  the  face  of  one 
captain  of  the  least  of  ray  master's 
servants,  and  put  thy  trust  on 
Egypt  for  chariots  and  for  horse- 
men?

and  he  took  Jeremiah  the  prophet, 
saying.  Thou  fallest  away  to  the 
Chaldeans. 

Jer.  xl,  2,  5.  And  the  captain  of 
the  guard  took  Jeremiah,  and  said 
unto  him.  The  Lord  thy  God  hath 
pronounced  this  evil  upon  this 
place.  Now  while  he  was  not 
yet  gone  back,  he  said,  Go  back 
also  toGedaliah  the  son  of  Ahikam 
the  son  of  Shaphan,  whom  the 
king  of  Babylon  hath  made  gov- 
ernor over  the  cities  of  Judah, 
and  dwell  with  him  among  the 
people:  or  go  wheresoever  it 
seemeth  convenient  unto  thee  to 
go.  So  the  captain  of  the  guard 
gave  him  victuals  and  a  reward, 
and  let  him  go.

not  worthy  that  thou  shouldest 
come  under  my  roof:  but  speak 
the  word  only,  and  my  servant 
shall  be  healed. 

Matth.  xxvil,  54.  Now  when  the 
centurion,  and  they  that  were

having  more  perfect  knowledge 
of  that  way,  ho  deferred  them, 
and  said.  When  Lysias  the  chief 
captain  shall  come  down,  I  will 
know  the  uttermost  of  your  mat- 
ter. And  he  commanded  a  cen-

the  centurion  believed  the  master 
and  the  owner  of  the  ship,  moro 
than  those  things  which  Avero 
spoken  by  Paul.  But  tlie  centur- 
ion, willing  to  save  Paul,  kept 
them  from  their  purpose;  and 
commanded    that    they    which 


could  swim  should  cast  themselves 
first  into  the  sea,  and  get  to  land.

Nay;  but  as  captain  of  the  host  of 
the  Lord  am  I  now  come.  And 
Joshua  fell  on  his  face  to  the

unto  him.  What  saith  my  lord 
unto  his  servant?  And  the  cap- 
tain of  the  Lord's  host  said  unto 
Josliua,  Loose  thy  shoe  from  off 
thy  foot;  for  the  place  whereon 
thou  standest  is  holy.  And  Joshua 
did  so.

not  prosper.

the  captain  of  their  salvation  per-

WAR   TRUMPET. 

FORM  AND  USE, 
Num.  X,  2-9,  Make  thee  two 
trumpets  of  silver;  of  a  whole 
piece  Shalt  thou  m;ike  them:  that 
thou  maycst  use  them  for  the 
calling  of  the  assembly,  and  for 
the  journeying  of  the  camps.  And 
when  they  shall  blow  with  them, 
all  the  assembly  shall  assemble 
themselves  to  thee  at  the  door  of 
the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation. 
And  if  they  blow  hut  with  one 
trumpet,  then  the  i)rinces,  which 
are  lieads  of  the  thousands  of 
Israel,  shall  gather  themselves 
unto  thee.  When  ye  blow  an 
alarm,  then  the  camps  that  lie  on 
the  east  parts  shall  go  forward. 
When  ye  blow  an  alarm  the  second 
time,  then  the  camps  that  lie  on 
the  south  side  shall  take  their 
journey:  they  shall  blow  an  alarm 
for  their  journeys.  But  when  the 
congregation  is  to  be  gathered  to- 
gether, ye  shall  blow,  but  ye  shall 
not  sound  an  alarm.  And  the  sons 
of  Aaron,  the  priests,  shall  blow

throughout  your  generations.

be  remembered  before  the  Lord 
your  God,  and  ye  shall  be  saved 
from  your  enemies,

priests  shall  blow  with  the  trum-

them,  take  up  the  ark  of  the 
covenant,  and  let  seven  priests 
bear  seven  trumpets  of  rams' 
horns  before  the  ark  of  the 
Lord.  And  he  said  unto  the  peo- 
ple, Pass  on,  and  compass  the  city, 
and  let  him  that  is  armed  pass  on

spoken  unto  the  people,  that  the 
seven  priests  bearing  the  seven 
trumpets  of  rams'  horns  passed  on 
before  the  Lord,  and  blew  with 
the  trumpets:  and  the  ark  of  the

before  the  priests  that  blew  with 
the  trumpets,  and  the  rereward 
came  alter  the  ark,  the  priests 
going  on,  and  blowing  with  the 
trumpets.  And  Joshua  rose  early 
in  the  morning,  and  the  priests 
took  up  the  ark  of  the  Lord.  And 
seven  priests  bearing  seven  trum- 
pets of  rams'  horns  before  the

going  on,  and  blowing  with  the

wise: and.  behold,  when  I  come  to 
the  outside  of  the  camp,  it  shall  be 
that,  as  I  do,  so  shall  ye  do.  When 
I  blow  with  a  trumpet,  I  and  all 
that  are  with  me,  then  blow  ye  the 
trumpets  also  on  every  side  of  all 
the  camp,  and  say.  The  stoord  of 
the  Lord,  and  of  Gideon.  So 
Gideon,  and  the  hundred  meu 
that  were  with  him,  came  tm'o

ginning of  the  middle  watcu;  and 
they  had  but  newly  set  the  watch: 
and  they  blew  the  trumpets,  and 
bra  Ice  the  pitchers  that  were  in

pened to  bo  there  a  man  of  Belial,

have  no  part  in  David,  neither 
have  we  inheritance  In  the  son  of 
Jesse:  every  man  to  his  tents,  O 
Israel.  Then  the  Avoman  went 
unto  all  the  people  in  her  wisdom. 
And  they  cut  off  the  head  of 
Sheba  the  son  of  Bichri,  and  cast

every  one  had  his  swoi'd  girded 
by  his  side,  and  so  builded.  And 
he  that  sounded  the  trumpet  vas 
by  me.  And  I  said  unto  the 
nobles,  and  to  the  rulers,  and  to 
the  rest  of  the  people,  The  work 
is  great  and  large,  and  Ave  are 
separated  upon  the  wall,  one  far 
from  another.  In  Avhat  place 
therefore  ye  hear  the  sound  of  the 
trumpet,  resort  j'e  thither  unto

cause thou  hast  heard,  O  my  soiil, 
the  sound  of  the  trumpet,  the 
alarm  of  Avar, 

Eneli.  vii,  14.  They  have  bloAvn

and  taketh  not  warning;  if  the 
sword  come,  and  take  him  away, 
his  blood  shall  be  upon  his  own 
head.  He  heard  the  sound  of  the 
trumpet,  and  took  not  Avarning; 
his  blood  shall  be  upon  him.  But 
he  that  taketh  Avarning  shall  de- 
liver his  soul.  But  if  the  watch- 
man see  the  SAvord  come,  and 
bloAV  not  the  trumpet,  and  the 
people  be  not  Avarned;  If  the 
sword  come,  and  take  any  person

away  in  his  iniquity;  but  his  blood 
Avill  I  require  at  the  watchman's

passed against  my  law.

DISBANDING. 
1  Sam.  xxix,  1-11,  Now  the 
Philistines  gathered  together  all 
their  armies  to  Aphek:  and  the 
Israelites  pitched  by  a  fountain 
Avhich  is  in  Jezreel.  And  the 
lords  ot  the  Philisiines  passed  on 
by  hundreds,  and  by  thousands: 
but  David  and  his  men  passed  on 
in  the  rere-Avard  Avith  Achish. 
Thou  said  the  princes  of  the 
Philistines,  What  do  these 
IlebreAvs/^ere?  And  Achish  said 
unto  the  princes  of  the  Philistines. 
Is  not  this  David,  the  servant  of 
Saul  the  king  of  Israel,  which 
hath  been  Avith  me  these  days,  or 
these  years,  and  I  have  found  no 
fault  in  him  since  he  fell  unto  me 
unto  this  day?  And  the  princes 
of  the  Philistines  AvereAvroth  with 
him;  and  the  princes  of  the  Philis- 
tines said  unto  him,  Make  this 
felloAV  return,  that  he  may  go 
again  to  his  place  Avhich  thou  hast 
appointed  him,  and  let  him  not  go 
down  Avith  us  to  battle,  lest  in  the 
battle  he  be  an  adversary  to  us: 
for  AvhoroAvitli  should  he  reconcile 
himself  unto  his  master?  should  it 
72 


not  be  with  the  heads  of  these 
men?  7s  not  this  David,  of  Avhom 
they  sang  one  to  another  in  dances, 
saying,  Saul  slew  his  thousands, 
and  David  his  ten  thousands? 
Then  Achish  called  David,  and 
said  unio  him,  Surely,  as  the 
LoKD  liveth,  thou  hast  bern  up- 
right, and  thy  going  out  and  thy 
coming  in  with  me  in  the  host  is 
good  in  my  sight:  for  I  have  not 
found  evil  in  thee  since  the  day 
of  thy  coming  unto  me  unto  this 
day:  neverlheless  the  lords  favour 
thee  not.  Wherefore  now  return, 
and  go  in  peace,  that  thou  dis- 
please not  the  lords  of  the  Philis- 
tines. And  David  said  unto 
Achish,  But  Avhat  have  I  done?  and 
Avhat  hast  thou  found  in  thy  ser- 
vant so  long  as  I  have  been  Avith 
thee  unto  this  day,  that  I  may  not 
go  flght  against  the  enemies  of 
my  lord  the  king?  And  Achish 
ansAvered  and  said  to  David,  I 
knoAV  that  thou  art  good  in  my 
sight,  as  an  angel  of  God:  notAvith- 
standing  the  princes  of  the  Philis- 
tines have  said.  He  shall  not  go 
up  Avith  us  to  the  battle.  Where- 
fore uJav  rise  up  early  in  the 
morning  with  thy  master's  ser- 
vants that  are  come  Avith  thee: 
and  as  soon  as  ye  be  up  early  in 
the  morning,  and  have  light,  de- 
part. So  David  and  liis  men  rose 
up  early  to  depart  in  the  morning, 
to  return  into  the  land  of  the 
Philistines.  And  the  Philistines 
went  up  to  Jezreel. 

1  Kings  xii,  22-24.  But  the  word 
of  God  came  unto  Shemaiah  the 
man  of  God,  saying.  Speak  unto 
Rehoboam,  the  son  of  Solomon, 
king  of  Judah,  and  unto  all  the 
house  of  Judah  and  Benjamin, 
and  to  the  remnant  of  the  people, 
saying.  Thus  saith  the  Loko,  Ye 
shall  not  go  up,  nor  fight  against 
your  brethren  the  children  of 
Israel:  return  every  man  to  his 
house;  for  this  thing  is  from  me. 
They  hearliened  therefore  to  the 
AA'ord  of  the  Lord,  and  returned 
to  depart,  according  to  the  word 
of  the  Lord. 

1  Kings  xxli,  36.  And  there 
Avent  a  proclamation  throughout 
the  host  about  the  going  doAvn  of 
the  un,  saying.  Every  man  to  his 
city,  and  every  man  to  his  own 
country. 

2  Qhron.  xxv,  7-10.  But  there 
come  a  man  of  God  to  him,  saying, 
O  king,  let  not  the  army  of  Israel 
go  Aviih  thee;  for  the  Lord  is  not 
Avith  Israel,  to  toil,  with  all  the 
children  of  Ephraim.  But  if  thou 
Avllt  go,  do  it,  be  strong  for  the 
battle:  God  shall  make  thee  fall 
before  the  enemy:  for  God  hath 
poAver  to  help,  and  to  cast  down. 
And  Amaziah  said  to  the  man  of 
God,  But  Avhat  shall  Ave  do  for  the 
hundred  talents  Avhich  I  have 
given  to  the  army  oi  Israel?  And 


ARMY— ARMS. 


the  man  of  God  answered,  Tlie 
Lord  is  abl(3  to  give  thee  much 
more  than  this.  Then  Atnaziah 
separated  them,  to  loit.  the  army 
that  was  come  to  liim  out  ol 
Ephraim,  to  fro  liome  again:  where- 
fore their  anger  was  greatly  kin- 
dled against  Judah,  and  they  re- 
turned home  in  great  anger. 

Jer.  xli,  13, 14.  Now  it  came  to 
pass,  that  Avhen  all  the  people 
which  loe.re  with  Islimael  saw 
Johanan  the  son  of  Kareah,  and 
all  the  captains  of  the  forces  that 
icerc  with  him,  then  they  were 
glad  So  all  the  people  that  Ish- 
mael  had  carried  away  captive 
from  Mizpah  cast  about  and  re- 
turned, and  went  unto  Johanan 
the  son  of  Kareah.

Josh,  i,  14.  Your  wives,  your 
little  ones,  and  your  cattle,  shall 
remain  in  the  land  which  Moses 
gave  you  on  this  side  Jordan;  but 
ye  shall  pass  before  your  brethren 
armed,  all  the  mighty  men  of 
valour,  and  help  them. 

Josh,  viji,  3.  So  Joshua  arose/ 
and  all  the  people  of  war,  to  go

night. 

Josh.  X,  7.  So  Joshua  ascended 
from  Gilgul,  he,  and  all  the  people

2  Sam.  X,  7.  And  when  David 
heard  of  it,  he  sent  Joab,  and  all 
the  host  of  the  mighty  men. 

2  Sam.  xvi,  6,  And  he  cast 
stones  at  David,  and  at  all  the 
servants  of  king  David:  and  all 
the  people  and  all  the  mighty 
men  were  on  his  right  hand  and 
on  his  left.

RECORD  OF  DAVID'S 
HEROES. 
2  Sam.  xxiii,  8-21,  23-39.  These 
he  the  names  of  the  mighty  men 
whom  David  had:  The  Tachmon- 
ite  that  sat  in  the  seat,  chief 
among  the  captains;  the  same  was 
Adina  the  Eznite:  he  lift  up  his 
spear  against  eight  hundred, 
whom  he  slew  at  one  time.  And 
after  him  was  Eleazar  the  son  of 
Dodo  the  Ahohite,  one  of  the 
three  mighty  men  with  David, 
when  they  defied  the  Philistines 
that  were  there  gathered  together 
to  battle,  and  the  men  of  Israel 
were  gone  away:  He  arose,  and 
smote  the  Philistines  until  his 
hand  was  weary,  and  his  hand 
clave  unto  the  sword:and  the  Lord 
wrought  a  great  victory  that  day; 
and  the  people  returned  after  him 
only  to  spoil.  And  after  him  was 
Shanunah  the  son  of  A  gee  the 
Ilararite.  And  the  Philistines 
were  gathered  together  into  a 
troop,  where  Avas  a  piece  of 
ground  full  of  lentiles:  and  the 
people  fled  from  the  Phihstines. 


But  he  stood  in  the  midst  of  the 
ground,  and  defended  it,  and  slew 
the  Philistines:  and  the  Lord 
wrought  a  great  victory.  And 
three  of  the  thirty  chief  went  down, 
and  came  to  David  in  the  harvest 
time  unto  the  cave  of  AduUam: 
and  the  troop  of  the  Philistines 
pitched  in  the  valley  of  Rephaim. 
And  David  was  then  in  an  hold, 
and  £he  garrison  of  the  Philistines 
toas  then  in  Beth-lehem.  And 
David  longed,  and  said,  Oh  that 
one  would  give  me  drink  of  the 
water  of  the  well  of  Beth-lehem, 
Avhich  is  by  the  gate!  And  the 
three  mighty  men  brake  through 
the  host  of  the  Philistines,  and 
drew  water  out  of  the  well  of 
Beth-lehem,  that  was  by  the  gate, 
and  took  it,  and  brought  it  to 
David:  nevertheless  he  would  not 
drink  thereof,  but  poured  it  out 
unto  the  Lord.  And  he  said.  Be 
it  far  from  me,  O  Lord,  that  I 
should  do  this:  is  not  this  the 
blood  of  the  men  that  Avent  in 
jeopardy  of  their  lives?  therefore 
he  Avould  not  drink  it.  These 
things  did  these  three  mighty 
men.  And  Abishai,  the  brother  of 
Joab,  the  son  ofZeruiah,was  chief 
among  three.  And  he  lifted  up 
his  spear  against  three  hundred, 
and  slew  tliem,  and  had  the  name 
among  three.  Was  he  not  most 
honourable  of  three?  therefore  he 
Avas  their  captain:  howbeit  he  at- 
tained not  unto  the  first  three. 
And  Benaiah  the  son  of  Jehoiada, 
the  son  of  a  valiant  man,  of  Kab- 
zeel,  Avho  had  done  many  acts,  he 
sleAV  two  lion-like  men  of  Moab: 
he  Avent  doAvn  also  and  slew  a  lion 
in  the  midst  of  a  pit  in  time  of 
snoAv.  And  he  slew  an  Egyptian, 
a  goodly  man:  and  the  Egyptian 
had  a  spear  in  his  hand;  but  he 
Avent  dOAvn  to  him  Avith  a  staff, 
and  plucked  the  spear  out  of  the 
Egyptian's  hand,  and  sIcav  him 
Avith  his  OAvn  spear.  He  Avas  more 
honourable  than  the  thirty,  but  he 
attained  not  to  the  first  three:  and 
David  set  him  over  his  guard. 
Asahel  the  brother  of  Joab  was 
one  of  the  thirty;  Elhanan  the  son 
of  Dodo  of  Beth-lehem,  Sliammah 
the  Harodlte,  Elika  the  llarodite,

HEROINES. 

Judges  iv,  6-10,  14,  17,  18, 21,  22. 
And  she  sent  and  called  Barak  the 
son  of  Abinoam  out  of  Kedesh- 
naphtali,  and  said  unto  him,  Hath 
not  the  Lord  God  of  Israel  com- 
manded, saying,  Go  and  draAv  to- 
Avard  mount  Tabor,  and  take  with 
thee  ten  thousand  men  of  the 
children  of  Naphtali  and  of  the 
children  of  Zobulun?  And  I  Avill 
draAv  unto  thee  to  the  river 
Kishon  Sisera,  the  captain  of 
Jabin's  army,  Avith  his  chariots 
and  his  multitude;  and  I  Avill  de- 
liver him  into  thine  hand.  And 
Barak  said  unto  her,  If  thou  Avilt 
go  Avith  mo,  then  I  Avill  go:  but  if 
thou  Avilt  not  go  Avith  me,  then  I 
Avill  not  go.  And  she  said,  I  Avill 
surely  goAVith  thee:  notwithstand- 
ing the  journey  that  thou  takest 
shall  not  be  for  thine  honour;  for 
the  Lord  shall  sell  Sisera  into 
the  hand  of  a  woman.  And  De- 
borah arose,  and  went  Avith  Barak 
to  Kedesh.  And  Barak  called 
Zebulun  and  Naphtali  to  Kedesh; 
and  he  Avent  up  with  ten  thou- 
sand men  at  his  feet,  and  Deborah 
Avent  up  Avith  him.  And  Deborah 
said  unto  Barak,  Up;  for  this  zs  the 
d  ly  in  Avhich  the  Lord  hath  de- 
livered Sisera  into  thine  hand:  is  not 
the  Lord  gone  out  before  thee? 
So  Barak  went  doAvn  from  mount 
Tabor,  and  ten  thousand  men  after 
him.  HoAvbeit  Sisera  fled  away  on 
his  feet  to  the  tent  of  Jael  the 
Avife  of  Heber  the  Kenite:  for 
there  toas  peace  betAveen  Jabin 
the  king  of  Hazor  and  the  house 
of  Heber  the  Kenite.  And  Jael 
Avent  out  to  meet  Sisera,  and  said 
unto  him.  Turn  in,  my  lord,  turn 
in  to  me;  fear  not.  And  Avhen  he 
had  turned  in  unto  her  into  the 
tent,  she  covered  him  Avith  a 
mantle.  Then  Jael,  Heber's  Avife, 
took  a  nail  of  the  tent,  and  took 
an  hammer  in  her  hand,  and  Avent 
softly  unto  him,  and  smote  the 
nail  into  his  temples,  and  fastened 
it  into  the  ground:  for  he  was  fast 
asleep  and  Aveary.  So  he  died. 
And,  behold,  as  Barak  pursued 
Sisera,  Jael  came  out  to  meet 
him,  and  said  xmto  him,  Come, 
and  I  Avill  shcAv  thee  the  man 
Avhom  thou  seekest.  And  Avhen 
he  came  into  her  te7it,  behold, 
Sisera  lay  dead,  and  the  nail  toas 
in  his  temples. 

Judges  v,  24.  Blessed  above 
Avomen  sliall  Jael  the  wife  of 
Heber  the  Kenite  be,  blessed  shall 
she  be  above  women  in  the  tent.

the  men  and  women,  and  all  tliey 
of  the  city,  and  shut  it  to  them, 
and  gat  them  up  to  the  top  of  the 
tower.  And  Abimelech  came

rent  his  clothes,  and  said,  Alas 
my  daughter!  thou  hast  brought 
me  very  low,  and  thou  art  one  of 
tliem  that  trouble  me:  for  I  have 
opened  my  mouth  unto  the  Lord, 
and  I  cannot  go  back.  And  she 
said  unto  him,  My  father,  if  thou 
hast  opened  thy  mouth  unto  the 
Loud,  do  to  me  according  to  that 
which  hath  proceeded  out  of  thy 
mouth;  forasmuch  as  the  Lord 
hath  taken  vengeance  for  thee  of 
thine  enemies,  even  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Amnion.

Lord  will  work  for  us:  for  there  is 
no  restraint  to  the  Lord  to  save

unto  the  armies  of  Israel,  and 
said  unto  them,  Why  are  ye  come 
out  to  set  your  battle  in  array? 
am  not  I  a  Philistine,  and  ye  ser- 
vants to  Saul?  choose  you  a  man 
for  you,  and  let  him  come  down  to 
me.  If  he  be  able  to  flght  with  | 
me,  and  to  kill  me,  then  will  we  I 
be  your  servants:  but  if  I  prevail  I 


against  him,  and  kill  him,  then 
shall  ye  be  our  servants,  and 
serve  us.  And  the  Philistine 
said,  I  defy  the  armies  of  Israel 
this  day;  give  me  a  man,  that  we 
may  fight  together.  When  Saul 
and  all  Israel  heard  those  words 
of  the  Philistine,  they  were  dis- 
mayed, and  greatly  afraid.  And 
the  Philistine  drew  near  morning 
and  evening,  and  presented  him- 
self forty  days.  And  as  he  talked 
with  them,  behold,  there  came  up 
the  champion,  the  Pliilistine  of 
Gath,  Goliatli  by  name,  out  of  the 
armies  of  the  Philistines,  and 
spake  according  to  the  same 
words:  and  David  heard  them. 
And  all  the  men  of  Israel,  when 
they  saw  the  man,  fled  from  him, 
and  were  sore  afraid.  And  the 
men  of  Israel  said.  Have  ye  seen 
this  man  that  is  come  up?  surely 
to  defy  Israel  is  he  come  up:  and 
it  shall  be,  tliat  the  man  who  kill- 
eth  iiim,  the  king  will  enrich  him 
with  great  riches,  and  will  give 
him  his  daughter,  and  make  his 
father's  house  free  in  Israel.  And 
David  spake  to  the  men  that  stood 
by  him,  saying.  What  shall  be 
done  to  the  man  that  killeth  this 
Philistine,  and  taketh  aAvay  the 
reproach  from  Israel?  for  who  is 
this  uncircumcised  Philistine,  that 
he  should  defy  tlie  armies  of  the 
living  God?  And  the  people 
answered  him  after  this  manner, 
saying.  So  shall  it  be  done  to  the 
man  that  killeth  him.  And  Ellab 
his  eldest  brother  heard  when  he 
spake  unto  the  men;  and  Eliab's 
anger  was  kimlled  against  David, 
and  he  said.  Why  caniest  thou 
down  liither?  and  with  whom 
hast  thou  left  those  few  sheep  in 
the  wilderness?  I  know  thy 
pride,  and  thy  naughtiness  of 
tliine  heart;  for  thou  art  come 
down  that  thou  mightost  see  the 
battle.  And  David  said,  Wliat 
have  I  now  done?  Is  there  not  a 
cause?  And  he  turned  from  him 
toward  another,  and  spake  after 
the  same  manner:  and  the  people 
answered  him  again  after  the 
former  manner.  And  when  the 
words  were  heard  which  David 
spake,  they  rehearsed  them  before 
Saul:  and  he  sent  for  him.  And 
David  said  to  Saul,  Let  no  man's 
heart  fail  because  of  him;  thy  ser- 
vant will  go  and  fi.ght  with  this 
Philistine.  And  Saul  said  to 
David,  Thou  art  not  able  to  go 
against  this  Philistine  to  fight 
with  him:  for  thou  art  but  a  youth, 
and  he  a  man  of  war  from  his 
youth.  And  Saul  armed  David 
with  his  armour,  and  he  put  an 
hchnet  of  brass  upon  his  head; 
also  he  armed  him  with  a  coat  of 
mail.  And  David  girded  his 
sword  upon  his  armour,  and  he 
a.ssayed  to  go;  for  he  had  not 
proved  it.  And  David  said  unto 
Saul,  I  cannot  go  with  these;  for 
75 


I  have  not  proved  them.  And 
David  put  them  off  him.  And  he 
took  his  staff  in  his  hand,  and 
choose  him  five  smooth  stones 
out  of  the  brook,  and  put  them  in 
a  shepherd's  bag  which  he  had, 
even  in  a  scrip:  and  his  sling  loas 
in  his  hand:  and  he  drew  near  to 
the  Philistine.  And  the  PhiUs- 
tine  came  on  and  drew  near  unto 
David;  and  the  man  that  bare  the 
shield  icent  before  him.  And 
when  the  Philistine  looked  about, 
and  saw  David,  he  disdained  him: 
for  he  Avas  but  a,  yo^xi\\,  and  ruddy, 
and  of  a  fair  countenance.  Then 
said  David  to  the  Philistine,  Thou 
comest  to  me  Avith  a  SAvord,  and 
Avith  a  spear,  and  Avith  a  shield: 
but  I  come  to  thee  in  the  name 
of  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of 
the  armies  of  Israel,  Avhom  thou 
hast  defied.  This  day  Avill  the 
Lord  deliver  thee  into  mine  hand; 
and  I  will  smite  thee,  and  take 
thine  head  from  thee;  and  T  Avill 
give  the  carcases  of  the  host  of  the 
Philistines  this  day  unto  the  foAvls 
of  the  air,  and  to  the  Avild  beasts 
of  the  earth;  that  all  the  earth 
may  knoAV  that  there  is  a  God  in 
Israel.  And  all  this  assembly 
shall  knoAV  that  the  Lord  saveth 
not  Avith  SAVord  and  spear:  for  the 
battle  is  the  Lord's,  and  he  Avill 
give  you  into  our  hands.  And  it 
came  to  pass,  Avhen  the  Philistine 
arose,  and  came  and  drcAV  nigli  to 
meet  David,  that  David  hasted, 
and  ran  to  Avar  d  the  army  to  meet 
the  Philistine.  And  David  put 
his  hand  in  his  bag,  and  took 
thence  a  stone,  and  slang  it,  and 
smote  the  Philistine  in  his  fore- 
head, that  the  stone  sunlc  into  his 
forehead;  and  he  fell  upon  his 
face  to  the  earth.  So  David  pre- 
vailed over  the  Philistine  Avith  a 
sling  and  Avith  a  stone,  and  smote 
the  Philistine,  and  slew  him;  but 
there  was  no  sAvord  in  the  hand  of 
David.  Therefore  David  ran,  and 
stood  upon  the  Philistine,  and 
took  his  SAVord,  and  drew  it  out  of 
the  sheath  thereof,  and  sIoav  him, 
and  cut  off"  his  head  thercAvith. 
And  when  the  Philistines  saAv 
their  champion  was  dead,  they 
fled. 

2  Sam.  ii,  13-16.  And  Joab  the 
son  of  Zeruiah,  and  the  servants 
of  David,  went  out,  and  met  to- 
gether by  the  pool  of  Gibeon:  and 
they  sat  doAvn,  the  one  on  the  one 
side  of  the  pool,  and  the  other  on 
the  other  side  of  the  pool.  And 
Abner  said  to  Joab,  Let  the  young 
men  noAV  arise,  and  play  before 
us.  And  Joab  said.  Let  them 
arise.  Then  there  arose,  and  went 
over  by  number  tAvelve  of  Ben- 
jamin, which  pertained  to  Ish- 
bosheth  the  son  of  Saul,  and 
twelve  of  the  servants  of  David. 
And  they  caught  eA'ery  one  his 
fellow  by  the  head,  and  thrust  his 
sword  in  his  fellow's  side;  so  they 


fell  down  together:  wTierefoTe 
that  place  was  called  Helkatli- 
hazzurim,  which  is  in  Gibeou, 

2  Kings  x,  2-4.  Now,  as  soon  as 
this  letter  cometh  to  you.  seeing 
your  masters  sons  are  with  you, 
and  tftere  arc  with  you  cliariots 
and  horses,  a  fenced  city  also,  and 
armour.  Look  even  out  the  best 
and  meetest  of  your  master's 
sons,  and  set  him  on  his  father's 
throne,  and  fight  for  your  master's 
house.  But  they  were  exceeding- 
ly afraid,  and  said,  Behold,  two 
kings  stood  not  liefore  him:  how 
then  shall  we  stand? 

2  Kings  xiv,  8-12.  Then  Amaz- 
iah  sent  messengers  to  Jehoash, 
the  son  of  Jehoahaz  son  of  Jehu, 
king  of  Israel,  saying.  Come,  let 
us  look  one  another  in  the  face. 
And  Jehoash  the  king  of  Israel 
sent  to  Amaziah  king  of  Judah, 
saying,  The  thistle  that  loas  in 
Lebanon  sent  to  the  cedar  that 
loas  in  Lebanon,  saying,  Give  thy 
daughter  to  my  son  to  wife:  and 
there  passed  by  a  wild  beast  that 
was  in  Lebanon,  and  trode  down 
the  thistle.  Thou  hast  indeed 
smitten  Edom,  and  thine  heart 
hath  lifted  thee  up;  glory  of  this, 
and  tarry  at  home:  for  why 
ehouldest  thou  meddle  to  thi/ 
hurt,  that  thou  shouldest  M\,even 
thou,  and  Judah  with  thee?  But 
Amaziah  would  not  hear.  There- 
fore Jehoash  king  of  Israel  went 
up;  and  he  and  Amaziah  king  of 
Judah  looked  one  another  in  the 
face  at  Beth-shemesh,  which  be- 
longeth  to  Judah.  And  Judah 
was  put  to  the  worse  before 
Israel;  and  they  fled  every  man 
to  their  tents.

valley  of  Eshcol,  and  saw  the 
land,  they  discouriged  the  heart

should  not  go  into  tlie  land  which

Lord  had  dried  up  the  waters  of 
Jordan  from  before  the  children

shall  take  hold  on  the  inhabitants

l':(lom  shall  be  amazed;  the  mi,ghty 
men  of  Moab,  trembling  shall  take

arm  they  shall  be  as  still  as  a  stone; 
till  thy  people  pass  over,  O  Lord, 
till  the  people  pass  over,  which

Lord  hath  given  you  the  land,  and

land  faint  because  of  you.  For  we 
have  heard  how  the  Lord  dried 
up  the  water  of  the  Red  sea  for 
you,  when  ye  came  out  of  Egypt; 
and  what  ye  did  \mto  the  two 
kings  of  the  Amorites,  that  were 
on  the  other  side  Jordan,  Sihon 
and  Og,  whom  ye  utterly  destroy- 
ed. And  as  soon  as  we  had  heard 
these  things,  our  hearts  did  melt, 
neither  did  there  remain  any  more 
courage  in  any  man,  because  of 
you:  for  the  Lord  your  God,  he  is 
God  In  heaven  above,  and  in 
earth  beneath.  And  they  said

I  will  make  many  people  amazed 
at  thee,  and  their  kings  shall  be 
horribly  afraid  for  thee,  when  I 
shall  brandish  my  sword  before 
them;  and  they  shall  tremble  at 
every  moment,  every  man  for  his 
own  life,  in  the  day  of  thy  fall.

the  ephod:  if  thou  wilt  take  that,

sword  ,  and  thrust  me  through

Eph.  vi,  11-17.  Put  on  the  whole 
armour  of  God.  that  ye  may  be 
able  to  stand  against  the  wiles  of 
the  devil.  For  we  wrestle  not 
against  flesh  and  blood,  but  against 
principalities,  against  powers, 
against  the  rulers  of  the  darkness 
of  this  world,  against  spiritual 
wickedness  in  high  places.  Where- 
fore take  unto  you  the  Avhoh* 
armour  of  G()d,tliat  ye  may  be  able 
to  withstand  hi  the  evil  day,  and 
liaviiig  done  all,  to  stand.  Stand 
therefore,  having  your  loins  girt 
about  with  truth,  and  having  on 
the  breastplate  of  righteousness; 
And  your  feet  shod  with  tlie  pre- 
paration of  the  gospel  of  peace; 
Above  all,  taking  the  shield  of 
faitli,  wherewith  ye  shall  be  able 
to  quench  all  the  fiery  darts  of  the 
wicked.  And  take  the  helmet  of 
salvation,  and  the  sword  of  the 
Spirit,  which  is  the  word  of  God.

lance:  they  are  cruel,  and  will  not 
shew  mercy:  their  voice  sluill  loar 
like  the  sea,  and  they  shall  ride 
upon  horses,  every  one  put  in 
array,  like  a  man  to  the  battle, 
against  thee,  O  daughter  of  Baby- 
lon. 

Jer.  li,  3,  11.  Against  Mm  that 
bendeth  let  the  archer  bend  his 
bow,  and  against  him  that  lifteth 
himself  up  in  his  brigandine:  and 
spare  ye  not  her  young  men; 
destroy  ye  utterly  all  her  host. 
Make  bright  the  arrows;  gather 
the  shields:  the  Lord  hath  raised 
up  the  spirit  of  the  kings  of  the 
Medes:  for  his  device  is  against 
Babylon,  to  destroy  it;  because  it 
w  the  vengeance  of  the  Lord,  the 
vengeance  of  his  temple. 

Lam.  ii,  4.  He  Tiath  bent  his 
bow  like  an  enemy:  he  stood  with 
his  right  hand  as  an  adversary, 
and  slew  all  that  loere  pleasant 
to  the  eye  in  the  tabernacle  of  the 
dau.ghter  of  Zion:  he  poured  out 
hia  fury  like  fire. 

Ezek.  xxi,  21.  For  the  king  of 
Babylon  stood  at  the  parting  of 
the  way,  at  the  head  of  the  two 
A\'ays,  to  use  divination:  he  made 
his  arrows  bright. 

Ezeli.  xxxix,  3.  And  I  will  smite 
thy  bow  out  of  thy  left  hand,  and 
will  cause  thine  arrows  to  fall  out 
of  thy  right  hand. 

Rosea  i,  5,  7.  And  it  shall  come 
to  pass  at  that  day,  that  I  will 
break  the  bow  of  Israel  in  the 
valley  of  Jezreel.  But  I  will  have 
mercy  upon  the  house  of  Judah, 
and  will  save  them  by  the  Lord 
their  God,  and  will  not  save  them 
by  bow,  nor  by  sword,  nor  by 
battle,  by  horses,  nor  by  horse- 
men. 

Rosea  vil,  16.  They  return,  hut 
not  to  the  most  High:  they  are 
like  a  deceitful  bow:  their  princes 
sliall  tall  by  the  sword  for  the  rage 
of  their  tongue:  this  shall  be  their 
derision  in  the  land  of  Egypt. 


Amos  ii,  16.  Neither  shall  he 
stand  that  handleth  the  bow;  and 
he  that  is  swift  of  foot  shall  not 
deliver  himself:  neither  shall  he 
that  rideth  the  horse  deliver  him- 
self. 

Zecli.  ix,  10,  13.  And  I  will  cut 
off  the  chariot  from  Ephraira,  and 
the  horse  from  Jerusalem,  and 
the  battle  bow  shall  be  cut  off: 
and  he  shall  speak  peace  unto  the 
heathen:  and  his  dominion  shall  be 
from  sea  even  to  sea,  and  from  the 
river  even  to  the  ends  of  the  earth. 
When  I  have  bent  Judah  for  me, 
filled  the  bow  with  Ephralm,  and 
raised  up  thy  sons.  O  Zion,  against 
thy  sons,  O  Greece,  and  made 
thee  as  the  sword  of  a  mighty 
man. 

Zech.  X,  4.  Out  of  him  came 
forth  the  corner,  out  of  him  tho 
nail,  out  of  him  the  battle  bow, 
out  of  him  every  oppressor  to- 
gether. 

Rev.  vi,  2.  And  I  saw,  and  be- 
hold a  Avhite  horsq:  and  he  that 
sat  on  him  had  a  bow;  and  a  crown 
was  given  unto  him:  and  he  went 
forth  conquering,  and  to  conquer

P3.  xl,  2.  For,  lo,  the  wicked 

Dend  their  bow,  they  make  ready 

their  arrow  upon  tlie  striug,  that 

they  may  privily  shoot  at  the  up- 

riglit  in  heart. 

Ps.  xxxvii,  14.  The  wicked  have 
drawn  out  the  sword,  and  have 
bent  their  bow,  to  cast  down  the 
poor  and  needy,  and  to  slay  such 
as  be  of  upright  conversation. 

Ps.  Iviii,  7.  Let  them  melt  away 
as  waters  which  run  continually: 
v;hen  he  bendeth  his  bow  to  shoot 
his  arrows,  let  them  be  as  cut  in 
pieces. 

Ps.  Ixiv,  3.  Who  whet  their 
tongue  like  a  sword,  and  bend 
their  bows  to  shoot  their  arrows, 
even  bitter  words. 

Prov.  XXV,  18.  A  man  that  bear- 
eth  false  witness  against  his 
nei.irhbour  is  a  maul,  and  a  sword, 
and  a  sharp  arrow. 

Prov.  xxvi,  18.  As  a  mad  man 
who  casteth  firebrands,  arrows, 
and  death. 

Je7'.  ix,  3,  8.  And  they  bend 
their  tongues  like  their  bow  for 
lies:  but  they  are  not  valiant  for 
the  truth  upon  the  earth;  for 
they  proceed  from  evil  to  evil, 
and  they  know  not  me,  saith  the 
Lord.  Their  tongue  is  as  an 
arrow  shot  out;  it  speaketh  deceit: 
one  speaketh  peaceably  to  his 
neighbour  with  Iiis  mouth,  but  in 
heart  he  layeth  his  wait.

Job  vi,  4.  For  the  arrows  of  the 
Almighty  are  within  me,  the 
poison  whereof  drinketh  up  my 
spirit;  the  terrors  of  God  do  set 
themselves  in  array  against  me. 

Job  xvi,  13.  His  archers  com- 
pass me  round  about,  he  cleaveth 
my  reins  asunder,  and  doth  not 
spare;  he  poureth  out  my  gall  up- 
on the  ground. 

Ps.  vii,  11-13.  God  judgeth  the 
righteous,  and  God  is  angry  toith 
the  loicked  every  day.  If  he  turn 
not,  he  will  whet  his  sword;  ne 
hath  bent  his  bow,  and  made  it 
ready.  He  hath  also  prepared  for 
him  the  instruments  of  death;  he 
ordaineth  his  arrows  against  tho 
persecutors. 

Ps.  xviii,  14.  Yea,  he  sent  out 
his  arrows,  and  scattered  them. 

Ps.  xxi,  12.  Therefore  shall 
thou  make  them  turn  their  back,

arrows  of  his  quiver  to  enter  into 
my  reins. 

Ezek.  V,  16.  When  I  shall  send

Judges  xx,  16.  Amonj-  all  this 
people  there  tcere  seven  hundred 
chosen  men  lefthanded;  every 
one  could  sling  stones  at  an  hair 
breadth,  and  not  miss. 

1  Samuel  xvii,  40,  49.  And  he 
took  his  staff  in  his  hand,  and 
choose  him  five  smooth  stones 
out  of  the  brook,  and  put  them  in 
a  shepherd's  bag  which  he  had, 
even  in  a  scrip;  and  his  sling  teas 
in  his  hand:  and  he  drew  near  to 
the  Philistine.  And  David  put 
his  hand  in  his  bag,  and  took 
thence  a  stone,  and  slang  it,  and 
smote  the  Philistine  in  his  fore- 
head, that  the  stone  sunk  into  his 
forehead;  and  he  fell  upoa  his  face 
to  the  earth. 

2  Kings  iii,  25.  And  they  beat 
down  the  cities,  and  on  every 
good  piece  of  land  cast  every  man 
his  stone,  and  filled  it;  and  they 
stopped  all  the  wells  of  water,  and 
felled  all  the  good  trees:  only  in 
Kir-haraseth  left  they  the  stones 
thereof;  howbeit  the  slingers 
went  about  it,  and  smote  it. 


1  Sam.  XXV,  29.  Yet  a  man  is 
risen  to  pursue  thee,  and  to  seek 
thy  soul:  but  the  soul  of  my  lord 
shall  be  bound  in  the  bundle  of 
life  with  the  Lord  thy  God;  and 
the  souls  of  thine  enemies,  them 
shall  ho  sling  out,  as  out  of  the 
middle  of  a  sling. 

Prov.  xxvi,  8.  As  he  that  bind- 
oth  a  stone  in  a  sling,  so  is  he 
that  giveth  honour  to  a  fool. 

Jer.  X,  18.  For  thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Behold,  I  will  sling  out  the 
inhabitants^  ol  the  land  at  this 
once,  and  will  distress  them,  that 
they  may  find  it  so. 

DAGGER. 

Judges  iii,  16,  21,  22.  But  Ehud 
made  him  a  dagger  which  had 
two  edges,  of  a  cubit  length;  and 
he  did  gird  it  under  his  raiment 
upon  his  right  thigh.  And  Ehud 
put  forth  his  left  hand,  and  took 
the  dagger  from  his  right  thigh, 
and  thrust  it  into  his  belly.  And 
the  haft  also  went  in  after  the 
l)lade;  and  the  fat  closed  upon  the 
blade,  so  that  he  could  not  draw 
the  dagger  out  of  his  belly;  and 
I  he  dirt  came  out. 

DART,  JAVELIN. 

Num.  XXV,   7,   8.     And  when 

Phinchas.  the  son  oI  Eleazar,  the 
son  of  Aaron  the  priest,  saw  it,  he 
rose  up  from  among  the  congre- 
gation, and  took  a  javelin  in  his 
hand;  And  he  went  after  the 
man  of  Israel  into  the  tent,  and 
thrust  both  of  them  through,  the 
iiijin  of  Israel,  and  the  woman 
tijruugh  her  belly.    So  the 


I  was  sta,yed  from  the  children  of 
Israel. 

1  Sam.  xviii,  10, 11.  And  it  came 
to  pass  on  the  morrow,  that  the 
evil  spirit  from  God  came  upon 
Saul,  and  he  prophesied  in  the 
midst  of  the  house:  and  David 
played  Avith  his  hand,  as  at  other 
times:  and  there  was  a  javelin  in 
Saul's  hand.  And  Saul  cast  the 
javelin;  for  he  said,  I  will  smite 
David  even  to  the  wall  tolth  it. 
And'  David  avoided  out  of  his 
presence  twice. 

1  Sam.  xix,  9,  10.  And  the  evil 
spirit  from  the  Lord  Avas  upon 
Saul,  as  he  sat  in  his  house  with 
his  javelin  in  his  hand:  and  David 
played  with  his  hand.  And  Saul 
sought  to  smite  David  even  to  the 
wall  with  the  javelin;  but  he 
slipped  away  out  of  Saul's  pre- 
sence, and  he  smote  the  javelin 
into  the  wall:  and  David  fled,  and 
escaped  that  night. 

2  Sam.  xviii,  14.  Then  said  Joab, 
I  may  not  tarry  thus  with  thee. 
And  he  took  three  darts  in  his 
hand,  and  thrust  them  through 
the  heart  of  Absalom,  while  he 
was  yet  alive  in  the  midst  of  the 
oak. 

2  Qhron.  xxxil,  6.  Also  he 
[Hezekiah]  strengthened  himself, 
and  built  up  all  the  wall  that  was 
broken,  and  raised  it  up  to  the 
towers,  and  another  wall  without, 
and  repaired  Millo  in  the  city  of 
David,  and  made  darts  and  shields 
in  abundance. 

Heb.  xii,  20.  For  they  could  not 
endure  that  which  was  command- 
ed. And  if  so  much  as  a  beast 
touch  the  mountain,  it  shall  be 
stoned,  or  thrust  through  with  a 
dart. 

Prov.  vii,  23.  Till  a  dart  strike 
through  his  liver;  asabirdhasteth 
to  the  snare,  and  knoweth  not 
that  it  is  for  his  life. 

SPEAR. 

Josh,  viii,  18.  26.  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  Joshua,  Stretch  out  the 
spear  that  is  in  thy  hand  toward 
Ai;  for  I  will  give  it  into  thine 
hand.  And  Joshua  stretched  out 
the  spear  that  he  had  in  ms  hand 
toward  the  city.  For  Joshua 
drew  not  his  hand  back,  where- 
with he  stretched  out  the  spear, 
until  he  had  utterly  destroyed  all 
the  inhabitants  of  Ai. 

1  Sam.  xiii,  22.  So  it  came  to 
pass  in  the  day  of  battle,  that 
there  was  neither  sword  nor 
spear  found  in  the  hand  of  any  of 
the  people  that  loere  with  Saul 
an'd  Jonathan:  but  Avith  Saul  and 
with  Jonathan  his  son  Avas  there 
found. 

1  Sam.  xvii.  7  And  the  staff  of 
his  spear  was  like  a  Aveaver's 
81 


beam;  and  his  spear's  head 
weighed  six  hundred  s].ekels  of 
iron:  and  one  bearing  a  shield 
Avent  before  him. 

1  Sam.  xxi,  8.  And  David  said 
unto  Ahimelech,  And  is  there  not 
here  under  thine  hand  spear  or 
SAVord?  for  I  have  neither  brought 
my  sword  nor  my  weapons  with 
me,  because  the  king's  business 
required  haste. 

1  Sam.  xxvi,  7,  8,  11.  16.  So 
David  and  Abishai  came  to  the 
people  by  night:  and,  behold,  Saul 
lay  sleeping  Avithiu  the  trench, 
and  his  spear  stuck  in  the  ground 
at  his  bolster:  but  Abner  and  the 
people  lay  around  about  him. 
Then  said  ATiishai  to  David,  God 
hath  delivered  thine  enemy  into 
thine  hand  this  day:  noAV  there- 
fore let  me  smite  him,  I  pray 
thee,  with  the  spear  even  to  the 
earth  at  once,  and  I  Avill  not  smite 
him  the  second  time.  The  Lord 
forbid  that  I  should  stretch  forth 
mine  hand  against  the  Loiii>'s 
anointed:  but,  I  pray  thee,  take 
thou  now  the  spear  that  is  at  his 
bolster,  and  the  cruse  of  Avater, 
and  let  us  go.  This  thing  is  not 
good  that  thou  hast  done.  As  the 
Lord  liveth,  ye  are  worthy  to  die, 
because  ye  have  not  kept  your 
master,  the  Lord's  anointed.  And 
noAV  see  Avhere  the  king's  spear 
is,  and  the  cruse  of  Avater  that  was 
at  his  bolster. 

2  Sam.  i,  6.  And  the  young  man 
that  told  him  said,  As  I  happened 
by  chance  upon  mount  Gilboa,  be- 
hold, Saul  leaned  upon  his  spear. 

2  Sam.  ii,  23.  Howbeit  he  refus- 
ed to  turn  aside:  Avherefore  Abner 
Avith  the  hinder  end  of  the  spear 
smote  him  under  tha  fifth  rib, 
that  the  spear  came  out  behind 
him;  and  he  fell  doAvn  there,  and 
died  in  the  same  place:  and  it 
came  to  pass,  tliat  as  many  as 
came  to  the  place  Avhere  Asahel 
fell  doAvn  and  died  stood  still. 

2  Sam.  xxi,  19.  And  there  Avas 
again  a  battle  in  Gob  with  the 
Philistines,  Avhere  Elhanan  the 
son  of  Jaare-oregim,  a  Beth- 
lehemite,  sIcav  the  brother  of  Go- 
liath the  Gittite,the  staff  of  Avhosc 
spear  was  like  a  weaver's  beam. 

2  Sam.  xxiii,  7.  But  the  man 
that  shall  touch  them  must  be 
fenced  with  iron,  and  the  staff  of 
a  spear 

1  Qhron.  xi,  11.  20,  23.  And  this 
is  the  number  of  the  mighty  men 
Avhom  David  had;  Jashobeam,  an 
Hachmonite.  the  chief  of  the  cap- 
tains: he  lifted  up  his  spear  against 
three  hundred  slain  by  him  at  one 
time.  And  Abishai  the  brother  of 
Joab,  he  Avas  chief  of  the  three: 
for  lifting  up  his  spear  against 
three  hundred,  he  sleAv  them,  and 
h;id  a  name  among  the  three. 
And  he  slew  an  Egyptian,  a  man

war  t.gain  with  the  Philistines; 
and  Elhanan  the  son  of  Jair  slow

Gittite,  whose  spear's  staff  was  like

down,  that  we  may  go  over:  and 
thou  hast  laid  thy  body  as  the 
ground,  and  as  the  street,  to  them 
that  went  over. 

Dan.  iii,  28.  Then  Nebuchad- 
nezzar snake,  and  said,  Blessed  be 
the  God  of  Shadrach,  Meshach, 
and  Abed-nego,  who  hath  sent  his 
angel,  and  delivered  his  servants 
that  trusted  in  him,  and  have 
changed  the  king's  word,  and 
yielded  their  bodies,  that  they 
might  not  serve  nor  worship  any 
god,  except  their  own  God. 

Dan.  vii,   15.     I   Daniel    was 


grieved  in  my  spirit,  in  the  midst 
of  my  body,  and  the  visions  of  my 
head  troubled  me. 

jratth.  x,  28.  And  fear  not 
them  which  kill  the  body,  but  are 
not  able  to  kill  the  soul:  but 
rather  fear  him  which  is  able  to 
df^stroy  both  soul  and  body  in 
hell. 

Horn,  vii,  24.  O  wretched  man 
that  I  am!  who  shall  deliver  me 
from  the  body  of  this  deatli? 

2  ^or.  V,  8.  We  are  confident,  I 
say,  and  willing  rather  to  be 
absent  from  the  body,  and  to  be 
present  with  the  Lord. 

2  Qor.  X,  10.  For  his  letters,  say 
they,  are  weighty  and  powerful; 
but  Ms  bodily  presence  is  weak, 
and  Ms  speech  contemptible. 

Ileb.  xiii,  3.  Remember  them 
that  are  in  bonds,  as  bound  with 
them;  and  them  which  sulfor  ad- 
versity, as  being  yourselves  also 
in  the  body. 

James  ii,  26.  For  as  the  body 
without  the  spirit  is  dead,  so  faith 
without  works  is  dead  also. 

SYMBOL    OF    THE    CHURCH 

AND  ITS  SYMPATHETIC 

UNITY. 

Bom.  xii,  4,  5.  For  as  we  have 
many  members  in  one  body,  and 
all  members  have  not  the  same 
office:  So  we,  bei?ig  many,  are  one 
body  in  Christ,  and  every  one 
members  one  of  another. 

1  (7or.  .xii,  14-26.  For  the  body 
is  not  one  member,  but  many. 
If  the  foot  shall  say,  Because  I  am 
not  the  hand,  I  am  not  ot  the 
body;  is  it  therefore  not  of  the 
body?  And  if  the  ear  shall  say, 
Because  I  am  not  the  eye,  I  am 
not  of  the  body;  is  it  therefore  not 
of  the  body?  If  the  whole  b(/.ly 
tvere  an  eye,  where  icere  the 
hearing?  If  the  whole  were  hear- 
ing, where  were  the  smelling?  But 
now  hath  God  set  the  members 
every  one  of  them  in  the  body,  as 
it  hath  pleased  him.  And  if  they 
were  all  one  member,  where  were 
the  body?  But  now  are  they 
many  members,  yet  but  one  body. 
And  the  eye  cannot  say  unto  the 
hand,  I  have  no  need  of  thee:  nor 
again  the  head  to  the  feet,  I  have 
no  need  of  you.  Nay,  much  more 
those  members  of  the  body,  wliich 
seem  to  be  more  feeble,  are  neces- 
sary: And  those  members  of  the 
body,  which  we  think  to  be  less 
honourable,  upon  these  we   be- 


stow more  abundant  honour,  and 
our  uncomely  parts  have  more 
abundant  comeliness.  For  our 
comely  ^lO^^t^  have  no  need:  but 
God  hath  tempered  the  body  to- 
gether, having  given  more  abund- 
ant honour  to  that  part  which 
lacked;  That  there  should  be  no 
schism  in  the  body;  but  that  the 
members  should  have  the  same 
care  one  for  another.  And 
whether  one  member  suffer,  all 
the  members  suifer  with  it;  or  one 
member  be  honoured,  all  the 
members  rejoice  with  it. 

Eph.  i,  23.  Which  is  his  body, 
the  fulness  of  him  that  fiffeth  all 
in  all. 

Eph.  ii,  16.  And  that  he  might 
reconcile  both  unto  God  in  one 
body  by  the  cross,  having  slain 
the  enmity  thereby. 

Eph.  iii,  6.  That  the  Gentiles 
should  be  fellowheirs,  and  of  the 
same  body,  and  partakers  of  his 
promise  in  Christ  by  the  go.spel. 

Eph.  iv,  4, 12,  16.  Tliere  is  one 
body,  and  one  Spirit,  even  as  ye 
are  called  in  one  hope  of  your 
calling.  For  the  perfecting  of  the 
saints,  for  the  work  of  the  minis- 
try, for  the  edifying  of  the  body 
of  Christ.  From  whom  the  whole 
body  fitly  joined  together  and 
compacted  by  that  which  everj 
ioint  supplieth,  according  to  the 
efl"ectual  working  in  the  measure 
of  every  part,  maketli  increase  of- 
the  body  unto  the  edifying  of  it- 
self in  love. 

Eph.  V,  23.  For  the  husband  is 
the  head  of  the  wife,  even  as 
Christ  is  the  head  of  the  church: 
and  he  is  the  saviour  of  the  body. 

(7oios.  i,  18,  24.  And  he  is  tlie 
head  of  the  body,  the  church: 
Avho  is  the  beginning,  the  first- 
born from  the  dead;  that  in  all 
things  he  might  have  the  pre- 
eminence. Who  now  rejoice  in 
my  suiferings  for  you,  and  fill  up 
that  which  is  behind  of  the  afflic- 
tions of  Christ  in  my  flesh  for  his 
body's  sake,  which  is  the  church. 

Qolos.  ii,  19.  And  not  holding 
the  Head,  from  which  all  the 
body  by  joints  and  bands  having 
nourishment  ministered,  and  knit 
together,  increaseth  with  the  in- 
crease of  God. 

<^olos.  iii,  15.  And  let  the  p"';co 
of  God  rule  in  your  hearts,  co  the 
which  also  ye  are  called  in  one 
body;  and  be  ye  thankfuL 


BODY, 


THE  BODY  HAS  AN  INTEREST 
IN  CHRIST'S  SALVATION. 
Bom.  vl,  6,  12.  Knowing  this, 
that  our  old  man  is  crucified  witli 
Mm,  tliat  the  body  of  sin  miglit  be 
destroyed,  that  henceforth  we 
should  not  serve  sin.  Let  not  sin 
tlierofore  reign  in  your  mortal 
body,  that  ye  should  obey  it  in 
the  lusts  thereof. 

Bom.  viii,  10, 11,  13,  23.  And  if 
Christ  be  in  you,  the  body  is  dead 
because  of  sin;  but  the  Spirit  is 
life  because  of  righteousness.  But 
if  tlie  Spirit  of  him  that  raised  up 
Jesus  from  the  dead  dwell  in  you, 
he  tliat  raised  up  Christ  from  the 
dead  shall  also  quicken  your  mor- 
tal bodies  by  his  Spirit  that  dwell- 
eth  in  you.  For  if  ye  live  after 
the  flesh,  ye  shall  die:  but  if  ye 
through  the  Spirit  do  mortify  the 
deeds  of  the  body,  ye  shall  live. 
And  not  only  they,  but  ourselves 
also,  which  have  the  flrstfruits  of 
the  Spirit,  even  Ave  ourselves 
groan  within  ourselves,  waiting 
for  the  adoption,  to  wit,  the  re- 
demption of  our  body. 

Eom.  xii,  1.  I  beseech  you  there- 
fore, brethren,  by  the  mercies  of 
God,  that  ye  present  your  bodies 
a  living  sacrifice,  holy,  acceptable 
unto  God,  which  is  your  reason- 
able service. 

1  (7or.  vi,  13,  15,  18-20.  Meats 
for  the  belly,  and  the  belly  for 
meats:  but  God  shall  destroy  both 
it  and  them.  Now  the  body  is 
not  for  fornication,  but  for  the 
Lord;  and  the  Lord  for  the  body. 
Know  ye  not  that  your  bodies 
are  the  members  of  Christ?  shall 
I  then  take  the  members  of 
Christ,  and  make  them  the  mem- 
bers of  an  harlot?  God  forbid. 
Flee  fornication.  Every  sin  that 
a  man  doeth  is  without  the  body; 
but  he  that  coramitteth  fornication 
siinieth  against  his  own  body. 
What?  know  ye  not  that  your 
body  is  the  temple  of  the  Holy 
Ghost  which  is  in  you,  which  ye 
have  of  God,  and  ye  are  not  your 
own?  For  ye  are  bought  with  a 
price:  theretore  glorify  God  in 
your  body,  and  in  your  spirit, 
which  are  God's. 

1  (7or.  vii,  34.  There  is  differ- 
ence also  between  a  wife  and  a 
virgin.  The  unmarried  woman 
careth  lor  the  things  of  the  Lord, 
that  she  may  be  holy  both  in  body 
and  in  spirit:  but  she  that  is  mur- 
ried  careth  for  the  things  of  the 
world,  how  she  may  please  her 
husband. 

1  Qor.  ix,  27.  But  I  keep  under 
my  body,  and  bring  it  into  sub- 
jection: lest  that  by  any  means, 
when  I  have  preached  to  otliers, 
I  myself  should  be  a  castaway, 

2  Qor.  Iv,  10.  Always  bearing 
about  in  the  body  the  dying  of 


tlie Lord  Jesus,  that  the  life  also  of 
Jesus  might  be  made  manifest  in 
our  body. 

2  ^or.  V,  10.  For  we  must  all  ap- 
pear before  the  ^judgment  seat  of 
Christ;  that  every  one  may  receive 
the  things  do7ie  in  his  body, 
according  to  that  he  hath  done, 
whether  it  be  good  or  bad. 

Cfal.  vl,  17.  From  henceforth  let 
no  man  trouble  me:  for  I  bear  in 
my  body  the  marks  of  the  Lord 
Jesus. 

Fhil.  i,  20.  According  to  my 
earnest  expectation  and  7n?j  hope, 
that  in  nothing  I  shall  bo  asham- 
ed, but  that  with  all  boldness,  as 
always,  so  now  also  Christ  shall 
be  magnified  in  my  body,  whether 
it  be  by  life,  or  by  death. 

Phil,  iii,  21.  Who  shall  change 
our  vile  body,  that  it  may  be 
fashioned  like  unto  his  glorious 
body,  according  to  the  working 
whereby  ho  is  able  even  to  sub- 
due all  things  unto  himself. 

1  Thess.  V,  23.  And  the  very 
God  of  i)eace  sanctify  you  Avholly; 
and  I  pray  God  your  whole  spirit 
and  soul  and  body  be  preserved 
blameless  unto  the  coming  of  our 
Lord  Jesus  Christ, 

WILL  BE  RAISED  AGAIN.

STATURE. 

Gen.  vi,  4.  There  were  giants  in 
the  earth  in  those  days;  and  also 
after  that,  when  the  sons  of  God 
came  in  unto  the  daughters  of 
men,  and  they  bare  children  to 
them,  the  same  became  mighty 
men  which  were  of  old,  men  of  re- 
nown. 

Num.  xiii,  22,  32.  And  they 
ascende  1  by  the  south  and  came 
unto  Hebron;  where  Ahinian, 
Sheshai,  and  Talmai,  the  cliiUhen 
of  Anak,  were.  (Now  Hebron 
Avas  built  seven  years  before 
Zoan  in  Egypt.)  And  they 
brought  up  an  evil  I'eport  of  the 
land  which  they  bad  searched 
unto  the  children  of  Israel,  saying, 
The  land,  through  Avhi<-h  Ave  have 
gone  to  search  it,  is  a  land  that 
eateth  up  the  inhabitants  thereof; 
and  all  the  people  that  Ave  saw  in 
it  are  men  of  a  great  stature. 

Deut.  ii,  10,  11,  20.  The  Emims 
dwelt  therein  in  tiniies  past,  a  peo- 
ple great,  and  many,  and  tall,  as 
the  AnaUims;  Which  also  Avere 
accounted  giants,  as  the  Anakims; 
but  the  Moabites  call  them 
Emims.  That  also  was  accounted 
a  land  of  giants:  giants  dwelt 
therein  in  old  time;  and  the  Am- 
monites call  them  Zamzumminis. 

Judrjes  i,  20.  And  they  gave 
Hebron  unto  Caleb,  as  Moses

fetched  him  [Saul]  thence:  and

ple from  his  shoulders  and  upward. 

1  Sam.  xvii,  4.  And  there  Avent 
out  a  champion  out  of  the  camp 
of  the  Philistines,  named  Goliath,

had  gone  out  by  companies,  and

and  she  waited  on  Naaman's 
Avife. 

1  Qhron.  xi,  23.  And  he  slew  an 
Egyptian,  a  man  of  great  stature, 
five  cubits  high, 

Qant  vii,  7,  8.  This  thy  stature 
is  like  to  a  palm-tree,  and  tliy 
breasts  to  clusters  of  grapes.  I 
said,  1  Avill  go  up  to  the  palm  tree, 
I  will  take  hold  of  the  boughs 
thereof.  .... 

Matth.  vi.  27.  Which  of  you  by

Luk^  xix,  3.  And  he  sought  to 
see  Jesus  Avho  ho  AA'as;  and  could

little  of  stature.

Gen.  xxvii,  27.  And  he  camo 
near,  and  kissed  him:  and  ho 
smelled  the  smell  of  his  raiment, 
and  blessed  him,  and  said.  See, 
the  smell  of  my  son  is  as  the 
smell  of  a  field  which  the  Lord 
hath  blessed. 

Exod.  \\,  11.  And  the  Lobd  said 
unto  him,  Who  hath  made  man's 
mouth?  or  Avho  maketh  the  dumb, 
or  deaf,  or  the  seeing,  or  the 
blind?  have  not  I  the  Loku? 

1  Sam.  iii,  11.  And  the  Lord

the  ears  of  every  one  that  heareth 
it  shall  tingle.

be  deaf. 

APPETITES. 

Job  XX,  23.  When  he  is  about  to 
fill  his  belly,  God  shall  cast  tho

eating.

Ps.  xxvii,  2.  When  the  wicked, 
even  mine  enemies  and  my  foes,

eateth  to  the  satisfying  of  his 
soul:  but  the  belly  of  the  wicked 
Shall  want.

vants, I  beseech  thee,  ten  days;

countenances  be  looked  upon 
before  ttieo,  and  the  countenance 
of  the  children  thateatof  the  por- 
tion of  the  king's  nu^at:  and  as 
thoa  eeest,  deal  with  thy  servants. 
So  he  consented  to  them  in  this 
matter,  and  proved  them  ten 
days.  An'l  at  the  end  of  ten  days 
their  countenances  appeared  fairer 
and  fatter  in  flesh  than  all  the 
children  which  did  oat  the  portion 
of  the  king's  meat.  Thus  Melzar 
took  avay  the  portion  of  their 
meat,  and  the  wine  that  they 
should  drink;  and  gave  them 
pulse. 

Micah  vi,  14.  Thon  shalt  eat, 
but  not  to  be  satisfied;  and  thy 
casting  down  Shall  be  in  the  midst

which  tliou  deliverest  will  I  give 
up  to  the  sword. 

Matth.  V,  6.  Blessed  are  they 
which  do  hunger  and  thirst  after 
righteousness:  for  they  shall  be 
filled. 

John  vi,  26, 27.  Jesus  answered 
them  and  said,  Verily,  verily,  I 
Bay  rnto  you,  Ye  seek  me,  not  be- 
cause ye  saw  the  miracles,  but  be- 
cause ye  did  eat  of  the  loaves,  and 
were  filled.  Labour  not  for  the 
meat  which  perisheth,  but  for  that 
meat  which  endureth  unto  ever- 
lasting lite,  which  the  Son  of  man 
shall  give  unto  you:  for  him  hath 
God  the  Father  sealed. 

1  Cor.  X,  31.  Whether  therefore 
ye  eat,  or  <  rink,  or  whatsoever  ye 
do,  do  all  to  the  glory  of  God.

me  have. 

Acts  ii,  31.  He  seeing  this  before

CORPOREAL  PERSON.

his  word,  in  God  I  have  put  my

fathers,  and  of  whom  as  concern- 
ing the  flesh  Christ  came,  who  is 
over  all,  God  blessed  for  ever. 
Amen. 

2  ^or.  Iv,  11.  For  we  which  live 
are  alway  delivered  unto  death 
for  Jesus'  sake,  that  the  life  also 
of  Jesus  might  be  made  manifest 
in  our  mortal  flesh. 

Gal.  ii,  20 And  the  life 

which  I  now  live  in  the  flesh  I 
live  by  tho  faith  of  the  Son  of  God, 
who  loved  me,  and  gave  himself 
for  me. 

Fph.yi,5.  Servants,  be  obedient 
to  them  that  are  your  masters 
according  to  the  flesh,  with  fear 
and  trembling,  in  singleness  of 
your  heart,  as  unto  Christ. 

Phil.  i.  22,  24.  But  if  I  live  in  the 
flesh,  this  is  the  fruit  of  my  la- 
hour:  yet  what  I  shall  choose  I  wot 
not.  Nevertheless  to  abide  in  the 
flesh  is  more  needful  for  you. 

Qol.  ii,  1,  5.  For  I  would  that  ye 
knew  what  great  conflict  I  have 
tor  you,  and /or  them  at  Laodicea, 
and /or  as  many  as  have  not  seen 
my  face  in  the  flesh.  For  though 
I  be  absent  in  the  flesh,  yet  am  I 
with  you  in  the  spirit,  joying  and 
behohling  your  order,  and  the 
stedfastness  of  your  faith  in 
Christ. 

1  Peter  iv,  1.  Forasmuch  then 
as  Christ  hath  suftered  for  us  in 
the  flesh,  arm  yourselves  likewise 
with  the  same  mind:  for  he  that 
hath  sulTered  in  the  flesh  hath 
ceased  from  sin. 

NAME   OF   CORRUPTED  HU- 
MAN  NATURE,  ESPECIALLY 
IN  THE  WRITINGS  OF 
PAUL. 

John  ill,  6.  That  which  is  bora 
of  the  flesh  is  flesh;  and  that 
which  is  born  of  the  Spirit  is 
spirit. 

Bom.  vii,  5, 18, 25.  For  when  we 
were  in  the  flesh,  the  motions  of 
sins,  which  were  by  the  law,  did 
work  in  our  members  to  bring 
forth  fruit  unto  death.  For  I  know 
that  in  me  (that  is,  in  my  flesh,) 
dwelleth  no  good  thing:  for  to  will 
is  present  with  me;  b.t  how  to 
perform  that  which  is  good  I  find 
not.  I  thank  God  through  Jesus 
Christ  our  Lord.  So  then  with 
the  mind  I  myself  serve  the  law 
of  God;  but  with  the  flesh  the  law 
of  sin. 

Bom.  vlli,  3-9.  For  what  the 
law  could  not  do,  in  that  it  was 
weak  through  the  flesh,  God 
sending  his  own  Son  in  the  like- 
ness of  sinful  flesh,  and  for  sin. 


condemned  sin  In  the  flesh:  That 
the  ri<?liteonsness  of  the  law 
might  be  fulfilled  in  us,  who  walk 
not  after  the  flesh,  but  after  the 
Spirit.  For  they  that  are  after 
the  flesh  do  mind  the  things  of  the 
flesh;  but  they  that  are  after  the 
Spirit  the  things  of  the  Spirit. 
For  to  be  carnally  minded  is 
death;  but  to  i)e  spiritually  mind- 
ed is  life  and  peace.  Because  the 
carnal  mind  .is  enmity  against 
God:  for  it  is  not  subject  to  the 
law  of  God,  neither  indeed  can  be. 
So  then  they  that  are  in  the  flesh 
cannot  piease  God.  But  ye  are 
not  in  the  flesh,  but  in  the  Spirit, 
if  so  bo  that  the  Spirit  of  God 
dwell  in  you.  Now  if  any  man 
have  not  the  Spirit  of  Christ,  he  is 
none  of  his. 

Eom.  xiii,  14.  But  put  ye  on  the 
Lord  Jesus  Christ,  and  make  not 
provision  for  the  flesh,  to  fulfil  the 
lusts  thereof. 

1  (for.  V,  5.  To  deliver  such  ar 
one  unto  Satan  for  the  destruc- 
tion of  the  flesh,  that  the  spirit 
may  be  saved  in  the  day  of  the 
Lord  Jesus. 

2  (JorA,  17.  When  I  therefore  was 
thus  minded,  did  I  use  lightness? 
or  the  things  tliat  I  purpose,  do  I 
purpose  according  to  the  flesh, 
that  with  me  there  should  be  yea 
yea,  and  nay  nay? 

2  Qor.  X,  2.  But  I  beseech  pou, 
that  I  may  not  be  bold  when  I  am 
present  with  that  confidence, 
wherewith  I  think  to  be  bold 
against  some,  which  thinlc  of  us 
as  if  we  walked  according  to  the 
flesh. 

Gal.  V,  16-21.  This  I  say  then, 
"Walk  in  the  Spirit,  and  ye  shall 
not  fulfil  the  lusts  of  the  flesh, 
For  the  flesh  lusteth  against  the 
Spirit,  and  the  Spirit  against  the 
flesh:  and  these  are  contrary  the 
one  to  the  other:  so  that  ye  can- 
not do  the  things  that  ye  would. 
But  if  ye  be  led  of  the  Spirit,  yo 
are  not  under  the  law.  Kow  the 
works  of  the  flesh  are  manifest, 
which  are  these;  Adultery,  forni- 
cation, uncleanness,  lascivious- 
ness.  Idolatry,  witchcraft,hatred, 
variance,  emulations,  wrath, 
strife,  seditions,  heresies.  Envy- 
ings,  murders,  drunkenness,  re- 
vellings,  and  such  like:  of  the 
which  I  tell  you  before,  as  I  have 
also  told  you  in  time  past,  that 
they  which  do  such  things  shall 
not  inherit  the  kingdom  of  God. 

Eph.  ii,  3.  Among  whom  also 
we  all  had  our  conversation  in 
thnes  past  in  the  lusts  of  our  flesh, 
fulfilling  the  desires  of  the  flesh 
and  of  the  mind;  and  were  by  na- 
ture the  children  of  wrath,  even 
as  others. 

Phil,  ill,  3.  For  we  are  the  cir- 
cumcision, which  worship  God  in

the  spirit,  and  rejoice  in  Christ 
Jesus,  and  have  no  confidence  in 
the  flesh. 

Qol  ii,  11.  In  whom  also  ye  are 
circumcised  with  the  circumcision 
made  without  hands,  In  putting 
off  the  body  of  the  sins  of  the 
flesh  by  the  circumcision  of 
Christ. 

2  Peter  II,  lO,  18.  But  chiefly 
them  that  walk  after  the  flesh  in 
the  lust  of  uncleanness,  and  de- 
spise government For 

Avhen  they  speak  great  swelling 
words  of  vanity,  they  aUure 
through  the  lusts  of  the  flesh, 
through  much  wantonness,  those 
that  were  clean  escaped  from 
them  who  live  in  error. 

1  John  il,  16.  For  all  that  is  in 
the  world,  the  lust  of  the  flesh, 
and  the  lust  of  the  eves,  and  tlie 
pride  of  life,  is  not  of  Hhe  Father, 
but  is  of  the  world. 

Judel,  8,  23.  Even  as  Sodom 
and  Gomorrha,  and  the  cities 
about  them  in  like  manner,  giv- 
ing themselves  over  to  fornica- 
tion, and  going  after  strange  flesh 
are  set  forth  for  an  example^ 
suflering  the  vengeance  of  eternal 
fire.  Likewise  also  these  filthy 
dreamers  defile  the  flesli,  despise 
dominion,  and  speak  evil  of  digni- 
ties. And  others  save  with  fear, 
pnlling  them,  out  of  the  fire;  hat- 
ing even  the  garment  spotted  by 
the  flesh.

1  Cor.  vii,  28.  But  and  If  thou

of  bones.  And  he  said  unto  me,

bcmes,  hear  the  word  of  the  Lord. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  unto

his  youth.

Lord  to  burn  incense  upon  the 
altar  of  incense.

aright,  and  whose  spirit  was  not 
stedfast  with  God.  For  their 
heart  was  not  right  with  him,

covenant.

was  I  grieved  with  this  genera-

lio  err  in  their  heart,  and  they 
have  not  known  my  Avays.

viseth  wicked  imaginations,  feet 
that  be  swift  in  running  to  mis-

of  the  land  into  your  hand;  and 
thou  Shalt  drive  them  out  before 
thee. 

Deut  lii,  12-17.  And  this  land, 
VJhich  we  possessed  at  that  time, 
from  Aroer,  which  is  by  the  river 
Arnon,  and  half  mount  Gilead, 
juid  the  cities  thereof,  g-ave  I  unto 
the  Reubenites,  and  to  the  Gadites. 
And  the  rest  of  Gilead,  and  all 
Bashan,  being  the  kingdom  of  Og, 
gave  I  unto  the  half-tribe  of  Ma- 
nasseh;  all  the  region  of  Argob, 
with  all  Bashan,  which  was  called 
the  land  of  giants.  Jair  the  son 
of  Manasseh  took  all  the  country 
of  Argob,  unto  the  coasts  of  Ge- 
ehuri  and  Maachathi,  and  called 
them  after  his  own  name,  Bashan- 
havoth-jair,  unto  this  day.  And 
I  gave  Gilead  unto  Machir.  And 
vinto  the  Reubenites,  and  unto 
the  Gadites,  I  gave  from  Gilead 
even  unto  the  river  Arnon,  half 
the  valley,  and  the  border,  even 
unto  the  river  Jabbok,  uMch  is 
the  border  of  the  children  of 
Ammon;  The  plain  also,  and  Jor- 
dan, and  the  coast  thereof,  from 
Chinnereth  even  unto  the  sea  of 
the  plain,  even  the  salt  sea,  under 
Ashdoth-plsgah  eastward. 

Deut.  iv,  47-49.  And  they 
possessed  his  land,  and  the  land 
of  Og  king  of  Bashan,  two  kings 
of  the  Amorites,  which  v;ere  on 
this  side  Jordan,  toward  tlie  sun 
rising;  From  Aroer,  which  is  by 
the  bank  of  the  river  Arnon,  even 
unto  mount  Sion,  which  is  Hei- 
mon.  And  all  the  plain  on  this 
side  Jordan  eastward,  even  unto 
the  sea  of  the  plain,  under  the 
springs  of  Pisgah. 

Amos  vi,  2.  Pass  ye  unto  Calneh, 
and  see;  and  from  thence  go  ye  to 
Hamath  the  great:  then  go  down 
to  Gath  of  the  Philistines:  be  they 
better  than  these  kingdoms?  or 
their  border  greater  than  your 
border? 

THE  SAME  AS  SEEN  IN  THE 
VISION  OF  EZEKIEL. 
Ezek.  xlvii,  13-21.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God,  This  sliall  be  the 
border  wherel>y  ye  shall  inherit 
the  land,  according  to  the  twelve 
tribes  of  Israel:  Joseph  shall  have 
two  portions.     And  ye  shall  in- 


herit it,  one  as  well  as  another; 
concerning  the  which  I  lifted  ua 
mine  hand  to  give  it  unto  youF 
fathers:  and  this  land  shall  fall 
unto  you  for  inheritance.  And 
this  shall  be  the  border  of  the  land 
toward  the  north  side,  from  the 
great  sea,  the  way  of  Hethlon,  as 
men  go  to  Zedad;  Hamath, 
Berothah,  Sibraira,  which  is  be- 
tween the  border  of  Damascus 
and  the  border  of  Hamath;  Hazar- 
hatticon,  which  is  by  the  coast  of 
Hauran.  And  the  border  from 
the  sea  shall  be  Hazar-enan,  the 
border  of  Damascus,  and  tlie  north 
northward,  and  the  border  of 
Hamath.  And  this  is  the  north 
side.  And  the  east  side  ye  shall 
measure  from  Hauran,  and  from 
Damascus,  and  from  Gilead,  and 
from  the  land  of  Israel  by  Jordan, 
from  the  border  unto  the  east  sea. 
And  this  is  the  east  side.  And 
the  south  side  southward,  from 
Tamar  eveti  to  the  waters  of  strife 
in  Kadesh,  the  river  to  the  great 
sea.  And  this  is  the  south  side 
southward.  The  west  side  also 
shall  be  the  great  sea  from  the 
border,  till  a  man  come  over 
against  Hamath.  This  is  the 
west  side.  So  shall  ye  divide  this 
land  unto  you  according  to  the 
tribes  of  Israel. 

Ezek.  xlvii  i,  29,  30.  This  is  the 
land  which  ye  shall  divide  by  lot 
unto  the  tribes  of  Israel  for  in- 
heritance, and  these  are  their 
portions,  saith  the  Lord  God. 
And  these  are  the  goings  out  of 
the  city  on  the  north  side,  four 
thousand  and  five  hundred  meas- 
ures. 

DESCRIPTION  OF  THE 
COUNTRY. 

Exod.  xxxiii,  3.  Unto  a  land 
flowing  witli  milk  and  honey:  for 
I  will  not  go  up  in  the  midst  of 
thee;  for  thou  art  a  stilfnecked 
people;  lest  I  consume  thee  in  the 
way. 

Lev.  XX,  24.  But  I  have  said 
unto  you.  Ye  shall  inherit  their 
land,  and  I  will  give  it  unto  you 
to  possess  it,  a  land  that  floweth 
with  milk  and  honey:  I  am  the 
Loud  your  God,  which  have 
seperated  you  from  other  people. 

Deut.  viii,  7-9.  For  the  Lord  thy 
God  bringoth  thee  into  a  good 
land,  a  land  of  brooks  of  water, 
of  fountains  and  depths  that  spring 
out  of  valleys  and  hills;  A  land  of 
wheat,  and  barley,  and  vines,  and 
fig  trees,  and  pomegranates;  a 
124 


land  of  oil  olive,  and  honey;  A 
land  wherein  thou  shalt  eat  bread 
without  scarceness,  tliou  shalt  not 
lack  any  thing  in  it;  a  land  whose 
stones  are  iron,  and  out  of  whose 
hills  thou  mayest  dig  brass. 

Deut.  xxvi,  9-11.  And  he  hath 
brought  us  into  this  place,  and 
hath  given  us  this  land,  even  a 
land  that  floweth  with  milk  and 
honey.  And  now,  behold,  I  have 
brought  the  first-fruits  of  the  land 
which  thou,  O  Lord,  hast  given 
me.  And  thou  shalt  set  it  before 
the  Lord  thy  God,  and  worship 
before  the  Lord  thy  God.  And 
thou  shalt  rejoice  in  every  good 
'thing  which  the  Lord  thy  God 
hath  given  unto  thee,  and  unto 
thine  house,  thou,  and  the  Levito, 
and  the  stranger  that  is  among 
you. 

Judges  xviii,  9,  10.  And  they 
said.  Arise,  that  we  may  go  up 
against  them:  for  we  have  seen 
the  land,  and,  behold,  it  is  very 
good;  and  are  ye  still?  Be  not 
slothful  to  go,  and  to  enter  to 
possess  the  land.  When  ye  go, 
ye  shall  come  unto  a  people  secure, 
and  to  a  large  land:  for  God  hath 
given  it  into  your  hands;  a  place 
where  there  is  no  want  of  any 
thing  that  is  in  the  earth. 

Jer.  xxxii,  22.  And  hast  given 
them  this  land,  which  thou  didst 
swear  to  their  fathers  to  give 
them,  a  land  flowing  with  milk 
and  honey. 

Ezek.  XX,  6.  In  the  day  that  I 
lifted  up  mine  hand  unto  tliem,  to 
bring  them  forth  of  the  land  of 
Egypt  into  a  land  that  I  had  espied 
for  them,  flowing  with  milk  and 
honey,  which  is  the  glory  of  ail 
lands.

PBOMISE  OF  POSSESSION. 

Gen.  xiii,  14,  15,  17.  And  the 
Lord  said  unto  Abram,  after  that 
Lot  was  separated  from  him,  Lift 
up  now  thine  eyes,  and  look  from 
the  place  where  thou  art  north- 
ward, and  southward,  and  east- 
ward, and  westward:  For  all  the 
land  which  thou  seest,to  thee  will 
I  give  it,  and  to  thy  seed  for  ever. 
Arise,  walk  through  the  land,  in 
the  length  of  it,  and  in  the  breadth 
of  it:  lor  I  will  give  it  unto  thee. 

Gen.  XV,  17-21.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  that,  when  the  sun  went 
down,  and  it  was  dark,  behold  a 
smoking  furnace,  and  a  burning

lamp  that  passeot  between  those 
pieces.  In  that  same  day  the 
Lord  made  a  covenant  with 
Abram,  saying'.  Unto  thy  seed 
have  I  given  this  land,  from  the 
river  of  Egypt  unto  the  great 
river,  tlie  river  Euphrates:  The 
Kenites,  and  tlie  Kenizzites,  and 
the  Kadmonites,  And  the  Hit- 
fites,  and  tiie  Perizzites,  and  the 
Rephalms,  And  the  Amorites,  and 
the  Canaanites,  and  the  Girgash- 
ites,  and  the  Jebusites, 

Gen.  xvii,  8.  And  I  will  give 
imto  thee,  and  to  thy  seed  after 
thee,  the  land  wherein  thou  art 
a  stranger,  all  the  land  of  Canaan, 
for  an  everlas^ting  possession;  and 
I  will  be  their  God. 

Gen.  xxvi,  2,  3.  And  the  Lord 
appeared  unto  him,  and  said,  Go 
not  down  into  Egypt;  dwell  in  the 
land  which  I  shall  tell  thee  of. 
Sojourn  in  this  land,  and  I  will  be 
with  thee,  and  will  bless  thee:  for 
unto  thee,  and  unto  thy  seed,  I 
will  give  all  these  countries;  and 
T  will  perform  the  oath  which  I 
sware  unto  Abraham  tliy  father. 

Gen.  XXXV,  12.  And  the  land 
wh'ch  I  gave  Abraham  and  Isaac, 
to  thee  I  will  give  it,  and  to  thy 
seed  after  thee  will  I  give  the 
land. 

Gen.  xl\i!i,  21.  And  Israel  said 
unto  Joseph,  Behold,  I  die;  but 
God  shall  be  with  you,  and  bring 
you  again  unto  the  land  of  your 
fathers. 

Gen.  1.  24.  And  Joseph  said  unto 
his  brethren,  I  die:  and  God  will 
surely  visit  you,  and  bring  you 
out  of  this  land  unto  the  land 
^vhich  he  sware  to  Abraham,  to 
Isaac,  and  to  Jacob. 

Exod.  vi,  4,  8.  And  I  have  also 
established  my  covenant  with 
them,  to  give  them  the  land  of 
Canaan,  the  land  of  their  pilgrim- 
age, wherein  they  were  strangers. 
And  I  will  bring  you  in  unto  the 
land,  concerning  the  which  I  did 
swear  to  give  it  to  Abraham,  to 
Isaac,  and  to  Jacob;  and  I  will 
give  it  you  for  an  heritage:  I  am 
the  Loud. 

Exod.  XV,  17.  Thou  shalt  bring 
them  in,  and  plant  tlicm  in  the 
mountain  of  thine  inheritance,  in 
the  place,  O  Lord,  ichich  thou 
hast  made  for  thee  to  dwell  in:  in 
the  Sanrtuary,  O  Lord,  ichich  thy 
hands  have  establislied. 

Exod.  xxxiii,  1.  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  Moses,  Depart,  and  go 
up  hence,  thou  and  the  people 
which  thou  hast  brought  up  out 
of  the  land  of  Egypt,  unto  the 
land  which  I  sware  unto  Abra- 
ham, to  Isaac,  and  to  Jacob,  say- 
ing. Unto  thy  seed  will  1  give  it. 

Deut.  iii,28.  But  charge  Joshua, 
and  encourage  him,  and  streng- 
then him;  lor  he  shall  go  over  be- 


fore this  people,  and  he  shall 
cause  them  to  inherit  the  land 
which  thou  shalt  see. 

Deut.  xi,  31.  For  ye  shall  pass 
over  Jordan,  to  go  in  to  possess 
the  land  which  the  Lord  your 
God  giveth  you,  and  ye  shall  pos- 
sess it,  and  dwell  therein. 

Deut.  xxxii,  8.  When  the  most 
High  divided  to  the  nations  their 
inheritance,  when  he  separated 
the  sons  of  Adam,  he  set  the 
bounds  of  the  people  according  to 
the  number  of  the  children  of 
Israel. 

Joshua  i,  3,  4.  Every  place  that 
the  sole  of  your  foot  shall  tread  up- 
on, that  have  I  given  unto  you,  as 
I  said  unto  Moses.  From  the 
wilderness  and  this  Lebanon,  even 
unto  the  great  river,  the  river 
Euphrates,  all  the  land  of  the 
Hittites,  and  unto  the  great  sea, 
toward  the  going  down  of  the  sun, 
shall  be  your  coast. 

SUBSEQUENT  ALLUSIONS. 

1  ghron.  xvi,  18,  19.  Saying, 
Unto  thee  Avill  I  give  the  land  of 
Canaan,  the  lot  of  your  Inheri- 
tance; When  ye  were  but  few, 
even  a  few,  and  strangers  in  it. 

Neh.  \x,  7,  8.  Thou  art  the  Lord 
the  God,  who  didst  choose  Abram, 
and  broughtest  him  forth  out  of 
Ur  of  the  Chaldees,  and  gavest 
him  the  name  of  Abraham:  And 
foundest  his  heart  faithful  before 
thee,  and  madest  a  covenant  with 
him,  to  give  the  land  of  the 
Canaanites,  the  Hittites,  the  Am- 
orites. and  the  Perizzites,  and  the 
Jebusites,  and  the  Glrgashites,  to 
give  it,  I  say,  to  his  seed,  and  hast 
performed  thy  words:  for  thou  art 
righteous. 

Ps.  cv,  11, 12.  Saying,  Unto  thee 
will  I  give  the  land  of  Canaan,  the 
lot  of  your  inheritance:  When 
they  were  but  a  few  men  in  num- 
ber; yea,  very  few,  and  strangers 
in  it. 

Acts  vii,  2-5.  And  he  said,  Men, 
brethren,  and  fathers,  hearken; 
The  God  of  glory  appeared  unto 
our  father  Abraham,  when  he  was 
in  Mesopotamia,  before  he  dwelt 
in  Charran,  And  said  unto  him, 
Get  thee  out  of  thy  country,  and 
from  thy  kindred,  and  come  into 
the  land  wliich  I  shall  shew  thee. 
Then  came  he  out  of  the  land  of 
the  Chaldeans,  and  dwelt  in  Char- 
ran:  and  from  thence,  when  his 
father  was  dead,  he  removed  him 
into  this  land,  wherein  ye  now 
dwell.  And  he  gave  him  none  in- 
heritance in  it.  no,  not  so  much  as 
to  set  his  foot  on:  yet  he  promised 
that  he  would  give  it  to  him  for  a 
possessicm,  and  to  his  seed  after 
him,  when  as  yet  he  had  no  child. 

Heb.  xi,8,10.  By  faith  Abraham, 

when  he  was  called  to  go  out  into 

a  place  which  he  should  after  re- 

125 


ceive  for  an  inheritance,  obeyed; 
and  he  went  out,  not  knowing 
whither  he  went.  By  faith  he  so- 
journed in  the  land  of  promise,  as 
in  a  strange  country,  dwelling  in 
tabernacles  with  Isaac  and  Jacob, 
the  heirs  with  him  of  the  same 
promise.  For  he  looked  for  a  city 
which  hath  foundations,  whose 
builder  and  maker  is  God. 

CONDITIONS  OF  CONTINUED 

POSSESSION. 

2  Kings  xxi,  8.  Neither  will  I 
make  the  feet  of  Israel  move  any 
more  out  of  the  land  which  I  gave 
their  fathers;  only  if  they  will  ob- 
serve to  do  according  to  all  that  I 
have  commanded  them,  and  ac- 
cording to  all  the  law  that  my 
servant  Moses  commanded  them. 

1  Qhron.  xxviii,  8.  Now  there- 
fore, in  the  sight  of  all  Israel,  the 
congregation  of  the  Lord,  and  in 
the  audience  of  our  God,  keep  and 
seek  for  all  the  commandments  of 
the  Lord  your  God;  that  ye  may 
possess  this  good  land,  and  leave 
it  for  an  inheritance  for  your  chil- 
dren after  you  for  ever. 

Jer.  vii,  5-7.  For  if  ye  thorough- 
ly amend  your  ways  and  your 
doings;  if  ye  thoroughly  execute 
judgment  between  a  man  and  his 
neighbour;  If  ye  oppress  not  the 
stranger,  the  fiitherless,  and  the 
widow,  and  shed  not  innocent 
blood  in  this  place,  neither  walk 
after  other  gods  to  your  hurt; 
Then  will  I  cause  you  to  dwell  in 
this  place  in  the  land  that  I  gave 
to  your  fathers,  for  ever  and  ever. 

COMMISSION    TO 
CONQUER  IT. 

Deut.  X,  11.  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  me,  Arise,  take  thy  journey 
before  the  people,  that  they  may 
go  in  and  possess  the  land,  which 
I  sware  iiato  their  fathers  to  give 
unto  them. 

Joshua  i,  1,  2.  Now  after  the 
death  of  Moses,  the  servant  of  the 
Lord,  it  came  to  pass,  that  the 
Lord  spake  unto  Joshua  the  son 
of  Nun,  Moses'  minister,  saying, 
Moses  my  servant  is  dead;  now 
therefore  arise,  go  over  this  Jor- 
dan, thou,  and  all  this  people, 
unto  the  land  which  I  do  give  to 
them,  even  to  the  children  of 
Israel. 

Joshua  xviii,  2,  3.  And  there  re- 
mained among  the  children  of 
Israel  seven  tribes,  which  had  not 
yet  received  their  inlieritance. 
And  Joshua  said  unto  the  children 
of  Israel,  How  long  are  ye  slack 
to  go  to  possess  the  land,  which 
the  Lord  God  of  your  fathers  hath 
given  you. 

CHARACTER  AND  EXPUL- 
SION OF  ITS  ABORIGINES. 
Exod.  xxiii,  29,  30.   I  will  not 


CANAAN. 


drive  them  out  from  before  thee 
in  one  year;  lest  the  land  become 
desolate,  and  tlie  beast  of  the  hold 
multiply  against  thee.  By  little 
and  little  I  will  drive  them  out 
from  before  thee,  until  thou  be 
increased,  and  inherit  the  land. 

Exod.  xxxiv,  11.  Observe  thou 
that  which  I  command  thee  this 
day:  behold,  I  drive  out  before 
thee  the  Amorite.  and  the  Ca- 
naanite,  and  the  Hittite,  and  the 
Perizzlte,  and  the  Hivite,  and  the 
Jebusite. 

Lev.  xvili,  25,  27,  And  the  land 
is  defiled:  therefore  I  do  visit  the 
iniquity  thereof  upon  it,  and  the 
land  itself  vomlteth  out  her  in- 
habitants. (For  all  these  abomin- 
ations have  the  men  of  the  land 
done  which  ?«ere  before  you,  and 
the  land  is  defiled.) 

Num.  xxiv,  19.  Out  of  Jacob 
shall  come  he  that  shall  have 
dominion,  and  shall  destroy  him 
that  remaineth  of  the  city. 

Num.  xxxiii,  53,  55,  56.  And  ye 
shall  dispossess  the  inhabitants  of 
the  land,  and  dwell  therein:  for  I 
have  given  you  the  land  to  pos- 
sess it.  But  if  ye  will  not  drive 
out  the  inhabitants  of  the  land 
from  before  you;  then  it  shall  come 
to  pass,  that  those  which  ye  let 
remain  of  them  shall  be  pricks  in 
your  eyes,  and  thorns  in  your 
sides,  and  shall  vex  you  in  the  land 
wherein  ye  dwell.  Moreover,  it 
shall  come  to  pass,  that  I  shall  do 
unto  you  as  I  thought  to  do  unto 
them. 

Deut.  ix,  1-3.  Hear,  O  Israel; 
Thou  art  to  pass  over  Jordan  this 
day,  to  go  in  to  possess  nations 
greater  and  mightier  than  thyself, 
cities  great,  and  fenced  up  to  hea- 
ven; A  people  great  and  tall,  the 
children  of  the  Anakims,  whom 
thou  knowest,  and  of  zohom  thou 
hast  heard  say,  Who  can  stand  be- 
fore the  children  of  Anak?  Un- 
derstand therefore  this  day,  that 
the  Lord  thy  God  is  he  which 
goeth  over  before  thee;  as  a  con- 
suming fire  he  shall  destroy  them, 
and  he  shall  bring  them  down  be- 
fore thy  face:  so  shalt  thou  drive 
them  out,  and  destroy  them 
quickly,  as  the  Lord  hath  said  un- 
to thee. 

Deut  xi,  22-24.  For  if  ye  shall 
diligently  keep  all  these  command- 
ments which  I  command  you,  to 
do  them,  to  love  the  Lord  your 
God,  to  walk  in  all  his  ways,  and 
to  cleave  unto  him;  Then  will 
the  Lord  drive  out  all  these  na- 
tions from  before  ypu,  and  ye 
sliall  possess  greater  nations  and 
mightier  than  yourselves.  Every 
place  whereon  the  soles  of  your 
feet  shall  tread  shall  be  yours: 
from  the  wilderness  and  Lebanon, 
from  the  river,  the  river  Euph- 


rates, even  unto  the  uttermost  sea, 
shall  your  coast  be. 

Deut.  xii,  31.  Thou  shalt  not  do 
so  unto  the  Loud  thy  God:  for 
every  abomination  to  the  Lord 
which  he  hateth  hath  they  done 
unto  their  gods;  for  even  their 
sons  and  their  daughters  they 
have  burnt  in  the  fire  to  their 
gods. 

Deut.  xviii,  14.  For  these  na- 
tions, which  thou  shalt  possess, 
hearkened  unto  observers  of  times, 
and  unto  diviners:  but  as  for  thee, 
the  Lord  thy  God  hath  not  suffer- 
ed thee  so  to  do. 

Deut.  xxix,  16, 17.  (For  ye  know 
how  we  have  dwelt  in  the  land  of 
Egypt,  and  how  we  came  through 
the  nations  which  ye  passed  by; 
And  ye  have  seen  their  abomina- 
tions, and  their  idols,  wood  and 
stone,  silver  and  gold,  which 
were  among  them.) 

Deut.  xxxi,  3.  The  Lord  thy 
God,  he  will  go  over  before  thee, 
and  he  will  destroy  these  nations 
from  before  thee,  and  thou  shalt 
possess  them;  and  Joshua,  he 
shall  go  over  before  thee,  as  the 
Lord  hath  said. 

Josh,  xii,  7,  8.  And  these  are  the 
kings  of  the  country  which  Joshua 
and  the  children  of  Israel  smote 
on  this  side  Jordan  on  the  west, 
from  Baal-gad  in  the  valley  of 
Lebanon,  even  unto  the  mount 
Ilalak,  that  goeth  up  to  Seir; 
which  Joshua  gave  unto  the 
tribes  of  Israel  for  a  possession, 
according  to  their  divisions:  In 
the  mountains,  and  in  the  valleys, 
and  in  the  plains,  and  in  the 
springs,  and  in  the  wilderness, 
and  in  the  south  country;  the 
Hittites,  the  Amorites,  and  the 
Canaanites,  the  Perizzites,  the 
Hivites,  and  the  Jebusites. 

Joshua  xxiii,  5.  And  the  Lord 
your  God,  he  shall  expel  them 
from  before  you,  and  drive  them 
from  out  of  your  sight;  and  ye 
shall  possess  their  land,  as  the 
Lord  your  God  hath  promised  un- 
to you. 

Joshua  xxiv,  8.  And  I  brought 
you  into  the  land  of  the  Amorites, 
which  dwelt  on  the  other  side 
Jordan;  and  they  fought  with 
you:  and  I  gave  them  into  your 
hand,  that  ye  miglit  possess  their 
land;  and  I  destroyed  them  from 
before  you. 

1  Kings  xxi,  26.  And  he  did  very 
abominably  in  following  idols,  ac- 
cording to  all  things  as  did  the 
Amorites,  whom  the  Lord  cast 
out  before  the  children  of  Israel. 

2  Kings  xvii,  7,  8.  For  so  it  was, 
that  the  children  of  Israel  had 
sinned  against  the  Lord  their  God, 
which  had  brought  them  out  of  the 
land  of  Egypt,  from  under  the 
hand  of  Pharaoh  king  of  Egypt, 

12;; 


and  had  feared  other  gods.  And 
walked  in  the  statutes  of  the  hea- 
then, whom  the  Lord  cast  out 
from  before  the  children  of  Israel, 
and  of  the  kings  of  Israel,  which 
they  had  made. 

Ezra  ix,  10, 11.  And  now,  O  our 
God,  what  shall  we  say  after  this? 
for  we  have  forsaken  thy  com- 
mandments, Which  thou  hast 
commanded  by  thy  servants  the 
prophets,  saying.  The  land,  unto 
which  ye  go  to  possess  it,  is  an 
unclean  land  with  the  filthiness  ol 
the  people  of  the  lands,  with  their 
"abominations,  which  have  filled  it 
from  one  end  to  another  with 
their  uncleanness. 

Neh.  ix,  24, 25.  So  the  children 
went  in  and  possessed  the  land, 
and  thou  subduedst  before  them 
the  inhabitants  of  the  land,  the 
Canaanites,  and  gavest  them  into 
their  hands,  with  their  kings, 
and  the  people  of  the  land, 
that  they  might  do  with  them 
as  they  would.  And  they  took 
strong  cities,  and  a  fat  land,  and 
possessed  houses  full  of  all  goods, 
wells  digged,  vineyards  and  olive- 
yards,  and  fruit  trees  in  abund- 
ance: so  they  did  eat,  and  were 
filled,  and  became  fat,  and  de- 
lighted themselves  in  thy  great 
goodness. 

Ps.  Ixxviii,  55.  He  cast  out  the 
heathen  also  before  them,  and 
divided  them  an  inheritance  by 
line,  and  made  the  tribes  of  Israel 
to  dwell  in  their  tents. 

Acts  xiii,  19.  And  when  he  had 
destroyed  seven  nations  in  the 
land  of  Chanaan,  he  divided  their 
land  to  them  by  lot. 

REFLECTIONS  UPON  THE 
CONQUEST. 

Num.  xxi,  29-31.  Woe  to  thee, 
Moab!  thou  art  undone,  O  people 
of  Chemosh!  he  hath  given  his 
sons  that  escaped,  and  his  daugh- 
ters, into  captivity  unto  Sihon 
king  of  the  Amorites.  We  have 
shot  at  them;  lleshbon  is  perished 
even  unto.  Dibon,  and  we  have 
laid  them  waste  even  unto  Noph- 
ah,  which  reacheth  unto  Medeba. 
Thus  Israel  dwelt  in  ihe  land  ol 
the  Amorites. 

Deut.  iv,  3Y,  38.  And  because  he 
loved  thy  fathers,  therefore  he 
chose  their  seed  after  them,  and 
brought  thee  out  in  his  sight  with 
his  mighty  power  out  of  Egypt; 
To  drive  out  nations  from  before 
thee,  greater  and  mightier  tiian 
thou  art,  to  bring  thee  in,  to  give 
thee  their  land  for  an  inheritance, 
as  it  is  this  day. 

Deitt.  xxvi,  3.  And  thou  shalt 
go  unto  the  priest  that  shall  be  in 
those  days,  and  say  unto  him,  I 
profess  this  day  unto  the  Lord 
thy  God,  that  I  am  come  unto  the 


CANAAiT. 


cotititry  which  the  Lord  sware 
unto  our  fathers  for  to  give  us. 

Neh.  ix,  22.  Moreover,  thou 
gavest  them  khigdoms and  nations, 
and  didst  divide  them  into  cor- 
ners: so  they  possessed  the  land 
of  Sihon,  and  the  land  of  the  king 
of  Heshbon,  and  the  land  of  Og 
king  of  Bashan. 

2  Qhron.  xx,  7.  Art  not  thou  our 
God,  w//o  didst  drive  out  the  in- 
habitants of  this  land  before  thy 
people  Israel,  and  gavest  it  to  the 
seed  of  Abraham  thy  friend  for 
ever? 

Ps.  xliv,  1-3.  We  have  heard 
with  our  ears,  0  God,  our  fathers, 
have  told  us,  what  work  thou 
didst  In  their  days,  in  the  times 
of  old.  How  thou  didst  drive  out 
the  heathen  with  thy  hand,  and 
plantedst  them;  hov)  thou  didst 
afflict  the  people,  and  cast  them 
out.  For  they  got  not  the  land 
in  possession  by  their  own  sword, 
neither  did  their  own  arm  save 
them:  but  thy  right  hand,  and 
thine  arm,  and  the  light  of  thy 
countenance,  because  thou  hadst 
a  favour  unto  them. 

Ps.  xlvii,  4.  He  shall  choose  our 
inheritance  for  us,  the  excellency 
of  Jacob,  whom  he  loved.    Selah. 

Ps.  IxxvliJ,  54.  And  he  brought 
them  to  the  border  of  his  sanc- 
tuary, even  to  this  mountain, 
which  his  right  hand  had  pur- 
chased. 

Ps.  cv,  44.  And  gave  them  the 
lands  of  the  heathen:  and  ttiey  in- 
herited the  labour  of  the  people. 

Ps.  cyi,  10.  And  he  saved  them 
from  the  hand  of  him  that  hated 
them,  and  redeemed  them  from 
the  hand  of  the  enemy. 

Ps.  cxi,  6.  He  hath  shewed  his 
people  the  power  of  his  works, 
that  he  may  give  them  the  heri- 
tage of  the  heathen, 

Ps.  cxxxv,  10-12.  Who  smote 
great  nations,  and  slew  mighty 
kings;  Sihon  king  of  the  Amorites, 
and  Og  king  of  Bashan,  and  all 
the  kingdoms  of  Canaan:  And 
gave  their  laud  for  an  heritage, 
an  heritage  unto  Israel  his 
people. 

Ps.  cxxxvl,  21-23.  And  gave 
their  land  for  an  heritage:  for  his 
mercy  endureth  for  ever:  Even 
an  heritage  unto  Israel  his  ser- 
vant, for  his  mercy  endureth  for 
ever.  Who  remembereth  us  in 
our  loAv  estate:  for  his  mercy  en- 
dureth for  ever. 

Amos  il,  9.  Yet  destroyed  I  the 
Amorite  before  them,  whose 
aeight  teas  like  the  height  of  the 
cedars,  and  he  7vas  strong  as  the 
oaks;  yet  I  destroyed  his  fruit 
from  above,  and  his  roots  from 
beneath. 


SOME   OF   THE  ABORIGINES 
UNEXPELLED, 

Josh,  xiii,  13.  Nevertheless,  the 
children  of  Israel  expelled  not 
the  Gf'sliurites,  nor  the  Maachath- 
ites;  but  the  Geshurites  and  tlie 
Maachathites  dwell  among  the 
Israelites  until  this  day. 

Josh.  XV,  63.  As  for  the  Jebus- 
ites,  the  inhabitants  of  Jerusalem, 
the  children  of  Judah  could  not 
drive  them  out:  but  the  Jebusites 
dwell  with  the  children  of  Judah 
at  Jerusalem  unto  this  day. 

Josh,  xvii,  12.  Yet  the  children 
of  Manasseh  could  not  drive  out 
the  inhabitants  of  those  cities;  but 
the  Canaanites  would  dwell  in 
that  land. 

Judges  \,  21.  And  the  children 
of  Benjamin  did  not  drive  out  the 
Jebusites  that  inhabited  Jerusa- 
lem; but  the  Jebusites  dwell  with 
the  children  of  Benjamin  in  Jeru- 
salem unto  this  day. 

Judges  i,  27,  29,  31-36.  Neither 
did  Manasseh  drive  out  the  in- 
habitants of  Beth-shean  and  her 
towns,  nor  Taanach  and  her 
towns,  nor  the  inhabitants  of  Dor 
and  her  towns,  nor  the  inhabi- 
tants of  Ibleam  and  her  towns, 
nor  the  inhabitants  of  Megiddo 
and  her  towns:  but  the  Canaanites 
would  dwell  in  that  land.  Neither 
did  Ephraim  drive  out  the  Canaan- 
ites tliat  dwelt  in  Gezer:  but  the 
Canaanites  dwelt  in  Gezer  among 
them.  Neither  did  Asher  drive 
out  the  inhabitants  of  Accho,  nor 
the  inhabitants  of  Zidon,  nor  of 
Ahlab,  nor  of  Achzib,  nor  of 
Helbah,  nor  of  Apluk,  nor  of  Re- 
hob:  But  the  Asherites  dwelt 
among  the  Canaanites,  the  inhabi- 
tants of  the  land;  for  they  did  not 
drive  tliem  out.  Neither  did 
Naphtali  drive  out  the  inhabi- 
tants of  Beth-shemesh,  nor  the  in- 
habitants of  Beth-anath;  but  he 
dwelt  among  the  Canaanites,  the 
inhabitants  of  the  land:  neverthe- 
less the  inhabitants  of  Beth-she- 
mesh and  of  Beth-anath  became 
tributaries  unto  them.  And  the 
Amorites  forced  the  children  of 
Dan  into  the  mountain:  for  they 
would  not  suffer  them  to  come 
down  to  the  valley:  But  the 
Amorites  would  dwell  in  mount 
Heres  in  Aijalon,  and  in  Shaal- 
bim;  yet  the  hand  of  the  house  of 
Joseph  prevailed,  so  that  they 
became  tributaries.  And  the  coast 
of  the  Amorites  was  from  the 
going  up  to  Akrabbim,  from  the 
rock,  and  upward. 

Judges  \\\,  1-3.  Now  these  are 
the  nations  which  the  Lord  left, 
to  prove  Israel  by  them;  {even  as 
many  of  Israel  as  had  not  known 
all  the  wars  of  Canaan;  Only  that 
the  generations  of  the  children  of 
Israel  might  know  to  teach  them 
war,  at  the  least  such  as  before 
127 


knew  nothing  thereof;)  Namely, 
five  lords 'of  the  Philistines,  and 
all  the  Canaanites,  and  the  Sidon- 
ians,  and  tlie  Hlvites  that  dwelt  in 
mount  Lebanon,  from  mount 
Baal-liermon  unto  the  entering  in 
of  Ilamath. 

Ps.  cvi,  34, 35.  They  did  not  de- 
stroy the  nations,  concerning 
whom  the  Lord  commanded 
them:  But  were  mingled  among 
the  heathen,  and  learned  their 
works. 

AND  MADE  TRIBUTARIES. 

Joshua  xvl,  10.  And  they  drave 
not  out  the  Canaanites  that  dwelt 
in  Gezer:  but  the  Canaanites  dwelt 
among  the  Ephraimites  unto  this 
day,  and  serve  un  der  tribute. 

Joshua  xvii,  13.  Yet  it  came  to 
pass,  when  the  children  of  Israel 
were  waxen  strong,  that  they  put 
the  Canaanites  to  tribute;  but  did 
not  utterly  drive  tliem  out. 

Judges  \,  28,  30.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  when  Israel  was  strong,  that 
they  put  the  Canaanites  to  tribute, 
aad  did  not  utterly  drive  them 
out.  Neither  did  Zebulun  drive 
out  the  inhabitants  of  Kitron,  nor 
the  inhabitants  of  Nahalol:  but 
the  Canaanites  dwelt  among  them, 
and  became  tributaries. 

1  Kings  ix,  20,  21.  And  all  the 
people  that  were  left  of  the  Amo- 
rites, Hittites,  Perizzites,  Hivites, 
and  Jebusites,  which  were  not  of 
the  children  of  Israel.  Their 
children  that  were  left  after  them 
in  the  land,  whom  the  children  of 
Israel  also  were  not  able  utterly 
to  destroy,  upon  those  did  Solo- 
mon levy  a  tribute  of  bond-service 
unto  this  day. 

2  Qhron.  viii,  7,  S.^Asfor  all  the 
people  that  icere '  left  of  the 
Hittites,  and  the  Amorites,  and  the 
Perizzites,  and  the  Hivites,  and 
the  Jebusites,  which  were  not  of 
Israel,  But  of  their  children,  who 
were  left  after  them  in  the  land, 
whom  the  children  of  Israel  con- 
sumed not,  them  did  Solomon 
make  to  pay  tribute  until  this 
day. 

CANAAN  POSSESSED  AC- 
CORDING TO  DIVINE  PRO- 
MISE. 
Josh,  xxi,  43-45.  And  the  Lord 
gave  unto  Israel  all  the  land  which 
he  sware  to  give  unto  their  fathers; 
and  they  possessed  it,  and  dwelt 
therein.  And  the  Lord  gave  them 
rest  round  about,  according  to  all 
that  he  sware  unto  their  fathers: 
and  there  stood  not  a  man  of  all 
their  enemies  belore  them;    the 
Lord  delivered  all  their  enemies 
into  their  hand.    There  failed  not 
ought  of  any  good  thing  which 
the  Lord  had  spoken  unto   the 
house  of  Israel:  all  came  to  pass. 
Josh,  xxiil,  1-4.  And  it  came  to 


CANAAN". 


pass,  a  long  time  after  that  the 
Lord  had  given  rest  unto  Israel 
from  all  their  enemies  round 
about,  that  Joshua  waxed  old,  and 
stricken  in  age.  And  Joshua 
called  for  all  Israel,  and  for  their 
elders,  and  for  their  heads,  and 
for  their  judges,  and  for  their 
officers,  and  said  unto  them,  I  am 
old  and  stricken  in  agce:  And  ye 
h  ive  seen  all  that  the  IiObd  your 
God  hath  done  unto  all  these  na- 
tions because  of  you;  for  the  Lord 
your  God  is  he  that  hath  fought 
for  you.  Behold,  I  have  divided 
unto  you  by  lot  these  nations  that 
remain,  to  he  an  inheritance  for 
your  tribes,  from  Jordan,  with  all 
the  nations  that  I  have  cut  oflf, 
even  unto  the  great  sea  westward. 

Josh,  xxiv,  13,  28.  And  I  have 
given  you  a  land  for  which  ye  did 
not  labour,  and  cities  which  ye 
built  not,  and  ye  dwell  in  them;  of 
the  vineyards  and  oliveyards 
which  ye  planted  not  do  ye  eat. 
So  Joshua  let  the  people  depart, 
every  man  unto  his  inheritance. 

Judges  ii,  6.  And  when  Joshua 
had  let  the  people  go,  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  went  every  man 
unto  his  inheritance  to  possess 
the  land. 

Judges  xxi,  24.  And  the  children 
of  Israel  departed  thence  at  that 
time,  every  man  to  his  tribe,  and 
!o  his  family,  and  they  went  out 
from  thence  every  man  to  his  In- 
lieritance. 

CHART  FOR  DIVISION 
OF  THE  COUNTRY. 

Num.  xxxiv,  2-15.  Command 
the  children  of  Israel,  and  say  un- 
to them.  When  ye  come  into  the 
land  of  Canaan,  (this  is  the  land 
that  shall  fall  unto  you  for  an  in- 
iieritance,  even  tlie  land  of  Canaan, 
with  the  coasts  thereof,)  Then 
your  south  quarter  shall  be  from 
Uie  wilderness  of  Zin,  along  by  the 
coast  of  Edom,  and  your  south 
border  shall  be  the  outmost  coast  of 
the  salt  sea  eastward:  And  your 
border  shall  turn  from  the  south 
to  the  ascent  of  Akrabbim,  and 
pass  on  to  Zin:  and  the  going 
iorth  thereof  shall  be  from  the 
south  to  Kadesh-barnea,  and  shall 
go  on  to  Hazar-addar,  and  pass  on 
to  Azmon:  And  the  border  shall 
fetch  a  compass  from  Azmon  unto 
the  river  of  Egypt,  and  the  goings 
out  of  It  shall  be  at  the  sea.  And 
■fs/or  the  western  border,  ye  shall 
iveu  have  the  great  sea  for  a  bor- 
■len  this  shall  be  your  west  border. 
\nd  this  shall  be  your  north  bor- 
lor,  from  the  great  sea  ye  shall 
,>i)int  out  for  you  mount  Hor: 
t-'rom  mount  llor  ye  shall  point 
out  1/our  border  unto  the  entrance 
ijf  Ilamath;  and  the  goings  forth 
of  the  border  shall  be  to  Zedad. 
And  the  border  shall  go  on  to 
i^lphron,  and  the  goings  out  of  it 


shall  be  at  Hazar-enan:  this  shall 
be  your  north  border.  And  ye 
shall  point  out  your  east  border 
from  Hazar-enan  to  Shepham. 
And  the  coast  shall  go  down  from 
Shepham  to  Riblah,  on  the  east 
side  of  Ain;  and  the  border  shall 
descend,  and  shall  reach  unto  the 
side  of  the  sea  of  Chinnereth 
eastward.  And  the  border  shall 
go  down  to  Jordan,  and  the  go- 
ings out  of  it  shall  be  at  the  salt 
sea:  this  shall  be  your  land,  with 
the  coasts  thereof  round  about. 
And  Moses  commanded  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel,  saying.  This  is  the 
land  which  ye  shall  inherit  by  lot, 
which  the  Lord  commanded  to 
give  unto  the  nine  tribes,  and  to 
the  half  tribe.  For  the  tribe  of 
the  children  of  Reuben,  according 
to  the  house  of  their  fathers,  and 
the  tribe  of  the  children  of  Gad, 
according  to  the  house  of  their 
fathers,  have  received  their  inheri- 
tance, and  half  the  tribe  of  Ma- 
nasseh  have  received  their  in- 
heritance. The  two  tribes  and  the 
half-tribe  have  received  their  in- 
heritance on  this  side  Jordan  near 
Jericho,  eastward,  toward  the  sun- 
rising. 

Josh,  xii,  4-6.  And  the  coast  of 
Og  king  of  Bashan,  lohich  was  of 
the  remnant  of  the  giants,  that 
dwelt  at  Ashtaroth  and  at  Edrei, 
And  reigned  in  mount  Hermon, 
and  in  Salcah,  and  in  all  Bashan, 
unto  the  border  of  the  Geshurites, 
and  the  Maachathites,  and  half 
Gilead,  the  border  of  Sihon  king 
of  Heshbon:  Them  did  Moses, 
the  servant  of  the  Lord,  and  the 
children  of  Israel.smite;  and  Moses, 
the  servant  of  the  Lord,  gave  it 
for  a  possession  unto  the  Reuben- 
ites,  and  the  Gadites,  and  the  half- 
tribe  of  Manasseh. 

Josh,  xiii,  3-12.  From  Sihor, 
which  is  before  Egypt,  even  unto 
the  borders  of  Ekron  northward, 
which  is  counted  to  theCanaanite: 
Ave  lords  of  the  Philistines;  the 
Gazathites,  and  the  Ashdothites, 
the  Eshkalonites,  the  Gittites,  and 
the  Ekronites;  also  the  Avites; 
From  the  south,  all  the  land  of  the 
Canaanites,  and  Mearah  that  is 
beside  the  Sidonians,  unto  Aphek, 
to  the  borders  of  the  Amorites; 
And  tlie  land  of  the  Giblites,  and 
all  Lebanon,  toward  the  sun-ris- 
ing, irom  Baal-gad  under  mount 
Ilermon,  .unto  the  entering  into 
Ilamath:  All  the  inhabitants  of 
the  hill-country,  from  Lebanon 
unto  Misreplioth-maim,  and  all 
the  Sidonians.  them  will  I  drive 
out  from  before  the  children  of 
Israel;  only  divide  thou  it  by  lot 
unto  the  Israelites  for  an  inlieri- 
tance,  as  I  have  commanded  thee. 
Now  therefore  divide  this  land  for 
an  inlieritance  unlo  the  nine  tribes 
and  the  halt-tribe  of  JLaiasseh; 
With  whom  the  Reubcuites  and 
128 


the  Gadites  have  received  their 
inheritance,  which  Moses  gave 
them,  beyond  Jordan  eastward, 
even  as  Moses,  the  servant  of  the 
Lord,  gave  them;  From  Aroer, 
that  is  upon  the  bank  of  the  river 
Arnon,  and  the  city  that  is  in  the 
midst  of  the  river,  and  all  the 
plain  of  Medeba  unto  Dibon;  And 
all  the  cities  of  Sihon  king  of  the

mon, and  all  Bashan  unto  Salcah; 
All  the  kingdom  of  Og  in  Bashan, 
which  reigned  in  Ashtaroth,  and

remnant  of  the  giants:  for  these 
did  Moses  smite,  and  cast  them 
out.

Num.xxxii,  19,33.  P'or  we  will  not 
inherit  with  them  on  yonder  side 
Jordan,  or  forward;  bec.iuse  our 
inheritance  is  fallen  to  us  on  this 
side  Jordan  eastward.  And  Moses 
gave  unto  them,  even  to  tlie  chil- 
dren of  Gad,  and  to  the  children  of 
Reuben,  and  unto  half  the  tribe  of 
Manasseh  the  son  of  J03ei)h,  the

Amorites,  and  the  kingdom  of  Og 
king  of  Bashan,  the  laud,  with  the 
cities  thereof  in  the  coasts,  even

Josh,  xxii,  1-4, 7, 9.  Then  Joshua 
called  the  Reubenites.  and  the 
Gadites,  and  the  half-  tribe  of 
Manasseh,  And  said  unto  them. 
Ye  have  kept  all  tint  Moses,  the 
servant  of  the  Louu,  commanded 
you,  and  have  obeyed  my  voice  in 
all  that  I  commanded  you.  Ye 
have  not  left  your  brethren  these 
many  days  unto  this  day,  buthave 
kept  the  charge  of  the  command- 
ment of  the  Lord  your  God.  And 
now  the  Lord  your  God  hath 
given  rest  unto  your  brethren,  as 
he  promised  them:  therefore  now 
return  ye,  and  get  ye  unto  your 
tents,  and  unto  the  land  of  your 
possession,  which  Moses,  the  ser- 
vant of  the  Lord,  gave  you  on  the 
other  side  Jordan.  Now  to  the 
o?ie  half  of  the  tribe  of  M  anasseh, 
Moses  had  given  possession  in 
Bashan:  but  unto  the  other  half 
thereof  gave  Joshua  among  their 
brelhren  on  this  side  Jordan 
westward.  And  when  Joshua 
sent  them  away  also  unto  their 
tents,  then  he  blessed  them:  And 
the  children  of  Reuben,  and  the 
children  of  Gad,  and  the  half-tribe 
of  Manasseh,  returned,  and  de- 
parted from  the  children  of  Israel 
out  of  Shiloh,  which  is  in  the  land 
of  Canaan,  to  go  unto  the  country 
of  Gilead,  to  the  land  of  their 
possession,   whereof   they    were 


possessed,  according  to  the  worrT 
of  the  LoitD  by  the  hand  of 
Moses.

Josh,  xvi,  1-4.  And  the  lot  of  the 
children  of  Joseph  fell  from  Jor- 
dan by  Jericho,  unto  the  water  of 
Jericho  on  the  east,  to  the  wilder- 
ness that  goeth  up  from  Jericho, 
throughout  mount  Beth-el,  And 
\  goeth  out  from  Beth-el  to  Luz, 
1  and  passeth  along  unto  the  bor- 
ders of  Archai  to  Ataroth,  And 
goeth  down  westward  to  the 
coast  of  Japhleti,  unto  the  coast 
of  Beth-honm  the  nether,  and  to 
Gezer:  and  the  goings  ont  thereof 
are  at  the  sea.  So  the  children  of 
Joseph,  Manasseh,  and  Ephraim, 
took  their  inheritance. 

Josh,  xvii,  10.  Southward  it  was 
Ephraim's,  and  northward  it  was 


CANAAN. 


Manasseh'e,  and  the  sea  Is  his  bor- 
der; and  they  met  together  in 
Asher  on  tlie  north,  and  in 
Issacliar  on  the  east. 

MANASSEH,  (SINGLY). 

Num.  xxxii,  41,42.  And  Jair  the 
son  of  Manasseh  went  and  took 
the  small  towns  thereof,  and 
called  them  Havoth-jair.  And 
Nobah  went  and  took  Kenath, 
and  the  villages  thereof,  and 
called  it  Nobah,  after  his  own 
name. 

Josh.  xiii.  29-32.  And  Moses 
gave  inheritance  unto  the  half- 
tribe  of  Manasseh:  and  this  was 
the  possession  of  the  half-tribe  of 
the  children  of  Manasseh,  by 
their  families.  And  their  coast 
was  from  Mahanaim,  all  Bashan, 
all  the  kingdom  of  Og  king  of 
Bashan,  and  all  the  towns  of  Jair, 
which  are  in  Bashan,  threescore 
cities;  And  half  Gilead,  and  Ash- 
taroth,  and  Edrei,  cities  of  the 
kingdom  of  Og  in  Bashan,  toere 
pertaining  unto  the  children  of 
Machir  the  son  of  Matiasseh,  even 
to  the  one  half  of  the  children  of 
Machir,  by  their  families.  These 
are  the  countries  which  Moses  did 
distribute  for  inheritance  in  the 
plains  of  Moab,  on  the  other  side 
Jordan,  by  Jericho,  eastward. 

Josh,  xvii,  1-9, 11.  There  was 
also  a  lot  for  the  tribe  of  Ma- 
nasseh, (for  he  was  the  first-born 
of  Joseph,)  to  wit,  for  Machir,  the 
flrst-born  of  Manasseh,  the  father 
of  Gilead:  because  he  was  a  man 
of  war,  therefore  he  had  Gilead 
and  Bashan.  There  was  also  a  lot 
for  the  rest  of  the  children  of 
Manasseh  by  their  families;  for 
the  children  of  Abiezer,  and  for 
the  children  of  Helek,  and  for  the 
children  of  Asriel,  and  for  the 
children  of  Shechem,  and  for  the 
children  of  Hepher,  and  for  the 
children  of  Shemida:  these  were 
the  male-children  of  Manasseh  the 
son  of  Joseph  by  their  families. 
But  Zelophchad,  the  son  of 
Hepher,  the  son  of  Gilead,  the  son 
of  Machir,  tlie  son  oi  Manasseh, 
had  no  sons,  but  daughters:  and 
these  are  the  names  of  his  daugh- 
ters, Mahlah,  and  Noah,  Hoglah, 
Milcah,  and  Tirzah.  And  they 
came  near  before  i:ieazar  the 
priest,  and  before  Josliua  the  son 
of  Nun,  and  before  the  princes, 
saying,  The  Lokd  commanded 
Moses  to  give  us  an  inheritance 
among  our  brethren:  therefore, 
according  to  the  commandment  of 
the  Lord,  he  gave  them  an  in- 
heritance among  the  brethren  of 
their  father.  And  there  fell  ten 
portions  to  Manasseh,  beside  the 
land  of  Gilead  and  Bashan  which 
were  on  the  other  side  Jordan; 
Because  the  daughters  of  Ma- 
nasseh had  an  inheritance  among 
his    sons:    and  the    rest  of  Ma- 


nasseh's  sons  had  the  land  of 
Gilead.  And  the  coast  of  Ma- 
nasseh was  from  Asher  to  Mich- 
methah,  that  i/e<A  before  Shechem, 
and  the  border  went  along  on  the 
right  hand  unto  the  inhabitants  of 
En-tappuah.  Now  Manasseh  had 
the  land  of  Tappuah:  but  Tappuah, 
on  the  border  of  Manasseh,  be- 
longed to  the  children  of  Ephraim; 
And  the  coast  descended  unto 
the  river  Kanah,  southward  of 
the  river:  these  cities  of  Ephraim 
are  among  the  cities  of  Manasseh: 
the  coast  of  Manasseh  also  was  on 
the  north  side  of  the  river,  and 
the  oikgoings  of  it  were  at  the 
sea.  And  Manasseh  had  In  Is- 
sachar,  and  in  Asher,  Beth-shean 
and  her  towns,  and  Ibleam  and 
her  towns,  and  the  inhabitants  of 
Dor  and  her  towns,  and  the  in- 
habitants of  En -dor  and  her 
towns,  and  the  inhabitants  of 
Taanach  and  her  towns,  and  the 
inhabitants  of  Megiddo  and  her 
towns,  even  three  countries. 

EPHRAIM,  (SINGLY). 
Josh,  xvi,  5-9.  And  the  border 
of  the  children  of  Ephraim,  ac- 
cording to  their  families,  was 
thus:  even  the  border  of  their 
inheritance  on  the  east  side 
was  Ataroth  -  adar,  unto  Beth- 
horon  the  upper,  And  the  bor- 
der went  out  toward  the  sea  to 
Michmethah  on  the  north  side; 
and  the  border  went  about  east- 
ward unto  Taanath  -  shiloh,  and 
passed  by  it  on  the  east  to  Jano- 
hah,  And  it  went  down  from 
Janohah  to  Ataroth,  and  to  Naa- 
ratb,  and  came  to  Jericho,  and 
went  out  at  Jordan.  The  border 
went  out  from  Tappuah  westward 
unto  the  river  Kauah;  and  the 
goings  out  thereof  were  at  the 
sea.  This  is  the  inheritance  of  the 
tribe  of  the  children  of  Ephraim 
by  their  families.  And  the  separate 
cities  for  the  children  of  Ephraim 
were  among  the  inheritance  of  the 
children  of  Manasseh,  all  the 
cities  with  their  villages. 

BENJAMIN. 
Josh,  xviii,  11-28.  And  the  lot 
of  the  tribe  of  the  children  of 
Benjamin  came  up  according  to 
their  families:  and  the  coast  of 
their  lot  came  forth  between  the 
children  of  Judah  and  the  chil- 
dren of  Joseph.  And  their  border 
on  the  north  side  was  from  Jor- 
don;  and  the  border  went  up  to 
the  side  of  Jericho  on  the  north 
side,  and  went  up  through  the 
mountains  westward;  and  the  go- 
ings out  thereof  were  at  the  wil- 
derness of  Beth-aven.  And  the 
border  went  over  from  thence  to- 
ward Luz,  to  the  side  of  Luz, 
(which  is  Beth-el,)  southward;  and 
the  border  descended  to  Ataroth- 
adar,  near  the  hill  that  lieth  on 
132 


the  south  "^fde  of  the  nether  Beth- 
horon.  And  the  border  was 
drawn  thence,  and  compassed  the 
corner  of  the  sea  southward,  from 
the  hill  that  lieth  before  Beth- 
horon  southward;  and  the  goings 
out  thereof  were  at  Kirjath-baal, 
(which  is  Kirjath-jearim,)  a  city  of 
the  children  of  Judah.  This  loas 
the  west  quarter.  And  the  south 
quarter  loas  from  the  end  of  Kir- 
jath-jearim, and  the  border  went 
out  on  the  west,  and  went  out  to 
the  well  of  waters  of  Nephtoah; 
And  the  border  came  down  to  the 
end  of  the  mountain  that  lieth  be- 
fore the  valley  of  the  son  of  Ilin- 
nora,  and  which  is  in  the  valley  of 
the  giants  on  the  north,  and 
descended  to  the  valley  of  Hin- 
nom,  to  the  side  of  Jebusi  on  the 
south,  and  descended  to  En-rogel, 
And  was  drawn  from  the  north; 
and  went  forth  to  En-shemesh, 
and  went  forth  toward  Geliloth, 
which  is  over  against  the  going 
up  of  Adummim,and  descended  to 
the  stone  of  Bohan  the  son  of 
Reuben,  And  passed  along  to- 
ward the  side  over  against  Arabah 
northward,  and  went  down  unto 
Arabah;  And  the  border  passed 
along  to  the  side  of  Beth-hoglah 
northward;  and  the  outgoings  of 
the  border  were  at  the  north  bay 
of  the  salt  sea,  at  the  south  end 
of  Jordan.  This  was  the  south 
coast.  And  Jordan  was  the  bor- 
der of  it  on  the  east  side.  This 
toa,s  the  inheritance  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Benjamin,  by  the  coasts 
thereof  round  about,  according  to 
their  families.  Now  the  cities  of 
the  tribe  of  the  children  of  Ben- 
jamin, according  to  their  families, 
were  Jericho,  and  Beth-hoglah, 
and  the  valley  of  Keziz,  And 
Beth-arabah,  and  Zeraaraim,  and 
Beth-el,  And  Avim,  and  Parah, 
and  Ophrah,  And  Cephar-haam- 
monai,  and  Ophni,  and  Gaba:

And  Mizpeh,  and  Cephirah,  and 
Mo^ah,  And  Rekera,  and  Irpeel, 
and  Taralah,  And  Zelah,  Eleph, 
and  Jebusi,  (which  is  Jerusalem,) 
Gibeath,  and  Kirjath:  fourteen 
cities  with  their  villages.  This  is 
the  inheritance  of  the  childn^n  of 
Benjamin,  according  to  their 
families. 

INHERITANCE  OF  JOSHUA 

AND  CALEB. 
Josh.  xix,49,50.  When  they  had 
made  an  end  of  dividing  the  land 
for  inheritance  by  their  coasts,  t  ho 
children  of  Israel  gave  an  inherit- 
ance to  Joshua  the  son  of  Nun 
among  them:  According  to  tho 
word  of  the  Lord,  they  gave  him 
the  city  which  he  asked,  even 
Timnath-serah  in  mount  Ephraim: 
and  he  built  the  city,  and  dwelt 
therein. 


CANAAIT, 


Josh.  XV,  13,  And  tinto  Caleb 
the  son  of  Jcpluinneh  he  gave  a 
part  among  the  children  of  Judah, 
according  to  the  commandment 
of  the  Lord  to  Joshua,  even  the 
city  of  Arba,  the  father  of  Anak, 
which  city  is  Hebron. 

1  Qhron.  vi,  54-56.  Now  these 
are  their  dwelling-places  through- 
out their  castles,  in  their  coasts, 
of  the  sons  of  Aaron,  of  the 
families  of  the  Kohathites;  for 
theirs  was  the  lot.  And  they 
gave  them  Hebron  in  the  land  of 
Judah,  and  the  suburbs  thereof 
roimd  about  it.  But  the  fields  of 
the  city,  and  the  villages  thereof, 
they  gave  to  Caleb  the  son  of 
Jephunneh. 

METROPOLIS    OF 

CANAAN, 

JERUSALEM,  ANCIENTLY 

CALLED  JEBUS. 

2  Sam.  V,  6-8.  And  the  king  and 
his  men  went  to  Jerusalem  unto 
the  Jebusites,  the  inhabitants  of 
the  land;  which  spake  unto  David, 
saying.  Except  tliou  take  away 
the  blind  and  the  lame,  thou  shalt 
not  come  in  hither:  thinking, 
David  cannot  come  in  hither. 
Nevertheless  David  took  the 
strong  hold  of  Zion:  the  same  is 
the  city  of  David.  And  David 
said  on  that  day,  Whosoever  ge^ 
teth  up  to  the  gutter,  and  smiteth 
the  Jebusites,  and  the  lame  and 
the  blind,  that  are  hated  of  David's 
soul,  he  shall  be  chief  and  captain. 
Wherefore  they  said.  The  blind 
and  the  lame  shall  not  come  into 
the  house. 

1  Chron.  xi,  4,  5.  And  David  and 
all  Israel  went  to  Jerusalem, 
which  is  Jebus,  where  the  Jebus- 
ites were,  the  inhabitants  of  the 
land.  And  the  inhabitants  of 
Jebus  said  to  David,  Thou  shalt 
not  come  hither.  Nevertheless 
David  took  the  castle  of  Zion, 
which  is  the  city  of  David. 

THE  DIVINE  CHOICE  AND 

SCENE  OF  NATIONAL 

GATHERINGS. 

2  (^hron.  vi,  5,  6.  Since  the  day 
that  I  brought  forth  my  people 
out  of  the  land  of  Egypt,  I  chose 
no  city  among  all  the  tribes  of 
Israel  to  build  an  house  in,  that 
my  name  miglit  be  there;  neither 
chose  I  any  man  to  be  a  ruler  over 
my  people  Israel:  But  I  have 
chosen  Jerusalem,  that  my  name 
might  be  there;  and  have  chosen 
David  to  be  over  my  people 
Israel. 

2  Chron.  xv,  10.  So  they  gather- 
ed themselves  together  at  Jeru- 
salem in  the  third  month,  in  the 
fifteenth  year  of  the  reign  of  Asa. 

F6.  xlviii,  2,  11-13.  Beautiful  for 


situation,  the  joy  of  the  whole 
earth,  is  mount  Zion,  on  the  sides 
of  the  north,  the  city  of  the  great 
King.  Let  mount  Zion  rejoice, 
let  the  daughters  of  Judah  be 
glad,  because  of  thy  judgments. 
Walk  about  Zion,  and  go  round 
about  her:  tell  tlie  towers  thereof. 
Mark  ye  well  her  bulwarks,  con- 
sider her  palaces;  that  ye  may 
tell  it  to  the  generation  follow- 
ing. 

Ps.  cxxii,  2-5.  Our  feet  shall 
stand  witliin  thy  gates,  O  Jerusa- 
lem. Jerusalem  is  builded  as  a 
city  that  is  compact  together: 
Whither  the  tribes  go  up,  the 
tribes  of  the  Lord,  unto  the  testi- 
mony of  Israel,  to  give  thanks 
unto  the  name  of  the  Lord.  For 
there  are  set  thrones  of  judgment, 
the  thrones  of  the  house  of  David. 

Isa.  Ixv,  18, 19.  But  be  ye  glad 
and  rejoice  for  ever  in  that  which 
I  create:  for,  behold,  I  create 
Jerusalem  a  rejoicing,  and  her 
people  a  joy.  And  I  will  rejoice 
in  Jerusalem,  and  joy  in  my  peo- 
ple: and  the  voice  of  weeping 
shall  be  no  more  heard  in  her, 
nor  the  voice  of  crying. 

Zech.  viil,  3.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  I  am  returned  unto  Zion. 
and  will  dwell  in  the  midst  of 
Jerusalem:  and  Jerusalem  shall 
be  called,  A  city  of  truth;  and  the 
mountain  of  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
Tiie  holy  mountain. 

Acts  ii,  5.  And  there  were  dwell-

ITS  DIVINE  PROTECTION. 

2  Kings  xix,  32-34.  Therefore 
thus  saith  the  Lord  concerning 
the  king  of  Assyria,  He  shall  not 
come  into  this  city,  nor  shoot  an 
arrow  there,  nor  come  before  it 
with  shield,  nor  cast  a  bank 
against  it.  By  the  way  that  he 
came,  by  the  same  shall  he  re- 
turn, and  shall  not  come  into  this 
city,  saith  the  Lord.  For  I  will 
defend  this  city,  to  save  it,  for 
mine  own  sake,  and  for  my  ser- 
vant David's  sake. 

Ps.  xlviii,  3-5.  God  is  known  in 
her  palaces  for  a  refuge.  For,  lo, 
the  kings  were  assembled,  they 
passed  by  together.  They  saw 
it,  and  so  they  marvelled;  they 
were  troubled,  and  hasted  away. 

Isa.  xxxiii,  20.  Look  upon  Zion, 
the  city  of  our  solemnities:  thine 
eyes  shall  see  Jerusalem  a  quiet 
habitation,  a  tabernacle  that  shall 
not  be  taken  down;  not  one  of  the 
stakes  thereof  shall  ever  be  re- 
moved, neither  shall  any  of  the 
cords  thereof  be  broken. 

Isa.  xxxvii,  33-35.  Therefore 
thus  saith  the  Lord  concerning 
the  king  of  Assyria,  He  shall  not 
133 


come  into  th'.s  city,  nor  shoot  jin 
arrow  there,  nor  come  before  it 
with  shields,  nor  cast  a  bai.lc 
ag.iinst  it.  By  the  way  that  lie 
came,  by  the  same  shall  he  return, 
and  shall  not  come  into  this  city, 
saith  the  Lord.  For  I  will  defend 
this  city  to  save  it,  for  mine  own 
sake,  and  for  my  servant  David's 
sake, 

Isa.  xxxviii,  6.  And  I  will  de- 
liver thee  and  this  city  out  of  the 
hand  of  the  king  of  Assyria:  and 
I  will  defend  this  city, 

Zech.  xii,  2,  3,  9.  Behold,  I  will 
make  Jerusalem  a  cup  of  tremb- 
ling unto  all  the  people  round 
about,  Avhen  they  shall  be  in  the 
siege  both  against  Judah  and 
against  Jerusalem.  And  in  that 
(lay  will  I  make  Jerusalem  a 
burdeusume  stone  for  all  people; 
all  tliat  burden  themselves  with 
it  shall  be  cut  in  pieces,  though 
all  the  people  of  the  earth  be 
gathered  together  against  it.  And 
it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day, 
that  I  will  seek  to*  destroy  all  the 
nations  that  come  against  Jeru- 
salem. 


PATRIOTIC  LOVE  FOR  IT. 

Ps.  li,  18.  Do  good  in  thy  good 
pleasure  unto  Zion:  build  thou 
the  walls  of  Jerusalem. 

Fs.  cxxii,  6-8.  Pray  for  the  peace 
of  Jerusalem:  they  shall  prosper 
that  love  thee.  Peace  be  within 
thy  walls,  and  prosperity  within 
thy  palaces.  For  my  brethren 
and  companions'  sakes,  I  will  now 
say,  Peace  be  within  thee. 

Ps.  cxxviii,  5.  The  Lord  shall 
bless  thee  out  of  Zion:  and  thou 
Shalt  see  the  good  of  Jerusalem 
all  the  days  of  thy  life. 

Ps.  cxxxvii,  5-7.  If  I  forget  thee, 

0  Jerusalem,  let  my  right  hand 
forget  her  cunning.  If  I  do  not 
remember  thee,  let  my  tongue 
cleave  to  the  roof  of  my  mouth;  if 

1  prefer  not  Jerusalem  above  my 
chief  joy.  Remember,  O  Lord, 
the  children  of  Edom  in  the  day 
of  Jerusalem;  who  said.  Rase  it, 
rase  it,  even  to  the  foundation 
thereof, 

Isa.  Ixii,  1.  For  Zion's  sake  will 
I  not  hold  my  peace,  and  for  Jeru- 
salem's sake  I  will  not  rest,  until 
the  righteousness  thereof  go  forth 
as  brightness,  and  the  salvation 
thereof  as  a  lamp  that  burneth. 

Jer.  li,  50.  Ye  that  have  escaped 
the  sword,  go  away,  stand  not 
still:  remember  the  Lord  afar  off, 
and  let  Jerusalem  come  into  vour 
mind, 

Zech.  xii,  5.  And  the  governors 
of  Judah  shall  say  in  their  heart, 
The  inhabitants  of  Jerusalem  shall 
be  my  strength  in  the  Lord  of 
hosts  their  God.

THE  CAPITAL  OFTEN 
THREATENED. 

Isa.  xxix,  1-3.  Woe  to  Ariel,  to 
Ariel,  the  city  lohere  David  dwelt! 
add  ye  year  to  year,  let  them  Idll 
sacrifices.  JTet  I  will  distress 
Ariel,  and  there  shall  be  heavi- 
ness and  sorrow:  and  it  shall  be 
unto  me  as  Ariel.  And  I  will 
camp  against  thee  round  about, 
and  will  lay  seige  against  tliee 
with  a  mount,  and  I  will  raise 
forts  against  thee. 

Jer.  i,  14,  15.  Then  the  Lord 
said  unto  me,  Out  of  the  north  an 
evil  shall  break  forth  upon  all  the 
inhabitants  of  tlie  land.  For,  lo. 
I  will  call  all  the  families  of  the 
kingdoms  of  the  north,  saith  the 
Lord;  and  they  shall  come,  and 
they  sliall  set  every  one  his 
throne  at  the  entering  of  the  gates 
of  Jerusalem,  and  against  all  the 
walls  thereof  round  about,  and 
against  all  the  cities  of  Judah. 

Jer.  ix,  11.  And  I  will  make 
Jerusalem  heaps,  and  a  den  of 
dragons;  and  I  will  make  the 
cities  of  Judah  desolate,  without 
an  inhabitant. 

Jer.  xix,  8.  And  I  will  make  this 
city  desolate,  and  an  hissing: 
every  one  that  passeth  thereby 
shall  be  astonished  and  hiss  be- 
cause of  all  the  plagues  thereof. 

Jer.  XX,  5.  Moreover,  I  will  de- 
liver all  the  strength  of  this  city, 
and  all  the  labours  thereof,  and 
all  the  precious  things  thereof, 
and  all  the  treasures  of  the  kings 
of  Judah  will  I  give  into  the  hand 
of  their  enemies,  which  shall  spoil 
them,  and  take  them,  and  carry 
them  to  Babylon. 

Jer.  xxi,  10.  For  I  have  set  my 
face  against  this  city  for  evil,  and 
not  for  good,  saith  the  Lokd;  it 
shall  be  given  into  the  hand  of 
the  king  of  Babylon,  and  he  shall 
burn  it  witli  fire. 

Jer.  xxxii,  28, 31.  Therefore  thus 
saith  the  Lokd,  Behold,!  will  give 
this  city  into  the  hand  of  the 
Chaldeans,  and  into  the  hand  of 
Nebuchadrezzar  king  of  Babylon, 
and  he  shall  take  it.  For  this 
city  hath  been  to  me  as  a  provo- 
cation of  mine  anger  and  of  my 
fury,  from  the  day  that  they  built 
it  even  unto  tliis  day,  that  I  should 
remove  it  from  before  my  face.

Judah;  that  they  may  dwell  there, 
and  have  it  in  po8;e8sion.  The 
seed  also  of  his  servants  shall  in- 
herit it;  and  they  that  love  his 
name  shall  dwell  therein. 

Ps.  cii.  13-16.  Thou  shalt  arise, 
and  have  mercy  upon  Zion:  for 
the  time  to  favour  her,  yea,  the  set 
time,  is  come.  For  thy  servants 
take  pleasure  in  her  stones,  and 
favour  the  dust  thereof.  So  the 
heathen  shall  fear  the  name  of  the 
l.OBD,  and  all  the  kings  of  the 
earth  thy  glory.  When  the  Lord 
shall  build  up  Zion,  he  shall  ap- 
pear In  his  glory. 

Jer.  XXX,  18.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Behold,  I  will  bring  again 
ihe  captivity  of  Jacob's  tents,  and 
have  mercy  on  his  dvvellin<?-places;

her  own  liejp,  and  the  palace  shall 
remain  after  the  manner  tliereof.

of  the  corner.  Aud  the  measur- 
ing-line shall  j'et  go  forth  over 
against  it  upon  the  hill  Gareb.  and 
sliall  compass  about  to  Goath. 
And  the  whole  valley  of  the  dead 
bodies,  and  of  the  ashes,  and  all 
the  fields,  unto  the  brook  of  Ki- 
dron,  unto  the  corner  of  the  horse- 
gate  toward  the  east,  shall  be  holy 


unto  the  Lord;  it  shall  not  be  pluck- 
ed up,  nor  thrown  down,  any  more 
for  ever. 

Zech.  i,  14-17.  So  the  angel  that 
communed  with  me  said  unto  me, 
Cry  thou,  saying.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  I  am  jealous  for 
Jerusalem  and  for  Zicm  with  a 
great  jealousy.  And  I  am  very 
sore  displeased  with  the  heathen 
that  are  at  ease:  for  1  was  but  a 
little  displeased,  and  they  helped 
forward  the  affliction.  Therefore 
thus  saith  the  Lord,  I  am  returned 
to  Jerusalem  Avith  mercies:  my 
house  shall  be  built  in  it,  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  aud  a  line  shall  be 
stretched  forth  upon  Jerusalem. 
Cry  yet,  saying.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  My  cities  through 
prosperity  shall  yet  be  spnjad 
abroad;  and  the  Lord  shall  yet 
comfort  Zion,  and  shall  yet  choose 
Jerusalem. 

Zech.  ii,  12.  And  the  Lord  shall 
inherit  Judah  his  portion  in  the 
holy  land,  and  shall  choose  Jeru- 
salem again. 

Zech.  xiv,  17.  And  it  shall  be, 
that  wlioso  will  not  come  up  of  all 
the  families  of  the  earth  unto  Je- 
rusalem to  worship  the  King,  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  even  upon  them 
shall  be  no  rain.

ACCOMPLISHED. 

Neh.  ii,  18-20.  Then  I  told  them 
of  the  hand  of  my  God  which  was 
good  upon  me;  as  also  the  king's 
words  that  he  had  spoken  unto 
me.  And  they  said,  Let  us  rise  up 
and  build.  So  they  strengthened 
their  hands  for  this  good  work. 
But  wlien  Sanballat  the  lloronite, 
and  Tobi.ih  the  servant,  the  Am- 
monite, ami  Geshem  the  Arabian, 
heard  it,  they  laughed  us  tii  scorn, 
and  despised  us,  and  sai  1,  What  is 
this  thing  that  ye  do?  will  ye  rebel 
against  tlie  king?  Tlien  answered 
I  them,  and  said  unto  them,  The 
God  of  heaven,  he  w  id  prosper  us; 
therefore  we  his  servants  will  arise 
and  build:  but  ye  have  no  portion, 
norriglit,  nor  memorial,  in  Jeru- 
salem. 

Neh.  x\\,  1-4.  Now  It  came  to 
pass,  when  the  wall  was  built, 
and  I  had  set  up  the  doors,  and 
the  porters  and  the  singers 
aud  tlie  LeTltes  were  appointed, 
That  I  gave  my  biotlier  Haii- 
ani,  and  Ilananiah  the  ruler 
of  the  palace,  charge  over  .Jerii- 
salem:  for  he  was  a  faithful 
man,  and  feared  God  above 
many.  And  I  said  unto  them, 
Let  not  the  gates  of  Jerusalem 
be  opened  until  the  sun  be 
hit;  and  while  they  stand  by, 
let  ihpm  shut  the  doora,  and 
bar  them:  ancJ  appoint  watches 
of  the  inhabitants  of  Jerusalem, 
every  one  in  his  watch,  aud

Hvery  one  to  he  over  against  hla 
house.  Now  the  city  was  large 
and  great;  but  the  people  were 
few  th(  ein,  and  the  houses  wer^ 
not  bulided. 

Neh.  \\,  1,  2.  And  the  rulers  of 
the  people  dwelt  at  Jerusalem: 
the  rest  of  the  people  also  cast  lots, 
to  bring  one  of  ten  to  dwell  in  Je- 
rusalem the  holy  city,  and  nine 
parts  to  dicell  in  other  cities.  And 
the  people  blessed  all  the  men 
that  willingly  olfered  themselves 
to  dwell  at  Jerusalem. 

FINAL  DESTRUCTION  BY 
THE  ROMANS  FORETOLD. 

Luke  xix,  41-44.  And  Avhen  he 
was  come  near,  he  beheld  the  city, 
and  wept  over  it.  Saying,  If  thou 
hadst  known,  even  thou,  at  least 
ill  this  thy  day,  the  things  which 
belong  unto  thy  peace!  but  now 
they  are  hid  from  thine  eyes.  For 
the  days  shall  come  upon  thee, 
that  thine  enemies  shall  cast  a 
trench  about  thee,  and  compass 
thee  round,  and  keep  thee  in  on 
every  side.  And  shall  lay  thee 
even  with  the  ground,  and  thy 
chiklren  within  thee;  and  they 
shall  not  leave  in  thee  one  stone 
upon  another,  because  thou  knew- 
est  not  the  time  of  thy  visitation. 

Lul:e  xxi,  20.  And  when  je  shall 
see  Jerusalem  compassed  with 
armies,  then  know  that  the  deso- 
lation thereof  is  nigh. 

JERUSALEM  MYSTIC. 

Exek.  xlviii,  30-35.  And  these 
are  the  goings  out  of  the  city  on 
the  north  side,  four  thousand  and 
five  hundred  measures.  And  the 
gates  of  the  city  shall  be  after  the 
names  of  the  tribes  of  Israel:  three 
gates  northward;  one  gate  of  Reu- 
ben, one  gate  of  Judah,  one  gate 
of  Levi.  And  at  the  east  side  four 
thousand  and  five  hundred:  and 
fliree  gates;  and  one  gate  of  Jo-

round  about  eigliteen  thousand 
measures:  and  the  nnme  ot  riio 
city  from  that  day  shall  be,  The 
Lord  is  there. 

Rev.  xxi,  10, 11.  And  he  carried 
me  away  in  the  spirit  to  a  great 
and  high  mountain,  and  shewed 
me  that  great  city,  the  holy  Jeru- 
salem, descending  out  of  heaven 
from  God.  Having  the  glory  of 
God:  and  her  light  icas  Uke  unto 
a  stone  most  precious,  even  like  a 
jasper  stone,  clear  as  crystal. 


COVENANT. 


BETWEEN  GOD  AND  MAN, 

OR  MAN  AND  MAN,  RATIFIED 

BY  OATH  AND  SACRtFICE, 

AND  SOMETIMES   ^YRITTEN 

AND  SEALED. 

Gen.  XV,  9-11,  17,  18.  And  he 
said  nnto  him,  Take  me  an  heifer 
of  three  years  old,  and  a  she-goat 
oftliree  years  old.  and  a  ram  of 
tliree  years  old,  and  a  turtle-dove, 
and  a  young  pigeon.  And  he  toolc 
unto  him  all  these,  and  divided 
them  in  the  midst,  and  laid  each 
piece  one  against  another;  hut  the 
birds  divided  he  not.  And  when 
the  fowls  came  down  upon  the 
carcases,  Abrara  drove  them  away. 
And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  when 
the  sun  went  down,  and  it  was 
dark,  behold  a  smoking?  furnace, 
and  a  burning  lamp  that  passed 
between  those  pieces.  In  the 
same  day  the  Lord  made  a  cove- 
nant with  Abram,  saying,  Unto 
thy  seed  have  I  given  this  land, 
from  the  river  of  Egypt  unto  the 
great  river,  the  river  Euphrates. 

Gen.  xxi,  23-32.  Now  therefore 
swear  imto  me  here  by  God,  that 
thou  wilt  not  deal  falsely  with  me, 
nor  with  my  son,  nor  with  my 
son's  son:  but  according  to  the 
kindness  that  I  have  done  unto 
thee,  thou  shalt  do  unto  me,  and 
to  the  land  wherein  thou  hast 
sojourned.  And  Abraham  said,  I 
will  swear.  And  Abraham  re- 
proved Abimeloch  because  of  a 
well  of  water,  which  Abimelech's 
servants  had  violently  taken 
away.  And  Abimelech  said,  I  wot 
not  who  hath  done  this  thing; 
neither  didst  thou  tell  me,  neither 
yet  heard  I  of  it,  but  to-day.  And 
Abraham  took  sheep  and  oxen, 
and  gave  them  unto  Abimelech: 
and  both  of  them  made  a  cove- 
nant. And  Abraham  set  seven 
ewe  lambs  of  the  Hock  by  them- 
selves. And  Abimelech  said  unto 
Abraham,  What  mean  these  seven 
ewe  lambs  which  thou  hast  set  by 
themselves?  And  he  said,  For 
these  seven  ewe  lambs  shalt  thou 
take  of  my  hand,  that  they  may  be 
a  witness  unto  me,  that  I  have 
digged  this  well.  Wherefoi'e  he 
called  that  place  Beer-sheba;  be- 
cause there  they  sware  both  of 
them.  Thus  they  made  a  cove- 
nant at  Beor-sheba;  then  Abime- 
lech rose  up,  and  Phichol  the 
chief  captain  of  his  host,  and  they 
returned  into  the  land  of  the 
Philistines. 

Gen.  x.wl,  28-31.  And  they 
said.  We  saw  certainly  that  tbe 


Lord  was  with  thee:  and  we  said. 
Let  there  be  now  an  oath  betwixt 
us,  even  betwixt  us  and  thee,  and 
let  us  make  a  covenant  with  thee; 
That  thou  wilt  do  us  no  hurt,  as 
we  have  not  touched  thee,  and  as 
we  have  done  unto  thee  nothing 
but  good,  and  have  sent  thee 
away  in  peace:  thou  art  now  the 
blessed  of  the  Lord.  And  he  made 
them  a  feast,  and  they  did  eat  and 
drink.  And  they  rose  up  be- 
times In  the  morning,  and  sware 
one  to  another:  and  Isaac  sent 
them  away,  and  they  departed 
from  him  in  peace. 

Gen.  xxxi,  43-55.  And  Laban 
answered  and  said  unto  Jacob, 
These  daughters  are  my  daugh- 
ters, and  tliese  children  are  my 
children,  and  these  cattle  are  my 
cattle,  and  all  that  thou  seest  is 
mine:  and  what  can  I  do  this  day 
unto  these  my  daughters,  or  unto 
their  children  which  they  have 
born?  Now  therefore  come  thou, 
let  us  make  a  covenant,  I  and 
thou;  and  let  it  be  for  a  witness 
between  me  and  thee.  And 
Jacob  took  a  stone,  and  set  it  up 
for  a  pillar.  And  Jacob  said  un- 
to his  brethren.  Gather  stones; 
and  they  took  stones,  and  made 
an  heap:  and  they  did  eat  there 
upon  the  heap.  And  Laban  called 
it  Jegar  -  sahadutha:  but  Jacob 
called  it  Galeed.  And  Laban  said. 
This  heap  is  a  witness  between 
me  and  thee  this  day.  Therefore 
was  the  name  of  it  called  Galeed; 
And  Mizpah:  for  he  said.  The 
Lord  watch  between  me  and 
thee,  when  we  are  absent  one 
from  another.  If  thou  shalt 
afflict  my  daughters,  or  if  thou 
Shalt  take  other  wives  beside  my 
daughters,  no  man  is  with  us;  see, 
God  its  witness  betwixt  me  and 
thee.  And  Laban  said  to  Jacob, 
Behold  this  heap,  and  behold  this 
pillar,  which  I  have  cast  betwixt 
me  and  thee;  This  heap  t)e  wit- 
ness, and  this  pillar  6e  witness, 
that  I  will  not  pass  over  this  heap 
to  thee,  and  that  thou  shalt  not 
pass  over  this  heap  and  this 
pillar  unto  me,  for  harm.  The 
God  of  Abraham,  and  the  God  of 
Nahor,  the  God  of  their  father, 
judge  betwixt  us.  And  Jacob 
sware  by  the  Fear  of  his  fatJier 
Isaac.  Then  Jacob  offered  sacri- 
fice upon  the  mount,  and  called 
his  brel  hren  to  eat  bread:  and 
they  did  eat  bread,  and  tarried  all 
nigiit  in  the  mount.  And  early 
In  the  morning  Laban  rose  up, 
and    kissed    his   sons    and    his 


daughters,  and  blessed  them:  and 
Laban  departed,  and  returned  un- 
to his  place. 

Neh.  ix,  38.  And  because  of  all 
this  we  make  a  sure  covenant,  and 
write  it;  and  our  princes,  Levites, 
a7id  priests,  seal  unto  it.

Jer.  xxxiv,  18 The  cove- 
nant wliich  tliey  had  made  before

Ezek.  xvi,  59.  For  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God,  I  will  even  deal  with 
thee  as  thou  hast  done,  which 
hast  despised  the  oath  in  breaking 
the  covenant. 

Hosea  x,  4.  They  have  spoken 
words,  swearing  falsely  in  making

eth  up  as  hemlock  in  the  furrows 
of  the  field. 

Gal.  iii,  15.  Brethren,  I  speak 
after  the  manner  of  men;  Thougli

it  be  confliined,  no  man  disannuU- 
eth,  or  addeth  thereto.

from  thy  meat-offering:  with  all 
thine  offerings  thou  shalt  offer 
fcuU. 

Num.  xviii,  19.  All  the  heave- 
offerings  of  the  holy  things,  which 
the  children  of  Israel  offer  unto 
the  LoKi),  have  I  given  thee,  and 
thy  sons  and  thy  daughters  with 
thee,  by  a  statute  for  ever:  it  is  a 
covenant  of  salt  for  ever  before 
the  Lord  unto  thee,  and  to  thy 
seed  with  thee.

all  these  words.

the  blood  of  thy  covenant  I  have 
Bent  forth  thy  prisoners  out  of  the 
pit  wherein  is  no  water. 

Heb.  X.  29.  Of  how  much  sorer 
punishment,  suppose  ye,  shall  he 
be  thought  worthy,  who  hath 
trodden  under  foot  the  Son  of 
God,  and  hath  counted  the  blood 
of  the  covenant,  wherewith  he 
was  sanctified,  an  unholy  thing, 
and  hath  done  despite  unto  the 
Spirit  of  grace? 

Heb.  xiii,  20.  The  God  of  peace,

COVENANTS  OF  GOD 
WITH   MAN. 
WITH  NOAH. 
Gen.  vi,  is.  But  with  thee  will 
I  establish  my  covenant:  and  thou 
shalt  come  into  the  ark,  thou,  and 
thy  sons,  and  tliy  wile,  and  thy 
sons'  wives  with  thee. 
Gen.  ix,  9-11.  And  I,  behold,  I 
137 


establish  my  covenant  with  yon, 
and  with  your  seed  after  you;  And 
with  every  living  creature  that  is 
with  you,  of  the  fowl,  of  the  cattle, 
and  of  every  beast  of  the  earth 
with  yon;  from  all  that  go  out  of 
the  ark,  to  every  beast  of  the  earth. 
And  I  will  establish  my  covenant 
with  you:  neither  shall  all  flesh  be 
cut  off  any  more  by  the  waters  of 
a  flood:  neither  shall  there  any 
more  be  a  flood  to  destroy  the 
earth. 

WITH  AEEAHAM. 

Gen.  XV,  7,  8, 12-16.  18.  And  he 
said  unto  him,  I  am  the  Lord  that 
brought  thee  out  of  Ur  of  the 
Chaldees,  to  give  thee  this  land 
to  inherit  it.  And  he  said.  Lord 
God,  whereby  shall  I  know  that  I 
shall  inherit  it?  And  wlien  the  sun 
was  going  down,  a  deep  sleep  fell 
upon  Abram;  and  lo,  an  horror  of 
great  darkness  fell  upon  him.  And 
he  said  unto  Abram,  Know  of  a 
surety  that  thy  seed  shall  be  a 
stranger  in  a  land  that  is  not 
tlieirs.  and  shall  serve  them;  and 
they  shall  afflict  them  four  hun- 
dred years:  And  also  that  nation, 
whom  they  shall  serve,  will  I 
judge;  arid  afterward  shall  they 
come  out  with  great  substance. 
And  thou  shalt  go  to  thy  fathers 
in  peace;  thou  shalt  be  buried  in 
a  good  old  age.  But  in  the  fourth 
generation  they  shall  come  hither 
again:  for  the  iniquity  of  the 
Amorites  is  not  yet  lull.  In  that 
same  day  the  Lord  made  a  cove-

seed  have  I  given  this  land,  from 
the  river  of  Egypt  unto  the  great 
river,  the  river  Euphrates.

thee,  and  to  thy  seed  after  thee.

and  Jacob,  and  would  not  destroy 
them,  neither  cast  he  them  from 
his  presence  as  yet.

nant which  God  made  with  ( ui- 
fathers,  sayingunto  Abraham,  And 
in  thy  seed  shall  all  the  kindreds 
of  the  earth  be  blessed. 

Gal.  iii,  16, 17.  Now  to  Abraham 
and  his  seed  were  the  promises 
made.  He  saith  not,  And  to  seeds, 
as  of  many;  but  as  ol  one.  And  to 


thy  seed,  which  is  Christ,  And 
this  I  say.  that  the  covenant,  that 
was  confirmed  before  of  God  in 
Clirlst,  the  law,  which  was  four 
hundred  and  tliirty  years  after, 
cannot  disannul,  that  it  should

thee  will  I  give  it,  and  to  thy  seed;

followed  vanity,  and  became  vain,

were  round  about  them,  concern- 
ing whom  the  Lord  had  charged 
them,  that  they  should  not  do 
like  them.  With  whom  the  Lord 
had  made  a  covenant,  and  charged 
them,  saying.  Ye  shall  not  fear 
other  gods,  nor  bow  yourselves  to 
them,  nor  serve  them,  nor  sacrifice

Lord  God  of  Israel,  Cursed  be  the 
man  that  obeyeth  not  the  words 
of  this  covenant,  Which  I  com- 
manded your  fathers  in  the  day 
that  I  brought  them  forth  out  of 
tlie  land  of  l\gypt,  from  the  iron 
furnace,  saying,  Obey  my  voice, 
and  do  them,  according  to  all 
which  I  command  you:  so  shall 
ye  be  my  people,  and  I  will  be 
your  God;  That  I  may  perform 
the  oath  which  I  have  sworn  unto 
your  fathers,  to  give  them  a  laud

the  house  of  bondmen,  saying. 

Ezek.  xxxvii,  26.  Moreover,  I 
will  make  a  covenant  of  peace 
with  them;  it  shall  be  an  ever-

ment unto  you,  that  my  covenant

Lord  of  hosts.  But  ye  are  de- 
parted out  of  the  way;  ye  have 
caused  many  to  stumble  at  the 
law;  ye  have  corrupted  the  cove- 
nant of  Levi,  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts. 

WITH  DAVID. 

2  &im.  xxiii,  6.  Although  my 
house  be  not  so  with  God;  yet  he 
hath  made  with  me  an  everlasting

a  man  to  be  ruler  in  Israel. 

Fs.  Ixxxix,  34-37.  My  covenant 
will  I  not  break,  nor  alter  the 
tiling  that  is  gone  out  of  my 
lips.  Once  have  I  sworn  by  my 
holiness,  that  I  will  not  lie  unto 
David.  His  seed  shall  endure  for 
ever,  and  his  throne  as  the  sun 
before  me.  It  shall  be  established 
for  ever  as  the  moon,  and  as  a 
faithful  witness  in  heaven.    Selah.

thy  fathers,  which  he  sware  unto 
them.

vants that  walk  before  thee  with 
all  their  heart,

Lord  God  of  Israel,  there  is  no

servants  that  walk  before  thee 
with  all  their  hearts. 

l^ch.  i,  5.  And  said,  I  beseech 
thee,  O  Lord  God  of  heaven,  the 
great  and  terrible  God,  that  keep- 
eth covenant  and  mercy  for  them 
that  love  him,  and  observe  his 
commandments, 

Neh.  ix,  32.  Now  therefore,  our 
God,  the  great,  the  mighty,  and 
the  terrible  God,  who  keepest 
covenant  and  mercy,  let  not  all

thee  that  hath  come  upon  us,  on 
our  kings,  on  our  princes,  and  on 
our  priests,  and  on  our  prophets,

people,  since  the  time  of  the  Icings

firmed the  same  unto  Jacob  for  a 
law,  and  to  Israel  for  an  everlast- 
ing covenant. 

Isa.  Ivi,  10.  For  the  mountains 
shall  depart,  and  the  hills  be  re-

depart  from  thee,  neither  shall 
the  covenant  of  my  peace  be  re- 
moved, saith  tlie  Lobd,  that  hath 
mercy  on  thee. 

Jer.  xxxiii,  20, 21,  25.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  If  ye  can  break  my 
covenant  of  the  day,  and  my  cove- 
nant of  the  night,  and  that  there 
should  not  be  day  and  night  in 
their  season;  Then  may  also  my 
covenant  be  broken  with  David 
my  servant,  that  he  should  not 
have  a  son  to  reign  upon  his 
throne;  and  with  the  Levites  the 
priests,  my  ministers.  Thus  saith 
tho  Lord,  If  my  covenant  be  not 
■with  day  and  night,  and  if  I  have 
not  appointed  the  ordinances  of 
heaven  and  earth.

I  will  remember  my  covenant 
with  thee  in  the  days  of  thy  youth, 
and  I  will  establish  unto  thee  an 
everlasting  covenant.  Then  thou 
Shalt  remember  thy  ways,  and  be 
ashamed,  when  thou  shalt  receive 
thy  sisters,  thine  elder  and  thy 
younger:  and  I  will  give  them 
unto  thee  for  daughters,  but  not 
by  thy  covenant.  And  I  will 
establish  my  covenant  with  thee; 
and  thou  shalt  know  that  I  ani 
the  Lord. 

Ezek.  XX,  37.  And  I  will  cause 
you  to  pass  under  the  rod,  and  I

covenant.

THE  OBLIGATION  OP 
KEEPING  GOD'S  COVENANT, 
AND  DANGER  OF  VIOLAT- 
ING IT. 

Gen.  xvii,  9,  10,  14,  And  God 
said  unto  Abraham,  Thou  shalt 
Iteep  my  covenant  therefore,  thou, 
and  thy  seed  after  thee  in  their 
generations.  This  is  my  covenant, 
wliich  ye  shall  keep,  between  me 
and  you,  and  thy  seed  after  thee; 
Every  man-child  among  you  shall 
be  circumcised.  And  the  uncir- 
cumcised  man-child,  whose  flesh 
of  his  foreskin  is  not  circumcised, 
that  soul  shall  be  cut  off  from  his 
people;  he  hath  broken  my  cove- 
nant. 

Exod.  xix,  5.  Now  therefore,  if 
ye  will  obey  ray  voice  indeed,  and 
keep  ray  covenant,  then  ye  shall 
be  a  peculiar  treasure  unto  rae 
above  all  people:  for  all  the  earth 
is  mine. 

Lev.  xxvi,  15.  And  if  ye  shall 
despise  my  statutes,  or  if  your 
soul  abhor  ray  judgments,  so  that 
ye  will  not  do  all  my  command- 
ments, but  that  ye  break  my 
covenant. 

Deut.  iv,  23.  Take  heed  unto 
yourselves,  lest  ye  forget  the  cove- 
nant of  the  Lord  your  God,  which 
he  made  with  you,  and  make  you 
a  graven  image,  or  the  likeness  of 
any  thing  which  the  Lord  thy 
God  hath  forbidden  thee. 

Dcut.  xvii,  2, 5.  If  there  be  found 
among  you,  within  any  of  thy 
gates  which  the  Lord  thy  God 
giveth  thee,  man  or  woman,  that 
hath  wrought  wickedness  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lobo  thy  God, 
139 


In  transgressing  his  covenant. 
Then  shalt  thou  bring  forth  that 
man  or  that  woman,  which  have 
committed  that  wicked  thing, 
unto  thy  gates,  even  that  man  or 
that  woman,  and  shalt  stone  them 
Avith  stones,  till  they  die. 

Deiit.  xxix,  9,  25.  Keep  there- 
fore the  words  of  this  covenant, 
and  do  them,  that  ye  may  prosper 
in  all  that  ye  do.  Then  men  shall 
say.  Because  they  have  forsaken 
the  covenant  of  the  Lord  God  of 
their  fathers,  which  he  made  Avith 
them  Avhen  he  brought  them  forth 
out  of  the  land  of  Egypt. 

Josh,  vii,  11,  15.  Israel  hath 
sinned,  and  they  have  also  trans- 
gressed my  covenant  Avhich  I 
commanded  them:  for  they  have 
even  taken  of  the  accursed  thing, 
and  have  also  stolen,  and  dissem- 
bled also,  and  they  have  put  it 
even  among  their  own  stuff.  And 
it  shall  be,  tJiat  he  that  is  taken 
Avith  the  accursed  thing  shall  be 
burnt  with  fire,  he  and  all  that  he 
hath;  because  he  hath  transgress- 
ed the  covenant  of  the  Lord,  and 
because  he  hath  wrought  folly  in 
Israel. 

Josh,  xxiii,  16.  When  ye  have 
transgressed  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord  your  God,  Avhich  he  com- 
manded you,  and  have  gone  and 
served  other  gods,  and  boAVed 
yourselves  to  them;  then  shall  the 
anger  of  the  Lord  be  kindled 
against  you,  and  ye  shall  perish 
quickly  from  off  the  good  land 
which  he  hath  given  unto  you. 

Judges  ii,  20.  And  the  anger  of 
the  Lord  Avas  hot  against  Israel; 
and  he  said.  Because  that  this 
people  hath  transgressed  my 
covenant  which  I  commanded 
their  fathers,  and  have  not  heark- 
ened unto  ray  voice. 

1  Kings  xix,  10.  And  he  said,  I 
have  been  very  jealous  for  the 
Lord  God  of  hosts:  for  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  have  forsaken  thy 
covenant,  thrown  doA^m  thine 
altars,  and  slain  thy  prophets  Avith 
the  sword;  and  I,  even  I  only,  am 
left;  and  they  seek  my  life,  to  take 
it  away. 

2  Kings  xvill,  12.  Because  they 
obeyed  not  the  voice  of  the 
Lord  their  Goi-1,  but  transgressed

the  servant  of  the  Lord  com- 
manded, and  would  not  hear 
them,  nor  do  them.

not  tlie  covenant  of  God,  and  re- 
fused to  walk  in  his  law;  And  for- 
gat  Ills  works,  and  his  wonders 
that  he  had  shewed  them.  For 
their  heart  was  not  right  with 
him,  neither  were  they  stedfast 
in  Iiis  covenant. 

Ps.  ciii,  18.  To  such  as  keep  his 
covenant,  and  to  those  that  re-

the  guide  of  her  youth,  and  for- 
getteth  the  covenant  of  her  God.

waste,  the  wayfaring  man  ceaseth;

hath  despised  the  cities,  he  re- 
gardeth  no  man. 

Isa.  Ivi,  4-7.  For  thus  saith  the 
Lord  unto  the  eunuchs  that  keep 
my  sabbaths,  and  choose  the 
things  tliat  please  me,  and  take 
hold  of  my  covenant;  Even  unto 
them  will  I  give  in  mine  house, 
and  within  my  walls,  a  place  and 
a  name  better  than  of  sons  and  of 
daughters:  I  will  give  them  an 
everlasting  name,  that  shall  not  be 
cut  off.  Also  the  sons  of  the 
stranger,  that  join  themselves  to 
the  Lord,  to  serve  him,  and  to 
love  the  name  of  the  Lord,  to  be 
his  servants,  every  one  that  keep- 
eth  the  sabbath  from  polluting  it, 
and  taketh  hold  of  my  covenant; 
Even  them  will  I  bring  to  my  holy 
mountain,  and  make  them  joyful 
in  my  house  of  prayer:  their 
burnt-offerings  and  their  sacri- 
fices shall  be  accepted  upon  mine 
altan  for  mine  house  shall  be 
called  an  house  of  prayer  for  all 
people. 

Jer.  x\,  3.  And  say  thou  unto

covenant.

me,  when  they  cut  the  calf  in 
twain,  and  passed  between  the 
parts  thereof. 

Ezek.  xvii,  15, 16, 19.  But  he  re- 
belled against  him  in  sending  his 
ambassadors  into  Egypt,  that  they 
might  give  him  horses  and  much 
people:  shall  he  prosper?  shall  he 
escape  that  doeth  such  thingsf  or 
shall  he  break  the  covenant,  and 
be  delivered?  As  I  live,  saith  the 
Lord  God,  surely  in  the  place 
xohere  the  king  dwelleth  that  made 
him  king,  whose  oath  he  despised, 
and  whose  covenant  he  brake, 
even  with  him  in  the  midst  of 
Babylon  he  shall  die.  Therefore 
thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  Asl  live, 
surely  mine  oath  that  he  hath 
despised,  and  my  covenant  that 
he  hath  broken,  even  it  will  I  re- 
compense upon  his  own  head. 

Dan.  xi,  28,  30.  32.  Then  shall 
he  return  into  his  land  with  great 
riches:  and  his  heart  shall  be 
against  the  holy  covenant;  and  he 
shall  do  exploits,  and  return  to 
his  own  land.  For  the  ships  of 
Chittim  shall  come  against  him; 
therefore  he  shall  be  grieved,  and 
return,  and  have  indignation 
against  the  holy  covenant:  so 
shall  he  do;  he  shall  even  return, 
and  have  intelligence  with  them 
that  forsake  the  holy  covenant. 
And  such  as  do  wickedly  against 
the  covenant  shall  he  corrupt  by 
flatteries:  but  the  people  that  do 
know  their  God  shall  be  strong, 
and  do  exploits.

MAN   MAKING  COVENANT 

WITH  GOD. 
Deut.  xxix,  10-15.  Ye  stand  this 
day  all  of  you  before  the  Lord 
your  God;  your  captains  of  your 
tribes,  your  elders,  and  your 
olllcers,  with  all  the  men  of  Israel, 
Your  little  ones,  your  wives,  and 
thy  stranger  that  is  in  thy  camp, 
from  the  hewer  of  thy  wood  unto 
the  drawer  of  thy  water;  That 
thou  shouldest  enter  into  cove- 
nant with  the  Lord  thy  God,  and 
into  his  oath,  wliich  the  Lord  thy 
God  maketh  with  thee  this  day: 
That  he  may  establisli  thee  to-day 
for  a  people  unto  himseU,  and  that 
he  may  be  unto  thee  a  God,  as  he 
hath  said  unto  thee,  and  as  he 
hath  sworn  unto  thy  fathers,  to 
Abraham,  to  Isaac,  and  to  Jacob. 
Neither  with  you  only  do  I  make 
this  covenant  and  this  oath;  But 
with  him  that  slandeth  here  with 
us  this  day  before  the  Lord  our 
God,  and  also  with  him  that  ia  uot 
here  with  us  this  day.

Josh,  xxiv,  25.  So  Joshua  made 
a  covenant  with  the  people  that 
day,  and  set  them  a  statute  and  an 
ordinance  in  Shechem. 

2  Kings  xi,  17.  And  Jehoiada 
made  a  covenant  between  the 
Lord  and  the  king  and  the  people, 
that  they  should  be  the  Loki/s 
people;  between  the  king  also  and 
the  people. 

2  Kings  xxiii,  3.  And  the  king 
stood  by  a  pillar,  and  made  a 
covenant  before  the  Lord,  to  wtilk 
after  the  Lord,  and  to  keep  his 
commandments  and  his  testimon- 
ies and  his  statutes  with  all  their 
heart  and  all  their  soul,  to  perform 
the  Avords  of  this  covenant  that 
were  written  in  this  book.  And 
all  the  people  stood  to  the  cove- 
nant. 

2  Qhron.  XV,  12.  And  they  en- 
tei'ed  into  a  covenant  to  seek  the 
Lord  God  of  their  fathers  with  all 
their  heart  and  with  all  their 
soul. 

2  Qhron.  xxiii,  16,  And  Jehoiada 
made  a  covenant  between  him, 
and  between  all  the  people,  and 
between  the  king,  that  they 
should  be  the  Lord's  people. 

2  Chron.  xxix,  10.  Now  it  is 
in  mine  heart  to  make  a  covenant 
with  the  Lord  God  of  Israel,  that 
his  fierce  Avrath  may  turn  away 
from  us. 

2  Qh7-on.  xxxiv,  31,  32.  And  the 
king  stood  in  his  place,  and  made 
a  covenant  before  the  Lord,  to 
walk  after  the  Lord,  and  to  keep 
his  commandments,  and  his  testi- 
monies, and  his  statutes,  with  all 
his  heart,  and  with  all  his  soul,  to 
perform  the  words  of  the  covenant 
which  are  written  in  this  book. 
And  he  caused  all  that  were  pre- 
sent in  Jerusalem  and  Benjamin 
to  stand  to  it.  And  the  inhabi- 
tants of  Jerusalem  did  according 
to  the  covenant  of  God,  the  God 
of  their  fathers. 

Neh.  ix,  38.  And  because  of  all 
this  we  make  a  sure  covenant,  and 
write  it;  and  our  princes,  Levites, 
and  priests,  seal  unto  it. 

THE  NEW  COVENANT. 
Isa.  lix,  21.  As  for  me,  this  is 
my  covenant  with  them,  saith  the 
Lord;  My  Spirit  that  is  upon 
thee,  and  my  words  which  I  have 
put  in  thy  mouth,  shall  not  depart 
out  of  thy  mouth,  nor  out  of  the 
mouth  of  thy  seed,  nor  out  of  the 
mouth  of  thy  seed's  seed,  sailh 
the  Lord,  from  lieuceforth  and  for 
ever. 

Jer.  xxxi,  31-33.  Behold,  the 
days  come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  I 
will  make  a  new  covenant  witli 
the  house  of  Israel,  and  Avilh  the 
house  of  Judah;  ^ot  according 
to  the  covenant  that  I  made  with 
their  fathers  in  the  day  that  1  took 


them  by  the  hand  to  bring  them 

out  of  the  land  of  Egypt;  .... 
But  this  sJiall  be  the  covenant  that 
I  will  malvc  with  the  house  of 
Israel;  After  those  days,  saith  the 
Lord,  I  will  put  my  law  in  their 
Inward  parts,  and  write  it  in  their 
hearts;  and  will  be  their  God, 
and  they  shall  be  my  people. 

Jer.  xxxii,  40.  And  I  will  make 
au  everlasting  covenant  with 
them,  that  I  will  not  turn  away 
from  them,  to  do  them  good;  but  I 
will  put  my  fear  in  their  hearts, 
tliat  they  shall  not  depart  from 
me. 

Ezek.  xvi,  &  Now,  when  I  pass- 
ed by  thee,  and  looked  upon  thee, 
behold,  thy  time  was  the  time  of 
love;  and  I  spread  my  skirt  over 
thee,  and  covered  thy  nakedness: 
yea,  I  sware  unto  thee,  and  enter- 
ed into  a  covenant  with  thee, 
saith  the  Lord  God,  and  thou  be- 
camest  mine. 

Gal.  iii,  17, 18.  And  this  I  say, 
that  the  covenant,  that  was  con- 
firmed before  of  God  in  Christ,  the 
law  which  was  four  hundred  and 
tliirty  years  after,  cannot  disannul, 
that  it  should  make  the  promise  of 
none  effect.  For  if  the  inheri- 
tance be  of  the  law,  it  is  no  more 
of  promise:  but  God  gave  it  to 
Abraham  by  promise. 

Gal.  Iv,  24,  25.  Which  things 
are  an  allegory:  for  these  are  the 
two  covenants;  the  one  from  the 
mount  Sinai,  which  gendereth  to 
bondage,  which  is  Agar.  For  this 
Agar  is  mount  Sinai  In  Arabia, 
and  answereth  to  Jerusalem  which 
now  is,  and  is  hi  bondage  with  her 
children, 

Bcb.  viii,  6-10, 13.  But  now  hath 
he  obtained  a    more    excellent 


COVENANT. 

ministrv.  by  how  much  also  he  Is 
the  mediator  of  a  better  covenant, 
which  was  established  upon  better 
promises.  For  if  that  first  cove- 
nant  had  been  faultless,  then 
should  no  place  have  been  sought 
for  the  second.  For,  finding  fault 
with  them,  he  saith.  Behold,  the 
days  come,  saith  the  Lord,  when 
I  will  make  a  new  covenant  with 
the  house  of  Israel,  and  with  the 
house  of  Judah:  Not  according 
to  the  covenant  that  I  made  with 
their  fathers  in  the  day  when  I 
took  them  by  the  hand  to  lead 
them  out  of  the  land  of  Egypt; 
because  they  continued  not  in  my 
covenant,  and  I  regarded  them 
not,  saith  the  Lord.  For  this  is 
the  covenant  that  I  will  make 
with  the  house  of  Israel  after 
those  days,  saith  the  Lord;  I  will 
put  my  laws  into  their  mind,  and 
write  them  in  their  hearts;  and  I 
will  be  to  them  a  God,  and  they 
shall  be  to  me  a  people:  In  that 
he  saith,  A  new  covenant,  he  hath 
made  the  first  old.  Now  that 
which  decayeth  and  waxeth  old  is 
ready  to  vanish  away. 

Heb.  X,  15, 16.  Whereof  the  Holy 
Ghost  also  is  a  witness  to  us:  for 
after  that  he  had  said  before,  This 
is  the  covenant  that  I  will  make 
with  them  after  those  days,  saith 
the  Lord;  I  will  put  my  laws  into 
their  hearts,  and  in  their  minds 
will  I  write  them. 

WONDERFUL  COVENANTS. 

Job  V,  23.  For  thou  shalt  be  in 

league    with   the    stones   of  the 

field;  and  the  beasts  of  the  field 

shall  be  at  peace  with  thee. 

Hosea  ii,  18.    And  in   that  day 
will  I  make  a  covenant  for  them 
141 


with  the  beasts  of  the  field,  and 
with  the  fowls  of  heaven,  and  with 
the  creeping  things  of  the 
ground 

RUINOUS  COVENANTS. 
Isa.  xxviii,  15,18, 19.  Because  ye 
have  said,  We  have  made  a  covo' 
nant  with  death,  and  with  hell  are 
we  at  agreement;  when  the  over- 
flowing scourge  shall  pass  through, 
it  shall  not  come  unto  us:  for  we 
have  made  lies  our  refuge,  and 
under  falsehood  have  we  hid  our- 
selves. And  your  covenant  with 
death  shall  be  disannulled,  and 
your  agreement  with  hell  shall  not 
stand;  when  the  overflowing 
scourge  shall  pass  through,  theii 
ye  shall  be  trodden  down  by  it. 
From  the  time  that  it  goeth  forth  it 
shall  take  you:  for  morning  by 
morning  shall  it  pass  over,  by  day 
and  by  night;  and  it  shall  be  a 
vexation  only  to  understand  the 
report. 

JEWS  FORBIDDEN  TO  MAKE 
COVENANTS  WITH  HEATH- 
EN NATIONS. 
Exod.  xxiii,  32.  Thou  slialt  make 
no  covenant  with  them,  nor  with 
their  gods. 

Deut.  vii,  2.  And  when  the  Lobd 
thy  God  shall  deliver  them  before 
thee,  thou  slialt  smite  them,  and 
utterly  destroy  them;  thou  shalt 
make  no  covenant  with  them,  nor 
shew  mercy  unto  them. 

Hosea  xii,  1.  Ephraim  feedeth 
on  wind,  and  foUowelh  after  the 
east  wind:  he  daily  increaseth  lies 
and  desolation;  and  they  do  make 
a  covenant  with  the  Assyrians, 
and  oil  is  carried  into  Egypt.

Gen.  XXV,  30.  And  Esau  said  to  1 
Jacob,  Fee  1  me,  I  pray  thee,  with  j 
that  same  red  pottage;  for  I  am 
faint:    therefore  was    his    name 
called  Edom. 

1  Sam.  xiv,  30.  How  much  more, 
if  liaply  the  people  had  eaten 
freely  to-day  of  the  spoil  of  their 
enemies  Avhich  they  found?  for 
had  there  not  been  now  a  much 
greater  slaughter  among  the  Phi- 
listines? 

1  Sam.  XXX,  11,  12.  And  they 
found  an  Egyptian  in  the  field, 
and  brought  him  to  David,  and 
gave  him  bread,  and  he  did  eat; 
and  they  made  him  drink  water; 
And  they  gave  him  a  piece  of  a 
cake  of  figs,  and  two  clusters  of 
raisins:  and  when  he  had  eaten, 
his  spirit  came  again  to  him;  for 
he  had  eaten  no  bread,  nor  drunk 
any  water,  three  days  and  three 
nights. 

Matt,  iv,  3,  4.  And  when  the 
tempter  came  to  him,  he  said.  If 
tliou  be  the  Son  of  God,  com- 
mand that  these  stones  be  made 
bread.  But  he  answered  and 
said,  It  is  written,  Man  shall  not 
live  by  bread  alone,  but  by  every 
word  that  proceedeth  out  of  the 
mouth  of  God. 

MorkYxW,  1^.  In  those  days, 
the  multitude  being  very  great, 
and  having  nothing  to  eat,  Jesus 
called  his  disciples  unto  him,  and 
saith  unto  them,  I  have  compas- 
sion on  the  multitude,  because 
they  have  now  been  with  me  three 
days,  and  have  nothing  to  eat; 
And  if  I  send  them  away  fasting 
to  their  own  houses,  they  will 
faint  by  the  way:  for  divers  of 
them  came  from  far.  And  his  dis- 
ciples answered  him,Fromwhence 
can  a  man  satisfy  these  men  with 
bread  here  in  the  wilderness? 

Luke  iv,  2-4.  Being  forty  days 
tempted  of  the  devil.  And  in  those 
days  he  did  eat  nothing:  and  when 
they  were  ended,  he  afterward 
hungered.  And  the  devil  said 
unto  him,  If  thou  be  the  Son  of 
God,  command  this  stone  that  it 
be  made  bread.  And  Jesus 
answered  him,  saying,  It  is  writ- 
ten, That  man  shall  not  live  by 
bread  alone,  but  by  every  word 
of  God. 

Acts,  ix,  19.  And  when  he  had 
received  meat,  he  was  strength- 
ened.   Then   was   Saul   cerUin 


days  with  the  disciples  which  were 
at  Damascus. 

Acta,  xxvii,  33,  34.  And  while 
the  (lay  was  coming  on,  Paul  be- 
sought tMm  all  to  take  meat,  say- 
ing. This  day  is  the  fourteenth 
day  that  ye  have  tarried,  and  con- 
tinued fasting,  having  taken 
nothing.  Wherefore  I  pray  you 
to  take  some  meat;  for  this  is  for 
your  health:  for  there  shall  not  an 
hair  fall  from  the  head  of  any  of 
you.

VOLUNTARY  ABSTINENCE 
FROM  FOOD. 
Oen.  xxiv,  33.  And  there  was 
set  meat  before  him  to  eat:  but  he 
said,  I  will  not  eat,  until  I  have 
told  mine  errand.  And  he  said, 
Speak  on. 

1  Sam.  1,  7.  And  as  he  did  so 
year  by  year,  when  she  went  up 
to  the  house  of  the  Lord,  so  she 
provoked  her:  therefore  she  wept, 
and  did  not  eat. 

1  Sam.  ix,  13.  As  soon  as  ye  be 
come  into  the  city,  ye  shall 
straightway  find  him,  before  he  go 
up  to  the  high  place  to  eat:  for  the 
people  will  not  eat  until  he  come, 
because  he  doth  bless  the  sacrifice; 
and  afterwards  they  eat  that  be 
bidden.  Now  therefore  get  you 
up;  for  about  this  time  ye  shall 
find  him. 

1  Sam.  xxviii,  20-23.  Then  Saul 
fell  straightway  all  along  on  the 
earth,  and  was  sore  afraid,  because 
of  the  words  of  Samuel:  and  there 
was  no  strength  in  him;  for  he  had 
eaten  no  bread  all  the  day,  nor  all 
the  night.  And  the  woman  came 
unto  Saul,  and  saw  that  he  was 
sore  troubled,  and  said  unto  him, 
Behold,  thine  handmaid  hath 
obeyed  thy  voice,  and  I  have  put 
my  life  in  my  hand,  and  have 
hearkened  unto  thy  words  which 
thou  spakest  unto  me:  Now  there- 
fore, I  pray  thee,  hearken  thou 
also  unto  the  voice  of  thine  hand- 
maid, and  let  me  set  a  morsel  of 
bread  before  thee;  and  eat,  that 
thou  mayest  have  strength  when 
thou  goest  on  thy  way.  But  he 
refused,  and  said,  I  will  not  eat. 
But  his  servants,  together  with  the 
woman,  compelled  him;  and  he 
hearkened  unto  their  voice:  so  he 
arose  from  the  earth,  and  eat  upon 
the  bed.

2  Sam.  xii,  17, 20.  And  the  elders 
of  his  house  arose,  and  went  to 
him.  to  raise  him  up  from  the 
earth:  but  he  would  not.  neither 
did  he  eat  bread  with  them.  Then 
David  arose  from  the  earth,  and 
washed,  and  anointed  himself,  and 
changed  his  apparel,  and  came 
into  the  house  of  the  Loud,  and 
worshipped:  then  he  came  to  his 
own  house;  and,  when  he  required, 
they  set  bread  before  him,  and  he 
did  eat. 

1  Kings  xiii,  7-9, 15-17.  And  the 
king  said  unto  the  man  of  God, 
Come  home  with  me,  and  refresh 
thyself,  and  I  will  give  thee  a  re- 
ward. And  the  man  of  God  said 
unto  the  king.  If  thou  wilt  give 
me  half  thine  house,  I  will  not  go 
in  with  thee,  neither  will  I  eat 
bread  nor  drink  water  in  this 
place:  For  so  was  it  charged  me 
by  the  word  of  the  Lord,  saying. 
Eat  no  bread,  nor  drink  water,  nor 
turn  again  by  the  same  way  that 
thou  earnest.  Then  he  said  unto 
him.  Come  home  with  me,  and  eat 
bread.  And  he  said,  I  may  not 
return  with  thee,  nor  go  in  with 
thee;  neither  will  I  eat  bread  nor 
drink  water  with  thee  in  this  place. 
For  it  was  said  to  me  by  the  word 
of  the  Lord,  Thou  shalt  eat  no 
bread  nor  drink  water  there,  nor 
turn  again  to  go  by  the  way  that 
thou  earnest. 

1  Kings  xxi,  4.  .  .  .  [And  Ahab] 
laid  him  down  upon  his  bed,  and 
turned  away  his  face,  and  would 
eat  no  bread. 

FASTING  IN  CONNECTION 
WITH  RELIGION. 
THE  RIGHT  SPIRIT  TO 
FAST  IN. 
Isa.  Iviil,  3-8.  Wherefore  have 
we  fasted,  say  they,  and  thou  seest 
not?  wherefore  have  we  afllicted 
our  soul,  and  thou  takest  no  know- 
ledge? Behold,  in  the  day  of  your 
fast  ye  find  pleasure,  and  exact  all 
your  labours.  Behold,  ye  fast  for 
strife  and  debate,  and  to  smite 
with  the  fist  of  wickedness:  ye 
shall  not  fast  as  ye  do  this  day,  to 
make  your  voice  to  be  heard  on 
high.  Is  it  such  a  fast  that  I  have 
chosen?  a  day  for  a  man  to  afllict 
his  soul?  is  it  to  bow  down  his 
head  as  a  bulrush,  and  to  spread 
sackcloth  and  ashes  under  him' 
wilt  thou  call  this  a  fast,  and  an 
acceptable  day  to  the  Lord?    Is 


DIET  AND  DRESS, 


not  this  the  fast  that  T  have  chosen? 
ti>  loose  the  bauds  of  wickoilness, , 
to  undo  tlie  heavy  burdens,  and  to  | 
let  the  o  pressed  go  free,  and  that 
ye  break  every  yoke?  Is  it  not  to 
deal  thy  bread  to  the  hungry,  and 
that  thou  bring  the  poor  that  aro 
cast  out  to  thy  liuuse?  when  thou 
seest  the  naked,  that  thou  cover 
him;  aiul  that  thou  hide  not  thy- 
self from  thine  own  flesh?  Then 
shall  tliy  lijrht  break  forth  as  the 
morning,  and  thine  health  shall 
spring  forth  speedily;  and  thy 
riglieousness  shall  go  before  thee: 
the  glory  of  the  Loan  shall  be  thy 
rere-ward. 

Jer.  xiv,  12.  When  they  fast,  I 
will  not  hear  their  cry;  and  when 
they  offer  burnt-offering  and  an  | 
oblation,  I  will  not  accept  them: 
but  I  will  consume  them  by  the 
sword,  and  by  the  famine,  and  by 
the  pestilence. 

Zech.  vii,  5.  Speak  unto  all  the 
people  of  the  land,  and  to  the 
priests,  Haying,  When  ye  fasted 
and  mourned  in  the  fifth  and 
seventh  month,  even  those  seventy 
years,  did  ye  at  all  fast  uuto  me,  j 
even  to  me? 

Zech.  vlii,  19.  Thus  saith  the 
Lono  of  hosts.  The  fast  of  the 
fourth  month,  and  the  fast  of  the 
fifth,  and  the  fast  of  the  seventh, 
and  the  fast  of  the  tenth,  shall  be 
to  the  house  of  Judah  joy  and 
gladness,  and  cheerful  feasts; 
therefore  love  the  truth  and  peace. 

3Iatt.  vi,  16-18.  Moreover,  when 
ye  fast,  be  not  as  the  hypocrites, 
of  a  sad  countenance:  for  tliey  dis- 
.  figure  their  faces,  that  they  may 
appear  unto  men  to  fast.  Verily 
I  say  unto  you,  They  have  their 
reward.  But  thou,  when  thou 
fastest,  anoint  thine  head,  and 
wash  thy  face.  That  thou  appear 
not  unto  men  to  fast,  but  unto  thy 
Father  which  is  in  secret:  and  thy 
Father,  which  seeth  in  secret, 
shall  reward  thee  openly. 

Mark  ii,  18-20.  And  the  disciples 
of  John  and  of  the  Pharisees  used 
to  fast:  and  they  come  and  say 
unto  him,  Why  do  the  disciples  of 
John  and  of  the  Pharisees  fast, 
but  thy  disciples  fast  not?  And 
Jesus  said  unto  them.  Can  the 
children  of  the  bride-chamber  fast 
while  the  bridegroom  is  with

lump,  as  ye  are  unleavened.  For 
even  Christ  our  passover  is  sacri- 
ficed for  us:  Therefore  let  us 
keep  the  feast,  not  with  old  leaven, 
neither  with  the  leaven  of  malice 
and  wickedness;  but  with  the  un- 
leavened bread  of  sincerity  and 
truth.

MANNA. 

Num.  xi,  6-9.  But  now  our  soul  is 
dried  away:  there  is  nothing  at 
all,  besides  this  manna,  before  our 
eyes.  And  the  manna  was  as 
coriander-seed,  and  the  colour 
thereof  as  the  colour  of  bdellium. 
And  the  people  went  about,  and 
gathered  it,  and  ground  it  in  mills, 
or  beat  it  in  a  mortas*,  and  baked 
it  in  pans,  and  made  cakes  of  it: 
and  the  taste  of  it  was  as  the  taste 
of  fresh  oil.  And  when  the  dew 
fell  upon  the  camp  in  the  night, 
the  manna  fell  upon  it.

me  venison,  and  make  me  savoury 
meat,  tliat  I  may  eat,  and  bless 
thee  before  the  Lord  before  my 
death.  And  he  went,  and  fetched,

meat,  such  as  his  father  loved. 
And  she  gave  the  savoury  meat 
and  the  bread,  which  she  had  pre- 
pared, into  the  hand  of  her  non

venison,  that  my  soul  may  bless

in  fury;  and  I,  even  I,  will  chas-

thy  God  hath  given  thee,  in  the 
siege,  and  in  the  straitness,  where- 
with thine  enemies  shall  distress 
thee:  So  that  the  man  that  is  ten-

shall  leave:  So  that  he  will  not 
give  to  any  of  them  of  the  flesh  of 
his  children  whom  he  shall  eat; 
because  he  hath  nothing  left  him 
in  the  siege,  and  in  the  straitness, 
wherewith  thine  enemies  shall 
distress  thee  in  all  thy  gates.  The 
tender  and  delicate  woman  among 
you,  which  would  not  adventure

ground  for  delicateness  and  ten- 
derness, her  eye  shall  be  evil  to-

her  daughter,  And  toward  her 
young  one  that  cometh  out  from 
between  her  feet,  and  toward  har 
children  which  she  shall  bear:  for

Lord,  And  said,  my  God  forbid  it 
me,  that  J  should  do  this  thing:

men  that  have  put  their  lives  in

peace,  though  I  walk  in  the  ima- 
gination of  mine  heart,  to  add 
drunkenness  to  thirst:  The  Lord

man,  and  all  the  curses  that  are 
written  in  this  book  shall  lie  upon 
him,  and  the  Lord  shall  blot  out

women,  and  thine  heart  shall  utter 
perverse  things:  Yea,  thou  shalt 
be  as  he  that  lieth  down  in  the 
midst  of  the  sea,  or  as  he  that 
lieth  upon  the  top  of  a  mast.  They

mouth.  Now  Hannah,  she  spake 
in  her  heart;  only  her  lips  moved, 
but  her  voice  was  not  heard: 
therefore  Eli  thought  she  had 
been  drunken.  And  Eli  said  unto 
her,  How  long  wilt  thou  be  drun- 
ken? put  away  thy  wine  from 
thee.  And  Hannah  answered  and 
said.  No  my  lord;  I  am  a  woman 
of  a  sorrowful  spirit:  I  have  drunh 
neither  wine  nor  strong  drink,  but 
have  poured  out  my  soul  before 
the  Lord.  Count  not  thine  hand- 
maid for  a  daughter  of  Belial;  for 
out  of  the  abundance  of  my  com- 
plaint and  grief  have  I  spoken 
hitherto.

Judea,  and  all  ye  that  dwell  at 
Jerusalem,  be  this  known  unto 
you,  and  hearken  to  my  words: 
For  these  are  not  drunken,  as  ye 
suppose,  seeing  it  is  but  the  thu'd 
hour  of  the  day.

house  of  the  Rechubltes,  and

one  of  the  chambers,  and  give 
them  wine  to  c'.rink.  Then  I  took

was  by  the  chamber  of  the  princes, 
which  teas  above  the  chamber  of 
Maaseiah  the  son  of  Shallum,  the 
keeper  of  the  door:  And  I  set 
before  the  sons  of  the  house  of  the 
Rechabites  pots  full  of  whie,  and 
cups,  and  I  said  unto  them,  Drink 
ye  wine.  But  they  said,  We  will 
drink  no  wine:  for  Jonadab  the 
son  of  Rechab  our  father  com- 
manded us,  saying.  Ye  shall  drink 
no  wine,  neither  ye,  nor  your  sons 
for  ever:  Neither  shall  ye  build 
house,  nor  sow  seed,  nor  plant 
vineyard,  nor  have  any:  but  all 
your  days  ye  shall  dwell  In  tents; 
that  ye  may  live  many  days  in  the 
land  where  ye  be  strangers.  Thus 
have  we  obeyed  the  voice  of 
Jonadab  the  sou  of  Rechab,  our 
father,  in  all  that  he  hath  charged 
us,  to  drink  no  wine  all  our  days, 
we,  our  wives,  our  sons,  nor  our 
daughters.

him  nothing,  less  or  more,  until 
the  morning  iiglit.  But  it  came  to 
pass  in  the  morning, when  the  wine

I  pray  thee,  let  my  sister  Tamar

sanctified  them,  and  rose  up  early 
in  the  morning,  and  offered  burnt- 
off^M  ings  according  to  the  number 
of  them  ail:  for  Job  said,  It  may 
be  that  my  sons  have  sinned,  and 
cursed  God  in  their  hearts.  Thus 
did  Job  continually. 

Prov.  xxiii,  1,  3,  6,  8.  When 
thou  sittest  to  eat  with  a  ruler, 
consider  diligently  what  is  before 
thee.  Be  not  desirous  of  his 
dainties;  for  they  are  deceitful 
meat.  Eat  thou  not  the  bread  of 
him  that  Hath  an  evil  eye,  neither 
desire  thou  his  dainty  meats.  The 
morsel  which  thou  •  hast  eaten 
Bhalt  thou  vomit  up,  and  lose  thy 
sweet  words.

When  thou  art  bidden  of  any  man 
to  a  wedding,  sit  not  down  in  the 
highest  room,  lest  a  more  honour- 
able man  tlian  thou  be  bidden  of 
him;  And  he  that  bade  thee  and 
him  come  and  say  to  thee.  Give 
this  man  place;  and  thou  begin 
with  shame  to  take  the  lowest 
room.  But  when  thou  art  bidden, 
go  and  sit  down  in  the  lowest 
room;  that  when  he  that  bade 
tl-.ee  cometh,  he  may  say  unto 
tlice,  Friend,  go  up  higher:  then 
slialt  thou  have  worship  in  the 
presence  of  them  that  sit  at  meat 
with  thee.  Then  said  he  also  to 
him  that  bade  him.  When  thou 
makest  a  dinner  or  a  supper,  call 
not  thy  friends,  nor  thy  brethren, 
neither  thy  kinsmen,  nor  thy  rich 
neighbours;  lest  they  also  bid  thee 
again,  and  a  recompence  be  made 
thee.  But  when  thou  makest  a 
feast,  call  the  poor,  the  maimed, 
the  lame,  tlie  blind:  And  thou 
Shalt  be  blessed;  for  they  cannot 
recompense  thee:  for  thou  shalt  be 
recompensed  at  the  resurrection 
of  the  just.

unto  my  sorrow,  which  is  done 
unto  me,  wherewith  the  Lord  hath 
afllicted  me  in  the  day  of  h's  fierce 
anger.  From  above  hatli  he  sent 
fire  into  my  bones,  and  it  prevail- 
eth  against  them:  he  hath  spread 
a  net  for  my  feet;  he  hath  turned 
me  back;  he  hath  made  me  deso- 
late and  faint  all  the  day.  The 
yoke  of  my  transgressions  is  bound 
by  his  hand;  they  are  wreathed, 
ayid  come  up  upon  my  neck:  he 
hath  made  my  strength  to  fall;  the 
Lord  hath  delivered  me  into  their 
hands,  from  whom  I  am  not  able 
to  rise  up. 

Lam.  iii,  1, 2, 31-33. 1  am  the  man 
thathath  seen  affliction  by  the  rod 
of  his  wrath.  He  hath  led  me, 
and  brought  me  into  darkness 
but  not  into  light.  For  the  Lord 
will  not  cast  ofl'  for  ever:  But 
though  he  cause  grief,  yet  will  he 
have  compassion  according  to  the 
multitude  of  his  mercies.  For  he 
doth  not  afflict  willingly,  nor 
grieve  the  children  of  men.

have  exceeded.  He  openeth  also 
their  ear  to  discipline,  and  cora-

iniquity.  Take  heed,  regard  not 
iniquity:  for  this  hast  thou  chosen 
rather  than  affliction.

Lam.  iii,  19-21,  27,  28.  Remem- 
berhig  mine  affliction  and  my 
misery,  the  wormwood  and  the 
gall.  My  soul  hath  them  still  in 
remembrance,  and  is  humbled  in 
me.  This  I  recall  to  my  mind, 
thei-elbre  have  I  hope.  It  is  good 
for  a  man  that  he  bear  the  yoke 
in  his  youth.  He  sitteth  alone, 
and  keepeth  silence,  because  he 
hath  borne  it  upon  him. 

Ilosea  V,  15.  I  will  go  and  re- 
turn to  my  place,  till  they  acknow- 
ledge their  offence,  and  seek  my 
face:  in  their  affliction  they  will 
seek  me  early. 

2  Cor.  iv,  17.  For  our  light 
affliction,  which  is  but  for  a  mo- 
ment, worketh  for  us  a  far  more 
exceeding  and  eternal  weight  of 
glory. 

Heb.  xii,  11.  Now,  no  chastening 
for  the  present  seemeth  to  be 
joyous,  but  grievous:  nevertheless 
afterward  it  y ieldeth  the  peaceable 
fruit  of  righteousness  unto  them 
which  are  exercised  thereby. 

DISEASES  GENERALLY. 
SICKNESS. 

G^ew.xlviii,  1.  And  it  came  to 
pass  after  these  things,  that  one

two  sons,  Manasseh  and  Ephraim. 

2  Sam.  xii,  15.  And  Nathan  de- 
parted unto  his  house:  and  the 
Lord  struck  the  child  that  Uriah's 
wife  bare  unto  David,  and  it  was 
very  sick. 

Isa,  i,  5.  Why  should  ye  be 
stricken  any  more?  ye  will  revolt 
more  and  more.  The  whole  head 
is  sick,  and  the  whole  heart  faint. 

Dan.  viii,  27.  And  I  Daniel 
fainted,  and  was  sick  certain  days: 
afterward  I  rose  up,  and  did  the

derstood it. 


DISEASE  AND  DEATH;

man  was  sick,  named  Lazarus,  of

her  sister  Martha.  (It  was  that 
Mary  which  anointed  the  Lord 
with  ointment,  and  wiped  his  feet 
with  her  hair,  wliose  brother 
Lazarus  was  sick.)  Therefore 
his  sisters  sent  unto  him,  saying, 
Lord,  behold,  he  whom  thou  lovest 
is  sick.  When  Jesus  heard  that, 
he  said.  This  sickness  is  not  unto 
death,  but  for  the  glory  of  God, 
that  the  Son  of  God  might  be 
glorified  thereby. 

Fhil.  ii,  26.  For  ho  longed  after

shadow  that  dcclineth;  and  I  am 
withered  like  grass,

faileth  of  fatness.

the  eyes,  and   cause   sorrow   of

forth  with  blains  upon  man,  and 
upon  beast.

white  rising,  or  a  bright  spot, 
white,  and  somewhat  reddish,  and 
it  be  shewed  to  the  priest;  And 
if,  when  the  priest  seeth  it,  behold, 
it  be  in  sight  lower  than  the  skin, 
and  the  hair  thereof  be  turned 
white,  the  priest  shall  pronounce 
him  unclean:  it  is  a  plague  of 
leprosy  broken  out  of  tlie  boU. 
But  if  the  priest  look  on  it,  and, 
behold,  there  be  no  white  hairs 
therein,  and  if  it  be  not  lower 
tlian  the  skin,  but  be  somewhat 
dark;  then  the  priest  shall  shut 
him  up  seven  days.  And  if  it 
spread  much  abroad  in  the  skin,

God  should  be  made  manifest  in 
him

LAW  OF  LEPROSY. 

[unclean.] 
Lev.  xiii.  2,  3,  7-11,  14,  15,  24-27, 
29,  30,  35,  36,  42-44.  Wheft  a  man 
shall  have  in  the  skin  of  his  flesh 
a  rising,  a  scab,  or  bright  spot, 
and  it  be  in  the  skin  of  his  flesh 
like  the  plague  of  leprosy;  tlien  ho 
shall  be  brought  unto  Aaron  the 
priest,  or  unto  one  of  his  sons  the 
priests:  And  the  priest  shall  look 
on  the  plague  in  the  skin  of  the 
flesh;  and  ichen  the  hair  in  the 
piauiie  is  turned  white,  and  the 
phigne  in  sight  be  deeper  than  the 
skin  of  his  fli-sli,  it  is  a  plague  of 
leprosy:  and  the  priest  sliall  look 
on  him,  and  pronounce  him  un- 
clean. But  if  the  scab  spread 
much  abroad  in  the  skin,  after 
that  he  hath  been  seen  of  the 
priest  for  Ids  cleansing,  he  shall  be 
seen  of  the  priest  again.  And  if 
the  priest  see,  that,  behold,  the 
scab  spreadeth  in  the  skin;  then 
the  priest  shall  pronounce  him  un- 
clean: it  ^  a  leprosy.  When  the 
plague  of  leprosy  is  in  a  man,  then 
he  shall  be  brought  unto  the 
priest;  And  thts  priest  shall  see 
him:  and,  behold,  if  the  rising  be 
white  in  the  skin,  and  it  have 
turned  the  hair  white,  and  there 
be  quick  raw  flesh  in  the  rising, 
It  is  an  old  leprosy  in  the  skin  of 
his  flesh;  and  the  priest  shall  pro- 
nounce him  unclean,  and  shall  not 
shut  him  up:  for  he  is  unclean. 
But  when  raw  flesh  appeareth  in 
him,  he  shall  be  unclean.  And  the 
priest  shall  see  the  raw  flesh,  and 
pronounce  him  to  be  unclean;  for 
the  raw  flesh  is  unclean:  it  is  a 
leprosy.  Or  if  there  be  any  flesh, 
in  the  skin  whereof  there  is  a  hot 
burning,  and  the  quick  flesh  that 
burneth  have  a  white  bright  ppoi , 
somewhat  reddish,  or  white;  Tnuu 
the  priest  shall  look  upoii  u:  and, 
behold,  if  the  hair  in  the  bright 
spot  be  turned  white,  asd  it  be  in 
sight  deeper  than  the  skin,  it  is  a 
leprosy  broken  out  of  the  burning: 
wherefore  the  priest  shall  pro- 
nounce him  unclean:  it  is  the 
plague  of  h^prosy.  But  if  the 
priest  look  on  if,  and,  behold, there 
be  no  white  hair  in  the  bright  spot, 


DISEASE  AND  DEATH. 


and  it  be  no  lower  than  the  other 
skin,  but  he  somewhat  dark;  then 
the  priest  shall  shut  liim  np  seven 
days.  And  the  priest  shall  look 
upon  him  the  sevrinth  day:  and  if 
It  be  spread  much  abroad  in  the 
skin,  then  the  priest  shall  pro- 
nounce him  unclean:  it  is  the 
plague  of  leprosy.  If  a  man  or 
woman  have  a  plague  upon  the 
head  or  the  beard;  Then  the 
priest  shall  see  the  plague:  and, 
behold,  if  it  be  in  sight  deeper 
than  the  skin,  and  there  be  in  it  a 
yellow  thin  hair;  then  the  priest 
shall  pronounce  him  unclean:  it  is 
a  dry  scall,  even  a  leprosy  upon 
the  head  or  beard.  But  if  the 
scall  spread  much  in  the  skin  after 
his  cleansing;  Tlien  the  priest 
shall  look  on  him:  and,  behold,  If 
the  scall  fee  spread  in  the  skin,  tlie 
priest  shall  not  seek  for  yellow 
hair;  he  is  unclean.  And  if  there 
be  in  the  bald  head,  or  bald  fore- 
head, a  white  reddish  sore,  it  is  a 
leprosy  sprung  up  in  his  bald  head, 
or  his  bald  forehead.  Tlien  the 
priest  shall  look  upon  it:  and,  be- 
hold, if  the  rising  of  the  sore  be 
white  reddish  in  his  bald  head,  or 
in  his  bald  forehead,  as  the  leprosy 
appeareth  in  the  skin  of  the  flesh, 
He  is  a  leprous  man,  he  is  un- 
clean: the  priest  shall  pronounce 
him  utterly  unclean;  his  plague  is 
in  his  head. 


CLEAN.

skin  of  his  flesh,  and  in  sight  be 
not  deeper  than  the  skin,  and  the 
hair  thereof  be  not  turned  white; 
then  the  priest  shall  shut  up  him 
that  hath  the  plague  seven  days. 
And  the  priest  sliall  look  on  Jiim 
the  seventh  day:  and,  behold,  if 
the  plague  in  his  sight  be  at  a 
stay,  and  the  plague  spread  not  in

wash  his  clothes,  and  be  clean. 
But  if  the  scall  be  in  his  sight  at  a 
stay,  and  that  there  is  black  hair 
grown  up  therein,  the  scall  is 
healed,  he  is  clean:  and  the  priest

shall  his  habitation  be. 

Num.  V,  2-4.  Command  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel,  that  tliey  put  out 
of  the  camp  every  leper,  and  every 
one  that  hath  an  issue,  and  whoso- 
ever is  defiled  by  the  dead:  Both 
male  and  female  shall  ye  put  out, 
without  the  camp  shall  ye  put 
them;  that  they  defile  not  their 
camps,  in  the  midst  whereof  I 
dwell.  And  the  children  of  Israel 
did  so,  and  put  them  out  without 
the  camp:  as  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Moses,  HO  did  the  children  of 
Israel. 

LEPROSY  IN  GARMENTS. 

Lev.  xiii,  49-59.  And  if  the 
plague  be  greenish  or  reddish  in 
the  garment,  or  in  the  skin,  either 
in  the  warp,  or  in  the  woof,  or  in 
any  thing  of  skin;  it  is  a  plague  of 
leprosy,  and  shall  be  shewed  unto 
the  priest.  And  the  priest  sliall 
look  upon  the  plague,  and  shut 
up  it  that  hath  the  plague  seven 
days.  And  he  sliall  look  on  the 
plague  on  the  seventh  day:  if  the 
plague  be  spread  in  the  garment, 
either  in  the  warp,  or  in  the  woof, 
or  in  a  skin,  or  in  any  work  that 
is  made  of  skin,  the  plague  is 
a  fretting  leprosy;  it  is  unclean, 
lie  shall  therefore  burn  that  gar- 
ment, whether  warp  or  woof,  in 
woollen  or  in  linen,  or  any.  thing 
of  sliin,  wherein  the  plague  is:  for 
it  is  a  fretting  h^piosy:  it  shall  he 
burnt  in  the  Are.  And  if  the 
priest  shall  look,  and,  behold,  the 
plague  be  not  siiread  in  the  gar- 
ment, either  in  the  warp,  or  in 
the  woof,  or  in  any  thing  of  skin; 
Then  the  priest  shall  command 
that  they  Avash  tfte  thing  wlierein 
the  plague  is,  and  he  shall  shut  it 
up  seven  days  more.  And  the 
priest  shall  look  on  the  plague, 
after  that  it  is  washed:  and,  be- 
168 


hold,  if  the  pTagiio  have  not 
changed  his  colour,  and  thi;  plague 
be  not  spread,  it  is  unclean;  thou 
slialt  burn  it  in  the  fire:  it  is  fret 
inward,  whether  it  be  bare  within 
or  without.  And  if  the  priest 
look,  and,  behold,  the  plague  be 
somewhat  dark  after  the  washing 
of  it;  then  he  shall  rend  it  out  of 
(lie  garment,  or  out  of  the  skin, 
or  out  of  the  warp,  or  out  of  tlie 
woof.  And  if  it  appear  still  in  tlie 
garment,  either  in  the  warp,  or  in 
the  woof,  or  in  any  thing  of  skhi, 
it  is  a  spreading  plague;  thou 
Shalt  burn  that  wherein  the 
plague  is  with  fire.  And  the  gar- 
ment, either  warp  or  woof,  or 
Avhatsoever  thing  of  skin  it  be, 
which  thou  shalt  wash,  if  the 
plague  be  departed  from  them 
then  it  shall  be  washed  thesecon  1 
time,  and  shall  be  clean.  This  is 
the  law  of  the  plague  of  leprosy 
in  a  garment  of  woollen  or  linen, 
either  in  the  warp,  or  woof,  or 
any  thing  of  skins,  to  pronounce

is  unclean,  and  when  it  is  clean: 
this  is  the  law  of  leprosy. 

Deut.  xxiv,  8.  Take  heed  in  the 
plague  of  leprosy,  that  thou  ob-

I  should  have  sorrow  upon  sor- 
row. I  sent  him  therefore  the 
more  carefully,  that,  when  ye  see 
him  again,  ye  may  rejoice,  and 
that  I  may  be  the  less  sorrowful. 

DEATH, 
ORIGINAL  SENTENCE. 

Gen.  iii,  19 Dust  tliou  art, 

and  unto  dust  shalt  thou  return. 

Pom.  V,  12.  Wherefore,  as  by 
one  man  sin  entered  into  the 
world,  and  death  by  sin;  and  so 
deatli  passed  upon  all  men,  lor 
that  all  have  sinned.

SHORTNESS  AND  UNCER- 
TAINTY OP  LIFE. 

Gen.  xxvii,  2.  And  he  said.  Be- 
hold, now,  I  am  old,  I  know  not 
the  day  of  my  death. 

Gen.  xlvii,  9.  And  Jacob  said 
unto  Pharaoh,  The  days  of  the 
years  of  my  pilgrimage  are  an 
hundred  and  thirty  years:  few 
and  evil  have  the  days  of  the 
years  of  my  life  been,  and  have 
not  attained  unto  the  days  of  the 
years  of  the  life  of  my  fathers  in 
the  days  of  their  pilgrimage. 

1  Sam.xx,3 Truly,  as  the 

Lord  liveth,  and  as  thy  soul  liv- 
eth,  there  is  but  a  step  between 
me  and  death. 

1  Ghron.  xxix,  15.  For  we  are 
strangers  before  thee,  and  so- 
journers, as  were  all  our  fathers: 
our  days  on  the  earth  are  as  a 
shadow,  and  there  is  none  abid- 
ing. 

Job  vi,  12.  7s  my  strength  the 
strength  of  stones?  or  ia  my  flesh 
of  brass? 

Job  Ix,  25,  26.  Now  my  days  are 
swifter  tlian  a  post:  they  flee  away, 
they  see  no  good.  They  are  pass- 
ed away  as  the  swift  ships:  as  the 
eagle  that  hasteth  to  her  prey. 

Job  X,  20.  Are  not  my  days  few? 
cease  then,  and  let  me  alone,  that 
I  may  take  comfort  a  little. 

Job  xiv,  1-3, 5, 6.  Man  that  is  born 
of  a  woman  is  of  few  days,  and 
full  of  trouble.  He  cometh  forth 
like  a  flower,  and  is  cut  down:  he 
fleeth  also  as  a  shadow,  and  con- 
tinueth  not.  And  dost  tliou  open 
thine  eyes  upon  such  an  one,  and 
bringest  me  into  judgment  with 
thee?  Seeing  his  days  are  deter- 
mined, the  number  of  his  months 
are  with  thee,  thou  hast  appoint- 
ed his  bounds  that  he  cannot  pass; 
Turn  from  him,  that  he  may  rest, 
till  he  shall  accomplish,  as  an 
liireling,  nls  day.

rupt, my  days  are  extinct,  the

me  to  know  mine  end,  and  the 
measure  of  my  days,  wliat  it  is; 
that  I  may  know  how  frail  I  am. 
Behold,  thou  hast  made  my  days 
as  an  hand-breadth,  and  mine  age 
is  as  nothing  before  thee:  verily 
evtfry  man  at  his  best  state  is  alto- 
gether  A'anlty.  Selah.  O  spare 
me  that  I  may  recover  strength, 
be  tore  I  go  hence,  aud  be  no 
more. 

Isa.  xl,  6,  7.  The  voice  said. 
Cry.  And  he  said.  What  shall  I 
cry?  All  flesh  is  g:rass,  and  all  the 
goodliness  thereof  is  as  the  flower 
of  the  fleld:    The  grass  witheretli. 


DISEASE  AND  DEATH. 


tbe  flower  fadeth:  because  the 
spirit  of  the  Lokd  bloweth  upon 
it;  surely  the  people  is  grass. 

Fs.  xc,  10.  The  days  of  our  years 
are  threescore  years  and  ten;  and 
If  by  reason  of  strength  they  be 
fourscore  years,  yet  is  their 
strength  labour  and  sorrow:  for  it 
is  soon  cut  ofi",  and  we  fly  away. 

^5.  ciii,  15, 16.  As  for  man,  his 
days  aix  as  grass:  as  a  flower  of 
the  field,  so  he  flourisheth.  For 
the  wind  passPth  over  it,  and  it  is 
gone;  and  the  place  thereof  shall 
know  it  no  more. 

Ps.  cxix,  109.  My  soul  is  con- 
tinually in  my  hand:  yet  do  I  not 
forget  thy  law. 

Frov.  xxvii,  1.  Boast  not  thyself 
of  to-morrow;  for  thou  knowest 
not  what  a  day  may  bring  forth. 

Zech.  i,  6.  Your  fathers,  where 
are  they?  and  the  prophets,  do 
they  live  for  ever? 

2  Tim.  iv,  6.  For  I  am  now  ready 
to  be  olTered,  and  the  time  of  my 
departure  is  at  hand. 

James  i,  10.  But  the  rich,  in  that 
he  is  made  low:  because  as  the 
flower  of  the  grass  he  shall  pass 
away. 

FRAILTY  OP  LIFE. 

Job  iv,  17-21.  Shall  mortal 
man  be  more  just  than  God?  shall 
a  man  be  more  pure  than  his 
Maker?  Behold,  he  put  no  trust 
in  his  servants;  and  his  angels  he 
charged  with  folly:  How  much 
less  in  them  that  dwell  in  houses 
of  clay,  whose  foundation  is  in  the 
dust,  toMch  are  crushed  before  the 
moth?  They  are  destroyed  from 
morning  to  evening:  they  perish 
for  ever,  without  any  regarding 
it They  die,  even  with- 
out wisdom. 

Job  vii,  17,  18.  What  is  man, 
that  thou  shouldest  magnify  him? 
and  that  thou  shouldest  set  thine 
heart  heart  upon  him?  And  that 
thou  shouldest  visit  him  every 
morning,  and  try  iiim  every  mo- 
ment? 

Fs.  Ixxxix,  47.  Remember  how 
short  my  time  is:  wherefore  hast 
thou  made  made  all  men  in  vain? 

Fs.  xc,  4,  9.  For  a  thousand 
years  in  thy  sight  are  but  as 
yesterday  when  it  is  past,  and  as 
a  watch  in  the  night.  For  all  our 
days  are  passed  away  in  thy 
wrath:  we  spend  our  years  as  a 
tale  that  is  told. 

Fs.  ciii,  14, 19.  For  he  knoweth 
our  frame:  he  remembereth  that 
we  arc  dust;  The  Loud  hath  pre- 
pared his  throne  in  the  heavens; 
and  his  kingdom  ruleth  over  all. 

Eccles.  xii,  6,  7.  Or  ever  the 
silver  cord  be  loosed,  or  the  golden 
bowl  be  broken,  or  the  pitcher  be 
broken  at  the  lountain,  or  the 


wheel  broken  at  the  cistern:  Then 
shall  the  dust  return  to  the  earth 
as  it  was;  and  the  spirit  shall  re- 
turn imto  God  who  gave  it. 

LESSONS.

Deut.  xxxii,  29.  Oh  that  they 
were  wise,  that  they  understood 
tills,  that  they  would  consider 
their  latter  endl

ber our  days,  that  we  may  apply 
our  hearts  unto  wisdom. 

1  (7or.  vil.30,  31.  And  they  that 
weep,  as  though  they  wept  not; 
and  they  that  rejoice,  as  though 
they  rejoiced  not;  and  they  that 
buy,  as  though  they  possessed 
not;  And  they  that  use  this 
world,  as  not  abusing  it:  for  the 
fashion  of  this  world  passeth 
away. 

2  (7or.  Iv,  16.  For  which  cause 
we  faint  not;  but  though  our  out- 
ward man  perish,  yet  the  inward 
man  is  renewed  day  by  day.

deeming the  time.

no  continuinrj  city,  but  we  seek 
one  to  come. 

James  iv,  13-15.  Go  to  now,  ye 
that  say.  To-day,  or  to-morrow, 
we  will  go  into  such  a  city,  and 
continue  there  a  year,  and  buy 
and  sell,  and  get  gain;  Whereas 
ye  know  not  what  shall  be  on  the 
morrow.  For  what  is  your  life? 
It  is  even  a  vapour,  that  appear- 
eth  for  a  little  time,  and  then 
vanisheth  away.  For  that  ye 
ought  to  say,  If  the  Lord  will,  we 
shall  live,  and  do  this,  or  that. 

DEATH  THE  WILL  OF  GOD.

in  the  multitude  of  their  riches; 
171 


None  of  them  can  by  any  meana 
redeem  his  brother,  nor  give  to 
God  a  ransom  for  him;  (For  the 
redemption  of  their  soul  is  pre- 
cious, and  it  ceaseth  for  ever;) 
That  he  should  still  live  for  ever, 
and  not  see  corruption.

poets  have  said.  For  we  are  also 
his  offspring.

AN  APPOINTED  TIME 
TO  DIE. 

Xum.  XX,  24-26.  Aaron  shall  be 
gathered  unto  his  people;  for  he 
shall  not  enter  into  the  land  which 
I  have  given  unto  the  children  of 
Israel,  because  ye  rebelled  against 
my  word  at  the  water  of  Meribah. 
Take  Aaron  and  Eleazar  his  son, 
and  bring  them  up  unto  mount 
Hor;  And  strip  Aaron  of  his  gar- 
ments, and  put  them  upon  Eleazar 
his  son:  and  Aaron  shall  be 
gathered  unto  his  people,  and 
shall  die  there. 

Deut.  xxxil,  50.  And  die  in  the 
mount  whither  thou  goest  up,  and 
be  gathered  unto  thy  people;  as

Job  vii,  1,  2.  Is  there  not  an 
appointed  time  to  man  upon 
earth?  are  not  his  days  also  like

shadow,  and  as  an  hireling  look- 
eth  for  the  reward  of  his  wurk. 

Job  xiv,  5, 14.  Seeing  his  days  are 
determined,  the  number  of  his

day  I  am  going  the  way  of  all  the

hearts,  and  in  all  your  souls,  that 
not  one  thing  liath  failed  of  all  the 
good  things  wliich  the  Lord  your 
God  spake  concerning  you;  all 
are  come  to  pass  unto  you,  and 
not  one  thing  hath  failed  thereof. 

Judges  il,  10.  And  also  all  that 
generation  were  gathered  unto 
their  fatliers:  and  tlicre  arose

neither  shall  his  place  know  him 
any  more.

dietii,  and  wasteth  away;  yea,  man 
giveth  up  the  gliost,  and  where  is 
he?  So  man  lietli  down,  and  ri.setli 
not:  till  the  heavens  be  no  more, 
they  shall  not  awake,  nor  be  raised 
out  of  their  sleep.  The  waters 
wear  tlie  stones:  thou  washest 
away  the  things  which  grow  out 
of  the  dust  of  the  earth;  and  thou 
destroyest  the  hope  of  man.  Tliou 
prevailest  for  ever  against  him, 
and  he  passeth;  thou  changest  his 
countenance,  and  sendest  him 
away. 

Job  xxi,  23,  25,  26,  32,  33.  One 
dieth  in  his  full  strength,  being 
wliolly  at  ease  and  quiet.  And

of  his  soul,  and  never  eateth 
With    pleasure.     They    shall  lie 


down  alike  in  the  dust,  and  the 
worms  shall  cover  them.  Yet 
shall  he  be  brought  to  the 
grave,  and  shall  remain  in  the 
tomb.  The  clods  of  the  valley 
shall  be  sweet  unto  him,  and 
every  man  shall  draw  after  him, 
as  there  are  innumerable  before 
him. 

Job  xxiv,  24,  They  are  ex- 
alted for  a  little  while,  but  are 
gone  and  brought  low;  they  are 
taken  out  of  the  way  as  all  other, 
and  cut  off  as  the  tops  of  the 
ears  of  corn. 

Job  xxxiv,  14, 15.  If  he  set  his 
heart  upon  man,  i/he  gather  unto

man  shall  turn  again  i;nto  dust. 

Eccles.  1, 4.  One  generation  pass- 
eth away,  and  another  generation 
Cometh:  but  the  earth  abideth  for 
ever. 

Eccles.  il,  16.  For  there  is  no  re- 
membrance of  the  wise  more  than 
of  tlie  fool  for  ever;  seeing  that 
which  now  is,  in  the  days  to  come 
shall  all  be  forgotten:  and  how 
dieth  the  wise  manf  as  the  fool. 

Eccles.  iv,  15.  I  considered  all 
the  living  which  walk  under  the 
sun,  with  the  second  child  that 
shall  stand  up  in  his  stead. 

Eccles.  vi,  6.  Yea,  though  he 
live  a  thousand  years  twice  told, 
yet  hath  he  seen  no  good:  do  not 
all  go  to  one  place? 

Eccles.  vili,  8.  There  is  no  man 
that  hath  power  over  the  spirit, 
to  retain  the  spirit;  neither  hath 
he  power  in  the  day  of  death:  and 
tliere  is  no  discharge  in  that  war; 
neither  sliall  wickedness  deliver 
those  that  are  given  to  it. 

Eccles.  xli,  6.  Also  when  they 
shall  be  afraid  of  that  which  is 
high,  and  fears  shall  be  in  the  way 
and  the  almond-tree  shall  flourish. 

Zech.  i,  5.  Your  fathers,  where 
are  they?  and  the  prophets,  do 
they  live  for  ever? 

ITeb.  vii,  23.  And  they  truly  were 
many  priests,  because  they  were 
not  suffered  to  continue  by 
reason  of  death. 


PREPARATION    FOR 

DEATH    OF    VARIOUS 

KINDS. 

I.— SECULAR. 

2  Kings  xx,  1.  In  those  days  was 

Hezekiali  sick  unto  death:  and  the 

prophet  Isaiah  the  son  of  Amoz 

came  to  him,  and  said  unto  him, 

Tlius   saith  the  Lord,  Set  thine 

house  In  order;  for  thou  shalt  die, 

and  not  live. 

m 


Isa.  xxxvlli,  1.  In  those  days 
was  Ilezekiah  sick  unto  death. 
And  Isaiah  the  propliet,  the  son 
of  Amoz,  came  unto  him,  and  said 
unto  him.  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Set  thine  house  in  order:  for  thou 
Shalt  die,  and  not  live. 

Heb.  ix,  16,  17.  For  where  a 
testament  is  there  must  also  of 
necessity  be  the  death  of  the 
testator.  For  a  testament  is  of 
force  after  men  are  dead:  other 
wise  it  is  of  no  strength  at  all  while 
the  testator  liveth. 


II.— SOLICITUDE  FOR 
SURVIVORS. 
Deut.  xxxi,  14,  28,  29.  And  the 
Lord  said  unto  Moses,  I3ehold,  thy 
days  approach  that  thou  must  die: 
call  Joshua,  and  present  your- 
selves in  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation,  that  I  may  give  him 
a  charge.  And  Moses  and  Joshua 
went,  and  presented  themselves 
in  the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion. Gather  unto  me  all  the 
elders  of  your  tribes,  and  your 
officers,  that  I  may  speak  these 
words  in  their  ears,  and  call 
heaven  and  earth  to  record 
against  them.  For  I  know  that 
after  my  death  ye  will  utterly 
corrupt  yourselves,  and  turn  aside 
from  the  way  which  I  have  com- 
manded you;  and  evil  will  befall 
you  in  the  latter  days;  because  ye 
will  do  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  to  provoke  him  to  anger 
through  the  work  of  your  hands. 

1  Kings  il,  1, 2.  Now  the  days  of 
David  drew  nigli  that  he  should 
die;  and  he  charged  Solomon  his 
son,  saying,  I  go  tlie  way  of  all  the 
earth:  be  thou  strong  therefore, 
and  shew  thyself  a  man. 

2  Peter  i,  15.  Moreover,  I  will 
endeavour  that  ye  may  be  able 
after  my  decease  to  have  these 
things  always  in  remembrance. 


III. -CHARGE  IN  REGARD 

TO  BODY  WHEN  DEAD. 

Gen.  xlvii,  29,  30.  And  the  time 
drew  nigh  that  Israel  must  die, 
and  he  called  his  son  Joseph,  and 
said  imto  him.  If  now  I  have 
found  grace  in  thy  sight,  put,  I 
pray  thee,  thy  hand  under  my 
thigh,  and  deal  kindly  and  truly 
with  me;  bury  me  not,  I  pray 
thee,  in  Egypt:  But  I  will  He  with 
my  fathers;  and  thou  shalt  carry 
me  out  of  Egypt,  and  bury  me 
in  their  burying-place.  And  he

I  die:  in  my  grave  which  I  have 
digged  for  me  in  the  land  ot 
Canaan,  there  shalt  thou  bury 
me.  Now  therefore  let  mo  go  up, 
I  pray  thee,  and  bury  my  father, 
and  I  will  come  again.  And 
Pharaoh  said,  Go  up  and  bury  thy 
father,  according  as  he  made  thee 
swear.  And  Josepli  took  an  oath 
of  the  chikh-en  of  Israel,  saying, 
God  will  surely  visit  you,  and  ye 
shall  carry  up  my  bones  from 
hence. 

2  Sam.  x\x,  37.  Let  thy  servant, 
I  pray  thee,  turn  back  again,  that

father  and  of  my  mother

goest. 

Jsa.  xxxviii,  18, 19.  For  the  grave 
cannot  praise  thee,  deatli  can  not 
celebrate  thee:  they  that  go  down 
into  the  pit  cannot  hope  for  thy 
truth.  The  living,  the  living,  he

the  father  to  the  children  shall 
make  known  thy  truth,

against  the  inhabitants  thereof, 
that  they  should  become  a  desola- 
tion and  a  curse,  and  hast  rent 
thy  clothes,  and  wept  before  me; 
I  also  have  heard  thee,  saith  the 
Lord.  Behold,  therefore,  I  will 
gather  thee  unto  thy  fathers,  and 
thou  Shalt  be  gathered  into  thy 
grave  in  peace;  and  thine  eyes 
shall  not  see  all  the  evil  which  I 
will  bring  upon  this  place.  And 
they  brought  the  king  word 
again.

etli,  and  no  man  layelh  it  to  heart;

Luke  xvl,  22, 25.  And  It  came  to 
pass,  that  the  beggar  died,  and

Abraham  said.  Son,  remember 
that  thou  in  thy  lifetime  receivedst

unto  them.  Our  friend  Lazarus 
sleepeth;  but  I  go,  that  I  may 
awake  him  out  of  sluep.  Then 
said  his  disciples,  Lord,  if  he 
sleep,  he  shall  do  well.  Ilowbeit 
Jesus  spake  of  his  death:  but  they 
tiionght  that  he  had  spoken  of 
taking  of  rest  in  sleep.

DISEASE  AND  DEATH. 


Lord:  whether  we  live  therefore, 
or  die,  we  are  the  Lord's. 

1  Qor.  iii,  22,  23.  Whether  Paul 
or  ApoUos,  or  Cephas,  or  the 
world,  or  life,  or  death,  or  things 
present,  or  things  to  come;  all  are 
yours;  And  a  e  are  Christ's;  and 
Christ  is  God's. 

ThR.  i,  21,  23.  For  me  to  live  is 
Christ,  and  to  die  is  gain.  For  I 
am  in  a  strait  betwixt  two,  having 
a  desire  to  depart,  and  be  with 
Christ;  which  is  far  better. 

i?eu.  xiv,  13.  And  I  heard  a 
voice  from  heaven  saying  unto 
me.  Write,  Blessed  are  the  dead 
which  die  in  the  Lord  from  hence-

may  rest  from  their  labours;  and 
their  works  do  follow  them.

my  Redeemer  liveth,  and  that  he 
shall  stand  at  the  latter  day  upon 
the  earth:  And  though  after  my 
skin  loorms  destroy  this  body,  yet 
in  my  fltsh  shall  I  see  God. 
Whom  I  shall  see  for  myself, 
and  mine  eyes  shall  behold,  and 
not  another;  though  my  reins  be 
consumed  within  me.

tion for  ever. 

Luke  ii,  29,  30.  Loi- !,  now  lettest 
thou  thy  servant  depart  in  peace,

eyes  have  seen  thy  salvation. 

John  xiv,  2,  3.  In  my  Father's 
house  are  many  mansions:  if  it 
were  not  so,  I  would  have  told 
yon.  I  go  to  prepare  a  place  for 
you.  And  if  I  go  and  prepare  a 
place  for  you,  I  will  come  again, 
and  receive  you  unto  myself;  that 
where  I  am,  there  ye  may  be 
also. 

JRom.  vlii,  38, 39.  For  I  am  per- 
suaded, that  neither  death,  nor 
Ufe,  nor  angels,  nor  principalities, 
nor  powers,  nor  things  present, 
nor  things  to  come.  Nor  height, 
uor  depth,  nor  any  other  creature, 


shall  be  able  to  separate  us  from 
the  love  of  God,  which  is  in  Christ 
Jesus  our  Lord. 

1  Qor.  XV,  55-57.  O  death,  where 
is  thy  sting?  O  grave,  where  is  thy 
victory?  The  sting  of  death  is  sin; 
and  the  strengtli  of  sin  is  the  law. 
But  thanks  be  to  God,  which 
giveth  us  the  victory  through  our 
Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

2  (7or.  V,  8.  We  are  confident,  I 
say,  and  willing  rather  to  be  ab- 
sent from  the  body,  and  to  be 
present  with  the  Lord. 

2  Tim.  iv,  7,  8.  I  have  fought  a 
good  fight,  I  have  finished  my 
course,  I  have  kept  the  faith: 
Henceforth  there  is  laid  up  for  me 
a  crown  of  righteousness,  which 
the  Lord,  the  righteous  Judge, 
shall  give  me  at  that  day;  and  not 
to  me  only,  but  unto  all  them  also 
that  love  his  appearing.

stood  up  from  before  his  dead, 
and  spake  unto  the  sons  of  Heth, 
saying,  I  am  a  stranger  and  a 
sojourner  with  you:  give  me  a  pos- 
session of  a  burying-place  with 
you,  that  I  may  bury  my  dead  out 
of  my  sight.

are  laid  in  the  grave;  death  shall 
feed  on  them;  and  the  upright

the  morning;  and  their  beauty 
shall  consume  in  the  grave  from 
their  dwelling. 

Ps.  Ixxx,  16.  It  is  burnt  with

brought  down  to  the  grave,  and 
the  noise  of  thy  viols:  the  worm 
is  spread  under  thee,  and  the 
wonns  cover  thee. 

John  xl,  39.  Jesus  said.  Take 
ye  away  the  stone.  Martha,  the 
sister  of  him  that  was  dead,  saith 
unto  him,  Lord,  by  this  time  he 
stinketh:  for  he  hath  been  dead 
four  days. 

Acts  xiii,  36.  For  David,  after 
he  had  served  his  own  generation 
by  the  will  of  God,  fell  on  sleep, 
and  was  laid  unto  his  fathers,  and 
saw  corruption.

II.— THE  DEAD  FORGOTTEN. 

Job  viii,  18,  19.  If  he  destroy 
him  from  his  place,  then  it  shall 
deny  him,  saying,  I  have  not  seen 
thee.  Behold,  this  is  the  joy  of 
his  way,  and  out  of  the  earth  shall 
others  grow. 

Job  xviii,  17.  His  remembrance 
shall  perish  from  the  earth,  and 
he  shall  have  no  name  in  the 
street. 

Job  XX,  8.  He  shall  fly  away  as 
a  dream,  and  shall  not  be  found; 
yea,  he  shall  be  chased  away  as  a 
vision  of  the  night. 

Ps.  xxxi,  12,  I  am  forgotten  as  a 
dead  man  out  of  mind:  I  am  like  a 
broken  vessel. 

Ps.  Ixxxviii,  4,  5.  I  am  counted 
with  them  that  go  down  into  the 
pit;  I  am  as  a  man  that  hath  no 
strength.  Free  among  the  dead, 
like  the  slain  that  lie  in  the  grave, 
whom  thou  rememberest  no  more: 
and  they  are  cut  off  from  thy 
hand. 

Eccles.  11, 16.  For  there  is  no  re- 
membrance of  the  wise  more  than 
of  the  fool  for  ever. 

Eccles.  iv,  16.  There  is  no  end  of 
all  the  people,  even  of  all  that 
have  been  before  them:  they  also 
that  come  after  shall  not  rejoice  in 
him.  Surely  this  also  is  vanity 
and  vexation  of  spirit. 

Eccles.  viii,  10.  And  so  I  saw 
the  wicked  buried,  who  had  come 
and  gone  from  the  place  of  the 
holy,  and  they  were  forgotten  in 
the  city  where  they  had  so  done. 
This  is  also  vanity. 

III.— TOTALLY  AND  FOR 

EVER  CUT  OFF  FROM  THE 

WORLD. 

2  Chron.  xxxiv,  28.  Behold,  I 
will  gather  thee  to  thy  fathers, 
and  thou  shalt  be  gathered  to  thy 
grave  in  peace,  neither  shall  thine 
eyea  see  all  the  evil  that  I  will 
bring  upon  this  place,  and  upon 
the  inhabitants  of  the  same.  So 
they  brought  the  king  word 
again. 

Job  iii,  17-19.  There  the  wicked 
cease  from  troubling;  and  there 
the  weary  be  at  rest.  There  the 
prisoners  rest  together,  they  hear 
not  the  voice  of  the  oppressor. 
The  small  and  great  are  there; 
and  the  servant  is  free  from  his 
master. 

Job  X,  21.  Before  I  go  whence  I 
shall  not  return,  even  to  the  land 
of  darkness,  and  the  shadow  of 
death. 

Job  xiv,  11,13-15,21.  ^sthe  waters 
fail  from  the  sea,  and  the  flood 
decayeth  and  drieth  up.  Oh  that 
thou  wouldest  hide  me  in  the 
grave,  that  thou  wouldest  keep 
me  secret,  until  thy  wrath  be 
past;  that  thou  wouldest  appoint 


DISEASE  AND  DEATH. 


me  a  set  time,  and  remember  me! 
if  a  man  die,  shall  ho  live  agaluf 
all  the  days  of  my  appointed  time 
will  I  wait,  till  my  change  come. 
Thou  Shalt  call,  and  I  will  an- 
swer thee:  thou  wilt  have  a  desire 
to  the  work  of  thine  hands.  His 
sons  come  to  honour,  and  he 
kiioweth  it  not;  and  they  are 
brought  low,  but  he  perceiveth  it 
not  of  them. 

Job  xxi,  21.  For  what  pleasure 
haf/i  ho  in  his  house  after  him, 
wlien  the  number  of  his  months 
is  cut  off  in  the  midst? 

Ps.  xlix,  10, 16-19.  For  he  seeth 
that  wise  men  die,  likewise  the 
fool  and  the  brutish  person  per- 
ish, and  leave  their  wealth  to 
others.  Be  not  thou  afraid  when 
one  is  made  rich,  when  the  glory 
of  his  house  is  increased:  For 
when  he  dieth  he  shall  carry  no- 
thing away;  his  glory  shall  not 
descend  after  him:  Though 
While  he  lived  he  blessed  his  soul: 
and  tnen  will  praise  thee,  when 
thou  doest  well  to  thyself.  He 
shall  go  to  the  generation  of  his 
fathers:  they  shall  never  see 
light. 

Fs.  Ixxviii,  39.  For  he  remem- 
bered that  they  were  but  flesh;  a 
wind  that  passeth  away,  and  com- 
eth  not  again. 

Prov.  xi,  7.  "When  a  wicked  man 
dieth,  his  expectation  shall  perish; 
and  the  hope  of  unjust  men  per- 
Isheth. 

Eecles.  V,  16.  And  this  also  is  a 
sore  evil,  tMt  in  all  points  as  he 
came,  so  siiall  he  go:  and  what 
profit  hath  he  that  hath  laboured 
tor  the  wind. 


THE  DARK  REALM  OP 
DEATH. 

Job  X,  22.  A  land  of  darkness, 
as  darkness  itself;  and  of  the 
shadow  of  death,  without  any 
order,  and  where  the  light  is  as 
darkness. 

Job  xviii,  18.  He  shall  be  driven 
from  light  into  darkness,  and 
chased  out  of  the  world. 

Job  xxxviii,  17.  Have  the  gates 
of  death  been  opened  unto  thee? 
or  hast  thou  seen  the  doors  of  the 
shadow  of  death? 

Eecles.  xi,  8.  But  if  a  man  live 
many  years,  and  rejoice  in  them 
all;  yet  let  him  remember  the  days 
of  darkness;  for  they  shall  be 
many.    All  that  cometh  is  vanity. 

Isa.  xiv,  9,  10.  Hell  from  be- 
neath is  moved  for  thee  to  meet 
Viee  at  thy  coming:  it  stirreth  up 
the  dead  fur  thee,  even  all  the 
chief  ones  of  the  earth;  it  hath 
raised  up  from  their  thrones  all  the 
kings  of  the  nations.  All  they  shall 
speak  and  say  unto  thee.  Art 
thou  also  become  weak  as  we?  art 
thou  become  like  unto  us? 


Lnm.  ill,  6.  lie  hath  set  me  in  dnrk 
places,  as  thcij  that  be  dead  of  old. 
Ezek.  xvi,  20  When  I  shall  bring 
thee  down  with  them  that  descend 
into  the  pit,  with  the  people  of 
old  time,  and  shall  set  thee  in  the 
low  parts  of  the  earth,  in  places 
desolate  of  old,  with  them  that  go 
down  to  the  pit,  that  thou  be  not 
inhabited;  and  J  shall  set  glory  in 
the  land  ut  the  living.

Lev.  X,  4,  5.  And  Moses  called 
Mishael  and  Elzaphan,  the  sons 
of  Uzziel,  the  uncle  of  Aaron,  and 
said  unto  them.  Come  near,  carry 
your  brethren  from  before  the 
sanctuary  out  of  the  camp.  So 
they  went  near,  and  carried  them 
in  their  coats  out  of  the  camp;  as 
Moses  had  said. 

2  Qhron.  xvi,  14.  And  they 
buried  him  in  his  own  sepulchres, 
which  he  had  made  for  himself  in 
the  city  of  David,  and  laid  him  in 
the  bed  which  was  filled  with 
sweet  odours,  and  divers  kinds  of 
spices  prepared  by  the  apothe- 
caries' art;  and  they  made  a  very 
great  burning  for  him. 

Jer.  xxxiv,  4,  5.  Yet  hear  the 
word  of  the  Lokd,  O  Zedekiah, 
king  of  Judah;  Thus  saith  the 
Loed  of  thee.  Thou  shalt  not  die 
by  the  sword;  But  thou  shalt  die 
in  peace:  and  with  the  burnings  of 
thy  fathers,  the  former  kings 
which  were  before  thee,  so  shall 
they  burn  odours  for  thee;  and 
they  will  lament  thee,  saying,  Ah 
lord!  for  I  have  pronounced  the 
word,  saith  the  Lord. 

Matt,  xxvi,  12.  For  in  that  she 
hath  poured  this  ointment  on  my 
body,  she  did  it  for  my  burial.

dead  came  forth,  bound  hand  and 
foot  with  grave  clothes;  and  his

kin. Jesus  saith  unto  them,  Loose 
him,  and  let  him  go. 

John  xix,  40.  Then  took  they 
the  body  of  Jesus,  and  wound  It 
in  linen  clothes  with  the  spices,  as

Acts  ix,  36,  37.  Now  there  was  at 
Joppa  a  certain  disciple  named 
Tabitha.  which,  by  interpretation, 
is  called  Dorcas:  this  woman  was 
full  of  good  works  and  alms-deeds 
which  she  did.  And  it  came  to 
pass  in  those  days,  that  she  was 
sick,  and  died:  whom  when  they 
had  washed,  they  laid  her  in  an 
upper  chamber. 

SOMETIMES  EMBALMED. 

Gen.  1,  1-3,  26.  And  Joseph 
fell  upon  his  father's  face,  and 
wept  upon  him,  and  kissed  him. 
And  Joseph  commanded  his  ser- 
vants the  physicians  to  embalm 
175 


hfgr  father:  and  the  physicians 
embalmed  Israel.  And  iorty 
days  were  fulfilled  for  him; 
(for  so  are  fullill'^d  the  days 
of  those  whicfi  are  embalmed;) 
and  the  Egyptians  mourned  for 
him  threescore  and  ten  <Urys.  So 
Joseph  died,  being  an  hundred 
and  ten  years  old:  and  they  em- 
balmed him,  and  he  was  put  jn  a 
coflin  in  Egypt.

Gen.  1, 10, 11.  And  they  came  to 
the  threshingfloor  of  Atad,  which 
is  beyond  -lordan,  and  there  they 
mourned  with  a  great  and  very 
sore  lamentation:  and  he  made  a 
mourning  for  his  father  seven 
days.  And  when  the  inhabitants 
of  the  land,  the  Canaanites,  saw 
the  mourning  in  the  floor  of  Atad, 
they  said.  This  is  a  grievous 
mourning  to  the  Egyptians:  where- 
fore the  name  of  it  was  called 
Abel-mizraim,  which  is  beyond 
Jordan. 

Num.  XX,  29.  And  when  all  the

Israel. 

Deut.  xxxiv,  8.  And  the  children 
of  Israel  wept  for  Moses  in  the

days  of  Aveeping  and  mourning 
for  Moses  were  ended. 

2  Sam.  i,  12.  And  they  mourned 
and  wept,  and  fasted  until  even, 
for  Saul,  and  for  Jonathan  his  son, 
and  for  the  people  of  the  Lord,

cause they  were  fallen  by  the 
sword. 

2  Sam,  iii,  31-34.  And  David  said 
to  Joab,  and  to  all  the  people  that 
were  with  him,  Rend  your  clothes, 
and  gird  you  with  sackcloth,  and 
mourn  before  Abner.  And  king 
David  himself  followed  the  bier. 
And  they  buried  Abner  in  He- 
bron: and  the  king  lifted  up  his 
voice,  and,  wept  at  the  grave  of 
Abner;  and  all  the  people  wept. 
And  the  king  lamented  over  Ab- 
ner, and  said,  Died  Abner  as  a 
fool  dieth?  Thy  hands  were  not 
bound,  nor  thy  feet  put  into  fet- 
ters; as  a  man  falleth  before 
wicked  men,  so  fellest  thou.  And 
all  the  people  wept  again  over 
him. 

2  Sam.  xiv,  2.  And  Joab  sent  to 
Tekoah,  and  fetched  thence  a  wise 
woman,  and  said  unto  her,  I  pray 
thee,  feign  thyself  to  be  a  mourner, 
and  put  on  now  mourning  apparel, 
and  anoint  not  thyself  with  oil, 
but  be  as  a  woman  that  had  a  long 
time  mourned  lor  the  dead. 


DISEASE  AND  DEATH. 


2  Sam  xx!,  10.  And  Rizpah,  the 
daughter  of  A.iah  took  sackcloth, 
and  spread  it  for  her  upon  the 
rock,  from  the  Ijeginning  of  har- 
vest until  water  dropped  upon 
them  out  of  heaven,  and  sutTered 
neither  the  hirds  of  the  air  to  rest 
ou  tliem  by  day,  nor  the  beasts  of 
the  field  by  night. 

1  Kinga  xiil,  29.  And  the  pro 
phet  took  up  the  carcase  of  the 
man  of  God,  and  laid  it  upon  the 
ass,  and  brought  it  hack:  and  the

mourn,  and  to  bury  him. 

Eccles.  xii,  5 Because 

man  goetli  to  his  long  home,  and 
the  mourners  go  about  the  streets. 

Jer.  xxxi,  15,  Thus  saith  the 
LoRo,  A  voice  was  heard  in 
Ramah,  lamentation,  and  hitter 
weeping;  Rachel  weeping  for  her 
ciiildren,  refused  to  be  comforted 
for  her  children,  because  they  v^ere 
not. 

Hosea.  ix,  4.  They  shall  not  offer 
Vf\ns-('fferings  to  the  Lord,  neither 
shall  they  be  pleasing  unto  him: 
their  sacrifices  shall  be  unto  them 
as  tlie  brt'ud  of  mourners:  all  that 
e'>test  thereof  shall  be  polluted:  for 
their  bread  for  their  soul  shall  not 
come  into  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

Matt,  ii,  18.  In  Rama  was  there 
a  voice  heard,  lamentation,  and 
weeping,  and  great  mourning, 
Rachael  weeping /or  her  children, 
and  would  not  be  comforted,  be- 
cause they  are  not. 

Jo'in  xi,  33.  WLen  Jesus  there- 
fore saw  her  weeping,  and  the 
Jews  also  weeping  which  came 
with  her  he  groaned  In  the  spirit 
and  was  troubled. 

Acts  viii.  2.  And  devout  men 
carried  Stephen  to  his  burial,  and

DEAD  SOMETIMES  UN- 
LAMENTED. 
Jer.  xvi,  3-5, 7.  For  thus  saith 
the  Loud  concerning  the  sons  and 
conceroin,'-  the  daughters  that  are 
born  in  this  place,  and  concerning 
their  motliprs  tliat  bare  them,  and 
concerning  tieir  fathers  that  begat 
them  In  this  1  ind;  They  shall  die 
of  grievous  deaths:  they  shall  not 
be  lamenteil,  neither  shall  they  be 
buried;  but  thoy  shall  be  as  dung 
upon  the  face  of  the  earth:  and 
they  shall  he  consumed  by  the 
sword,  and  by  famine;  and  their 
carcases  shall  be  meat  for  the 
fo.vi3  ot  heaven,  an  I  for  the  beasts 
of  the  earth.  For  thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Enter  not  inio  the  house  of 
mournng  neither  go  to  lament  nor 
bemoan  them:  for  I  have  taken 
away  my  peace  from  this  people, 
saith  the  Lord,  even  lovlng-kind- 

n  -8  and  m  icies Neither 

•uall   men   give   them   the   cup 


of  consolation  to  drink  for  their 
father  or  for  their  mother. 

Jer.  xxii,  10-12.  Weep  ye  not  for 
the  dead,  neither  bemoan  him; 
but  weep  sore  for  him  that  goeth 
away:  for  he  shall  return  no  more, 
nor  see  his  native  country.  For 
thus  saith  the  Lord,  touching 
Shallum  the  son  of  Josiah  king  of 
Judah,  which  reigned  instead  of 
Josiah  his  father,  which  went 
fortli  out  of  this  place,  He  shall 
not  return  thither  any  more;  But 
he  shall  die  in  the  place  whither 
they  have  led  him  captive,  and 
shall  see  this  land  no  more. 

Ezek.  xxiv,  21,  23.  Speak  unto 
the  house  of  Israel,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God,  Behold,  I  will  pro- 
fane my  sanctuary,  the  excellency 
of  your  strength,  the  desire  of 
your  eyes,  arid  that  which  your 
soul  pitieth;  and  your  sons  and 
your  daughters  whom  ye  liave 
left  shall  fall  by  the  sword.  And 
your  tires  shall  be  upon  your 
heads,  and  your  shoes  upon  your 
feet:  ye  shall  not  mourn  nor  weep; 
but  ye  shall  pine  away  for  your 
iniquities,  and  mourn  one  toward 
another. 


COMFORTERS. 
2  Sam.  X,  3.  And  the  princes  of 
the  children  of  Ammon  said  unto 
Hanun  their  lord,  Thinkest  thou 
that  David  doth  honour  thy  father, 
that  he  h  vth  sent  comforters  unto 
thee?  h  ith  not  David  rather  sent 
his  servants  unto  thee,  to  search 
the  city,  and  to  spy  it  out,  and  to 
overthrow  itf 

1  Qhron.  xix,  2,  3.  And  David 
said,  I  will  show  kindness  unto 
Hanun  the  son  of  Nahash,  because 
his  father  shewed  kindness  to  me. 
And  David  sent  messengers  to 
comfort  him  concerning  his  lather. 
So  the  servants  of  David  ca.me 
into  the  land  of  the  children  of 
Ammon  to  Hanun,  to  comfoit 
him.  But  the  princes  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Ammon  said  to  Hanun, 
Thinkest  thou  that  David  doth 
honour  thy  father,  that  he  hath 
sent  comforters  unto  thee?  are  not 
his  servants  come  unto  thee  for  to 
search,  and  to  overthrow,  and  to 
spy  out  the  land? 

Job  xxlx,  25.  I  chose  out  their 
waj',  and  sat  cliief,  and  dwelt  as  a 
king  in  the  army,  as  one  that  com- 
lurteth  the  mourners. 

John  xi,  10.  And  many  of  the 
Jews  came  to  Martha  and  Mary 
to  comfort  them  concerning  their 
brother. 

HIRED  MOURNERS. 

Jer.  Ix,  17, 19,  20.  Thus  saith  the 

Lord  of  hosts.  Consider  ye,  and 

call  for  the  mourning  women,  that 

they  may  come;  and  send  for  cuu- 

176 


ning  women,  that  they  may  come. 
For  a  voice  of  wailing  is  heard  out 
of  Zion,  How  are  we  spoiled!  we 
are  greatly  confounded,  because 
we  have  forsaken  the  land,  be- 
cause our  dwellings  have  cast  us 
out.  Yet  hear  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  O  ye  women,  and  let  your 
ear  receive  the  word  of  his 
mouth,  and  teach  your  daughters 
wailing,  and  every  one  her  neigh- 
bour lamentation. 

Amos  V,  16. 17.  Therefore  .... 
the  Lord,  saith  thus;  Wailing  shall 
be  in  all  streets;  and  they  shall 
say   in  all    the    highways,  Alas! 

alas! And  in  all  vineyards 

shall  be  wailing:  for  I  will  pass 
through  thee,  saith  the  Lord. 

3Iatt.  ix,  23.  And  when  Jesus 
came  into  the  ruler's  house,  and 
saw  the  minstrels  and  the  people 
making  a  noise. 

CERTAIN  MARKS  AND 

FORMS    OF    MOURNING 
FORBIDDEN. 

Lev.  xix,  28.  Ye  shall  not  make 
any  cuttings  in  your  flesh  for  the 
dead,  nor  print  any  marks  upon 
yeu:  I  am  the  Lord. 

Deut.  xxvi,  14.  I  have  not  eaten 
thereof  in  my  mourning,  neither 
have  I  taken  away  ought  thereof 
for  any  unclean  use,  nor  given 
ought  thereof  for  the  dead;  but  I 
have  hearkened  to  the  voice  of 
the  Lord  my  God,  and  have  done 
according  to  all  that  thou  hast 
commanded  me. 

Deut.  xiv,  1.  Ye  a^  the  children 
of  the  Lord  your  God:  ye  shall 
not  cut  yourselves,  nor  make  any 
baldness  between  your  eyes  for 
the  dead. 

NECROMANCY. 
1  Sam.  xxviii,  7,  8.  Then  said 
Saul  unto  his  servants.  Seek  me 
a  woman  that  hath  a  familiar 
spirit,  that  I  may  go  to  her,  and 
enquire  of  her.  And  his  servants 
said  to  him.  Behold,  there  is  a 
woman  that  hath  a  familiar  spirit 
at  En-dor.  And  Saul  disguised 
himself,  and  put  on  other  raiment, 
and  he  went,  and  two  men  with 
him,  and  they  came  to  the  woman 
by  night;  and  he  said,  I  pray  thee, 
divine  unto  me  by  the  familiar 
spirit,  and  bring  me  him  up  whom 
1  shall  name  unto  thee. 

CERTAIN  PERSONS  FORBID- 
DEN TO  MOURN. 
T^v.  xxl,  1-3.  10,11.  And  the 
Loui>  said  unto  Moses,  Speak  unto 
the  priests  the  sons  of  Aaron,  and 
say  unto  them.  There  shall  none 
be  defiled  for  the  dead  among  his 
people:  But  for  liis  kin  that  is 
near  unto  him,  that  is,  for  his 
mother,  and  !or  his  lather,  and  for 
his  Bou,  and  for  his  daughter,  and 


DISEASE  AND  DEATH. 


for  his  brother,  And  for  his  sister 
a  virgin,  tliat  is  nigh  unto  liim, 
which  hath  had  no  Imsband;  for 
her  may  he  be  detiied.  And  he 
that  is  the  high  priest  among  his 
brethren,  upon  whose  head  the 
anointing  oil  was  poured,  and  that 
is  consecrated  to  put  on  tlie  gar- 
ments, shall  not  uncover  his  head, 
nor  rend  his  clothes;  Neither  shall 
he  go  in  to  any  dead  body,  nor 
defile  himself  for  his  father,  or  for 
bis  mother. 

Num.  vi,  6.  7.  All  the  days  that 
he  separateth  himself  unto  the 
Lord  he  shall  come  at  no  dead 
body,  lie  shall  not  make  himself 
unclean  for  his  father,  or  for  his 
mother,  for  his  brother,  or  for  his 
sister,  when  they  die;  because  tlie 
consecration  of  his  God  is  upon 
his  head. 

Ezek.  xliv,  25.  And  they  shall 
come  at  no  dead  person  to  defile 
themselves:  but  for  father,  or  for 
mother,  or  for  son,  or  for  daugh- 
ter, for  brother,  or  for  sister  that 
hath  had  no  husband,  they  may 
defile  themselves. 

NON-BURIAL  A  DISGRACE, 
AND   SOMETIMES  A 
PUNISHMENT. 
Deut.  xxviii,  26.   And  thy  car- 
case shall  be  meat  unto  all  fowls 
of  the  air,  and  unto  the  beasts  of 
the  earth,  and  no  man  shall  fray 
them  away. 

1  Kings  xxi,  24.  Him  that  dieth 
of  Ahab  in  the  city  the  dogs  shall 
eat;  and  him  that  dieth  in  the  field 
shall  the  fowls  of  the  air  eat. 

2  Kings  ix,  10, 36,  37.  And  the 
dogs  sliall  eat  Jezebel  in  the  por- 
tion of  Jezreei,  and  there  shall  be 
none  to  bury  her.  And  he  opened 
the  door,  and  fled.  Wherefore 
they  came  again,  and  told  him: 
and  he  said.  This  is  the  word  of 
the  Lord,  which  he  spake  by  his 
servant  Elijah  the  Tishbite,  say- 
ing. In  the  portion  of  Jezreei 
shall  dogs  eat  the  flesh  of  Jezebel: 
And  the  carcase  of  Jezebel  shall 
be  as  dung  upon  the  face  of  the 
field  in  the  portion  of  Jezreei;  so 
that  they  shall  not  say.  This  is 
Jezebel. 

Ps.  Ixxix,  2,  3.  The  dead  bodies 
of  thy  servants  have  they  given 
to  be  meat  unto  the  fowls  of  the 
heaven,  tlie  flesh  of  thy  saints  unto 
the  beasts  of  the  earth.  Their 
blood  have  they  shed  like  water 
round  about  Jerusalem;  and  there 
was  none  to  bury  them. 

Isa.  xiv,  18-20.  All  the  kings  of 
the  natlcms,  even  all  of  them,  lie 
in  glory,  every  one  in  his  own 
house:  But  thou  art  cast  out  of  thy 
grave  like  an  abominable  hrancli, 
and  as  the  raiment  of  those  that 
are  slain,  thrust  through  with  a 
Bword,  that  go  down  to  the  stones 
of  the  pit;  as  a  carcase  trodden 


under  feet.  Thou  shalt  not  he 
joined  with  them  in  burial,  be- 
cause thou  hast  destroyed  thy 
land,  and  slain  thy  people:  the 
seed  of  evil-doers  shall  never  be 
renowned. 

Jer,  vii,  33.  And  the  carcases  of 
this  people  shall  be  meat  for  the 
fowls  of  the  heaven,  and  for  the 
beasts  of  the  earth;  and  none  shall 
fray  them  away. 

Jer.  xxxiv,  20.  I  will  even  give 
them  into  the  hand  of  their  ene- 
mies, and  into  the  hand  of  them 
that  seek  their  life;  and  their  dead 
bodies  shall  be  for  meat  unto  the 
fowls  of  the  heaven,  and  to  the 
beasts  of  the  earth. 

Kzek.  xxxix,  4.  Thou  shalt  fall 
upon  the  mountains  of  Israel, 
thou,  and  all  thy  bands,  and  the 
people  that  is  with  thee:  I  will 
give  thee  unto  the  ravenous  birds 
of  every  sort,  and  to  the  beasts  of 
the  field  to  be  devoured. 

Amos  viii,  3.  And  the  songs  of 
the  temple  shall  be  bowlings  in 
that  day,  saith  the  Lord  God:

every  place;  they  shall  cast  them 
forth  with  silence.

the  earth.

with  the  burial  of  an  ass,  drawn

be  filled  at  my  table  with  horses

Lord  God. 

Bev.  xi,  8,  9.  And  their  dead 
bodies  shall  lie  in  the  street  of  the 
great  city,  which  spiritually  is 
called  Sodom  and  Egypt,  where 
also  our  Lord  was  crucified.  And 
they  of  the  people,  and  kindreds, 
and  tongues,  and  nations,  shall 
see  their  dead  bodies  three  days 
and  an  half,  and  shall  not  suffer 
their  dead  bodies  to  be  put  in 
graves. 

DEAD  SOMETIMES  BURNED. 

1  Sam.  xxxi,  12.  All  the  valiant 
men  arose,  and  went  all  night,  and 
took  the  body  of  Saul  and  the 
bodies  of  bis  sons  from  the  wall  of 
Bethshan,  and  came  to  Jabesh, 
and  burnt  them  there. 

Amos  ii,  1.  Thus  saith  the  Lord; 
For  three  transgressions  of  Moab, 
and  for  four,  I  will  not  turn  away 
the  punishment  thereof;  because 
he  burned  the  bones  of  the  king 
of  Edom  into  lime. 

Amos  vi,  9, 10.  And  it  shall  come 

to  pass,  if  there  remain  ten  men

an  highway  for  the  remnant  of  his 
people,  wliich  shall  be  left,  from

Isa.  XXXV,  8.  And  an  highway 
shall  be  there,  and  a  way/and  it

Isa.  xliii,  19.  Behold,  I  will  do  a

ness, and  rivers  in  the  desert. 

Isa.  Ixil,  10.  Go  through,  go 
through  the  gates;  prepare  ye  the 
way  of  the  people;  cast  up,  cast  up 
the  highway;  gather  out  the 
stones;  lift  up  a  standard  for  the 
people. 

Jer.  xviii,  15.  Because  my  people 
hath  forgotten  me,  they  have 
burnt  incense  to  vanity,  and  they

their  ways  from  the  ancient  paths, 
to  walk  in  paths,  in  a  way  not  cast 
up. 

Jer.  xxxi,  21.  Set  thee  up  way-

even  the  way  which  thou  wentesi:

EARLY   SETTLEMENT 
OF  THE  VARIOUS  COUN- 
TRIES  OF  THE  EARTH. 
Gen.  X,  1-8, 10  32,  Now  these  are 

the  generations  of  the  sons  ol 
Noah,  Shem,  Ham,  and  Japheth: 
and  unto  them  were  sons  born 
after  the  flood.  The  sons  of 
Japheth;  Gomer,  and  Magosr,  and 
M  adai,  and  Javan.  and  Tubal,  and 
Mesliech,  and  Tiras.  And  the 
sons  of  Gomer,  Ashkenaz,  and 
Riphath,  and  Togarmah.  And  the 
sons  of  Javan;  Elishah,  and  Tar- 
shish,  Kittim,  and  Dodanim.  By 
these  were  the  isles  of  the  Gentiles 
divided  in  their  lands;  every  one 
after  his  tongue,  after  their 
families,  in  their  nations.  And 
the  sons  of  Ham:  Cush,  and  Miz- 
191 


ralm,  and  Phut,  and  Canaan.  And 

the  sons  of  Cus'i;  Seba,  and  Havi- 
lah,  and  Sabtali,  and  Raainah,  and 
Salitecha:  and  the  sons  of  Raamah; 
Slieb.i,  and  Dedan.  And  Cush 
beiicat  Nimrod:  he  began  to  be  a 
mighty  one  in  the  earth.  And 
the  beginning  of  his  kingdom  was 
Babel,  and  Krech,  an<l  Accad,  and 
Calneh,  in  the  land  of  Shinar. 
Out  of  that  land  Avent  forth 
Asshur,  and  builded  Nineveh,  and 
the  city  Rehoboth,  and  Calah, 
And  Resen  between  Nineveli  and 
Calah:  the  same  is  a  great  city. 
And  Mizraim  begat  Ludim,  and 
Anamim,  and  Lehabim,  and 
Naplituhim,  And  Pathrusim,  and 
Casluhim,  (out  of  whom  came 
Philistim,)  and  Caphtorim.  And 
Canaan  begat  Sidon  his  ttrst-born, 
and  lieth.  And  the  Jebusite,  and 
the  Amorite,  and  the  Girgasite, 
And  the  Ilivite,  and  the  Arkite, 
and  the  Sinite,  And  the  Arvadite, 
and  the  Zemarile  and  the  Hama- 
thite:  and  afterward  were  tlie 
families  of  the  Canaanites  spread 
abroad.  And  the  border  of  the 
Canaanites  was  from  Sidon,  as 
thou  comest  to  Gerar,  unto  Gaza; 
as  thou  goest  unto  Sodom,  and 
Gomorrah,  and  Admah,  and  Ze- 
boim,  even  unto  Lasha.  These 
are  the  sons  of  Ham,  after  their 
families,  after  their  tongues,  in 
their  countries,  and  in  their  na- 
tions. Unto  Shem  also,  tlie  father 
of  all  the  children  of  Eber,  the 
brother  of  Japheth  the  elder, 
even  to  him  were  children  born. 
The  children  of  Shem;  Elam,  and 
Asshur,  and  Arphaxad,  and  Lud, 
and  Aram.  And  the  children  of 
Aram;  Uz,  and  llnl.  and  Gether, 
and  Mash.  And  Arphaxad  begat 
Salah;  and  Salah  begat  Eber. 
And  unto  Eber  were  born  two 
sons:  the  name  of  one  was  Peleg; 
for  in  his  days  was  the  earth 
divided;  and  his  brother's  name 
teas  Joktan.  And  Joktan  begat 
Almodad,  and  Sheleph,  and 
Hazarmaveth,  and  Jerah,  And 
Hadoram,  and  Uzal,  and  Diklah, 
And  Obal,  and  Abimael.  and 
Sheba,  And  Ophir,  and  Ilavilah, 
and  Jobab:  all  these  were  the 
sons  of  Joktan.  And  their  dwell- 
ing was  from  Mesha,  as  thou  go- 
est unto  Sephar  a  mount  of  the 
east.  These  are  the  sons  of  Shem, 
after  their  families,  after  their 
tongues,  in  their  lands,  after  their 
nations.  These  are  the  families 
of  the  sons  of  Noah,  after  tlieir 
generations,  in  their  nations:  and 
by  these  were  (he  nations  divided 
in  the  earth  after  the  flood. 

DISPERSION  AT  BABEL. 

Gen.  xi,  1,  2,  4,  6-9.  And  the 
whole  earth  was  of  one  language, 
and  of  one  speech.  And  it  came 
to  pass,  as  they  journeyed  from 
the  east,  that  they  found  a  phJn 
in  the  land  ot  Shinar:  and  they

dwelt  there.  And  they  said,  Go 
to,  let  us  build  us  a  city  and  a 
tower,  whose  top  may  reach  unto 
heaven;  and  let  us  inalce  us  a 
name,  leat  we  be  scattered  abroad 
upon  the  face  of  the  whole  earth. 
And  the  Lord  said,  Behold,  the 
people  is  one,  and  they  have  all 
one  language;  and  this  they  begin 
to  do:  and  now  nothing  will  be 
restrained  from  them,  which  they 
have  imagined  to  do.  Go  to,  let 
us  go  down,  and  there  confound 
their  language,  that  they  may  not 
understand  one  another's  speech. 
So  the  LoKD  scattered  them  abroad 
from  thence  upon  the  face  of  all 
the  earth:  and  they  left  off  to 
build  the  city.  Therefore  is  the 
name  of  it  called  Babel;  because 
the  Lord  did  there  confound  the 
language  of  all  the  earth:  and  from 
thence  did  the  Lord  scatter  them 
abroad  upon  the  face  of  all  the 
earth.

ites  came  down,  and  the  Canaan- 
Ites  which  dwelt  in  that  hill,  and 
smote  them,  and  discomfited  them. 
even  unto  Ilormah. 

Num.  xxiv,  20.  And  when  he 
looked  on  Amalek,  he  took  up  his 
parable,  and  said,  Amalek  loas  the 
first  of  the  nations,  but  his  latter 
end  shall  be,  that  he  perish  for 
ever. 

Devt.  XXV,  17,  19.  Remember 
what  Amalek  did  unto  thee  by 
the  way,  wln^n  ye  were  come 
forth  out  of  Egypt.  Therefore  it 
shall  be,  wlien  the  Lord  thy  God 
hath  given  thee  rest  from  all  thine 
enemies  round  about.  In  the  land 
which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth 
thee  for  an  inheritance  to  possess 
It,  that  thou  shult  blot  out  the  re- 
membrance of  Amalek  from  under 
heaven;  thou  shalt  not  forget  it.

dwell  together;  and  the  land

their  cattle.  Thus  dwelt  Esau

waste;  and  they  shall  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord:    because  he   hath

solate, from  the  tower  of  Syene

No  foot  of  man  shall  pass  through 
It    nor  foot  of   beast  shall  pass

be  the  basest  of  the  kingdoms;

multitude  of  Egypt  to  cease  by 
the  hand  of  Nebuchadrezzar  king 
of  Babylon.    And  I  will  make  the 
rivers  dry,  and  sell  the  land  into

make  the  land  waste,  and  all  that 
is  therein,  by  the  hand  of  strang-

cause  their  images  to  cease  out  of 
Noph;  and  there  shall  be  no  more 
a  prince  of  the  land  of  Egypt:  and

Egypt.    And  I  will  make  Pathros 
desolate,  and  will  set  fire  in  Zoan, 
and  will  execute  judgments  in  No. 
And  I  will  pour  my  fury  upon  Sin, 
the  strength  of  Egypt;  and  I  will 
cut  off  the  multitude  of  No.    And 
I  will  set  fire  in  Egypt:  Sin  shall 
have  great  pain,  and  No  shall  l>e 
rent  asunder,  and  Noph  shall  have 
distresses  daily.    Tiie  young  men 
of  Aven  and   of  Pliibeseth  sliall 
fall  by  the  sword:  and  these  cities 
shall  go  into  captivity.    At  Teha- 
phnehes    also  the    day  shall    be 
darkened,    when    I    shall   break 
there  the  yokes  of  Egypt;  and  the 
pomp  of  her  strength  shall  cease 
in  her:  as  for  her.  a  cloud  shall 
cover  her,  and  her  daughters  shall 
go  into  captivity.     Thus  will    I 
e-Kecute  judgments  in  Egypt;  and 
they  shall  know  that  1  am  the 
Lord.    And    I    will    scatter   the 
Egyptians  among  the  nations,  and 
will  disperse  them  through    the 
countries.    And  I  will  scatter  the 
Egyptians  among  the  nations,  and 
disperse  them  among   the  coun- 
tries; and  they  shall  know  that  I

Ezek.  XXX,    4-10,   12-19,  23,  26. 
And  the  sword  shall  come  upon 
Egypt,  and  great  pain  shall  be  in 
Ethiopia,  when  the  slain  shall  fall 
in    Egypt,  and    they    shall    take 
away    her    multitude,    and    her 
foundations  shall  be  broken  down. 
Ethiopia,  and  Libya,  and  Lydia, 
and  all  the  mingled  people,  and 
Chub,  and  the  men  of  the  land

Egypt  shall  fall;  and  the  pride  of 
her  power  shall  come  down:  from 
the  tower  of  Syene  shall  they  fall 
in  it  by  the  sword,  saith  the  Lord 
God.    And  tliey  shall  be  desolate

that  I  am  the  Lord,  when  1  have 
set  a  fire  in  Egypt,  and  xohen  all 
her   helpers  shall   be   destroyed. 
In  that  day  shall  messengers  go 
forth  from  me  in  ships,  to  make 
the    careless     Ethiopians    afraid, 
and  great  pain  shall  come  upon

of  the  mighty  will  I  cause  thy 
multitude  to  fall,  the  terrible  of 
the  nations,  all  of  them;  and  they 
shall  spoil  the  pomp  of  Egypt, 
and  all  the  multitude  thereof  sliall 
be  destroyed.  Pharaoh  shall  see 
them  and  shall  be  comforted  over 
all  his  multitude,  even  Pharaoh 
and  all  his  army  slain  by  the 
sword,  saith  the  Lord  God.  For 
I  have  caused  my  terror  in  the 
land  of  the  living:  and  he  shall  be 
laid  in  the  midst  of  the  uncircnm- 
cised  with  them  thai  are  slain  with 
the  sword,  even  Pharaoh  and  all 
his  multitude,  saith  the  Lord 
God.

wise shall  the  ladies  of  Persia  and 
Media  say  this  day  unto  all  the 
king's  princes,  which  have  heard

king,  let  there  go  a  royal  com- 
mandment from  him,  and  let  it  be 
written  among  the  laws  of  tlie 
Persians  and  the  Medes,  that  it 
be  not  altered.  That  Vashti  come

bring  thee  against  my  land,  that 
the  heathen  may  know  me,  when 
I  shall  be  sanctified  in  thee,  O

both  to  tlie  Greeks  and  to  the 
Biirbarians,  both  to  the  wise  and 
to  the  unwise.  For  I  am  not 
ashamed  of  the  gospel  of  Clirist: 
for  it  is  the  power  of  God  unto 
salvation  to  every  one  that  be- 
lie vetli;  to  the  Jew  first,  and  also 
to  the  Greek. 

Rom.  X,  12.  For  there  Is  no 
difference  between  the  Jew  and 
the  Greek:  for  the  same  Lord  over 
all  is  rich  unto  all  that  call  upon 
him.

appeared  to  Paul  in  the  nigrht: 
There  stood  a  man  of  Macedonia, 
and  prayed  him,  saying.  Come 
over  into  Macedonia,  and  help  us. 
And  after  he  liad  seen  the  vision, 
immediately  we  endeavoured  to 
go  into  Macedonia,  assuredly 
gathering  that  the  Lord  had 
called  us  for  to  preach  the  gospd 
unto  them. 

Acts  xviii,  5.  And  when  Silas 
and  Tlmotheus  were  come  from

Jews  that  Jesus  icas  Clirist.

wvre  ended,  Paul  purposed  in  the

to  go  to  Jerusalem,  saying,  Af,er 
I  hive  been  there,  I  must  also 
see  Rome. 

2  Cor.  vii,  5.  For,  Avhen  we  were 
come  into  Macedonia,  our  flesh 
had  no  rest,  but  we  were  troubled 
on  every  side:  without  were  fight- 
ings, within  were  fears. 

2  Gor.  viii,  1.  Moreover,  breth- 
ren, we  do  you  to  wit  of  the  grace 
uf  God  bestowed  on  the  churches 
of  Mace^nia. 

1  TJiess.  i,  7,  8.  So  that  ye  were 
ensamples  to  all  that  believe  in 
Macedonia  and  Acliaia.  For 
from  you  sounded  out  the  word  of 
the  Lord  not  only  in  Macedonia 
and  Achaia,  but  also  in  every 
place  your  faith  to  God-ward  is 
spread  abroad;  so  that  we  need 
not  to  speak  any  thing. 

I  Thess.  iv,  10.  And  indeed  ye 
do  it  toward  all  the  brethren 
which  are  in  all  Macedonia;  but 
we  beseech  you,  brethren,  that 
ye  increase  more  and  more. 

Chief  Cities,  Athens. 
Acts  xvii,  15,  16.  And  they  that 
conducted  Paul  brought  him  unto 
Athens:  and,  receiving  a  command- 


ment unto  Silas  and  Timothens 
f(jr  to  come  to  him  with  all  speed, 
they  departed.  Now,  while  Paul 
waited  for  them  at  Athens,  his 
spirit  was  stirred  in  him,  Avhen  he 
saw  the  city  wholly  given  to 
idolatry. 

Acts  xviii,  1.  After  these  things 
Paul  departed  from  Athens,  and 
came  to  Corinth. 

1  Thess.  iii,  1.  "Wherefore,  wlien 
we  could  no  longer  forbear,  we 
thought  it  good  to  be  left  at 
Athens  alone. 

COEIXTH.

chief  ruler  of  the  synagogue,  be- 
lieved on  the  Lord  with  all  his

thians hearing  believed,  and  were 
baptized. 

Acts  xIx,  1,  And  it  came  to  pass, 
that,  while  Apollos  was  at 
Corinth,  Paul,  having  passed 
through  the  upper  coasts,  came  to 
Ephosus;  and,  fiudingi  certain 
disciples. 

2  Cor.  i,  1,  23.  Paul,  an  apostle 
of  Jesus  Christ  by  the  will  of  God, 
and  Timothy  our  brother,  unto 
the  cliurch  of  God  which  is  at 
Corinth,  with  all  the  saints  which 
are  in  all  Achaia:  Moreover,  I 
call  God  for  a  record  upon  my 
soul,  that  to  spare  you  L  came  not 
as  yet  unto  Corinth. 

Philippi. 
Acts  xvi,  12.  And  from  thence 
to  Philippi,  which  is  the  chief  city 
of  that  part  of  Macedonia,  and  a 
colony:  and  we  were  in  that  city 
abiding  certain  days. 

Acts  XX,  6.  And  we  sailed  away 
from  Philippi  after  the  days  of 
unleavened  bread,  and  came  unto 
them  to  Troas  in  five  days;  where 
we  abode  seven  days. 

1  Thess.  ii,  2.  But  even  after 
that  we  had  suffered  before,  and 
were  shamefully  entreated,  as  ye 
know,  at  Philippi,  we  were  bold 
in  our  God  to  speak  unto  you  the 
gospel  of  God  with  much  conten- 
tiou.

that  Claudius  had  commanded  all 
Jews  to  depart  from  liome,)  and 
came  unto  them.

you.

Acts  xix,  21 Paul  pur- 
posed in  the  spirit,  when  he  had 
passed  through  Macedonia  and 
Achaia,  to  go  to  Jerusalem,  say- 
ing, After  I  have  been  there,  I 
must  also  see  Rome. 

Bom.  i.  15.  So,  as  much  as  in  me 
is,  I  am  ready  to  preach  the  gos- 
pel to  you  that  are  at  Rome  also.

in  Rome,  he  sought  me  out  very 
diligently,  and  found  ma.

will  go  up:  1  am  as  thou  art,  my 
people  as  thy  people,  and  my 
horses  as  thy  liorses.  And  this  is

heard  of  tlie  pride  of  Moab,  (he  is 
very  proud,)  even  of  his  haughti- 
ness, and  his  pride,  and  his  Avrath: 
but  his  lies  shall  not  he  so.  Where- 
fore my  bowels  shall  sound  like  an 
harp  for  Moab,  and  mine  inward 
parts  for  Kir-haresh.  And  it  shall 
come  to  pass,  when  it  Is  s&en  that 
Moab  is  weary  on  the  high  place, 
that  he  shall  come  to  his  sanctuary 
to  pray;  but  he  shall  not  prevail. 
Tiiibts  the  word  that  the  Lord 
hath  spoken  concerning  Mc'ab 
since  that  time,  liut  now  the 
Lord  hath  spoken,  saying,  Within 
three  years,  as  the  years  of  an 
hireling,  and  the  glory  of  .Moab 
shall  be  contemned.  wilJi  all  that 
great  multitude;  and  tlie  n  innant

Jer.  xlviii,  1,  2.  Against  Moab 
thus  saith  the  Lord  ol  hosts,  the 
God  of  Israel,  Woe  unto  Nebo!  for 
it  is  spoiled:  Kiriathaim  is  con- 
founded and  taken;    Miegab   is 


EARTH, 


confounded  and  dismayed.  TTiere 
shall  be  no  more  praise  of  Moab: 
In  Ileslibon  they  have  devised  evil 
against  it;  come,  and  let  us  cut  it 
off  from  beiu'j  a  nation:  also  thou 
Shalt  be  cut  down,  O  Madmen;  the 
sword  shall  pursue  thee. 

Jer.  xlviii.  9  20,  33,  39.  Give 
wings  unto  Moab,  that  it  may  flee 
and  get  away:  for- the  cities  there- 
of shall  be  desolate,  without  any 
to  dwell  therein.  Moab  is  con- 
founded; for  it  is  broken  down: 
howl  and  cry;  tell  ye  it  in  Arnon, 
that  Moab  is  spoiled.  And  joy 
and  gladness  is  taken  from  the 
plentiful  field,  and  from  the  land 
of  Moab;  and  I  have  caused  wine 
to  fail  from  the  wine-presses:  none 
shall  tread  with  shouting;  their 
shouting  shall  be  no  shouting. 
They  shall  howl,  saying,  How  is 
it  broken  down!  how  hath  Moab 
turned  the  back  with  shame!  so 
shall  Moab  be  a  derision  and  a 
dismaying  to  all  them  about  him. 

Ezek.  XXV,  8.  9,  11.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God,  Because  that  Moab 
and  Seir  do  say,  Behold,  the  house 
of  Judah  is  like  unto  all  the  hea- 
then; Therefore,  behold,  I  will 
open  the  side  of  Moab  from  the 
cities,  from  his  cities  which  are 
on  his  frontiers,  the  glory  ot  the 
country,  Beth-jeahimoth,  Baal- 
meon,  and  Kiriutbaim.  And  I  will 
execute  judgments  upon  Moab; 
and  they  shall  know  that  I  am 
the  Lord. 

Zeph.  a,  9.  Therefore  as  I  live, 
saith  tlie  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God 
of  Israel,  Surely  Moab  sliall  be  as 
Sodom,  and  the  ciiildren  of  Am- 
mon  as  Gomorrah,  even  the  breed- 
ing of  nettles,  and  salt-pits,  and  a 
perpetual  desolation:  the  residue 
of  my  people  shall  spoil  them,  and 
the  remnant  of  my  people  shall 
possess  them.

daughters  of  Canaan:  And  that

and  Arpad;  for  they  have  heard 
evil  tidings;  they  are  faint-hearted: 
there  is  sorrow  on  the  sea:  it  can- 
not be  quiet.  Damascus  is  waxed

bitant from  the  plain  of  Aven,  and

thou  gathered  thy  company  to 
take  a  prey?  to  carry  away  silver 
and  gold,  to  take  away  cattle  and 
goods,  to  take  a  great  i-poil?

to  flee  unto  Tarshisli  from  the 
presence  of  the  Lord,  and  went

the  tare  thereof,  and  went 
down  into  it,  to  go  with  them  un- 
to Tarshish  from  the  presence  of 
the  Lord. 

Jonah  iv,  2.  And  he  prayed  un- 
to the  Lord,  and  said,  I  pray  thee, 
O  Lord,  was  not  this  my  saying 
when  I  was  yet  in  my  country  ? 
therefore  I  fled  before  unto  Tar- 
shish

Tsa.  xxiii.  5,  8, 15, 17.  As  at  the 
report  concernintr  ligypt,  so  shall 
they  be  sorely  i)ained  at  the  re- 
port of  Tyre.  Who  hath  taken 
this  counsel  against  Tyre  the 
crowning  citf/,  whose  merchants 
are  princes,  whose  traffickers  are 
the  honourable  of  the  earth?  And 
it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day, 
that  Tyre  shall  be  forgotten 
seventy  years,  according  to  the 
days  of  one  king:  after  the  end  of 
Seventy  years  shall  Tyre  sing  as 
an  harlot.  And  it  shall  come  to 
pass,  after  the  end  of  seventy 
years,  that  the  Lord  will  visit 
Tyre,  and  she  shall  turn  to  her 
hire,  and  shall  commit  fornication

Tyrus 

Ezek.  xxvl,  2,  3.  Son  of  n^an, 
because  that  Tyrus  hath  said 
agiinst  Jerusalem,  Aha,  she  is 
broken  that  was  the  gates  of  the 
people;  she  is  turned  unto  me:  I 
sliuU  be  replenished,  now  she  is 
laid  waste:  Therefore  thus  sailh 
the  Lord  God,  Behold,  I  am 
agiinst  thee,  O  Tyrus,  and  will 
cause  many  nations  to  come  up 
against  thee,  as  the  sea  causeth 
his  waves  to  come  up. 

Ezeli.  xxvii,  2,  32.  Now,  thou  son 
of  man,  take  up  a  lamentation  for 
Tyrus.  And  in  their  wailing  they 
shall  take  up  a  lamentation  for 
thee,  and  lament  over  thee,  say- 
ing, "What  City  is  like  Tyrus,  like 
the  destroyed  in  the  midst  of  the 
sea? 

Ezek.  xxvili,  2, 12.  Son  of  man, 
say  unto  the  prince  of  Tyrns, 
Thus  f-aith  the  Lord  God,  Because 
thine  heart  is  lifted  up,  and  thou 
^^st  said,  I  avi  a  god,  I  sit  in  the 
seat  of  God,  in  the  midst  of  the 
seas;  yet  thou  art  a  man,  and  not 
God,  though  thou  set  thine  heart 
as  the  heart  of  God:  Son  of  man, 
Take  up  a  lamentation  upon  the 
king  of  Tyrus,  and  say  unto  him, 
Tlius  snith  the  Lord  God,  Thou 
soalt  St  up  the  sum,  fall  of  wisdom, 
and  perfect  in  beauty. 

Ezek.  xxix,  18.  Son  of  man, 
Nebuchadrezzar  king  of  Babylon 
caused  his  army  to  serve  a  great 
service  against  Tyrus:  every  head 
tfosmade  bald,  and  every  shoul- 
der was  peelud;  yet  had  he  no 
wages,  nor  his  army,  for  Tyrus, 
for  the  service  that  he  had  served 
against  it. 

Ilosea  ix,  13.  Ephralm,  as  I  saw 
T^rus,  i8  planted  in  a  pleasant 


place:  but  Ephraim  shall  bring 
forth  his  children  to  the  murderer.

Lord,  for  three  transgressions  of 
Tyrus,  and  lor  four,  I  will  not 
turn  away  the  punishment  thereof; 
because  they  delivered  up  the 
whole  captivity  to  Edom,  and 
remembered  not  the  brotherly 
covenant:  But  I  will  send  a  fire 
on  tlie  wall  of  Tyrus,  which  shall 
devour  the  palaces  thereof. 

Zech.  ix,  2,  3.  And  Hamath  also 
shall  border  thereby;  Tyrus,  and 
Zidon,  though  it  be  very  wise. 
And  Tyrus  did  build  herself  a 
strong  hold,  and  heaped  up  silver 
as  the  (lust,  and  flue  gold  as  the 
mire  of  the  streets. 

Ilatth.  xi,  21.  Woe  unto  thee, 
Chorazin!  woe  unto  thee,  Beth- 
saida!  for  if  the  mighty  works, 
which  Avere  done  in  you,  had  been 
done  in  Tyre  and  Sidon,  th?y 
would  have  repented  long  ago  in 
sackcloth  and  ashes. 

Acts  xii,  20.  And  Herod  was 
highly  displeased  with  them  of 
Tyre  and  Sidon:  but  they  came 
with  one  accord  to  him,  and,  hav- 
ing made  Blastus  the  king's  cham- 
berlain their  friend,  desired  peace; 
because  their  country  was  nour- 
ished by  the  king's  country. 

ZIDON. 
Gen.  xlix,  13.  Zebulun  shall 
dwell  at  the  haven  of  the  sea;  and 
he  shall  be  for  an  haven  of  ships: 
and  his  border  shall  be  unto 
Zidon. 

Joshua  xi,  8.  And  the  Lord  de- 
livered them  into  the  hand  of 
Israel,  who  smote  them,  and 
chased  them  unto  great  Zidon, 
and  unto  Misrephoth-maim,  and 
unto  the  valley  of  Mizpeh  east- 
ward; and  they  smote  them,  until 
they  left  them  none  remaining. 

1  Kings  xvii,  9.  Arise,  get  thee 
to  Zarephath,  which  belongeth  to 
Zidon,  and  dwell  there:  beliold,  I 
have  commanded  a  widow  woman 
there  to  sustain  thee. 

Isa.  xxiii,  2,  4,  12.  Be  still,  ye 
inhabitants  of  the  isle;  thou  whom 
the  merchants  of  Zidon,  that  pass 
over  the  sea,  have  replenished. 
Be  thou  ashamed,  O  Zidon;  for  the 
sea  hath  spoken,  even  the  strength 
of  the  sea,  saying,  I  travail  not, 
nor  bring  forth  children,  neither 
do  I  nourish  up  young  men,  nor 
bring  up  virgins.  And  he  said. 
Thou  slialt  no  more  rejoice,  O  thou 
oppressed  virgin,  daughter  of 
Zid'on:  arise,  pass  over  to  Chittim; 
there  also  Shalt  thou  have  no 
rest. 

Jer.  xlvil,  4.  Because  of  the  day 
that  Cometh  to  spoil  uU  the  Piiilis- 
tines,  and  to  cut  off  from  Tyrus 
204 


and  Zidon  every  helper  that  re- 
miuneth;  for  the  Lord  will  spoil 
the  Philistines,  the  remnant  of  the 
country  of  Caphtor. 

Ezek.  xxvili,  21,  22.  Son  of  mnn, 
set  thy  face  against  Zidon,  and 
prophesy  against  it,  And  say, 
thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Behull, 
I  a?/i  against  thee,  O  Zidon;  and  I 
will  be  glorified  in  the  midst  of 
thee:  and  they  shall  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord,  when  I  shall  have 
executed  judgments  in  her,  and 
shall  be  sanctified  in  her.

pure  minds  by  way  of  remem- 
brance: That  ye  may  be  mindful 
of  the  words  which  were  spoken 
before  by  the  holy  prophets,  and 
of  the  commandment  of  us  the 
apostles  ot  the  Lord  and  Savioun 
Knowing  this  first,  tliat  there 
shall  come  in  the  last  days  scoffers, 
walking  after  their  own  lasts, 
And  saying.  Where  is  the  promise 
of  his  coming?  for  since  the  fathers 
fell  asleep,  all  things  continue  as 
they  tvere  from  the  beginning  of 
the  creation.  For  this  they  will- 
ingly are  ignorant  of,  that  by  the 
word  of  God  the  heavens  were  of 
old,  and  the  earth  standing  out  of 
the  water,  and  in  the  water: 
Whereby  the  world  that  then  was, 
being  overflowed  with  water, 
perished:  But  the  heavens  and 
the  earth  which  are  now,  by  the 
same  word  are  kept  in  store,  re- 
served unto  fire  against  the  day 
of  judgment  and  perdition  of  un- 
godly men.  But,  beloved,  be  not 
ignorant  of  tlds  one  thing,  that  one 
day  is  with  the  Lord  as  a  thousand 
years,  and  a  thousand  years  as 
one  day.  The  Lord  is  not  slack 
concerning  his  promise,  as  some 
men  count  slackness;  but  is  long- 
sulTering  to  us-ward,  not  willing 
that  any  should  perish,  but  that 
all  should  come  to  repentance. 
But  the  day  of  the  Lord  will  come 
as  a  thief  in  the  night;  in  the 
which  the  heavens  shall  pass 
away  with  a  great  noise,  and  the 
elements  shall  melt  with  fervent 
heat,  the  earth  also,  and  the  works 
that  are  therein,  shall  be  burnt 
up.  Seeing  then  that  all  these 
things  shall  be  dissolveil,  what 
manner  of  persons  ought  ye  to  be 
in  all  holy  conversation  and  god- 
liness; Looking  for  and  hasting 
unto  the  comirg  of  the  day  of 
God,  wherein  the  heavens,  being 
(m  fire,  shall  be  dissolved,  and  the 
elements  shall  melt  with  fervent 
heat?  Nevertheless  we,  according 
to  his  promise,  look  for  new 
heavens  and  a  new  earth,  wherein 
dwelietb  righteousness.

be  blessed  that  feareth  the  Lord.

sidue of  the  Si)irit.  And  where- 
fore one?  Tliat  he  might  seek  a

to  your  spirit,  and  let  none  deal 
ti  eacherously  against  the  wife  of 
his  youth.

tlie  Lord,  and  he  said,  Who  am  I, 
()  Lord  God?  and  what  is  my 
house,  that  thou  hast  brought  me 
hitherto?  And  this  was  yet  a 
snail  thing  in  thy  sight,  O  Lord 
God;  but  thou  hast  spoken  also  of 
thy  servant's  house  for  a  great 
wliile  to  come:  and  is  this  the 
manner  of  man,  O  Lord  God?  And 
what  can  Do-vid  say  more  unto 
tliee?  tor  thou,  Lord  Goo,  knowest 
tliy  servant.  For  thy  word's  sake, 
and  according  to  thine  own  heart, 
hist  tJiou  done  all  tliese  great 
tilings,  to  make  tliy  servant  know 
t'leni.  And  now,  (>  Lord  God,  the 
word  that  thou  hast  spoken  con- 
cerning thy  servant,  and  concern- 
ing his  hoise,  establish  it  for  ever, 
uud  do  as  thou^  hast  said.    And 


!et  thy  name  be  magnified  for 
ever,  saying.  The  Lord  of  hosts 
is  the  God  over  Israel:  and  let 
the  house  of  thy  servant  David 
be  established  before  thee.  For 
thou,  O  Lord  of  hosts,  God  of 
Israel,  hast  revealed  to  thy  ser- 
vant, saying.  I  will  build  thee  an 
house;  therefore  hath  thy  servant 
found  in  his  heart  to  pray  this 
prayer  unto  thee.  And  now,  O 
Lord  God.  thou  art  that  God,  and 
thy  words  be  true,  and  thou  hast 
promised  this  goodness  unto  thy 
servant:  Ttierefore  now  let  it 
please  thee  to  bless  the  house  of 
thy  servant,  that  it  may  continue 
for  ever  before  thee:  for  thou,  O 
Lord  God,  hast  spoken  it;  and

my  sight  to  sit  on  the  throne  of 
Israel;  so  that  thy  children  take 
heed  to  their  way,  that  they  walk 
before  me,  as  thou  hast  walked 
before  me.  And  now,  O  God  of 
Israel,  let  thy  word,  I  pray  thee, 
be  verified,  which  thou  spakest 
unto  thy  servant  David  my 
father. 

1  Qhron.  xvii,  17-19,  23-27.  And 
yet  this  was  a  small  tiling  in  thine 
eyes,  O  God;  for  thou  hast  also 
spoken  of  thy  servant's  house  for  a 
great  while  to  come,  and  hast  re- 
garded me  according  to  the  estate 
of  a  man  of  higli  degree,  O  Lord 
God.  What  can  David  speak 
more  to  thee  for  the  honour  of 
thy  servant?  for  thou  knosvest  thy 
servant.  O  Lord,  lor  thy  servant's 
sake,  and  according  to  thine  own 
heart,  hast  thou  done  all  this 
gr.?atne8S,  in  making  known  all 
the^G  great  things.  Therefore 
now,  Lord,  let  tlie  thing  that  thou 
hast  spoken  concerning  thy  ser- 
vant, and  concerning  his  house, 
be  established  for  ever,  and  do  as 
thou  hast  said.  Let  it  even  be 
established,  that  thy  name  may 
be  magnified  for  ever,  saying,  The 
LoitD  of  hosts  is  the  God  of  Israel, 
even  a  God  to  Israel:  and  let  the 
liouse  of  David  thy  servant  be 
established  before  thee.  For 
thou,  O  my  God,  hast  told  thy 
servant  that  thou  wilt  build  him 
an  house:  thenilore  thy  servant 
hath  found  in  his  heart  to  pray  be- 
fore thee.  And  now.  Lord,  thou 
art  God,  and  hnst  promised  this 
205 


goodness  nnto  thy  servant:  Now 
therefore  let  it  please  thee  to  blesa 
the  house  of  thy  servant,  that  it

kindred,  and  I  will  deal  Avell  with 
thee:  I  am  not  worthy  of  the 
least  of  all  the  mercies,  and  of  all 
the  truth,  which  thou  hast  shewed 
unto  thy  servant;  for  with  my 
staff  I  passed  over  this  Jordan, 
and  now  I  am  become  two  bands. 
Deliver  me,  I  pray  thee,  from  the 
hand  of  my  brother,  from  the

see  their  fall.

unto  Abram,  My  wrong  be  upon 
thee:  I  have  given  my  maid  into 
thy  bosom;  and  when  she  saw  that 
she  had  conceived,  I  was  despised 
In  her  eyes:  the  Loud  judge  be- 
tween me  and  thee.

slialt  bear  a  pon,  and  sludt  call  his 
name  Ishniael;  because  the  Lord 
hath  heard  thy  aflliction.  And  he 
will  be  a  wild  man;  his  hand  will 
be  against  every  man,  and  every 
man's  hand  against  him:  and  he 
shall  dwell  in  the  presence  of  all 
his  brethren. 

Exod.  xxi,  22.  If  men  strive,  and

pass,  the  third  day  after  that  I  was 
delivered,  that  this  woman  was 
delivered  also:  and  we  v)ere  to- 
gether; there  teas  no  stranger 
with  us  in  the  house,  save  we  two 
in  the  house. 

2  Kings  xv,  16.  Then  Menahem 
smote  Tiphsah,  and  all  that  were

ALLUSIONS. 
{See  under  BODY.) 

2  Kings  xix,  3.  And  they  said 
unto  him.  Thus  saith  liezekiah, 
Tills  day  is  a  day  of  trouble,  and 
of  rebuke,  and  blasphemy:  for  the 
children  are  come  to  the  birth, 
and  there  is  not  strength  to  bring 
forth. 

Job  X,  9-11.  Remember,  I  be- 
seech thee,  that  thou  hast  made 


me  as  the  clay;  and  wilt  thon 
bring  me  into  dust  again?  lliist 
thou  not  poured  me  out  aa  milk, 
and  curdled  me  like  cheese?  Thou 
hast  clothed  me  with  skin  and 
flosh,  and  hast  fenced  me  with 
bones  and  sinews.

that  took  me  out  of  the  womb; 
thou  didst  maJce  me  hope  when  I

was  cast  upon  thee  from  the 
womb:  thou  art  my  God  from  my 
mother's  belly.

Ps.  cxxxix,  13-16.  For  thou  hast 
possessed  my  reins:  thou  bust 
covered  me  in  my  mother's  womb. 
I  will  praise  thee;  for  I  am  fear- 
fully and  wonderfully  made:  mar- 
vellous are  thy  works;  and  that 
my  soul  knoweth  right  well.  My 
substance  was  not  hid  from  thee, 
when  I  was  made  in  secret,  and 
curiously  wrought  in  the  lowest 
parts  of  the  earth.  Thine  eyes  did 
see  my  substance,  yet  being  un- 
perfect;  and  in  thy  book  all  mp 
members  were  written,  which  in 
continuance  were  fashioned,  when 
as  yd  there  was  none  of  them. 

Eccles.  xi,  5.  As  thou  knowest 
not  what  is  the  way  of  the  spirit, 
nor  how  the  bones  do  grow  in  the 
womb  of  her  that  is  with  child; 
even  so  thou  knowest  not  the 
works  of  God  who  maketh  all. 

Cant,  viii,  5.  (Who  is  this  that 
cometh  up  from  the  wilderness, 
leaning  upon  her  beloved?)  I 
raised  thee  up  under  the  apple- 
tree:  there  thy  mother  brought  tliee 
forth;  there  she  brought  thee  forth 
that  bare  thee. 

Isa.  xiii,  8.  And  they  shall  be 
afraid:  pangs  and  sorrows  shall 
take  hold  of  them;  they  shall  be  in 
pain  as  a  woman  that  travaileth: 
they  shall  be  amazed  one  at  an- 
other; their  faces  shall  be  as 
flames. 

Isa.  xxi,  3.  Therefore  are  my 
loins  filled  with  pain:  pangs  have

I  was  dismayed  at  tiie  seeing  of 
it.

time  of  her  delivery,  is  in  pain,  and 
crieth  out  in  her  pangs;  so  liave  we 
been  in  thy  sight,  O  Lord.  We 
have  been  with  clilld,  we  have 
been  in  pain,  we  have  as  it  were 
brought  forth  Avind;  we  have  not 
wrouglit  any  deliverence  in  the 
earth;  neither  have  the  inhabi- 
tants of  the  world  fallen. 

Isa.  xlii,  14.  I  have  long  time 
holden  my  peace;  I  have  been 
still,  and  refrained  myself:  noio 
will  I  cry  like  a  travailing  woman; 
I  will  destroy  and  devour  at  once. 

Isa.  Ixvi,  7-9.  Before  she  travail- 
ed, she  brought  forth;  before  her 
pain  came,  she  was  delivered  of  a 
man-child.  Who  hath  heard  such 
a  thing?  who  hath  seen  such  things? 
Shall  the  earth  be  made  to  bring 
forth  in  one  day?  or  shall  a  nation 
be  born  at  once?  for  as  soon  as 
Zion  travailed,  she  brought  forth 
her  children.  Shall  1  bring  to  the 
birth,  and  not  cause  to  bring  forth? 
saith  the  Lord:  shall  I  cause  to 
bring  forth,  and  shut  th&  wonihf 
saith  thy  God. 

Jer.  iv,  31.  For  I  have  heard  a 
voice  as  of  a  woman  in  travail, 
and  the  anguish  as  of  her  that 
bringeth  forth  her  first  child,  the 
voice  of  the  daughter  of  Zion,  that 
bewaileth  herself,  that  spreadeth 
her  hands,  saying,  Woe  is  me  now! 
for  my  soul  i3  wearied  because  of 
murderers. 

Jer.  vi,  24.  We  have  heard  the 
fame  thereof;  our  hands  wax  feeble: 
anguish  hath  taken  hold  of  us,  and 
pain,  as  of  a  woman  in  travail. 

Jer.  XXX,  6.  Ask  ye  now,  and  see 
whether  a  m;vn  doth  travail  with 
child?  whei'efore  do  I  see  every 
man  with  his  hands  on  his  loins,  as 
a  woman  in  travail,  and  all  faces 
arc  turned  into  paleness? 

Jer.  xlviii,  41.  Kerioth  is  taken, 
and  the  strong  holds  are  surprised, 
and  the  mighty  men's  hearts  in 
Moab  at  that  day  shall  be  as  the 
heart  of  a  woman  in  her  pangs. 

Jer.  \,  43.  The  king  of  Babylon 
haih  heard  the  report  of  them,  and 
his  hands  waxed  feeble:  anguish 
took  hold  of  him,  and  pangs,  as  of 
a  woman  in  travail. 

Ilos'ea  xlii,  16.  Samaria  shall  be- 
come desolate;  for  she  hath  rebell- 
ed against  her  God:  they  shall  fall 
by  the  sword;  their  infants  shall  be 
daslied  in  pieces,  and  their  women 
with  child  shall  be  ripped  up. 

Amos  i,  13.  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
For  three  transgressions  of  the 
children  of  Amnion,  and  for  four, 
1  will  not  turn  away  the  punish 
ment  thereol;  because  they  have 
ripped  up  the  women  with  child  of 
Gdead,  that  they  might  enlarge 
their  border. 

Micah  iv,  9, 10.  Now,  why  dost 
thou  cry  out  aloud?  is  there  no  king 


in  thee?  Is  thy  counsellor  perished? 
for  pangs  have  taken  tliee  as  a 
woman  in  travail.  Be  in  pain,  and 
labour  to  bring  forth,  0  daughter 
of  Zion,  like  a  woman  in  travail: 
for  now  Shalt  thou  go  forth  out  of 
the  city,  and  thou  shalt  dwell  in  tlie 
iieid,  and  thou  shalt  go  even  to 
Babylon;  there  shalt  thou  be  de- 
livered; there  the  Lord  shall  re- 
deem thee  from  the  hand  of  thine 
enemies. 

Mark,  xiii,  17.  But  woe  to  them 
that  are  with  child  and  to  them 
that  give  suck,  in  those  days! 

John  xvi,  21.  A  woman  when  she 
is  in  travail  hath  sorrow,  because 
her  hour  is  come:  but  as  soon  as 
she  is  delivered  of  the  child,  she 
reraembereth  no  more  the  anguish, 
for  joy 

1  Tim.  ii,  15.  Notwithstanding  she 
shall  be  saved  in  child-bearing,  if 
they  continue  in  faith,  and  charity, 
and  holiness,  with  sobriety. 

TWINS. 
Gen.  XXV,  24-26.  And  when  her 
daj'8  to  be  delivered  were  fulfilled, 
behold,  there  were  twins  in  her 
womb.  And  the  first  came  out 
red,  all  over  like  an  hairy  gar- 
ment; and  they  called  his  name 
Esau.  And  after  that  came  his 
brother  out,  and  his  hand  took 
hold  on  Esau's  heel;  and  his  name 
was  called  Jacob:  and  Isaac  was 
threescore  years  old  when  she  bare 
them. 

Gen.  xxxvili,  27-30.  And  it  came 
to  pass,  in  the  time  of  her  travail, 
that,  behold,  twins  were  in  her 
womb.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
she  travailed,  that  the  one  put  out 
his  hand;  and  the  midwife  took 
and  bound  upon  his  hand  a  scarlet 
thread,  saying,  This  came  out  first. 
And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  drew 
back  his  hand,  that,  behold,  his 
brother  came  out;  and  she  said. 
How  hast  thou  broken  forth?  this 
breach  be  upon  thee:  therefore  Ins 
name  was  called  Pharez.  And 
afterward  came  out  his  brother, 
that  had  the  scarlet  thread  upon 
his  hand;  and  his  name  was  called 
Zarah. 

TREATMENT  OF  CHILD  AND 
MOTHER. 
Lev.  xil,  2-8.  Speak  unto  the 
children  of  Israel,  saying,  If  a 
woman  have  conceived  seed,  and 
born  a  man-child,  then  she  shall  be 
unclean  seven  days;  according  to 
the  days  of  the  separation  for  her 
infirmity  shall  she  be  unclean. 
And  in  the  eighth  day  the  flesh  of 
his  foreskin  shall  be  circumcised. 
And  she  shall  then  continue  in  the 
blood  of  her  purifying  three  and 
thirty  days:  she  shall  touch  no 
hallowed  thing,  nor  come  into  the 
sanctuary,  until  the  days  of  her 


purifying  be  fulfllled.  But  if  she 
bear  a  niaid-child,  then  she  shall 
be  unclean  two  weeks,  as  in  her 
separation;  and  she  shall  continue 
in  the  blood  of  her  purifying 
threescore  and  six  days.  And 
when  tlie  days  of  her  purifying 
are  fulfllled,  for  a  son,  or  for  a 
daughter,  she  shall  bring  a  lamb  of 
the  first  year  for  a  burnt-offering, 
and  a  young  pigeon,  or  a  turtle- 
dove, for  a  sin-otTering,  unto  the 
door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregalion,  unto  the  priest;  Who 
shall  offer  it  before  the  Lord,  and 
make  an  atoneniftnt  for  her,  and 
she  shall  be  cleansed  from  the 
issue  of  her  blood.  This  is  the 
law  for  her  that  hath  born  a  male 
or  a  female.  And  if  slie  be  not 
able  to  bring  a  lamb,  then  she 
shall  bring  two  turtles,  or  two 
young  pigeons;  the  one  for  the 
burnt-offering,  and  the  other  for  a 
8in-off"ering:  and  the  priest  shall 
make  an  atonement  for  her,  and 
she  shall  be  clean. 

Ezek.  xvi,  4,  5.  And  as  for  thy 
nativity,  in  the  day  thou  wast 
born  thy  navel  was  mjt  cut,  neither 
wast  thou  washed  in  water  to  sup- 
ple thee:  thou  wast  not  salted  at 
all,  nor  swaddled  at  all.  None 
eye  pitied  thee,  to  do  any  of  these 
unto  thee,  to  have  commpassion 
upon  thee;  but  Ihou  wast  cast  out 
in  the  open  field,  to  tlie  loathing  of 
thy  person,  in  the  day  that  thou 
wast  born. 

ABORTION. 

Job  iii,  16.  Or  as  an  hidden  un- 
timely birth  I  had  not  been;  as 
infants  which  never  saw  light. 

Ps.  Iviii,  8 Let  every  one 

of  them  pass  away;  like  the  un- 
timely birth  of  a  woman,  that 
they  may  not  see  the  sun. 

Eccles.\\,Z-b.  If  a  man  beget 
an  hundred  children,  and  live 
many  years,  so  that  the  days  of 
his  years  be  many,  and  his  soul 
be  not  filled  with  good,  and  also 
that  he  have  no  burial;  I  say,  that 
an  untimely  birth  is  better  than 
he:  For  he  cometh  in  with  vanity, 
and  departeth  in  darkness,  an  1  his 
name  shall  be  covered  with 
darkness.  Moreover,  he  hath  not 
seen  the  sun,  nor  known  any 
thing:  this  hath  more  rest  than 
the  other. 

Hosea  ix,  11, 14.  As  for  Ephraim, 
their  glory  shall  fly  away  like  a 
bird,  from  the  birth,  and  from  the 
womb,  and  from  the  conception. 
Give  them,  O  Lord:  what  wilt 
thou  give?  give  ttiem  a  miscarry- 
ing womb  and  dry  breasts. 

DEATH  IN  CHILD-BIRTH. 
Gen.  XXXV,   16-19.     And   they 
journeyed  from  Beth-el;  and  there 
was  but  a  little  way  to  come  to 


J^'AMiLY. 


Ephrath:  and  Rachel  travailed, 
aud  she  had  hard  luboui-.  And  it 
came  to  pass,  when  she  was  in 
hard  labour,  that  the  midwife  said 
unto  her,  Fear  not;  thou  shalt 
Lave  this  son  also.  And  it  came 
to  pass,  as  her  soul  was  in  depart- 
ing, (for  she  died)  that  she  called 
his  name  Ben-onI:  but  his  father 
called  him  Beujaniin,  And  Rachel 
died,  and  was  buried  in  the  way 
to  Ephrath,  which  is  Bethlehem. 

1  Sam.  iv,  19, 20.  And  his  daugh- 
ter-in-law, Phinehas'  wife^  was 
with  child,  near  to  be  delivered: 
and  wlien  she  heard  the  tidings 
that  the  ark  of  God  was  taken, 
and  that  her  father-in-law  and 
her  husband  were  dead,  she  bowed 
herself  and .  travailed;  for  her 
pains  came  upon  her.  And  about 
the  time  of  her  death  the  women 
that  stood  by  her  said  unto  her. 
Fear  not;  for  thou  hast  born  a 
son.  But  she  answi-red  not, 
neither  did  she  regard  it. 

Isa.  xxxvli,  3.  And  they  said 
unto  him,  Thus  saith  Hezekiah, 
This  day  is  a  day  of  trouble,  and 
of  rebuke,  and  of  blasphemy:  for 
the  children  are  come  to  the  birth, 
and  there  is  not  strength  to  bring 
forth. 


BARRENNESS. 

Gen.  x\,  30.  But  Sarai  was  bar- 
ren; she  had  no  child. 

Gen.  XV,  2,  3.  And  Abram  said, 
Lord  God,  What  wilt  thou  give 

me,  seeing  I  go  childless 

And  Abram  said,  Behold,  to  me 
thou  hast  given  no  seed:  and,  lo, 
one  born  in  my  tiouse  is  mine 
heir. 

Gen.  xxix,  31.  And  when  the 
Lord  saw  that  Leah  loas  hated, 
he  opened  her  womb;  but  Rachel 
was  barren. 

Judges  xiii,  2.  And  there  was  a 
certain  man  of  Zorah,  of  the 
family  of  the  Danites,  whose  name 
was  Manoah;  and  his  wife  was 
barren,  and  bare  not. 

1  Sam.  i,  5,  6, 8.  But  unto  Han- 
nah he  gave  a  worthy  portion; 
for  he  loved  Hannah:  but  the 
Lord  had  shut  up  her  womb. 
And  her  adversary  also  provoked 
her  sore,  for  to  make  her  tret, 
beciuse  the  Lord  had  shut  up  her 
womb.  Then  said  Elkanah  her 
husband  to  her,  Hannah,  why 
weepest  thou?  and  why  eatest 
thou  not?  and  why  is  thy  heart 
grieved?  am  not  I  better  to  thee 
than  ten  sous? 

2  Sam.  vi,  23.  Therefore  Michal, 
the  daughter  of  Saul,  had  no  child 
unto  the  day  of  her  death. 

Mark  xii,  18-22.  Then  come  unto 
him  the  Sadducees,  which  say 
there  is  no  resurrection;  and  they 
asked  him,  saying,  Master,  Moses 
wrote  uuto  uS;  If  a  man's  brother 


die,  and  leave  his  wife  behind 
him.  and  leave  no  children,  that 
his  brother  slionid  take  his  wife, 
and  raise  up  seed  unto  his  brother. 
Now  there  were  seven  brethren: 
and  the  first  took  a  wife,  and 
dying  left  no  seed.  And  the 
secdiid  took  her,  and  died,  neither 
left  he  any  seed:  and  the  tliird 
likewise.  And  the  seven  had  her, 
and  left  no  seed:  last  of  all  the 
woman  died  also. 

Luke  i,  7,  25.  And  they  had  no 
child,  because  that  Elisabeth  was 
barren;  and  they  both  were  noio 
well  stricken  in  years.  Thus 
hath  the  Lord  dealt  with  me  in 
the  days  wherein  he  looked  on 
me,  to  take  away  my  reproach 
among  men. 

Job  xxiv,  21.  He  evil-entreateth 
the  barren  that  beareth  not,  and 
doeth  not  good  to  the  widow. 

Isa.  liv,  1,  Sing,  O  barren,  thou 
tTiat  didst  not  bear;  break  forth 
into  singing,  and  cry  aloud,  thou 
that  didst  not  travail  with  child; 
for  more  are  the  children  of  the 
desolate  than  the  children  of  the 
married  wife,  saith  the  Lord. 

Gkil.  iv,  26-28.  But  Jerusalem 
which  is  above  is  free,  which  is 
the  mother  of  us  all.  For  it  is 
written,  Rejoice,  thou  barren  that 
bearest  not;  break  forth  and  cry, 
thou  that  travailest  not:  for  the 
desolate  hath  many  more  children 
than  she  which  hath  an  hut-band. 
Now  we,  brethren,  as  Isaac  was, 
are  the  children  of  promise. 

BARRENNESS  WEALED  BY 
PRAYER.

Job  his  mouth,  and  cursed  his  day. 
And  Job  spake,  and  said.  Let  the 
day  perish  wherein  I  was  b(  rn, 
and  tlie  night  m  tchich  it  was  said, 
Tliere  is  a  man-child  conceived. 
Let  that  day  be  darkness;  let  not 
God  regard  it  from  above,  neither 
let  the  light  shine  upon  it.  Let 
darkness  and  the  shadow  of  death 
stain  it;  let  a  cloud  dwell  upon  it; 
let  the  blackness  of  the  day  terrify 
it.  As  for  that  niglit,  let  darkness 
seize  upon  it;  let  it  not  be  joined 
unto  the  days  of  the  year;  let  it 
not  come  into  the  number  of  tlie 
months.  Lo,  let  that  night  be 
solitary;  let  no  joyffil  voice  come 
therein.  Let  tliem  curse  it  that 
curse  the  day,  who  are  ready  to 
raise  up  their  mourning.  Let  the 
stars  of  their  twilight  thereof  be 
dark;  let  it  look  tor  light,  but  have 
none;  neither  let  it  see  the  dawn- 
ing of  the  day:  Because  it  shut 
not  up  the  doors  of  my  mother's 
womb,  nor  hid  sorrow  from  mine 
eyes.

gods?

hath  spoken  good  concerning 
Israel.  And  he  said  unto  him,  I

me  depart,  that  I  may  go  to  mine 
own  country.  Then  Pharaoh  said 
unto  him.  But  what  hast  thou 
lacked  with  me,  that,  behold,  thou 
seekest  to  go  to  thine  own  coun- 
try? And  he  answered.  Nothing; 
Lowbeit,  let  me  go  in  any  wise. 

Neh.  ii,  3-5.  And  said  unto  the

be  sad,  when  the  city,  the  place  of 
my  fathers'  sepulchres,  Z/eiA  waste, 
and  the  gates  tliereof  are  con- 
sumed with  fire?  Then  the  king 
said  unto  me.  For  what  dost  thou 
make  request?  So  I  prayed  to 
the  God  of  heaven.  And  J  said 
unto  the  king.  If  it  please  the  king, 
and  if  thy  servant  have  found 
favour  in  thy  sight,  that  tliou 
wouldest  send  me  unto  Judah, 
unto  the  city  of  my  fatliers'  sepul- 
chres, that  1  may  build  it.

For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  Behold,  I 
will  extend  peace  to  her  like  a

like  a  flowing  stream:  then  shall 
ye  suck,  ye  shall  be  borne  upon

could  not  speak  unto  you  as  unto 
spiritual,  but  as  unto  carnal,  even 
as  unto  babes  in  Christ.  I  have 
fed  you  Avith  milk,  and  not  with 
meat:  for  hitherto  ye  were  not 
able  to  bear  it,  neither  yet  now 
are  ye  able,

til the  child  be  weaned,  and  then 
I  will  bring  him,  that  he  may 
appear  before  the  Lord,  and  there 
abide  lor  ever.  And  Elkanah 
her  husband  said  unto  her.  Do 
what  seemeth  thee  good;  tarry 
until  thou  have  weaned  him;  only 
the  Lord  establish  his  word.  So 
the  woman  abode,  and  gave  her 
8on  suck  until  she  weaned  him. 


And  when  she  had  weaned  him, 
she  took  him  up  with  her,  with

are  like  unto  children  sitting 
in  the  market-place,  and  calling 
one  to  another,  and  saying,  We 
have  piped  unto  you,  and  ye  have 
not  danced;  we  have  mourned  to 
you,  and  ye  have  not  wept. 

1  Cor.  xiii,  11.  And  when  I  was 
a  child,  I  spake  as  a  child,  I  un-

a  child;  but  when  I  became  a 
man,  1  put  away  childish  things.

Ps.  cxliv,  12,  That  our  sons 
may  be  as  plants  grown  up  in 
their  youth;  that  our  daughters 
may  be  as  corner  stones,  polish- 
ed after  the  similitude  of  a  palace.

known  by  his  doings,  whether  his 
work  be  pure,  and  whether  it  be 
right.

sorrow  from  thy  heart,  and  put 
away  evil  from  thy  flesh:  for 
childhood  and  youth  are  vanity.

God  hath  heard  the  voice  of  the 
lad  where  he  is.

as  little  chiUlren,  ye  sTiall  not  enter 
into  tlie  kinf?doin  of  heaven. 
Whosoever  therefore  shall  hum- 
ble himself  as  this  little  child,  the 
same  is  greatest  in  the  liingdom 
of  heaven.  And  whoso  shall  re- 
ceive one  such  little  child  iu  my 
name,  receiveth  me.

there  brought  unto  him  little 
children,  that  he  should  put  his

and  lurbid  them  not,  to  come  unto 
me;  for  of  such  is  the  kingdom  of 
heaven.

child,  and  set  him  in  the  midst  of 
them:  and  when  he  had  taken  him

Whosoever  shall  receive  one  of 
such  children  in  my  name,  receiv- 
eth me;  and  who.soever  shall  re- 
ceive me,  receiveth  not  me,  but 
him  that  sent  me. 

Mark  x,  13-16-  And  they  brought 
young  children  to  him,  that  he 
should  touch  them:  and  Ms  disci- 
ples rebuked  those  that  brought 
them.  But  when  Jesus  saw  it,  he 
was  much  displeased,  and  said 
unto  them,  SufTer  the  little  chil- 
dren to  come  unto  me,  and  forbid 
them  not:  for  of  such  is  the  king- 
dom of  God.  Verily  I  say  unto 
you.  Whosoever  shall  not  receive 
the  kingdom  of  God  as  a  little 
child,  he  shall  not  enter  therein.

that  is  least  among  you  all,  the 
same  shall  be  great. 

Luke  xviii,  15-17.  And  they 
brought  unto  him  also  infants, 
that  he  would  touch  them:  but

little  children  to  come  unto  me, 
and  forbid  them  not;  for  of  such 
is  the  kingdom  ot  God.  Verily  I 
say  unto  you.  Whosoever  shall  not

CHILDREN     BORN     IN 
OLD   AGE  OF  PARENTS. 

Gen.  xvi,  15, 16.  And  Hagar  bare 
Abram  a  son:  and  Abram  culled 
his  son's  name,  which  Ilagar  bare, 
Ishmael.  And  Abram  was  four- 
score and  six  years  old  when 
Uagar  bare  Ishmael  to  Abram. 

Gen.  xvil,  17.  Then  Abraham 
fell  upon  his  face,  an  i  laughed, 
AOd  Mia  iix  his  heai-t  Shall  a  ohM 


be  born  unto  him  that  is  an  hun- 
dred years  old?  and  shall  Sarah, 
that  is  ninety  years  old,  bear? 

Gen.  xxi,  1, 2,  5-7.  And  the  Lord 
visited  Sarah  as  he  had  said,  and 
the  Lord  did  unto  Sarah  as  he  had 
spoken.  For  Sarah  conceived, 
and  bare  Abraham  a  son  in  his 
old  age,  at  the  set  time  of  which 
God  had  spoken  to  him.  And 
Abraham  was  an  hundred  years 
old,  when  his  son  Isaac  was  born 
unto  him.  And  Sai-ah  said,  God 
hath  made  me  to  laugh,  so  that 
all  that  hear  will  laugh  with  me. 
And  she  said.  Who  would  have 
said  unto  Abraham  that  Sarah 
should  have  given  cliildren  sucli? 
for  1  have  born  him  a  son  in  his 
old  age. 

Gen.  xxiv,  36.  And  Sarah,  my 
master's  wife,  bare  a  son  to  my 
master  when  she  was  old:  and 
unto  him,  hath  he  given  all  that 
he  hath. 

Buth  i,  11,  12.  And  Naomi  said. 
Turn  again,  my  daughters:  why 
will  ye  go  with  rae?  are  there  yet 
any  more  sons  in  my  womb,  that 
they  may  be  your  husbands?  Turn 
again,  my  daughters;  go  your 
way;  for  I  am  too  old  to  have  an 
husband.  If  I  should  say,  I  have 
hope,  ^/I  should  have  an  husband 
also  to-night,  and  should  also  bear 
sons. 

Luke  i,  18,  86.  And  Zacharias 
said  unto  the  angel.  Whereby 
shall  I  know  this?  for  I  am  an  old 
man,  and  my  wife  well  stricken  in 
years.  And,  behold,  thy  cousin 
Elisabeth,  she  hath  also  conceived 
a  son  in  her  old  age;  and  this  is 
the  sixth  month  with  her,  who 
was  called  barren. 

Eeh.  xi,  11.  Through  faith  also 
Sara  herself  received  strength  to 
conceive  seed,  and  was  delivered

because  she  jutlged  him  faitMul 
who  had  promised. 

DEATH  OF  CHILDREN. 

1  Sam.  il,  33, 34.  And  the  man 
of  thine,  whom  1  shall  not  cut  off 
from  mine  altar,  shall  he  to  con- 
sume thine  eyes,  and  to  grieve 
thine  heart:  and  all  the  increase 
of  thine  house  shall  die  in  the 
flower  of  their  age.  And  this 
shall  be  a  sign  unto  thee,  that  sliall 
come  upon  thy  two  sons,  on 
Hophni  and  Phinehas;  in  one  day 
they  shall  die  both  of  them. 

1  Kings  xlv,  12,  13,  17.  Arise 
thou  therefore,  get  thee  to  thine 
own  house;  and  when  thy  feet 
enter  into  the  city,  the  child  shall 
die.  And  all  Israel  shall  mourn 
for  him,  and  bury  him;  lor  he  only 
of  Jeroboam  shall  come  to  the 
grave,  because  in  him  there  is 
found  some  good  thing  toward  the 
Lord  God  of  Israel  in  the  house 
ol  Jtiiuboam.  And  Jeroboam's 
819 


wife  arose, and  departed,  and  came 
to  Tirzah:  and  when  slie  came  to 
the  threshold  of  the  door,  the 
child  died. 

1  Kings  xvii,  17, 18.  And  it  came 
to  pass  after  these  things,  that  the 
son  of  the  woman,  the  mistress  of 
the  house,  fell  sick;  and  his  sick- 
ness was  so  sore,  that  there  was 
no  breath  left  in  him.  And  she 
said  unto  Elijah,  Wliat  have  I  to 
do  with  thee,  O  thou  man  of  God? 
art  thou  come  unto  me  to  call  my 
sin  to  remembrance,  and  to  slay 
my  son? 

2  Kings  iv,  18-21.  And  when  the 
child  was  grown,  it  fell  on  a  day, 
that  he  went  out  to  his  father  to 
the  reapers.  And  he  said  unto 
his  father.  My  head,  my  head!  And 
he  said  to  a  lad.  Carry  him  to  his 
mother.  And  when  he  had  taken 
him,  and  brouglit  him  to  his 
mother,  he  sat  on  her  knees  till 
noon,  and  then  died.  And  she 
went  up,  and  laid  him  on  the  bed 
of  the  man  of  God,  and  sliut  the 
door  upon  him,  and  went  out. 

Job  i,  18,  19.  While  he  was  yet 
speaking,  there  came  also  another, 
and  said.  Thy  scmsand  thy  daugli- 
ters  loere  eating  and  drinlxiiig 
wine  in  their  eldest  brother's 
house.  And,  behold,  tliore  caine 
a  great  wind  from  the  wilderness, 
and  smote  the  four  corners  of  the 
house,  and  it  fell  upon  the  young 
men,  and  they  are  dead;  and  I 
only  am  escaped  alone  to  tell  thee. 

1  Kings  xxi,  21,  22.  Behold,  I 
will  bring  evil  upon  thee,  and  will 
take  away  thy  posterity,  and  will 
cut  off  from  Ahab  him  that  pisseth 
against  the  wall,  and  him  that  is 
shut  up  and  left  in  Israel,  And 
will  make  thine  house  like  the 
house  of  Jeroboam  the  son  of 
Nebat,  and  like  the  house  of 
Baasha  the  son  of  Ahijah,  for  the 
provocation  wherewith  thou  hast 
provoked  me  to  anger,  and  made 
Israel  to  sin. 

Job  xviii,  19.  He  shall  neither 
have  son  nor  nephew  among  his 
people,  nor  any  remaining  in  his 
dwellings. 

Isa.  xiv,  22.  P'or  I  will  rise  up 
against  them,  saith  the  Loud  of 
hosts,  and  cut  off  Iroin  Babylon 
the  name,  and  remnant,  and  son, 
and  nephew,  saith  the  Lord. 

PS.  xxi,  10.  Their  fruit  slurit  thou 
destroy  from  the  earth,  and  their 
seed  from  among  the  children  of 
men.  *

that  taketh  and  daslieth  thy  little 
ones  against  the  stones. 

Isa.  11,18.  There  is  none  to  guide 
her  among  all  the  sons  whom  she 
hath  brought  forth;  neither  is 
there  any  that  taketh  her  by  the 
hand  of  all  the  sons  that  she  liatb 
brought  up. 


FAMILY. 


Jer.  XV,  7.  And  I  will  fan  them 
with  a  fan  in  the  gates  of  the  land; 
I  will  bereave  them  of  children,  I 
will  destroy  my  people,  since  they 
return  not  from  their  ways. 

E^li.  xxiv.  25.  Also,  thou  son  of 
man.s/wK  it  not  be.in  the  day  when 
I  take  from  them  their  strength, 
the  joy  of  their  glory,  the  des^ire 
of  their  eyes,  and  that  whereupon 
they  set  their  minds,  their  sons 
and  their  daughters. 

Lam.  ii,  19-22,  Arise,  cry  out 
in  the  night;  in  the  beginning  of 
the  watches  pour  out  thine  heart 
like  water  before  the  face  of  tin 
Loed:  lift  up  vhy  hands  toward 
him  for  the  life  of  thy  young  chil- 
dren, that  faint  for  hunger  in  the 
top  of  every  street.  Behold,  O 
Lord,  and  consider  to  whom  thou 
hast  done  this.  Shall  the  women 
eat  their  fruit,  and  children  of  a 
span  long?  ....  The  young  and 
the  old  lie  on  the  ground  in  the 
streets:  my  virpins  and  my  young 
men  are  fallen  by  the  sword;  thou 
hast  slain  them  in  the  day  of  thine 
anger;  thou  hast  killed,  and  not 
pitied.  Thou  liast  called,  as  in  a 
solemn  day,  my  terrors  round 
about;  so  that  in  the  day  of  the 
Lord's  anger  ncme  escaped  nor 
remained:  those  that  1  have  swad- 
dled and  brought  up  hath  mine 
enemy  consumed. 

Hosea  ix,  12,  13,  16.  Though 
they  bring  up  their  children,  yet 
will  I  bereave  them,  that  there 
shall  not  be  a  man  left:  yea,  woe 
also  to  them  when  I  depart  fi'om 
them.  Ephraim,  as  I  saw  Tyrus, 
is  planted  in  a  pleasant  place:  but 
Ephraim  shall  bring  forth  his 
children  to  the  murderer.  Eph- 
raim is  smitten,  their  root  is  dried 
up,  they  shall  bear  no  fruit;  yea, 
though  they  bring  forth,  yet  will 
I  slay  even  the  beloved  fruit  of 
their  womb. 

Matth.  ii,  16.  Then  Herod,  when 
he  saw  that  he  was  mocked  of  the 
wise  men,was  exceeding  wroth,and 
sent  forth,  and  slew  all  the  chil- 
dren that  were  in  Bethlehem,  and 
in  all  the  coasts  thereof,  from  two 
years  old  and  under,  according  to 
the  time  which  he  had  diligently 
enquired  of  the  wise  men. 


GRIEF  OF  BEREAVED 
PARENTS. 
Gen.  xxxvii,  35.  And  all  his 
sons,  and  all  his  daugliters,  rose 
up  to  comfort  him;  but  he  refused 
to  be  comforted:  and  he  said.  For 
I  will  go  down  into  the  grave  un- 
to my  son  mourning.  Thus  his 
father  wept  for  him. 

Gen.  xlii,  36.  And  Jacob  their 
father  said  unto  them,  Me  have 
ye  bereaved  of  my  children: 
Joseph  is  not,  and  Simeon  is  not. 


and  ye  will  take  Benjamin  away. 
All  these  things  are  against  me. 

Gen.  xliv,  27-29.  And  thy  ser- 
vant my  father  said  unto  us,  Ye 
know  that  my  wife  bare  me  two 
sons:  And  the  one  went  out  from 
me,  and  I  said.  Surely  he  is  torn 
in  pieces;  and  I  saw  him  not  since. 
And  if  ye  take  this  also  from  me, 
and  mischief  befall  him.  ye  shiill 
bring  down  my  gray  hairs  with 
sorrow  to  the  grave. 

Lev.  X,  19,  20.  And  Aaron  said 
unto  Moses,  Behold,  this  day  have 
they  offered  their  sin-cjfferiiig  and 
their  burnt-offering  before  the 
Lord;  and  such  things  have  be- 
fallen me:  and  if  I  had  eaten  the 
sin-offering  to-day,  should  it  have 
been  accepted  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord?  And  when  Moses  heard 
that,  he  was  content. 

2  Sam.  xii,  18, 19,  21-23.  And  It 
came  to  pass  on  the  seventh  day, 
that  the  child  died.  And  the  ser- 
vants of  David  feared  to  tell  him 
that  the  child  was  dead:  for  they 
said.  Behold,  while  the  child  was 
yet  alive,  we  spake  unto  him,  and 
he  would  not  hearken  unto  our 
voice;how  will  he  then  vex  himself, 
if  we  tell  him  that  the  child  is  dead? 
But  when  David  saw  that  his 
servants  whispered,  David  per- 
ceived that  the  child  was  dead: 
therefore  David  said  unto  his  ser- 
vants. Is  the  child  dead?  And 
they  said,  He  is  dead.  Then  said 
his  servants  unto  him.  What 
thing  is  this  that  thou  hast  done? 
thou  didst  fast  and  weep  for  the 
child,  Vjhile  it  was  alive;  but  when 
the  child  was  dead,  thou  didst  rise 
and  eat  bread.  And  he  said. 
While  the  child  was  yet  alive,  I 
fasted  and  wept:  for  I  said.  Who 
can  tell  whether  God  will  be 
gracious  to  me,  that  the  child  may 
live?  But  now  he  is  dead,  where- 
fore should  I  fast?  can  I  bring 
him  back  again?  1  shall  go  to  him, 
but  he  shall  not  return  to  me. 

2  Sam.  xiil,  37.  But  Absalom 
fled,  and  went  to  Talmai,  the  son 
of  Ammihud,  king  of  Geshur:  and 
David  mourned  for  his  son  every 
day. 

2  Sam.  xviii,  a3.  And  the  Idng 
was  much  moved,  and  went  up  to 
the  chamber  over  the  gate,  and 
wept;  and,  as  he  went,  thus  he 
saiii,  O  my  son  Absalom !  my  son, 
my  son  Absalom!  would  God  1 
had  died  for  thee,  O  Absalom,  my 
son,  my  son! 

2  Sam.  xix,  1-4.    And   it  was 

told  Juab,  Behold,  the  king  weep- 
eth  and  mourneth  for  Absalom. 
And  the  victory  that  day  was 
turned  into  mourning  unto  all 
the  people;  for  the  people  heard 
say  that  day,  how  the  king  was 
grieved  for  his  son.  And  the 
people  gat  them  by  stealth  that 
day  into  the  city,  as  people  being 
«  213 


ashamed  steal  away  when  they 
flee  in  battle.  But  the  king 
covered  his  face,  and  the  king 
cried  with  a  loud  voice,  O  my  son 
Absalom!  O  Absalom,  my  son,  my 
son! 

2  Kings  iv,  27,  28.  And  when 
she  came  to  the  man  of  God  to 
the  hill,  she  caught  him  by  the 
feet;  but  Gehazi  came  near  to 
thrust  her  aw;iy.  And  the  man  of 
God  said,  Let  her  alone:  for  her 
soul  is  vexed  within  her;  and  the 
Lord  hath  hid  it  from  me,  and 
hath  not  told  me.  Then  she  said. 
Did  I  desire  a  son  of  my  lord?  did 
I  not  say.  Do  not  deceive  me? 

1  Chron.  vii,  20-22.  And  the 
sons  of  Ephraim;  Shuthelah,  and 
Bered  his  son,  and  Tahath  his 
son,  and  Eladah  his  son,  and  Ta- 
hath his  son,  And  Zabad  his  son, 
and  Shuthelah  his  son,  and  Ezer, 
and  Elead,  whom  the  men  of  Gath 
that  were  born  in  that  land  slew, 
because  they  came  down  to  take 
away  their  cattle.  And  Ephraim 
their  fatlier  mourned  many  days, 
and  his  brethren  came  to  com- 
fort him. 

Jo6xxix,5.  When  the  Almighty 
was  yet  with  me,  when  my  chil- 
dren were  about  me. 

Jer.\\,2Q.  O  daughter  of  my 
people,  gird  thee  with  sackcloth 
and  wallow  thyself  in  ashes; 
make  thee  mourning,  as  for  an 
only  son,  most  bitter  lamentation: 
for  the  spoiler  shall  suddenly 
come  upon  us. 

Jer.  xxxi,  15.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  A  voice  was  heard  in  Ra- 
mah,  lamentation,  and  bitter 
weeping;  Rachel  weeping  for  her 
children,  refused  to  be  comforted 
for  her  children,  because  they 
were  not. 

Lam.  i,  15,  16.  The  Lord  hath 
trodden  under  foot  all  my  mighty 
men  in  the  midst  of  me;  he  hath 
called  an  assembly  against  me  to 
crush  my  young  men:  the  Lord 
hath  trodden  the  virgin,  the 
daughter  of  Judah,  as  in  a  wine 
press.  For  these  things  I  weep; 
mine  eye,  mine  eye  runneth  down 
with  water,  because  the  comforter 
that  should  relieve  my  soul  is  far 
from  me:  my  children  are  de- 
solate, because  the  enemy  pre- 
vailed. 

FILIAL  DUTY, 

EXEMPLIFIED   AND   INCULCATED. 

Gen.  xxvii,  8,  13.  Now,  there- 
fore, my  son,  obey  my  voice,  ac- 
cording to  that  which  I  com-

unto  him.  Upon  me  be  thy  curse, 
my  son;  only  obey  my  voice,  and 
go  letch  me  them. 

Gen.  xliv,  34.  For  how  rfiall  I 
go  up  to  my  father,  and  the  lad  he 
not  with  me?  lest  peradventur©  I

my  father  of  all  my  glory  in

Gen.  xlvi,  29.  And  Joseph  made 
ready  his  chariot,  and  went  up  to

on  his  neck  a  good  while. 

Gen.  xlviii,  2.  And  one  told

liand  against  the  king's  son:  for

thee,  and  Abishai,  and  Ittai,  say- 
ing, Beware  that  none  touch 
the  young  man  Absalom,  Other- 
wise I  should  have  wrought  false-

thine  enemies,  and  hatest  thy 
friends:  for  thou  hast  declared  this 
day,  that  thou  regardest  neither 
princes  nor  servants,  for  this  day

lived,  and  all  we  had  died  this 
day,  then  it  had  pleased  thee 
well.

woman  said,  Nay;  but  the  living 
is  my  son,  and  the  dead  is  thy 
son;  and  this  said.  No;  but  the  dead 
is  thy  son,  and  the  living  is  my  son. 
Thus  they  spake  before  the  king. 
Then  said  the  king,  The  one 
saith,  This  is  my  son  that  liveth, 
and  thy  son  is  the  dead;  and  the 
other  saith,  Nay;  but  thy  son  is 
the  dead,  and  my  son  is  the  liv- 
ing. And  the  king  said.  Bring 
me  a  sword.  And  they  brought  a 
sword  before  the  king.  And  the 
king  said,  Divide  the  living  child 
in  two,  and  give  half  to  the  one, 
and  half  to  the  other.  Then  spake 
the  woman  whose  the  living 
child  teas  unto  the  king,  (for  her 
bowels  yearned  upon  her  sou,) 
and  she  said,  O  my  lord,  give  her 
the  living  child,  and  in  no  wise 
slay  it:  but  the  other  said.  Let  it 
be  neither  mine  nor  thine,  but 
divide  it.  Then  the  king  answei'- 
ed  and  said.  Give  her  the  living 
child,  and  in  no  wise  slay  it:  she 
is  the  mother  thereof.  And  all 
Israel  heard  of  the  judgment 
which  the  king  had  judged;  and 
they  feared  the  king:  for  they  saw 
that  the  wisdom  of  God  was  in 
him,  to  do  judgment.

ren, they  hated  him,  and  could  not 
speak  peaceably  unto  him.

llie  nations  of  the  earth  shall 
be  blessed  in  him?  For  I  know 
him,  that  he  will  command  his 
children  and  his  household  after 
him,  and  they  shall  keep  the  way 
of  the  LoRu,  to  do  justice  and 
judgment;  that  the  Lord  may 
bring  upon  Abraham  that  which 
he  hath  spoken  of  him.

thee  evih  and  now,  we  pray  thee, 
forgive  the  trespass  of  the  ser- 
vants of  the  God  of  thy  father.

unto  him.

him,  that  I  will  judge  his  house

on  his  face,  and  bowed  himself, 
and  thanked  the  king:  and  Joab 
said,  To-day  thy  servant  knoweth 
that  I  have  found  grace  in  thy 
sight,  my  lord,  O  king,  in  that  the 
king  hath  fulfilled  the  request  of 
his  servant.    So  Joab  arose,  and

Ps.  xxii,  30,  31.  A  seed  shall 
serve  him;  it  shall  be  accounted  to 
the  Lord  for  a  generation.  They 
shall  come,  and  shall  declare  his 
righteousness  unto  a  people  that 
si  1  all  be  born,  that  he  hath  done 
this. 

Ps.  xxxiv,  11.  Come,  ye  children, 
hearKen  unto  me;  I  will  teach  you 
the  fear  of  the  Lord. 

Ps.  Ixxviii,  3-8.  Which  we  have 
heard  and  known,  and  our  fathers 
have  told  us.  We  will  not  hide 
them  from  their  children,  shewing 
to  the  generation  to  come  the 
praises  of  the  Lokd,  and  his 
strength,  and  his  vvonderlul  works 
that  he  hath  done.  For  he  esta- 
blished a  testimony  in  Jacob,  and 
appointed  a  law  in  Israel,  which 
he  commanded  our  fatliers,  that 
tliey  should  make  them  known  to 
their  children;  Tliat  the  genera- 
tion to  come  might  know  thtm, 
even  the  children  ichich  should  be 
born,  v)ho  should  arise  and  declare 
them  to  their  children;  That  they 
might  set  their  hope  in  God,  and 
not  forget  the  works  of  God,  but 
keep  his  commandments:  And 
might  not  be  as  their  fathers,  a 
stubborn  and  rebellious  genera- 
tion; a  generation  that  set  not 
their  heart  aright,  and  whose 
spirit  was  not  stedfast  with  God. 

Prov.  iv,  1-4,  10-13.  Hear,  ye 
children,  the  instruction  of  a 
father,  and  attend  to  know  under- 
htanding.  For  I  give  you  good 
doctrine,  forsake  ye  not  my  law. 
For  I  was  my  father's  son,  tender 
and  only  beloved  in  the  sight  of 
my  motlier.  He  taught  me  also, 
and  said  unto  me.  Let  thine  heart 
retain  my  words:  keep  my  com- 
mandments, and  live.  Hear,  O 
my  son,  and  receive  my  sayings; 
and  the  years  of  thy  life  shall  be 
many.  I  have  taught  thee  in  the 
way  of  wisdom;  I  have  led  thee  in 
right  paths.  When  tliou  goest, 
thy  steps  shall  not  be  straitened; 
and  when  thou  runnest,  thou  shalt 
not  stumble.  Take  fast  hold  of 
instruction;  let  her  not  go:  keep 
her;  for  she  is  thy  lile. 

Prov.  xlil,  1.  A  wise  son  heareth 
his  father's  Instruction:  but  a 
scorner  heareth  not  rebuke. 

Prov.  XV,  5.  A  fool  drspisctl)  liis 
father's  Instruction:  but  he  that 
regardeth  reproof  is  prudent. 

Prov.  xxvil,  11,  Jly  son,  be  wise, 
and  make  my  heart  glad,  that  1 
may  answer  him  that  reproacheth 
me.

Cant,  viii,  2.  I  would  lead  thee. 
and  bring  thee  into  my  motlier's 
house,  who  would  inijtruct  me. . . . 

Isa.  xxxviii,  19,  The  living,  the 
living,  he  shall  praise  thee,  as  1 
do  this  day:  the  father  to  the 
chiUlren  shall  make  known  thy 
truth. 

Joel  1,  2,  3.  Hear  this,  ye  old 
men,  and  give  ear,  all  ye  inhabi- 
tants of  the  land.  Hath  this  been 
in  your  days,  or  even  in  the  days 
of  your  fathers?  Tell  ye  your 
children  of  it,  and  let  your  children 
tell  their  children,  and  their  chil- 
dren another  generation, 

Eph.  vi,  4.  And,  ye  fathers,  pro- 
voke not  your  children  to  wrath: 
but  bring  them  up  in  the  nurture 
and  admonition  of  the  Lord. 

Qol.  iii,  21.  Fathers,  provoke  not 
your  children  to  anger,  lest  they 
be  discouraged, 

2  Tim.  i,  5.  When  I  call  to  re- 
membrnnce  the  unfeigned  feith 
that  is  in  thee,  which  owelt  first 
in  thy  grandmother  Lois,  and  thy 
mother  l':unice;  and  I  am  i)ersuad- 
ed  that  in  thee  also. 

AND  TO  CHASTISE  THEM. 

Prov.  xiii.  24.  He  that  spareth 
his  rod  hateth  his  son:  but  he  that 
loveth  him  chasteneth  him  be- 
times. 

Prov.  xix,  18,  19,  Chasten  thy 
son  while  there  is  hope,  and  let  not 
thy  soul  spare  for  his  crying,  A 
man  of  great  wrath  sliall  suffer 
punishment;  for  if  thou  deliver 
him,  yet  thou  must  do  it  again. 

■  Prov.  xxii,  15.  Foolishness  is 
bound  in  the  heart  of  a  child;  but 
the  rod  of  correction  shall  drive 
it  far  from  him. 

P)-ov.  xxiii,  13, 14.  Withhold  not 
correction  from  the  child;  for  i/ 
thou  beatest  him  with  the  rod,  he 
shall  not  die.  Thou  shalt  beat 
him  Avith  the  rod,  and  shalt  de- 
liver his  soul  from  hell, 

Prov.  xxix,  15, 17.  The  rod  and 
reproof  give  wisdom:  but  a  child 
lett  to  hiinselfbringf th  his  mother 
to  shame.  Correct  thy  son,  and 
he  shall  give  thee  rest;  yea.  he 
shall  give  delight  unto  thy  soul. 

Jleb.  xil,  9, 10.  Furthermore,  we 
have  had  fathers  of  our  flesh 
w  Inch  corrected  us,  and  we  gave 
them  reverence:  shall  we  not  much 
rather  be  in  subjection  unto  the 
Father  of  spirits,  and  live?  For 
they  verily  for  a  few  days  chasten- 
ed tis  after  their  own  pleasure; 
but  he  for  our  profit,  that  we 
might  be  partakers  of  his  hoUness 

AND   ESPECIALLY  TO   TELL 
THEM  THE  MEANING  OP 
RELIGIOUS   ORDINANCES. 
E.wd.xii,  25-27.    And    it  shall 

come  to  pass,  when  ye  be  come 


to  the  land  which  the  Loud  will 
give  you,  according  as  he  hath 
promised,  tliat  ye  sliall  keep  this 
eervlce.  And  it  sliall  come  to 
pass,  when  your  children  shall 
say  unto  you,  What  mean  ye  hy 
this  service?  That  ye  shall  say, 
It  is  the  sacrifice  of  the  Lord's 
passover,  Avho  passed  over  the 
houses  of  the  children  of  Israel  in 
Egypt,  when  he  smote  the  Egyp- 
tians, and  delivered  our  houses. 
And  the  people  bowed  the  head, 
and  worshipped. 

Exod.  xiii,  14-16.  And  it  shall 
be  when  thy  son  asketh  thee  in 
time  to  come,  saying.  What  is 
this?  that  thou  shalt  say  unto  him, 
By  strength  of  hand  the  Lord 
brought  us  out  from  Egypt,  from 
the  house  of  bondage:  And  it  came 
to  pass,  when  Pharaoh  would 
hardly  let  us  go,  that  the  Lord 
slew  all  the  first-born  in  the  land 
of  Egypt,  both  the  first-born  of 
man,  and  the  first-born  of  beast: 
therefore  I  sacrifice  to  the  Lord 
all  that  openeth  the  matrix,  being 
males;  but  all  the  first-born  of  my 
children  I  redeem.  And  it  shall 
be  for  a  token  upon  thine  hand, 
and  for  frontlets  between  thine 
eyes:  for  by  strength  of  hand  the 
Lord  brought  us  forth  out  of 
Egypt. 

Exod.  xvi,  32-34.  And  Moses 
said,  This  is  the  thing  which  the 
Lord  commandeth.  Fill  an  omer 
of  it  to  be  kept  for  your  genera- 
tions; that  they  may  see  the  bread 
wherewith  I  have  fed  you  in  the 
wilderness,  when  I  brought  you 
forth  from  the  land  of  Egypt.  And 
Moses  said  unto  Aaron,  Take  a 
pot,  and  put  an  omer  full  of  manna 
tlierein,  and  lay  it  up  before  the 
Lord,  to  be  kept  for  your  genera- 
tions. As  the  Lord  commanded 
Moses,  so  Aaron  laid  it  up  before 
the  Testimony,  to  be  kept. 

Josh,  iv,  22-24.  Then  ye  shall 
let  your  children  know,  saying, 
Israel  came  over  this  Jordan  on 
dry  land.  For  the  Lord  your  G  od 
dried  up  the  waters  of  Jordan 
from  before  you,  until  ye  were 
passed  over,  as  the  Lord  your 
God  did  to  the  Red  sea,  which  he 
dried  up  from  before  us,  until  we 
were  gone  over;  That  all  the 
people  of  the  earth  might  know  the 
han<l  of  the  Lord,  that  it  is 
mighty:  that  ye  might  fear  the 
Lord  your  God  for  ever. 

Josh,  xxii,  24, 25.  And  if  we  have 
not  rather  done  it  for  fear  of  this 
thing,  saying,  In  time  to  come 
your  children  might  speak  unto 
our  children,  saying,  What  have 
ye  to  do  with  the  Lord  God  of 
Isriiel?  For  the  Lord  hath  made 
Jordan  a  border  between  us  and 
you.  ye  children  of  Reuben,  and 
children  of  Gad;  ye  hitve  no  part 
iu  the  Lord:  so  shall  your  chil- 


FA.MILY. 

dren  make     our  children   cease 
from  fearing  the  Lord. 

VALUE  OF  SUCH  1.>?STRUC- 
TION. 

Prov.  X,  1.  The  Proverbs  of 
Solomon.  A  wise  son  maketh  a 
glad  father:  but  a  foolish  son  is  the 
heaviness  of  his  mother. 

Prov.  XV,  20.  A  wise  son  maketh 
a  glad  father:  but  a  foolish  man 
despiseth  his  mother, 

Prov.  xvii.  21,  25.  He  that  be- 
getteth  a  fool  doeth  it  to  his  sor- 
row; and  the  father  of  a  fool  hath 
no  joy.  A  foolish  son  is  a  grief  to 
his  father,  and  bitterness  to  her 
that  bare  him. 

Prov.  xix,  26.  He  that  wasteth 
his  father,  and  chaseth  aAvay  Ms 
mother,  is  a  son  that  causeth 
shame,  and  bringeth  reproach. 

Prov.  xxii,  6.  Train  up  a  child 
in  the  way  he  should  go;  and 
when  he  is  old,  he  will  not  depart 
from  it. 

Prov.  xxiii,  15,  16,  24,  25.  My 
son,  if  thine  heart  be  wise,  my 
heart  shall  rejoice,  even  mine; 
Yea,  my  reins  shall  rejoice  when 
thy  lips  speak  right  things.  The 
father  of  the  righteous  shall 
greatly  rejoice;  and  he  that  be- 
getteth  a  wise  child  shall  have  joy 
of  him.  Thy  father  and  thy 
mother  shall  be  glad,  and  she  that 
bare  thee  shall  rejoice. 

Prov.  xxviii,  24.  Whoso  robbeth 
his  father  or  his  mother,  and 
saith,  It  is  no  transgression;  the 
same  is  the  companion  of  a  de- 
stroyer. 

Prov.  XXX,  11.  There  is  a  gener- 
ation that  curseth  their  father, 
and  doth  not  bless  their  mother. 

Isa.  1,  2,  Hear,  O  heavens;  and 
give  ear,  O  earth:  for  the  Lord 
hath  spoken,  1  have  nourished  and 
brought  up  children,  and  they 
have  rebelled  against  me. 

PATERNAL  BLESSINGS. 

Gen.  ix,  24-27.  And  Noah  awoke 
from  his  wine,  and  knew  what  his 
younger  son  had  done  unto  him. 
And  he  said.  Cursed  be  Canaan;  a 
servant  of  servants  shall  he  be 
unto  his  brethren.  And  he  said. 
Blessed  be  the  Lord  God  of  Shem; 
and  Canaan  shall  be  his  servant. 
God  shall  enlarge  Japheth,  and 
he  shall  dwell  in  the  tents  of 
Shem;  and  Canaan  shall  be  his 
servant. 

Gen.  xxvil,  10,  29,  32-38.  And 
thou  Shalt  bring  it  to  thy  father, 
that  he  may  eat,  and  that  he  may 
bless  thee  before  his  death.  Let 
people  serve  thee,  and  nations 
bow  down  to  thee:  be  lord  over 
thy  brethren,  and  let  thy  mother's 
sons  bow  down  to  thee:  cursed  be 
every  one  that  curseth  thee,  and 
blessed  b6  he  that  blesseth  thee.

And  Isaac  his  father  said  unto 
him.  Who  art  thou?  And  he  said, 
I  am  thy  son,  thy  first-born,  Esau. 
And  Isaac  trembled  very  exceed- 
ing'y,  and  said.  Who?  where  is  he 
that  hath  taken  venison,  and 
brought  it  me,  and  I  have  eaten 
of  all  before  thou  camest,  and 
have  blessed  him?  yea,  a7id  he 
shall  be  blessed.  And  when  Esau 
heard  the  words  of  his  father,  he 
cried  with  a  great  and  exceeding 
bitter  cry,  and  said  unto  his  father. 
Bless  me,  even  me  also,  O  my 
father!  And  he  said.  Thy  brother 
came  with  subtilty.  and  hath 
taken  away  thy  blessing.  And  he 
said,  Is  not  he  rightly  named 
Jacob?  for  he  hath  supplanted  me 
these  two  times:  he  took  away 
my  birthright;  and,  behold,  now 
he  hath  taken  away  my  blessing. 
And  he  said,  Hast  thou  not  re- 
served a  blessing  for  me?  And 
Isaac  answered  and  said  unto 
Esau,  Behold,  I  have  made  him 
thy  lord,  and  all  his  brethren  have 
I  given  to  him  for  servants;  and 
with  corn  and  wine  have  I  eus- 
tained  him:  and  what  shall  I  do 
now  unto  thee,  my  son?  And 
Esau  said  unto  his  father.  Hast 
thou  but  one  blessing,  my  father? 
bless  me,  eve7i  me  also,  O  my 
father!  And  Esau  lifted  up  his 
voice,  and  wept, 

THE  FAMILY  PROPHECY 
OF  JACOB. 

Gen.  xlix,  1-28,  And  Jacob 
called  unto  his  sons,  and  said, 
Gather  yourselves  together,  that 
I  may  tell  you  that  which  shall 
befall  you  in  the  last  days.  Gather 
yourselves  together  and  hear,  ye 
sons  of  Jacob;  and  hearken  unto 
Israel  your  father.  Reuben,  thou 
art  my  first-born,  my  might,  and 
the  beginning  of  my  strength,  the 
excellency  of  dignity,  and  the  ex- 
cellency of  power:  Unstable  as 
water,  thou  shalt  not  excel;  be- 
cause thou  wentest  up  to  thy 
lather's  bed;  then  defiledst  thou 
it:  he  went  up  to  my  couch. 
Simeon  and  Levi  are  brethren; 
instruments  of  cruelty  are  in  their 
habitations.  O  my  soul,  come  not 
thou  into  their  secret;  unto  their 
assembly,  mine  honour,  be  not 
thou  united!  for  in  their  anger 
they  slew  a  man,  and  in  their  self- 
will  they  digged  down  a  wall. 
Cursed  be  their  anger,  for  it  was 
fierce;  and  their  wrath,  for  it  was 
cruel:  I  will  divide  them  in  Jacob, 
and  scatter  them  in  Israel,  Judah, 
thou  art  he  whom  thy  brethren 
shall  praise:  thy  hand  shall  be 
in  the  neck  of  thine  enemies;  thy 
father's  children  shall  bow  down 
before  thee.  Judah  is  a  lion's 
whelp:  from  the  prey,  my  son, 
thou  art  gone  up:  he  stooped 
down,  he  couched  as  a  lion,  and 
as  an  old  lion;  who  shall  rouse 
him  up?     The  sceptre  shall  not 


FAMILY. 


depart  from  Jndah.noralawgriver 
from  between  his  feet,  until  Sliiloh 
come;  and  unto  him  shall  the 
gathering  of  the  people  be:  Bind- 
ing his  foal  unto  the  vine,  and  his 
ass's  colt  unto  the  choice  vine;  he 
washed  his  garments  in  wine,  and 
his  clothes  in  the  blood  of  grapes: 
His  eyes  shall  be  red  with  wine, 
and  his  teeth  white  with  milk. 
Zebulun  shall  dwell  at  the  haven 
of  the  sea;  and  he  shall  be  for  an 
haven  of  ships:  and  his  border 
shall  be  unto  Zidon.  Issachar  is 
a  strong  ass  couching  down  be- 
tween two  burdens:  And  he  saw 
that  rest  was  good,  and  the 
land  that  it  loas  pleasant;  and 
bowed  his  shoulder  to  bear, 
and  became  a  servant  unto 
tribute.  Dan  shall  judge  his 
people,  as  one  of  the  tribes  of 
Israel.  Dau  shall  be  a  ser- 
pent by  the  way,  an  adder  in 
the  path,  that  biteth  the  horse 
heels,  so  that  his  rider  shall  fall 
baclvward.  I  have  waited  for  thy 
salvation,  O  Lord.  Gad,  a  troop 
shall  overcome  him:  but  he  shall 
overcome  at  the  last.  Out  of 
Aslier  his  bread  shall  be  fat,  and 
he  shall  yield  royal  dainties. 
Naphtali  is  a  hind  let  loose:  he 
giveth  goodly  words.  Joseph  is  a 
fruitful  bough,  even  a  fruitful 
bough  by  a  well,  lohose  branches 
run  over  the  wall.  The  archers 
have  sorely  grieved  him,  and  sliot 
at  him,  and  hated  him:  But  his 
bow  abode  In  strength,  and  the 
arms  of  his  hands  were  made 
strong  by  the  hands  of  the  mighty 
God  of  Jacob;  (from  thence  is  tlie 
Shepherd,  the  stone  of  Israel:) 
Even  by  the  God  of  thy  fatljer, 
who  shall  help  thee,  and  by  the 
Almighty,  who  shall  bless  thee 
with  blessings  of  heaven  above, 
blessings  of  the  deep  that  lioth 
under,  blessings  of  the  breasts 
and  of  the  womb.  The  blessings 
of  thy  father  have  prevailed  above 
the  blessings  of  my  progenitors 
unto  the  utmost  bound  of  the  ever- 
lasting hills:  they  shall  be  on  the 
head  of  Joseph,  and  on  the  crown 
of  the  head  of  him  that  was  separ- 
ate from  his  brethren.  Benjamin 
shall  ravin  as  a  wolf:  in  the  mor- 
ning he  shall  devour  the  prey,  and 
at  night  he  shall  divide  the  spoil. 
All  these  are  the  twelve  tribes  of 
Israel:  and  this  is  it  that  their 
lather  spake  unto  them,  and 
blessed  them;  every  one  according 
to  his  blessing  he  blessed  them. 

ADOPTION. 

Gen.  xlviii,  6,  6,  And  now 
thy  two  sons,  Ephraim  and  Man- 
asseh,  which  were  born  imto  thee 
in  the  land  of  Egypt,  before  I  came 
unto  thee  into  Egypt,  are  mine: 
as  Reuben  and  Simeon,  they  shall 
be  mine.  And  thy  ii-sue,  which 
Uiou  begettest  after  tliem,  shall 


be  thine,  and  shall  be  called  after 
the  name  ot  their  brethren  in 
their  inheritance. 

Heb.  xii,  24  By  faith  Moses, 
when  he  was  come  to  years,  re- 
fused to  be  cilied  the  son  of 
Pharaoh's  daughter. 

SPIRITUAL    ADOPTION— ITS 

SOURCE  THE  GRACE  OF 

GOD. 

Eosea  1, 10.  Yet  the  number  of 
the  children  of  Israel  shall  be  as 
the  sand  of  the  sea,  which  cannot 
be  measured  nor  numbered:  and 
it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  in  the 
place  where  it  was  said  unto  them. 
Ye  are  not  my  people,  there  it 
shall  be  said  unto  tliem.  Ye  are 
the  sons  of  the  living  God. 

John  i,  12, 13.  But  as  many  as 
received  him,  to  them  gave  he 
power  to  become  the  sons  of  God, 
even  to  them  that  believe  on  his 
name:  Which  were  born,  not  of 
blood,  nor  of  the  will  of  the  flesh, 
nor  of  the  will  of  man,  but  of  God. 

Eph.  I,  5.  Having  predestinated 
us  unto  the  adoption  of  children 
by  Jesus  Christ  to  himself,  accord- 
ing to  the  good  pleasure  of  his 
will. 

1  John  lii,  1.  Behold  what 
manner  of  love  the  Father  luuli 
bestowed  upon  us,  that  we  should 
be  called  the  suns  of  God!  tliere- 
fore  tlie  world  knoweth  us  not, 
because  it  knew  him  not. 

ITS  BLESSINGS. 

i^.  Ixxxix,  26,  27.  He  shall  cry 
unto  me,  Thou  art  ray  Father,  my 
God,  and  the  Rock  of  my  salva- 
tion. Also  I  will  make  him  my 
first-born,  higher  than  the  kings 
of  the  earth. 

Jer.  iii,  4, 19.  Wilt  thou  not  from 
this  time  cry  unto  me,  My  father, 
thou  art  the  guide  of  my  youth? 
But  I  said.  How  shall  I  put  thee 
among  the  children,  and  give  thee 
a  pleasant  land,  a  goodly  heritage 
ot  the  hosts  of  nations?  and  I  said, 
Thou  Shalt  call  me.  My  father; 
and  Shalt  not  turn  away  from  me. 

Bom.  vlii,  14-17.  For  as  many  as 
are  led  by  the  Spirit  of  God,  tliey 
are  the  suns  of  God.  For  ye  have 
not  received  the  Spirit  of  bondage 
again  to  fear,  but  ye  have  receiv- 
ed the  Spirit  of  adoption,  whereby 
we  cry,  Abba,  Father.  The  Spirit 
itself  beareth  witness  with  our 
spirit,  that  we  are  the  children  of 
God:  And  if  children,  then  heirs; 
heirs  of  God,  and  joint-heirs  with 
Christ;  if  so  be  that  we  sufler  with

Gal.  iv,  5-7,19,28.  To  redeem  them 
that  were  under  the  law,  that  we 
might  receive  the  adoption  of 
sons.  And  because  ye  are  sons, 
God  hath  sent  forth  the  Spirit  of 
his  Son  into  your  hearts,  crying, 
Abba,  Father.  AVheretore  thou 
art  no  more  a  servant,  but  a  son; 
and  if  a  son,  then  an  heir  of  God 
through  Christ.  My  little  children, 
of  wliom  I  travail  in  birth  again 
until  Christ  be  formed  in  you. 
Now  we,  brethren,  as  Isaac  was, 
are  the  children  of  promise. 

1  John  iii,  2,  Beloved,  now  are 
we  the  sons  of  God;  and  it  doth 
not  yet  appear  what  we  shall  be: 
but  we  know  that,  when  he  shall 
appear,  we  shall  be  like  him;  foi 
we  shall  see  him  as  he  is. 

ITS  DUTIES. 

Matth.  V,  45.  That  ye  may  be 
the  cliildren  of  your  Father  which 
is  in  heaven:  for  he  maketh  his 
sun  to  rise  on  the  evil  and  on  the 
good,  and  sendeth  rain  on  the  just 
and  on  the  unjust. 

Eijh.  v,  1.  Be  ye  therefore  follow- 
ers of  God,  as  dear  children. 

Phil,  ii,  15.  That  ye  may  be 
blameless  and  harmless,  the  sons 
of  God,  without  rebuke,  in  the 
midst  of  a  crooked  and  perverse 
nation,  among  whom  ye  shine  as 
lights  in  the  world. 

Heb.  xii,  5.  And  ye  have  forgot- 
ten the  exhortation  which  spcak- 
eth  unto  you  as  unto  children. 
My  son,  despise  not  thou  the 
chastening  of  the  Lord,  nor  faint 
when  thou  art  rebuked  of  him. 

1  John  iii,  3, 10.  And  every  man 
that  hath  this  hope  in  him  purifl- 
eth  himself,  even  as  he  is  pure. 
In  this  the  children  of  God  are 
manifest,  and  the  children  of  the 
devil:  whosoever  doeth  not  right- 
eousness is  not  of  God,  neither  he 
that  loveth  not  his  brother.

Ps.  cxxxiii,  1-3.  Behold,  how 
good  and  how  pleasant  it  is  for

ointment  upon  the  head,  that  ran 
down  upon  the  beard, €t'e?i  Aaron's 
'oeard;  that  went  down  to  the 
skirts  of  his  garments;  As  the 
dew  of  Ilermon,  and  as  the  dew

commanded  the  blessing,  even

ence against  thy  brother  Jacob 
shame  shall  cover  thee,  and  thou 
Shalt  be  cut  off  for  ever.  But 
thou  shouldest  not  have  looked 
on  the  day  of  thy  brother  in  the 
day  that  he  became  a  stranger;

joiced over  the  children  of  Judah 
in  the  day  of  their  destruction; 
neither  shouldest  thou  have 
spoken  proudly  in  the  day  ol 
distress.  Thou  shouldest  not  have 
entered  into  the  gate  of  my  peo- 
ple In  the  day  of  their  calamity; 
yea,  thcu  shouldest  not  have 
looked  on  their  aflUction  in  the 
day  of  their  calamity,  nor  have 
laid  hands  on  their  substance  in 
the  day  of  their  calamity.

thee  up  out  of  the  land  of  Egypt, 
♦    220 


and  redeemed  thee  out  of  the 

house  of  servants;  and  I  sent  be- 
fore thee  Moses,  Aaron,  and 
Miriam.  O  my  people,  remember 
now  what  Balak  king  of  Moab 
consulted,  and  what  Balaam  the

three  against  two,  and  two 
against  three.

obey  the  voiceof  the  Lord  thy  God. 
And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that,  as 
the  Lord  rejoiced  over  you  to  do 
you  good,  and  to  multiply  you;  so 
the  Lord  will  rejoice  over  you  to 
destroy  you,  and  to  bring  you  to 
nought:  and  ye  shall  be  plucked 
from  off  the  land  whither  thou 
goest  to  possess  it.

without  man,  and  the  land  be 
utterly  desolate;  And  the  Lord

maketh  the  earth  empty,  and

abroad  the  inhabitants  thereof. 
And  it  shall  be,  as  Avith  the  peo- 
ple, so  with  the  priest;  as  with  the

there  teas  no  man,  and  all  the  i 
birds  of  the  heavens  were  fled,  j 
I  beheld,  and,  lo,  the  fruitful  place 
teas  a  wilderness,  and  all  the  cities 
thereof  were  bioken  down  at  the 
presence  of  the  Lobd,  and  by  his 
fierce  an^er. 

Jer.  ix.  10.  For  tL :>  mountains  will 
I  take  up  a  weeping  and  wailing, 
an<l  for  the  habitations  of  the 
wilderness  a  lamentation,  because 
they  are  burnt  up,  so  that  none 
can  pass  through  them;  neither 
can  men  hear  the  voice  of  the 
cattle:  both  the  fowl  of  the 
heavens  and  the  beast  are  fled; 
they  are  gone. 

Jer.  \,  13.  Because  of  the  wrath 
of  the  Lord  it  shall  not  be  in- 
habited, but  it  shall  be  wholly 
desolate:  every  one  that  gooth  by 
Babylon  shall  be  astonished,  and 
hiss  at  all  her  plagues, 

Exek.  xii,  20.  And  the  cities  that 
are  Inliablted  shall  be  laid  waste, 


and  the  land  shall  be  desolate;  and 
ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the 
Lord. 

Ezek.  XV,  8.  And  I  will  make 
the  land  desolate,  because  they 
have  committed  a  trespass,  saith 
the  Lord  God. 

Ezek.  xxxii,  15, 16.  When  I  shall 
make  the  land  of  Egypt  desolate, 
and  the  country  shall  be  destitute 
of  that  whereof  it  was  full,  when 
I  shall  smite  all  them  that  dwell 
therein,  then  shall  they  know  that 
I  am  the  Lord.  This  is  the  lam- 
entation wherewith  they  shall 
lament  her:  the  daughters  of  the 
nations  shall  lament  her:  they 
shall  lament  for  her,  even  for 
Egypt,  and  for  all  her  multitude, 
saith  the  Lord  God. 

Ezek.  xxxiii,  28,  29.  For  I  will 
lay  the  land  most  desolate,  and 
the  pomp  of  her  strength  shall 
cease;  and  the  mountains  of  Israel 
Shall  be  desolate,  that  none  shall

pass  through.  Then  shall  they 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  when  I 
have  laid  the  land  most  desolate, 
because  of  all  their  abominations 
which  they  have  committed.

man  and  beast;  I  will  consume 
the  fowlt  of  the  heaven,  and  the 
fishes  of  the  sea,  and  the  stum- 
blingblocks  with  the  wicked;  and  I 
will  cut  off  man  from  off  the  land, 
saith  the  Lord, 

ZepJi.  Ill,  6.  I  have  cut  off  the 
nations:  their  towers  are  deso- 
late; I  made  their  streets  waste, 
that  none  passetli  by:  their  cities 
are  destroyed,  so  that  there  is  no 
man,  that  there  is  none  inhabit- 
ant.

III.— THE  MILITARY  CENSUS 

UNDER    DAVID,   FORBIDDEN 

BY  GOD. 

AS  IT  IS  GIVEK  IN  SAMUEL, 

(See  under  ARMY.) 
1  Chron.  xxi,  1-8.  And  Satan 
stood  up  against  Israel,  and  pro- 
voked David  to  number  Israel. 
And  David  said  to  Joab.  and  to 
the  rulers  of  the  people,  Go,  num- 
ber Israel,  from  Beer-shcba  even 
to  Dan,  and  bring  the  number  of 
them  to  me,  that  I  may  know  it. 
And  Joab  answered.  The  Lord 
make  his  people  an  hundred  times 
so  many  more  as  they  be:  but,  my 
lord  the  king,  are  they  not  all  my 
lord's  servants?  why  then  doth  my 
lord  require  this  thing?  why  will 
he  be  a  cause  of  trespass  to  Israel? 
Nevertheless  the  king's  word  pre- 
vailed against  Joab:  wherefore 
Joab  departed,  and  Avent  through- 
out all  Israel,  and  came  to  Jeru- 
salem. And  Joab  gave  the  sum 
of  the  number  of  the  people  unto 
David.  And  all  they  of  Israel  were 
a  thousand  thoxisand  and  an  hun- 
dred thousand  men  that  drew 
sword:  and  Judah  was  four 
hundred  threescore  and  ten  thous- 
and men  that  drew  sword.  But 
Levi  ai;id  Benjamin  counted  he 
not  among  them:  for  the  king's 
word  was  abominable  to  Joab. 
And  God  was  displeased  with  this 
thing;  therefore  he  smote  Israel. 
And  David  said  unto  God,  I  have 
sinned  greatly,  because  I  have 
done  this  thing:  but  now,  I  be- 
seech thee,  do  away  the  iniquity  of 
thy  servant;  for  1  have  done  very  • 
foolishly.

And  the  porters  were  Shallum, 
and  Akkub,  and  Talmon,  and

the  four  chief  porters,  were  in 
their  set  office,  and  were  over  the 
chambers  and  treasuries  of  the 


house  of  God.  And  they  lodged 
round  about  the  house  of  God, 
because  the  charge  was  upon 
them,  and  the  opening  thereof

And  certain  of  them  liad  the 
charge  of  the  ministeringvvessels, 
that  they  should  bring  them  in

the  priests  made  the  ointment  of 
the  spices.  And  Mattithiah,  one 
of  the  Levites,  (who  teas  the  first-

Levites  were  chief  throughout 
their  generations;  these  dwelt  at

salem the  holy  city,  and  nine  parts 
to  divell  in  other  cities.  And  the

LoED  spake  unto  you  out  of  the 
midst  of  the  fire:  ye  heard  the 
voice  of  the  words,  but  saw  no 
similitude;  only  ye  heard  a  voice. 
Unto  thee  it  was  shewed,  that 
thou  mightest  know  that  the  Lord 
he  is  God;  there  is  none  else  be- 
side him.  Out  of  heaven  he  made 
thee  to  hear  his  voice,  that  he 
might  instruct  thee;  and  upon 
earth  he  shewed  thee  his  great 
fire,  and  thou  heardest  his  words 
out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire.  Know 
therefore  this  day,  and  consider  it 
in  thine  heart,  that  the  Loed  he 
is  God  in  heaven  above,  and  upon

my  hand.

people?  and  the  things  that  are

hath  declared  this  from  ancient 
time?  icho  hath  told  it  from  that 
time?  have  not  I  the  Lord?  and 
tliere  is  no  God  else  besides  me;  a 
just  God  and  a  Saviour;  there  is 
none  besides  me.  Look  unto  me,,

appertain:  forasmuch  as  among 
all  the  wise  men  of  the  nations, 
and  in  all  their  kingdoms,  there  is 
none  like  unto  thee.  But  they 
are  altogether  brutish  and  foolish: 
the  stock  is  a  doctrine  of  vanities. 
But  the  Lord  is  the  true  God,  he 
is  the  living  God,  and  an  ever-

2  Peter  iil,  8.  But,  beloved,  be 
not  Ignorant  of  this  one  thing, 
that  one  day  is  with  the  Lord  as 
a  thousand  years,  and  a  thousand 
years  as  one  day. 

Pev.  1, 4,  8.  John  to  the  seven 
churches  which  are  in  Asia: 
Grace  be  unto  you,  and  peace, 
from  him  winch  is,  and  which 
was,  and  which  is  to  come;  and 
from  the  seven  Spirits  which  are 
before  his  throne.  I  am  Alpha 
and  Omega,  the  beginning  and 
the  ending,  saith  the  Lord,  which 
is,  and  Avhich  was,  and  which  is 
to  come,  the  Almighty. 

HIS  INFINITUDE  AND 
INCOMPREHENSIBILITY. 

Exod.  iii,  14 And  he  said, 

Thus  Shalt  thou  say  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel,  I  AM  hath  sent 
me  unto  you. 
2  Sam.  xxii,  12.    And  he  made 


darkness  pavilions  round   about 
liiiii.     (lark    waters,    and    thick 
I  clouds  of  the  skies. 

1  Kings  viii,  12,  27.  Then  spake 
Solomon,  The  Lord  said  that  he 
would  dwell  in  the  thick  dark- 
ness. But  will  God  indeed  dwell 
on  the  earth?  Behold,  the  heaven, 
and  heaven  of  heavens,  cannot 
contain  thee;  how  much  less  this 
house  that  I  have  builded, 

2  Qhron.  ii,  6.  But  who  is  able 
to  build  him  an  house,  seeing  the 
heaven,  and  heaven  of  heavens, 
cannot  contain  him?  who  am  I 
then,  that  I  should  build  him  an 
house,  save  only  to  burn  sacrifice 
before  him? 

2  Qhron.  vi,  1.  Then  said  Solo- 
mon, The  Lord  hath  said  that 
he  would  dwell  in  the  thick  dark- 
ness. 

Job  V,  9.  Which  doeth  great 
things  and  unsearchable;  marvel- 
lous things  without  number. 

Job  xi,  7-9.  Canst  thou  by 
searching  find  out  God?  canst 
thou  find  out  the  Almighty  unto 
perfection?  It  is  as  high  as  hea- 
ven; what  canst  thou  do?  deeper 
than  hell;  what  canst  thou  know? 
The  measure  thereof  is  longer 
than  the  earth,  and  broader  than 
the  sea. 

Job  xxvi,  14.  Lo,  these  are  parts 
of  his  ways:  but  how  little  a  por- 
tion is  heard  of  him?  but  the 
thunder  of  his  power  who  can 
understand? 

Job  xxxvi,  26.  Behold,  God  is 
great,  and  we  know  him  not.  .  .  . 

Job  xxxvii,  5,  23.  God  thunder- 
eth  marvellously  with  his  voice: 
great  things  doeth  he,  which  Ave 
cannot  comprehend.  Touching 
the  Almighty,  we  cannot  find 
him  out:  he  is  excellent  in  power, 
and  in  judgment,  and  in  plenty  of 
justice:  he  will  not  afflict. 

Ps.  xviii,  11.  He  made  darkness 
his  secret  place;  his  pavilion 
round  about  him  were  dark 
waters  and  thick  clouds  of  the 
skies. 

Ps.  Ixxvii,  19.  Thy  way  is  in  the 
sea,  and  thy  path  in  the  great 
waters,  and  thy  footsteps  are  not 
known. 

Ps.  xcvii,  2.  Clouds  and  dark- 
ness are  round  about  him:  right- 
eousness and  judgment  are  the 
habitation  of  his  throne. 

Ps.  civ,  2,  3.  Who  coverest  thy- 
self with  light  as  trith  a  gar- 
ment; who  stretchest  out  the 
heavens  like  a  curtain;  Who 
layeth  the  beams  of  his  chambers 
in  the  waters;  who  maketh  the 
clouds  his  chariot;  who  Avalketh 
upon  the  wings  of  the  wind.      » 

Ps.  cxlv,  3.  Great  is  the  Lord, 
and  greatly  to  be  praised;  and  his 
greatness  is  unsearchable. 


GOD. 


Eccles.  m,  11.  He  hath  made 
every  thing  beautiful  in  his  time: 
also  he  hath  set  the  world  in  their 
heart;  so  that  no  man  can  find  out 
the  work  that  God  maketh  from 
the  beginning  to  the  end. 

Isa.  x\,  12-17.  Who  hath  meas- 
ured the  waters  in  tlie  hollow  of 
his  hand,  and  meted  ovX  heaven 
with  the  span,  and  comprehended 
the  dust  of  the  earth  in  a  measure, 
and  weighed  the  mountains  in 
scales,  and  the  hills  in  a  balance? 
Who  hath  directed  the  Spirit  of 
the  LoED,  or,  heing  his  counsellor, 
Lath  taught  him?  With  whom 
took  he  counsel,  and  who  in- 
structed him,  and  taught  him  in 
the  path  of  judgment,  and  taught 
him  knowledge,and  shewed  to  him 
the  way  of  understanding?  Be- 
hold, the  nations  are  as  a  drop  of 
a  bucket,  and  are  counted  as  the 
small  dust  of  the  balance:  behold, 
he  taketh  up  the  isles  as  a  very 
little  thing.  And  Lebanon  is  not 
sufficient  to  burn,  nor  the  beasts 
thereof  sufficient  for  a  burnt- 
offering.  All  nations  before  him 
are  as  nothing;  and  they  are 
counted  to  him  less  than  nothing, 
and  vanity. 

Isa.  xlv,  7, 11, 15, 19.  I  form  the 
light,  and  create  darkness;  I  make 
peace,  and  create  evil:  I  the  Lord 
do  all  ttiese  things.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  the  Holy  One  of  Israel, 
and  his  Maker,  Ask  me  of  things 
to  come  concerning  my  sons,  and 
concerning:  the  work  of  my  hands 
Cummand  ye  me.  Verily  thou  art 
a  God  tliat  liidest  thyself,  O  God 
of  Israel,  the  Saviour.  I  have  not 
spoken  in  secret,  in  a  dark  place 
of  the  earth:  1  said  not  unto  the 
seed  of  Jacob,  Seek  ye  me  in  vain: 
I  the  Lord  speak  rigliteousness,  I 
declare  things  that  are  right. 

Isa.  Ixvi,  1.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  The  heaven  is  my  throne, 
and  the  earth  is  my  footstool: 
where  is  the  house  that  ye  build 
unto  me?  and  where  is  the  place 
of  my  rest? 

Nahum  i,  3 The   Lord 

hath  his  way  in  the  whirlwind 
and  in  the  storm,  and  the  clouds 
are  the  dust  of  his  feet. 

Eah.  iii,  3,  10.  God  came  from 
Teman,  and  the  Holy  One  from 
mount  Paran.  Selah.  His  glory 
covered  the  heavens,  and  the 
earth  was  full  of  his  praise.  The 
mountains  saw  thee,  and  they 
trembled:  the  overflowing  of  the 
water  passed  by:  the  deep  uttered 
bis  voice,  and  lifted  up  his  hands 
on  high. 

Rom.  xi,  33,  34.  O  the  depth  of 
the  riclies  both  of  the  wisdom  and 
knowledge  of  God!  how  unsearch- 
able are  his  judgments,  and  his 
ways  past  finding  out!  For  who 
bath   kuuwu    the   mind   uf   the 


Lord?  or  w'^o  hath  been  his  coun- 
sellor. 

Eph.  i.  23 The  fulness 

of  him  [Christ]  that  filleth  all  in 
all. 

HIS  OMNIPRESENCE. 

(See  under  Previous  Head.) 

Gen.  xvl,  13.  And  she  called  the 
name  of  the  Lord  that  spake  unto 
her,  Thou  God  seest  me:  for  she 
said,  Have  I  also  here  looked 
after  him  that  seeth  me? 

1  Kings  viii,  27.  But  will  God 
indeed  dwell  on  the  earth?  Be- 
hold, the  heaven,  and  the  heaven 
of  heavens,  cannot  contain  thee; 
how  much  less  this  house  that  I 
have  builded. 

Ps.  cxxxix,  1-12.  O  Lord,  thou 
hast  searched  me,  and  known  me. 
Thou  knowest  my  down-sitting 
and  mine  up-rising;  thou  under- 
standest  my  thought  afar  off. 
Thou  compassest  my  path,  and 
my  lying  down,  and  art  acquain- 
ted with  all  my  Avays.  For  there 
is  not  a  word  in  my  tongue,  but, 
lo,  O  Lord,  thou  knowest  it  alto- 
gether. Thou  hast  beset  me  be- 
hind and  before,  and  laid  thine 
hand  upon  me.  Such  knowledge 
is  too  wonderful  for  me;  it  is  high, 
I  cannot  attain  unto  it.  Whither 
shall  I  go  from  thy  Spirit?  or 
whither  shall  I  flee  from  thy  pres- 
ence? If  I  ascend  up  into  heaven, 
thou  art  there;  if  I  make  my  bed 
in  hell,  behold,  thou  art  there.  If 
I  take  the  wings  of  the  morning, 
and  dwell  in  the  uttermost  parts 
of  the  sea;  Even  there  shall  thy 
hand  lead  me,  and  thy  right  hand 
shall  hold  me.  If  I  say,  Surely 
the  darkness  shall  cover  me;  even 
the  night  shall  be  light  about  me. 
Yea,  the  darkness  hideth  not  from 
thee;  but  the  night  shineth  as  the 
day:  the  darkness  and  the  light 
are  both  alike  to  thee. 

Jer.  xxiil,23,  24.  Am  I  a  God  at 
hand,  saith  the  Lord,  and  not  a 
God  afar  off?  Can  any  hide  him- 
self in  secret  places  that  I  shall 
not  see  him?  saith  the  Lord:  do 
not  I  fill  heaven  and  earth?  saith 
the  Lord. 

Acts  xvii,  27, 28.  That  they  should 
seek  the  Lord,  if  haply  they  might 
feel  after  him,  and  find  him, 
though  he  be  not  far  from  every 
one  of  us.  For  in  him  we  live 
and  move  and  have  our  being. . . , 

HIS  OMNIPOTENCE. 

Gen.  xvii,  1.  And  when  Abram 
was  ninety  years  old  and  nine, 
the  Lord  appeared  to  Abram,  and 
said  unto  him,  I  am  the  Almighty 
God:  walk  before  me,  and  be  thou 
perfect. 

Exod.  vi,  3.  And  I  appeared 
unto  Abraham,  unto  Isaac,  and 
unto  Jacob,  by  the  name  of  God 
Amighty;  but  by  my  name  JE- 


HOVAH was  I  not  known  to 
them. 

Deut.  iii,  24.  O  Lord  God,  thou 
hast  begun  to  shew  thy  servant 
thy  greatness,  and  thy  mighty 
liand:  for  what  God  is  there  in 
heaven  or  in  earth  that  can  do 
according  to  thy  works,  and  ac- 
cording to  thy  might? 

Deut.  xxxii,  39 Neither 

is  there  any  that  can  deliver  out  of 
my  hand. 

2  Sam.  xxli,  33.  God  is  my 
strength  and  power,  and  he  mak- 
eth my  way  perfect. 

1  Chron.  xvi,  27.  Glory  and  hon- 
our are  in  his  presence;  strength 
and  gladness  are  in  his  place. 

1  ghron.  xxix,  11,  12.  Thine,  O 
Lord,  is  the  greatness,  and  the 
power,  and  the  glory,  and  the 
victory,  and  the  majesty:  for  all 
that  is  in  the  heaven  and  in  the 
earth  is  thine;  thine  is  the  king- 
dom, O  Lord,  and  thou  art  exalted 
as  head  above  all.  Both  riclies 
and  honour  come  of  thee,  and  thou 
reignest  over  all;  and  in  thine 
hand  is  power  and  might;  and  in 
thine  hand  it  is  to  make  great,  and 
to  give  strength  unto  all. 

2  ghron.  xx,  6.  And  said,  O  Lord 
God  of  our  fathers,  art  not  thou 
God  in  heaven?  and  rulest  not 
tl»u  over  all  the  kingdoms  of  the 
heathen?  and  in  thine  hand  is 
there  not  power  and  might,  so  that 
none  is  able  to  withstand  thee? 

Job  ix,  4, 12, 13, 19.  He  is  wise  in 
heart,  and  mighty  in  strength:  who 
hath  hardened  himself  against 
him,  and  hath  prospered?  Behold, 
he  taketh  away,  who  can  hinder 
him?  who  will  say  unto  him.  What 
doest  thou?  //  God  will  not  with- 
draw his  anger,  the  proud  helpers 
do  stoop  under  him.  If  I  speak 
of  strength,  lo,  he  is  strong:  and  if 
of  judgment,  who  shall  set  me  a 
time  to  plead? 

Job  xi,  10.  If  he  cut  off,  and  shut 
up,  or  gather  together,  then  who 
can  hinder  him? 

Job  xii,  14.  Behold,  he  breaketh 
down,  and  it  cannot  be  built 
again;  he  shutteth  up  a  man;  and 
there  can  be  no  opening. 

Job  XXV,  2.  Dominion  and  fear 
are  with  him;  he  maketh  peace  in 
his  high  places. 

Job  xxvii,  22.  For  God  shall 
cast  upon  him,  and  not  spare:  he 
would  fain  flee  out  of  his  hand. 

Job  xxxiii,  13.  Why  dost  thou 
strive  against  him?  for  he  giveth 
not  account  of  any  of  his  mat- 
ters. 

Job  xxxiv,  29.  When  he  giveth 
quietness,  who  then  can  make 
trouble?  and  when  he  hideth  his 
face,  who  then  can  behold  him? 
wliether  it  be  dene  against  a  mv- 
tion,  or  against  a  iuau  only. 


GOD.

canst  do  every  thing,  and  that  no 
thought  can  be  withholden  from 
thee.

Lord,  in  thine  own  strength:  so 
will  we  sing  and  praise  thy  power. 

Ps.  xxvii,  1.  The  Loed  is  my 
light,  and  my  salvation;  whom 
shall  I  fear?  the  Lord  is  the 
strength  of  my  life;  of  whom  shall 
I  be  afraid? 

Ps.  xxviii,  8.  The  Lord  is  their 
strength,  and  he  is  the  saving 
strength  of  his  anointed. 

Ps.  xxix,  1,  4, 11.  Give  unto  the 
Lord,  O  ye  mightj',  give  unto  tlie 
Loud  glory  and  strength.  The 
voice  of  the  Lord  is  powerful;  the 
voice  of  the  Lord  is  full  of  majes- 
ty; The  Lord  avIII  give  strengih 
unto  his  people;  the  Lord  will 
bless  his  people  with  peace. 

Ps,  xlvi,  7.  The  Lord  of  hosts  is 
with  us;  the  God  of  Jacob  is  our 
refuge.    Selah. 

Ps.  1, 1.  The  mighty  God,  even 
the  Lord,  hath  spoken,  and  called 
the  earth,  from  the  rising  of  the 
sun  unto  the  going  down  thereof. 

Ps.  Ixii,  11.  God  hath  spoken 
once;  twice  have  I  heard  this,  that 
power  belongeth  unto  God. 

Ps.  Ixvi,  3, 7.  Say  unto  God,  How 
terrible  art  thou  in  thy  Works! 
through  the  greatness  of  thy 
power  shall  thine  enemies  submit 
themselves  unto  thee,  He  ruleth 
by  his  power  for  ever;  his  eyes  be- 
hold the  nations:  let  not  the  rebel- 
lious exalt  themselves.    Selah. 

Ps.  Ixxii,  18.  Blessed  he  the 
Lord  God,  the  God  of  Israel,  who 
only  doeth  wondrous  things. 

Ps.  Ixxxix,  8,  13,  17,  18.  O  Lord 
God  of  hosts,  who  is  a  strong 
Loed  like  unto  thee?  or  to  thy 
faithfulness  round  about  thee? 
Thou  hast  a  mighty  arm:  strong 
is  thy  hand,  and  high  is  thy  right 
hand.  For  thou  art  the  glory  of 
their  strength;  and  in  thy  favour 
our  horn  shall  be  exalted.  For 
the  Lord  is  our  defence;  and  the 
Holy  One  of  Israel  is  our  King. 

Ps.  xc,  11.  Who  knoweth  the 
power  of  thine  anger?  even  ac- 
cording to  thy  fear,  so  is  thy 
wrath.

Ps.  0x1  vii,  6.  Great  is  our  Lord, 


and  of  great  powen  his  under- 
standing is  infinite. 

Eccles.  vi,  10.  That  which  hath 
been  is  named  already,  and  it  is 
known  that  it  is  man:  neither  may 
he  contend  with  him  that  is 
mightier  than  he. 

Isa.  xl,  29.  He  giveth  power  to 
the  faint;  and  to  them  that  have

V)as,  I  am  he;  and  there  is  none 
that  can  deliver  out  of  my  hand: 
I  will  work,  and  who  shall  let  it? 

Isa.  xlv,  9.  Woe  tmto  him  that 
striveth  with  his  Maker!  Let  the 
potsherd  strive  with  the  potsherds 
of  the  earth.  Shall  the  clay  say 
to  him  that  fashioneth  it.  What 
makest  thou?  or  thy  work,  He 
hath  no  hands? 

Isa.  1,  2.  Wherefore,  when  I 
came,  teas  there  no  man?  when  I 
called,  tvas  there  none  to  answer? 
Is  my  hand  shortened  at  all,  that 
it  cannot  redeem?  or  have  I  no 
power  to  deliver?  behold,  at  my 
rebuke  I  dry  up  the  sea,  I  make 
the  rivers  a  wilderness:  their  fish 
stinketh,  because  there  is  no 
water,  and  dieth  for  thirst. 

Jer.  xxxii,  17-19,  27.  Ah  Lord 
God!  behold,  thou  hast  made  the 
heaven  and  the  earth  by  thy 
great  power  and  stretched-out 
arm,  and  there  is  nothing  too 
hard  for  thee;  Thou  shewest 
loving-kindness  unto  thousands, 
and  recorapensest  the  iniquity  of 
the  fathers  into  the  bosom  of  their 
children  after  them:  The  Great, 
the  Mighty  God,  The  Lord  of 
hosts,  is  his  name;  Great  in 
counsel,  and  mighty  in  work:  (for 
thine  eyes  are  open  upon  all  the 
ways  of  the  sons  of  men;  to  give 
every  one  according  to  his  ways, 
and  according  to  the  fruit  of  his 
doings:)  Behold,  I  am  the  Lord, 
the  God  of  all  flesh:  is  there  any 
thing  too  hard  for  me? 

Jer.  1,  44.  Behold,  he  shall  come 
up  like  a  lion  from  the  swelling  of 
Jordan  unto  the  habitation  of  the 
strong;  but  I  will  make  them 
suddenly  run  away  from  her:  and 
who  is  a  chosen  man,  that  I  may 
appoint  over  her?  for  who  is  like 
me?  and  who  will  appoint  me  the 
time?  and  who  is  that  shepherd 
that  will  stand  before  me? 

Ezek.  xxii,  14.  Can  thine  heart 
endure,  or  can  thine  hands  be 
strong,  in  the  days  that  I  shall 
deal  wijh  thee?  1  the  Lord  have 
spoken  it,  and  will  do  it. 

Dan.  II,  20.  Daniel  answered 
and  said,  Blessed  be  the  name  of 
God  for  ever  and  ever;  for  wisdom 
and  might  are  his. 

Dan.  iv,  35.  And  all  the  inhabi- 
tants of  the  earth  are  reputed  as 
nothing:  and  he  doeth  according 
to  his  will  in  the  army  of  heaven, 


and  among  the  inhabitants  of  the 
earth;  and  none  can  stay  his  hand, 
or  say  unto  him,  What  doest 
thou? 

Hab.  iii,  4.  And  his  bright- 
ness  was  as  the  light;  he  had 
horns  coming  out  of  his  hand:  and 
there  was  the  hiding  of  his 
power. 

Matth.  xix,  26.  But  Jesus  beheld 
them,  and  said  unto  them.  With 
men  this  is  impossible;  but  with 
God  all  things  are  possible. 

Luke  i,  37.  For  with  God  noth- 
ing shall  be  impossible. 

1  Cor.  i,  25.  Because  the  foolish- 
ness of  God  is  wiser  than  men; 
and  the  weakness  of  God  is 
stronger  than  men. 

Eph.  iii,  20,  21.  Now  unto  him 
that  is  able  to  do  exceeding 
abundantly  above  all  that  we  ask 
or  think,  according  to  the  power 
that  worketh  in  us,  Unto  him  be 
glory  in  the  church  by  Christ 
Jesus,  throughout  all  ages,  world 
without  end.    Amen. 

Eph.-vi,  10.  Finally,  my  brethren, 
be  strong  in  the  Lord,  and  in  the 
power  of  his  might. 

Bev.  i,  8. 1  am  Alpha  and  Omega, 
the  beginning  and  the  ending, 
saith  the  Lord,  which  is,  and 
which  was,  and  which  is  to  come, 
the  Almighty. 

Bev.  xi,  17.  Saying,  We  give 
thee  thanks,  O  Lord  God  Al- 
niightj',  which  art,  and  wast,  and 
art  to  come;  because  thou  hast

Lord,  thou  preservest  man  and 
beast. 

Ps.  xlvlil,  10.  According  to  thy 
name,  O  God,  so  is  thy  praise  unto

hand  is  full  of  righteousness. 

Ps.  Ixxi,  19.  Thy  righteousness

Jer.  ix,  24  But  let  him  that 
glorieth,  glory  in  this,  that  he  un- 
derstandeth  and  knoweth  me,  that 
I  am  the  Lord  which  exercise 
loving-kindness,  judgment,  and 
righteousness,  in  the  earth:  for  in 
these  things  I  delight,  saith  the 
Lord 

Jer.  xii,  1.  Righteous  art  thou, 
O  Lord,  when  1  plead  with  thee; 
yet  let  me  talk  with  thee  of  thy 
judgments 

Jer.  1,  7.  All  that  found  them 
have  devoured  them;  and  their  ad- 
versaries said,  We  ofleud  not,  be- 
cause they  have  sinned  against 
the  Lord,  the  habitation  of  jus- 
tice  

Ezek.  xvUI,  29.   Yet  saith  the 


GOD, 


house  of  Israel,  The  way  of  the 
Lord  is  iiot  equal.  O  house  of 
Israel,  are  not  my  ways  equal?  are 
not  your  ways  unequal? 

Zeph.  ill,  5.  The  just  Lord  is  in 
the  midst  thereof;  he  will  not  do 
Iniquity:  every  morning  doth  he 
bring  his  judgment  to  light,  he 
faileth  not;  but  the  unjust  know- 
eth  no  shame. 

Acts  X,  34, 35.  Then  Peter  opened 
Ms  mouth,  and  said,  Of  a  truth  I 
perceive  that  God  is  no  respecter 
of  persons:  But  in  every  nation 
he  that  feareth  him,  and  worketh 
righteousness,  is  accepted  with 
him. 

Eom.  ii.  2,  3, 11.  But  we  are  sure 
that  the  judgment  of  God  is  ac- 
cording to  truth  against  them 
which  commit  such  tilings.  And 
thinkest  thou  this,  O  man,  tliat 
judgest  them  which  do  such  things. 
and  doest  the  same,  that  thou 
Bhalt  escape  the  judgment  of  God? 
For  there  is  no  respect  of  persons 
with  God. 

Rom.  iii,  5,  6.  But  if  our  unright- 
teousness  commend  the  right- 
eousness of  God,  what  shall  we 
Bay?  Is  God  unrighteous  who 
taketh  vengeance?  (I  speak  as  a 
man)  God  forbid;  for  then  how 
Shall  God  judge  the  world? 

Ephes.  vi,  9 Neither  is 

there  respect  of  persons  with  him. 

Heb.  vi,  10.  For  God  is  not  un- 
righteous, to  forget  your  work  and 
labour  of  love,  which  ye  have 
shewed  toward  his  name,  in  that 
ye  have  ministered  to  the  saints, 
and  do  minister. 

1  Peter  i,  17.  And  if  ye  call  on 
the  Father,  who  without  respect 
of  persons  judgeth  according  to 
every  man's  work,  pass  the  time  of 
your  sojourning  here  in  fear. 

1  John  i,  9.  If  we  confess  our 
sins,  he  is  faithful  and  just  to  for- 
give us  our  sins,  and  to  cleanse  us 
from  all  unrighteousness. 

Rev.  XV,  3.  And  they  sing  the 
song  of  Mosos  the  servant  of  God, 
and  the  song  of  the  Lamb,  saying, 
Great  and  marvellous  are  thy 
works,  Lord  God  Almighty;  just 
and  true  are  thy  ways,  thou  King 
of  saints.

of  the  least  of  all  the  mercies,  and

my  staff  I  passed  over  this  Jordan, 
and  now  I  am  become  two  bands 

Exod.  xxxiv,  6.  And  the  Lord 
passed  by  before  him,  and  pro-

ing, and  abundant  in  goodness  and 
truth.

ments, to  a  thousand  generations. 

Deut.  ix,  5.  Not  for  thy  right- 
eousness, or  for  the  uprightness  of 
thine  heart,  dost  thou  go  to  pos- 
sess their  land;  but  for  the  wick- 
edness of  these  nations  tlie  Loud 
thy  God  doth  drive  them  out 
from  before  thee,  and  that  he  may 
perform  the  word  which  the  Lord 
sware  unto  thy  fathers,  Abraham, 
Isaac,  and  Jacob. 

Dcui.  xxxii,  4.  He  is  the  Eock, 
his  work  is  perfect;  for  all  his  ways 
are  judgment:  a  God  of  truth  and 
without  iniquity,  just  and  right  is 
he. 

1  Kings  viii,  15,  20,  24.  And  he 
said,  Blessed  be  the  Lord  God  of 
Israel,  which  spake  with  his 
mouth  unto  David  my  father,  and

saying,  And  the  Lord  hath  per- 
formed his  word  that  he  spake;

David  my  father,  and  sit  on  the 
throne  of  Israel,  as  the  Lord  pro- 
mised, and  have  built  an  house 
for  the  name  of  the  Lord  God  of 
Israel.  Who  hast  kept  with  thy 
servant  David  my  father  that

fulfilled  it  with  thine  hand,  as  it

unto  the  third  and  fourth  genera- 
tion of  them  that  hate  me.

imagination  of  mine  heart,  to  add 
drunkenness  to  thirst.  The  Lord 
will  not  spare  him,  but  then  the 
anger  of  the  Lord  and  his  jealousy

fire  is  kindled  in  mine  anger.  Is  not 
this  laid  up  in  store  with  me,  ajid 
sealed  up  among  my  treasures? 
To  me  belongeth  vengeance  and 
recompence;  their  foot  shall  slide 
in  diie  time:  for  the  day  of  their 
calamity  is  at  hand,  and  the 
things  that  shall  come  upon  them 
make  haste.  Rejoice,  0  ye  nations, 
with  his  people;  lor  he  will  avenge

of  the  Loud  cometh,  cruel  both 
with  wrath  and  fierce  anger,  to 
lay  the  land  desolate;  and  he  sliail 
destroy  the  sinners  thereof  out  of 
it.  Therefore  I  will  shake  the  liea- 
vens,  and  the  earth  shall  remove 
out  of  her  place,  in  the  wrath  of 
the  Lord  of  hosts,  and  in  the  day 
of  his  fierce  anger. 

Isa.  XXX,  27.  Behold,  the  name 
of  the  Lord  cometh  from  far,

tongue  as  a  devouring  fire.

he  shall  stir  up  jealousy  like  a 
man  of  war:  he  shall  cry„  yea, 
roar,  he  shall  prevail  against  his 
enemies.  Who  gave  Jacob  for 
a  spoil,  and  Israel  to  the  robbers? 
did  not  the  Lord,  he  against 
whom  we  have  sinned?  for  they 
would  not  walk  in  his  ways, 
neither  were  they  obedient  unto 
his  law.  Therefore  he  hath 
poured  upon  him  the  fury  of  his 
anger,  and  the  strength  of  battle: 
and  it  hath  set  him  on  fire  round 
about,  yet  he  knew  not;  and  it 
burned  him,  yet  he  laid  it  not  to 
heart. 

Isa.  Ixvi,  6,  14.  A  voice  of 
Qolse  from  the  city,  a  voice  from 
'  the  temple,  a  voice  of  the  Lord 
that  rendereth  recompence  to  his 
Bnemies.  And  when  ye  see  this, 
your  heart  shall  rejoice,  and  your 
bones  shall  flourish  Ukean  herb; 
and  the  hand  of  the  Lord  shall 
be  known  toward  his  servants, 
and  his  indignation  tov/ard  his 
enemies 

Jer.  X,  10 At  his  wrath 

the  earth  shall  tremble,  and  the 
nations  shall  not  be  able  to  abide 
Ills  indignation. 


Jer.  xviii.  23.  Yet,  Lord,  thon 
kuDWest  all  their  counsel  against 
me  to  slay  me:  forgive  not  their

sin  from  thy  sight;  but  let  them 
be  overthrown  before  thee:  deal 
thus  with  them  in  the  time  of 
thine  anger. 

Jer.  XXX.  24.  The  fierce  anger  of 
the  Lord  sliall  not  return,  until

consider  it.

fierce  anger  all  the  horn  of  Israel: 
he  hath  drawn  back  his  right 
hand  from  before  the  enemy,  and 
he  burned  against  Jacob  like  a 
flaming  fire,  which  devoureth 
round  about. 

Lam.  ill,  43.  Thou  hast  covered 
with  anger,  and  persecuted  ns: 
thou  hast  slain,  thou  hast  not 
pitied. 

Lam.  Iv,  11.  The  Lord  hath 
accomplished  his  fury;  he  hatli 
poured  out  his  fierce  anger,  and 
hath  kindled  a  fire  in  Zion,  and 
it  hath  devoured  the  foundaticos 
thereof. 

Ezek.  V,  13, 15.  Thus  shall  mine 
anger  be  accomplished,  and  I  will 
cause  my  fury  to  rest  upon  th(^m,

shall  know  that  I  the  Lord  have 
spoken  it  in  my  zeal,  when  I  have 
accomplished  my  fury  in  them. 
So  it  shall  be  a  reproach  and  a 
taunt,  an  instruction  and  an 
astonidiment,  unto  the  nations 
that  are  round  about  thee,  when 
I  shall  execute  judgments  in 
thee,  in  anger  and  in  fury,  and  in 
furious  rebukes.  I  the  Loto  have 
spoken  it.

come  upon  thee,  and  I  will  send

fore concerning  the  land  of  Israel, 
and  say  unto  the  mountains,  and 
to  the  lulls,  to  the  rivers,  and  to

God,  Behold,  I  have  spoken  in  my 
jealousy,  and  in  my  fury,  because 
ye  have  borne  the  shame  of  the 
heathen. 

Ezek.  xxxviii,  19.  For  In  my 
jealousy,  and  in  the  fire  of  my 
wrath,  have  I  spoken.  Surely  in

vengeth,  and  is  furious;  the  Lord

his  enemies.  Who  can  stand  be- 
fore his  indignation?  and  who  can 
abide  in  the  fierceness  of  his 
anger?  his  fury  is  poured  out  like 
fire,  and  the  rocks  are  thrown 
down  by  him. 

Zeph.  iii,  8.  Therefore  wait  ye 
upon  me,  saith  the  Lord,  until  the 
day  that  I  rise  up  to  the  prey;  for 
my  determination  ^sto  gather  the 
nations,  that  I  may  assemble  the 
kingdoms,  to  pour  upon  them  mine

for  ever. 

Ps.  cxlvi,  5,  6.  Happy  is  he  that 
hath  the  God  of  Jacob  for  his  help,

the  sea,  and  all  that  in  them  is.

pear. 

Bev.  iv,  11.  Thou  art  worthy,  O 
Lord,  to  receive  glory,  and  hon-

created  all  things,  and  for  thy 
pleasure  they  are  and  werecreated,

our  hkeness;  and  let  them  have 
dominion  over  the  fish  of  the  sea, 
and  over  the  fowl  of  the  air,  and 
over  the  cattle,  and  over  all  the 
earth,  and  over  every  creeping 
thing  that  creepeth  upon  the 
earth.  So  God  created  man  in 
his  own  image:  in  the  image  of 
God  created  he  him;  male  and  fe- 
male created  he  them. 

Gen,  il,  7.  And  the  Lord  God 
formed  man  of  the  dust  of  the

became  a  living  soul. 

Gen.  V,  1.  This  is  the  book  of

clay,  and  thou  our  potter;  and  we 
all  are  the  work  of  thy  hand. 

Jer.  xxvii,  5.  I  have  made  the 
earth,  the  man  and  the  beast  that 
are  upon  the  ground,  by  my  great 
power,  and  by  my  outstretclied 
arm,  and  have  given  it  unto  whom 
It  seemed  meet  unto  me. 

Zech.  xii,  1.  The  burden  of  the 
word  of  the  Lord  for  Israel,  saith 
the  Lord,  which  stretcheth  forth

any  understand  the  spreading^  of 
the  clouds,  or  the  noise  of  his 
tabernacle?  Behold,  he  spreadeth 
his  light  upon  it,  and  covereth 
the  bottom  of  the  sea.  With 
clouds  he  coveretli  the  light;  and 
commandeth  it  not  to  shine  by  the 
cloud  that  Cometh  betwixt. 

Job  xxxvii,  11-16.  Also  by  water- 
ing he  wearieth  the  thick  cloud:

And  it  is  turned  round  about  by 
his  counsels;  that  they  may  do 
whatsoever  he  commandeth  them 
upon  the  face  of  the  world  in  the 
earth.  He  causeth  it  to  come, 
whether  for  correction,  or  for  his 
land,  or  for  mercy.  Hearken 
unto  this,  O  Job:  stand  still,  and 
consider  the  wondrous  works  of 
God.  Dost  thou  know  when  God 
disposed  them,  and  caused  the 
light  of  his  cloud  to  shine?  Dost 
thou  know  the  balancings  of  the 
clouds,  the  wondrous  workstof 
him  which  is  perfect  In  know- 
ledge. 

Job  xxxviii,  9,  34,  37.  When  I 
made  the  cloud  the  garment 
thereof,  and  thick  darkness  a 
Bwaddling-band  for  it.  Canst  thou 
lift  up  thy  voice  to  the  clouds, 
that  abundance  of  waters  may 
cover  thee?  Who  can  number  the 
clouds  in  wisdom?  or  who  can 
stay  the  bottles  of  heaven.

whom  I  am  well  pleased:  hear  ye 
him. 

Acts  i,  9.  And  when  he  had 
spoken  these  things,  while  they

were  all  baptized  unto  Moses  in 
the  cloud  and  in  the  sea.

not  reap.

as  a  thick  cloud,  thy  transgres- 
sions, and,  as  a  cloud,  thy  sins:

deemed thee.

fly  as  a  cloud,  and  as  the  doves  to 
their  windows?

ascend  and  come  like  a  storm; 
thou  Shalt  be  like  a  cloud  to 
cover  the  land,  thou,  and  all  thy 
bands,  and  many  people  with 
thee. 

Jlosea  vi,  4.  O  Ephraira,  what 
shall  1  do  unto  thee?  O  Judah, 
what  shall  I  do  unto  thee?  for 
your  goodness  is  as  a  morning 
cloud,  and  as  the  early  dew  it 
goeth  away. 

Bosea  xiii,  8.  Therefore  they 
shall  be  as  the  morning  cloud, 
and  as  the  early  dew  that  passeth 
away 

jffeb.  xii,  1.  Wherefore,  seeing 
we  also  are  compassed  about  with 
so  great  a  cloud  of  witnesses,  let 
us  lay  aside  every  weiglit,  and  the 
sin  which  doth  so  easily  beset  us, 
and  let  us  run  with  patience  the 
race  that  is  set  before  us.

daij  of  the  month;  and  all  the 
people  sat  in  the  street  of  the 
house  of  God,  trembling  because 
of  this  matter,  and  for  the  great 
rain.  But  the  people  are  many, 
and  it  is  a  time  of  much  rain;  and 
we  are  not  able  to  stand  without,

herb  to  spring  forth?

the  earth,  and  waterest  it:  thou 
greatly  enrlchest  It  with  the  river 


of  Go6,toMch  l3  fullof  waten  thou 
preparest  them  corn,  when  thou 
hast  so  provided  for  it.  Thou 
waterest  the  ridges  thereof  abun- 
dantly; thou  settlest  the  furrows 
thereof;  thou  makest  it  soft  with 
showers 

Fs.  Ixviii,  9.  Thou,  O  God,  didst 
send  a  plentiful  rain,  whereby

may  give  seed  to  the  sower,  and 
bread  to  the  eater.

when  there  were  yet  three  months

piece  was  rained  upon,  and  the 
piece  whereupon  it  rained  not 
withered.  So  two  or  three  cities

water;  but  they  were  not  satisfied: 
yet  have  ye  not  returned  unto 
me,  saith  the  Lord.

Zech.  xiv,  8.  And  it  shall  be  in 
that  day,  that  living  waters  shall 
go  out  from  Jerusalem;  half  of 
them  toward  the  former  sea,  and 
half  of  them  toward  the  hinder

1  Kings  xviii,  41,  43-45.  And 
Elijah  said  unto  Ahab,  Get  thee 
up,  eat  and  drink;  for  there  is  a 
sound  of  abundance  of  rain.  And 
[Elijah]  said  to  his  servant,  Go  up 
now,  look  toward  the  sea.  And 
be  went  up,  and  looked, and  said, 
There  is  nothing.  And  he  said, 
Go  again  seven  times.  And  it 
came  to  pass  at  the  seventh  time, 
that  he  said,  Behold,  there  ariseth 
a  little  cloud  out  of  the  sea,  like  a 
man's  hand.  And  he  said,  Go  up, 
say  unto  Ahab,  Prepare  tJiy 
chariot,  and  get  thee  down,  that 
the  rain  stop  thee  not.  And  it 
came  to  pass  in  the  mean  while, 
that  the  heaven  was  black  with 
clouds  and  wind,  and  there  was  a 
great  rain. 

Job  xxxvi,  33.  The  noise  thereof 
she  weth  concerning  it,  ilie  cattle 
also  concerning  the  vapour. 

Job  xxxvii,  22.  And  now  men 
see  not  the  bright  light  which  is 
in  the  clouds;  but  the  wind  pass- 
eth,  and  cleanseth  them.  Fair 
weather  cometh  out  of  the  north. 

Prov.  xxv,  23.  The  north  wind 
driveth  away  rain;  so  doth  an 
angry  countenance  a  backbiting 
tongue. 

Matth.  xvi,  2,  3.  He  answered 
and  said  unto  them,  When  it  is 
evening,  ye  say.  It  taill  be  fair 
weather,  for  the  sky  is  red:  And 
in  the  morning,  It  will  be  foul 
weather  to-day;  for  the  sky  is  red 
and  lowring.  O  ye  hj  pocrites,  ye 
can  discern  the  face  of  the  sky; 
but  can  ye  not  discern  the  signs 
of  the  times? 

Luke  xii,  54-57.  And  he  said 
also  to  the  people,  When  ye  see  a 
cloud  rise  out  of  the  west, 
straightway  ye  say.  There  cometh 
a  shower,  and  so  it  is.  And  when 
ye  see  the  south  wind  blow,  ye 
say,  There  will  be  heat;  and  it 
cometh  to  pass.  Ye  hypocrites, 
ye  can  discern  the  face  of  the  sky 
and  of  the  earth;  but  how  is  it 
that  ye  do  not  discern  this  timt>? 
Yea,  and  why  ev«n  of  yourselves 
judge  ye  nut  what  is  right?

Gen.  II,  5.  6.  And  every  plant  of 
the  field  before  it  was  in  the  earth, 
and  every  herb  of  the  flold  before 
it  grew:  lor  the  Lord  God  had  not 
caused  it  to  rain  upon  the  earth,

leave  the  stump  of  his  roots  in 
the  earth,  even  with  a  band  of

the  grass  of  the  earth.

dew  unto  Israel:  he  shall  grow  as 
the  lily,  and  cast  forth  his  roots  as

3Iicah  V,  7.  And  the  remnant  of 
Jacob  shall  be  in  the  midst  of 
many  people  as  a  dew  from  the 
Lord,  as  the  showers  upon  the 
grass,  that  tarrieth  not  for  man, 
uor  waiteth  for  the  sous  of  men.

A  DESCRIPTION  OF  A 
THUNDERSTORM. 
Ps  xxix,  1-11.  Give  unto  the 
Lord,  O  ye  mighty,  give  unto  the 
Lord  glory  and  strength.  Give 
unto  the  Lord  the  glory  due  unto 
his  name:  worship  tlie  Lord  in  the 
beauty  of  holiness.  The  voice  of 
the  Lord  is  upon  the  waters:  the 
God  of  glory  tliundereth;  the  Lord 
is  upon  many  waters.  The  voice 
of  the  Lord  is  powerful;  the  voice 
of  the  Lord  is  full  of  majesty.  The 
voice  of  tlie  Lord  breaketh  the 
cedars;  yea,  the  Lord  breaketh 
the  cedars  of  Lebanon.  He  mak- 
eth  them  also  to  skip  like  a  calf; 
Lebanon  and  Sirion  like  a  young 
unicorn.  The  voice  of  the  Lord 
divideth  the  flames  of  fire.  The 
voice  of  the  Lord  shaketh  the 
wilderness;  tlie  Lord  shaketh  the 
wilderness  of  Kadesh.  The  voice 
of  the  Lord  maketh  the  hinds  to 
calve,  and  discovereth  the  forests: 
and  in  his  temple  doth  every  one 
speak  of  his  glory.  The  Lord  sit- 
teth  upon  the  flood;  yea,  the  Lord 
sitteth  King  for  ever.  The  Lord 
will  give  strength  unto  his  people; 
the  Lord  will  bless  his  people  with 
peace. 

HAIL. 

Exod.  ix,  18.  Behold,  to-morrow 
about  this  time,  I  will  cause  it  to 
rain  a  very  grievous  hail,  such  as 
hath  not  been  in  Egypt  since  the 
foundation  thereof  even  until 
now. 


HEAVEN. 

Joshua  X,  11.  And  it  came  to  i 
pass,  as  they  ned  from  before 
Israel,  and  were  in  the  going  1 
down  to  Beth-horon,  that  the 
Lord  cast  down  great  stones 
from  heaven  upon  them  unto 
Azekah,  and  they  died:  they  were 
more  which  died  with  hail-stones 
than  they  whom  the  children  of 
Israel  slew  with  the  sword. 

P3.  Ixxviii,  47,  48.  He  destroyed 
their  vines  with  hail,  and  their 
sycamore  trees  with  frost.  He 
gave  up  their  cattle  also  to  the 
hail 

Isa.  xxviii,  2,  17.  Behold,  the 
Lord  hath  amightyand  strong  one, 
which,  as  a  tempest  of  hail,  and 
a  destroying  storm,  as  a  flood  of 
mighty  waters  overflowing,  shall 
cast  down  to  the  earth  with  the 
hand.  Judgment  also  will  I  lay  to 
the  line,  and  righteousness  to  the 
plummet;  and  the  hail  shall  sweep 
away  the  refuge  of  lies,  and  tlie 
waters  shall  overflow  the  hiduig- 
place. 

Isa.  xxxii,  19.  When  it  slmll 
hail,  coming  down  on  the  forest; 
and  the  city  shall  be  low  in  a  low 
place. 

Ezek.  xiii,  13.  Therefore  thus 
saith  the  Lord  God;  I  will  even 
rend  it  with  a  stormy  wind  in  my 
fury;  and  there  shall  be  an  over- 
flowing shower  in  mine  anger, 
and  great  hailstones  in  viy  fury, 
to  consume  it. 

Ezek.  xxxviii,  22.  And  I  will 
plead  against  him  with  pestilence 
and  with  blood;  and  J  will  rain 
upon  him,  and  upon  his  bands, 
and  upon  the  many  people  that 
are  with  him,  an  overflowing  rain, 
and  great  hailstones,  fire,  and 
brimstone. 

Ilaggai  ii,  17.  I  smote  you  with 
blasting,  and  with  mildew,  and 
with  hail,  in  all  the  labours  of 
your  hands;  yet  ye  turned  not  to 
me,  saith  the  Lord. 

Rev.  viii,  7.  The  first  angel 
sounded,  and  there  followed  hail 
and  flre  mingled  with  blood,  and 
they  were  cast  upon  the  earth: 
and  the  third  part  of  trees  was 
burnt  up,  and  all  green  grass  was 
burnt  up, 

Bev.  xvi,  21.  And  there  fell  up- 
on men  a  great  hail  out  of  heaven, 
every  stone  about  the  weight  of  a 
talent:  and  men  blasphemed  God 
because  of  the  plague  of  the  hail; 
for  the  plague  thereof  was  exceed- 
ing great. 

SNOW. 

Job  Ix,  30.  If  I  wash  myself 
with  snow-water,  and  make  my 
hands  never  so  clean. 

Job  xxxvii,  6.  For  he  saith  to 
the  snow.  Be  thou  on  the  earth; 
likewise  to  the  small  rain,  and  to 
the  great  rain  of  Ins  strength. 

.^nb  xxxviii,  22,  23.    Hast   thou 
2C1 


entered  into  the  treasures  of  the 
snow;  or  hast  thou  seen  the  treas- 
ures of  the  hail,  Which  I  have 
reserved  against  the  time  of 
trouble,  against  the  day  of  battle 
and  war? 

Fs.  li,  7.  Purge  me  AVith  hyssop, 
and  I  shall  be  clean;  wash  me, 
and  I  shall  be  whiter  than  snow. 

Fs.  Ixviii,  14.  When  the  Al- 
mighty scattered  kings  in  it,  it 
was  white  as  snow  in  balm  on.

Cometh  down,  and  the  snow  from 
heaven,  and  returneth  not  thither, 
but  watereth  the  earth 

Jer.  xviii,  14.  Will  a  man  leave 
the  snow  of  Lebanon  which 
Cometh  from  the  rock  of  the  field? 
or  shall  the  cold  flowing  waters 
that  come  from  another  place  be 
forsaken? 

Matth.  xxviii,  3.  His  counten- 
ance was  like  lightning,  and  his 
raiment  white  as  snow.

TURE. 

G^ew.  viii,  22.  While  the  earth 
remaineth,  ....  cold  and  heat,

and  night  shall  not  cease. 

Exod.  xvi,  14.  And  when  the 
dew  that  lay  was  gone  up,  behold, 
upon  the  face  of  the  wilderness 
there  lay  a  small  round  thing,  as 
small  as  the  hoar-frost,  on  the 
ground. 

Job  vi,  17.  What  time  they  wax 
warm,  they  vanish;  when  it  is 
hot,  they  are  consumed  out  of 
their  place. 

Job  xxxvii,  9, 10, 17.  Out  of  the 
south  cometh  the  whirlwind;  and 
cold  out  of  the  north.  By  the 
breath  of  God  frost  is  given;  and 
the  breadth  of  the  waters  is 
straitened.  How  thy  garments 
are  warm,  when  he  quieteth  the 
earth  by  the  south  wind  ? 

Job  xxxviii,  29,  SO.  Out  of  ^^  hose 
womb  came  the  ice?  and  the  hoary 
frost  of  heaven,  who  hath  gen- 
dered it?  The  waters  are  hid  as 
with  a  stone,  and  the  lace  of  the 
deep  is  frozen. 

Fs.  cxlvii,  17,  18.  He  casteth 
forth  his  ice  like  morsels:  who 
can  stand  before  his  cold?  He 
sendeth  out  his  word,  and  melteth 
them:  he  causeth  his  wind  to  blow 
and  the  waters  flow. 

Jer.  xxxvi,  30.  Therefore  thus 
saith  the  Lord  of  Jehoiakim  king 
of  Judah,  He  shall  have  none  to 
sit  upon  the  throne  of  David;  and 
his  dead  body  shall  be  cast  out  in 
the  day  to  the  heat,  and  in  the 
niglit  to  the  frost. 

Mark  xiv,  54.  A  nd  Peter  followed

of  the  liigh  priest:  and  he  sat 
with  the  servants,  and  warmed 
himself  at  the  flre.

HEAVENS. 

Oen.  1,  6,  7.  And  God  said.  Let 
there  be  a  Armament  in  the  midst 
of  the  waters,  and  let  it  divide  the 
waters  from  the  waters.  And 
God  made  the  firmament,  and 
divided  tlie  waters  which  were 
under  the  firmament,  from  the 
waters  which  were  above  the 
firmament:  and  it  was  so. 

Job  xxxvii,  18.  Ilast  thou  with 
him  spread  out  the  sky,  lohich  is 
strong,  a7id  as  a  molten  looliing-

THE  HEAVENLY  BODIES. 

Gen.  i,  14-18.  And  God  said, 
Let  tliere  be  lights  in  the  firma- 
ment of  the  heaven,  to  divide  the 
day  from  the  niglit;  and  let  them 
be  for  signs,  and  for  seasons,  and 
for  (lays,  and  years:  And  let  them 
be  for  lights  in  the  firmament  of 
the  heaven,  to  give  light  upon  the 
earth:  and  it  was  so.  And  God 
made  two  great  lights;  the  greater 
light  to  rule  the  day,  and  the 
lesser  light  to  rule  the  night:  he 
made  the  stars  also.  And  God 
set  them  in  the  firmament  of  the 
heaven,  to  give  light  upon  the 
earth.  And  to  rule  over  the  day 
and  over  the  night,  and  to  divide 
the  light  from  the  darkness:  and 
God  saw  that  it  laas  good. 

Ps.  xix,  5,  6.  Which  [the  sun]  is 
as  a  bridegroom  coming  out  ot 
his  chamber,  and  rejoiceth  as  a 
strong  man  to  run  a  race.  His 
going  forth  is  from  the  end  of  the 
heaven,  and  his  circuit  unto  the 
ends  of  it.  .  .  . 

Fs.  civ,  19.  He  appointed  the 
moon  for  seasons;  the  sun  know- 
eth  his  going  down. 

1  Qor.  XV,  40,  41.  There  are  also 
celestial  bodies,  and  bodies  ter- 
restrial: but  the  glory  of  the 
celestial  is  one,  and  the  glory  of 
the  terrestrial  is  another.  There 
is  one  glory  of  the  sun,  and 
another  glory  of  the  moon,  and 
another  glory  of  the  stars;  for  one 
star  differeth  from  another  star 
in  glory. 

Fs.  Ixxli,  5,  7.  They  shall  fear 
thee  as  long  as  the  sun  and  moon 
endure,  throughout  all  genera- 
tions. In  his  days  shall  the  right- 
eous flourish;  and  abundance  of 
peace  so  long  as  the  moon  endur- 
eth. 

Fs.  cxxl,  6.  The  sun  shall  not 
stidte  thee  by  day,  nor  the  moon 
by  night

light  of  the  moon  shall  be  as  the 
light  of  the  sun,  and  the  light  of

REFLECTIONS. 

Ps.  viii,  3,  4.  When  I  consider 
thy  heavens,  the  work  of  thy 
fingers,  the  moon  and  the  stars, 
which  thou  hast  ordained;  What 
is  man,  that  thou  art  mindful  of 
him?  and  the  son  of  man,  that  thou 
vlsitest  him? 

Ps.  xiK,  1-4.  The  heavens  declare 
the  glory  of  God;  and  the  firma- 
ment showeth  his  handywork. 
Day  unto  day  uttereth  speech, 
and  night  unto  night  showeth 
knowledge.  There  is  no  speech 
nor  language  where  their  voice  is 
not  heard.  Their  line  is  gone  out 
tlirough  all  the  earth,  and  their 
words  to  the  end  of  the  world. . . . 

Fs.  xcvii,  6.  The  heavens  declare 
his  righteousness,  and  all  the 
people  see  his  glory.

made  great  lights:  for  his  mercy 
endureth  for  ever:  The  sun  to 
rule  by  day:  for  his  mercy  endur- 
eth for  ever:  The  moon  and 
stars  to  rule  by  night:  for  his 
mercy  endureth  for  ever. 

Fs.  cxlviii,  3-5.  Praise  ye  him, 
sun  and  moon:  praise  him,  all  ye 
stars  of  light.  Praise  him,  ye 
heavens  of  heavens,  and  ye  waters 
ttiat  &6  above  the  heavens.  Let 
them  praise  the  name  of  the 
Lord:  for  he  commanded,  and 
they  were  created. 

Frov.  XXV,  3.  The  heaven  for 
height,  and  the  earth  for  depth, 
and  the  heart  of  kings  is  unsearch- 
able. 

Jer.  xxxi,  87.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  If  heaven  above  can  be 
measured,  and  the  foundations  of 
the  earth  searched  out  beneutli, 
I  will  also  cast  off  all  the  seed  of 
Israel  for  all  tliat  they  have  done 
saith  the  Loed.  '

commanded  the  morning  since  thy 
days;  and  caused  tlie  day-spring 
to  know  his  place;  That  it  might 
take  hold  of  the  ends  of  the  earth, 
that  the  wicked  might  be  shaken 
out  of  it? 

Fs.  Ixv,  8.  They  also  that  dwell 
in  the  uttermost  parts  are  afraid 
at  thy  toliens:  thou  makest  the 
outgoings  of  the  morning  and 
evening  to  rejoice, 

James  1,  11.  For  the  sun  is  no 
sooner  risen  with  a  burning  heat,

unto  you  that  desire  the  day  of 
the  LordI  to  what  end  is  it  for 
you?  the  day  of  the  Lord  is  dark-

brightness  in  it?

OBJECTS  OF  IDOLATRY. 

1.— THE  HEAVENLY 
LUMINARIES. 

Deut.  iv,  19.  And  lest  thou'llft  up 
thine  eyes  unto  heaven,  and  when 
thou  seest  the  sun,  and  the  moon, 
and  the  stars,  even  all  the  host  of 
heaven,  shouldest  be  driven  to 
worship  them,  and  serve  them, 
which  the  Lord  thy  God  hath 
divided  unto  all  nations  under  the 
whole  heaven. 

2  Kings  xvii,  16.  And  they  left 
all  the  commandments  of  the 
Lord  their  God,  and  made  them 
molten  images,  even  two  calves, 
and  made  a  grove,  and  worship- 
ped all  the  host  of  heaven,  and 
served  Baal. 

2  Kings  xxi,  3, 5.  For  he  built  up 
again  the  high  places  which  Heze- 
kiah  his  father  had  destroyed;  and 
be  reared  up  altars  for  Baal,  and 
made  a  grove,  as  did  Ahab  king 
of  Israel;  and  worshipped  all  the 
host  of  heaven,  and  served  them. 
And  he  built  altars  for  all  the 
host  of  heaven  in  the  two  courts 
of  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

2  Kings  xxiii,  5, 11.  And  he  put 
down  the  idolatrous  priests,  whom 
the  kings  of  Judah  had  ordained 
to  burn  incense  in  the  high  places 
In  the  cities  of  Judah,  and  in  the 
places  round  about  Jerusalem; 
them  also  that  burned  iucen<se  un- 
to Baal, to  the  sun.and  to  the  moon, 
and  to  the  planets,  and  to  all  the 
host  of  heaven.  And  he  took 
away  the  horses  that  the  kings  of 
Judah  had  given  to  the  sun,  at  the 
entering  in  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  by  the  chamber  of  Nathan- 
melech  the  chamberlain,  which 
was  in  the  suburbs,  and  burnt  the 
chariots  of  the  sun  with  fire. 

2  Qhron.  xxxiii,  3, 5.  For  he  built 
again  the  high  places  which  Heze- 
kiah  his  father  had  broken  down, 
and  he  reared  up  altars  for  Baalim, 
and  made  groves,  and  worshipped 
all  the  host  of  heaven,  and  served 
them.  And  he  built  altars  for 
all  the  host  of  heaven  in  the  two 
courts  of  the  house  of  the  Lord, 

Job  xxxi,  26,  28.  If  I  beheld  the 
sun  when  it  shined,  or  the  moon 
walking  in  brightness;  This  also 
were  an  iniquity  to  be  punished  by 
the  judge;  for  I  should  have  denied 
the  God  that  is  above. 


Jer.  vii,  17, 18.  Seest  thou  not 
what  they  do  in  the  cities  of  Ju- 
d  ih,  and  in  the  streets  of  Jerusa- 
lem? The  children  gather  wood, 
and  the  fathers  kindle  the  fire,  and 
the  women  knead  their  dough,  to 
make  cakes  to  the  queen  of 
heaven 

Jer.  xix,  13.  And  the  houses  of 
Jerusalem,  and  the  houses  of  the 
kings  of  Judah,  shall  be  defiled  as 
the  place  of  Tophet,  because  of  all 
the  houses  upon  whose  roofs  they 
have  burned  incense  unto  all  the 
host  of  heaven,  and  have  poured 
out  drink  offerings  unto  other 
gods. 

Jer.  xliv,  17-19.  But  we  will 
certainly  do  whatsoever  thing 
goeth  forth  out  of  our  own  mouth, 
to  burn  incense  unto  the  queen  of 
heaven,  and  to  pour  out  drink- 
offerings  unto  her,  as  we  have 
done,  we,  and  our  fathers,  our 
kings,  and  our  princes,  in  the  cities 
of  Judah,  and  in  the  streets  of 
Jerusalem:  for  then  had  we 
plenty  of  victuals,  and  were  well, 
and  saw  no  evil.  But  since  we 
left  off  to  burn  incense  to  the 
queen  of  heaven,  and  to  pour  out 
drink-offerings  unto  her,  we  have 
wanted  all  things,  and  have  been 
consumed  by  the  sword  and  by 
the  famine.  And  when  we  burnt 
incense  to  the  queen  of  heaven, 
and  poured  out  drink-offerings 
unto  her,  did  we  make  her  cakes 
to  worship  her,  and  pour  out 
drink-offerings  uuto  her,  without 
our  men. 

Ezelc.  viii,  15, 16.  Then  said  he  unto 
me.  Hast  thou  seen  this,  O  son  of 
man?  Turn  thee  yet  again,  and 
thou  Shalt  see  greater  abomina- 
tions than  these.  And  he  brought 
me  into  the  inner  court  of  the 
Lord's  house;  and,  behold,  at  the 
door  of  the  temple  of  the  Lord, 
between  the  porch  and  tlie  altar, 
were  about  five  and  twenty  men, 
with  their  backs  toward  the  temple 
of  the  Lord,  and  their  faces  to- 
ward the  east;  and  they  worship- 
ped the  sun  toward  the  east. 

Zeph.  i,  4,  5.  I  will  also  stretch 
out  mine  hand  upon  Judah,  and 
upon  all  the  inhabitants  of  Jeru- 
salem; and  I  will  cut  off  the  rem- 
nant of  Baal  from  this  place,  and 
the  name  of  the  Chemarims  with 
the  priests;  And  them  that  wor- 
ship the  host  of  heaven  upon  the 
house-tops;  and  them  that  worship 


and  that  swear  by  the  Lord,  and 
that  swear  by  Malcham. 

Acts  vii,  42.  Then  God  turned, 
and  frave  them  up  to  worsliip  the 
host  of  heaven;  as  it  is  written  in 
the  book  of  the  prophets,  O  ye 
house  of  Israel,  have  ye  offered  to 
me  slain  beasts  and  sacrifices  by 
the  space  of  forty  years  in  the  wil- 
derness. 

2.— IMAGES  OR  IDOLS. 

Deut.  ix,  12.  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  me.  Arise,  get  thee  down 
quickly  from  hence;  for  thy  people 
which  thou  hast  brought  forth  out 
of  Egypt  have  corrupted  them- 
selves ;  they  are  quickly  turned 
aside  out  of  the  way  which  I  com- 
manded them;  they  have  made 
them  a  molten  image. 

Judges  xvii,  3,  4.  And  when  he 
had  restored  the  eleven  hundred 
shekels  of  silver  to  his  mother,  his 
mother  said,  I  had  wholly  dedi- 
cated the  silver  unto  the  Lord 
from  my  hand  for  my  son,  to  make 
a  graven  image,  and  a  molten 
image:  now  therefore  I  will  re- 
store it  unto  thee.  Yet  he  restored 
the  money  unto  his  mother;  and 
his  mother  took  two  hundred 
shekels  of  silver,  and  gave  them  to 
the  founder,  who  made  thereof  a 
graven  image,  and  a  molten  image: 
atid  they  were  in  the  house  of 
Micah. 

Isa.  xl,  19,  20.  The  workmai! 
melteth  a  graven  image,  and  the 
goldsmith  spreadeth  it  over  with 
gold,  and  casteth  silver  chains. 
He  that  is  so  impoverished  that  he 
hath  no  oblation  chooseth  a  tree 
that  will  not  rot:  he  seeketh  unto 
him  a  cunning  workman  to  pre- 
pare a  graven  Image,  tliat  shall 
not  be  moved. 

Isa.  xli,  6,  7.  They  helped  every 
one  his  neighbour;  and  every  one 
said  to  his  brother.  Be  of  good 
courage.  So  the  carpenter  en- 
couraged the  goldsmith,  and  he 
that  smootheth  with  the  hammer 
him  that  smote  the  anvil,  saying. 
It  is  ready  for  the  sodering:  and 
he  fastened  it  with  nails,  that  it 
should  not  be  moved. 

Isa.  xliv,  12-14.  The  smith  with 
the  tongs  both  worketh  in  the 
coals,  and  fashioneth  it  with  ham- 
mers, and  worketh  it  with  the 
strength  of  his  arms:  yea,  he  is 
hungry,  and  liis  strength  failetli: 


IDOLATKY— IDOLS. 


he  drlnketh  no  water,  and  is  faint. 
The  carpenter  stretclietli  out  his 
rule,  he  marketh  it  out  with  a  line, 
he  fitteth  it  with  planea,  and  he 
marketh  it  out  with  the  compass, 
and  maketh  it  after  the  figure  of  a 
man,  according  to  the  beauty  of  a 
man,  that  it  may  remain  in  tlie 
house.  He  heweth  him  down 
cedars,  and  taketh  the  cypress 
and  the  oak,  which  he  strength- 
eneth  for  himself  among  the  trees 
of  the  forest:  he  planteth  an  ash, 
and  the  rain  doth  nourish  it. 

Jsa.  xlvi,  6.  They  lavish  gold 
out  of  the  bag,  and  weigh  silver 
in  the  balance,  and  hire  a  gold- 
smith; and  he  maketh  it  a  god: 
they  fall  down,  yea,  they  wor- 
ship. 

Jer.  X,  3, 4.  For  the  customs  of 
the  people  are  vain:  for  one  cut- 
teth  a  tree  out  of  the  forest  (the 
■work  of  the  hands  of  the  work- 
man) with  the  axe:  They  deck 
it  with  silver  and  with  gold;  they 
fasten  it  with  nails  and  with 
hammers,  that  it  move  not. 

Ezek.  vii,  20.  As  for  the  beauty 
of  his  ornament,  he  set  it  in 
majesty;  but  they  made  the  images 
of  their  abominations  and  of  their 
detestable  thinf?s  therein:  there- 
fore have  I  set  it  far  from  them. 

Dan.  iii,  1.  Nebuchadnezzar  the 
king  made  an  image  of  gold, 
whose  height  icas  threescore 
cubits,  and  the  breadth  thereof 
six  cubits:  he  set  it  up  in  the  plain 
of  Dura,  in  the  province  of  Baby- 
lon. 

Bosea  X,  1.  Israel  is  an  empty 
vine,  he  buugetli  forth  fruit  unto 
himself:  accordhig  to  the  multi- 
tude of  ills  fruit  he  hath  increased 
the  altars:  according  to  the  good- 
ne.'S  of  his  land  they  have  made 
goodly  images. 

ActsyiliO.  Saying  unto  Aaron, 
Make  us  gods  to  go  before  us:  for 
as /w  this  Moses,  which  brought 
us  out  of  the  land  of  Egypt,  we 
wot  not  what  is  become  of  him. 

Acts  xvii,  29.  Forasmuch  then 
as  we  are  the  offspring  of  God, 
we  ought  not  to  think  that  the 
Godliead  is  like  unto  gold,  or 
silver,  or  stone,  graven  by  art  and 
man's  device 

Jets  xix,  23-27.  And  the  same 
time  there  arose  no  small  stir 
about  that  way.  For  a  certain 
man,  named  Demetrius,  a  silver- 
smith, which  made  silver  shrines 
for  Diana,  brought  no  small  gu in 
unto  the  craftsmen;  "Whom  he 
called  together  with  the  work- 
men of  like  occupation,  and  said, 
Sirs,  ye  know  that  by  this  craft 
we  have  our  wealth.  Moreover, 
ye  see  and  hear,  that  not  alone  at 
Ephesus,  but  almost  throughout 
all  Asia,  this  Paul  hath  persuaded 
and  turned  away  much  people, 
laying   that  they  be    no    gods 


which  are  made  with  hands:  So 
that  not  only  this  our  craft  is  in 
danger  to  be  set  at  nought;  but 
al,-;o  that  the  temple  of  the  great 
goddess  Diana  should  be  despised, 
and  her  mngnificence  should  be 
destroyed,  whom  all  Asia  and  the 
world  worshippeth. 

8.  MEN  AND  SPIRITS. 

Lev  xvii,  7.  And  they  shall  no 
more  offer  their  sacrifices  unto 
devils,  after  whom  they  have  gone 
a  whoring.  This  shall  be  a  statute 
for  ever  unto  thera  throughout 
their  generations. 

Job  v,  1.  Call  now,  if  there  be 
any  that  will  answer  thee;  and  to 
which  of  the  saints  wilt  thou 
turn? 

Fs.  cvi,  37.  Yea,  they  sacrificed 
their  sons  and  their  daughters 
unto  devils. 

Acts  X,  25,  26.  And  as  Peter  was 
coming  in,  Cornelius  met  him, 
and  fell  down  at  his  feet,  and 
worshipped  him.  But  Peter  took 
him  up,  saying,  Stand  up;  I  myself 
also  am  a  man. 

Acts  xiv,  11-16,  18.  And  when 
the  peopl*  saw  Avhat  Paul  had 
done,  they  lifted  up  their  voices, 
saying  in  the  speech  of  Lycaonia, 
The  gods  are  come  down  to  us  in 
the  likeness  of  men.  And  they 
called  Barnabas,  Jupiter,  and  Paul, 
Mercurms,  because  he  was  the 
chief  speaker.  Then  the  priest  of 
Jupiter,  which  was  before  their 
city,  brought  oxen  and  garlands 
unto  the  gates,  and  would  have 
done  sacrifice  with  the  people. 
Which  when  the  apostles,  Barna- 
bas and  Paul,  heard  of,  they  rent 
their  clothes,  and  ran  in  among 
the  people,  crying  out.  And  say- 
ing, Sirs,  why  do  ye  these  thing.-? 
We  also  are  men  of  like  passions 
with  you,  and  preach  unto  you, 
that  ye  should  turn  from  these 
vanities  unto  the  living  God, 
which  made  heaven,  and  earth, 
and  the  sea,  and  all  things  that 
are  therein:  Who  in  times  past 
suffered  nations  to  walk  in  their 
own  ways.  And  with  these  saj'- 
ings  scarce  restrained  they  the 
people,  that  they  had  not  done 
sacrifice  unto  ihem. 

^ol.  ii,  18.  Let  no  man  beguile 
you  of  your  reward  in  a  voluntary 
humility  and  worshipping  of  an- 
gels, intruding  into  those  things 
which  he  hath  not  seen,  vainly 
puffed  up  by  his  fleshly  mind. 

Hcv.  ix,  20.  And  the  rest  of  the 
men  which  were  not  killed  by 
these  plagues  yet  repented  not  of 
the  works  of  their  hands,  that 
they  should  not  worship  devils, 
and  idols  of  gold,  and  silver,  and 
brass,  and  stone,  and  of  wood; 
which  neither  can  see,  nor  hear, 
nor  walk. 

£ev.  xix,  10.    And  I  feU  at  his 


feet  to  worship  h!m.  And  he  said 
unto  me,  See  thou  do  it  not:  I  am 
thy  fellow-.';ervaut,  and  of  thy 
brethren  that  have  the  testimony 
of  Jesus:  worship  God:  for  the 
testimony  of  Jesus  is  the  spirit  of 
prophecy. 

Rev.  xxii,  8,  9.  And  I  John  saw 
these  things,  and  hciard  them. 
And  when  I  had  heard  and  seen, 
I  fell  down  to  worship  before  the 
feet  of  the  angel  which  shewed 
me  these  things.  Then  saith  he 
unto  me.  See  thou  do  it  not:  for 
I  am  thy  fellow -servant,  and  of 
thy  brethren  the  prophets,  and 
of  thera  which  keep  the  sayings 
of  this  book:  worship  God. 

4.  BEASTS. 
Exod.  xxxii,  1-4, 31,  34,  35.  And 
when  the  people  saw  that  Moses 
delayed  to  come  down  out  of  the 
mount,  the  people  gathered  them- 
'  selves  together  unto  Aaron,  and 
]  said  unto  him.  Up,  make  us  gods, 
I  which  shall  go  before  us;  for  as 
for  this  Moses,  the  man  that 
brought  us  up  out  of  the  land  of 
Egypt,  we  wot  not  what  is  become 
of  him.  And  Aaron  said  unto 
them.  Break  off  the  golden  ear- 
rings which  are  in  the  ears  of 
your  wives,  of  your  sons,  and  of 
[  your  daughters,  and  bring  them 
I  unto  me.  And  all  the  people 
I  brake  off  the  golden  ear-rings 
which  loere  in  their  ears,  and 
brought  them  unto  Aaron.  And 
he  received  them  at  their  hand, 
and  fashioned  it  with  a  graving 
tool,  after  he  had  made  it  a  mol- 
ten calf:  and  thgy  said,  These  be 
thy  gods,  O  Israel,  which  brought 
thee  up  out  of  the  land  of  Egypt. 
And  Moses  returned  unto  the 
Lord,  and  said.  Oh!  this  people 
have  sinned  a  great  sin.  and  have 
made  them  gods  of  gold.  There- 
fore now  go,  lead  the  people  unto 
the  place  of  which  I  have  spoken 
unto  thee.  Behold,  mine  Angel 
shall  go  before  thee:  nevertheless, 
in  the  day  when  I  visit,  I  will 
visit  their  sin  upon  them.  And 
the  LoRo  plagued  the  people,  be- 
cause they  made  the  calf,  which 
Aaron  made. 

Deut.  ix,  16.  And  I  looked,  and, 
behold,  ye  had  sinned  against  the 
Lord  your  God,  and  had  made 
you  a  molten  calf:  ye  had  turned 
aside  quickly  out  of  the  way 
which  the  Lord  had  commanded 
you. 

1  Kings  xii,  29,  30.  And  he  set 
the  one  in  Bethel,  and  the  other 
put  he  in  Dan.  And  this  thing 
became  a  sin:  for  the  people  went 
to  worship  before  the  one,  even 
unto  Dan. 

2  Kings  x,  29.  Ilowbeit  from  the 
sins  of  Jeroboam,  the  son  of 
Nebat,  who  made  Israel  to  sin, 
Jehu  departed  not  from  after 
them,  to  wit,  the  golden  calves

2  Kings  xvill,  4.  He  removed 
the  high  places,  and  brake  the 
Images,  and  cut  down  the  groves, 
an  I  brake  in  pieces  the  brasen 
serpent  that  Moses  had  made: 
tor  unto  those  days  the  children 
of  Israel  did  burn  incense  to  it; 
and  he  called  it  Nehushtan. 

2  Ghron.  xili,  8.  And  now  ye 
think  to  withstand  the  kingdom 
of  the  Lord  in  the  hand  of  the 
sons  of  David;  and  ye  be  a  great 
multitude,  and  there  are  with  you 
golden  calves,  which  Jeroboam 
made  you  for  gods. 

Neh.  ix,  18.  Yea,  when  they  had 
made  them  a  molten  calf,  and  said, 
Tliis  is  thy  god  that  brought  thee 
up  out  of  Egypt,  and  had  wrought 
great  provocations. 

Fs.  cvi,  19,  20.  They  made  a 
calf  in  Iloreb,  and  worshipped 
the  golden  image.  Thus  they 
changed  their  glory  into  the  simili- 
tude of  an  ox  that  eateth  grass. 

Ezek.  viii,  7-10.  And  he  brought 
me  to  the  door  of  the  court;  and, 
when  I  looked,  behold  a  hole  in 
the  wall.  Then  said  rte  unto  me. 
Son  of  man,  dig  now  in  the  wall: 
and,  when  I  had  digged  in  the 
wall,  behold  a  door.  And  he  said 
unto  me.  Go  in,  and  behold  the 
wicked  abominations  that  they  do 
here.  So  I  went  in  and  saw;  and, 
behold,  every  form  of  creeping 
things,  and  abominable  beasts,  and 
all  the  idols  of  tlie  house  of  Israel, 
pourtrayed  upon  the  wall  round 
about.  % 

Hosea  viii,  5.  Thy  calf,  O  Sa- 
maria, hath  cast  thee  off;  mine 
anger  is  kindled  against  them: 
how  long  will  it  be  ere  they  attain 
to  innocency? 

Hosea  x,  5. 6.  The  inhabitants  of 
Samiria  shall  fear  because  of  the 
calves  of  Heth-aven:  for  the 
people  thereof  shall  mourn  over 
it,  and  the  priests  thereof  that  re- 
joiced on  it,  for  the  glory  thereof, 
because  it  is  departed  from  it.  It 
shall  be  also  can  led  unto  Assyria 
for  a  present  to  king  Jareb:  Eph- 
raim  shall  receive  shame,  and 
Israel  shall  be  ashamed  of  his  own 
counsel. 

Acts  vii,  41.  And  they  ma^e  a 
calf  in  those  days,  and  offered 
sacrifice  unto  the  idol,  and  rejoiced 
in  the  works  of  their  own  hands. 

Horn.  1,  21-23.  Because  that, 
when  they  knew  God,  they  glori- 
fied him  not  as  God,  neither  were 
thankful;  but  became  vain  in  their 
imaginations,  and  their  foolish 
heart  was  darkened.  Professing 
themselves  to  be  wise,  they  be- 
came fools.  And  changed  the 
glory  of  the  uncorrui)tible  God 
into  an  image  made  like  to  cor- 
ruptible man   and  to  birds,  and 


things.

offi-ring,  and  poured  his  drink- 
olferiug,  and  sprinkled  the  blood 


of  his  peace-offerings,  upon  the 
altar.  And  he  brou.^lit  also  the 
brasgn  altar,  which  was  before 
the  Lord,  from  the  forefront  of 
the  house,  from  between  the  altar

image  (the  idol  which  he  had 
made)  in  the  house  of  God,  of 
which  God  had  said  to  David,  and 
to  Solomon  his  son.  In  this  house,

Israel,  will  I  put  my  name  for 
ever.

Judah  have  done  evil  in  my  sight, 
saith  the  Lord:  they  have  set  their 
abominations  in  the  house  which 
is  called  by  my  name,  to  pollute 

Jer.  xxxii,  34.  But  they  set  their 
abominations  in  the  house  which 
is  called  by  my  name,  to  defile  it. 

Ezeh.  V,  11.  Wherefore,  as  I 
live,  saith  the  Lord  Gou,  Surely, 
because  thou  hast  defiled  my 
sanctuary  with  all  thy  detestable 
things,  and  with  all  thiae  abomin- 
ations, therefore  will  I  also  dimin- 
ish thee;  neither  shall  mine  eye 
spare,  neither  will  I  have  any 
pity. 

Ezek.  viii,  5,  6.  Then  said  he 
unto  me.  Son  of  man,  Hft  up  thine 
eyes  now  the  way  toward  the 
north.  So  I  lifted  up  mine  eyes 
the  way  toward  tJie  north,  and 
behold  northward  at  the  gate  of 
the  altar  this  image  of  jealousy  in 
the  entry.  He  said  furthermore 
unto  me,  Son  of  man,  seest  thou 
what  they  do?  even  the  great  abo- 
minations that  the  house  of  Israel 
committeth  here,  that  1  should  go 
far  off  from  my  sanctuary?  But 
turn  thee  yet  again,  and  thou 
Shalt  see  greater  abominations.

made  an  ephod  thereof,  and  put  it 
In  his  city,  even  in  Ophrali;  and  all

after  it:  which  thing  became  a 
enare    unto  Gideon,  and  to   bis 


Judges  xvii,  5.  And  the  man 
Micah  had  an  house  of  gods,  and

went  into  Micah's  house,  and 
fetched  the  carved  image,  the 
ephod,  and  the  teraphim,  and  the 
molten  image.  Then  said  the 
priest  unto  them.  What  do  ye? 
And  they  said  unto  him,  Hold  thy 
peace,  lay  thine  hand  upon  thy 
mouth,  and  go  with  us,  and  be  to 
us  a  father  and  a  priest:  is  it 
better  for  thee  to  be  a  priest  unto 
the  house  of  one  man,  or  that  thou 
be  a  priest  unto  a  tribe  and  a 
family  in  Israel?  And  the  priest's 
heart  was  glad,  and  he  took  the 
ephod,  and  the  teraphim,  and  the 
graven  image,  and  went  in  the 
midst  of  the  people.  So  they 
turned  and  departed,  and  put  the 
little  ones,  and  the  cattle,  and  the 
carriage  before  them.

of  the  liigh  places:  whosoever 
would,  he  consecrated  him,  and 
he  became  one  of  the  priests  of 
the  high  places.  And  this  thing 
became  sin  unto  the  house  of  Jero-

destroy  it  from  off  the  face  of  the 
earth.

sacriflce,  and  his  meat-offering, 
with  the  burnt-offering  of  all 
the  people  of  the  land,  and 
their  meat  -  offering,  and  their 
drink-offerings;  and  sprinkle  upon 
it  all  the  blood  of  the  burnt-offer-

cast  out  the  priests  of  the  Lord, 
the  sons  of  Aaron,  and  the  Levites, 
and  have  made  you  priests  after 
the  manner  of  the  nations  of  other 
lands?  so  that  whosoever  cometh 
to  consecrate  himself  with  a  young 
bullock  and  seven  rams,  the  same 
may  be  a  priest  of  them  that  are 
no  gods. 

Ezelc.  xvi,  18.  And  tookest  thy

said  unto  Moses,  Go,  get  thee 
down;  for  thy  people,  which  thou 
broughtest  out  of  the  land  of 
Egypt,  have  corrupted  iJiemselves: 
They  have  turned  aside  quickly 
out  of  the  way  which  I  command- 
ed them:  they  have  made  them  a 
molten  calf,  and  have  worshipped 
it,  and  have  sacrificed  thereunto,

Israel,  which  have  brought  thee 
out  of  the  land  of  Egypt.

Zidon,  and  the  gods  of  Moab,  and 
the  gods  of  the  children  of  Am- 
mon,  and  the  gods  of  the  Philis-

served  not  him. 

Judges  xvi,  23,  24.  Then  the 
lords  of  the  Philistines  gathered 
them  together  for  to  offer  a  great 
sacrificie  unto  Dagon  their  god, 
and  to  rejoice:  for  they  said,  Our 
270 


god  both  delivered  Samson  our 
enemy  into  our  hand.  And  when 
the  people  saw  him,  they  praised 
their  god;  for  they  said.  Our  god 
hath  delivered  into  our  hands  our 
enemy,  and  the  destroyer  of  our 
country,  which  slew  many  of  us.

of  the  Ziilonians,  Chenio.sh  the 
god  of  the  Moahites,  and  Milcom 
the  god  of  the  children  of  Ammon, 
and  have  not  walked  in  my  ways,

of  your  gods,  but  put  no  fire 
under.  And  they  took  the  bullock 
which  was  given  them,  and  they 
dressed  it,  and  called  on  the  name 
of  Baal  from  morning  even  until 
noon,  saying,  O  Baal,  hear  us!

own  fingers  have  made, 

Jer.  V,  7.  How  shall  I  pardon 
thee  for  this?  thy  children  have 
forsaken  me,  and  sworn  by  tfiem

themselves  by  troops  in  the  har- 
lots' houses. 

Daniel  iii,  2-7,  13-15.  Then

rulers  of  the  provinces,  to  come 
to  the  dedication  of  the  image 
which  Nebuchadnezzar  the  king 
had  set  up.  Then  the  princes, 
the  governors,  and  captains,  the 
judges,  the  treasurers,  the  coun- 
sellors, the  sheriffs,  and  all  the 
rulers  of  the  provinces,  were 
gathered  together  unto  the  dedi- 
cation of  the  image  that  Nebuchad- 
nezzar the  king  had  set  up;  and 
they  stood  before  the  image  that 
Nebuchadnezzar  had  set  up.  Then 
an  herald  cried  alouci,  To  you  It 
is  commanded,  O  people,  nations, 


and  languages,  That  at  what  time 
ye  hear  the  sound  of  the  cornet, 
flute,  harp,  sackbnt,  psaltery, 
dulcimer,  and  all  kinds  of  musick, 
ye  fall  down  and  worship  the 
golden  image  that  Nebuchad- 
nezzar the  king  hath  set  up.  And 
whoso  falleth  not  down  and  wor- 
Bhippeth,  shall  the  same  hour  be 
cast  into  the  midst  of  a  burning 
fiery  furnace.  Therefore  at  that 
time,  when  all  the  people  heard 
the  sound  of  the  cornet,  flute, 
harp,  sackbut,  psaltery,  and  all 
kinds  of  musick,  all  the  people, 
the  nations,  and  the  languages, 
fell  down  and  worshipped  the 
golden  image  that  Nebuchad- 
nezzar the  king  had  set  up.  Then 
Nebuchadnezzar,  in  his  rage  and 
fury,  commanded  to  bring  Shad- 
rach,  Meshach,  and  Abed-nego. 
Then  they  brought  these  men 
before  the  king.  Nebuchadnezzar 
spake,  and  said  unto  them,  Is  it 
true,  O  Shadrach,  Meshach,  and 
Abed-nego,  do  not  ye  serve  my 
gods,  nor  worship  the  golden 
Image  which  I  have  set  up?  Now, 
If  ye  be  ready,  that  at  what  time 
ye  hear  the  sound  of  the  cornet, 
flute,  harp,  sackbut,  psaltery,  and 
dulcimer,  and  all  kinds  of  musick, 
ye  fij'l  down  and  worship  tlie 
Image  which  I  have  made,  iccU: 
but  if  ye  worship  not,  ye  shall  be 
cast  the  same  hour  into  the  midst 
of  a  burning  fiery  furnace;  and 
who  is  that  God  that  shall  deliver 
you  out  of  my  hands?

more  and  more,  and  have  made 
them  molten  images  of  their  silver,

understanding,  all  of  it  the  work 
of  the  craftsmen:  they  say  of 
them,  Let  the  men  that  sacrifice 
kiss  the  calves. 

Amos  viii,  14.  They  that  swear 
by  the  sin  of  Samaria,  and  say, 
Thy  God,  O  Dan,  liveth;  and,  The 
manner  of  Beer-sheba  liveth;  even 
they  shall  tall,  and  never  rise  up 
again. 

Hob.  i,  11.  Then  shall  his  mind 
change,  and  he  shall  pass  over, 
and  offend,  imputing  this  his 
power  unto  his  god. 

Acts  xix,  28,  37.  And  when  they 
heard  these  sayings,  they  were 
full  of  wrath,  and  cried  out,  say- 
ing. Great  is  Diana  of  the  Eplie- 
Biaus.  For  ye  have  brought 
hither  these  men,  which  are 
neither  robbers  of  churches,  nor 
yet  blasphemers  of  your  goddess.

sacrifice.

boam  ordained  a  feast  in  the 
eight  month,  on  the  fifteenth  day 
of  tlie  month,  like  unto  the  feast 
that  is  in  Judah;  and  he  offered 
upon  the  altar,  (so  did  he  in 
Beth-el,)  sacrificing  unto  the 
calves  tliat  he  had  made :  and  he 
placed  in  Betli-el  the  priests  of  the 
high  places  which  he  had  made. 
So  he  offered  upon  the  altar 
which  he  had  made  in  Beth-el  tlie 
fifteenth  day  of  tlie  eighth  month, 
even  in  the  month  which  he  had 
devised  of  his  own  heart;  and 
ordained  a  feast  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel:  and  he  offered  upon 
the  altar,  and  burnt  incense. 

2  Kings  x,  18-20.  And  Jehu 
gathered  all  the  people  together, 
and  said  unto  them,  Ahab  served 
Biial  a  little,  but  Jehu  shall  serve 
him  much.  Now  therefore  call 
unto  me  all  the  prophets  of  Baal, 
all  his  servants,  and  all  his  priests; 
let  none  be  wanting:  for  I  have  a 
great  sacrifice  to  do  to  Baal;  who- 
soever shall  be  wanting,  he  shall 
not  live.  But  Jehu  did  it  in 
subtilty,  to  the  intent  that  he 
might  destroy  the  worshippers  of 
Baal.  And  Jehu  said,  Proclaim  a 
solemn  assembly  for  Baal.  And 
they  proclaimed  it. 

Isa.  Ivii,  6.  Among  the  smooth 
stones  of  the  stream  is  thy  por- 
tion; they,  they  are  thy  lot:  even  to 
them  hast  thou  poured  a  drink- 
ottering,  thou  hast  offered  a 
meat-ottering.  Should  I  receive 
comfort  in  these? 

Isa.  Ixv,  3.  A  people  that  pro- 
voketh  me  to  anger  continually 
to  my  face;  that  sacrificeth  in 
gardens,  and  burneth  incense 
upon  altars  of  brick. 

Jer.  xlviii,  35.  Moreover,  I  will 
cause  to  cease  in  Moab,  saith  the

with  every  man  his  censer  in  his 
hand;  and  a  thick  cloud  of  incense 
went  up. 

Ezek.  xvf,  19.    My  meat   also 

which  I  gave  thee,  fine  flour,  and 

oil,  and  honey,  wherewith   I  fed 

thee,  thou  hast  even  set  it  before

them  for  a  sweet  savour:  and  thus 
it  was,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

Ezeft.  XX,  28.  For  when  I  had 
brought  them  int )  the  land,  for 
the  which  I  lifted  up  mine  hand  to 
give  it  to  them,  then  they  saw 
every  high  hill,  and  all  the  thick 
trees,  and  they  offered  there  their 
sacrifices,  and  there  they  pres(*nt- 
ed  the  provocation  of  their  offer- 
ing: there  also  they  made  their 
sweet  savour,  and  poured  out 
there  their  drink  oflerings. 

Eosea  ii,  8. 13.  For  she  did  not 
know  that  I  gave  her  corn,  and 
wine,  and  oil,  and  multiplied  her 
silver  and  gold,  which  they  pre- 
pared for  Baal,  And  I  will  visit 
upon  her  the  days  of  Baalim, 
wlierein  she  burnt  incense  to 
them,  and  she  decked  herself 
with  her  ear-rings  and  her  jewels, 
and  she  went  after  her  lovers, 
and  forgat  me,  saith  the  Lord, 

nosea  iv,  19.  The  wind  hath 
bound  her  up  in  her  wings,  and 
they  shall  be  ashamed  because  of 
their  sacrifices. 

Hosea  xi,  2.  As  they  called 
them,  so  they  went  from  them: 
they  sacrificed  unto  Baalim,  and 
burnt  incense  to  graven  images. 

Hosea  xii,  11.  7s  there  iniquity 
in  Gilead?  surely  they  are  vanity: 
they  sacrifice  bullocks  in  Gilgal; 
yea,  their  altars  are  as  heaps  in 
the  furrows  of  the  fields. 
1  Qor.  viii,  7, 10.  Howbeit  there  is 
not  in  every  man  that  knowledge: 
for  some  with  conscience  of  the 
idol  unto  this  hour  eat  it  as  a 
thing  offered  unto  an  idol;  and 
their  conscience  being  weak  is  } 
defiled.  For  if  any  man  see  theo 
which  hast  knowledge  sit  at  meat 
in  the  idol's  temple,  shall  not  the 
conscience  of  him  which  is  weak 
be  emboldened  to  eat  those  things 
which  are  offered  to  idols.

through  even  unto  the  king  of 
Edom:  but  they  could  not, 

2  Kings  ill,  27.  Then  he  took 
his  eldest  son,  that  should  have 
reigned  in  his  stead,  and  offered

departed  from  him,  and  returned 
to  their  own  land. 

2  Kings  xvi,  3.  But  he  walked  in 
the  way  of  the  kings  of  Israel, 
yea,  and  made  his  son  to  pass 
through  the  fire,  according  to  the 
abominations  of  the  heathen, 
whom  the  Lord  cast  out  from  be- 
fore the  children  of  Israel. 

2  Kings  xvil,  17,  18.  And  they 
caused  tlieir  sons  and  their  daugh-

used  divination  and  enchantments, 
and  sold  themselves  to  do  evil  in 
the  sight  of  the  Lord,  to  provoke 
him  to  anger.  Therefore  the

the  fire,  and  observed  times,  and 
used  enchantments,  and  dealt  with 
lamiliar  spirits  and  wizards:  he 
wrought  much  wickedness  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord,  to  provoke  Mm 
to  anger.

[Ahaz]  burnt  incense  in  the  valley

your  gifts,  when  ye  make  your 
sons  to  pass  through  the  fire,  ye 
pollute  yourselves  with  all  your 
idols,  even  unto  this  day:  and  shall

2  Kings  i,  2-6,  16,  17.  And  Aha- 
ziah  fell  down  tlirougli  a  lattice  in 
his  upper  chamber  that  was  in 
Samaria,  and  was  sick :  and  he 
sent  messengers,  and  said  unto 
them,  Go,  enquire  of  Baal-zebub 
the  god  of  Ekron  whether  I  shall 
recover  of  this  disease.  But  the 
angel  of  the  Lord  said  to  Elijah 
the  Tishbite,  Arise,  go  up  to  meet 
the  messengers  of  the  king  of 
Samaria,  and  say  unto  them,  Is  it 
not  because  there  is  not  a  God  in 
Israel,  that  ye  go  to  enquire  of 
Baal-zebub  the  god  of  Ekron? 
Now  therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Thou  shalt  not  come  down 
from  that  bed  on  which  thou  art 
gone  up,  but  shalt  surely  die.  And 
Elijah  departed.  And  when  the 
messengers  turned  back  unto  him, 
he  said  unto  them,  Why  are  ye 
now  turned  back?  And  they  said 
unto  him,  There  came  a  man  up 
to  meet  us,  and  said  unto  us,  Go, 
turn  again  unto  the  king  that  sent 
you,  and  say  unto  him,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  Is  it  not  because  there  is 
not  a  God  in  Israel,  that  thou 
sendest  to  enquire  of  Baal-zebub 
the  god  of  Ekron?  therefore  thou 
shalt  not  come  down  from  that 
bed  on  which  thou  art  gone  up, 
but  shalt  surely  die.  And  he  said 
unto  him.  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Forasmuch  as  thou  hast  sent  mes 
sengers  to  enquire  of  Baal-zebub 
the  god  of  Ekron,  is  it  not  because 
there  is  no  God  in  Israel  to  enquire

Lev.  XX,  27.  A  man  also,  or

have  ye  rewarded  evil  for  good? 
la  not  this  it  in  which  my  lord

have  done?  wot  ye  not  that  such  a 
man  as  I  can  certainly  divine.

all  the  magicians  and  astrologers 
that  were  in  all  his  realm. 

Dan.  v,7, 15.  The  king  cried  aloud 
to  bringin  the  astrol(ig<;rs,the  Chal- 
deans, and  the  sootlisayers.  And 
the  king  spake,  and  said  to  the 
wise  men  of  Babylon,  Whosoever 
shall  read  this  writing,  and  show 
me  the  interpretation  thereof, 
shall  be  clothed  with  scarlet,  and 
have  a  chain  of  gold  aiiout  his 
neck,  and  shall  be  the  third  ruler 
in  the  kingdom.  And  now  the 
wise  men,  the  astrologers,  have 
been  brought  in  before  me,  that 
they  should  read  this  writing,  and 
make  known  unto  me  the  inter- 
pretation thereof:  but  they  could 
not  shew  the  interpretation  of  the 
thing. 

Acts  xvi,  16-18.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  as  we  went  to  prayer,  a  cer- 
tain damsel  possessed  with  a  spirit 
of  divination  met  us,  which 
brought  her  masters  much  gain 
by  soothsaying:  The  same  fol- 
lowed Paul  and  us,  and  cried, 
saying.  These  men  are  the  ser- 
vants of  the  most  high  God,  which 
shew  unto  us  the  way  of  salvation. 
And  this  did  she  many  days. 
But  Paul,  being  grieved,  turned, 
and  said  to  the  spirit,  1  command 
thee,  in  the  name  of  Jesus  Christ, 
to  come  out  of  her.  And  he  came 
out  the  same  hour. 

NECR0MAlTCr7. 

1  Sam.  xxviii,  3-25.  Now  Samuel 
was  dead,  and  all  Israel  had 
lamented  him,  and  buried  him  in 
R  imah,  even  in  his  own  city:  and 
Saul  had  put  away  those  that  had 
familiar  spirits,  and  the  wizards, 
out  of  the  land.  And  the  Philis- 
tines gathered  themselves  to- 
gether, and  came  and  pitched 
in  Shunem;  and  Saul  gathered 
all  Israel  tog(;ther,  and  they 
pitched  in  Gilboa.  And  when 
Saul  saw  the  host  of  the  Phil- 
istines, he  was  afraid,  and  his 
heart  greatly  trembled.  And 
when  Saul  enquired  of  the  Lord, 
the  Lord  answered  him  not, 
neither  by  dreams,  nor  by  Urim, 
nor  by  prophets.  Then  said  Saul 
unto  his  servants.  Seek  me  a  wo- 
man that  hatha  familiar  spirit,  that 
I  may  go  to  her,  and  enquire  of 
her.  And  his  servants  said  to  him. 
Behold,  there  is  a  woman  that 
hath  a  familiar  spirit  at  En-dor. 
And  Saul  disguised  himself,  and 
put  on  other  raiment,  and  he  went, 
and  two  men  with  him,  and  they 
came  to  the  woman  by  night:  and 
he  said,  1  pray  thee,  divine  unto 
me  by  the  familiar  spirit,  and  bring 
me  him  up  wliom  I  shall  name 
unto  thee-  And  the  woman  said 
unto  him,  Behold,  thou  knowest 
What  Saul  hath  done, how  he  hath 
273 


cut  off  those  that  have  familiar 
spirits,  and  tlie  wizaiMs,  out  of  the 
land:  wlierefure  tlieii  layesttiiou  a 
snare  lor  my  life,  to  cause  me  to 
die?  And  Saul  sware  to  her  by 
the  Loud,  saying,  As  the  Lord 
liveth,  there  sludl  no  punishment 
happen  to  thee  for  this  thing. 
Then  said  the  woman.  Whom 
shall  I  bring  up  unto  thee?  And 
he  said.  Bring  me  up  Samuel. 
Andwhen  the  woman  saw  Samuel, 
she  cried  with  a  loud  voice:  and 
the  woman  spake  to  Saul,  saying. 
Why  hast  them  deceived  me?  for 
thou  art  Saul.  And  the  king  said 
unto  her.  Be  not  afraid:  for  what 
sawest  thou?  and  the  woman  s  >id 
unto  Saul,  I  saAV  gods  ascending 
out  of  the  earth.  And  he  said 
unto  her.  What  form  is  he  of? 
And  she  said,  An  old  man  conseth 
up;  and  he  is  covered  witli  a 
mantle.  And  Saul  perceived  that 
it  was  Samuel,  and  he  stoope.! 
with  his  face  to  the  ground,  and 
bowed  himself.  And  Samuel  said 
to  Saul,  Why  hast  thou  disquieitd 
me,  to  bring  me  up?  Ann  Saul 
answered,  I  am  sore  distressed; 
for  the  Philistines  make  war 
against  me,  and  God  isueparud 
from  me,  and  answereth  me  no 
more,  neither  by  jjrophets,  nor  1/y 
dreams:  therefore  I  have  c.aied 
thee,  that  thou  mayest  niaise 
known  unto  me  what  I  shall  uo. 
Then  said  Samuel,  Wherefore 
tiien  dost  thou  ask  of  me.  seeing 
the  Lord  is  departed  from  thee  and 
is  become  thine  enemy?  And  liie 
Loud  hath  done  to  him  as  he 
spake  by  me:  for  the  Lord  hath 
rent  the  kingdom  out  of  thine 
hand,  and  given  it  to  thy  neigli- 
bour,  even  to  David:  Because 
thou  obeyedst  not  the  voice  of  the 
Lord,  nor  executedst  his  fierce 
wrath  upon  Amalek,  therefore 
hath  the  Lord  done  this  thing 
unto  thee  tliis  day.  Moreover,  the 
Lord  will  also  deliver  Israel  with 
thee  into  the  hand  of  tlie  Philis- 
tines; and  to-morrow  shalt  thou 
and  thy  sons  be  with  me:  the 
Lord  also  shall  deliver  the  host  of 
Israel  into  the  hand  of  the  Phil- 
istines. Then  Saul  fell  straight- 
way all  along  on  the  earth,  and 
was  soie  afraid,  because  of  the 
words  of  Samuel:  and  there  was 
no  strength  in  him;  for  he  had 
eaten  no  bread  all  the  day,  nor  all 
the  night.  And  the  woman  came 
unto  Saul,  and  saw  that  he  was 
sore  troubled,  and  said  unto  him,  • 
Behold,  thine  handmaid  hath 
obeyed  thy  voice,  and  I  have  put 
my  life  in  my  hand,  and  have 
liearkened  unto  thy  words  which 
thou  spakest  unto  me:  Now 
therefore,  I  pray  thee,  hearken 
thou  also  unto  the  voice  of  thine 
handmaid,  and  let  me  set  a  morsel 
of  bread  before  i  hee;  and  eat,  that 
thou  mayest  have  strength  when 
thou  goest  on  thy  way.  But  he

refnsed,  and  said,  I  will  not  eat. 
But  his  servants,  together  with 
the  woman,  compelled  him;  and 
he  hearlcened  unto  their  voice.  So 
he  arose  from  the  earth,  and  sat 
upon  the  bed.  And  the  woman 
had  a  fat  calf  in  the  house;  and  she 
hasted,  and  liilled  it,  and  took 
flour  and  lineaded  it,  and  did  bake 
unleavened  bread  thereof:  And 
she  brought  it  before  Saul,  and 
before  his  servants;  and  they  did 
eat.  Then  they  rose  up,  and  went 
away  that  night. 

Magio  and  Sorcebt. 

Exod.  vii,  11,  12,  21,  22.  Then 
Pharaoh  also  called  the  wise  men 
and  the  sorcerers:  now  the  magi- 
cians of  Egypt,  they  also  did  in 
like  manner  with  their  enchant- 
ments: For  they  cast  down  every 
man  his  rod,  and  they  became 
serpents:  but  Aaron's  rod  swal- 
lowed up  their  rods.  And  the  fish 
that  was  in  the  river  died;  and  the 
river  stank,  and  the  Egyptians 
could  not  drink  of  the  water  of 
the  river:  and  there  was  blood 
throughout  all  the  land  of  Egypt. 
And  tlie  magicians  of  Egypt  did 
so  with  their  enchantments:  and 
Pharaoh's  heart  was  hardened, 
neither  did  he  hearken  unto  them; 
as  the  Loud  had  said. 

Exod.  viii,  7,  18,  19.  And  the 
magicians  did  so  with  their  en- 
chantments, and  brought  up  frogs 
upon  the  land  of  Egypt.  And  the 
magicians  did  so  with  their  en- 
chantments to  bring  forth  lice,  but 
they  could  not:  so  there  were  lice 
upon  man  and  upon  beast.  Then 
the  magicians  said  unto  Pharaoh, 
This  is  the  finger  of  God:  and 
Pharaoh's  heart  was  hardened, 
and  he  hearkened  not  unto  them; 
as  the  LoKD  had  said. 

Exod.  i\,  11.  And  the  magicians 
could  not  stand  belbre  Moses  be- 
cause of  the  boils;  for  the  boil  was 
upon  the  magicians,  and  upon  all 
the  Egyptians. 

Acts  viii,  9-11.  But  there  was  a 
certain  man,  called  Simon,  which 
beforetime  in  the  same  city  used 
sorcery,  and  bewitched  the  people 
of  Samaria,  giving  out  that  him- 
self was  some  great  one:  To 
whom  they  all  gave  heed,  from 
the  least  to  the  greatest,  saying, 
This  man  is  the  great  power  of 
God.  And  to  him  they  had  regard, 
because  that  of  long  time  he  had 
bewitched  them  witli  sorceries. 

Acts  xiii,  6,  8.  And  when  they 
had  gone  through  the  isle  unto 
Paphos,  they  loimd  a  certain 
sorcerer,  a  false  prophet,  a  Jew, 
whose  name  was  Bar-jesus.  But 
Elymas  the  sorcerer  (for  so  is  his 
name  by  interpretation)  withstood 
them,  seeking  to  turn  away  the 
deputy  from  the  faith. 

Acts  xix,  V3-20.  Then  certain  of 


the  vagabond  Jews,  exorcists, 
took  upon  them  to  call  over  them 
which  had  evil  spirits  the  name  of 
the  Lord  Jesus,  saying.  We  adjure 
you  by  Jesus,  whom  Paul  preach- 
eth.  And  there  were  seven  sons 
of  one  Sceva,  a  Jew,  and  chief  of 
the  priests,  which  did  so.  And 
the  evil  spirit  answered  and  said, 
-iesus  I  know,  and  Paul  I  know; 
but  who  are  ye?  And  the  man  in 
whom  the  evil  spirit  was  leaped 
on  them,  and  overcame  them,  and 
prevailed  against  them,  so  that 
they  fled  out  of  that  house  naked 
and  wounded.  And  this  was 
known  to  all  the  Jews  and  Greeks 
also  dwelling  atEphesus;  and  fear 
fell  on  them  all,  and  the  name  of 
the  Lord  Jesus  was  magnified. 
And  many  that  believed  came, 
and  confessed,  and  shewed  their 
deeds.  Many  of  tiiem  also  which 
used  curious  arts  brought  their 
books  together,  and  burned  tliem 
before  all  men:  and  they  counted 
the  price  of  tiiem,  and  found  it 
fllty  thousand  pieces  of  silver.  So 
mightily  grew  the  word  of  God 
and  prevailed. 

SUCH  CONSULTATION  ALL 
VANITY  AND  DELUSION. 
Num.  xxiii,  23.  Surely  there  is 
no  enchantment  against  Jacob, 
neither  is  there  any  divination 
against  Israel:  according  to  this 
time  it  shall  be  said  of  Jacob  and 
of  Israel,  What  hath  God 
wrought! 

Isa.  xix,  3, 12.  And  the  spirit  of 
Egypt  sliall  fail  in  the  midst  tliere- 
1  of;  and  I  will  destroy  the  counsel 
I  thereof:  and  they  shall  seek  to 
the  idols,  and  to  the  charmers, 
and  to  them  that  have  familiar 
siiirits,  and  to  the  wizards. 
Where  are  they?  where  are  thy 
wise  men?  and  let  them  tell  thee 
now,  and  let  them  know  what  the 
Lord  of  host  hath  purposed  upon 
Egypt. 

Isa.  xliv,  25.  That  frustrateth 
the  tokens  of  the  liars,  and  malieth 
divinors  mad;  that  turneth  wise 
men  backward,  and  maketh  their 
knowledge  foolish. 

Isa.  xlvii,  12, 14.  Stand  now  with 
thine  encliantments,  and  with  the 
multitude  of  thy  sorceries,  where- 
in thou  hast  laboured  from  thy 
youth;  if  so  be  thou  shalt  be  able 
to  profit,  if  so  be  thou  mayest 
prevail.  Behold,  they  shall  be  as 
stubble;  the  fire  shall  burn  them; 
they  shall  not  deliver  themselves 
from  the  power  of  tlie  flame:  there 
sliall  not  be  a  coal  to  warm  at, 
nor  fire  to  sit  before  it. 

Daniel  v,  8.  Then  came  in  all 
the  king's  wise  men:  but  they 
could  not  read  the  writing,  nor 
make  known  to  the  king  the  inter- 
pretation thereof.

their  molten  images,  and  quite 
pluck  down  all  their  high  places. 

Beut  vil,  3,  4,  5,  25,  26.  Neither 
Shalt  thou  make  marriages  with 
them;  thy  daughter  thou  shalt 
not  give  unto  his  son,  nor  his 
daughter  shalt  thou  take  unto- 
thy  son.  For  they  will  turn  away 
tliy  son  from  following  me,  that 
they  may  serve  other  gods:  so 
will  the  anger  of  the  Lord  be 
kindled  against  you,  and  destroy 
thee  suddenly.  But  thus  shall 
ye  deal  with  them;  ye  shall  destroy 
their  altars,  and  break  down  their

even  so  will  I  do  likewise.  Thou 
slialt  not  do  so  unto  the  Lord  thy

they  done  unto  their  gods;  for 
even  their  sons  and  their  daugh-

Deut.  xiii,  17,  18.  And  there

sliall  be  put  to  death;  because  he 
hath  spoken  to  turn  you  away

Egypt If  thy  brother,  the 

son  of  thy  mother,  or  thy  son,  or

bosom,  or  thy  friend,  which  is  as 
thine  own  soul,  entice  thee  secret-

other  gods,  which  thou  hast  not 
known,  thou,  nor  thy  fathers; 
Namely,  of  the  gods  of  the  people

bondaj^e.  And  all  Israel  shall 
hear,  and  fear,  and  shall  do  no 
more  any  such  wickedness  as  this 
is  among  you.  If  tliou  shalt  hear 
say  in  one  of  thy  cities,  which  the 
Lord  thy  God  hath  given  thee  to 
dwell  there,  saymg,  pertain  men,

anger,  and  hast  cast  me  behind 
thy  bacli;  Therefore,  behold,  I 
will  bring  evil  upon  the  house  of 
Jeroboam,  and  will  cut  ofl  from 
Jeroboam  him  that  pissetii  against 
the  wall,  and  him  that  is  shut  up

that  forsake  the  Lord,  that  forget

furnish  the  drink-offering  unto 
that  number.  Therefore  will  I 
number  you  to  the  sword,  and  ye 
shall  all  bow  down  to  the  slaugh- 
ter: because  when  I  called,  ye  did 
not  answer;  when  I  spake,  ye  did 
not  hear,  but  did  evil  before 
mine  eyes,  and  did  choose  that 
Wherein  I  delighted  not.

from  the  ends  of  the  earth,  and

inherited  lies,  vanity,  and  things 
wherein  tlitre  is  no  profit.  Shall 
a  man  make  gods  unto  himself, 
and  they  are  no  gods?  Therefore,

That  I  may  take  the  house  of 
Israel  in  tlieir  own  heart,  because 
they  are  all  estranged  from  me 
through  their  idols.  Therefore 
say  unto  the  house  of  Israel,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God,  Repent,  and 
turn  yourselves  from  your  idols; 
and  turn  away  your  faces  from 
all  your  abominations.

Ezelc.  xxiii,  30, 49.  I  will  do  these

polluted  with  their  idols.  And 
they  shall  recompense  your  lewd-

and  earth  to  witness  against  you 
this  day,  that  ye  shall  soon  utterly 
perish  from  off  the  land  where- 
unto  ye  go  over  Jordan  to  possess

thee  from  oil  the  face  of  the 
earth. 

Deut  viii,  19,  20.  And  it  shall 
be,  if  thou  do  at  all  lorget  the 
Lord  tliy  God,  and  walk  after 
other  gods,  and  serve  them,  and

you  tills  day,  that  ye  shall  surely 
perish.  As  the  nations  which  the 
Lord  destroyed  before  your  face, 
so  shall  ye  perish;  because  ye 
would  not  be  obedient  unto  the 
voice  of  the  Lord  your  God. 

Deut.  xxix,  24-28.  Even  all 
nations  shall  say,  Wlierefore  liath 
the  Lord  done  thus  unto  this 
land?  what  meaneth  the  heat  of 
this  great  anger?  Tlicn  men  shall 
say.  Because  they  have  forsaken 
the  covenant  of  the  Lord  God  of 
their  fathers,  which  he  made  with 
them  when  he  brought  them 
forth  out  of  the  land  of  Egypt: 
For  they  went  and  served  other 
gods,  and  worshipped  them,  gods 
whom  they  knew  not,  and  whom 
he  had  not  given  unto  them.  And 
the  anger  of  the  Lord  was  kindled 
against  this  land,  to  bring  upon  It 
all  the  curses  that  are  written  in 
this  book.  And  tlie  Lord  rooted 
them  out  of  their  land  in  anger, 
and  in  wrath,  and  in  great  indig- 
nation, and  cast  them  into  another 
land,  as  it  is  this  day.

yourselves  to  them;  then  shall  the

quickly  from  off  (he  good  land 
which  he  hath  given  unto  you. 

Judges  il,  13-15,  21,  22.  And 
they  forsoolv  the  Lord,  and 
served  Baal  and  Ashtaroth.  And 
the  anger  of  tlie  Lord  was 
hot  against  Israel,  and  he  de- 
livered them  into  the  hands  of 
spoilers  that  spoiled  them,  and  he 
sold  them  into  the  hands  of  their 
enemies  round  about,  so  that  they 
could  not  any  longer  stand  before 
their  enemies.  Whilhersoevor 
they  went  out,  the  hand  of  the

278 


as  the  Lord  had  said,  and  as  the 
Lord  had  sworn  unto  them:  and 
they  were  greatly  distressed.  I 
also  will  not  henceforth  drive  out 
any  from  before  them  of  the 
nations  which  Joshua  left  when 
he  died;  That  through  them  I  may 
prove  Israel,  whether  they  will

therein,  as  their  fathers  did  keep 
it,  or  not.

dren of  Israel  did  evil  in  the  sight 
of  the  Lord,  and  forgat  the  Lord

of  the  Lord  Avas  hot  against 
Israel,  and  he  sold  them  into  the 
hand  of  Chushan-rishathaim  king 
of  Mesopotamia:  and  the  children 
of  Israel  served  Ghushau-rishath- 
aim  eight  years.

appeared  unto  him  twice,  And 
had  commanded  him  concerning 
this  tiling,  tliat  he  should  not  go 
alter  other  gods:  but  he  kept  not 
that  which  the  Lord  commanded. 
Wherefore  the  Lord  said  unto 
Solomon,  Forasmuch  as  this  is 
done  of  thee,  and  thou  hast  not 
liept  my  covenant  and  my 
statutes,  which  I  have  commanded 
thee,  I  will  surely  rend  the  king-

forsaken  the  commandments  of 
the  Lord,  and  thou  hast  followed 
Baalim.

Jer.  xxii,  8,  9.  And  many  na-

Jer.  xxxii,  29.  And  the  Chal-

upon  whoso  roofs  they  have  of- 
fered Incense  unto  Baal,  and 
poured  out  drink-oflferings  unto 
otlier  gods,  to  provoLa  me  to

Jer.  xliv,  2,  3,  6-8.  20-23.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of 
Israel,  Ye  have  seen  all  the  evil 
that  I  have  brought  upon  Jeru- 
salem, and  upon  all  the  cities  of 
Judah;  and,  behold,  this  day  they 
are  a  desolation,  and  no  man 
dvvelleth  therein;  Because  of  tlieir 
wickedness  which  they  have  com- 
mitted, to  provoke  me  to  anger, 
in  that  they  went  to  burn  incense, 
and  to  serve  other  gods,  wiiom 
they  knew  not,  neither  they,  ye, 
nor  your  fathers.  Wlierefore  my 
fury  and  mine  anger  was  poured 
forth,  and  was  kindled  in  the  cities 
of  Judah,  and  in  the  streets  of 
Jerusalem;  and  they  are  wasted 
and  desolate,  as  at  this  day. 
Therefore  now  thus  saith  the 
Lord,  the  God  of  hosts,  the  God 
of  Israel,  "Wherefore  commit  ye 
this    great     evil     against     your 

I  souls,  to  cut  oir  from  jou  man  and 
woman,  old  Id  and  suckling,  out  of 

I  Judah,  to  leave  you  none  to  re- 
main; In  that  ye  provoke  me 
unto  wrath  with  the  woiks  of  your 
hands,  burning  incense  unto  other 
gods  in  the  land  of  Egypt,  whither 
ye  be  gone  to  dwell,  that  ye 
might  cut  yourselves  off,  and 
that  ye  migiit  be  a  curse  and 
a  reproach  among  all  the  nations 
of  tlie  eartli?  Then  Jeremiah 
said  unto  all  the  people,  to  tiie 
men,  and  to  the  women,  and  to 
all  the  people  which  had  given 
him  that  answer,  saying,  Tlie  in- 
cense that  ye  burnt  in  the  cities  of 
Judah,  and  in  the  streets  of  Jeru- 
salem, ye,  and  your  fathers,  your 
kings,  and  your  princes,  and  the 
people  of  the  land,  did  not  the 
Lord  remember  them,  and  came 
it  not  into  his  mind?  So  that  the 
Lord  could  no  longer  bear,  be- 
cause of  the  evil  of  your  doings, 
and  because  of  the  abominations 
whicli  ye  have  committed:  there- 
fore is  your  land  a  desolation,  and 
an  astonishment,  and  a  curse,  with- 
out an  inhabitant,  as  at  this  day. 
Because  ye  have  burnt  incense, 
and  because  ye  have  sinned 
against  the  Lord,  and  have  not 
obeyed  the  voice  of  the  Lord,  nor 
walked  in  his  law,  nor  in  his  sta- 
tutes, nor  in  his  testimonies;  there- 
fore this  evil  is  happened  unto 
you,  as  at  this  day. 

IDOLATRY  PUNISHED  AND 
EXTIRPATED  BY  MAN. 
Gen.   Xixv,  4.  And  they  gave 
279 


unto  Jacob  all  the  strange  srods 
which  ivere  in  their  hand,  and  all 
their  ear-rings  which  toere  in  their 
ears:  and  Jacob  hid  them  under 
the  oak  which  teas  by  Shechem. 

Judges  vi,  25-32.  And  it  came 
to  pass  the  same  night,  that  the 
Lord  said  unto  him.  Take  thy 
father's  young  bullock,  even  the 
second  bullock  of  seven  years 
old,  and  throw  down  the  altar 
of  Baal  that  thy  father  hath,  and 
cut  down  the  grove  that  is  by  it: 
And  build  an  altar  tmto  the  Lord 
thy  God  upon  the  top  of  this  rock, 
in  the  ordered  place,  and  take  the 
second  bullock,  and  offer  a  burnt- 
sacrifice  with  the  wood  of  the 
grove  which  thou  shalt  cut  down. 
Then  Gideon  took  ten  men  of  his 
servants,  and  did  as  the  Lord  had 
^aid  unto  him:  and  so  it  was,  be- 
cause he  feared  his  father's  house- 
hold, and  the  men  of  the  city,  that 
he  could  not  do  it  by  day,  that  he 
did  it  by  night.  And  when  tlie 
men  of  the  city  arose  early  in  the 
morning,  behold,  the  altar  of  Baal 
was  cast  down,  and  the  grove  was 
cut  down  tliat  icas  by  it,  and  the 
,  second  bullock  was  offered  upon 
I  tlie  altar  that  was  built.  And 
they  said  one  to  auotiier,  Wlio 
hatii  done  this  thing?  And  when 
they  enquired  and  asked,  they 
6ai(i,GiiIeon  the  sonof  Joasii  haih 
done  this  thing.  Then  the  men  of 
the  city  said  unto  Joash,  Bring 
out  thy  son,  tliat  he  may  die;  be- 
cause he  hath  cast  down  the  altar 
of  Baal,  and  because  he  hath  cut 
down  the  grove  that  was  by  it. 
And  Joasli  said  unto  all  that 
stood  against  him.  Will  ye  plead 
far  Baal?  will  ye  save  him?  he  that 
will  plead  for  him,  let  him  be  put 
to  death  whilst  it  is  yet  morning: 
if  he  be  a  god,  let  him  phad  lor 
himself,  because  one  hath  cast 
down  his  altar.  Therefore  on  that 
j  day  he  called  him  Jerubbaal,  say- 
ing, Let  Baal  })lead  against  him, 
because  he  hath  thrown  down  his 
altar. 

1  Sam.  vii,  4.  Then  the  children 
of  Israel  did  put  away  LJaalim  and 
Ashtaroth,  and  served  the  Lord 
only. 

2  Sam.  V,  21.  And  there  they 
left  their  images,  and  David  and 
his  men  burned  them. 

2  Kings  x,  26-28.  And  they 
brought  forth  the  images  out  of 
the  house  of  Baal,  and  brined 
tliem.  And  they  brake  dow  u  the 
image  of  Baal,  and  brake  down 
the  house  of  Baal,  and  made  it  a 
drauglit-house  unto  this  day.  Thus 
Jehu  destroyed  Baal  out  of  Israel.

had  left  their  gods  there,  David 
gave  a  commandment,  and  they

2  Qhron.  xxxiv,  3, 4. 6, 7, 33.  For  in 
the  eighth  year  of  his  reign,  while 
he  was  yet  young,  he  began  to  seek 
after  the  God  of  David  his  father: 
and  in  the  twelfth  year  he  began 
to  purge  Judah  and  Jerusalem 
from  the  high  places,  and  the

Gen.  xxxi,  32.    With   whomso-

him  not  live:  before  our  brethren 
discern  thou  what  is  thine  with 
me,    and    take    it   to   thee.    For 
Jacob  knew  not  that  Rachel  had

Exod.  xxxii,  20.  And  he  took

Deut  ix,  20,  21.  And  the  Lord

And  I  took  your  sin,  the  calf 
which  ye  had  made,  and  burnt  it

low him.  And  the  people  an-

2  Ghron.  xxv,  14,  15.  Now  It 
came  to  pass,  after  that  Amaziah 
was  come  from  the  slaughter  of 
the  Edomites,  that  he  brought  the 
gods  of  tlie  children  of  Seir,  and 
set  them  up  to  be  his  gods,  and 
bowed  down  himself  before  them, 
and  burned  incense  unto  them. 
Wherefore  the  anger  of  the  Lord 
was  kindled  against  Amnziah,  and 
he  sent  unto  him  a  prophet,  which 
said  unto  him.  Why  hast  tliou 
sought  after  the  gods  of  the  peo- 
ple, which  could  not  deliver  their 
own  people  out  of  thine  hand? 

2  Qhron.  xxxii,  13.  Know  ye  not 
what  I  and  my  fathers  have  done 
unto  all  the  people  of  other  lands? 
were  the  gods  of  the  nations 
of  those  lands  any  ways  able  to 
deliver  their  lands  out  of  mine 
hand. 

Ps.  cxv,  4-8.    Their  idols  are 
silver  and  gold,  the  work  of  men's 
hands.    They  have  mouths,  but 
281 


they  speak  not;  eyes  have  they, 
but  they  see  not;  They  have 
ears,  but  they  hear  not;  noses  have 
they,  but  they  smell  not;  They 
have  hands,  but  they  handle  not; 
feet  have  they,  but  they  walk  not; 
neither  speak  they  through  their 
throat.  They  that  make  them 
are  like  unto  them;  so  is  every 
one  that  trusteth  in  them. 

Ps.  cxxxv,  15-18.  The  idols  of 
the  heathen  are  silver  and  gold, 
the  work  of  men's  hands.  Tliey 
have  mouths,  but  tliey  speak  not; 
eyes  have  they,  but  they  see  not; 
They  have  ears  but  tliey  hear  not; 
neither  is  there  any  breath  in  tlieir 
mouths;  They  that  make  tlu  m 
are  like  unto  them;  so  is  every 
one  that  trusteth  in  them. 

Isa.  x,  10, 11.  As  my  hand  hath 
found  tlie  kingdoms  of  the  idols, 
and  whose  graven  images  did 
excel  them  of  Jerusalem  and  of 
Samaria;  Shall  I  not,  as  I  liave 
done  unto  Samaria  and  her  idols, 
so  do  to  Jerusalem  and  her  idols. 

Isa.  xxxvi,  19.  Where  are  the 
gods  of  Hamath  and  Arphad? 
where  are  the  gods  of  Sepharvaim? 
and  liave  they  delivered  Samaria 
out  of  my  hand? 

Isa.  xli,  23,  24,  29.  Shew  the 
things  that  are  to  coine  liereafter, 
that  we  may  know  thit  ye  are 
gods:  yea,  do  good,  or  uo  evil,  that 
we  may  be  dismayed,  and  behold 
it  together.  Behold,  ye  are  of 
nothing,  and  your  work  of  nought: 
an  abomination  is  he  that  clioos- 
:  eth  you.  Behold,  they  are  all 
vanity;  their  works  are  nothing; 
their  molten  images  are  wind  and 
!  confusion. 

Isa.  xliv,  9-11, 15-20.  They  that 

make  a  graven  image  are  all  of 

them  vanity;  and  their  delectable 

tilings  shall  not  profit;  and  they 

,  are  their  own  witnesses:  tliey  see 

I  not,  nor  know;  that  they  may  be 

asliamed.     Who  hath   formed  a 

I  god,  or  molten  a  graven  image, 

that  is  profitable  for  nothing?    Be- 

I  hold,    all    his    fellows    sliail    be

\  are   of    men :    let   them   all   be 

■  gathered  together,  let  them  stand 

1  up;  yet  they  sliall  fear,  and  tliey 

!  sliall  be  ashamed  together.    Then 

I  shall  it  be  for  a  man  to  burn:  for 

he  will  take  thereof,  and  warm 

himself;  yea,  he  kindleth  it,  and 

baketh  bread;  yea,  he  maketh  a 

god,  and  worshippeth  it:  he  mali- 

eth  it  a  graven  image,  and  falleth 

down  thereto.    He  burnetii  part 

thereof  in   the   fire;    with   part 

thereof  he  eateth  fle.>-h;  he  roast- 

eth  roast,  and  is  satisfied:  yea.  lie 

warmeth  himself,  and  saith.  Aha, 

I  am  warm,  I  have  seen  the  fire: 

And  the  residue  thereof  he  mak- 

etli  a  god,  even  his  graven  image:

I  shippeth  it,  and  pray  eth  unto  it,

my  god.    They  have  not  known 

nor  understood:  for  he  hath  shut 
their  eyes,  that  they  cannot  see; 
and  their  hearts,  that  they  cannot 
understand.  And  none  consider- 
eth  in  his  heart,  neither  is  there 
knowledge  nor  understanding  to 
say,  1  have  burnt  part  of  it  in  the 
fire;  yea,  also  I  have  baked  bread 
upon  the  coals  thereof;  I  have 
roasted  flesh,  and  eaten  it:  and 
shall  I  make  the  residue  thereof 
an  abomination?  shall  I  fall  down 
to  the  stock  of  a  tree?  He  feedeth 
on  ashes:  a  deceived  heart  hath 
turned  lilm  aside,  that  he  cannot 
deliver  his  soul,  nor  say,  Is  there 
not  a  lie  in  my  right  hand. 

Isa.  xlv,  16.  They  shall  be 
ashamed,  and  also  confounded,  all 
of  them:  they  shall  go  to  confu- 
sion together  that  are  makers  of 
idols. 

Isa.  xlvi,  1,  2,  7,  8.  Bel  boweth 
down,  Nebo  stoopeth;  their  idols 
were  upon  the  beasts,  and  upon 
the  cattle:  your  carriages  icere 
heavy  loaden;  tfiey  are  a  burden  to 
the  weary  beast.  They  stoop; 
they  bow  down  together;  they 
could  not  deliver  the  burden,  but 
themselves  are  gone  into  capti- 
vity. They  bear  him  upon  the 
shoulder,  they  carry  him,  and  set 
him  in  his  place,  and  he  standeth; 
from  his  place  shall  he  not  re- 
move: yea,  one  shall  cry  unto  him, 
yet  can  he  not  answer,  nor  save 
him  out  of  his  trouble.  Remember 
tliis,  and  shew  yourselves  men; 
bring  it  again  to  mind,  O  ye  trans- 
gressors. 

Jer.  X,  14.  Every  man  is  brutish 
in  his  knowledge;  eveiy  founder 
is  confounded  by  the  graven 
image:  for  his  molten  image  is 
false,  and  there  is  no  breath  in 
them. 

Jer.xl,12.  Then  shallthe  cities  of 
Judah,  and  inhabitants  of  Jeru- 
salem, go  and  cry  unto  the  gods 
unto  whom  they  offer  incense:  but 
they  shall  not  save  them  at  all  in 
the  time  of  their  trouble. 

Jer.  li,  17,  18.  Every  man  is 
brutish  by  his  knowledge;  every 
founder  is  confounded  by  tlie 
graven  Image:  for  his  molten 
image  is  falseliood,  and  there  is 
no  breath  in  them.  They  are 
vanity,  the  work  of  errors:  in  the 
time  of  their  visitation  they  shall 
perish. 

Daniel  xi,  8.  And  shall  also 
carry  captives  into  Egypt  their 
gods,  witii  tlieir  princes,  and  witli 
their  precious  vessels  of  silver  and 
of  gold;  and  he  shall  continue 
more  years  than  the  king  of  the 
north. 

Hosea  vlii,  6.  For  from  Israel 
tvas  it  also:  the  workman  made  It; 
tliercfore  it  Is  not  God:  but  the 
calf  of  Samaria  shall  bo  brolien  in 
pieces. 


Bab.  ii,  18,  19.  What  profiteth 
the  graven  image  that  the  maker 
thereof  hath  graven  it;  the  molten 
image,  and  a  teacher  of  lies,  that 
the  maker  of  his  work  trusteth 
therein,  to  make  dumb  idols?  Woe 
unto  him  that  saith  to  the  wood, 
Av.ake;  to  the  dumb  stone,  Arise, 
it  shall  teach!  Behold,  it  is  laid 
over  with  gold  and  silver,  and 
tfiere  is  no  breath  at  all  in  the 
midst  of  it. 

Zech.  X,  2.  For  the  idols  have 
spoken  vanity,  and  the  diviners 
have  seen  a  lie,  and  have  told  false 
dreams;  they  comfort  in  vain.  . . . 

2  Qor.  vi,  15, 16.  And  what  con- 
cord hath  Christ  with  Belial?  or 
what  part  hath  he  that  believeth 
with  an  infidel?  And  what  agree- 
ment hath  the  temple  of  God 
with  Idols?  for  ye  are  the  temple 
of  the  hving  God;  as  God  hath  said, 
I  will  dwell  in  them,  and  walk  in 
them;  and  1  will  be  their  God,  and 
they  shall  be  my  people.

Deut.  iv,  27,  28.  And  the  Lord 
shall  scatter  you  among  the 
nations,  and  ye  shall  be  left  few 
in  number  among  the  heathen, 
whither  the  Loro  shall  lead  you. 
And  there  ye  shall  serve  gods, 
the  work  of  men's  hands,  wood 
and  stone,  which  neither  see,  nor 
hear,  nor  eat,  nor  smell. 

Deut.  xxviii,  36,  64.  The  Lord 
shall  bring  thee,  and  tliy  king 
which  thou  shalt  set  over  thee, 
unto  a  nation  which  neither  thou 
nor  thy  fathers  have  known;  and 
there  shalt  thou  serve  other  gods, 
wood  and  stone.  And  the  Lord 
shall  scatter  thee  among  all  peo- 
ple, from  tlie  one  end  of  the  eurth 
even  unto  the  other;  and  there 
thou  shalt  serve  other  gods, 
wliich  neither  thou  nor  thy  fathers 
have  known,  even  wood  and 
stone. 

Deut.  xxxl,  16, 20.  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  Moses,  Behold,  thou 
Shalt  sleep  with  thy  fathers;  and 
this  people  will  rise  up,  and  go  a 
whoring  after  the  gods  of  the 
strangers  of  the  land  whither  they 
go  to  be  among  them,  and  will 
forsake  me,  and  break  my  cove- 
nant which  I  have  made  with 
them.  For  when  I  shall  have 
brought  them  into  the  land  which 
I  sware  unto  their  fatliers,  tliat 
flowetli  with  milk  and  honey; 
and  tliey  shall  have  eaten  and 
filled  themselves,  and  waxen  fat; 
then  will  tliey  turn  unto  otlier 
gods,  and  serve  them,  and  provoke 
me,  and  break  my  covenant. 

Josh,  xxiv,  2.  And  Joshua  said 
unto  all  the  people,  Thus  sailli 
the  Luui>  Uod   oi  Israel.    Your 


fathers  dwelt  on  the  other  side  of 
the  flood  In  old  time,  even  Terah, 
the  father  of  Abraham,  and  the 
father  of  Nahor:  and  they  served 
other  gods. 

Judges  xi,  24.  Wilt  not  thou 
possess  that  which  Chemosh  thy 
god  giveth  thee  to  possess?  So 
whomsoever  the  Lord  our  God 
shall  drive  out  from  before  us, 
them  will  we  possess. 

Judges  xvlii,  30,  31.  And  the 
children  of  Dan  set  up  the  graven 
image:  and  Jonathan  the  son  of 
Gersliom,  the  son  of  Manasseh, 
he  and  his  sons  were  priests  to 
the  tribe  of  Dan  until  the  day  of 
the  captivity  of  the  land.  And 
they  set  them  up  Micah's  graven 
image,  which  he  made,  all  the 
time  that  the  house  of  God  was 
in  Shiloh. 

Jer.  xvi,  13.  Therefore  will  I 
cast  you  out  of  this  land  into  a 
land  that  ye  know  not,  neither 
ye  nor  your  fathers;  and  there 
shall  ye  serve  other  gods  day  and 
night,  where  I  will  not  shew  you 
favour. 

Ezek.  XX,  32.  39.  And  that  which 
Cometh  into  your  mind  shall  not 
be  at  all,  that  ye  say,  We  will  be 
as  the  heathen,  as  the  families  of 
tlie  countries,  to  serve  wood  and 
stone.  As  for  you,  O  house  of 
Israel,  thus  saith  the  Lord  God, 
Go  ye,  serve  ye  every  one  his 
idols,  and  hereafter  also,  if  ye 
will  not  hearken  unto  me;  but 
pollute  ye  my  holy  name  no  more 
with  your  gifts,  and  with  your 
idols. 

Hosea  iv,  17.  Ephralm  is  joined 
to  idols:  let  him  alone. 

Acts  xvil,  16-18.  Now  while  Paul 
waited  for  them  at  Athens,  his 
spirit  was  stirred  In  him,  when  he 
saw  tlie  city  wholly  given  to  idola- 
try. Therefore  disputed  he  in  the 
synagogue  with  the  Jews,  and 
with  the  devout  persons,  and  iu 
the  market  daily  with  them  that 
met  with  him.  Then  certain 
pliilosophers  of  the  Epicureans, 
and  of  the  Stoicks,  encountered 
him.  And  some  said,  Wliat  will 
this  babbler  say?  other  some.  He 
seemeth  to  be  a  setter  forth  of 
strange  gods:  because  he  preached 
unto  them  Jesus,  and  the  resur- 
rection. 

Acts  xix,  85,  36  And  when  the 
town-clerk  had  appeased  the  peo- 
ple, he  said,  Ye  men  of  Ephesus, 
wliat  man  is  there  that  knoweth 
not  how  that  the  city  of  the 
Ephesians  Is  a  worshipper  of  the 
great  goddess  Diana,  and  of  the 
i?nage  which  fell  down  from 
Jupiter?  Seeing  then  that  these 
tilings  cannot  be  spoken  against, 
ye  ought  to  be  quiet,  and  to  do 
nothing  rashly. 

1  gor.  xii,  2.  Ye  know  that  yo 


t 


were  Gentiles,  carried  away  unto 
these  dumb  idols,  even  as  ye  were 
led. 

Gal,  iv,  8.  Howheit  then,  when 
ye  knew  not  God,  ye  did  service 
UDto  them  which  by  nature  are  no

1  Thess.  1,  9.  For  they  them- 
S'^lves  shew  of  us  what  manner

Gen.  xxxi,  19.  .  .  .  And  Rachel 
had  stolen  the  images  that  were 
her  father's. 

Exod.  xxxii,  21-24.  And  Moses 
said  unto  Anron,  What  did  this 
people  unto  ^'lee,  that  thou  hast 
brought  so  great  a  sin  upon  them? 
And  Anron  said,  Let  not  the  anger 
of  my  lord  wax  hot:  thou  know- 
est  the  people,  that  they  are  set 
on  mischief.  For  they  said  unto 
me.  Make  us  gods,  which  shall 
go  before  us:  for  as  for  this  Moses, 
the  man  that  brought  us  up  out  of  i 
the  land  of  Egypt,  we  wot  not  | 
what  is  become  of  him.  And  I 
Bald  unto  tli*m.  Whosoever  hath 
any  gold,  let  them  break  it  off. 
So  they  gave  it  me:  then  I  cast 
It  into  the  fire,  and  there  came 
out  this  calf. 

Judges  ii,  16-19.  Nevertheless 
the  Lord  raised  up  judges,  which 
delivered  them  out  of  the  hand  of 
those  tliat  spoiled  them.  And 
yet  they  would  not  hearken  unto 
their  judges,  but  they  went  a 
whoring  after  other  gods,  and 
bowed  themselves  unto  them: 
they  turned  quickly  out  of  the 
way  which  their  fathers  walked 
in,  obeying  the  commandments 
of  the  LoRo;  but  they  did  not  so. 
And  when  the  Lord  raised  them 
up  judges,  then  the  Lord  was 
with  the  judge,  and  delivered 
them  out  of  the  hand  of  their 
enemies  all  the  days  of  the  judge: 
for  it  repented  the  Lord  because 
of  their  groanings,  by  reason  of 
them  that  oppressed  them,  and 
vexed  them.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  when  the  judge  was  dead, 
that  they  returned,  and  corrupted 
themselves  more  than  their  fathers, 
in  following  other  gods  to  serve 
them,  and  to  bow  down  unto 
them:  they  ceased  not  from  their 
own  doings,  nor  from  their  stub- 
born way. 

Judges  xviii,  14,  23,  24.  Then 
answered  the  five  men  that  went

ye  know  that  there  is  in  these 
houses  an  ephod,  and  teraphim. 
and  a  graven  image,  and  a  molten 
image?  now  therefore  consider 
what  ye  have  to  do.  And  they 
ctieU  noto  the  ci.ildren  of  Dan: 
and  they  turned  their  faces,  and 
said  unto  Micah.  What  aileth 
thee,  that  thou  comest  with  such  a 
companj'?  And  he  said,  Ye  iiave 
taken  away  my  gods  v.hich  I 
made,  and  the  priest,  and  ye  are 
gone  away;  and  what  liave  I  more? 
and  what  is  this  that  ye  say  unto 
me,  What  aileth  tliee? 

1  Sani.  V,  7.  And  when  the  men 
of  Ashdod  saw  that  it  was  so,  they 
said,  The  ark  of  the  God  of  Israel 
shall  not  abide  with  us:  for  his 
hand  is  sore  iipon  us,  and  upon 
Dagon  our  god. 

1  Kings  xii,  26-28.  And  Jero- 
boam said  in  his  heart.  Now  shall 
the  kingdom  return  to  the  house 
of  David:  If  this  people  go  up  to 
do  sacrifice  in  the  house  of  the 
Lord  at  Jerusalem,  then  shall  the 
heart  of  this  people  turn  again 
unto  their  lord,  even  unto  Iteho- 
boam  king  of  Judah,  and  they 
shall  kill  me,  and  go  again  to  Re- 
hoboam  king  of  Judah.  Where- 
upon the  king  took  counsel,  and 
made  two  calves  of  gold,  and 
said  unto  them,  It  is  too  much  for 
you  to  go  up  to  Jerusalem:  be- 
hold thy  gods,  O  Israel,  which 
brought  thee  up  out  of  the  land  of 
Egypt. 

1  Kings  xx,  23,  And  the  ser- 
vants of  the  king  of  Syria  said 
unto  him,  Their  gods  are  gods  of 
the  hills,  therefore  they  were 
stronger  than  we;  but  let  us  fight 
against  them  in  tlie  plain,  and 
surely  we  shall  be  stronger  than 
they. 

2  Kings  v,  18.  In  this  thing  the 
Lord  pardon  thy  servant,  that 
when  my  master  goetli  into  the 
house  of  Rimmonto  worship  there, 
and  he  leaneth  on  my  hand,  and 
I  bow  myself  in  the  house  of 
Rimmon  when  I  bow  down  my- 
self in  the  house  of  Rimmon,  the 
Lord  pardon  thy  servant  in  this

2  Kings  xvii,  29,  40,  41.  Howbeit 
every  nation  made  gods  of  their 
own,  and  put  them  in  the  houses 
of  the  high  places  which  the 
Samaritans  had  made,  every  na- 
tion in  their  cities  wherein  they 
dwelt.  Howbeit  they  did  not 
hearken,  but  they  did  after  their 
former  manner.  So  these  nations 
feared  the  Lord,  and  served  tlieir 
graven  images,  both  their  children, 
and  their  children's  children:  as 
did  their  fathers,  so  did  they  unto 
this  day. 

2  Qhron.  xxviii,  23.  For  he  sacri- 
ficed unto  the  gods  of  Damascus 
which  smote  him;  and  he  said, 


Because  the  gods  of  the  kin,2^  of 
Syria  help  them,  therefore  will  I 
sacrifice  to  tliem,  that  tliey  may 
help  me:  but  they  were  the  ruin

Jer.  il,  10. 11.  For  pass  over  the 
isles  of  Chittim  and  see;  and  send

ly, and  see  if  there  be  such  a 
tiling:  Hath  a  nation  changed 
their  gods,  which  are  yet  no  gods? 
but  my  people  liave  changed

profit. 

Jer.  xi,  10.  They  are  turned 
bnek  to  the  Iniquities  of  their 
forefathers,  which  refused  to  hear 
my  words;  and  they  went  after 
other  gods  to  serve  them:  the 
house  of  Israel  and  the  house  of 
Judah  have  broken  my  covenant, 
which  I  made  witli  their  fathers. 

Jer.  XXXV,  15.  I  have  sent  also

but  ye  have  not  in-

saying,  Oh,  do  not  this  abomin- 
able thing  that  I  hate.  But  they 
hearkened  not,  nor  inclined  their 
ear  to  turn  from  their  wickedness, 
to  burn  no  incense  unto  other 
gods. 

Jer.  1,  38.  A  drou.ght  ^■supon  her 
waters;  and  tliey  shall  be  dried  up:

images,  and  they  are  mad  upon 
their  idols. 

Ezelc.  XX,  8.  But  they  rebelled 
against  me,  and  would  not  hear- 
ken unto  me:  they  did  not  every 
man  cast  away  the  abominations 
of  their  eyes,  neither  did  they 
forsake  the  idols  of  Egypt;  then  I 
said,  I  will  pour  out  my  fury  upon 
them,  to  accomplish  my  anger 
against  them  in  the  midst  of  the 
land  of  Egypt. 

Micah  iv,  5.  For  all  people  will

Pharisees  were  gathered  together, 
,)  esus  asked  them,  Saying,  W  liat 
think  ye  of  Christ?  whose  son  is 
he?  They  say  unto  him,  The  son  of 
David.  He  saith  unto  them.  How 
then  doth  David  in  spirit  call  him 
Lord,  saying.  The  Lord  said  unto 
my  Lord,  Sit  thou  on  my  right 
hand,  till  I  make  thine  enemies 
thy  footstool?  If  David  then  call 
him  Lord,  how  is  he  his  son?

Lake  XX,  41-44.    And  he  said 


tinto  them.  How  say  they  that

Psalms,  The  Lord  said  unto  my 
liord,  Sit  thou  on  my  right  hand. 
Till  I  make  thine  enemies  tliy 
footstool.  David  therefore  calleth 
him  Lord,  how  is  he  then  bis  son? 

John  i,  14 And  we  be- 
held his  glory,  the  glory  as  of 
the  only  begotten  of  the  Father. . . 
John  V,  17-21.  But  Jesus  answer- 
ed them,  My  Father  worketh 
hitherto,  and  I  work.  Therefore 
tlie  Jews  sought  the  more  to  kill 
him,  because  he  not  only  liad 
broken  the  Sabbath,  but  said  also 
that  God  was  his  Father,  making 
himself  equal  witli  God.  Then 
answ^ered  Jesus,  and  said  unto 
them,  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 
you.  The  Son  can  do  nothing  of 
himself,  but  what  he  seeth  the 
Father  do:  for  what  thinus  soever 
he  doeth,  these  also  doetli  the  Son 
likewise.  For  the  Father  loveth 
the  Son,  and  shewetli  him  all 
things  that  himself  doeth:  and  he 
will  shew  him  greater  works  than 
these,  that  ye  may  marvel.  For 
as  the  Father  raisetli  up  the  dead, 
and  quickeneth  them;  even  so  the 
Son  quickeneth  wliom  he  will. 

John  viii,  19,  38.  Then  said  they 
unto  him,  Where  is  tJiy  Fatliei? 
Jesus  answered.  Ye  neither  know 
me.  nor  my  Father:  if  ye  had 
known  me,  ye  should  have  known 
my  Father  also.  I  speak  that 
which  I  have  seen  with  my 
Father;  and  ye  do  that  which  ye 
have  seen  with  your  father. 

John  X,  30-36.  I  and  my  Father 
are  one.  Then  the  Jews  took  up 
stones  again  to  stone  liim.  Jesus 
answered  them.  Many  good  w  orks 
liave  I  showed  you  from  my 
Father;  for  which  of  those  works 
do  ye  stone  me?  The  Jews  ans- 
wered him,  saying.  For  a  good 
work  we  stone  thee  not,  but  for 
blasphemy;  and  because  that  thou, 
being  a  man,  makest  thyself  God. 
Jesus  answered  them,  Is  it  not 
written  in  your  law,  I  said,  Ye 
are  gods?  If  he  called  them  gods 
unto  wliom  the  word  of  God  came, 
and  the  Scripture  cannot  he 
broken;  Say  ye  of  him,  whom 
the  Father  liath  sanctified,  and 
sent  into  the  world.  Thou  blas- 
phemest;  because  1  said,  1  am  the 
Son  of  God? 
John  xii,  44,45.  Jesus  cried,  and 


JESUS  CHRIST. 


Bald,  He  that  belleveth  on  me, 
believeth  not  on  me,  but  on  him 
that  sent  me.  And  he  that  seeth 
me,  seeth  him  that  sent  me. 

John  xiv,  7-11.  If  ye  had  known 
me,  ye  should  have  known  my 
Father  also:  and  from  henceforth 
ye  know  him,  and  have  seen  him. 
Philip  saith  unto  him,  Lord,  shew 
lis  the  Father,  and  it  snfflceth  us. 
Jesus  saith  unto  him.  Have  I  been 
so  long  time  with  you,  and  yet 
hast  tlion  not  known  me,  Philip? 
he  that  hath  seen  me  hath  seen 
the  Father;  and  how  sayest  thou 
then,  Shew  us  the  Father?  Be- 
lievest  thou  not  that  I  am  In  the 
Father,  and  the  Father  in  me?  the 
words  that  I  speak  unto  you,  I 
speak  not  of  myself:  but  the 
Father,  that  dwelleth  in  me,  he 
doeth  the  works.  Believe  me 
that  I  am  in  the  Father,  and  the 
Father  in  me:  or  else  believe  m^ 
for  the  very  works'  sake. 

John  XV,  23. 24.  He  that  hateth 
me,  hateth  my  Father  also.  If  I 
had  not  done  among  them  the 
works  which  none  other  man  did, 
they  had  not  had  sin:  but  now 
have  they  both  seen  and  hated 
both  me  and  my  Father. 

John  xvii,  10,21-23.  And  all  mine 
are  thine,  and  thine  are  mine;  and 
I  am  glurifled  in  them.  That  they 
all  may  be  one;  as  thou.  Father,  art 
In  me,  and  I  in  thee,  that  they 
also  may  be  one  in  us:  that  the 
world  may  believe  that  thou  hast 
sent  me.  And  the  glory  which 
thou  gavest  me  I  have  given 
them;  that  they  may  be  one,  even 
as  we  are  one:  I  in  them,  and 
thou  in  me,  that  they  may  be 
made  perfect  in  one;  and  that  the 
world  may  know  that  thou  hast 
sent  rae,  and  hast  loved  them, 
as  thou  hast  loved  me. 

Phil,  ii,  6.  Who,  being  in  the 
form  of  God,  thought  it  not  rob-

Heb.  i,  5.  For  unto  which  of  the 
angels  said  he  at  any  time.  Thou 
art  my  Son.  this  day  have  I  be- 
gotten thee?  And  again,  I  will 
be  to  him  a  Father,  and  he  shall 
be  to  me  a  Son? 

Heb.  ili,  5,  6.  And  Moses  verily 
was  faithful  in  all  his  house,  as  a 
servant,  for  a  testimony  of  those 
things  which  were  to  be  spoken 
after,  But  Christ  as  a  Son  over 
his  own  house;  whose  house  are 
we,  if  we  hold  fast  the  confidence 
and  the  rejoicing  of  the  hope  firm 
unto  the  end. 

Heh.  V,  5.  8.  So  also  Christ 
glorified  not  himself  to  be  made 


an  high  priest;  but  he  that  said 
unto  him,  Tliou  art  my  Son,  to- 
day have  I  begotten  thee.  Thou;?h 
hft  were  a  Son,  yet  learned  he 
obedience  by  the  things  which  he 
suffered. 

1  John  il,  23.  Whosoever  denieth 
the  Son,  the  same  hath  not  the 
Father:  \but  he  that  acknovMdgeth 
the  Son,  hath  the  Father  also.] 

1  John  iv,  15.  Whosoever  shall 
confess  that  Jesus  is  the  Son  of 
God,  God  dwelleth  in  him,  and  ho 
in  God.

John  vi,  61,  62.  When  Jesus 
knew  in  himself  that  his  disciples 
murmured  at  it,  he  said  unto  them, 
Doth  this  offend  you?  What  and 
if  ye  shall  see  the  Son  of  man 
ascend  up  where  he  was  before? 

John  viii,  56-58.  Your  father 
Abraham  rejoiced  to  see  my  day: 
and  he  saw  it,  and  was  glad. 
Then  said  the  Jews  unto  him, 
Thou  art  not  yet  fifty  years  old, 
and  hast  thou  seen  Abraham? 
Jesus  said  unto  them,  Verily, 
verily,  I  say  unto  you,  Before 
Abraham  was,  I  am. 

John  xiii,  3.  Jesus  knowing 
that  the  Father  had  given  all

Father,  glorify  thou  me  with  thine 
own  self  with  the  glory  which  I 
had  with  thee  before  the  world 
was.  Father,  I  will  that  they  also 
whom  thou  hast  given  me  be 
with  me  where  I  am;  that  they 
may  behold  my  glory,  which  thou 
hast  given  me:  for  thou  lovedst 
me  before  the  foundation  of  the

divided  against  itself  shall  not

John  xvi,  30.  Now  are  we  sure

John  xxi,  17.  He  saith  unto*

Jonas,  lovest  thou  me?  Peter  was

4.— WOKKS  OF  GOD  ASCRIBED 
TO  HIM. 

CREATION. 

John  i,  3,  10.  All  things  were 
made  by  him;  and  without  him 
was  not  any  tiling  made  that  was 
made.  He  was  in  the  world,  and 
the  world  was  made  by  him,  and 
the  world  knew  him  not. 

Eph.  iii,  9.  And  to  make  all  men 
see  what  is  the  fellowship  of  the 
mystery,  which  from  tlie  begin- 
ning of  the  world  hath  been  hid 
in  God,  who  created  all  things  by 
Jesus  Christ. 

^ol.  1, 16.  For  by  him  were  all 
things  created  that  are  in  heaven, 
and  that  are  in  earth,  visible  and 
Invisible,  whether  they  be,  thrones, 
or  dominions,  or  principalities,  or 
powers;  all  things  were  created  by 
him,  and  for  him. 

Heb.  1,  2, 10.  Hath  In  these  last 
days  spoken  unto  us  by  his  Son, 
whom  he  hath  appointed  heir  of 
all  things,  by  whom  also  he  made 
the  worlds;  And,  Thou,  Lord,  in 
the  beginning  hast  laid  the  foun- 
dation of  the  earth;  and  the 
heavens  are  the  works  of  thine 
hands. 

Bev.  iii,  14.  And  unto  the  angel  of 
the  church  of  the  Loadiceanswrite; 
These  things  saith  the  Amen,  the 
faithful  and  true  Witness,  the 
beginning  ot  the  creation  of  God.

JESUS   CHRIST. 

Heb.  i,  3.  Who,  being  the  bright- 
ness of  his  glory,  and  the  express 
image  of  his  person,  and  uptiold- 
ing  all  things  by  the  word  of  his 
power,  when  he  had  by  himself 
purged  our  sins,  sat  down  on  the 
right  hand  of  the  Majesty  on  high. 

Resurrection. 

John  V,  21,  25,  28,  29.  For  as  the 
Father  raiseth  up  the  dead,  and 
quickeneth  them;  even  so  the  Son 
quickeneth  whom  he  will.  Verily, 
verily,  1  say  unto  you,  The  hour 
is  coming,  and  now  is,  when  the 
dead  shall  hear  the  voice  of  the 
Son  of  God;  and  they  that  hear 
shall  live.  Marvel  not  at  this:  for 
the  hour  is  coming,  in  the  which 
all  that  are  in  the  graves  shall 
hear  his  voice.  And  shall  come 
forth;  they  that  have  done  good, 
unto  the  resurrection  of  life;  and 
they  that  have  done  evil,  unto 
the  resurrection  of  damnation. 

John  vi,  40.  And  this  is  the  will 
of  him  that  sent  me,  that  every 
one  which  seeth  the  Son,  and  be- 
lieveth  on  him,  may  have  ever- 
lasting life:  and  1  will  raise  him 
up  at  the  last  day. 

Judgment. 

Matth.  xxiv,  30.  And  then  shall 
appear  the  sign  of  the  Son  of  man 
in  heaven;  and  then  shall  all  the 
tribes  of  the  earth  mourn,  and 
they  shall  see  the  Son  of  man 
coming  In  the  clouds  of  heaven 
with  power  and  great  glory. 

Johny,22,'27.  For  the  Father 
judgeth  no  man,  but  hath  com- 
mitted all  judgment  unto  the  Son; 
And  hath  given  him  authority  to 
execute  judgment  also,  because  he 
is  the  Son  of  man. 

Rom.  xiv,  10.  But  why  dost  thou 
judge  thy  brother?  or  why  dost 
thou  set  at  nought  thy  brother  ? 
for  we  shall  all  stand  before  the 
judgment-seat  of  Christ. 

5.  DIVINE  PREROGATIVES 
WIELDED  BY  HIM. 

foegiveness  of  sin. 

Mark  ii,  5-7.  When  Jesus  saw 
their  faith,  he  said  unto  the  sick  of 
the  palsy,  Son,  thy  sins  be  for- 
given thee.  But  there  were  cer- 
tain of  the  scribes  sitting  there, 
and  reasoning  in  their  hearts. 
Why  doth  this  man  thus  speak 
blasphemies?  who  can  forgive  sins 
but  God  only  ? 

Luke  V,  21,  22.  And  the  Scribes 
and  the  Pharisees  began  to  rea- 
son, saying,  Who  is  this  which 
speaketh  blasphemies?  Who 
can  forgive  sins  but  God  alone? 
But  when  Jesus  perceived  their 
thoughts,  he  answering,  said  unto 
them.  What  reason  ye  in  your 
heaits? 

Luke  vil,  47-49.  Wherefore,  I 


say  unto  thee,  Her  sins,  which  are 
many  are  forgiven;  fiT  she  loved 
much:  but,  to  whom  liltlii  is  for- 
given ^Ae  same  loveth  Utile.  And 
he  said  unto  her.  Thy  sins  are 
forgiven.  And  they  that  sat  at 
meat  with  him  began  to  say  with- 
in themselves,  Who  is  this  that 
forgiveth  sins  also? 

Qol.  iii,  13 Even  as 

Christ  forgave  you,  so  also  do  ye. 

Gift  of  Holt  Spirit  and 
Heaven. 

Luke  xxili,  43.  And  Jesus  said 
unto  him.  Verily  I  say  unto  thee, 
To-day  shalt  thou  be  with  me  in 
paradise. 

Luke  xxiv,  49.  And,  behold,  I 
send  the  promise  of  my  Father 
upon  you:  but  tarry  ye  in  the  city 
of  Jerusalem,  until  ye  be  endued 
with  power  from  on  high, 

John  xiv,  2,  3.  In  my  Father's 
house  are  many  mansions:  if  it 
loere  not  so,  I  would  have  told 
you.  I  go  to  prepare  a  place  for 
you.  And  if  I  go  and  prepare 
a  place  for  you,  I  will  come  again, 
and  receive  you  unto  mysell;  that 
where  I  am,  thert  ye  may  be  also. 

John  xvi,  7,  14,  Nevertheless  I 
tell  you  the  truth;  It  is  expedient 
for  ycu  that  I  go  away:  for  if  I  go 
not  away,  the  Comforter  will  not 
come  unto  you;  but  if  I  depart,  I 
will  send  him  unto  you.  He  shall 
glorify  me:  for  he  shall  receive  of 
mine,  and  shall  shew  it  unto  you. 

Heb.  v,  9.  And  being  made  per-        I 
feet,    he    became    the    author  of 
eternal  salvation  unto  all  them 
that  obey  him. 

Rev.  li,  26,  27.  And  he  that  over- 
cometh,  and  keepeth  my  works 
unto  the  end,  to  him  will  I  give 
power  over  the  nations;  And  he 
shall  rule  them  with  a  rod  of  iron; 
as  the  vessels-  of  a  pott«r  shall 
they  be  broken  to  shivers:  even  as 
I  received  of  my  Father. 

Rev.  iii,  7,  And  to  the  angel  of 
the  cliurch  in  Philadelphia  write; 
These  things  saith  he  that  is  holy, 
he  that  is  true,  he  that  hath  the 
key  of  David,  he  that  openeth, 
and  no  man  shutteth;  and  shut- 
teth,  and  no  man  openeth. 

6._W0RSHIP  DUE  TO  GOD 

OFFERED  TO  CHRIST  AND 

NEVER  REFUSED  BY  HIM. 

Fs.  Ixxii,  15,  17.   And  he  shall 

live,  and  to  him  shall  be  given  of 

the  gold  of  Sheba:   prayer  also 

shall  be  made  for  him  continually; 

and  daily  shall    he    be    praised. 

His  name  shall  endure  for  even 

his  name  shall  be  continued  as

were  come  into  the  house,  they 
Baw  the  young  child  with  Mary

What  wilt  thou?  She  saith  unto

him. 

John  xiv,  13,  14.  And  whatso- 
ever ye  shall  ask  in  my  name,  that 
will  1  do,  that  the  Father  may  be 
glorified  in  the  Son.  If  ye  shall 
ask  any  thing  in  my  name,  I  will 
do  it.

golden  vials  full  of  odours,  which 
are  the  prayers  of  saints.  And

Thou  art  worthy  to  take  the  book, 
and  to  open  the  seals  thereof:  for 
thou  wast  slain,  and  hast  redeem 


Hev.  vil,  9,  10.  After  this  I  be- 
held, and,  lo,  a  great  multitude, 
which  no  man  could  number,  of 
all  nations,  and  kindreds,  and 
people,  and  tongues,  stood  before

woman  of  Samaria  to  draw  water: 
Jesus  saith  unto  her.  Give  me  to 
drink.

PROVED  BY  THE  FUI>FIL. 

MI^NT  OF  PROPHECY. 

1.— PROPHECY  AND  FULFIL- 
MENT   ABOUT    HIS    BIRTH. 

ITS  PLACE. 

Micah  V,  2.  But  thou,  Bethlehem 
Ephratah,  though  thou  be  little 
among  the  thousands  of  Judah, 
yet  out  of  thee  shall  he  come  forth 
unto  me  that  is  to  be  ruler  in 
Israel;  whose  goings  forth  have 
been  from  of  old,  from  everlast- 
ing.   

Matth.  ii,  1,  2,  4-6.  Now,  when 
Jesus  was  born  in  I'etldehem  of 
Jutiea,  in  the  days  of  Herod  the 
king,  behold,  there  came  wise 
men  from  the  east  to  Jerusalem, 
Saying,  Where  is  he  that  is  born 
King  of  the  Jews?  for  we  have 
seen  his  star  in  the  east,  and  are 
come  to  worship  him.  And  when 
he  had  gathered  all  the  chief 
priests  and  scribes  of  the  people 
together,  he  demanded  of  them 
where  Christ  should  be  born. 
And  they  said  unto  him.  In  Beth- 
lehem of  Judea:  for  thus  it  is 
written  by  the  prophet.  And 
thou,  Bethlehem,  in  tlie  land  of 
Juda,  art  not  the  least  among  the 
princes  of  Juda:  for  out  of  thee 
shall  come  a  Governor,  that  shall 
rule  my  people  Israel. 

Lulit  ii,  4-7,  15,  16.  And 
Joseph  also  went  up  from  Galilee, 
out  of  the  city  of  Nazareth,  into 
Judea,  unto  the  city  of  David, 
which  is  called 'Bethlehem,  (be- 
cause he  was  of  the  house  and 
lineage  of  David,)  To  be  taxed 
with  Mary  his  espoused  wife, 
being  great  with  child.  And  so 
it  was,  that,  while  they  were  tliere, 
the  days  were  accomplished  that 
she  should  be  delivered.  And  she 
brought  forth  her  first-born  son. 

And  it  came  to  pass,  as 

the  angels  were  gone  away  from 
them  into  heaven,  the  shepherds 
said  one  to  another,  Let  us  now 
go  even  imto  Bethlehem,  and  flee 


thts  thing  which  is  come  to  pass, 
which  the  Lord  hath  made  known 
unto  us.  And  they  came  with 
haste,  and  found  Mary  and  Joseph, 
and  the  babe  lying  in  a  manger. 

Its  Time. 
Dan.  ix,  25.  Know  therefore  and 
understand,  Viat  Irom  the  going 
forth  of  the  commandment  to  re- 
store and  to  build  Jerusalem  unto 
the  Messiah  the  Prince  shall  be 
seven  weeks,  and  threescore  and 
two  weeks:  the  street  shall  be 
built  again,  and  the  wall,  even  in 
troublous  times. 

Luke  Ii,  1.  And  it  came  to  pass 
in  tliose  days,  that  there  went  out 
a  decree  from  Ce?ar  "Augustus, 
that  all  the  world  should  be 
taxed. 

Luke  iii,  1.  Now,  in  the  fifteenth 
year  of  the  reign  of  Tiberius 
Cesar  Pontius  Pilate  being  gover- 
nor of  Judea,  and  Herod  being 
tetrarch  of  Galilee,  and  his  brother 
Philip  tetrarch  of  Itureaand  of 
the  region  of  Trachonitis,  and 
Lysanias  the  tetrarch  of  Abilene. 

Gal.  iv,  4 When  the  ful- 
ness of  the  time  was  come,  God 
sent  forth  his  Son 

Born  of  a  Virgin. 

Isa.  vii,  14-16.  Therefore  the 
LoRi^  himsell  shall  give  you  asgn; 
Behold,  a  virgin  shall  conceive, 
and  bear  a  son.  and  shall  call  his 
name  immanuel.  Butter  and 
honey  shall  he  eat,  that  he  may 
know  to  refuse  the  evil,  and  choose 
the  good.  For  before  the  child 
shall  know  to  refuse  the  evil,  and 
choose  the  good,  the  land  that 
thou  abhorrest  shall  be  forsaken 
of  both  her  kings. 

Micah  V,  3.  Therefore  will  he 
give  them  up,  until  the  time  that 
slie  which  truvaiielh  hath  brought 
forth;  then  the  remnant  of  his 
brethren  shall  return  unto  the 
children  of  Israel. 


3fatth.  i,  22,  23,  25.  (Now  all  this 
was  dune,  that  it  might  be  fuUilled 
which  was  spoken  of  the  Lord  by 
the  prophet,  saying,  Behold,  a 
virgin  shall  be  with  child,  and 
shall  bring  forth  a  son,  and  they 
siiall  call  his  name  Emmanuel; 
which,  being  interpreted,  is,  God 
with  us.)  And  knew  her  not  till 
she  had  brought  forth  her  first- 
born son:  and  he  called  his  name 
JESUS. 

Luke  i,  26,  27,  34.  And  in  the 
sixth  montli  the  angel  Gabriel  was 
sent  from  God  unto  a  city  of 
Galilee,  named  Nazareth,  To  a 
virgin  espoused  to  a  man,  whose 
name  was  Joseph,  of  the  house  of 
David;  and  tlie  virgin's  name  was 
Mary.  Then  said  Mary  unto  the 
angel,  How  shall  this  be,  seeing  I 
hiiow  not  a  man?

all  nations,  and  the  Desire  of  all 
nations  shall  come :  and  I  will  All

Lord  of  hosts.  The  glory  of  this 
latter  house  shall  be  greater  than 
of  the  former,  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts:  and  In  this  place  will  I  give 
peace,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

Mai.  iii,  1.  Behold,  I  will  send 
my  messenger,  and  he  shall  pre- 
pare the  way  before  me:  and  the 
Lord,  whom  ye  seek,  shall  sud- 
denly come  to  his  temple 

Luke  ii,27, 28  38.  And  he  [Simeon]

took  he  him  up  in  his  arms,  and 
blessed  God.  .  .  .  And  sLie  [Anna] 
coming  in  that  instant,  gave 
thanks  likewise  unto  the  Lord, 
and  spake  of  him  to  all  them

Jerusalem.

Lord;    Hosanna   in   the   highest. 

Mark  xii,  36-37.  And  Jesus  an- 
swered and  said,  while  he  taught 
in  the  temple.  How  say  the 
scribes  that  Christ  is  the  son  of 
David?  For  David  himself  said 
by  the  Holy  Ghost,  the  Lord 
said  to  my  Lord,  Sit  thou  on  my 
right  band,  till  I  make  thine

Massacre  of  the  Children  ih 
Bethlehem. 

Jer.  xxxi,  15-17.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  A  voice  was  heard  in  Ra- 
mah,  lamentation,  and  bitter 
weeping;  Rachel  weeping  for  her 
chiklren,  relused  to  he  comforted 
for  her  children,  because  they  ' 
were  not.  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Refrain  thy  voice  from  weeping, 
and  thine  eyes  from  tears:  for  thy 
work  shall  be  rewarded,  saith  the 
Lord;  and  they  shall  come  again 
from  the  land  of  the  enemy.  And 
there  is  hope  in  thine  end,  saith 
the  Lord,  that  thy  children  shall 
come  again  to  their  own  border. 


3Iatth.  ii,  7,  8,16-18.  Then 
Herod,  when  he  had  privily 
called  the  wise  men,  enquired  of 
them  diligently  what  time  the 
star  appeared.  And  he  sent  them 
to  Bethlehem,  and  said.  Go  and 
search  diligently  for  the  young 
child;  and  when  ye  have  found  him, 
bring  me  word  again,  that  I  may 
come  and  worship  him  also.  Then 
Herod,  when  he  saw  that  he  was 
mocked  of  the  wise  men,  was 
exceeding  wroth,  and  sent  forth, 
and  slew  all  the  children  that 
were  in  Bethlehem,  and  in  all  the 
coasts  thereof,  from  two  years  old 
and  under,  according  to  the  time 
which  he  had  diligently  enquired 
of  the  wise  men.  Then  was  ful- 
filled that  which  was  spoken  by 
Jeremy  the  prophet,  saying.  In 
Rama  was  there  a  voice  heard, 
lamentation,  and  weeping,  and 
great  mourning,  Rachel  weeping 
for  her  children,  and  would  not 
be  comforted,  because  they  are 
not. 

Refuge  in  Egypt. 
Hosea  xi,  1.  When  Israel  teas  a 
child,  then  I  loved  him,  and  called 
my  son  out  of  Egypt.

he  took  the  young  child  and  his 
mother  by  night,  and  departed 
into  Egypt;  And  was  there  until 
the  death  of  Herod:  that  it  might 
be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken  ot 
the  Lord  by  the  prophet,  saying, 
Out  of  Egypt  bave  I  called  my 
eon.

Isa.  xlli,  2,  3.  He  shall  not  cry, 
nor  lift  up,  nor  cause  his  voice  to 
be  heard  in  the  street.  A  bruised 
reed  shall  he  not  break,  and  the 
smoking  fla.\  shall  he  not  quench: 
he  shall  bring  forth  judgment 
unto  truth. 

Matth.  xi,  29,  SO.  Take  my  yoke 
npon  you,  and  learn  of  me;  for  I  am 
meek  and  lowly  in  heart:  and  ye 
shall  find  rest  unto  your  souls. 
For  my  yoke  is  easy,  and  my  bur- 
den is  light. 

Matth.  xU,  17.  19,  20.  That  It 
might  be  fulfilled,  Avhich  was 
spoken  by  Esaias  the  prophet, 
saying.  He  shall  not  strive,  nor 
cry;  neither  shall  any  man  hear 
his  voice  in  the  streets.  A  bruised 
reed  shall  he  not  break,  and 
smoking  flax  shall  he  not  quench, 
till  he  send  forth  judgment  unto 
victory. 

1  Peter  11,  23.  Who,  when  he 
was  reviled,  reviled  not  again; 
when  he  suffered,  he  threatened 
not;  hut  committed  himself  io  him 
that  judgeth  righteously. 

Uis  Zeaii. 
Ps.  Ixlx,  9.  For  the  zeal  of  thine 
house  hath  eaten  me  up;  and  the 
reproaches  of  them  that  reproach- 
ed thee  are  fallen  upon  me. 

John  11,  17.  And  his  disciples 
remembered  that  it  was  written, 
The  zeal  of  thine  house  hath  eaten 
me  up. 

8.— PROPHECY  AND  ITS 

FULFILMENT    ABOUT    HIS 

WORK. 

AS  A  PUOPHET. 

Deut.  xviii,  15-19.  The  Lord  thy 
God  will  raise  up  unto  tliee  a 
Prophet  from  the  midst  of  thee, 
ot  thy  brethren,  like  unto  me;  unto 
him  ye  shall  hearken;  According 
to  all  that  thou  desiredst  of  the 
Lord  thy  God  in  Iloreb,  in  the 
day  of  the  assembly,  saying.  Let 
me  not  hear  again  the  voice  of  the 
Lord  my  God,  neither  let  me  see 
this  great  fire  any  more,  that  1  die 
not.  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me. 
They  have  well  spoken  that  which 
they  have  spoken.  I  will  raise 
them  up  a  Prophet  from  among 
their  brethren,  like  unto  thee,  and 
will  put  my  words  in  his  mouth; 
and  he  shall  speak  unto  them  all 
that  I  shall  command  him.  And 
It  shall  come  to  pass,  that  whoso- 
ever will  not  hearken  unto  my 
words,  which  he  shall  speak  in 
my  name,  I  will  require  it  of  him. 


Acts  ill,  22,  23.  For  Moses  truly 
said  unto  tlio  fathers,  A  Prophet 
shall  tho  Lord  your  God  raise  up 
unto  you  of  your  brethren,  like 
unto  me;  him  shall  ye  hear  In  all 
things  whatsover  he  shall  say  unto 
you.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  every  soul,  whichwill  not  hear 
that  Prophet,  shall  be  destroyed 
from  among  the  people. 

Acts  vli,  37.  This  is  that  Moses 
which  said  unto  the  children  of 
Israel,  A  Prophet  shall  the  Lord 
your  God  raise  up  unto  you  of 
your  brethren,  Uke  unto  me;  him 
shall  ye  hear. 

As  A  Healer. 
Isa.  liil,  4.  Surely  he  hath  borne 
our  griefs,  and  curried  our  sor- 
rows; yet  we  did  esteem  him 
stricken,  smitten  of  God,  and  af- 
flicted. 


Matth.ym,  16, 17.  When  the  even 
was  come,  they  brought  unto  him 
many  that  were  possessed  with 
devils:  and  he  cast  out  the  spirits 
with  his  word,  and  healed  all  that 
were  sick:  That  it  might  be  ful- 
filled which  was  spoken  by  Esaias 
the  prophet,  saying.  Himself  took 
our  infirmities,  and  bare  our  sick- 
nesses. 

As  A  Speaker  of  Parables. 
Ps.  Ixxviii,  2.     I  will  open  my 
mouth  in  a  parable:  I  will  utter 
dark  sayings  of  old. 

Matth.  xlil,  34,  35.  All  these 
things  spake  Jesus  unto  the  mul- 
titude in  parables;  and  without  a 
parable  spake  he  not  unto  them: 
That  it  might  be  fulfilled  which  was 
spoken  by  the  prophet,  saying,  I 
will  open  my  mouth  in  parables;  I 
will  utter  things  which  have  been 
kept  secret  from  the  foundation  of 
the  world. 

As  A  Preacher. 

Ps.  xl,  9.  I  have  preached  right- 
eousness in  the  great  congrega- 
tion: lo,  I  have  not  refrained  my 
lips,  O  Lord,  thou  knowest. 

Isa.  xi,  4.  But  with  righteous- 
ness shall  he  judge  the  poor,  and 
reprove  with  equity  for  the  meek 
of  the  earth 

Isa.  lix,  20.  And  the  Redeemer 
shall  come  to  Zion,  and  unto  them 
that  turn  from  transgression  in 
Jacob,  saith  the  Lord. 

Isa.  Ixi,  1-3.  The  Spirit  of  the 
Lord  God  is  upon  me;  because  the 
Lord  hath  anointed  me  to  preach 
good  tidings  unto  the  meek:  he 
hath  sent  me  to  bind  up  the 
broken-hearted,  to  proclaim  liber- 
ty to  the  captives,  and  the  opening 
of  the  prison  to  them  that  are 
bound;  To  proclaim  the  accept- 
able year  of  the  Lobd,  and  the  day 
291 


of  vengeance  of  our  God;  to  com- 
fort all  that  mourn;  To  appoint 
unto  them  that  mourn  in  Zion,  to 
give  unto  them  beauty  for  ashes, 
the  oil  of  joy  for  mourning,  the 
garment  of  praise  for  tlie  spirit  of 
heaviness;  tliat  they  might  be 
called  Trees  of  righteousness.  The 
planting  of  the  Lord,  that  he  might 
be  glorified. 


Luke  Iv,  18-21.  The  Spirit  of  the 
Lord  is  upon  me,  because  he  hath 
anointed  me  to  preach  the  gospel 
to  the  poor;  he  hath  sent  me 
to  heal  the  broken-hearted,  to 
preach  deliverance  to  the  captives, 
and  recovering  of  sight  to  the 
blind,  to  set  at  liberty  them  that 
are  bruised,  To  preach  the  ac- 
ceptable year  of  the  Lord.  And 
he  closed  the  book,  and  he  gave  it 
again  to  the  minister,  and  sat 
down.  And  the  eyes  ot  all  them 
that  were  in  the  synagogue  were 
fastened  on  him.  And  he  began 
to  say  unto  them,  This  day  is  this 
scripture  fulfilled  in  your  ears. 

IJis  Wisdom  and  Eloquence. 

Isa.  xi,  2,  3.  And  the  Spirit  of 
the  Lord  shall  rest  upon  him,  the 
spirit  of  wisdom  and  understand- 
ing, the  spirit  of  counsel  and 
might,  the  spirit  of  knowledge, 
and  of  the  fear  of  the  Lord;  And 
shall  make  him  of  quick  under- 
standing in  the  fear  of  the  Lord: 
and  he  shall  not  judge  after  the 
sight  of  his  eyes,  neither  reprove 
after  the  hearing  of  his  ears. 

Matth.  xxil,  34, 46.  But  when  the 
Pharisees  had  heard  that  he  had 
put  the  Sadducees  to  silence,  they 
were  gathered  together.  And  no 
man  was  able  to  answer  him  a 
word;  neither  durst  amy  man,  from 
that  day  forth,  ask  him  any  more 
questions. 

Luke  xiv,  6.  And  they  could  not 
answer  him  again  to  these  things. 

£nike  XX,  26,  39,  40.  And  they 
could  not  take  hold  of  his  words 
before  the  people :  and  they  mar- 
velled at  his  answer,  and  held 
their  peace.  Then  certain  of  the 
scribes,  answering,  said,  Master, 
tliou  hast  well  said.  And  after 
that  they  durst  not  ask  him  any 
question  at  all. 

Commencement  of  His 
Ministry  in  Galilee. 
Isa.  ix,  1,  2.  Nevertheless  tho 
dimness  shall  not  he  such  as  was 
in  her  vexation,  when  at  the  first 
he  lightly  afflicted  the  land  of  Ze- 
bulun,  and  the  land  of  Naphtall, 
and  afterward  did  more  grievous- 
ly afflict  her  by  tlie  way  of  the  sea, 
beyond  Jordan,  in  Galilee  of  the 
nations.    The  people  that  walked 


JESUS  CHRIST. 


In  darkness  have  seen  a  ^eat 
light:  tliey  that  dwell  in  the  land 
of  the  shadow  of  death,  upon  them 
hath  the  Ught  shined. 


JIatth.  iv,  12-16.  Now,  when 
Jesus  had  heard  that  John  was 
cast  In  prison,  he  departed  into 
GaUlee;  And  leaving  Nazareth, 
he  came  and  dwelt  in  Capernaum, 
which  is  upon  the  sea  coast,  in 
the  borders  of  Zabulon  and  Neph- 
thalira:  That  it  might  be  fulflUed 
which  was  spoken  by  Esaias  the 
prophet,  saying,  Tlie  land  of  Za- 
bulon, and  the  land  of  Nephthalim, 
by  the  way  of  the  sea,  beyond 
Jordan,  Galilee  of  the  Gentiles; 
The  people  which  sat  In  darkness 
saw  great  light

FILMENT ABOUT  HIS 
APPPvEHENSION,  TRIAL  AND 
DEATH. 

TRIUMPHAL  ENTRY  INTO  JERUSALEM. 

Fs.  cxviii,  26.  Blessed  he  he  that 
Cometh  in  the  name  of  tlie  Lord: 
we  have  blessed  you  out  of  the 
house  of  the  Lord. 

Zech.  ix,  9.  Rejoice  greatly,  O 
daughter  of  Z  ion;  shout,  O  daugh- 
ter of  Jerusalem:  behold,  thy 
King  Cometh  unto  thee:  he  is 
just,  and  having  salvation;  hnvly, 
and  riding  upon  an  ass,  and  upon 
a  colt  the  foal  of  an  ass. 


Matth.  xxi,  4,  5,  15, 16.   All  this 

was  (lone,  that  it  might  be  fulfilled 
which  was  spoken  by  the  prophet, 
saying,  Tell  ye  the  daughter  of 
Sion,  Behold,  thy  King  cometh 
unto  thee,  meek,  and  sitting  upon 
an  ass,  and  a  colt  the  foal  of  an 
ass.  And  when  the  chief  priests 
and  scribes  saw  the  wonderful 
things  that  he  did,  and  the  chil- 
dren crying  in  the  temple,  and 
saying,  Ilosanna  to  tlie  son  of 
David;  they  were  sore  displeased. 
And  said  unto  him,  llearest  them 
what  these  say?  And  Jesus  saith 
unto  them.  Yea;  have  ye  never 
read,  Out  of  tlu)  mouth  of  babes 
and  sucklings  thou  hast  perfected 
praise? 

John  xii,  12-16.  On  the  next  day 

much  people  that  were  come  to 
the  feast,  when  they  heard  that 
Jesus  was  coming  to  Jerusalem, 
Took  branches  of  palm-trees,  and 
went  forth  to  meet  him,und  cried, 
Hosanna:  Blessed  is  the  King  of 
Israel  that  cometh  in  the  name  of 
the  Lord.  And  Jesus,  when  lie 
had  found  a  young  ass,  sat  thereon; 
as  it  is  written.  Fear  not,  daugh- 
ter of  Sion:  behold,  thy  King 
cometh,  sitting  on  an  ass's  coii. 
These  things  understood  not  Ins 
disciplett  at  the    Una:  but  wiieu 


Jesus  was  glorified,  then  remem- 
bered they  that  these  things  were 
written  of  him,  and  that  tliey  had 
done  these  things  unto  him. 

Rejected  by  Mek. 
Isa.  liii,  1-3,  Who  hath  believed 
our  report?  and  to  whom  is  the 
arm  of  the  Lord  revealed?  For 
he  shall  grow  up  before  him  as  a 
tender  plant,  and  as  a  root  out  of 
a  dry  ground:  he  hath  no  form 
nor  comeliness;  and  when  we 
shall  see  him,  there  is  no  beauty 
that  we  should  desire  him.  He  is 
despised  and  rejected  of  men;  a 
man  of  sorrows,  and  acquainted 
with  grief:  and  we  hid  as  it  were 
OMr  faces  from  him;  he  was  des- 
pised, and  we  esteemed  him  not. 

Matth.  xiii,  13-15.  Therefore 
speak  I  to  them  in  parables:  be- 
cause they  seeing,  see  not;  and 
hearing,  they  hear  not;  neither 
do  they  understand.  And  in  them 
is  fulfilled  the  prophecy  of  Esaias, 
which  saith,  By  liearing  ye  shall 
hear,  and  shall  not  understand; 
and  seeing  ye  shall  see,  and  shall 
not  perceive:  For  this  people's 
heart  is  waxed  gross,  and  their 
ears  are  dull  of  hearing,  and  their 
eyes  they  have  closed;  lest  at  any 
time  they  should  see  with  their 
eyes,  and  hear  with  their  ears,  and 
should  understand  with  their 
heart,  and  should  be  converted, 
and  I  should  heal  them. 

Matth.  XV,  7-9.  Ye  hypocrites* 
well  did  Esaias  prophecy  of  you, 
saying,  This  people  drawcth  nigh 
unto  me  with  their  mouth,  and 
Iionoureth  me  with  their  lips;  but 
their  heart  is  far  from  me.  But 
in  vain  they  do  worship  me,  teach- 
ing for  doctrines  the  command- 
ments of  men. 

John  xii,  37-40.  But  though  he 
had  done  so  many  miracles  before 
them,  yet  they  believed  not  on 
him:  That  the  saying  of  f^saias 
the  prophet  might  be  fulfilled, 
which  lie  spake.  Lord,  who  hath 
believed  our  report?  and  to  whom 
hath  the  arm  of  tlie  Lord  b(;en  re- 
vealed? Tliereforo  they  could  not 
believe,  because  that  Esaias  said 
again.  He  hath  blinded  their 
eyes,  and  hardened  their  heart; 
that  they  should  not  see  with 
tlieir  eyes,  nor  understand  with 
tlieir  heart,  and  be  converted,  and 
1  should  heal  them. 

Opposed  by  the  Ritlebs. 

ii,  1-3.  Why  do  the  heathen 
rage,  and  the  people  jmagine  a 
vain  thing?  The  kings  of  tlie  earth 
Si3t  till-.. I. Slaves,  and  the  rulers 
take  counsel  together,  against  the 
Lord,  and  ag.aust  his  Anointed, 
sayiuy.  Let  us  break  their  hands 
asuiiuur,  and  cast  away  their  cords 
from  ua.

Acts  ir,  25-28.  Who  by  the 
mouth  of  thy  servant  David  hast 
said,  Why  did  the  heathen  rage, 
and  the  people  ima.^ine  vain 
tilings?  The  kings  of  the  earth 
stood  up,  and  the  rulers  were 
gatliered  together  against  the 
Lord,  and  aguinsl  his  Christ.  For 
of  a  truth  against  thy  holy  child 
Jesus,  whom  thou  hast  anointed, 
both  Herod  and  Pontius  Pilate, 
with  the  Gentiles,  and  the  people 
of  Israel,  were  gathered  together. 
For  to  do  whatsoever  thy  hand 
and  thy  counsel  determined  be- 
fore to  be  done. 

*  Betrayed. 
Ps.   xii,   9.    Yea,    mine    own 
familiar  friend,  in  whom  1  trusted, 
which  did  eat  of  my  bread,  hath 
lifted  up  las  heel  against  me. 

Ps.  Ixix,  25.  Let  tlieir  habitation 
be  desolate,  and  let  none  dwell  in 
their  tents. 

Ps.  cix,  8.  Let  his  days  be  few; 
and  let  another  take  his  office, 

Zech.  xi,  12, 13.  And  I  said  unto 
them,  If  ye  think  good,  give  me 
my  price;  and  if  not,  forbear.  So 
they  weighed  for  my  price  thirty 
pieces  of  silver.  And  tlie  Lord 
said  unto  me,  Cast  it  unto  the 
potter;  a  goodly  price  tliat  I  was 
prized  at  of  them.  And  1  took 
the  thirty  pieces  of  silver,  and  cast 
tliem  to  the  potter  in  the  house  of 
the  Lord. 


Matth.  xxvi,  14-16.  Then  one  of 
the  twelve,  called  Judas  Iscariot, 
went  unto  the  chief  priests.  And 
said  unto  them,  What  will  ye  give 
me,  and  I  will  deliver  liim  unto 
you?  And  they  covenanted  with 
him  for  tliirty  pieces  of  silver. 
And  from  tiiat  time  he  sought  op- 
portunity to  betray  him. 

Matth.  xxvii,  6-10.  And  the  chief 
pries  s  took  tlie  silver  pieces,  and 
eaid,  It  is  not  lawful  for  fo  put 
them  into  the  treasury,  because 
it  is  the  price  of  blood.  And  tliey 
took  counsel,  and  bought  with 
them  the  potter's  field,  to  bury 
strangers  in.  Wherefore  that 
field  was  called.  The  field  of 
blood  unto  this  day.  (Then  was 
lulllUed  that  which  was  spolien 
by  Jeremy  the  propliet,  saying. 
And  they  took  the  tinny  pieces  of 
silver,  tlie  price  of  him  that  was 
valued,  whom  tliey  of  the  children 
of  Israel  did  value.  And  gave 
them  for  the  p..tt«  r's  field,  as  the 
Lord  appointed  me.) 

Mark  xiv,21.  The  Son  of  man  In- 
deed goeth,  as  it  is  written  of  him; 
but  woe  to  that  man  by  whom  the 
Son  of  man  is  betrayed!  good 
were  it  for  that  man  if  he  had 
never  been  born. 

Acts  i,  20.  For  it  is  written  in  the 
book  of  Psalms,  Let  his  habitation 
bo  desolate,  and  let  no  man  dwell 


therein:  and,  His  bishoprick   let 
anotlier  take. 

Silent  during  his  Trial. 
Isa.  liii,  7.  Tie  was  oppressed, 
and  he  was  afflicted,  yet  lie  opened 
not  Ills  mouth:  he  is  brought  as  a 
lamb  to  tlie  slauprliter,  and  as  a 
Bheep  before  her  shearers  is  dumb, 
so  he  openetli  not  Lis  mouth. 

Matth.  xxvli,  12-14.  And  when 
he  was  accused  of  the  cliief  priests 
and  elders,  he  answered  nothing. 
Then  said  Pilate  unto  him,  near- 
est thou  not  how  many  things  they 
witness  agaUisl  thee?  And  he 
answered  him  to  never  a  word; 
insomuch  that  the  governor  mar- 
velled greatly. 

John  xix,  8-10.  When  Pilate 
therefore  heard  that  saying,  he 
was  the  more  afraid;  And  went 
again  into  the  judgment-hall,  and 
saith  untd  Jesns,  Whence  art 
thou?  But  Jesus  gave  liim  no 
answer.  Then  saitli  Pilate  unto 
him,  Speakest  thou  notnntome? 
knowest  thou  not  that  I  luive 
power  to  crucify  thee,  and  have 
power  to  release  thee  ? 

Acts  viii,  32-35.  The  place  of  the 
Scripture  wlilch  he  read  was  this. 
He  was  led  as  a  slieep  to  the 
Blausliter;  and  like  a  lamb  dumb 
before  his  shearer,  so  opened  he 
not  his  mouth:  In  his  humilia- 
tion his  judgment  was  taken  away: 
and  who  sliall  declare  his  genera- 
tion? for  his  life  is  taUen  Irom  the 
earth.  And  the  eunuch  answered 
Philip,  and  said,  I  pray  tliee,  of 
whom  speaketh  tlie  prophet  this? 
of  himself,  or  of  some  other  man? 
Then  Philip  opened  his  mouth, 
and  began  at  tlie  same  scripture, 
and  preached  unto  him  Jesus. 

Innocent. 
John  XV,  25.  Hut  this  cometh  to 
pass,  that  the  word  might  be  ful- 


JESUS   CHRIST. 

saith  \into  them,  Take  ye  him, 
and  crucify  him:  for  I  find  no 
fault  in  him. 

Scourged. 

Isa.  1, 5,  6.  The  Lord  God  hath 
opened  mine  ear,  and  I  was  not 
rebellious,  neither  turned  away 
back.  I  gave  my  back  •  to  the 
smiters,  and  my  cheeks  to  them 
that  plucked  olf  the  hair:  I  hid  not 
my  face  from  sliame  and  spit- 
ting. 

Isa.  lii,  14.  As  many  were 
astonished  at  thee;  (his  visage 
was  so  marred  more  than  any 
man,  and  his  form  more  than  the 
sons  of  men.) 

3Iicah  v,  1.  Now  gather  thyself 
in  troops,  O  daughter  of  troops: 
lie  hath  laid  siege  against  us;  they 
shall  smite  the  Judge  of  Israel 
with  a  rod  upon  the  cheek. 

3fatth.  xxvli,  26.  Then  released 
he  Barabbas  unto  them:  and 
when  he  had  scourged  Jesus,  he 
delivered  Mm  to  be  crucified. 

John  xviii,  22.  23.  And  when  he 
had  thus  spolven,  one  of  the 
officers  which  stood  by  struck 
Jesus  with  the  palm  of  his  hand, 
saj  ing,  Answerest  thou  the  high 
priest  so?  Jesus  answered  him. 
If  I  have  spoken  evil,  hear  wit- 
ness of  the  evil;  but  if  well,  why 
smitest  thou  me? 

John  xix,  1.  Then  Pilate  there- 
fore took  Jesus,  and  scourged 
him. 

Ckucipted. 
Ps.  xxii,  14-16.  I  am  poured  out 
like  water,  and  all  my  bones  are 
out  of  joint:  my  heart  is  like  wax; 
it  is  melted  in  the  midst  of  my 
bowels.  My  strength  is  dried  up 
like  a  potsherd;  and  my  tongue 
cleaveth  to  my  jaws;  and  thou 
hast  brought  me  into  tlie  dust  of 
death.  For  dogs  have  compassed 
filled  that  is  written  in  tlieir  law,  |  me;  the  assembly  ot  the  wi(;Jved 


They  hated  me  without  a  cause. 

Matth.  xxvli,  18.  For  he  [Pilate] 
knew  that  for  envy  they  had  de- 
livered hi:n. 

Luke  xxiti,  4.  Then  said  Pilate 
to  tlie  chief  priests  and  to  the 
people,  I  find  no  fault  in  this  man. 

John  xviii,  38.  Pilate  saith  unto 
him,  What  is  truth?  And  when  he 
had  said  this,  he  went  out  again 
unto  the  Jews,  and  saith  unto 
them,  I  find  in  him  no  fault  at  all. 

John  xix,  4,  6.  Pilate  therefore 
went  forth  again,  and  saith  unto 
them,  Behold,  I  bring  him  forth 
to  you.  that  ye  m  ly  know  that  I 
find  no  fault  in  him.  When  the 
chief  priests  therefore  and  officers 
saw  him,  they  cried  out,  saying. 
Crucify  him,  crucify  him.    Pilato 


have  enclosed  me:  they  pierced 
my  hands  and  my  feet. 


3/a«ft.  xxvii,  35,  36.  And  they 
crucified  him,  and  parted  his  gar- 
ments, casting  lots:  that  it  might 
be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken  by 
the  prophet.  They  parted  my 
garments  among  them,  and  upon 
my  vesture  did  they  cast  lots. 
And,  sitting  down,  they  watched 
him  there. 

Mark  xv,  25.  And  it  was  the 
third  hour;  and  they  crucified 
him. 

Luke  xxiii,  33.  And  when  they 
were  come  to  the  place  which  is 
called  Calvary,  there  they  crucified 
him,  and  the  malefactors;  one  on 
the  right  hand,  and  the  other  on 
the  left. 


John  111,  14.  And  as  M  S03 
lifted  up  the  serpent  in  tlie  wil- 
derness, even  so  must  the  Son  of 
man  be  lifted  up. 

Acts  X,  39.  And  we  are  wit- 
nesses of  all  things  which  he  did 
both  in  the  land  of  the  Jews,  and 
in  Jerusalem;  whom  they  slew, 
and  hanged  on  a  tree. 

Drink  given  Him  on  the  Cross. 
Ps.  Ixix,  21.  They  gave  me  also 
gall  for  my  meat;  and  in  my  thirst 
they  gave  me  vinegar  to  drink. 

Matth.  xxvii.  33.  34,  48.  And 
when  they  w<Te  come  unto  a  place 
called  Golgotha  that  is  to  say.  .\ 
place  of  a  skull.  They  gav?  him 
vinegar  to  drink  mingled  with 
gall:  and  when  he  had  tasted 
thereof,  he  would  not  drink.  And 
straightway  one  of  them  ran,  and 
took  a  sponge,  and  filled  it  with 
vinegar,  and  put  it  on  a  reed,  and 
gave  him  to  drink. 

John  xix,  28,  29.  After  this* 
Jesus  knowing  that  all  things 
were  now  accomplished,  that  the 
Scripture  might  be  fulfilled,  saith, 
1  thirst.  Now  there  was  set  a 
vessel  full  .of  vinegar:  and  they 
filled  a  sponge  with  vinegar,  and 
put  it  upon  hyssop,  and  put  it  to 
his  mouth.

garments  among  them,  and  cast 
lots  upon  my  vesture. 

Mark  xv,  24.  And  when  they 
had  crucified  him,  they  parted  his 
garments,  casting  lots  upon  them, 
what  every  man  should  take. 

John  xix,  23,  24.  Then  the 
soldiers,  when  they  had  crucified 
Jesus,  took  his  garments,  and 
made  four  parts,  to  every  soldier 
a  part;  and  also  his  coat:  now  the 
coat  was  without  seam,  woven 
from  the  top  throughout.  They 
said  therefore  among  themselves. 
Let  us  not  rend  it,  but  casts  lots 
for  it,  whose  it  shall  be:  that  the 
scripture  might  be  fulfilled,  which 
saith.  They  parted  my  raiment 
among  them,  and  for  my  vesture 
they  did  cast  lots.  These  things 
therefore  the  soldiers  did. 


Insults  Offered  to  Him. 

Ps.  xxii,  7,  8.  All  they  that  see 
me  laugh  me  to  scorn:  tliey  shoot 
out  the  lip,  they  shake  the  head, 
saying,  He  trusted  in  the  Lord 
that  he  would  deliver  him:  let 
him  deliver  him,  seeing  he  de- 
lighted in  him. 

Ps.  cix,  25.  I  became  also  a  re- 
proach unto  them:  %chen  they 
looked  upon  me  they  shaked  their 
beads. 


JESUS   CHRIST. 


Matth.  xxvlf.  S9-43,  47,  49.  And 
thuy  that  passeil  by  reviled  him, 
wiggin?  their  lieads,  And  saying, 
Thou  that  destroyest  the  temple, 
and  buildest  it  in  tiiree  days,  save 
thyself.  If  thou  be  the  Son  of 
God,  come  down  from  the  cross. 
Likewise  also  the  chief  priests, 
mocking  him.  with  the  scribes 
and  elders,  said,  He  saved  others; 
himself  he  cannot  save.  If  he  bo 
theKlngofIsrael,lethimnowcom« 
down  from  the  cross,  and  we  will 
bellevv'  him.  He  trusted  in  God; 
let  him  delivei  him  now,  if  he  will 
have  him:  for  he  said,  I  am  the 
Son  of  God.  Some  of  them  that 
stood  there,  when  they  heard  that, 
said.  This  7aan  calleth  for  Elias. 
The  rest  said,  Let  be,  let  us  see 
whether  Elias  will  come  to  save 
bim. 

Crucified  with  Two  Thieves, 

Isa.  liii,  12 And  he  was 

numbered  with  the  transgressors; 
and  he  bare  the  sin  of  many,  and 
made  intercession  for  the  trans- 
gressors. 

Luke  xxll,  37.  For  I  say  nnto 
you,  Tliat  this  that  is  written  must 
yet  be  accomplished  in  me.  And  he 
was  reckoned  among  the  trans- 
gressors: tor  I  he  things  couceruing 
me  have  an  end. 


Mark  xv,  27,  28.  And  with  him 
they  crncify  two  thieves;  the  one 
on  his  right  hand  and  the  other 
on  his  left.  And  the  Scripture 
was  fulfilled,  which  saith,  And 
he  was  numbered  with  the  trans- 
gressors. 

Luke  xxiil,  32,  39,  40,  41.  And 
there  were  also  two  others,  male- 
factors, led  with  him  to  be  put  to 
death.  And  one  of  the  malefac- 
tors which  were  hanged  railed 
on  him,  saying.  If  (hou  be  Christ, 
save  thyself  and  us.  But  the  other 
answering,  rebuked  him,  saying, 
Dost  not  thou  fear  God,  seeing 
thou  art  in  the  same  condemna- 
tion? And  we  indeed  justly;  for 
we  receive  the  due  reward  of  our 
deeds:  but  this  man  hath  done  no- 
thing amiss. 

Pierced  with  a  Speab. 
Zech.  xii,  10.  11.  And  I  will  potir 
upon  the  house  of  David,  and  upon 
the  inhabitants  of  Jerusalem,  tiie 
epirit  of  grace  and  of  supplica- 
tions; and  they  shall  look  upon 
me  whom  they  have  pierced,  and 
they  shall  mourn  for  him,  as  one 
mourneth  for  his  only  son.  and 
Bhall  be  in  bitterness  for  him,  iis 
one  that  is  in  bitterness  for  his 
first-born.  In  that  day  shall  there 
be  a  great  mourning  iii  Jerusalem, 
as  the  mourning  of  lladadrim- 
nion  in  the  valley  of  Megiddon. 


I     John  xix,  34,  35,  37,  But  one  of 

j  the  soldiers  with  a  spear  pierced 
!  his  side,  and  forthwith  came  there- 
out blood  and  water.  And  he  that 
saw  it  bare  record,  and  his  record 
I  is  true;  and  he  knoweth  that  he 
I  saith  true,  that  ye  miglit  believe, 
>.nd  again  another  scripture  saith, 
Tliey  shall  looli  on  him  whom 
they  pierced. 

Not  a  Bone  op  Him  Broken. 
Num.  ix,  12,  They  shall  .leave 
none  of  it  [the  paschal  lamb]  unto 
the  morning,  nor  break  any  bone 
of  it:  according  to  all  the  ordin- 
ances ol  the  passover  they  shall 
keep  it. 

John  xix,  31-33,  36.  The  Jews 
therefore,  because  it  was  the  pre- 
paration, that  the  bodies  should 
not  remain  upon  the  cross  on  the 
sabbath-day,  (for  that  sabbatli-day 
was  an  high  day.)  besought  Pilate 
that  their  legs  might  be  broken, 
and  that  they  might  be  taken 
away.  Then  '"ame  the  soldiers, 
and  brake  the  legs  of  the  first,  and 
of  the  other  which  was  crucified 
with  him.  But  when  they  came 
to  Jesus,  and  saw  that  he  was 
dead  already,  they  brake  not  his 
legs:  For  these  things  were  done, 
that  the  scripture  should  be  ful- 
filled, A  bone  of  liim  shall  not  bo 
broken. 

BtJBIED, 

Isa.  liii,  8,  9.  He  was  taken  from 
prison  and  from  judgment:  and 
who  shall  declare  his  genera- 
tion? for  he  was  cut  off  out  of 
the  land  of  the  living:  for  the 
transgression  of  my  people  was  he 
stricken.  And  he  made  his  grave 
with  the  wicked,  and  with  the 
rich  in  his  death;  because  he  had 
done  no  violence,  neither  was  any 
deceit  in  his  mouth. 


3Iatth.  xxvli,  57-60.  When  the 
even  was  come,  there  came  a  rich 
man  of  Arimathea,  named  Joseph, 
who  also  himself  was  Jesus'  dis- 
ciple :  He  went  to  Pilate,  and 
begged  the  body  of  Jesus.  Then 
Pilate  commanded  the  body 
to  be  delivered.  And  when 
Joseph  had  taken  the  body,  he 
wrapped  it  in  a  clean  linen  cloth, 
And  laid  it  in  his  own  new  tomb, 
which  he  had  hewn  out  in  the 
rock:  and  he  rolled  a  great  stone 
to  the  door  of  the  sepulclire,  and 
departed

Fs.  xvl,  8-10,  I  have  set  the

he  is  at  my  right  hand,  I  shall  not 
be  moved.  Therefore  my  heart

my  flesh  also  shall  rest  in  hope: 
For  thou  wilt  not  leave  my  soul  in

h"!';  n^^ft^erwilt  thon  snfTer  thine 
Holy  Ouo  to  see  corruption. 

John  XX,  9,  For  as  yet  they 
knew  not  the  scripture,  that  ho 
must  rise  again  from  the  dead. 
•  .^c^s  11,25-31,  For  David  speaketh 
concerning  him,  I  foresaw  the 
Lord  always  before  my  face;  for 
he  is  on  my  right  hand,  that  I 
should  not  be  moved:  Therefore 
did  my  heart  rejoice,  and  my 
tongue  was  glad;  moreover  also, 
my  flesh  shall  rest  in  hope:  Be- 
cause thou  wilt  not  leave  my  soul 
in  hell,  neither  wilt  thon  suffer 
thine  Holy  One  to  see  corruption. 
Thou  hast  made  l^nown  to  me  tho 
ways  of  life;  thou  slialt  make  mo 
full  of  joy  with  thy  countenance. 
Men  and  brethren,  let  me  freely 
speak  unto  you  of  the  patriarch 
David,  that  he  is  both  dead  and 
buried,  and  his  sepulchre  is  with 
us  unto  this  day.  Therefore  being 
a  prophet,  and  knowins:  that  God 
had  sworn  with  an  oath  to  him, 
that  of  the  fruit  of  his  loins,  ac- 
cording to  the  flesh,  he  would 
raise  up  Christ  to  sit  on  his  throne; 
He,  seeing  this  before,  spake  of 
the  resurrection  of  Christ,  that  his 
soul  was  not  left  in  hell,  neither 
his  Hesh  did  see  corruption. 

Acts  xiil,  32,  33.  And  we  declare 
unto  you  glad  tidings,  how  that 
the  promise  which  was  made  unto 
the  fathers,  God  hath  tal filled 
the  same  unto  us  their  children, 
in  that  he  hath  raised  up  Jesus 
again ;  as  it  is  also  written  in  the 
second  psalm,  Thou  art  my  Son, 
this  day  have  1  begotten  thee.' 

Acts  xvii,  3.  Opening  and  al- 
ledging  that  Christ  must  needs 
have  suffered,  and  risen  again 
from  the  dead;  and  that  this  Jesus, 
whom  I  preach  unto  you,  is  Clirist. 

1  Cor.  XV,  2,  4.  By  which  also  ye 
are  saved,  if  ye  keep  in  memory 
what  I  preached  unto  you,  unless 

ye  have  believed  in  vain 

That  he  was  buried,  and  that  he 
rose  again  the  third  day  according 
to  the  Scriptures. 

ASCENIED. 

Ps.  Ixvlil,  18.  Thou  hast  ascended 
on  high,  thou  hast  led  captivity 
captive:  thou  hast  received  gifts 
for  men;  yea,  for  the  rebellious 
also,  that  the  Lord  God  might 
dwell  among  them. 


Luke  xxiv,  25,  26.  Then  he  said 
unto  them,  O  fools,  and  slow  of 
heart  to  believe  all  that  the  pro- 
phets have  spoken!  Ought  not 
Christ  to  have  suffered  these 
things,  and  to  enter  into  his  glory? 

Eph.  iv,  8-10.  Wherefore  lie 
saith,  When  he  ascended  up  on 
high,  he  led  captivity  captive,  and 
gave  gifts  unto  men,    (Now  that 


JESUS  CHRIST. 


he  ascended,  what  is  It  but  that  ho 
also  descended  first  into  the  lower 
parts  of  the  earth?  He  that  de- 
scended is  the  same  also  that  as- 
cended up  far  above  all  heavens, 
that  he  might  All  all  things? 

IV. 

SOME  POINTS  IN  HIS 
HISTORY. 

1.— BIRTH  AND  CHILDHOOD. 

AS   IN  MATTHEW. 

Matth.  i.  18-2 1 ,  24.  Now  the  birth 
of  Jesus  Christ  was  on  thiswise: 
When  as  his  mother  Mary  was 
espoused  to  Joseph,  before  tliey 
came  together,  slie  was  found  with 
cliild  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  Then 
Joseph  her  husband,  being  a  just 
man.  and  not  willing  to  make  her 
a  publick  example,  was  minded  to 
put  her  away  privily.  But  while 
he  thought  on  these  things,  be- 
hold, the  angel  of  the  Lord  ap- 
peared unto  him  in  a  dream,  say- 
ing, Joseph,  thou  son  of  David, 
fear  not  to  take  unto  thee  Mary 
thy  wife;  for  that  which  is  con- 
ceived in  her  is  of  the  Holy  Ghost. 
And  she  shall  bring  forth  a  son, 
and  thou  shalt  call  his  name 
JESUS:  for  he  shall  save  his 
people  from  their  sins.  Then 
Joseph,  being  raised  from  sleep, 
did  as  the  angel  of  the  Loud  had 
bidden  him,  and  took  unto  him 
his  wife. 

Matth.  H,  19-23.  But  when 
Herod  was  dead,  behold,  an  ansrel 
of  the  Lord  appeared  in  a  dream 
to  Joseph  in  Egypt,  Saying, 
Arise,  and  take  the  young  child 
and  his  mother,  and  go  into  the 
land  of  Israel:  for  they  are  dead 
which  souglit  the  young  child's 
life.  And  he  arose,  and  took  the 
young  child  and  his  mother,  and 
came  into  the  land  of  Israel.  But 
when  he  heard  that  Archelaus 
did  reign  in  Judea  in  the  room  of 
his  father  Herod,  he  was  afraid  to 
go  thither:  notwithstanding,  being 
warned  of  God  in  a  dream,  he 
turned  aside  into  the  parts  of 
Galilee:  And  he  came  and  dwelt 
In  a  city  called  Nazareth:  that  it 
might  be  fulfilled  which  was 
spoken  by  the  prophets,  He  shall 
be  called  a  Nazarene. 

As  m  Luke. 
Luke  i,  28-31, 35. 38, 42-53.  And  the 
angel  came  in  unto  her,  [Mary] 
and  said.  Hail,  thou  that  art  liighly 
favoured,  the  Lord  is  with  tliee: 
blessed  art  thou  among  women. 
And  when  she  saw  him,  she  was 
troubled  at  his  saying,  and  cast  in 
her  mind  what  manner  of  saluta^ 
tion  this  should  be.  And  the 
angel  said  unto  her,  Fear  not, 
Mary:  for  thou  hast  found  favour 
with  God.  And,  behold,  thou 
Shalt  conceive  in  thy  womb,  and 
bring  forth  a  son,  and  shalt  call 


his  name  JESUS.  And  the  an<rel 
answered  and  said  unto  her,  The 
Holy  Ghost  shall  come  upon  thee, 
and  the  power  of  the  Highest 
shall  over-shadow  thee;  therefore 
also  that  holy  thing,  which  shall 
be  born  of  thee,  shall  be  called 
the  Son  of  God.  And  Mary  said. 
Behold  the  handmaid  of  the 
Lord;  be  it  unto  me  according  to 
thy  word.  And  the  angel  depart- 
ed from  her.  And  she  [Elizabeth] 
spake  out  with  a  loud  voice,  and 
said.  Blessed  art  thou  among 
women,  and  blessed  is  the  fruit  of 
thy  womb.  And  whence  is  this 
to  me,  that  the  mother  of  my 
Lord  should  come  to  me?  For, 
lo,  as  soon  as  the  voice  of  thy 
salutation  sounded  in  mine  ears, 
the  babe  leaped  in  my  womb  for 
joy.  And  blessed  is  she  that  be- 
lieved: for  there  shall  be  a  per- 
formance of  those  things  which 
were  told  her  from  the  Lord.  And 
Mary  said.  My  soul  doth  magnify 
the  Lord,  And  my  spirit  hath  re- 
joiced in  God  my  Saviour.  For 
he  hath  regarded  the  low  estate 
of  his  handmaiden;  for,  behold, 
from  henceforth  all  generations 
shall  call  me  blessed.  For  he  that 
is  mighty  hath  done  to  me  great 
things;  and  holy  is  his  name.  And 
his  mercy  is  on  them  that  fear 
him  from  generation  to  generation. 
He  hath  shewed  strength  with  ,his 
arm:  he  hath  scattered  the  proud 
in  the  imagination  of  their  hearts. 
He  hath  put  down  the  mighty 
from  their  seats,  and  exalted  them 
of  low  degree.  He  hath  filled  the 
hungry  with  good  things;  and  the 
rich  he  hath  sent  empty  away. 

Luke  ii,  10,  11,  13,  14,  17-26,  33, 
34,  39-41,  42-51.  And  the  angel 
said  unto  them,  [the  shepherds] 
Fear  not:  for,  behold,  I  bring  you 
good  tidings  of  great  joy,  which 
sliall  be  to  all  people.  For  unto 
you  is  born  this  day,  in  the  city  of 
David,  a  Saviour,  which  is  Christ 
the  Lord.  And  suddenly  there 
was  with  the  «ngel  a  multitude 
of  the  heavenly  host,  praising 
God,  and  saying.  Glory  to  God  in 
the  highest,  and  on  earth  peace, 
good  will  toward  men.  And  when 
they  had  seen  it,  [the  child]  they 
made  known  abroad  the  saying 
which  was  told  them  concerning 
this  child.  And  all  tliey  that 
heard  U  wondered  at  those  things 
wliich  were  told  them  by  the 
sliepherds.  But  Mary  kept  all 
these  things,  and  pondered  them 
in  her  heart.  And  the  shepherds 
returned,  glorifying  and  praising 
God  for  all  the  things  that  they 
had  heard  and  seen,  as  it  was  told 
unto  them.  And  when  eight 
days  were  accomplished  for  the 
circumcising  ot  the  child,  his  name 
was  called  J  ESUS,  which  was  so 
named  of  the  angel  before  he  was 
conceived  in  the  womb.  And 
when  the  days  of  her  purification, 
295 


nccording  to  the  law  of  Mouses, 
were  acoomplislied,  tliey  bruuglit 
him  to  Jerusalem,  to  present  him 
to  the  Lord;  (As  it  is  written  in 
the  law  of  the  Lord,  Every  mala 
that  openeth  the  womb  shall  be 
called  holy  unto  the  Lord:)  And 
to  offer  a  sacrifice,  according  to 
that  which  is  said  in  the  law  ot 
the  Lord,  a  pair  of  turtle  doves, 
or  two  young  pigeons.  And,  be- 
hold, there  was  a  man  in  Jerusa- 
lem, whose  name  icas  Simeon;  and 
the  same  man^was  just  and  devout, 
waiting  for  the  consolation  of 
Israel:  and  the  Holy  Ghost  was 
upon  him.  And  it  was  revealed 
unto  him  by  the  Holy  Ghost,  that 
he  should  not  see  Death,  before 
he  had  seen  the  Lord's  Christ. 
And  Joseph  and  his  mother  mar- 
velled at  those  things  which  were 
spoken  of  him.  And  Simeon 
blessed  them,  and  said  unto  M  ary 
his  mother.  Behold,  this  child  is 
set  for  the  fall  and  rising  again 
of  many  in  Israel;  and  for  a  sign 
which  shall  be  spoken  against. 
And  when  they  had  performed  all 
things  according  to  the  law  of  the 
Lord,  they  returned  into  Galilee, 
to  their  own  city  Nazareth.  And 
the  child  grew,  and  waxed  strong 
in  spirit,  filled  with  wisdom;  and 
the  grace  of  God  was  upon  him. 
Now  his  parents  went  to  Jerusa- 
lem every  year  at  the  feast  of  the 
passover.  And  when  he  was 
twelve  years  old,  they  went  up  to 
Jerusalem,  after  the  custom  otthe 
feast.  And  wlien  they  had  fulfilled 
the  day8,as  they  returned,the  child 
Jesus  tarried  behind  in  Jerusalem; 
and  Josepli  and  his  mother  knew 
not  of  it.  But  they,  supposing  him 
to  have  been  in  the  company,  went 
a  day's  journey;  and  they  sought 
him  among  their  kinsfolk  and 
acqiiaintance.  And  wlien  they 
found  him  not,  they  turned  back 
again  to  Jerusalem,  seeking  him. 
And  it  came  to  pass,  that  after 
three  d:->8,  they  found  him  in  the 
temple,  sitting  in  the  midst  of  the 
doctors,  both  hearing  them,  and 
asking  them  questions.  And  all 
that  heard  him  were  astonished 
at  his  understanding  and  answers. 
And  when  they  saw  him,  they 
were  amazed:  and  his  motlier  said 
unto  him.  Son,  why  hast  thou 
thus  dealt  with  us?  behold,  thy 
father  and  I  have  sought  thee 
sorrowing.  And  he  said  unto 
them,  How  is  it  that  ye  sought 
me?  wist  ye  not  that  I  must  be 
about  my  Father's  business?  And 
they  understood  not  the  saying 
which  he  spake  unto  them.  And 
lie  went  down  with  th^•m  and 
came  to  Nazareth,  and  was  sub- 
ject unto  them:i)ut  his  mother  kept 
all  these  sayings  in  her  heart. 

2.— HIS  RELATIONS   AND 

TRADE. 
Matth.  xli,  46-50.  While  he  yet 


JESUS  CUEIST. 


talked  to  the  people,  behold,  his 
mother  and  liis  brethren  stood 
without,  desiring  to  speak  with 
him.  Then  one  said  unto  him, 
Behold,  thy  mother  and  thy  breth- 
ren stand  witliout,  desiring'  to 
speak  with  thee.  But  lie  answer- 
ed and  said  unto  him  that  told 
him,  Who  is  my  mother?  and  who 
are  mv  brethren?  And  he  stretch- 
ed forth  his  hand  toward  his  dis- 
ciples, and  said.  Behold  my  mother 
and  my  brethren!  Fur  whosoever 
shall  do  the  will  of  my  Father 
which  is  lu  heaven,  the  same  is 
my  brother,  and  sister,  and 
mother. 

Matth.  xiil,  54-57.  And  when  he 
was  come  into  his  own  country, 
he  taught  them  in  their  synagogue, 
insomuch  that  tliey  were  aston- 
ished, and  said,  Whence  hath  tliis 
man  this  wisdom,  and  these 
mighty  v/orks?  Is  not  this  the 
carpenter's  son?  is  not  his  mother 
called  Mary?  and  his  brethren, 
James,  and  Joses,  and  Simon,  and 
Judas?  And  his  sisters,  are  they 
not  all  with  us? 

Mark  iii,  21,  31.  And  when 
his  friends  heard  of  it,  they  went 
out  to  lay  hold  on  him:  for  they 
said.  He  is  keside  himself.  There 
came  then  his  brethren  and  his 
mother,  and,  standing  without, 
sent  unto  him,  calling  him. 

Mark  vi,  3.  Is  not  this  the 
carpenter,  the  son  of  Mary,  the 
brother  of  James,  and  Joses,  and 
of  Juda,  and  Simon?  and  are  not 
his  sisters  here  witli  us?  Aud  they 
were  offended  at  him. 

John  ii,  12.  After  this  he  went 
down  to  Capernaum,  he,  and  his 
mother,  and  his  brethren,  and  his 
disciples;  and  they  continued 
there  not  many  days. 

John  vii,  1-3.  After  these  things 
Jesus  walked  in  Galilee:  for  he 
would  not  walk  in  Jewry,  because 
the  Jews  sought  to  kill  him.  Now 
the  Jews'  feast  of  tabernacles  was 
at  hand.  His  bretl)ren  therefore 
said  unto  him.  Depart  hence,  and 
go  into  Judea,  that  thy  disciples 
al.so  may  see  the  works  that  thou 
doest. 

John  vii,  4-10.  For  there  is  no 
man  that  doeth  any  thing  in 
secret,  and  he  himself  seeketli 
to  be  known  openly:  if  them  do 
these  things,  shew  thyself  to  the 
world.  For  neither  did  his 
brethren  believe  In  him.  Then 
Jesus  said  unto  them.  My  time  is 
not  yet  come:  but  your  time  is 
alway  ready.  The  world  cannot 
hate  you;  but  me  It  hateth,  be- 
cause I  testify  of  It,  that  llio 
works  thereof  are  evil.  Go  ye  up 
unto  this  feast:  I  go  not  up  yet 
unto  this  feast;  for  my  time  is  not 
yet  full  come.  When  he  had  t^aid 
tliese  words  unto  them,  he  abode 
stiM   in  Galilee.    But  when   his 


brethren  were  gone  up,  then 
went  he  also  up  unto  the  feast, 
not  openly,  but  as  it  were  in 
secret. 

Gal.  i,  19.  But  other  of  the 
apostles  saw  I  none,  save  James 
the  Lord's  brother. 

3.— HIS  FORERUNNER,  JOHN 
THE  BAPTIST. 

JOHN  PREDICTED    UNDER  THE  NAME 
OF  ELIAS. 

Isa.  xl,  3,  4.  The  voice  of  him, 
that  crieth  in  the  wilderness, 
Prepare  ye  the  way  of  the  Lord 
make  straight  in  the  desert  a  high- 
way for  our  God.  Every  valley 
shall  be  exalted,  and  every  moun- 
tain and  hill  shall  be  made  low: 
and  the  crooked  shall  be  made 
straight,  and  the  rough  places 
plain. 

Mai.  iv,  5,  6.  Behold.  I  will  send 
you  Elijah  the  prophet  before  the 
coming  ot  the  great  and  dread- 
ful day  of  the  Lord:  And  he  shall 
turn  the  heart  of  the  fathers  to 
the  children,  and  tiie  heart  of  the 
children  to  their  fathers,  lest  I 
c  ino  and  smite  the  earth  with 
a  cur.-^e. 

Luke  i,  17.  And  he  shall  go  bo- 
fore  liim  in  the  spirit  and  power 
ot  Elias,  to  turn  tlie  hearts  of  the 
fathers  to  the  ciiildren,  and  the 
disobedient  to  the  wisdom  of  the 
just;  to  make  ready  a  people  pre- 
pared for  the  Lord. 

3fatth.  iii,  3.  For  this  is  he  that 
was  spoken  of  by  the  prophet 
Esaias,  saying.  The  voice  of  one 
crying  in  tlie  wilderness.  Prepare 
ye  the  way  of  the  Lord,  make  his 
paths  straight. 

3Iatth.  xvii,  10-13.  And  his  dis- 
ciples asked  him  saying.  Why 
then  say  the  scribes  that  Elias 
must  first  come?  And  Jesus  an- 
swered and  said  unto  them,  Elias 
truly  shall  first  come,  and  restore 
all  things.  But  I  say  mito  you. 
That  Ellas  is  come  already,  and 
they  knew  him  not,  but  have  done 
unto  him  whatsoever  they  listed: 
lil\<nvise  shall  also  the  Son  of  man 
suir.r  of  them.  Then  tlie  dis- 
ciples understood  that  he  spake 
unto  them  of  John  the  Baptist. 

John  1,  20-24.  And  he  [John] 
confessed,  and  denied  not;  but 
confessed,  I  am  not  the  Christ. 
And  they  asked  him,  What  tlien? 
Art  thou  Elias?  And  hesaith,  1  am 
not.  Art  thou  that  Prophet?  And 
ho  answered.  No.  Then  said 
they  unto  him,  Who  art  thou? 
that  we  may  give  an  answer  to 
them  that  sent  us:  what  sayest 
Ihou  of  thyseliV  He  said,  i  am  the 
voice  of  one  crying  in  the  wilder- 
ness, Make  slruiglu  the  way  ot 
the  Lord,  as  said  the  prophet 
Esaias.  And  they  which  were 
sent  were  of  tho  Pharisees.

Birth  of  the  Baptist. 

Luke  i.  5.  6,  8-14, 16  57,  59,  60, 65, 
66.80.  There  was,  in  the  days  of 
Herod  the  king  of  Judea,  a  cer- 
tain priest  named  Zacharias,  of 
the  course  of  Abia:  and  his  wife 
was  of  the  daughters  of  Aaron, 
and  her  name  was  Elisabeth.  And 
they  were  both  righteous  before 
God,  walking  in  all  the  command- 
ments and  ordinances  of  the  Lord 
blameless.  And  it  came  to  pass, 
tliat,  while  he  executed  the 
priest's  office  before  God  in  the 
order  of  his  course.  According  to 
the  custom  of  the  priest's  ofHce, 
his  lot  M'as  to  burn  incense  wlieu 
he  went  into  the  temple  of  tlie 
Lord.  And  tlie  whole  multitude 
of  the  people  were  praying  with- 
out at  the  time  of  incense.  And 
there  appeared  unto  him  an 
angel  of  the  Lord  standing  on  the 
right  side  of  the  altar  of  incense. 
And  when  Zacharias  saw  hiyn,  he 
was  troubled,  and  fear  fell  upon 
him.  But  the  angel  said  unto 
him.  Fear  not,  Zacharias:  for  thy 
prayer  is  heard;  and  thy  wife 
Elisabeth  shall  bear  thee  a  son, 
and  thou  shalt  call  his  name  John. 
And  tliou  Shalt  have  joy  and  glad- 
ness; and  many  shall  rejoice  at  his 
birth.  And  many  of  the  children 
ot  Israel  shall  he  turn  to  the  Lord 
their  God.  Now  Elisabetli's  full 
time  came  that  she  should  be  de- 
livered, and  she  brought  forth  a 
son.  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  on 
the  eighth  day  they  came  to 
circumcise  the  child;  and  tliey 
called  him  Zacharias,  after  the 
name  of  his  father.  And  his 
mother  answered  and  said,  Not  so; 
but  he  sliall  be  called  John.  Aud 
fear  came  on  all  that  dwelt  round 
about  them:  and  all  these  sayings 
were  noised  abroad  throughout 
all  the  hill-country  of  Judea.  And, 
ail  they  that  heard  them  laid 
them  up  in  tlieir  hearts,  saying 
What  manner  of  child  shall  this 
be!  And  tlie  hand  of  the  Lord 
was  with  him.  And  the  child 
grew,  and  waxed  strong  in  spirit, 
and  was  in  the  deserts  till  the  day 
of  ills  shewing  unto  Israel. 

Christ's  Account  of  John's 
Mission. 

Matth.  xi,  7-9,  11-13,  18.  And  as 
they  departed,  Jesus  began  to  say 
unto  the  niuUiludes  concerning 
Jolin,  What  went  ye  out  into  the 
wilderness  to  see?  A  reed  shaken 
with  llie  wind?  But  what  went 
ye  out  for  to  see?  A  man  dotlied 
in  soft  rahiienl?  Behold,  they 
that  wear  solt  clothing  are  in 
kings'  houses.  But  wliat  went  ye 
out  for  to  see?  A  prophet?  yea,  I 
say  unlo  you,  and  more  than  a 
prophet.  Verily  I  say  unto  you. 
Among  them  that  are  born  of 
women  there  hath  not  risen  a 
greater  than  John  the  Baptist;  uuU 


JESUS  CHRIST. 


Withstanding?,  he  that  Is  least  in 
the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  greater 
than  he.  And  from  the  days  of 
John  the  Baptist  until  now  the 
kingdom  of  heaven  suflfereth 
violence,  and  the  violent  take  it 
by  force.  For  all  the  prophets 
and  the  law  prophesied  until 
John.  For  John  came  neither 
eating  nor  diinking,  and  they 
say,  lie  hath  a  devil. 

Mattli.  xxi.  23-27.  And  when  he 
•was  come  into  the  temple,  the 
chief  priests  and  the  elders  of 
the  people  came  unto  him  as  he 
•was  teaching,  and  said,  By  what 
authority  doest  thou  tliese  thin<?  ? 
and  who  gave  thee  this  authority? 
And  Jesus  answered  and  said 
unto  them,  I  also  will  ask  you  one 
thing,  which  if  ye  tell  me,  1  in 
likewise  will  tell  you  by  what 
authority  I  do  these  things.  The 
baptism  of  John,  whence  was  it? 
from  heaven,  or  of  men?  And  tliey 
reasoned  with  themselves,  saying, 
If  we  shall  say.  From  heaven;  he 
will  say  unto  us,  Wiiy  did  ye  not 
then  believe  him?  But  if  we  shall 
say.  Of  men;  we  fear  the  people:  for 
all  hold  John  as  a  prophet.  And 
they  answered  Jesus,  and  said,  We 
cannot  tell.  And  he  said  unto 
them.  Neither  tell  I  you  by  what 
authority  I  do  these  things. 

Matth.  xxi,  32.  For  John  came 
unto  you  in  the  way  of  righteous- 
ness, and  ye  believed  him  not;  but 
the  publicans  and  the  harlots  be- 
lieved him:  and  ye,  when  ye  had 
seen  it,  repented  not  afterward, 
that  ye  might  believe  him. 

John  v,  31-35.  If  I  bear  witness 
of  myself,  my  witness  is  not  true. 
There  ia  another  that  beareth 
witness  of  me;  and  I  know  that 
the  witness  which  he  witnesseth 
of  me  is  true.  Ye  sent  unto  John, 
and  he  bare  witness  unto  the 
truth.  But  I  receive  not  testi- 
mony from  man:  but  tliese  things 
I  say,  that  ye  might  be  saved.  He 
•was  a  burning  and  a  sliining 
light;  and  ye  were  willing  for  a 
season  to  rejoice  in  his  light. 

John  X,  41.  And  many  resorted 
unto  him,  and  said, -lohn  did  no 
miracle;  but  all  things  that  John 
spake  of  this  man  were  true. 

Jonx's  Testimony  to  Cueist. 

Matth.  xi,  2-6.  Now,  when  John 
Lad  heard  in  the  prison  the  works 
ofClirist,  he  sent  two  of  his  dis- 
ciples, And  said  unto  him,  Art 
thou  he  that  should  come,  or  do 
•we  look  for  another?  Jesus  an- 
swered and  said  unto  tliem,  Go 
and  shew  Jotm  again  those 
things  which  ye  do  hear  and  see: 
The  blind  receive  iheir  siglit,  and 
the  lame  walk;  the  lepers  are 
cleansed,  and  the  deaf  hear;  the 
dead  are  raised  up,  and  the  poor 


have  the  gospel  preached  to  them. 
And  blcs-'ed  is  he,  whosoever 
shall  not  be  offended- in  me. 

Lukeni,  3,  4  15-18.  And  he 
came  into  all  Ihe  country  about 
Jordan,  preaching  the  baptism  of 
repentance  for  the  remission  of 
sins;  As  it  is  written  in  the  book 
of  the  words  of  Esaias  tie  prophet, 
saying,  The  voice  of  one  crying  in 
the  wilderness,  Prepare  ye  the 
Avay  of  the  Lord,  make  his  paths 
straight.  And  as  the  people  were 
in  expectation,  and  all  men  mused 
in  their  hearts  of  John,  whether 
he  were  the  Christ,  or  not;  John 
answered,  saying  unto  them  all,  I 
indeed  baptize  you  with  water; 
but  one  mightier  than  1  comelh, 
the  latchet  of  whose  shoes  I  am 
not  worthy  to  unloose:  he  shall  bap- 
tize you  with  the  Holy  Ghost,  and 
Avith  fire:  "Whose  fan  is  in  his 
hand,  and  he  will  thoroughly 
purge  his  floor,  and  will  gather 
the  wheat  into  his  garner,  but 
the  chaff  he  will  burn  with  fire 
unquenchable.  And  many  other 
things,  in  his  exhortation,  preach- 
ed he  unto  the  people. 

John  i,  6--9, 15  19,  25,  26,  28,  30, 
31.  There  was  a  man  sent  from 
God,  whose  name  was  John.  The 
same  came  for  a  witness,  to  bear 
witness  of  the  Light,  tliat  all  men 
through  him  might  believe.  He 
was  not  that  Light,  but  icas  sent 
to  bear  witness  of  that  Light. 
That  was  the  true  Light,  wliich 
ligliteth  every  man  that  Cometh 
into  the  world.  John  bare  wit- 
ness of  him,  and  cried,  saying, 
Tliis  was  he  of  whom  I  spake. 
He  that  cometh  after  me  is  pre- 
ferred before  me;  for  he  was  before 
me.  And  this  is  the  record  of 
John,  when  the  Jews  sent  priests 
and  Levites  from  Jerusalem  to 
ask  him,  Who  art  thou?  And  they 
asked  him,  and  said  unto  him, 
Why  buptizest  thou  then,  if  thou 
be  not  that  Clirist,  nor  Elias, 
neither  that  prophet?  John  an- 
swered them,  saying,  I  baptize 
with  water:  but  there  standeth  one 
among  you,  whom  ye  know  not; 
These  things  were  done  in  Betha- 
bara  beyon»i  Jordan,  where  John 
was  b;iplizing.  This  is  he  of  whom 
I  said.  After  me  cometh  a  man 
which  is  preferred  before  me:  lor 
he  was  before  me.  And  1  knew 
him  not:  but  that  he  should  bo 
made  manifest  to  Israel,  there- 
fore am  1  come  baptizing  with 
Water. 

John  ill,  26-30,  32,  33.  And  they 
came  unto  Julin,  and  said  unto 
him.  Rabbi,  he  that  was  with  thee 
beyond  Jordan,  to  whom  thou 
barest  witness,  behold,  the  same 
buptizeth,  and  all  7nen  come  to 
him.  John  answered  and  said, 
A  man  can  receive  nothing,  ex- 
cept it  be  given  him  (rum  heaven. 
Ye  yourselves  bear  me  witucss, 
297 


that  I  said,  T  am  not  the  Chrlist, 
butthat  1  am  sent  before  him.  He 
that  hath  the  bride  is  the  bride- 
groom: but  the  friend  of  the  bride- 
groom, which  standeth  and  hear- 
etli  him,  rejoicetli  greatly  because 
of  the  bridegroom's  voice.  This 
my  joy  therefore  is  fulfilled.  He 
must  increase,  but  I  must  de- 
crease. And  what  he  hatli  seen 
and  heard,  that  he  testifieth;  and 
no  man  receiveth  his  testimony. 
He  that  hath  received  his  testi- 
mony hath  set  to  his  seal  that  God 
Is  true. 

Acts  xlil,  24, 25.  When  John  had 
first  preached  before  his  coining 
the  biiptism  of  repentance  to  all 
the  people  of  Israel.  And  as  John 
fulfilled  his  course,  he  said.  Whom 
think  ye  that  I  am?  I  am  not  he: 
but,  behold,  there  cometh  one 
after  me,  whose  shoes  of  his  feet 
I  am  not  worthy  to  loose. 

John's  Faithfulness  and 
Maiityruom. 

Matth.  xiv,  12.  And  his  disciples 
came,  and  took  up  the  body,  and 
buried  it,  and  went  and  told  Jesus. 

Wa7'fcvi,14-16  24  25.27.28.  And 
king  Herod  heard  of  him;  (for  his 
name  was  spread  abroad;)  and  he 
said.  That  John  the  Baptist  was 
risen  from  the  dead, and  therefore 
mighty  works  do  shew  forth  them- 
selves in  him.  Others  said.  That 
it  is  Elias.  And  others  said,  That 
it  is  a  prophet,  or  as  one  of  the 
prophets.  But  when  Herod  heard 
thereof,  he  said,  It  is  John,  whom 
1  beheaded:  he  is  risen  trom  the 
dead.  And  she  went  foith,  and 
said  unto  her  mother.  What  shall 
I  ask?  And  she  said,  The  head  of 
John  the  Baptist.  And  she»came 
in  straightway  with  haste  unto 
the  king,  and  asked,  saying,  I  will 
that  thou  give  me,  by  and  by  in  a 
charger,  the  head  of  J*  hn  the 
Baptist.  And  immediately  the 
king  sent  an  executioner,  and 
commanded  his  head  to  be 
brought:  and  he  went  and  be- 
headed him  in  the  prison.  And 
brought  Ids  head  in  a  charger, 
and  gave  it  to  the  damsel:  and  the 
damsel  gave  it  to  her  mother. 

4.— CHRIST'S  BAPTISM. 
Matth.  iii,  13-15.  Then  cometh 
Jesus  from  Galilee  to  Jordan  unto 
John,  to  be  baptized  of  him.  But 
John  forbade  him,  saying,  I  have 
need  to  be  baptized  of  thee,  and 
comest  th  u  to  me?  And  Jesus 
answering,  said  unto  him,  Sufler  it 
to  be  so  now;  for  thus  it  becometh 
us  to  fuiniall  righteousness.  Then 
he  suUeied  him. 

Luke  iii,  22.  And  the  Holy  Ghost 
descended  in  a  bodily  shape,  like 
a  dove,  upon  him;  and  a  voice 
came    from  heaven^  which  said. 


JESUS  CHRIST. 


Tlioa  art  my  beloved  son;  in  thee  T 

am  well  pleased. 

John  i,  32-34.  And  John  bare 
record,  saying,  I  saw  the  Spirit 
descending  from  heaven  like  a 
dove,  and  it  abode  upon  him.  And 
I  knew  him  not:  but  he  that  sent 
me  to  baptise  with  water,  the  same 
said  unto  me,  Upon  whom  thou 
Shalt  see  the  Spirit  descending,  and 
remaining  on  him,  the  same  is  he 
wliich  baptizeth  with  the  Holy 
Gliost.  And  I  saw,  and  bare  re- 
cord that  this  is  the  Son  of  God. 

John  V,  37.  And  tlie  Father  him- 
self, which  hath  sent  me,  hath 
borne  witness  of  me.  Ye  have 
neither  heard  his  voice  at  any 
time,  nor  seen  his  shape. 

5^famp:  of  his  pre  ach- 
ing AND  MIRACLES. 

Matth.  iv,  25.  And  there  follow- 
ed him  great  multitudes  of  people 
from  Galilee,  and/rowi  Decapolis, 
and  from  Jerusalem,  and  from 
Judea,  and  from  beyond  Jordan. 

Matth.  vii,  28,  29.  And  it  came 
to  pass,  when  Jesus  had  ended 
these  sayings,  the  people  were 
astonished  at  his  doctrine:  For 
he  taught  them  as  one  having 
authority,  and  not  as  the  scribes. 

Matth.  viii,  1,  27.  When  he  was 
come  down  from  the  mountain, 
great  multitudes  followed  liim. 
But  the  men  marvelled,  saying. 
What  manner  of  man  is  this,  that 
even  the  winds  and  the  sea  obey 
him! 

Matth.  Ix,  8, 26. 31.  But  when  the 
multitudes  saw  it,  they  marvelled, 
and  glorified  God, which  had  given 
such  power  unto  men.  And  the 
fame  hereof  went  abroad  into  all 
that  land.  But  they,  when  they 
were  departed,  spread  abroad  his 
fame  in  all  that  country. 

Matth.  xiii,  1,  2.  The  same  day 
went  Jesus  out  of  the  house,  and 
sat  by  the  seiv-side.  And  great 
multitudes  were  gathered  toge- 
tlier  unto  him,  so  that  he  went 
into  a  ship,  and  sat;  and  the  whole 
multitude  stood  on  the  shore. 

Matth.  xiv,  13.  When  Jesus 
heard  of  it,  ho  departed  thence  by 
ship  into  a  desert  place  apart:  and 
when  the  people  had  heard  there- 
of, they  followed  him  on  foot  out 
of  the  cities. 

Matth.  XX,  29.  And  as  they  de- 
pirted  from  Jericho,  a  great  mul-

Matth.  xxil,  22,  23.  When  they 
had  heard  these  icords,  they  mar- 
velled, and  left  him,  and  went 
their  way.  The  same  day  came 
to  him  the  Sadducees,  which  say 
that  there  is  no  resurrection,  and 
asked  him. 

Mark  1,  27.  And  they  were  all 
amazed,  insomuch  thnt  they  ques- 
tioned among  themselves,  saying, 


What  thing  is  this?  what  new  doc- 
trine is  this?  for  with  authority 
coramandeth  he  even  the  unclean 
spirits,  and  they  do  obey  him. 

Mark  i,  28,  37,  45.  And  immedi- 
ately his  fame  spread  abroad 
throughout  all  the  region  round 
about  Galilee.  And  when  they 
had  found  him,  they  said  unio 
him,  All  men  seek  for  thee.  But 
he  went  out,  and  began  to  publish 
it  much,  and  to  blaze  abroad  the 
matter,  insomuch  that  Jesus  could 
no  more  openly  enter  into  the 
city,  but  was  without  in  desert 
places:  and  they  came  to  him  from 
every  quarter. 

Mark  ii,  1,  2.  And  again  he  en- 
tered into  Capernaum  after  some 
days;  and  it  was  noised  that  he 
was  in  the  house.  And  straight- 
way many  were  gathered  toge- 
ther, insomuch  that  there  was  no 
room  to  receive  them,  no,  not  so 
much  as  about  the  door:  and  he 
preached  the  word  unto  them. 

Mark  iii,  10,  20.  For  he  had 
healed  many;  insomuch  that  they 
pressed  upon  him  for  to  touch  him, 
as  many  as  had  plagues.  And  the 
multitude  conieth  together  again, 
so  that  they  could  not  so  much  as 
eat  bread. 

Mark  vl,  54,  55.  And  when  they 
were  come  out  of  tlje  sliip,8traight- 
way  they  knew  him.  And  ran 
through  that  whole  region  round 
about,  and  began  to  carry  about 
In  beds  those  that  were  sick, 
where  they  heard  he  was. 

Mark  vii,  36,  37.  But  he  could 
not  be  hid.  And  he  charged  tliem 
that  they  should  tell  no  man:  but 
the  more  he  charged  them,  so 
much  the  more  a  great  deal  they 
published  it;  And  were  beyond 
measure  astonished,  saying.  He 
hath  done  all  things  well:  he  mak- 
eth  both  Ihp  deaf  to  hear,  and  the 
dumb  to  speak. 

Mark  Ix,  14,  15.  And  when  he 
came  to  his  disciples,  he  saw  a 
great  multitude  about  them,  and 
the  scribes  questioning  witli  them. 
And  straightway  all  the  people, 
when  they  beheld  him,  were 
greatly  amazed,  and,  running  to 
him,  saluted  him. 

Liikeiv,  14,  22,  32,  37  And  Jesus 
returned  in  the  power  of  the  Spirit 
into  Galilee:  and  tlu  re  went  out  a 
fame  of  him  through  all  the  region 
round  about.  And  all  bare  him 
witness,  and  wondered  at  the 
gracious  words  which  proceeded 
out  of  his  mouth.  And  they  said. 
Is  not  this  Joseph's  son?  And 
they  were  astonished  at  his  doc- 
trine: for  his  word  was  with 
power.  And  the  fame  of  him 
went  out  into  every  place  of  the 
country  round  about.

298 


tur?eg  came  to«»«thor  to  Tionr.  and 
to  be  healed  by  him  of  their  inftr- 
mities.  And,  behold,  men  brought 
in  a  bed  a  man  which  was  taken 
with  a  palsy:  and  they  souglit 
means  to  bring  him  in,  and  to  lay 
hi7n  before  him.  And  .  .  .  they 
could  not  find  by  what  ^c!ay  they 
might  bring  him  in  because  of  the 
multitude 

Ltike  vi,  17.  And  he  came  down 
Avitli  them,  and  stood  in  the  plain, 
and  the  company  of  his  disciples, 
and  a  great  multitude  of  people 
out  of  all  Judea  and  Jerusalem, 
and  from  the  sea  coast  of  Tyre 
and  Sidon,  which  came  to  hear 
him,  and  to  be  healed  of  their 
diseases.

pass,  that,  when  Jesus  was  return- 
ed, the  people  gladly  received 
him:  for  they  were  all  waiting 
for  him.  And  Jesus  said.  Who 
touched  me?  When  all  denied, 
Peter,  and  they  that  were  with

throng  tl)ee,  and  press  thee,  and 
sayest  thou.  Who  touched  me? 

Luke  ix,  9,  37.  And  Herod  said, 
John  have  I  beheaded:  but  who  is 
this  of  whom  I  hear  suf  h  things? 
And  he  desired  to  see  him.  And 
it  came  to  pass,  that  on  the  next 
day,  when  they  were  come  down 
from  the  hill,  much  people  met 
him. 

Luke  xil,  1.  In  the  mean  time, 
when  there  were  gatliered  togeth- 
er an  innumerable  multitude  of 
people,  insomuch  that  they  trode 
one  upon  another,  he  began  to  say 
unto  his  disciples  first  of  all.  Be- 
ware ye  of  the  leaven  of  the 
Pharisees,  which  is  hypocrisy. 

Luke  xiv,  25.  And  there  went 
great  multitudes  with  him:  and 
he  turned,  and  said  unto  them.

the  multitude  pass  by,  he  asked 
what  it  meant.  And  they  told 
him,  that  Jesus  of  Nazareth  pass- 
eth  by. 

Luke  xxlli,  8.  And  when  Herod 
saw  Jesus,  he  was  exceeding  glad: 
for  he  was  desirous  to  see  him  of 
a  long  season,  because  he  had 
heard  many  things  of  him;  and  he 
hoped  to  have  seen  some  miracle 
done  by  him. 

John  vi,  2,  5.  And  a  great  mul- 
titude followed  him,  because  they 
saw  his  miracles  which  he  did  on 
them  that  were  diseased. . .  Jesus 
then  lifted  up  Ids  eyes,  and  saw  a 
great  company  come  unto  him.  . . 

John  xil,  17-19.  The  people 
therefore  that  was  witli  him  when 
he  called  Lazarus  out  of  his  gn"ave, 
and  raised  him  from  the  dead. 


bare  record.  For  thfs  canse  the 
people  also  met  him,  for  that  they 
heard  that  he  had  done  this 
miracle.  The  Pharisees  therefore 
said  among  themselves,  Perceive 
ye  how  ye  prevail  nothing?  behold, 
the  world  is  gone  alter  him.

ACTIVITY  IN  PREACHING. 

Matth.  V,  1,  2.  And  seeinj?  the 
multitudes,  he  went  up  into  a

them,  saying. 

Matth.  ix,  35.  And  Jesus  went 
about  all  the  cities  and  villages, 
teaching  in  their  synagogues,  and

and  every  disease,  among  the 
people.

that  Jehn  was  put  in  prison.  Jesus 
came  into  Galilee,  preaching  the 
gospel  of  the  kingdom  of  God. 
And  they  went  into  Capernaum; 
and  straighiway  on  the  sabbath- 
day  he  entered  into  the  synagogue, 
and  taught.  And  he  said  utito 
them,  Let  us  go  into  the  next 
towns,  that  I  may  preach  there 
also:  for  therefore  came  1  forth. 
And  he  preached  in  their  syna- 
gogues throughout  all  Galilee,  and

heal  him  on  the  sabbath-day;  that 
they  might  accuse  him. 

Mark  iv,  1.  And  he  began  again 
to  teach  by  the  sea-side:  and  there 
was  gathered  unto  him  a  great 
multitude,  so  that  he  entered  into 
a  sliip,  and  sat  in  the  sea;  and  the 
whole  multitude  was  by  the  sea 
on  the  land. 

Mark  vi,  2,  34.  And  when  the 
sablrith-day  was  come,  he  began 
to  teach  in  the  synagogue:  and 
many  hearing  him  were  astonish- 
ed, saying.  From  whence  hath 
thi.s  num  these  tilings?  and  what 
wisdom  is  this  which  is  given  unto 
him,  that  even  such  mighty  works 
are  wrouglit  by  his  hands?  And 
Jesus,  when  he  came  out,  saw 
much  people,  and  was  moved 
with  compM.ssion  toward  them, 
because  they  were  as  sheep  not 
having  a  slieplierd:  and  he  began 
to  teach  them  many  things. 

Mark  x,  1.  And  he  arose  from 


JESUS   CHEIST. 

thence,  and  cometh  into  the  coasts

him,  with  the  elders. 

Luke  xxi,  37, 38.  And  in  the  day- 
time he  was  teaching  in  the  tem-

STOOD. 

Matth.  xiv,  1,  2.  At  that  time 
Herod  the  tetrarch  heard  of  the 
fame  of  Jesus,  And  said  unto  his 
servants,  This  is  John  the  liaptist,: 
he  is  risen  from  the  dead;  and 
therefore  mighty  works  do  shew 
forth  themselves  in  him. 

3Iatth.  xvi,  13,  14.  When  Jesus 
came  into  the  coasts  of  Cesaiea 
Philippi,  he  asked  his  disciples, 
saying,  Whom  do  men  say  that  I, 
the  Son  of  man,  am?  And  they 
said.  Some  say  that  thou  art  John 
the  Baptist;  some,  Elias;  and 
others,  Jeremias,  or  one  of  the 
propluts. 

Mark  viii,  29.  And  he  saith  unto 
them.  But  wliom  say  ye  that  I 
am?  And  Peter  answereth  and 
saith  unto  him,  Thou  art  the 
Christ. 

Mark  ix,  82.  But  they  under- 
stood not  that  saying,  and  were 
afraid  to  ask  him. 

Mark  xl,  28,  29.  And  say  unto 
209 


him,  By  what  authority  doest 
thou  these  things,  and  who  gave 
thee  this  authority  to  do'thes-j 
things?  And  Jesus  answered  and 
said  unto  them,  I  will  also  ask  of 
you  one  question,  and  answer  me, 
and  I  will  tell  you  by  what 
authority  I  do  these  things. 

Luke  ix,  45.  But  they  under- 
stood not  this  saying,  and  it  was 
hid  from  them,  that  they  perceiv- 
ed it  not:  and  they  feared  to  ask 
him  of  that  saying. 

Luke  xiii,  17.  And  when  he  had 
said  these  things,  all  his  adver- 
saries were  ashamed:  and  all  the 
people  rt'joiced  for  all  the  glori- 
ous things  that  were  done  by  him. 

Luke  xvui,  34.  And  they  under- 
stood none  of  these  things:  and 
this  saying  was  hid  from  them, 
neither  knew  they  the  things 
which  were  spoken. 

Luke  xxiii,  6.  When  Pilate  heard 
of  Galilee,  he  asked  whether  the 
man  were  a  Galilean. 

John  vi,  41-43, 67,  68.  The  Jews 
then  murmured  at  him,  because 
he  said.  I  am  the  bread  whleh 
came  down  from  heaven.  And 
they  said.  Is  not  this  Jesus  the 
son  of  Joseph,  whose  father  and 
mother  we  know?  how  is  it  then 
that  he  saith,  I  came  down  from 
heaven?  Jesus  therefore  answer- 
ed and  said  unto  them,  Murmur 
not  among  yourselves.  Then  said 
Jesus  unto  the  twelve.  Will  ye 
also  go  away?  Then  Simon  Peter 
answered  him.  Lord,  to  Aviiom 
shall  we  go?  thou  hast  the  words 
of  eternal  life. 

John  vii,  12, 13,  36,  43-46.  And 
there  was  much  murmuring 
among  the  people  concerning  him: 
for  some  said,  He  is  a  good  man: 
others  said,  Nay;  but  he  deceiveth 
the  people.  Howbeit  no  man 
spake  openly  of  him  for  fear  of 
the  Jews.  What  manner  of  say- 
ing is  this  that  he  said,  Ye  sha'll 
seek  me,  and  shall  not  find  me: 
and  where  I  am,  thither  ye  cannot 
come?  So  there  was  a  division 
among  the  people  because  of  him. 
And  some  of  them  would  have 
taken  him;  but  no  man  laid  hands 
on  him.  Then  came  the  officers 
to  the  chief  priests  and  Pharisees; 
and  they  said  unto  them.  Why 
have  ye  not  brought  him?  The 
oflicers  answered,  Wever  mau 
spake  like  this  man. 

John  viii,  25,  27,  43.  Then  said 
they  unto  him,  Wlio  art  thou? 
And  Jesus  saith  unto  them.  Even 
the  same  that  I  said  unto  you 
from  the  beginning.  They  under- 
stood not  that  he  spake  to  them 
of  the  Father.  Why  do  ye  not 
understand  my  speech?  even  be- 
cause ye  cannot  hear  my  word. 

John  ix,  24-30.  Then  agaia 
called  they  the  man  that  was 
blind,  and  said  unto  him,  Give  God

the  praise:  we  know  that  this  man 
is  a  sinner.  He  answered  and 
sald,"Wlietlier  he  be  a  sinner  or  no, 
I  know  not:  one  thing  I  know,  that, 
whereas  I  was  bUnd,  now  I  see. 
Then  said  they  to  him  again, 
What  did  he  to  thee?  how  opened 
he  thine  eyes?  He  answered 
them,  I  have  told  you  already,  and 
ye  did  not  hear,  wherefore  would 
ye  hear  it  again?  will  ye  also  be 
his  disciples?  Then  they  reviled 
him,  auil  said,  Tliou  art  his  dis- 
ciple; hut  we  are  Moses'  disciples. 
We  know  that  God  spake  unto 
Moses:  as  for  this  fellow,  we  know 
not  from  whence  he  is.  The  man 
answered  and  said  unto  them, 
Why,  herein  is  a  marvellous  thing, 
that  ye  know  not  from  whence 
lie  is,  and  yet  he  hath  opened 
mine  eyes. 

John  X,  6,  24.  This  parahle 
spake  Jesus  unto  them:  but  they 
understood  not  what  things  they 
were  which  he  spake  unto  tliem. 
Then  came  the  Jews  round  about 
him,  and  said  unto  him,  How  long 
dost  thou  make  us  to  doubt?  If 
thou  be  the  Ciirist,  tell  us  plainly. 

John  xi,  47,  48,  54.  Then  gather- 
ed the  chief  priests  and  the  Thari- 
sees  a  counsel,  and  said.  What  do 
Wf?  for  tills  man  doeth  many  mir- 
acles. If  we  let  him  thus  alone,  all 
men  will  believe  on  him;  and  the 
Romans  shall  come  and  take  away 
botli  our  place  and  nation.  Je^us 
therefore  walked  no  more  openly 
among  the  Jews;  but  went  thence 
unto  a  country  near  to  the  wilder- 
ness, into  a  city  called  Ephrum, 
and  there  continued  with  his  dis- 
ciples, 

Joh7i  xlii,  7,  12.  Jesus  answered 
and  said  unto  him.  What  I  do  thou 
knowest  not  now;  but  thou  shall 
know  hereafter.  So,  after  he  had 
washed  their  feet,  and  had  taken 
his  garments,  and  was  set  down 
agtiti,  he  said  unto  them,  Know 
ye  v.liat  I  have  done  to  you? 

John  xiv,  4,  5.  And  whither  I  go 
ye  know,  and  the  way  ye  know. 
Thomas  sailh  unto  him,  Lord,  we 
know  not  whitiier  thou  goest; 
and  how  can  we  know  the  way? 

John  x\i\,5,  6.  But  now  I  go 
my  way  to  him  that  sent  me;  and 
none  of  you  asketh  me,  Whitljer 
goest  thou?  But  because  I  have 
said  these  things  unto  you,  sorrow 
hath  filled  your  heart. 

John  xvil,  17-19.  Then  said 
some  of  his  disciples  among  them- 
selves. What  is  this  that  he  saiih 
unto  us,  a  little  while,  and  ye  shall 
not  see  me:  and  again  a  little 
while,  and  ye  shaU  see  me:  and 
Because  i  go  to  the  Father?  They 
said  therelore.  What  is  this  that 
he  saith,  A  little  while?  we  cannot 
tell  what  he  sailh.  Now  Jesus 
knew  that  they  were  desirous  to 
ask  him,  and  said  unto  them.  Do 


ye  enquire  among  j'ourselves  of 
tliat  I  said,  A  little  while,  and  ye 
shall  not  see  me:  and  again  a  little 
while,  and  ye  shall  see  me? 

John  xxi,  23.  Then  went  this 
saying  abroad  among  the  breth- 
ren, that  that  disciple  should  not 
di3:  yet  Jesus  said  not  unto  him, 
He  shall  not  die;  but.  If  1  will 
that  he  tarry  tiU  I  come,  what  is 
that  to  thee? 

8.— CHRIST  OFTEN  OPPOSED 
AND  REVILED. 

Matth.ix,  11,34.  And  when  the 
Pharisees  saw  it,  they  said  unto 
his  disciples,  Why  eateth  your 
Master  with  publicans  and  sinners? 
But  the  Pliarisees  said,  He  casieth 
out  devils  through  the  prince  of 
the  devils. 

Maith.  X,  25.  It  is  enough  for  the 
disciple  that  he  be  as  his  master, 
and  the  servant  as  his  ioi'd.  If 
they  have  called  the  Master  of  the 
house  Bee  he  bub,  huw  much  more 
ShaU  they  call  them  of  his  house- 
hold. 

Matth.  xl,  19.  The  Son  of  man 
came  eating  and  drinking,  and 
they  say.  Behold  a  man  glutton- 
ous, and  a  wine-bibber,  a  friend  of 
publicans  and  sinners:  but  Wis- 
dom is  justilied  ot  her  children. 

Ilatth.  xii,  24.  But  when  the 
Pharisees  heard  it,  they  said. 
Thin  fellow  doth  not  cast  out  devils, 
but  by  Beelzebub,  the  prince  of 
the  devils. 

Matth.  XV,  12.  Then  came  his 
disciples,  and  said  unto  him, 
Knowest  thou  that  the  Pharisees 
were  offended,  after  they  heard 
this  saying? 

Matth.  xxii,  15,  16.  Then  went 
the  Pharisees,  and  took  counsel 
how  they  might  entangle  liim  in 
his  talk.  And  they  sent  out  unto 
him  their  disciples  with  the 
ilerodians,  saying.  Master,  we 
know  that  thou  art  true,  and 
leacliest  the  way  of  God  in  trutn, 
neitiier  carest  thou  for  any  7na7i; 
lor  thou  regardest  not  tlio  person 
ol  men. 

Markv,  14,  15,  17.  And  they 
that  fed  the  swine  fled,  and  told  it 
in  tlie  city,  and  in  the  country. 
And  they  went  out  to  see  what  it 
was  that  was  done.  And  they 
come  to  J^  sus,  and  see  him  that 
was  possessed  with  the  devil,  and 
had  the  legion,  sitting,  and  cloih- 
ed,  and  in  his  right  mind;  and 
they  were  alraid.  And  they  be- 
gan to  pray  liim  to  depart  out  of 
their  coasts. 

Lzike  iv,  23.  And  he  said  unto 
them,  Ve  w  ill  surely  say  unto  me 
this  proverb.  Physician,  heal  thy- 
self: whatsoever  wo  have  heard 
done  in  Capernaum,  do  also  here 
in  thy  couniry. 

Lukey,  30.  But  their  scribes 
300 


and  Pnarisees  mnrmnred  against 
his  disciples,  saying.  Why  do  ye 
eat  and  drink  with  publicans  and 
sinners? 

Luke  viii,  37.  Then  the  whole 
multitude  of  the  country  of  tho 
Gadarenes  round  about  besought 
him  to  depart  from  them:  for  they 
were  taken  with  great  tear.  And 
he  went  up  into  the  ship,  and  re- 
turned back  again. 

Luke  xi,  19,  53,  54.  And  if  I  by 
Beelzebub  cast  out  de  vils,by  whom 
do  your  sons  cast  them  out?  there- 
fore shall  they  be  your  jmlges. 
And  as  he  said  these  things  unto 
them,  the  scribes  and  the  Phari- 
sees began  to  urge  him  vehement- 
ly, and  to  provoke  him  to  speak  of 
many  things;  Laying  wait  for 
him,  and  seeking  to  catch  some- 
thing out  of  his  mouth,  that  they 
miglit  accuse  him. 

Luke  XV,  1,  2.  Then  drew  near 
unto  hini  all  the  publicans  and 
sinners  for  to  hear  him.  And  the 
Pharisees  and  scribes  murmured, 
saying.  This  man  receiveth  sin- 
ners, and  eateth  with  them. 

Luke  xix,  7.  And  when  they 
saw  it,  they  all  murmured,  saying, 
That  he  was  gone  to  be  guest  with 
a  man  that  is  a  sinner. 

Jo/mi,  46.  And  Nathanael  said 
unto  him.  Can  there  any  good 
thing  come  outof  Nazareth?  Pallip 
saith  unto  him.  Come  and  see. 

John  vi,  60.  Many  therefore  of 
his  disciples,  when  they  heard 
this,  said,  This  is  an  liard  saying; 
who  can  hear  it? 

John  vii,  26,  27,  40-42.  47,  43, 
52.  But  lo,  he  speakeLli  boldly, 
and  they  say  nothing  unto  hiui. 
Do  the  rulers  know  intleed  that 
this  is  the  very  Curist?  llow- 
beit  we  know  this  man  whence 
he  is:  but  when  Christ  cometli, 
no  man  knoweth  whence  he  is. 
Many  of  the  people  tluretore, 
when  they  heard  this  saying,  .said, 
Of  a  truth  tliis  is  the  Prophet. 
Others  said.  This  is  the  Christ. 
But  some  said.  Shall  Christ  come 
out  of  Galilee?  Hath  not  the  sciip- 
ture  sai(l,That  Christ  comelh  ol  tlio 
seed  of  David,  and  out  ol  the  town 
of  Bethlehem,  where  David  was? 
Then  answered  them  the  Phari- 
sees, Are  ye  also  deceived?  Have 
any  of  the  rulers,  or  of  the  Phari- 
sees, believed  on  him  ?  They  an- 
swered and  said  unto  him.  Art 
thou  also  of  Galilee?  Search,  and 
look:  for  out  of  Galilee  ariseth  no 
prophet. 

John  viii,  49,  52,  53.  Jesus  an- 
swered. 1  liave  not  a  devil:  but  I 
honour  my  Father,  and  ye  do  dis- 
honour me.  Then  said  the  Jews 
unto  liim.  Now  we  know  that  thou 
hast  a  devil.  Abraham  is  dead, 
and  the  prophets;  and  thou  sayest, 
If  a  man  keep  my  saying,  he  shall 
never  taste  of  death.    Art  thou 


JESUS  CHRIST. 


gTPater  than  otir  father  Abraham, 
which  is  dead?  and  the  prophets 
are  dead;  wtiom  makest  thou  tliy- 
Bel!? 

John  X,  19-21,  83.  There  was  a 
division  therefore  again  among 
the  Jews  for  these  sayings.  And 
many  of  them  said,  He  hath  a 
devil,  and  is  mad;  why  hear  ye 
him?  Others  said.  These  are  not 
the  words  of  him  that  liath  a 
devih  can  a  devil  open  the  eyes  of 
tlie  blin<!?  The  Jews  answerod 
him,  saying,  For  a  good  work  we 
stone  thee  not;  but  for  blasphemy; 
nnrl    hpranse   that   thou,   being  a 


thoy  perceived  that  ho  had  spoken 
this  parable  against  tliem. 

John  V,  15,  16.  The  man  de- 
parted, and  told  the  Jews  that  it 
was  Jesus  which  had  made  him 
whole.  And  therefore  did  the 
Jews  persecute  Jesus,  and  souglit 
to  slay  him  because  he  had  done 
these  things  on  the  sabbath-day. 

John  vil,  19,  20,  32.  Did  not 
Moses  give  you  the  law,  and  yet 
none  of  you  keepeth  the  law?  Wliy 
go  ye  about  to  kill  me?  The 
people  answered  and  said,  Thou 
hiistadevil:  wlio  goeth  about  to 


shewed  nnfo  him  all  the  Iclngdoms 
of  tlie  world  in  a  moment  of  time. 
And  the  devil  said  unto  liim,  All 
this  power  will  I  give  tlice,  and 
the  glory  of  them:  for  that  is  de- 
livered unto  me;  and  to  whomso- 
ever I  will  I  give  it.  If  thou  there- 
fore wilt  worship  me,  all  shall  be 
thine.  And  Jesus  answered  and 
said  imto  him.  Get  thee  behind 
me,  Satan:  fur  it  is  written,  Tliou 
Shalt  worship  the  Lord  thy  God, 
and  him  only  shalt  thou  serve. 
And  he  brought  him  to  Jeru^^a- 
lem,  and  set  him  on  a  pinn.icle  of 
tlie  temple,  and  said  unto  Idm,  If

bim  to  Jesus.  And  when  Jesus 
beheld  him,  he  said,  Thou  art 
Simon  the  son  of  Jona:  thou  shalt 
be  called  Cephas,  which  is,  by  in- 
terpretation, A  stone.  The  day 
following  Jesus  would  go  forth 
into  Galilee,  and  flndeth  Philip, 
and  saith  unto  him.  Follow  me. 
Now  Philip  was  of  Bethsaida,  the 
city  of  Andrew  and  Peter.  Philip 
findeth  Nathanael,  and  saith  unto 
him,  We  have  found  him  of  whom 
Moses  in  the  law,  and  the  pro- 
pliets,  did  write,  Jesus  of  Naza- 
reth, the  son  of  Joseph.  Jesus 
saw  Nathanael  coming  to  him,  and 
Baith  of  him.  Behold  an  Israelite 
indeed,  in  whom  there  is  no  guile. 

John  ii,  12, 13,  23.  After  this  he 
went  down  to  Capernaum,  he,  and 
his  mother,  and  his  brethren,  and 
his  disciples:  and  they  continued 
there  not  many  days.  And  the 
Jews'  passover  was  at  hand;  and 
Jesus  went  up  to  Jerusalem. 
Now,  when  he  was  in  Jerusalem 
at  the  passover,  in  the  feast-cfay, 
many  believed  in  his  name,  when 
they  saw  the  miracles  wliich  he 
did. 

John  m,  22-24.  After  these 
things  came  Jesus  and  his  dis- 
ciples into  the  land  of  Judea;  and 
there  he  tarried  with  tliem,  and 
baptized.  And  John  also  was 
baptizing  in  ^non,  near  to  Salim, 
because  there  was  much  water 
there ;  and  they  came  and  were 
baptized:  For  John  was  not  yet 
cast  into  prison, 

John  iv,  3-5,  43,  45,  46.  He 
[Jesus]  left  Judea,  and  departed 
again  into  Galilee.  And  he 
must  needs  go  through  Samaria. 
Tlien  Cometh  he  to  a  city  of 
Samaria,  wliich  is  called  Sychar, 
near  to  the  parcel  of  ground  that 
Jacob  gave  to  his  son  Joseph. 
Now,  alter  two  days  he  de- 
parted thence,  [from  Sychar]  and 
went  into  Galilee.  Then,  when 
he  was  come  into  Galilee,  the 
Galileans  received  him,  having 
Been  all  the  things  that  lie  did  at 
Jerusalem  at  the  feast:  for  they 
also  went  unto  the  feast.  So 
Jesus  came  again  into  Cana  of 
Galilee,  where  he  made  the  water 
wine.  And  there  was  a  certain 
nobleman,  whose  son  was  sick  at 
Capernaum. 

John  V,  1.  After  this  there  was 
a  feast  of  tlie  Jews;  and  Jesus 
went  up  to  Jerusalem. 


Mark  ill,  7,  9,  13-19.  But  Jesus 
withdrew  himself  with  his  dis- 
ciples to  the  sea:  and  a  great  mul- 
titude from  Galilee  followed  him, 
and  from  Judea.  And  he  spake 
to  his  disciples,  that  a  small  ship 
Should  wait  on  him  because  of  the 
multitude,  lest  they  should  throng 
him.  And  lie  goeth  up  into  a 
mountain,  and  calleth  unlo  him 


whom  he  would:  and  they  came 
unto  him.  And  he  ordained 
twelve,  that  they  should  be  with 
him,  and  that  he  might  send  them 
forth  to  preach,  And  to  have 
power  to  heal  sicknesses,  and  to 
cast  out  devils.  And  Simon  he 
surnamed  Peter,  And  James  the 
son  of  Zebedee,  and  John  the 
brother  of  James;  (and  he  sur- 
named them  Boanerges,  which  is, 
The  sons  of  thunder,)  And 
Andrew,  and  Philip,  and  Bartho- 
lomew, and  Matthew,  and  Thomas, 
and  James  the  son  of  Alpheus, 
and  Thaddeus,  and  Simon  the 
Canaanite,  And  Judas  Iscariot, 
which  also  betrayed  him:  and  they 
went  into  an  house. 


LuU  viii,  1-3,  26,  40.  And  it 
came  to  pass  afterward,  that  he 
went  throughout  every  city  and 
village,  preaching  and  shewing 
the  glad  tidings  of  the  kingdom 
of  God;  and  the  twelve  were  with 
him,  And  certain  women,  whicli 
had  been  healed  of  evil  spirits 
and  infirmities,  Mary  called 
Magdalene,  out  of  whom  went 
seven  devils,  And  Joanna  the 
wife  of  Chuza,  Herod's  steward, 
and  Susanna,  and  many  others, 
which  ministered  unto  him  of 
their  substance.  And  they  arrived 
at  the  country  of  the  Gadarenes, 
which  is  over  against  Galilee. 
And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  when 
Jesus  was  returned,  the  people 
gladly  received  him:  for  they 
were  all  waiting  for  him. 


Markyixi,  27.  And  Jesus  went 
out,  and  his  disciples,  into  the 
towns  of  Cesarea  Philippi:  and 
by  the  way  he  asked  his  disciples, 
saying  unto  them,  Whom  do  men 
say  that  I  an^ 

Luke  ix,  1-6, 10,  11,  51,  52.  Then 
he  called  liis  twelve  disciples  to- 
gether, and  gave  them  power  and 
authority  over  all  devils,  and  to 
cure  diseases.  And  he  sent  them 
to  preach  the  kingdom  of  God, 
and  to  heal  the  sick.  And  he 
said  unto  them,  Take  nothing  for 
your  journey,  neither  staves,  nor 
scrip,  neither  bread,  neither 
money;  neither  have  two  coats 
apiece.  And  whatsoever  house 
ye  enter  into,  there  abide,  and 
thence  depart.  And  whosoever 
will  not  receive  you,  when  ye  go 
out  of  that  city,  shake  off  the  very 
dust  from  your  feet  for  a  testi- 
mony against  them.  And  they 
departed,  and  went  through  the 
towns,  preaching  the  gospel,  and 
healing  every  where.  And  the 
apostle3,when  they  were  returned, 
told  him  all  that  they  had  done. 
And  he  took  them,  and  went  aside 
privately  into  a  desert  place  be- 
longing to  tho  city,  called  Beth- 
saida. And  t  he  people,  wiien  they 
know  it,  followed  him:    and   he 


received  them,  and  spake  nnto 
them  of  the  kingdom  of  God,  and 
healed  them  that  had  need  of  heal- 
ing. And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  time  was  come  that  he  should 
be  received  up,  he  stedfastly  set 
his  face  to  go  to  Jerusalem,  And 
sent  messengers  before  his  face: 
and  they  went,  and  entered  into  a 
village  of  the  Samaritans,  to  make 
ready  for  him. 


Luke  xiil,  22.  And  he  went 
through  tlie  cities  and  villages, 
teaching,  and  journeying  toward 
Jerusalem. 

John  X,  22,  23.  And  it  was  at 
Jerusalem  the  feast  of  the  dedi- 
cation, and  it  was  winter.  And 
Jesus  walked  in  the  temple  in 
Solomon's  porch. 

John  xi,  54.  Jesus  therefore 
walked  no  more  openly  among 
the  Jews;  but  went  thence  unto 
a  country  near  to  the  wilderness, 
into  a  city  called  Ephraim,  and 
there  continued  with  his  disciples. 

John  xi,  55-57.  And  the  Jews' 
passover  was  nigh  at  hand:  and 
many  went  out  of  the  country  up 
to  Jerusalem  before  the  passover, 
to  purify  themselves.  Then 
sought  they  for  Jesus,  and  spake 
among  themselves,  as  they  stood 
in  the  temple.  What  think  ye,  that 
he  will  not  come  to  the  feast? 
Now  both  the  chief  priests  and 
the  Pharisees  had  given  a  com- 
mandment, that,  if  any  man  knew 
where  he  were,  he  should  show 
it,  that  they  might  take  him. 


8.~S0LEMN  ENTRY  INTO 
JERUSALEM. 

MarkxX,  1-11.  And  when  they 
came  nigh  to  Jerusalem,  unto 
Bethphage  and  Bethany,  at  the 
mount  of  Olives,  he  sendeth  forth 
two  of  his  disciples.  And  saith 
unto  them,  Go  your  way  into  the 
village  over  against  you:  and  as 
soon  as  ye  be  entered  into  it,  ye 
shall  find  a  colt  tied,  whereon 
never  man  sat;  loose  him,  and 
bring  Mm.  And  if  any  man  say 
unto  you.  Why  do  ye  this?  say  ye 
that  the  Lord  hath  need  of  him; 
and  straightway  he  will  send  him 
hither.  And  they  went  their  way, 
and  found  the  colt  tied  by  the  door 
without,  in  a  place  where  two 
ways  met;  and  they  loose  him. 
And  certain  of  them  that  stood 
there  said  unto  them,  What  do  ye, 
loosing  the  colt?  And  they  said 
unto  them  even  as  Jesus  had 
commanded:  and  they  let  them 
go.  And  they  brought  tho  colt 
to  Jesus,  and  cast  their  garments 
on  him;  and  he  sat  upon  him.  And 
many  spread  their  garments  in 
tho  way;  .and  others  cut  down 
branches  off  tho  trees,  and  Btrawed 


turn  In  the  way.  And  they  that 
Went  before,  and  they  that  foUovv- 
eiJ,  cried,  saying;  Hosanna;  Bless- 
ed is  he  that  cometh  in  the  name 
of  the  Lord;  Blessed  be  the  liing- 
dom  of  our  father  David,  that 
coineth  in  the  name  of  the  Lord: 
Hosanna  in  the  highest.  And 
Jesus  entered  into  Jerusalem, 
and  into  the  temple:  and  when  he 
had  looked  round  about  upon  all 
things,  and  now  the  even-tide 
was  come,  he  went  out  unto 
Bethany  with  the  twelve. 
<  j/^John  xii,  1-8.  Then  Jesus,  six 
V^  dnys  before  the  passover,  came  to 
Befhany,  where  Lazarus  was 
which  had  been  dead,  whom  he 
raised  from  the  dead.  There 
they  made  him  a  supper;  and 
Martha  served:  but  Lazarus  was 
one  of  them  that  sat  at  the  table 
with  him.  Then  took  Mary  a 
pound  of  ointment  of  spikenard, 
very  costly,  and  anointed  the  feet 
of  Jesus,  and  wiped  his  feet  with 
her  hair:  and  the  house  was  filled 
Avith  the  odour  of  the  ointment. 
Tlien  saith  one  of  his  disciples, 
Judas  Iscariot,  Simon's  son,  which 
should  betray  him,  Why  was  not 
this  ointment  sold  for  three  hun- 
dred pence,  and  given  to  the  poor? 
Tliis  he  said,  not  that  he  cared  for 
the  poor;  but  because  he  was  a 
thief,  and  had  the  bag,  and  bare 
what  was  put  therein.  Then  said 
Jesus,  Let  her  alone:  against  the 
day  of  my  burying  hath  she  kept 
this.  For  the  poor  always  ye 
have  with  you;  but  me  ye  have 
not  always.

to  death. 

John  xviil,  14.  Now  Caiapha^

Jews,  that  it  was  expedient  that 
one  man  should  die  for  the  people.

Ma\fh.  xxvii,  37,  38.  And  he 
took  with  him  Peter  and  the  two 
sons  of  Zebedee,  and  began  to  bo 
sorrowful  and  very  heavy.  Then 
saith  he  unto  them.  My  soul  is 
exceeding  sorrowful,  even  unto 
death:  tarry  ye  here,  and  watch 
with  me. 

LxiUe.  xxii,  43,  44.  And  there 
appeared  an  angel  unto  him  from 
heaven,  strengthening  liiin.  And, 
being  in  an  agony,  he  prayed 
more  earnestly:  and  his  sweat  was 
as  it  were  great  drops  of  blood 
falling  down  to  the  ground.

5.— TREACHERY  OP  JUDAS. 
Lxilte  xxii.   3.    Then   entered 
Satan  into  Judas  surnamed  Isca- 
riot. being  of  the  number  of  the 
twelve. 

Jolin  vi,  70, 71.  Jesus  answered 
them,  Have  not  I  chosen  you 
twelve,  and  one  of  you  is  a  devil? 
He  spake  of  Judas  Iscariot,  the, 
son  of  Simon;  for  he  it  was  that 
should  betray  him,  being  one  of 
the  twelve. 

John  xiii,  2,  27-31.  And  supper 
being  ended,  the  devil  having  now 
put  into  the  heart  of  Judas 
Iscariot,  Simon's  son,  to  betray 
him.  And  after  the  sop  Satan 
entered  into  him.  Tlien  said 
Jesus  unto  him,  That  thou  doest, 
do  quickly.  Now  no  man  at  the 
tal)le  knew  for    what  intent   he 


t/uim  thought,  because  Judas  had 
the  bag,  that  Jesus  had  said  unto 
him.  Buy  those  things  that  we 
have  need  of  against  the  feast;  or, 
that  he  should  give  something  to 
the  poor.  He  then,  having  re- 
ceived the  sop,  went  immediately 
out:  and  it  was  night.  Therefore, 
when  he  was  gone  out,  Jesus 
said,  Now  is  the  Son  of  man 
glorified,  and  God  is  glorified  in 
him. 

Acts  i,  16-19.  Men  and  brethren. 
This  scrii)t,ure  must  needs  have 
been  fuUilled,  which  the  Holy 
Ghost,  by  the  mouth  of  David, 
spake  before  concerning  Judas, 
which  was  guide  to  them  that 
the  passover  must  be  killed.    And    took  Jesus.    For  he  was  number- 


spake  this  unto  him.    For  some  of ,  ^^^j  '^]}'t}'^I^IE^^'^'^!!^ 


he  sent  Peter  and  John,  sayin^ 
Go  and  prepare  us  the  passover, 
that  we  may  eat.  And  they  said 
unto  him.  Where  wilt  thou  that 
we  prepare?  And  he  said  unto 
them.  Behold,  when  ye  are  entered 
Into  the  city,  there  shall  a  man 
meet  you,  bearing  a  pitcher  of 
water;  follow  him  into  the  house 
where  he  entereth  in.  And  ye 
shall  say  unto  the  goodman  of  the 
house,  The  Master  saith  unto 
thee.  Where  is  the  guest-chamber, 
where  I  shall  eat  the  passover 
with  my  disciples?  And  he  shall 
shew  you  a  large  upper  room  fur- 
nished: there  make  ready.  And 
tliey  went,  and  found  as  he  had 
said  unto  them:  and  they  made 
ready  the  passover.  And  when 
the  hour  was  come,  he  sat  down, 
and  the  twelve  apostles  with  him. 
And  he  said  unto  them.  With  de- 
sire I  have  desired  to  eat  this 
passover  with  you  before  I  suffer: 
For  I  say  unto  you,  I  will  not  any 
more  eat  thereof,  until  it  be  ful- 
filled in  the  kingdom  of  God.  And 
he  took  the  cup,  and  gave  thanks. 


ed  with  us,  and  had  obtained  part 
of  this  ministry.  Now  this  man 
purchased  a  field  with  the  reward 
of  iniquity;  and  faUing  headlong, 
he  burst  asunder  in  the  miilst,  and 
all  his  bowels  gushed  out.  And  it 
was  known  unto  all  the  dwellers 
at  Jerusalem;  insomuch  as  that 
field  is  called,  in  their  proper 
tongue,  Aceldama,  that  is  to  say. 
The  field  of  blood. 

6.— CONSPIRACY  AGAINST 

JESUS. 

Matth.  xxvi,  3-6.  Then  assem- 
bled together  the  chief  priests, 
and  the  scribes,  and  the  elders  of 
the  people,  unto  the  palace  of  the 
high  priest,  who  was  called 
Caiaphas.  And  consulted  that 
they  might  take  Jesus  by  sub- 
tilty,  and  kill  him.  But  they 
said.  Not  on  the  feast-day,  lest 
there  be  an  uproar  among  the 
people. 

Matth.  xxvii,  1.  When  the  morn- 
ing was  come,  all  the  chief  priests 
and   elders   of  the   people   took 


Judas,  one  of  the  twelve,  and  with 
him  a  great  multitude,  with 
swords  and  staves,  from  the  chief 
priests,  and  the  scribes,  and  the 
elders.  And  he  that  betrayed 
him  had  given  them  a  token,  say- 
ing. Whomsoever  I  shall  kiss,  that 
same  is  he;  take  him,  and  lead 
him  away  safely.  And  as  soon  as 
he  was  come,  he  goeth  straight- 
way to  him,  and  saith.  Master, 
Master;  and  kissed  him.  And  they 
laid  their  hands  on  him,  and  took 
him.  And  one  of  them  that  stood 
by  drew  a  sword,  and  smote  a 
servant  of  the  high  priest,  and  cut 
off  his  ear.  And  Jesus  answered 
and  said  unto  them.  Are  ye  come 
out,  as  against  a  thief,  with  swords 
and  with  staves  to  take  me? 

Lxike  xxii,  49,  52, 53.  When  they 
which  were  about  him  saw  what 
would  follow,  they  said  unto  him, 
Lord,  shall  we  smite  with  the 
sword?  Then  Jesus  said  unto  the 
chief  priests,  and  captains  of  the 
temple,  and  the  elders,  which 
were  come  to  him.  Be  ye  come 
out,  as  against  a  tliief,  with  swords 
and  staves?  When  1  was  daily 
with  you  in  the  temple,  ye 
stretched  forth  no  hands  against 
me:  but  this  is  your  hour,  and  the 
power  of  darkness. 

John  xviii,2-10.  And  Judas  also, 
which  betrayed  him,  knew  the 
place:  for  Jesus  oft-times  resorted 
thither  with  his  disciples.  Judas 
then,  having  received  a  band  of 
men  and  otllcers  from  the  chief 
priests  and  Pharisees,  cometh 
thither  with  lanterns  and  torches 
and  weapons.  Jesus  therefore, 
knowing  all  things  that  should 
come  upon  him,  went  forth,  and 
said  unto  them,  Whom  seek  ye? 
They  answered  him,  Jesus  of 
Nazareth,  Jesus  saith  xnaXo  him,  I 


JESUS  CHUIST. 


am  he.  And  Jtidas  also,  whlcTi 
betrayed  him,  stood  with  them. 
As  soon  then  as  he  had  said  unto 
them,  I  am  he,  they  went  back- 
ward, and  tell  to  the  ground. 

John  xvlil,  7-10.  Then  asked  he 
thorn  agahi,  "Whom  seek  yc?  And 
they  said,  Jesus  of  Nazareth. 
Jesus  answered,  I  have  told  you 
that  I  am  he.  If  therefore  ye  seek 
me,  let  these  go  their  way:  That 
the  saying  might  be  lulfillod 
which  he  spake,  Of  them  which 
thou  gavest  me  have  I  lost  none. 
Then  Simon  Peter,  having  a  sword, 
drew  it,  and  smote  the  high 
priest's  servant,  and  cut  off  his 
right  ear.  The  Bervant's  name 
was  Malchus. 

7.— HIS  TRIAL. 

BEPOBB    THE  SANHEDEIM. 

MaWi.  xxvi.  56-58 Then 

all  the  disciples  forsook  him,  and 
fled.  And  they  tliat  had  laid 
hold  on  Jesus  led  Mm  away  to 
Caiaphas  the  high  priest,  where 
the  scribes  and  the  elders  were 
assembled.  But  Peter  follow- 
ed him  afar  off  unto  the  high 
priest's  palace,  and  went  in,  and 
sat  with  the  Servants,  to  see  the 
end. 

John  xviH,  12,  13.  Then  the 
band  and  the  captain  and  offlcers 
of  the  Jews  took  Jesus,  and 
bound  him.  And  led  him  away 
to  Annas  first:  (for  he  was  father- 
in-law  to  Caiaphas  which  was 
the  high  priest  that  same  year.) 

3tam.  xxvi,  59-61,  65,  66.  Now 
the  chief  priests,  and  elders,  and 
all  the  council,  sought  false  wit- 
ness against  Jesus,  to  put  him  to 
death;  But  found  none :  yea, 
though  many  false  witnesses  came, 
vet  found  they  none.  At  the  last 
came  two  false  witnesses.  And 
said.  This  fellow  said.  I  am  able  to 
destroy  the  temple  of  God,  and  to 
build  it  in  three  days.  Then  the

beliold,  now  ye  have  hoard  his 
blasphemy.  What  tiiink  ye?  They 
answered  and  said,  lie  is  guilty  of 
death. 

Mark  xiv,  59,  61,  62.  But  neither 
so  did  their  witness  agree  toge- 
ther. But  he  held  his  peace,  and 
answered  nothing.  Again  the 
high  priest  asked  him,  and  said 
unto  him.  Art  thou  the  Christ,  the 
Son  of  the  Blessed?  And  Jesus 
said,  I  am:  and  ye  shall  see  tiie 
Son  of  man  sitting  on  the  right 
hand  of  power,  and  coming  in  the 
clouds  of  heaven. 

Luke  xxil,  71.  And  they  said. 
What  need  we  any  further  wit- 
ness? for  we  ourselves  have  heard

Before  Pontius  Pilate. 

John  xviii,  24, 28.  (  Now  Annas 
had  sent  him  bound  unto  Caiaphas 
the  iiigh  priest.)  Then  led  they 
Jesns  from  Caiaphas  unto  the  liall 
of  judgment:  and  it  was  early;  and 
they  themselves  went  not  into  the 
jndc-ment-hall,  lest  they  should  be 
defiled;  but  that  they  might  eat 
the  passover. 

Luke  xxiii,  1,  2,  6,  7.  And  the 
whole  multitude  of  them  arose, 
and  led    him  unto    Pilate.    And 


|bnt  he  delivered  Jesus  to  tbeir 

will, 

Joh7i  xviii,  29,  30,  33-35.  Pilate 
then  went  out  unto  them,  and 
said,  What  accusation  briug  ye 
against  this  man?  They  answered 
and  said  unto  him.  It  he  were  not 
a  malefactor,  we  would  not  have 
delivered  him  up  unto  thee.  Thou 
Pilate  entered  into  the  judgment- 
haU  again,  and  called  Jesus,  and 
said  unto  him.  Art  thou  tiie  King 
of  the  Jews?  Jesus  answered  him. 


thoy  began  to  accuse  him,  saying,  \  Sayest  thou  this  thing  of  thyself, 


We  found  this  fellow  pervertin 
the  nation,  and  forbidding  to  give 
tribute  to  Cesar,  saying  that  lie 
himself  is  Christ  a  King.  And 
they  were  the  more  fierce,  saying, 
He  stirreth  up  the  people,  teach- 
ing throughout  all  Jewry,  begin- 
ning from  Galilee  to  this  place. 
And  as  soon  as  he  knew  that  he 
belonged  unto  He'rod's  jurisdic- 
tion, he  sent  him  to  Herod,  who 
himself  also  was  at  Jerubalem  at 
that  time. 

Matth.  xxvil,    11,    15,    17,    20- 

25.  And  Jesus  stood  before 
the  governor:  and  the  govtnnor 
asked  him,  saying,  Art  thou  the 
King  of  the  Jews?  And  Jesus  said 
unto  him.  Thou  sayest.  Now  at 
that  feast  the  governor  was  wont 
to  release  unto  the  people  a  pri- 
soner, whom  they  would.  There- 
fore, when  they  were  gathered  to- 
gether, Pilate'  said  unto  them, 
Whom  will  ye  that  I  release  unto 
you?  Barabbas,  or  Jesus  which  Is 
called  Christ?  But  the  chief 
priests  and  elders  persuaded  the 
multitude  that  they  should  ask 
Barabbas,  and  destroy  Jesus.  The 
governor  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  Whether  of  the  twain  will 
ye  that  I  release  unto  you  ?  They 
said,  Barabbas.  Pilate  saith  unto 
them.  What  shall  I  do  then  with 
Jesus  which  is  called  Christ?  Thev 
all  say  unto  him.  Let  him  be  cru- 
cified. And  the  governor  said, 
Why,  what  evil  hath  he  done? 
But  they  cried  out  the  more,  say- 
ing. Let  him  be  crucified.  When 
Pilate  saw  that  he  could  prevail 
nothing,  but  </ia^  rather  a  tumult 
was  made,  he  took  water,  and 
washed  his  hands  before  the  mul- 
titude, saying,  I  am  innocent  of 
the  blood  of  this  just  persoii:  see 
ye  to  it.  Then  answered  all  the 
people,  and  said.  His  blood  be  on 
us,  and  on  our  children. 

Mark  xv,  7.  And  there  was  one 
named  Barabbas,  which  lay  bound 
with  them  that  had  made  hisur- 
rection  with  him,  who  had  com- 
mitted murder  in  the  Insurrection. 

Luke  xxlii,  10,  25.  And  the  chief 
priests  and  scribes  stood  and  vuhe- 
tiienlly  accused  him.  And  he  re^ 
h  ased  unto  them  him  that  for  se- 
dition anu  murder  was  cast  into 
prison,  whom  they  had  desired; 
304 


or  did  otiiers  tell  it  thee  ot  me? 
Pilate  answered,  Am  I  a  Jew? 
Thine  own  nation  and  the  chief 
priests  have  delivered  thee  unto 
me.    What  hast  thou  done? 

{y/ohn  xix,  7,12, 13, 15, 16.  The  Jews 
answered  him.  We  have  a  law, 
and  by  our  law  he  ought  to  die, 
because  he  made  himself  the  Son 
of  God.  A'na-fnTfir  thenceforth 
Pttate  sought  to  release  him:  but 
the  Jews  cried  out,  saying,  II  thou 
let  this  man  go,  thou  art  not 
Cesar's  friend:  whosoever  mak- 
eth  himself  a  king  speaketh 
against  Cesar,  When  Pilate 
tlierefore  heard  that  saying,  he 
brought  Jesus  forth,  and  sat 
down  in  the  judgment  seat  in  a 
place  that  Is  called  the  Pave- 
ment, but  in  the  Hebrew,  Gab- 
batha.  But  they  cried  out,  Away 
with  him,  away  with  him,  crucify 
him.  Pilate  saith  unto  them  Shall 
I  crucify  your  King?  The'  chief 
priest  answered,  We  have  no  king 
but  Cesar.  Then  delivered  he 
him  therefore  unto  them  to  bo 
crucified.  And  they  took  Jesus, 
and  led  him  away. 

Acts  ill,  13, 14.  The  God  of  Ab- 
raham, and  of  Jsa  ic,  and  of  Jacob, 
the  God  of  our  fotlier.s,  hath  glo- 
rified his  Son  Jesus;  whom  ye  de- 
livered up,  and  denied  him  in  the 
presence  (;f  Pilate,  when  he  was 
determined  to  let  him  go.  But 
^ /e  denied  the  Holy  One  and  the 
V%Just,  and  desired  a  murderer  to 
be  granted  unto  you. 

Acts  xiii,  27,  28.  For  they  that 
dwell  at  Jerusalem,  and  their 
rulers:  because  they  knew  him 
not,  nor  yet  the  voices  of  the  pro- 
pliets  which  are  read  every  sab- 
bath-day, they  have  fulfilled  them 
in  condemning  him.  And  though 
they  found  no  cause  of  death  in 
him,  yet  desired  they  Pilate  that 
he  should  be  slain. 

1  Tim.  vl,  13.  I  give  thee  chargo 
in  the  sight  of  God,  who  quicken- 
e!h  all  things,  and  before  Christ 
Jesus,  who  before  Pontius  Pilate 
witnessed  a  good  confession.

JESUS  CHRIST. 


htm;  and  others  smote  him  with 
the  palms  of  their  hands,  Saying', 
Prophesy  unto  us,  thou  Christ, 
Wtio  is  he  that  smote  thee? 

Matth.  xxvii,  27-31.  Then  the 
soldiers  of  the  governor  took 
Jesus  into  the  ccmmon  hall,  and 
gathered  unto  him  the  whole  band 
of  soldiers.  And  they  stripped 
him,  and  put  on  him  a  scarlet  robe. 
And  when  they  had  platted  a 
crown  of  thorns,  they  put  it  upon 
his  head,  and  a  reed  in  his  right 
hand ;  and  they  bowed  the  knee 
before  him:  and  mocked  him,  say- 
ing. Hail,  King  of  the  Jews! 

Maith.  xxvii,  80,  31.  And  they 
Bpit  upon  him,  and  took  tlie  reed, 
and  smote  him  on  the  head.  And 
after  that  they  had  mocked  him, 
tliey  took  the  robe  off  from  him, 
and  put  his  own  raiment  on  him, 
and  led  him  away  to  crucify  him. 

Markxv,18,  19.  And  began  to 
salute  him,  Hail,  King  of  the 
Jews!  And  they  smote  him  on 
t!ie  head  with  a  reed,  and  did 
spit  upon  him,  and,  bowing  their 
knees,  worshipped  him. 

LuJiC  xxii,  63-65.  And  the  men 
that  held  Jesus  mocked  him,  and 
Bmote  him.  And  when  they  had 
blindfolded  him,  they  struck  him 
on  the  face,  and  a>ked  him,  say- 
ing. Prophesy,  who  Is  it  that 
smote  thee?  And  many  other 
things  blasphemously  spake  they 
against  him. 

Luke  xxiii,  26.  And  as  they  led 
him  away,  they  laid  hold  upon  one 
Simon,  a  Cyrenian,  coming  out  of 
tlie  country,  and  on  him  tiiey  laid 
the  cross,  that  he  might  bear  it 
after  Jesus. 

John  xix,  2-5,  14,  17.  And  the 
soldiers  platted  a  crown  of  thorns, 
and  put  it  on  his  head,  and  they 
put  on  him  a  purple  robe,  And 
said.  Hail,  King  ol  the  Jews!  and 
they  smote  him  with  their  hands. 
Pilate  therefore  went  forth  again, 
and  saith  unto  them,  Behold,  I 
bring  him  forth  to  you,  that  ye 
may  know  that  I  find  no  fault  in 
him.  Then  came  Jesus  fonh, 
wearing  the  crown  of  thorns,  and 
the  purple  robe.  And  Pilate  saith 
unto  them.  Behold  the  man!  And 
it  was  the  preparation  of  the  pass- 
over,  and  about  the  sixth  hour: 
and  he  saith  unto  the  Jews,  Be- 
hold your  King!  And  hd,  bearing 
his  cross,  went  forth  into  a  place 
called  the  place  of  a  scull,  which 
is  called  in  the  Hebrew,  Golgotha. 

The  Crucifixion,  and  the 
Seven  Sayings  of  Jesus  upon  the 
Cboss. 
Matth.  xxvii,  45,  46,  61,  54-56. 
Now,  from  the  sixth  hour,  there 
•was  darkness  over  all  the  land 
unto  the  ninth  hour.  And  about 
the  ninth  boor,  Jtsus  cried  with 


a  loud  voice,  saying.  Eli,  Ell.  Inma 
sabachthani?  that  is  to  say.  My 
God,  my  God.  why  hast  thou  for- 
saken me?  And,  behold,  the  veil 
of  the  temple  was  rent  In  twain 
from  the  top  to  the  bottom;  and 
tlie  earth  did  quake,  and  the 
rocks  rent.  Now  when  the  cen- 
turion, and  they  that  were  with 
him  watching  Jesus,  saw  the 
earthquake,  and  those  things  that 
were  done,  they  feared  greatly, 
saying.  Truly  this  was  the  Son  of 
God.  And  many  women  were 
there  beholding  afar  off,  which 
followed  Jesus  from  Galilee,  min^ 
istering  unto  him.  Among  whicli^ 
was  Mary  Magdalene,  and  Marw 
the  mother  of  James  and  Jose* 
and  the  mother  of  Zebedeejp 
children.  i 

Luke  xxiii,  33,  34,  43-46.  And 
when  they  were  come  to  the 
place  which  is  called  Calvary, 
there  they  crucified  him,  and  the 
malefactors,  one  on  the  right 
liand,  and  the  other  on  the  left. 
Then  said  Jesus,  Father,  forgive 
them;  for  they  know  not  what 
they  do.  And  tliey  parted  his 
raiment,  and  cast  lots.  And 
Jesus  said  unto  him,  [the  thiet] 
Verily  I  say  unto  thee.  To-day 
Shalt  thou  be  with  me  in  paradise. 
And  it  was  about  the  sixth  hour, 
andthere  was  darkness  over  all  the 
earth  until  the  ninth  hour.  And 
the  sun  was  darkened,  and  the 
vail  of  the  temple  was  rent  in  the 
midst.  And  when  Jesus  had 
cried  with  a  loud  voice,  he  said, 
Father,  into  thy  hands  I  commend 
my  spirit:  and  having  said  thus, 
he  gave  up  the  gliost. 

John  xix,  19-22,  25-28,  30.  And 
Pilate  wrote  a  title,  and  put  it  on 
the  cross.  And  the  writing  was, 
JESUS  OF  NAZARETH,  THE 
KING  OF  THE  JEtVS.  This 
title  then  read  many  of  the  -lews; 
for  the  place  where  Jesus  was  cruci- 
fied was  nigh  to  the  city;  and  it  was 
written  in  Hebrew,  and  Greek, 
and  Latin.  Then  said  the  chief 
priests  of  the  Jews  to  Pilate, 
Write  not.  The  King  of  the  Jews; 
but  that  he  said,  1  am  King  of  the 
Jews.  Pilate  answered.  What  I 
have  written  I  have  written. 
Now  there  stood  by  the  cross  of 
Jesus  his  mother,  and  his  mother's 
tej^fter,  Mary  the  wife  of  Cleophas, 
•and  Mary  Magdalene.  When 
Jesus  therefore  saw  his  mother, 
and  the  disciple  standing  by  whom, 
he  loved,  he  saith  unto  his  mother. 
Woman,  behold  thy  son!  Then 
saith  he  to  the  disciple,  Behol(i> 
thy  mother!  And  from  that  hour 
that  disciple  took  her  imto  his 
own  home.  After  this,  Jesus 
knowing  that  all  things  were 
now  accomplished,  tliat  the 
Scripture  might  be  fulfilled,  saith. 
1  tliirst.  When  Jesus  therefore 
had  received  the  vinesur,  he  said, 
£C5 


It  is  finished:  and  ho  bowed  his 
head,  and  gave  up  the  ghost. 


John  XV,  13.  Greater  love  hath 
no  man  than  this,  that  a  man  lay 
down  his  life  for  his  friends. 

Acts  ii,  22,  23.  Ye  men  of  Israel, 
hear  these  words;  Jesus  of  Nazar- 
eth, a  man  approved  of  God 
among  you  by  miracles,  and 
wonders,  and  signs,  which  God 
did  by  him  in  the  midst  of  you.  as 
ye  yourselves  also  know:  Him, 
being  delivered  by  the  deteimi- 
nate  counsel  and  foreknowledge 
of  God,  ye  have  taken,  and  by 
Avicked  hands  have  crucified  and 
slain. 

Acts  vii,  52.  Which  of  the  pro- 
phets have  not  your  fathers  \w,y- 
secuted?  and  they  have  slain  them 
which  shewed  before  of  the  com- 
ing of  the  Just  One;  of  whom  y« 
have  been  now  the  betrayers  and 
murderers. 

1  Cor.  i,  18.  23.  For  the  pronch- 
ing  of  the  cross  is  to  them  that 
perish  foolishness;  but  unto  us 
which  are  saved  it  is  the  power  of 
God.  But  we  preach  Ciirist 
crucified,  unto  the  Jews  a  siuiii- 
blingblock,  and  unto  the  Greeks 
foolishness. 

1  Co?'.  Ii,  2.  For  I  detcrmned 
not  to  know  any  thing  among 
you.  save  Jesus  Christ,  and  him 
crucified. 

Gal.  vi,  14.  But  God  forbid  that 
I  should  glory,  save  In  the  cross 
of  our  Lord  Jesus  Clirist,by  whom 
the  world  is  crucified  unto  me, 
and  I  unto  the  world. 

Phil,  iii,  18.  (For  many  walk,  of 
whom  I  have  told  you  often,  and 
now  tell  you  even  weeping,  that 
tfiey  are  the  enemies  of  the  cross 
of  Christ. 

Col.  ii,  14.  Blotting  out  the 
hand-writing  of  ordinances  that 
was  against  us,  which  was  con- 
trary to  us,  and  took  it  out  of  the 
Avay,  nailing  it  to  his  cross. 

2  Tim.  ii,  11.  It  is  a  faithful  say- 
ing: For,  i  t  we  be  dead ,  with  him, 
we  shall  also  live  with  him. 

Heb.  xiii,  12,  13.  Wherefore 
Jesus  also,  that  he  might  sanctify 
the  people  with  his  own  blood, 
suffered  without  the  gate.  Let  us 
go  forth  rheiefore  unto  him 
without    the    camp,  bearing   his 

proach. 

1  John  Iv,  11.  Beloved,  if  God 
so  loved  us.  we  ought  also  to  love 
one  another. 

9.  HIS  BURIAL. 
Matth.  xxvii  61.  And  there  was 
Mary  Magdalen^,  and   tiie  other 
Mary,  sitting  over  against  the  se- 
puulire, 
Mark  x\,  43-45.  Joseph  of  Arl- 
U 


JESUS  CHRIST. 


inathea,an1ionotirab1e  roxmsellor, 
wliich  also  waited  for  the  kinj?- 
dom  of  God,  came,  and  went  in 
boldly  unto  Pilate,  and  craved  the 
body  of  Jesus.  And  Pilate  mar- 
velled if  he  were  already  dead: 
and  calling  unto  Mm  the  centu- 
rion, he  asked  him  whether  he 
had  been  any  while  dead.  And 
when  he  know  It  of  the  centurion, 
he  gave  the  body  to  Joseph. 

Luke  xxiii,  53-55.  And  he  took 
It  down,  and  wrapped  it  in  linen, 
and  laid  it  in  a  sepulclire  that  was 
hewn  in  stone,  wlierein  never  man 
before  was  laid.  And  that  day 
was  the  preparation,  and  the  sab- 
bath drew  on.  Atid  the  Avoinen 
also,  which  came  with  him  from 
Galilee,  followed  after,  and  beheld 
the  sepulchre  and  how  his  body 
was  laid. 

Acts  xiii,  29.  And  when  they 
had  fulfilled  all  that  was  written 
of  him,  they  took  him  down  from 
the  tree,  and  laid  him  in  a  sepul- 
chre. 

10— HIS  RESURRECTION. 

Maith.  xxvii,  62-66.  Now  the 
next  day,  that  followed  the  day  of 
the  preparation,  the  chiel  priests 
and  Pharisees  came  together  unto 
Pilate,  Saying,  Sir,  we  remember 
that  that  deceiver  said,  while  he 
was  yet  alive.  After  three  days 
I  will  rise  again.  Command  there- 
fore that  the  sepulchre  be  made 
sure  until  the  third  day,  lest  his 
disciples  come  by  night,  and  steal 
him  away,  and  say  unto  the  people. 
He  is  risen  from  the  dead:  so  the 
last  error  shall  be  worse  than  the 
first.  Pilate  said  unto  them,  Ye 
have  a  watch:  go  your  way,  make 
it  as  sure  as  ye  can.  So  they  weut, 
and  made  the  sepulchre  sure, 
sealing  the  stoue,  and  setting  a 
watch. 

Appearance  to  the  Women. 

Matth.  xxviii,  1,  5, 6,8-10.  In  the 
end  of  the  6abl)ath,  as  it  began  to 
dawn  toward  the  first  day  of  the 
week,  came  Mary  Magdalene,  and 
the  other  Mary,  to  see  the  sepul- 
chre. And  the  angel  answered 
and  Bald  unto  the  women,  Fear  not 
ye:  lor  I  know  that  ye  seek  Jesus, 
which  was  crucified.  He  is  nut 
here;  for  ho  is  risen,  as  he  said. 
Come,  see  the  place  where  the 
Lord  lay.  And  they  departed 
quickly  Irom  the  sepulchre  with 
fear  and  great  joy,  and  did  run  to 
bring  his  disciples  word.  And  as 
they  went  to  tell  his  disciples, 
behold,  Jesus  met  them,  saying, 
All  hail.  And  they  came  and 
held  him  by  the  feet,  and  wor- 
shipped him.  Then  said  Jesus 
unto  them,  Be  not  afraid:  go  tell 
my  brethren  that  they  go  into 
Galilee,  and  there  shall  they  see 
me. 


Appeakance  to  Mabt 
Magdalene. 

Mark  xvi,  9-11.  Now,  when 
Jesus  was  risen  early,  the  first 
day  of  the  week,  he  appeared  first 
to  Mary  Magdalene,  out  of  whom 
he  had  cast  seven  devils.  And 
she  went  and  told  them  that  had 
been  with  him,  as  they  mourned 
and  wept.  And  they,  when  they 
had  heard  that  he  was  alive,  and 
had  been  seen  of  her,  believed 
not. 

John  XX,  1,  2,  11-18.  The  first 
day  of  the  week  cometh  Mary 
Magdalene  early,  when  it  was  yet 
dark,  unto  the  sepulchre,  and 
seeth  the  stone  taken  away  from 
the  sepulchre.  Then  she  runneth, 
and  Cometh  to  Simon  Peter,  and 
to  the  other  disciple  whom  Jesus 
loved,  and  saith  unto  them.  They 
have  taken  away  the  Lord  out  of 
the  sepulchre,  and  we  know  not 
where  they  have  laid  him.  But 
Mary  stood  without  at  the  sepul- 
clire weeping:  and,  as  she  wept, 
she  stooped  down,  and  looked 
into  the  sepulchre.  And  seeth 
two  angels  in  white  sitting,  the 
one  at  the  head,  and  the  other  at 
the  feet,  where  the  body  of  Jesus 
had  lain.  And  they  say  unto  her, 
Woman,  why  weepest  thou?  She 
saith  unto  them.  Because  they 
liave  taken  away  my  Lord,  and  I 
know  not  where  they  have  laid 
him.  And  when  she  had  thus  said, 
she  turned  herself  back,  and  saw 
Jesus  standing,  and  knew  not  that 
it  was  Jesus.  Jesus  saith  unto 
her.  Woman,  why  weepest  thou? 
whom  seekest  thou?  She,  sup- 
posing him  to  be  the  gardener, 
saith  unto  him.  Sir,  if  thou  have 
borne  him  hence,  tell  me  where 
thou  hast  laid  him,  and  I  will 
take  him  away.  Jesus  saith  unto 
her,  Marj^  She  turned  herself, 
and  saith"  unto  him,  Rabboni; 
which  is  to  say.  Master.  Jesus 
saith  unto  her.  Touch  me  not;  for 
I  am  not  yet  ascended  to  my 
Father:  but  go  to  my  brethren, 
and  say  unto  them,  I  ascend  unto 
my  Father,  and  your  Father;  and 
to  my  God,  and  your  God.  Mary 
Magdalene  came  and  told  the  dis- 
ciples that  she  had  seen  the  Lord, 
and  that  ho  had  spoken  these 
things  unto  her. 

Visit  oe  Peter  and  John  to 
THE  Sepulchre. 

John  XX,  3-10.  Peter  therefore 
went  forth,  and  that  other  dis- 
ciple, and  came  to  the  sepulchre. 
So  they  ran  both  together;  and  the 
other  disciple  didoutrun  Peter,and 
came  first  to  the  sepulchre.  And 
he  stooping  down,  and  looking  in, 
saw  the  linen  clothes  lying;  yet 
went  he  not  in.  Then  cometh 
Simon  Peter  following  him,  and  | 
wejit  into  the  sepulchie,  and  sect h  , 
the  linen  dolhes   lie,   And   the ' 

eoo 


napkin,  that  was  about  his  head, 
not  lying  with  the  linen  clothes, 
but  wrapped  together  in  a  place 
by  itself.  Then  went  in  also  that 
other  disciple,  which  came  first 
to  the  sepulchre,  and  he  saw,  and 
believed.  For  as  yet  they  knew 
not  the  scripture,  that  he  must 
rise  again  from  the  dead.  Then 
the  disciples  went  away  again  un- 
to their  own  home. 

Appearance  to  the  Disciples 

GOING  TO   EjIMAUS. 

Luke  xxiv,  13-16,  28-35.  And, 
beliold,  two  of  them  went  that 
same  day  to  a  village  called 
Eminaus,  which  was  from  Jeru- 
salem about  threescore  furlongs. 
And  they  talked  together  of  all 
these  things  which  had  happened. 
And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  while 
they  communed  together,  and 
reasoned,  Jesus  himself  drew  near, 
and  went  with  them.  But  their 
eyes  were  holden  that  they  should 
not  know  him.  And  they  drew 
nigh  unto  the  village  Avhither 
they  went:  and  he  made  as 
though  he  would  have  gone 
further.  But  they  constrained 
him,  saying.  Abide  with  us;  for  it 
is  toward  evening,  and  the  day  is 
far  spent.  And  he  went  in  to 
tarry  with  them.  And  It  came  to 
pass,  as  he  sat  at  meat  with  them, 
he  took  bread,  and  blessed  it,  and 
brake,  and  gave  to  them.  And 
their  eyes  were  opened,  and  they 
knew  him;  and  he  vanished  out 
of  their  sight.  And  they  said  one 
to  another.  Did  not  our  heart 
burn  within  us,  while  he  talked 
with  us  by  the  way,  and  while  he 
opened  to  us  the  scriptures?  And 
they  rose  up  the  same  hour,  and 
returned  to  Jerusalem,  and  found 
the  eleven  gathered  together,  and 
them  that  were  with  them.  Say- 
ing, The  Lord  is  risen  indeed,  and 
hath  appeared  to  Simon.  And 
they  told  what  things  were  done 
in  the  way,  and  how  he  Avas 
known  of  them  in  breaking  of 
bread. 

Appearance  to  tue  Disciples. 

John  XX,  19-21,  24,  25.  Then 
the  same  day  at  evening,  being

disciples  were  assembled  for  fear 
of  the  Jews,  came  Jesusa'.id  stood 
In  the  midst,  and  saith  unto  them. 
Peace  be  unto  you.  And  when  he 
had  so  said,  he  shewed  unto  them 
his  hands  and  his  side.  Then 
were  the  disciples  glad  when 
they  saw  the  Lord.  Tlien  said 
Jesus  to  them  again,  Peace  be  tm- 
to  you:  as  my  Father  hath  sent 
me,  even  so  send  I  you.  But 
Thomas,  one  of  the  twelve,  called 
Didymus,  was  not  with  them 
when  Jesus  oarne.  The  other 
disciples  therelore  said  unto  him,

We  have  seen  the  Lord.  But  ho  t  On  a  Mountain  in  Galilee. 
Baid  unto  them,  Except  I  sluill  31am.  xxviii,  16-18.  Then  the

Appeabance  to  the  Eleven. 

John  XX.  26-29.  And  after  eight 
days,  again  his  disciples  were 
within,  and  Thomas  with  them. 
T'len  came  -Tesus,  the  doors  being 
shut,  and  stood  in  the  midst,  and 
said,  Peace  be  unto  you.  Then 
saith  he  to  Thomas,  Reach  hitlier 
thy  finger,  and  behold  my  handi 


him.  tliey  wor- 
siiipped  him;  but  some  doubted. 
Aud  Jesus  came  and  spake  unto 
them,  saying.  All  power  is  given 
unto  me  in  heaven  and  in  earth. 

FuRTHEB  Proofs. 
Acts  i,  3, 4.  To  whom  also  he

speaking  of  the  things  pertaining 
to  the  kingdom   of   God:     And, 


and  reach  liither  thy  hand,  and  j  ^gj^g   assembled    together  with

Thomas  answered  and  said  unto 
him,  My  Lord  and  my  God. 
Jesus  saith  unto  him,  Thomas, 
because  thou  hast  seen  me,  thou 
hast  believed:  blessed  aj-e  they 
that  have  not  seen,  and  yet  have 
believed. 

Falsehood  of  the  Sanhedrim. 

J»frt«/j.  xxviii,  11-15.  Now,  when 
they  were  going,  behold,  some  of 
the  watch  came  into  the  city,  and 


should  not  depart  from  -lerusalenv 
but  wait  for  the  promise  of  the 
Father,  which,  saith  he,  ye  have 
heard  of  me. 

Acts  X,  40,  41.  Ilira  God  raised 
up  the  third  day,  and  shewed  him 
openly;  Not  to  all  the  people,  but 
unto  witnesses  chosen  betore  of 
God,  even  to  us,  who  did  eat  and 
drink  with  him  after  he  rose  from 
the  dead. 

1  Cor.  XV,  5-7.  And  that  he  was 
seen  of  Cephas,  then  of  tlie  twelve, 
shewed  unto  the  chief  priests  all  i  After  that  he  was  seen  of  above

disciples  came  by  night,  and  stole 
him  away  while  we  slept.  And  if 
this  come  to  the.  governor's  ears, 
we  will  persuade  him,  and  secure 
you.  So  they  took  the  money, 
and  did  as  they  were  taught:  and 
this  saying  is  commonly  reporied 
among  the  Jews  until  this  day. 

Appeaeance  at  the  Sea  ov

raised  up,  having  loosed  the  pains 
of  death:  because  it  was  not  possi- 
ble that  he  should  be  holden  of  it.

whereof  we  all  are  witnesses. 

Acts  iii,  15.  26.  And  killed  the 
Prince  of  life,  whom  God  hath

Jesus,  sent  him  to  bless  you,  in 
turning  away  every  one  of  you 
from  his  iniquities.

dead,  and  should  shew  light  unto 
the  people,  and  to  the  Gentiles. 

Horn,  i,  4.  And  declared  to  be 
the  Son  of  God  with  power,

JRom.  viii,  11.  But  if  the  Spirit 
of  him  that  raised  up  Jesus  from 
the  dead  dwell  in  you,  he  that

shall  also  quicken  your  mortal 
bodies  by  his  Spirit  that  dwelleth 
in  you.

2  Cor.  xiii,  4.  For  though  he  was 
crucified  through  weakness,  yet 
he  liveth  by  the  power  of  God:  for

of  God  toward  you. 

Gal.  i,  1.  Paul,  an  apostle,  (not

11. THE  ASCENSION. 

Ltike  xxiv,  50,  51.  And  he  led 
them  out  as  far  as  to  Bethany;  and 
he  lifted  up  his  hands  and  blessed 
tliem.  And  it  came  to  pass,  while 
he  blessed  them,  he  was  parted 
from  them,  and  carried  up  into 
heaven. 

Acts  I,  1,  2,  10, 11.  The  former 
treatise  have  I  made,  O  Theophi- 
lus,  of  all  that  Jesus  began  both  to 
do  and  teach.  Until  the  day  in 
which  he  was  taken  up,  after  that 
he  through  the  Holy  Ghost  had 
given  commandments  unto  the 
apostles  whom  he  liad  chosen. 
And.  while  they  looked  stedfastly 
toward  heaven,  as  he  went  up, 
behold,  two  men  stood  by  them 
in  white  apparel;  Which  also 
said.  Ye  men  oi  Galilee,  why  stand 
ye  gazing  up  into  heaven?  this 
same  Jesus,  which  is  taken  up 
from  you  into  heaven,  shall  so 
come  in  like  manner  as  ye  have 
seen  him  go  into  heaven. 

Acts  ii,  33-36.  Therefore  being 
by  the  right  hand  of  God  exalted, 
and  having  received  of  the  Father 
the  promise  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  ha 


hath  shed  forth  thfs,  whfch  ye  now 
Bee  and  heur.  For  David  is  not 
ascended  into  the  heavens;  but  lie 
saith  himself,  The  Lord  said  unto 
my  Lord,  Sit  thou  on  my  right 
hand,  Until  I  make  thy  foes  thy 
footstool.  Therefore  let  all  the 
house  of  Israel  know  assuredly, 
that  God  hath  made  that  same 
Jesus,  whom  ye  have  crucified, 
both  Lord  and  Christ. 

Acts  vii,  55,  56.  But  he,beinj? 
full  of  1  he  Holy  Ghost,  looked  up 
stedfastly  into  heaven,  and  saw 
the  glory  of  God,  and  Jesus  stand- 
ing on  the  right  hand  of  God, 
And  said,  Behold,!  see  the  heavens 
opened,  and  the  Son  of  man  stand- 
ing on  the  right  hand  of  God. 

Acts  xiii,  34, 35.  And  as  concern- 
ing that  he  raised  him  up  from  the 
dead,  now  no  more  to  return  to 
corruption,  he  said  on  thfs  wise,  I 
■will  give  you  the  sure  mercies  of 
David.  Wherefore  he  saith  also  in 
another  psalm.  Thou  shall  not 
suffer  thine  Llvly  One  to  see  cor- 
ruption. 

Jiom.  vl,  8-10.  Now,  If  we  be 
dead  with  Christ,  we  believe  that 
we  shall  also  live  witli  him:  Know- 
ing that  Christ,  being  raised  from 
the  dead,  dieth  no  more;  death 
hath  no  more  dominion  over  him. 
For  in  that  he  died,  he  died  unto 
sin  once:  but  in  that  he  liveth,  he 
liveth  unto  God. 

Eph.  i,  20.  Which  he  wrought 
in  Christ,  when  he  raised  him 
from  the  dead,  and  set  him  at  his 
own  ri^-ht  hand  in  the  heavenly 
places. 

Col.  ill,  1,  If  ye  then  be  risen 
witli  Christ,  seek  those  things 
which  are  above,  where  Christ 
Bitteth  on  the  right  hand  of  God. 

Heb.  X,  12,  13.  But  this  man, 
after  he  had  offered  one  sacrifice 
for  sins,  for  ever  sat  down  on  the 
right  hand  of  God;  From  hence- 
forth expecting  till  his  enemies  be 
made  his  footstool. 

1  Peter  i,  21.  Who  by  him  do 
believe  in  God,  that  raised  him 
np  from  the  dead,  and  gave  him 
glory;  that  your  faith  and  hope 
might  be  in  God. 

1  Peter  iii,  22.  Who  is  gone  into 
heaven,  ami  is  on  the  right  hand 
of  God;  angels,  and  authorities, 
and  powers,  being  made  subject 
unto  him. 

Pev.  ii,  8.  And  unto  the  angel  of 
the  church  in  Smyrna  write ; 
These  thiugs  saith  the  first  and 
the  last,  which  was  dead,  and  is 
alive. 

Rev.  xif,  5.  And  she  brought

and  her  child  was  caught  up  unto 
God.  and  to  his  thruue.

of  man  hath  not  where  to  lay  his 
head. 

John  iv,  7,  8.  There  cometh  a 
woman  of  Samaria  to  draw  water,

pass,  that,  as  Jesus  sat  at  meat  in 
his  house,  many  publicans  and 
sinners  sat  also  together  with 
Jesus  and  his  disciples:  for  there 
were  many,  and  they  followed 
him.  And  when  the  scribes  and 
Pharisees  saw  him  eat  with  pub- 
licans and  sinners,  they  said  unto 
his  disciples,  How  is  it  that  he 
eateth  and  drinketh  with  publi- 
cans and  sinners? 

Luke  V,  29.  And  Levi  made 
him  a  great  feast  in  his  own

Luke  X,  38.  Now  it  came  to  pass,

came  to  the  place,  he  looked  up, 
and  saw  him,  and  said  unto  him, 
Zaccheus,  make  haste,  and  come

thy  house.  And  he  made  haste, 
and  came  down,  and  received  him 
joyfully. 

John  iv,  40.  So  when  the  Samar-

that  ye  know  not  of.  Theref(jre 
said  the  disciples  one  to  anotlier, 
Ilath  any  man  brought  him  ought 
to  eat?  Jesus  saith  unto  them. 
My  meat  is  to  do  the  will  of  him 
that  sent  me,  and  to  finish  his 
work.

women  looking  on  afar  off:  among 
whom  was  Mary  Magdalene,  and 
Mary  the  mother  of  James  the

same  came  to  Jesus  by  night,  and 
said  unto  him,  Hablji,  we  know

that  ever  I  did:  is  not  this  tlie 
Christ?  Then  they  went  out  of 
the  city,  and  came  unto  him.  And 
many  of  the  Samaritans  of  that 
city  believed  on  him  for  the  say- 
ing of  the  woman,  which  testified, 
he  told  me  all  that  ever  I  did. 
And  many  more  believed  because 
of  his  own  word;  And  said  unto 
the  woman,  Now  we  believe,  not 
because  of  thy  saying:  for  we 
have  heard  him  ourselves,  and 
know  that  this  is  indeed  the  Christ, 
the  Saviour  of  the  world.

had  not  died.  But  I  know,  tliat 
even  now.  Avhatsoever  thou  wilt 
ask  of  God,  God  will  give  it  thee. 
She  saith  unto  him,  Yea,  Lord:  I 
believe  that  thou  art  the  Christ, 
tlio  Son  of  God,  which  shoiUd 
come  into  the  world.  Then  when 
Mary  was  come  where  Jesus  was, 
and  saw  him,  she  fell  down  at  his 
feet,  saying  unto  him,  Lord,  if 
thou  hadst  been  here,  my  brother 
had  not  died.  Tlien  many  of  the 
Jews  which  came  to  Mary,  and 
had  seen  the  things  which  Jesus 
did,  believed  on  him. 

John  xii,  11.  Because  that  by 
reason  of  him  many  of  the  Jews 
went  away,  and  believed  ou

OUR  EXAMPLE. 

Rom.  viii,  29.  For  whom  he  did 
foreknow,  he  also  did  predestinate 
to  be  conformed  to  the  image  of  his 
Son,  that  he  nught  be  llie  tirst- 
bom  among  many  brethren. 

Rom.  XV,  3.    For   even   Christ ' 


pleased  not  htmself;  but,  as  It  Is 
written.  The  reproaches  of  them 
that  reproached  thee  fell  on  me. 

Phil,  ii,  5.  Let  this  mind  be  in 
you,  which  was   also   iu   Christ 


Heb.  xii,  2,  3,  21.  Looking  unto 
Jesus  the  author  and  finisher  ol 
our  faith;  wlio,  for  the  joy  that 
was  set  before  him,  endured  the 
cross,  despising  the  shame,  and  is 
set  down  at  the  right  liaiid  of  the 
throne  of  God.  For  consider  him 
that  endured  such  contradiction 
of  sinners  against  Inmself,  lest 
ye  be  wearied  and  faint  in  your 
minds. 

1  Peter  ii,  21.  For  even  hereunto 
were  ye  called;  because  Christ 
also  suffered  for  us,  leaving  us  an 
example,  that  ye  should  follow  hia 
steps. 

1  John  ii,  a.  He  that  saith  he 
abideth  in  him,  ought  himself  also 
so  to  walk,  even  as  he  walked. 

1  John  iii,  16.  Hereby  perceive 
we  the  love  of  God,  because  he 
laid  down  his  life  for  us:  and  we 
ought  to  lay  down  our  lives  for  the 
brethren.

A  PROPHET. 

Matth.  xxl,  10, 11.  And  when  he 
was  come  into  Jerusalem,  all  the 
city  was  moved,  saying,  Who  is 
this?  And  the  multitude  said. 
Tills  is  Jesus  the  prophet  of 
Nazareth  of  Galilee. 

Luke  i,  76.  And  thou,  child, 
shalt  be  called  the  Prophet  of  the 
Highest:  for  thou  shalt  go  before 
the  face  of  the  Lord  to  prepare 
his  ways. 

Luke  vil,  16,  39.  And  there 
came  a  fear  on  all:  and  they 
glorified  God,  saying,  Tliat  a 
great  propliet  is  risen  up  amor.g 
us;  and.  That  God  hath  visited 
his  people.  Now  when  the 
Pharisee  which  had  bidden  him 
saw  it,  he  spake  within  liimsidf, 
saying.  This  man,  if  he  were  a 
prophet,  would  have  known  who 
and  what  manner  of  woman  this 
is  that  toucheth  him;  for  she  is  a 
sinner. 

Luke  xxiv,  19.  And  he  said  unto 
them,  Wliat  things?  And  they 
said  unto  him.  Concerning  Jesus 
of  Nazareth,  which  was  a  prophet 
migliiy  in  deed  and  word  before 
God  aiid  all  the  people. 

John  iv,  19.  The  woman  saith 
unto  him.  Sir,  I  perceive  that 
thou  art  a  prophet. 

John  vi,  14.  Then  those  men, 
wlen  they  had  seen  the  miracle 
that  Jesus  did,  said,  This  is  of  a 


JESUS  CHEIST. 


trnfh  that  Prophet   that  should 
come  into  the  world, 

Jolm  ix,  17.  They  say  unto  the 
blind  man  aj^ain,  Wliat  sayest 
thou  of  him,  tliut  he  hath  opened 
thine  eyes?  He  said,  He  is  a 
prophet. 

VARIOUS  PREDICTIONS 
MADE  BY  CHRIST. 

PROPHECY  OF  FALSE  CHRIST3. 

Matth.  xxiv,  4,  5,  23-26.  And 
Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  Talie  heed  that  no  man  de- 
ceive you:  For  many  shall  come 
in  my  name,  saying,  I  am  Christ; 
and  shall  deceive  many.  Then  if 
any  man  shall  say  unto  you,  Lo, 
here  is  Christ,  or  there;  believe  it 
not.  For  there  shall  arise  false 
Christs,  and  false  prophets,  and 
shall  shew  great  signs  and  won- 
ders; ius(jmuch  that,  if  it  loere  pos- 
sible, they  shall  deceive  the  very 
elect.  BelH)ld,  I  have  told  you 
before.  Wherefore  if  they  shall 
say  unto  you,  Behold,  he  is  in  the 
desert;  go  not  lorth:  behold,  he  is 
in  the  secret  chambers;  believe  it 
not. 

Acts  V,  38,  37.  For  before  these 
days  rose  up  Theudas,  boasting 
himself  to  be  somebody;  to  whom 
a  numtier  of  men,  about  four  hun- 
dred, joined  themselves:  who  was 
slain;  and  all,  as  many  as  obeyed 
him,  were  scattered,  and  brought 
to  nought.  After  this  man  rose 
up  Judas  of  Galilee,  in  the  days 
of  the  taxing,  and  drew  away  much 
people  after  him:  he  also  perished; 
aud  all,  even  as  many  as  obeyed 
him,  were  dispersed. 

Of  the  Downfall  of 
Jerusalem. 
Matth.  xxiv,  14-16,  18,  34,  35. 
And  this  gospel  of  the  kingdom 
shall  be  preached  in  all  the  world 
for  a  witness  unto  all  nations;  and 
then  shall  the  end  come.  Wlien 
ye  therefore  shall  see  tlie  abomi- 
nation of  desolation,  spoken  of  by 
Daniel  the  prophet,  stand  in  the 
holy  place,  (whoso  readeth  let 
him  understand,)  Tiien  let  them 
which  be  in  Ju  lea  flee  into  the 
mountains:  Neither  let  him  which 
is  in  the  field  return  back,  to  take 
Lis  clothes.  Vetily  I  say  unto 
you,  This  generation  shall  not 
pass,  till  all  these  things  be  ful- 
filled. Heaven  and  earth  shall 
pass  away,  but  my  words  shall  not 
pass  away. 

Of  the  Treachery  of  Judas. 

Mark  xlv,  18-20.  And  as  they 
sat  and  did  eat.  Jesus  said,  "Verily 
I  say  unto  you.  One  of  you  which 
eateth  with  me  sliall  betray  me. 
And  they  began  to  be  sorrowful, 
and  to  say  unto  him  one  by  one. 
Is  it  1?  and  another  said.  Is  it  ii 


And  he  answered  and  said  unfo 
them,  It  is  one  of  the  twelve  that 
dippeth  with  me  in  the  dish. 

Matth.  xx\l.  45 A6.  Then  cometh 
he  to  his  disciples,  and  saith  unto 
them.  Sleep  on  now,  and  take  your 
rest:  beh.-ld,  the  hour  is  at  hand, 
and  the  Son  of  man  is  betrayed 
into  the  hands  of  sinners.  Rise,  let 
us  be  going:  behold,  he  is  at  hand 
that  doth  betray  me. 

John  xiii,  10,  11,  18-26.  Jesus 
saith  to  him,  He  that  is  washed 
needeth  not,  save  to  wash  his  feet, 
but  is  clean  every  whit:  and  ye 
are  clean,  but  not  all.  For  iie 
knew  who  should  betray  him; 
therefore  said  he.  Ye  are  not 
all  clean.  I  speak  not  of  you  all; 
I  know  whom  I  have  chosen:  but, 
that  the  scripture  may  be  fulfilled. 
He  that  eateth  bread  with  me 
hath  lifted  up  his  heel  against 
me.  Now  I  tell  you  before  it 
come,  that,  when  it  is  come  to 
pass,  ye  may  believe  that  I  am  he. 
Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you.  He 
that  receiveth  whomsoever  I  send, 
receiveth  me;  and  he  that  receiv- 
eth me,  receiveth  him  that  sent 
me.  When  Jesus  had  thus  said, 
he  was  troubled  in  spirit,  and  tes- 
tified, and  said.  Verily,  verily,  I 
say  unto  you,  That  one  of  you 
shall  betray  me.  Then  the  dis- 
ciples looked  one  on  another, 
doubting  of  whom  he  spake.  Now 
there  was  leaning  on  Jesus'  bosom 
one  of  his  disciples,  whom  Jesus 
loved.  Simon  Peter  therelore 
beckoned  to  him,  that  he  should 
ask  who  it  should  be  of  whom  lie 
spake.  He  then,  lying  on  Jesus' 
breast,  saith  unto  him,  Lord,  who 
is  it?  Jesus  answered,  lie  it  Is  to 
whom  I  shall  give  a  sop,  when  I 
have  dipped  it.  And  when  he 
had  dipped  the  sop,  he  gave  it  to 
Judas  iscariot,  the  son  of  Simou. 

About  the  Last  Passover. 
Jfar/c  xiv,  13-16.  And  he  send- 
eth  forth  two  of  his  disciples,  and 
saith  unto  them.  Go  ye  into  the 
city,  and  there  shall  meet  you  a 
man  bearing  a  pitch(;r  of  water: 
foUow  him.  Aui  wheresoever  he 
sliall  go  in,  say  ye  to  the  gootiman 
of  the  house.  The  Miister  s;.i  li, 
Where  is  the  guest-chamber, 
where  I  shall  eat  the  pissover 
with  my  diseiples?  And  ho  will 
show  you  a  large  upper  room  fur- 
nished and  prepared:  there  make 
ready  for  u.s.  And  his  disciples 
went  forth,  and  came  into  the  city, 
and  lound  as  he  had  said  unto 
them:  and  they  made  ready  tho 
passover. 

Of  Peter's  Denial. 

Matth.  xxvi,  31,  34.  Tlien  saith 

Jesus  unto  them,  All  ye  shall  1)0 

olleiKied  because  ot  me  this  night: 

lor  it  is  written,  I  will  smile  the 

mo 


Shepherd,  and  the  sheep  of  the 
flock  shall  be  scattered  abroad. 
Jesus  said  unto  him.  Verily,  I  say 
unto  thee.  That  this  night  before 
the  cock  crow,  thou  shaft  deny 
me  thrice. 

Mark  xiv,  72.  And  the  second 
time  the  cock  crew.  And  Peter 
called  to  mind  the  word  that  Jesus 
said  unto  him,  Before  the  cock 
crow  twice,  thou  shalt  deny  me 
thrice.  And  when  he  thought 
thereon,  he  wept. 

Of  his  Own  Capture  and 

Death. 
3fatth.  xvi,  21-23.  From  that 
time  forth  began  Jesus  to  shew 
unto  his  disciidos,  how  that  he 
must  go  unto  Jerusalem,  and 
sutler  many  things  of  the  elders, 
and  chief  priests,  and  scribes,  and 
be  killed,  and  be  raised  again  the 
third  day.  Then  Peter  took  him, 
and  began  to  rebuke  him,  saying, 
Be  it  far  from  thee.  Lord:  this 
shall  not  be  unto  thee.  But  lie 
turned,  and  said  unto  Peter,  Get 
thee  behind  me,  Satan;  thou  art 
an  olfence  unto  me:  for  tliou 
savourest  not  the  things  that  be 
of  God,  but  those  that  be  of  men. 

Matth.  xvii,  22,  23.  And,  while 
they  abode  in  Galilee,  Jesus  said 
unto  them.  The  Son  of  man  shall 
be  betrayed  into  the  hands  of 
men;  And  they  shall  kill  him,  and 
tlie  third  day  he  shall  be  raised 
again.  And  they  were  exceeding 
sorry. 

Matth.  XX,  17-19.  And  Jesus, 
going  up  to  Jerusalem,  took  the 
tweve  disciples  apart  in  the  way, 
and  said  unto  them.  Behold,  we 
go  up  to  Jerusalem;  and  the  Son 
of  man  shall  be  betrayed  unto  the 
cliief  priests,  and  unto  the  scribes, 
and  they  shall  condemn  him  to 
death.  And  shall  deliver  him  to 
the  Gentiles,  to  mock,  aud  to 
scourge,  and  to  criiCify  him:  and 
the  third  day  he  shall  rise  again. 

Matth.  xxvi,  1,  2.  And  it  cam© 
to  pass,  when  Jesus  had  linished 
all  these  sayings,  he  said  unto  his 
disciples.  Ye  know  that  alter  two 
days  is  the  feast  of  the  passover, 
and  the  Son  ot  man  is  betrayed  to 
be  crucified. 

Luke  ix,  43, 44.  And  they  were  all 
amazed  at  the  mighty  power  of 
God.  But,  while  they  wondered 
every  one  ar.  all  things  whieh 
Jesus  did,  he  said  unto  his  dis- 
ciples  The  Son  of  man 

shall  be  delivered  into  the  hands 
of  men.

be  rt^yected  of  this  generation. 

John  xii,  23,  32-34.  And  Jesns 
answered  them,  saying,  The  hour 
Is  come,  that  the  Son  of  man 
should  be  glorified.  And  I,  if  I 
be  lifted  up  from  the  earth,  will 
draw  all  me/i  unto  me.  (This  he 
said,  signifying  what  death  he 
should  die )  The  people  answer- 
ed him,  We  have  heai-d  out  of  the 
law  tliat  Christ  abideth  for  ever: 
and  how  sayest  thou,  Ti'c-  Son  of 
man  must  be  lifted  up?  who  is  this 
Son  of  man?

man  be  three  days  and  three  nights 
in  tlie  heart  of  tlie  earth. 

John  ii,  19-22.  Jesus  answered 
and  said  uuto  them,  Destroy  this 
temple,  and  in  three  days  I  will 
raise  it  up,  Tiien  said  the  Jews, 
Forty  and  six  years  was  this 
temple  in  building,  and  wilt  thou 
rear  it  up  in  tliree  days?  But  he 
spake  of  the  temple  of  his  body. 
When  therefore  he  was  risen  from 
the  dead,  his  disciples  remember- 
ed that  he  had  said  this  unto  them; 
and  they  believed  the  scripture, 
and  the  word  which  Jesus  had 
said. 

John  xii,  7.  Then  said  Jesus, 
Let  her  alone:  against  the  day  of 
my  burying  hatli  she  kept  this. 

Op  Peter's  Martyrdom. 

John  xxi,  18-22.  Verily,  verily' 
I  say  unto  thee,  When  thou  wast 
young,  thou  girdedst  thyself,  and 
walkedst  whither  thou  wonkiest: 
but  when  thi<u  shall  be  old,  thou 
Shalt  stretch  forth  thy  hands,  and 
another  shall  gird  thee,  and  carry 
thee  whither  thou  wonkiest  not. 
This  spake  he,  signifying  by  what 
death  he  shotdd  glorify  God.  And 
when  he  had  si)oken  this,  he  saith 
unto  him.  Follow  me.  Then 
Peter,  turning  about,  seeth  the 
disciple  whom  Jesus  loved  follow- 
ing; which  also  leaned  on  his 
breast  at  supper,  and  said,  Lord, 
which  is  he  that  betrayeth  thee? 
Peter  seeing  him,  saith  to  Jesus, 
Lord,  and  what  shall  this  man  rfo? 
Jesus  saith  unto  him,  if  I  will 
that  he  tarry  till  I  come,  what  is 
that  to  thee?  Follow  thou  me.

Ps.  11,  6.  Yet  have  I  set  my  King 
upon  my  holy  hill  of  Zioo. 

Ps.  xlv,  1,  2,  4.  My  heart  is  in- 
diting a  good  matter:  I  speak  of 
the  tilings  which  I  have  made 
touching  the  King;  my  tongue  is 
the  pen  of  a  ready  writer.  Tliou 
art  fairer  than  the  children  of 
men;  grace  is  poured  into  thy 
lips:  therefore  God  hath  blessed 
thee  for  ever,.  ..  In  thy  mnjesty 
ride  prosperously,becauseof  truth, 
and  meekness,  and  righteousness; 
and  thy  right  hand  shall  teach 
thee  terrible  things. 

Ps.  ex,  2,  5,  6.  The  Lord  shall 
send  the  rod  of  thy  strength  out  of 
Zion:  rule  thou  in  tlie  midst  of 
tliine  enemies.  The  Lord  at  thy 
right  hand  shall  strike  through 
kings  in  the  day  of  his  wratli.  lie 
shall  judge  among  the  heathen, 
he  shall  till  the  places  with  the 
dead  bodies;  he  shall  wound  the 
heads  over  many  countries. 

Isa  ix,  7,  Of  the  increase  of  his 
government  and  peace  there  shall 
be  no  end,  upon  the  throne  of 
David,  and  upon  his  kingdom,  to 
order  it,  and  to  establisli  it  with 
judgment  and  with  justice  from 
henceforth  even  for  ever 

Isa.  xvi,  5.  And  in  mercy  shall 
the  throne  be  established;  and  he 
shall  sit  upon  it  in  truth  in  the 
tabernacle  of  David,  judging,  and 
seeking  judgment,  and  haatiug 
righteousness, 

Isa.  xxii,  20,  22,  And  it  shall 
come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  I 
will  call  my  servant  Eliakim  the 
son  of  Hilkiah.  And  the  key  of 
the  house  of  David  will  I  lay  upon 
his  shoulder;  so  he  shall  open,  and 
none  shall  shut;  and  he  shall  shut, 
and  none  shall  open. 

75a,  xxxii,  1,  Behold,  a  king 
shall  reign  in  righteousness,  and 
princes  shall  rule  in  judgment. 

Jer.  XXX,  9.  But  they  shall  serve 
the  Lord  their  God,  and  David 
tlieir  king,  whom  I  will  raise  up 
unto  them. 

Ezek.  xxxiv,  24.  And  T  the  Lord 
will  be  their  God,  and  my  servant 
David  a  prince  among  them;  1  the 
Lord  have  spoken  it. 

Ezek.  xxxvii,  24,  25.  And  David 
my  servant  shall  be  king  over 
them;  and  they  all  shall  have  one 
shepherd:  they  shall  also  walk  in 
my  judgments,  and  observe  my 
statutes,  and  do  them.  And  they 
shall  dwell  in  the  land  that  I  have 
given  unto  Jacob  my  servant, 
wherein  your  fathers  have  dwelt; 
and  they  shall  dwell  therein,  even 
they,  and  their  children,  and  their 
children's  children,  for  ever,  and 
811 


my  servant  David  shall  be  their 
prince  for  ever. 

Daniel  vii,  13. 14.  I  saw  m  the 
night-visions, and,  behold, one  like 
tlie  Son  of  man  came  with  the 
clouds  of  heaven,  and  came  to  the 
Ancient  of  days, and  they  brought 
him  near  before  him.  And  thero 
was  given  him  dominion,  and 
glory,  and  a  kingdom,  that  all 
people,  nations,  and  languages, 
should  serve  him:  his  dominion  is 
an  everlasting  dominion,  which 
shall  not  pass  away,  and  his  king- 
dom that  which  shall  not  be  des- 
troyed. 

Has.  ii!,  5.  Afterward  shall  the 
children  of  Israel  return,  and  seek 
the  Lord  their  God,  and  David 
their  king;  and  shall  fear  the  Loro 
and  his  goodness  in  the  latter 
days, 

LJtTce  i,  32, 33.  He  shall  be  great, 
and  shall  be  called  the  Son  oi  the 
Iligliest:  and  the  Lord  God  shall 
give  unto  him  the  throne  of  his 
father  David;  And  he  shall  reign 
over  the  house  of  Jacob  for  ever; 
and  of  his  kingdom  there  shall  be 
no  end, 

1  (7o?'.  xv,25.  For  he  must  reign, 
till  he  hath  put  all  enemies  under 
his  feet, 

Phil,  ii,  9,  10.  Wherefore  God 
also  hath  highly  exalted  him,  and 
given  him  a  name  which  is  above 
every  name;  That  at  the  name 
of  Jesus  every  knee  should  bow, 
of  thiujs  in  heaven,  and  things 
in  earth,  and  things  under  the 
earth. 

Pev.  xix,  16.  And  he  hath  on  his 
vesture  and  on  his  thigh  a  name 
written,  KING  OP  Kli<GS,  AND 
LORD  OF  LORDS. 

THE  MEDIATORIAL  KING- 
DOM   RECEIVED   FROM    THE 
FATHER  AS  THE  REWARD 
OF  HIS  SUFFERINGS 
AND  DEATH, 

Matth.  XX,  23 To  sit  on 

my  right  hand,  and  on  my  left, 
1^  not  mine  to  give,  but  it  shall  be 
given  to  them  for  whom  it  is  pre- 
pared of  my  Father. 

John  iii,  34,  35.  For  he  whom 
God  hath  sent  speaketh  the  words 
of  God:  for  God  giveth  not  the 
Spirit  by  measure  unto  him.  The 
Father  loveth  the  Son,  and  hatU 
given  all  things  into  his  hand, 

John  xvi,  15,  All  things  that 
the  Father  hath  are  mine:  there- 
fore said  I,  that  he  shall  take  of 
mine,  and  shall  shew  it  unto 
you. 

Pom.  xlv.  9.  For  to  this  end 
Christ  both  died,  and  rose,  and 
revived,  that  he  might  be  Lord 
bjth  of  the  dead  and  living. 


JESUS  CmilST. 


1    Cor.  ill,   23.     And   ye  are 

Christ's;  and  Clirlst  is  God's. 

1  (7or.  XV.  24,  27.  28.  The«  com^ 
eth  the  end,  wlien  he  shall  liave 
delivered  up  tlie  liinordom  to  God. 
even  the  Father;  when  he  shall 
have  put  down  all  rule,  and  all 
authority  and  power.  For  he  hath 
put  all  things  under  his  feet.  But 
when  he  saith.  All  things  are  put 
vnder  him,  it  is  mnnifcst  that  he 
is  excepted,  which  did  put  all 
things  under  him.  And  when 
all  things  shall  he  suhdued  unto 
him,  then  shall  the  Son  also  him- 
self be  subject  unto  him  that  put 
all  things  under  him,  that  God 
may  be  all  in  all. 

JEph.  i.  20 He   [God] 

raised  llira  [Christ]  from  the  dead, 
and  set  him  at  his  own  right 
hand  in  the  heavenly  places. 

Phil,  ii,  9.  Wherefore  God  also 
hath  highly  exalted  him,  and 
given  him  a  name  which  is  above 
every  name. 

Heb.  I,  9.  Thou  hast  loved 
righteousness,  and  hated  iniquity; 
therefore  God,  even  tljy  God,  hath 
anointed  thee  wir'i  the  oil  of  glad- 
ness above  thy  fellows. 

ffeb.  ii,  8,  9.  Thou  hast  put  all 
things  in  subjection  under  his 
feet.  For  in  that  he  put  all  in  sub- 
jection under  him,  he  left  nothing 
that  is  not  put  under  him.  But 
nowwe  see  not  yet  all  things  put 
under  him.  But  we  see  Jesus,  who 
was  made  a  little  lower  than  the 
angels  for  the  suffering  of  death, 
crowned  with  glory  and  honour, 
that  he  by  the  grace  of  God  should 
taste  death  for  every  man. 

CHKIST  AS  MEDIATOR. 

Subordinate  to  the  Fatheb. 

John  V,  20, 26, 30.  For  the  Father 
loveth  the  Son  and  sheweth  him  all 
things  that  himself  doeth:  and  he 
will  show  him  greater  works  than 
these,  that  ye  may  marvel.  For 
as  the  Father  hath  life  in  himself, 

80  hath  he  given  to  the  Son 

I  can  of  mine  own  self  do  nothing: 
as  I  hear,  I  judge:  and  my  judg- 
ment is  just;  because  I  seek  not 
mine  own  will,  but  the  will  of  the 
Father  which  hath  sent  me. 

John  viil,  26,  28,  29.  I  have 
many  things  to  say  and  to  judge 
of  you:  but  he  that  sent  me  is 
true;  and  I  speak  to  the  world 
those  things  which  I  have  heard 
of  him.  Then  said  Jesus  unto 
them,  When  ye  have  lifted  up  ;  ho 
Son  of  man,  then  shall  ye  know 
that  I  am  he,  and  that  I  do  no- 
thing of  myself;  but  as  my  Father 
hath  taught  me,  I  speak  those 
things.  And  he  that  sent  me  is 
with  me:  the  Fatlier  hath  not  left 
me  alone;  tor  I  do  always  those 
things  that  please  him. 

John  X,  18.    Mo  man  taketh  It 


from  me,  but  1  lay  it  down  of  my 
self:  I  have  puwer  to  lay  it  down, 
and  I  have  power  to  take  it 
again.  This  commandment  have 
I  received  of  my  Father. 

Joh7i  xii,  49,  50.  For  I  have 
not  spoken  of  myself;  but  the 
Father  which  sent  me,  he  gave 
me  a  commandment,  what  I 
should  say,  and  what  I  should 
speak.  And  I  know  that  his 
commandment  is  life  everlasting: 
whatsoever  I  speak  therefore, 
even  as  the  Father  said  unto  me, 
80  I  speak. 

John  xiv,  24, 28.  He  that  loveth 
me  not  keepeth  not  my  sayings: 
and  the  word  which  ye  hear  is  aot 
mine,  hut  the  Father's  which  sent 
me.  Ye  have  heard  how  I  said 
unto  you,  I  go  away,  and  come 
agrain  unto  you.  If  ye  loved  me, 
ye  would  rejoice,  because  I  said, 
I  go  unto  the  Father:  for  my 
Father  is  greater  than  I. 

Jo?in  XV,  15.  Henceforth  I  call 
you  not  S(n-vants;  for  the  servant 
knoweth  not  what  his  lord  doeth: 
but  I  have  called  you  friends:  for 
all  things  that  I  have  heard  of  my 
Father  i  have  made  known  unto 
you. 

John  xvi,  15.  All  things  that 
the  Father  hath  are  mine:  there- 
fore said  I,  tliat  he  shall  take  of 
mine,  and  shall  shew  it  unto  you. 

Johr  xvil,  4,  7.  I  have  glorified 
thee  on  the  eartli:  I  have  finished 
the  work  whicli  thou  gavest  me  to 
do.  Now  they  have  known  that 
all  things,  whatsoever  thou  hast 
given  me,  are  of  thee. 

Acts  X,  88.  How  God  anointed 
JesTis  of  Nazareth  with  the  Holy 
Gliost,  and  with  power;  who  went 
about  doing  good,  and  healing  all 
that  were  oppressed  of  the  devil; 
for  God  was  with  him. 

1  (7or.  xi,  3.  But  I  would  have 
you  know,  that  the  head  of  every 
man  is  Christ;  and  the  head  of  the 
woman  is  the  man;  and  the  head 
of  Christ  is  God. 

(Jol.  i,  19.  For  it  pleased  the 
Father  that  in  him  should  all  ful- 
ness dwell. 

CHRIST  AS  JUDGE. 

Matth.  xvi.  27.  For  the  Son  of 
man  shall  come  in  the  glory  of  his 
Father,  with  his  angels;  and  then 
he  shall  reward  every  man  accord- 
ing to  his  works. 

Matth.  xxiv,  30.  And  then  shall 
appear  the  sign  of  tlie  Son  of  man 
in  heaven:  and  then  shall  all  the 
tribes  of  the  earth  mourn,  and 
they  shall  see  the  Son  of  man 
coming  in  the  clouds  of  heaven 
with  power  and  great  glory. 

MarkxW,  26.  And  then  shall 
they  see  the  Son  of  man  coming  in 
the  clouds  with  great  power  and 
glory. 


John  T,  22.  For  the  Fathe? 
judgeth  no  man,  but  hath  com- 
mitted all  judgment  unto  tho 
Son. 

Acts  X,  42.  And  he  commanded 
us  to  preach  unto  the  people,  and 
to  testify  that  it  is  he  which  was 
ordained  of  God  to  be  the  Judge 
of  quick  and  dead. 

Lorn.  11, 16.  In  the  day  when 
God  shall  judge  the  secrets  of  ni'n 
by  Jesus  Christ  according  to  my 
gospel. 

Bom.  xlv,  10.  But  why  dost  thou 
judge  thy  brother?  or  why  dost 
thou  set  at  nought  thy  brothei? 
for  we  sliall  all  stand  before  the 
judgment  seat  of  Christ. 

2  Cor.  v,  10.  For  we  must  all 
appear  before  the  judgnient  seat 
of  Christ;  that  every  one  may  re- 
ceive the  things  done  in  his  boily, 
according  to  that  he  hath  done, 
whether  it  be  good  or  bad. 

2    Tim.    iv,  1.    I    charge    thee 

therelore  before  God,an(l  tlie  Lord 

Jesus  Christ,  who  shall  judge  tlie 

'  quick  and  the  dead  at  his  appear- 

1  lug  and  his  kingdom. 

Ileb.  X,  37.  For  yet  a  little  while, 
I  and  he  tliat  shall  come  will  come, 
i  and  will  not  tarry. 

I  Bev.  1,7.  Behold,  he  cometh  with 
clouds;  and  every  eye  shall  see 
him,  and  they  also  wnich  pierced 
him:  and  all  kindreds  of  the  earth 
shall  wail  because  of  him. 

i?ey.xxii,  7,  12,  20.  Behold,  I 
come  quickly;  blessed  is  he  that 
keepeth  the  sayings  of  the  pro- 
phecy of  this  book.  And,  behold, 
I  come  quickly;  and  my  reward  is 
with  me,  to  give  every  man  ac- 
cording as  his  work  shall  be.  He 
which  testitieth  these  things 
saith.  Surely  I  come  quickly: 
Amen,  Even  so,  come,  Lord 
Jesus. 

LuJce  xii,  40.  Be  ye  therefore 
ready  also:  for  the  Son  of  man 
Cometh  at  an  hour  wlven  ye  think 
not. 

1  Cor.  1, 7.  So  that  ye  come  be- 
hind in  no  gift;  waiting  for  the 
coming  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

Fhil.  Hi,  20.  For  our  conversa- 
tion is  in  heaven;  from  whence 
also  we  look  for  the  Saviour,  the 
Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

(Jol.  ill,  3,  4.  For  ye  are  dead, 
and  your  life  is  hid  with  Christ  in 
God.  When  Christ,  who  is  our 
life,  shall  appear,  then  shall  ye 
also  appear  with  him  in  glory. 

I      1  Thess.  i,  10.    And  to  wait  for 
'  his  Son  from  heaven,  whom  he 

raised  from  the  dead,  even  Jesus, 

which  delivered  us  from  the  wrath

blessed   hope,  and  the   glorious

appearing  of  the  great  God,  and 
*>ur  Saviour  Jesus  Christ. 

Heb.  Ix,  28.  So  Clirist  was  once 
offered  to  bear  the  sins  of  many: 
and  unto  them  that  look  for  him 
shall  he  appear  the  second  time, 
without  sin,  unto  salvation. 

Sev.  ill,  11.  Behold,  I  come 
quickly:  hold  that  last  which  tbou 
Last,  that  no  man  take  thy  crown. 

Appearance  of  the  Glorified 

Saviour  in  the  Revelation. 

Rev.  i,  13-15.  And  in  the  midst 
of  the  seven  candlesticks  one  like 
unto  the  Son  ot  man,  clothed  with 
a  garment  down  to  the  foot,  and 
girt  about  the  paps  with  a  golden 
girdle.  His  head  and  his  hairs 
were  white  like  wool,  as  wliite  as 
snow;  and  his  eyes  ivere  as  a  flame 
of  fire;  And  his  feet  like  unto 
fine  brass,  as  if  they  burned  in  a 
furnace;  and  his  voice  as  the 
sound  of  many  waters. 

Bev.  xiv,  14.  And  1  looked,  and 
behold  a  white  cloud,  and  upon 
the  cloud  one  sat  like  unto  the 
Son  ot  man,  having  on  his  head  a 
golden  crown,  and  in  Lis  hand  a 
sharp  8i';kle, 

Bcv.  xix,  11-14.  And  I  saw 
heaven  opened,  and  behold  a 
while  horse;  and  he  that  sat  upon 
him  was  called  Faithful  and  True; 
and  in  rigliteousness  he  doth  judge 
oud  make  war.    His  eyes  wo^a  aa 


I  a  flame  of  fire,  and  on  his  head 
were  many  crowns;  and  he  had  a 
name  written,  tliat  no  man  knew 
but  he  himself.  And  he  v:a8 
clothed  with  a  vesture  dipped  in 
blood:  and  his  name  is  called  The 
Word  of  God.  And  the  armies 
which  were  in  heaven  followed 
him  upon  white  horses,  clothed  in 
fine  linen,  white  and  clean. 

THE  WICKED  ONE,  AND 
ANTI-CimiST. 

2  Thess.  ii,  1--12.  Now  we  be- 
seech you,  brethren,  by  the  coming 
of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  and  by 
onr  gathering  togetlier  unto  him, 
That  ye  be  not  soon  shaken  in 
mind,  or  be  troubled,  neither  by 
spirit,  nor  by  word,  nor  by  letter 
as  from  us,  as  that  the  day  of 
Cliriat  is  at  hand.  Let  no  man 
deceive  yon  by  any  means:  for 
that  day  shall  not  come,  except 
there  curae  a  falling  away  fiist, 
and  that  man  ot  sin  be  revealed, 
the  son  of  perdition;  Who  oppos- 
eth  and  exalteth  himself  above 
all  that  is  called  God,  or  that  is 
worshipped;  so  that  he,  as  God, 
sittethin  the  temple  of  God,  shew- 
ing himself  that  he  is  God.  Re- 
member ye  not,  that,  when  I  was 
yet  with  you,  I  told  you  these 
things?  And  now  ye  know  what 
withholdeth  that  he  ndght  be  re- 
vealed in  his  time.  Fur  the  mys- 
tery of  iniquity  doth  already  work: 
813 


only  he  who  now  letteth  nlll  let, 
until  he  be  taken  out  of  tlie  way. 
And  then  shall  that  Wicked  be 
revealed,  whom  the  Lord  shall 
consume  with  the  spirit  of  his 
month,  and  shall  destroy  with  the 
brightness  of  his  coming:  Uicn 
him,  whose  coming  is  after  the 
working  of  Satan,  with  all  power, 
and  signs,  and  lying  wonders. 
And  with  all  decoivableness  ot 
unrighteousness  in  them  that 
perish;  because  they  received  not 
the  love  of  the  truth,  that  they 
might  be  saved.  And  for  this 
cause  God  shall  send  tliem  strong 
delusion,  that  they  should  believe 
a  lie;  That  they  all  might  be 
damned  Avho  believed  not  the 
truth  but  had  pleasure  in  unright- 
eousness, 

1  John  ii,  22.  Who  Is  a  liar,  but 
he  that  denieth  that  Jesus  is  the 
Cln-ist?  He  is  antichrist,  that 
denieth  the  Father  and  tlie  Son. 

1  Jolin  iv,  8.  And  every  spirit 
that  confesseth  not  that  Jesus 
Christ  is  come  in  the  tlesh  is  not 
of  God:  and  this  is  that  spirit  of 
antichrist,  whereof  ye  have  heard 
that  it  should  come;  and  even  now 
already  is  it  in  the  world. 

2  John  7.  For  many  deceivers 
are  entered  into  the  vvorUI,  who 
confess  not  that  Jesus  Christ  is 
come  in  the  flesh.  Tliis  is  a  de- 
ceiver and  an  auticlirist. 


JEWS, 


THE  JEWISH  NATION 
ITS   ORIGIN   AND    PURPOSE. 

Gen.  xil,  1-3.  Now  the  Lord 
had  said  unto  Abram,  Get  thee 
out  of  thy  country,  and  from  thy 
kindred,  and  from  thy  father's 
house,  unto  a  land  that  I  will 
shew  thee:  And  I  will  make  of 
thee  a  great  nation,  and  I  will 
bless  thee,  and  make  thy  name 
great;  and  thou  shalt  be  a  blessing: 
And  1  will  bless  them  that  bless 
thee,  and  curse  him  that  curseth 
thee:  and  in  thee  shall  all  families 
of  the  earth  be  blessed. 

Exod.  vi,  7.  And  I  will  take  yon 
to  me  for  a  people,  and  I  will  be 
to  you  a  God;  and  ye  shall  know

Deut.  vii,  6,  7.  For  thou  art  an

God:  the  Lord  thy  God  hath 
chosen  thee  to  be  a  special  people 
unto  himself,  above  all  people 
that  are  upon  the  face  of  the 
earth.  The  Lord  did  not  set  his 
love  upon  you,  nor  choose  you, 
because  ye  were  more  in  number 
than  any  people;  (for  ye  were  the 
fewest  of  aH  people.) 

Deut.  X,  15.  Only  the  Lord  had

ments, and  to  hearken  imto  his 
voice:  And  the  Lord  hath  avouch- 
ed thee  this  day  to  be  his  peculiar 
people,  as  he  hath  promised  thee, 
and  that  thou  shouldest  keep  all 
his  commandments;  And  to  make 
thee  high  above  all  nations  which 
be  hatti  made,  in  praise,  and  in

tliou  mayest  be  an  holy  people 
unto  the  Lord  thy  God,  as  he  hath 
spoken. 

Deut.  xxvfil,  9,  10.  The  Lord 
shall  establish  thee  an  holy  people 
unto  himself,  as  he  hath  sworn 
unto  thee,  if  thou  shalt  keep  the 
commandments  of  the  Lord  thy 
God,  and  walk  in  his  ways.  And

afraid  of  thee.

now  wax  pale. 

75a.  xli,  8,  9.  But  thou,  Israel, 
art  my  servant,  Jacob  whom  I 
have  chosen,  the  seed  of  Abraham 
my  friend.  T/iou  whom  I  have 
taken  from  the  ends  of  the  earth,

will  ordain  a  place  for  my  people 
Israel,  and  will  plant  them,  and

neither  shall  the  children  of  wick- 
edness waste  them  any  more,  as 
at  the  beginning,  And  since  the 
time  that  I  commanded  judges  to

whom  I  have  chosen. 

Isa.  Ix,  15,  21.  Whereas  thou 
hast  been  forsaken  and  hated,  so 
that  no  man  went  through  thee,  I 
will-  make  thee  an  eternal  excel-

Thy  people  also  shall  be  all  right-

for  ever,  the  branch  of  my  plant- 
ing, the  work  of  my  hands,  that  I 
may  be  glorified. 

Isa.  Ixvi,  22.  For  as  the  new

seed  of  Israel  for  all  that  they  have 
done,  saith  the  Lord, 

Jer.  xxxiii,  17,  18,  26,26.  For 
thus  saitli  tlie  Lord,  David  shall 
never  want  a  man  to  sit  upon  the 
throne  of  the  house  of  Israel: 
Neither  shall  the  priests  the  Le- 
vites  want  a  man  before  me  to 
offer  burnt-offerings,  and  to  kin- 
dle meat  -  offerings,  and  to  do 
sacrifice  continually.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  If  ray  covenant  be  not 
with  day  and  night,  and  ifl  have 
not  appointed  the  ordinances  of 
heaven  and  earth.  Then  will  I 
cast  away  the  seed  of  Jacob,  and 
David  my  servant,  so  that  I  will 
not  take  any  of  his  seed  to  be 
rulers  over  the  seed  of  Abraham, 
Isaac,  and  Jacob:  for  I  will  cause 
their  captivity  to  return,  and  have 
mercy  on  them.

John  viii,  39.  They  answered 
and  said  unto  him,  Abraham  is 
our  father.  Jesus  saith  unto  them. 
If  ye  were  Abraham's  children,  ye 
would  do  the  works  of  Abraham. 

Bom.  if,  17-19.  Behold,  thou  art 
called  a  Jew,  and  restest  in  the 
law,  and  makest  thy  boast  of  God, 
And  knowest  his  will,  and  ap- 
provest  the  things  that  are  more 
excellent,  being  instructed  out  of 
the  law;  And  art  confident  that 
thou  thyself  art  a  guide  of  the 


blind,  a  light  of  them  which  are 
in  darkness. 

Bom.  iii,  1,  2.  What  advantage 
then  hath  the  Jew?  or  what  pro- 
fit is  there  of  circumcision?  Much 
every  way:  chiefly,  because  that 
unto  them  were  committed  the 
oracles  of  God. 

2  Cor.  xi,  22.  Are  they  Hebrews? 
so  am  I.  Are  they  Israelites?  so

Phil,  iii,  4,  5.  Though  I  might

II.— ISRAEL  IN  EGYPT. 

Gen.  xlvi,  2-7.  And  God  spake 
unto  Israel  in  the  visions  of  the 
night,  and  said,  Jacob,  Jacob.  And 
he  said,  Here  am  I.  And  he  said, 
I  am  God,  the  God  of  thy  father: 
fear  not  to  go  down  into  ligypt; 
for  I  will  there  make  of  thee  a 
great  nation.  I  will  go  down  with 
tliee  into  Egypt;  and  I  will  also 
surely  bring  thee  up  again:  and 
Joseph  shall  put  his  hand  upon 
thine  eyes.  And  Jacob  rose  up 
from  Beer-sheba:  and  tlie  sons  of 
Israel  carried  Jacob  tlieir  father, 
and  their  little  ones,  and  their 
wives,  in  the  waggons  which 
Pharaoh  had  sent  to  carry  him. 
And  they  took  their  cattle,  and 
their  goods,  which  they  had  got- 
ten in  the  land  of  Canaan^  and 
came  into  Egypt,  Jacob,  and  all 
his  seed  with  him:  His  sons,  and 
his  sons'  sons  with  him,  his  daugh- 
ters, and  his  sons'  daughters,  and 
all  his  seed,  brought  he  with  him 
into  Egypt. 

Sxod.  i,  1-5.  Now  these  are  the 
names  of  the  children  of  Israel 
which  came  into  Egypt;  every 
man  and  his  household  came  with 
Jacob.  Reuben,  Simeon,  Levi,  and 
Judah,  Isaachar,  Zebulun,  and 
Benjamin,  Dan  and  Naphtali,  Gad 
and  Asher.  And  all  the  souls  that 
came  out  of  the  loins  of  Jacob 
were  seventy  souls:  for  Joseph 
was  in  Egypt  already. 


Joshua  xxiv,  4.  And  I  gave  unto 
Isaac  Jacob  and  Esau;  and  I  gave 
unto  Esau  mount  Seir,  to  possess 
it;  but  Jacob  and  his  children 
went  down  into  Egypt. 

Acts  vii,  6,  14,  15.  And  God 
spake  on  this  wise.  That  liis  seed 
should  sojourn  in  a  strange  land; 
and  that  they  should  bring  them 
into  bondage,  and  entreat  them 
evil  four  hundred  years.  Then 
sent  Joseph,  and  called  his  father 
Jacob  to  him,  and  all  his  kindred, 
threescore  and  fifteen  souls  So

Jacob  went  down  into  Egypt,  and 
died,  he,  and  our  fathers. 

Sufferings  in  Egypt. 
Exod.  i,  8-11,  13,  14.  Now  there 
arose  up  a  new  king  over  Egypt, 
which  knew  not  Joseph.  And  he 
said  unto  his  people.  Behold,  the 
people  of  the  children  of  Israel 
are  more  and  mightier  than  we. 
Come  on,  let  us  deal  wisely  with 
them,  lest  they  multiply,  and  it 
come  to  pass,  that,  when  there 
falleth  out  any  Avar,  they  join  also 
unto  our  enemies,  and  fight 
against  us,  and  so  get  them  up  out 
of  the  land.  Therefore  they  did 
set  over  them  taskmasters  to  af- 
flict them  with  their  burdens. 
And  they  built  for  Pharaoh  trea- 
sure cities.  Pit  hom  and  Raamses. 
And  the  Egyptians  made  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  to  serve  with 
rigour:  And  they  made  their  lives 
bitter  with  hard  bondage,  in  mor- 
tar, and  in  brick,  and  in  all  man- 
ner of  service  in  the  field:  all  their 
service,  wherein  they  made  them 
serve  was  with  rigour. 

Exod.  ii,  23.  And  it  came  to  pass 
in  process  of  time,  that  the  king  of 
Egypt  died:  and  the  cliildren  of 
Israel  sighed  by  reason  of  the 
bondage,  and  they  cried;  and  their 
cry  came  up  unto  God  by  reason 
of  the  bondage. 

Exod.  ill,  16, 17.  Go,  and  gather 
the  elders  of  Israel  together,  and 
say  unto  them.  The  Lord  God  of 
your  fathers,  the  God  of  Abraham, 
of  Isaac,  and  of  Jacob,  appeared 
unto  me,  saying,  I  have  surely 
visited  you,  and  seen  that  which  is 
done  to  you  in  Egjpt:  And  I  have 
said,  I  will  bring  yon  up  out  of 
the  aflliction  of  Egypt  unto  the 
land  of  the  Canaanites,  and  the 
Hittites,  and  the  Amorites,  and 
the  Perizzites,  and  the  Hivites, 
and  the  Jebusites,  unto  a  land 
flowing  with  milk  and  honey. 

Exod.  vi,  1,  5,  6,  9.    Then  the 
Lord  said  unto  Moses,  Now  shalt 
thou  see  what  I  will  do  to  Pha- 
raoh: for  with  a  strong  hand  shall 
he  let  them  go,  and  with  a  strong 
I  hand  shall  he  drive  them  out  of 
1  his  land.    And  I  have  also  heard 
I  the  groaning  of  the  children  of 
Israel,  whom  the  Egyptians  keep 
I  in  bondage;  and  I  have  remem- 
bered my  covenant.    Wherefore 
say  unto  the  children  of  Israel,  I 
am  the  Lord,  and  I  will  bring  you 
out  from  under  the  burdens  of  the 
1  Egyptians,  and  I  will  rid  you  out 
I  of  their  bondage;  and  I  will  re- 
j  deem    you  with   a  stretched-out 
1  arm,  and  with  great  judgments. 
I  And  Moses  spake  so  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel:  but  they  hearkened 
not  unto  Moses    for  anguish   of 
j  spirit,  and  for  cruel  bondage. 

I      Exod.  xi,  1.  And  the  Lord  said 
'  unto  Moses,  Yet  will  I  bring  one 


pTaprne  more,  upon  Phnraoh,  and 
upon  Euypt;  afterwards  he  will 
let  yon  go  hence:  when  he  shall 
let  y<  u  go,  he  shall  surely  thrust 
you  out  hence  altogether. 

Deut.  iv,  20.  But  the  Lobd  hath 
taken  you,  and  brought  you  forth 
out  of  the  iron  furnace,  even  out 
of  Egj'pt,  to  be  unto  him  a  people 
of  inheritance,  as  ye  are  this  day. 

Deut.  V,  6.  I  am  the  Lono  thy 
God,  wliich  brought  thee  out  of 
the  land  of  Egypt,  from  the  house 
of  bondage. 

Deut.  xxvl,  6,  7.  And  the  Egyp- 
tians evil  entreated  us,  and  afflic- 
ted us,  and  laid  upon  us  hard  bon- 
dnge:  And  when  we  cried  unto 
the  Lord  God  of  our  fathers,  the 
LoRo  heard  our  voice,  and  looked 
on  our  affliction,  and  our  labour, 
and  our  oppression. 


1  Kings  vili,  51.  For  they  he  thy 
people,  and  thine  inheritance, 
whicli  thou  broughtest  forth  out 
of  Egypt,  from  the  midst  of  the 
furnace  of  iron. 

Isa.  lii,  4.  For  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God,  My  people  went  down 
aforetime  into  Egypt  to  sojourn 
there;  and  the  Assyrian  oppressed 
them  without  cause. 

Acts  vii,  7,  18,  19,  34.  And  the 
nation  to  whom  they  shall  be  in 
bondage  will  I  judge,  said  God: 
and  after  that  sliall  they  come 
forth,  and  serve  me  in  tills  place. 
Till  another  king  arose,  wiiich 
knew  not  Joseph:  The  same  dealt 
Bubtilely  with  our  kindred,  and 
evil-entreated  our  fathers,  so  that 
they  cast  out  their  young  chil- 
dren, to  the  end  they  miglit  not 
live.  I  have  seen,  I  have  seen  the 
affliction  of  my  people  which  is  in 
Egypt,  and  I  have  heard  their 
groaning,  and  am  come  down  to 
deliver  tlie.m.  And  now  come,  I 
will  send  thee  into  Egypt. 

COMMISSION  OF  MOSES. 

Exod.  lii,  10-12,  18.  Come  now 
therefore,  and  I  will  send  thee 
unto  Pharaoh,  that  thou  mayest 
bring  fortli  my  people,  the  cliil- 
dren  of  Israel,  out  of  Ksrypt.  And 
Moses  said  unto  God,  Who  am  I, 
that  I  should  go  unto  Pharaoli, 
and  that  I  should  bring  forth  tlie 
children  of  Israel  out  t)f  Egypt? 
And  he  said,  Certainly  I  will  be 
with  thee;  and  this  shall  be  a 
token  unto  thee  that  I  have  sent 
thee;  When  thou  hast  brought 
forth  the  people  out  of  Egypt,  ye 
shall  serve  God  upon  this  moun- 
tain. And  they  shall  hearken  to 
thy  Toice:  and  thou  shalt  come, 
thou  and  the  elders  of  Israel,  unto 
the  king  of  Egypt,  and  ye  shall 
say  unto  him.  Tlie  Lord  God  of

wilderness,  that  we  may  sacriflce 
to  the  Lord  our  God. 

Exod.  vi.  11-13,  26-30.  Go  In, 
speak  unto  Pharaoh  king  of 
Earypt,  that  he  let  tlie  children  of 
Israel  go  out  of  his  land.  And 
Moses  spake  before  the  Lord, 
saying.  Behold,  the  children  of 
Israel  have  not  hearkened  unto 
me;  how  then  shall  Pharaoh  hear 
me,  who  am  of  uncircnmcised 
lips?  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Moses  and  unto  Aaron,  and  gave 
them  a  charge  unto  the  children 
of  Israel,  and  unto  Pharaoh  king 
of  Egypt,  to  bring  the  children  of 
Israel  out  of  the  land  of  Egypt. 
These  are  that  Aaron  and  Moses, 
to  whom  the  Lord  said.  Bring  out 
the  children  of  Israel  from  the 
land  of  Egvpt,  according  to  their 
armies.  These  are  they  wliicli 
spake  to  Pharaoh  king  of  Egypt, 
to  bring  out  the  children  of  Is- 
rael from  Egypt:  these  are  that 
Moses  and  Aarou.  And  it  came 
to  pass,  on  the  day  when  the 
Lord  spake  unto  Moses  in  tlie 
land  of  Egypt,  That  the  Lord 
spake  unto  Moses,  saying.  I  am 
the  Lor  ■:  speak  thou  unto  Plia- 
raoh  king  of  Egj  pt  all  that  I  say 
unto  thee.  And  Moses  said  be- 
fore the  Lord,  Behold,  1  am  of 
uncircumcised  lips,  and  how  shall 
Pharaoh  hearken  unto  me? 

Exod.  vii,  2,  7, 14,  15.  Thou  shalt 
speak  all  that  I  command  thee; 
and  Aaron  thy  brother  shall 
speak  unto  Pharaoh,  that  he  send 
the  children  of  Israel  out  of  his 
land.  And  Moses  was  fourscore 
years  old,  and  Aaron  fourscore 
and  three  years  ohi,  when  they 
spake  unto  Pharaoh.  And  the 
Lord  said  unto  Moses,  Pharaoh's 
heart  is  hardened,  he  refuseth  to 
let  the  people  go.  Get  thee  unto 
Pliaraoh  in  the  morning;  lo,  he 
goeth  out  unto  the  water;  and 
thou  Shalt  stand  by  the  river's 
brink  against  he  come;  and  the 
rod  which  was  turned  to  a  ser- 
pent Shalt  thou  take  in  thine 
hand. 

His  Execution  of  It. 

Exod.  iv,  22,  23.  And  thou  shalt 
say  unto  Pharaoh,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Israel  is  my  son,  even  my 
liist-born:  And  I  say  unto  thee. 
Let  my  son  go,  that  he  may  serve 
me:  and  if  thou  n^fuse  to  let  him 
go,  behold,  1  will  slay  thy  sou, 
even  thy  first-born. 

Exod.  V,  1-5,  20,  22,  23.  And 
afterward  Moses  and  Aaron  went 
in,  and  told  Pharaoh,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God  of  Israel,  Let  my 
people  go,  that  they  may  hold  a 
feast  unto  me  In  the  wilderness. 
And  Pliaraoh  said.  Who  is  the 
Lord,  that  I  should  obey  his  vdIoo 
to  let  Israel  go?  I  know  not  the 
Lord,  neitlier  will  1  let  Israel  go. 
And  they  said.  The  God  of  the 
316 


Hebrews  hath  met  with  lis:  let  ns 
go,  we  pray  thee,  three  days' 
journey  into  the  desert,  and  sacri- 
fice unto  the  Lord  our  God;  lest 
he  fall  upon  us  with  pestihmce,  or 
with  the  sword.  And  tlie  king  of 
Egypt  said  unto  them,  Wherefore 
do  ye,  Moses  and  Aaron,  let  the 
people  from  their  works?  cet  you 
unto  your  burdens.  And  Pliaraoh 
said.  Behold,  the  people  of  the 
land  now  are  many,  ami  ye  make 
them  rest  from  their  burdens. 
And  they  met  Moses  and  Aaron, 
who  stood  in  the  way,  as  they 
came  forth  fnym  Pharaoh:  And 
Mo.ses  retiu-ned  unto  tho  Lord, 
and  said.  Lord,  wherefore  hast 
thou  so  evil-entreated  this  peo- 
ple? why  is  it  that  thou  hast  sent 
me?  For  since  I  came  to  Pharaoh 
to  speak  in  thy  name,  he  hath 
done  evil  to  this  people;  neither 
hast  thou  delivered  thy  people  at 
all. 

Exod.  vii,  16.  And  thou  shalt 
say  unto  him.  The  Lord  God  of 
the  Hebrews  hath  sent  me  unto 
thee,  saying,  Let  my  people  go, 
that  they  may  serve  me  In  the 
wilderness;  and,  behold,  hitherto 
thou  wouldest  not  hear. 

Exod.  viii,  1,  20,  25  29.  And  the 
Lord  spake'Unto  Moses,  Go  unto 
Pharaoh,  and  say  unto  him,  Tlius 
saith  the  Lord,  Let  my  people  go," 
that  they  may  serve  me.  And  the 
Lord  said  unto  Moses,  Kise  up 
early  in  the  morning,  and  stand  he- 
fore  Pharaoh,  (lo,  he  cometh  forth 
to  the  water,)  and  say  unto  him. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Let  my  peo- 
ple go,  that  they  may  serve  me. 
And  Pharaoh  called  for  Moses  and 
for  Aaron,  and  said.  Go  ye,  sacri- 
flce to  your  God  in  the  land.  And 
Moses  said,  It  is  not  meet  so  to  do; 
for  we  shall  sacriflce  the  abomina- 
tion of  the  Egyptians  to  the  Lord 
out  God:  lo,  shall  we  sacriflce  the 
abominationof  the  Egyptian  before 
their  eyes,  and  will  they  not  stone 
us?  We  will  go  three  days' journey 
into  the  wilderness,  and  sacriflce 
to  the  Lord  our  God,  as  he  shall 
command  us.  And  Pharaoh  said, 
I  will  let  you  go,  that  ye  may 
sacrifice  to  the  Lord  your  God  in 
the  wilderness;  only  ye  shall  not 
go  very  far  away:  entreat  for  mo. 
And  Moses  said.  Behold,  l  go  out 
from  thee,  and  I  will  entreat  the 
Lord  that  the  swarms  of  flics  may 
depart  from  Pharaoh,  Irom  his 
servants,  and  from  his  people,  to- 
morrow: but  let  not  Pharaoh  deal 
deceitfuHy  any  more,  in  not  letting 
the  people  go  to  sacriflce  to  the 
Lord. 

Exod.  Ix,  1, 13, 15, 17.  Then  the 
Lord  said  unto  Moses,  Go  in  ui to 
Pliaraoh,  and  tell  him,  TJius  saith 
the  Lord  God  of  the  Hebrews, 
Let  my  people  go,  that  they  miy 
serve  me.  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  Moses,  lUse  up  early  in  the 


JEWS. 


morning',  arifl  stand  before  Plia- 
raoh,  and  say  unto  him,  Thus 
8xi:  h  the  I.oBD  God  of  tlie  Hebrews, 
Let  my  people  go,  tiiat  they  may 
serve  me.  For  now  I  will  stretch 
out  my  hand,  that  I  may  smite 
thee  and  thy  people  with  pestil- 
ence; and  tliuu  Shalt  be  cut  olf 
from  the  earth.  As  yet  exaltest 
tliou  thyself  against  my  people, 
tliat  thou  wilt  not  let  them  go? 

Exod.  X.  7-11.  24-26,  28,  29.  And 
rharaoh's  servants  said  unto  him, 
How  1  ng  shall  this  man  be  a 
snare  unto  us?  Let  the  men  go, 
that  tliey  may  serve  the  Lord 
their  (iod:  knowest  thou  not  yet 
tliat  Egypt  is  destroyed?  And 
Moses  and  Aaron  were  brougiit 
again  unto  Pharaoh:  and  he  said 
unto  Ihem,  Go,  serve  the  Loko 
your  God:  but  who  are  they  tliat 
shall  go?  And  Moses  said,  We 
Mill  go  with  our  young  and  with 
our  old,  with  our  sons  and  witli 
our  daughters,  with  our  flocks 
and  with  our  herds  will  we  go:  for 
we  muat  hold  a  feast  unto  the 
Lord.  And  he  said  unto  them, 
Let  the  Lord  be  so  with  you,  as  I 
■will  let  you  go,  and  your  little 
ones:  look  to  it;  for  evil  is  before 
you.  Not  so:  go  now  ye  that  are 
men,  and  serve  the  Lord;  for  that 
ye  did  desire.  And  they  were 
driven  out  from  Pharaoh's  pres- 
ence. And  Pharaoh  called  unto 
Moses,  and  said,  Go  ye.  serve  the 
Lord;  only  let  your  flocks  and 
your  herds  bo  stayed:  let  your 
little  ones  also  go  with  you.  And 
Moses  said,  Thou  must  rjive  us 
also  sacrifices  and  burnt-olferings, 
that  we  may  sacrilice  unto  the 
Lord  our  God.  Our  cattle  also 
Bliall  go  with  us;  there  shall  not 
an  hoof  be  left  behind:  for  thereof 
must  we  take  to  serve  the  Lord  our 
God;  and  we  know  not  with  what 
we  nmst  serve  the  Lord  until  we 
cone  thither.  And  Pharaoh  said 
unto  him,  Get  thee  from  me,  take 
heed  to  thyself,  see  my  face  no 
more:  for  in  that  day  tiiou  seest 
my  face  thou  shalt  die.  And 
Moses  said,  Thou  hast  spoken 
well;  I  will  see  thy  face  again  no 
more. 

Exod.  x\,  8.  And  all  these  thy 
servants  shall  come  down  unto 
me,  and  bow  down  themselves 
unto  me.  saying.  Get  thee  out,  and 
all  the  people  that  follow  thee: 
and  after  that  I  will  go  out.  And 
he  went  out  from  Pharaoh  iu  a 
great  anger. 

i'xod.  xil,  31-33.  And  he  called 
for  Moses  and  Aaron  by  night, 
and  said.  Rise  up,  and  get  you 
forth  from  an)ong  my  people,  both 
ye  and  the  children  of  Israel;  and 
go,  serve  the  Lord,  as  ye  have 
Bald.  Also  take  your  flocks  and 
your  herds,  as  ye  have  said,  and 
be  gone;  and  bless  me  also.  And 
the  Egyptians  w»;re  urgent  upoa 


the  people,  that  they  mfght  scnrT 
tliem  out  of  the  land  in  haste;  for 
they  said.  We  be  all  dead  men. 

1  Sam.  xfi,  6.  And  Samuel  said 
unto  ttie  people.  It  is  the  Lord 
that  advanced  Moses  and  Aaron, 
and  that  brought  your  fathers  up 
out  of  the  land  of  Egypt. 

Ps.  cv,  26.  He  sent  Moses  his

servants;  and  I  sent  before  thee 
Moses,  Aaron,  and  Miriam.

our  God  hath  commanded  you? 
Then  thou  shalt  say  unto  thy  son.

Egypt,  and  the  Lord  brought  us

of  the  angel  which  appeared  to

I  caused  them  to  go  forth  out  of 
the  land  of  Egypt,  aiid  brought 
them  into  the  wiiderness. 

Pursued  by  the  Egyptians. 

Exod.  xiv,  5-7,  10,  22,  23,  26-31. 
And  it  was  told  the  king  ot  Egypt 
that  the  1  e  jple  fled:  and  the  heart 
of  Pharaoli  and  of  his  servants 
was  turned  against  the  people,  and 
they  said,  Wliy  have  wo  duno 
this,  that  we  have  let  Israel  go 
from  serving  us?  And  he  made 
ready  his  chariot,  and  took  his 
people  with  him.  And  he  took 
six  hundred  chosen  chariots,  and 
all  the  chariots  of  Egypt,  and  cap- 
tains over  every  one  of  them.  And 
when  Pharaoh  drew  nigh,  the 
children  of  Israel  lifted  up  their 
eyes,  and,  behold,  the  Egyptians 
marched  after  them;  and  they  were 
sore  afraid:  and  the  children  ot 
Israel  cried  out  unto  the  Lord. 
And  tlie  children  of  Israel  went 
Into  the  miust  of  the  sua  upon  the 


dry  ground:  and  the  waters  were 
a  wall  unto  them  on  their  riglit 
hand,  and  on  their  left.  And  the 
Egyptians  pursued,  and  went  in 
after  them  to  the  midst  of  the  sea, 
even  all  Pharaoh's  horses,  his  cha- 
riots, and  his  horsemen.  And  the 
Lord  said  unto  Moses,  Stretch  out 
thine  hand  over  the  sea,  that  the 
waters  may  come  again  upon  the 
Egyptians,  upon  their  chariots, 
and  upon  their  horsemen.  And 
Moses  stretched  forth  his  hand 
over  the  sea,  and  the  sea  returned 
to  his  strength  when  the  morning 
appeared;  and  the  Egyptians  fled 
againstit:and  the  Lord  overthrew 
the  Egyptians  in  the  midst  of  the 
sea.  And  the  waters  returned,  and 
covered  the  chariots,  and  the 
horszm.eT\,and  all  the  host  of  Pha- 
raoh that  came  into  the  sea  alter 
them:  there  remained  not  so  mucla 
as  one'  of  them.  But  the  children 
ot  Israel  walked  upon  dry  land  in 
the  midst  of  the  sea;  and  the 
waters  were  a  wall  unto  them  on 
their  right  hand,  and  on  their  left. 
Thus  the  Lord  saved  Israel  that 
day  out  of  the  hand  of  the  Egyp- 
tians: and  Israel  saw  the  Egyp- 
tians dead  upon  tho  sea-sljore. 
And  Israel  saw  that  great  work 
which  the  Lord  did  upon  the 
Egyijtians;  and  the  people  feared 
the  Lord,  and  believed  the  Lofio, 
and  his  servant  Moses. 

Subsequent  Relation  of  thb 
Jews  to  Egypt. 

Fo(;od.  xiv,  11, 12.  And  they  said 
unto  Moses,  Because  there  v;ere 
no  graves  in  Egypt,  hast  thou 
taken  us  away  to  die  in  the  wil- 
derness? wherefore  hast  thou  dealt 
thus  with  us,  to  carry  us  forth  out 
of  Egypt?  Is  not  this  the  word 
that  we  did  tell  thee  in  Egypt, 
saying,  Let  us  alone,  that  we  may 
serve  the  Egyptians?  for  it  had 
been  better  for  us  to  serve  the 
Egyptians,  than  that  we  should 
die  in  the  wilderness. 

Num.  xiv,  4.  And  they  said  one 
to  another.  Let  us  make  a  captain, 
and  let  us  return  into  Egypt.

multiply  horses  to  himself,  nor 
cause  the  people  to  return  to

multiply  horses:  forasmuch  as  the 
Lord  hath  said  unto  you,  Ye  shall 
henceforth  return  no  more  that 
way. 


2  Kings  XXV,  26.   And  all  the 

people,  both  small  and  great,  and 
the  captains  of  the  armies,  arose, 
and  came  to  Egypt;  for  they  were 
afraid  of  the  Chaldees. 

Isa.  XXX  vl,  5, 6. 1  say,  say  est  thou, 
(but  they  are  t%it  Vidn  words,)  I

thou  trustpst  In  the  staff  of  this 
broken  reed,  on  Egypt;  whereoa  it 
a  man  lean,  it  will  go  into  his  hand, 
and  pierce  it:  so  is  Pharaoh  king 
of  Egypt  to  all  that  trust  in  him. 

Jer.  11,36.  Why  gaddest  thou 
about  so  much  to  change  tliy

Asayria. 

Jer.  xlii,  8-11. 13-19,  Then  called 
he  Johanan  the  son  of  Kareah, 
and  all  the  captains  of  the  forces 
which  were  with  him,  and  all  the 
people,  from  the  least  even  to  the 
greatest.  And  said  unto  them, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of 
Israel,  unto  whom  ye  sent  mo  to 
present  your  supplication  before 
him;  If  ye  will  still  abide  in  this 
land,  then  will  I  build  you,  and 
not  pull  you  down;  and  I  will 
plant  you,  and  not  pluck  you  up: 
for  I  repent  me  of  the  evil  that  I 
have  done  unto  you.  Be  not  afi  aid 
of  the  king  of  Babylon,  of  whom 
ye  are  afraid;  be  not  afraid  of  him, 
saith  the  Lord:  for  I  am  with  you 
to  isave  you,  and  to  deliver  you 
from  his  hand.  But  if  ye  say.  We 
will  not  dwell  in  this  land,  neither 
obey  the  voice  of  the  Lobd  your 
God,  Saying,  "No;  but  we  will  go 
into  the  laud  of  Egypt,  where  we 
shall  see  no  war,  nor  hear  the 
sound  of  the  trumpet,  nor  have 
hunger  of  bread;  and  there  will 
we  dwell:  And  now  therefore 
hear  the  word  of  the  Lord,  ye 
remnant  of  Judah;  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Israel, 
If  ye  wholly  set  your  faces  to 
enterinto  Egypt,  and  go  to  sojourn 
there;  Then  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
tliat  the  sword,  which  ye  feared, 
shall  overtake  you  there  In  the 
land  of  Egypt:  and  the  famine, 
whereof  ye  were  afraid,  shall  fol- 
low close  alter  you  therein  Egypt; 
and  there  ye  shall  die.  So  shall  it 
be  with  all  the  men  that  set  their 
faces  to  go  into  Egypt,  to  sojourn 
there;  they  shall  die  by  the  sword, 
by  the  In  mine,  and  by  the  pestil- 
ence: and  none  of  them  shall  re- 
main or  escape  from  the  evil  that 
I  will  bring  upon  tliem.  For  thus 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God 
of  Israel,  As  mine  anger  and  my 
fury  hath  been  poured  forth  upon 
the  inhabitants  of  Jerusalem;  so 
shall  my  fury  be  poured  forth  up- 
on you,  when  ye  shall  enter  into 
Egypt:  and  ye  shall  be  an  execra- 
tion, and  an  astonishment,  and  a 
curse,  and  a  reproach;  and  ye  shall 
see  this  place  no  more.  The  Lord 
hath  said  concerning  you,  O  ye 
remnant  of  Judah,  Go  ye  not  into 
Egypt:  know  certainly  that  I  liave 
admonished  you  this  day. 

Jer.  xliii,  5-7.  But  Johanan  the 
son  of  Kareah,  and  all  the  ctiptains 
of  the  forces,  took  all  the  rcjnnant 
of  Judah;  that  were  returned  from 
all  nations  whither  they  had  been 


driven,  to  dwell  In  the  land  of 
Judali,  Even  men,  and  Momen, 
and  children,andthe  king's  daugh- 
ters, and  every  person  that  Ne- 
buzar-adan  the  captain  of  the 
guard  had  left  with  Gedaliah  tho 
son  of  Ahikam,  the  son  of  Sliap- 
han,  and  Jeremiah  the  prophet, 
and  Barueh  the  son  of  Neriali.  So 
they  came  into  the  land  of  Egypt: 
for  they  oheyed  not  the  voice  of 
the  Lonn.  Tims  came  they  even 
to  Tahpunhes. 

Jer.  xllv,  11-14.  Therefore  thus 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God 
of  Israel,  Behold,  I  will  set  my 
face  against  you  for  evil,  and  to 
cut  ofl  all  Judah.  And  I  will  lake 
the  r^pinant  of  Judah,  that  have 
set  their  faces  to  go  into  (he  land 
of  Egypt  to  sojourn  there,  and  they 
Shall  all  be  consumed,  and  fall  in 
the  land  of  Egypt;  they  shall  even 
be  consumed  by  the  sword  and 
by  the  famine:  they  shall  die, 
from  the  least  even  unto  the 
greatest,  by  the  sword  and  by  the 
famine;  and  they  shall  be  an  exe- 
cration, and  an  astonishment,  and 
a  curse,  and  a  reproach.  For  I 
will  punish  them  that  dwell  in  the 
land  of  Egypt,  as  I  have  punished 
Jerusalem,  by  the  sword,  by  the 
famine,  and  by  the  pestilence:  So 
that  none  of  the  remnant  of  Judah. 
•which  are  gone  into  the  land  of 
Egypt  to  sojourn  there,  shall  es- 
cape or  remain,  that  they  should 
return  into  the  land  of  Judah,  to 
I  the  which  they  have  a  desire  to 
'  return  to  dwell  there;  for  none 
shall  return  but  such  as  shall 
escape. 

Ezek.  xxix,  6.  And  all  the  in- 
habitants of  Egypt  shall  know  that 
I  am  the  Lord,  because  they  have 
been  a  stall  of  reed  to  the  house 
of IsrueL 

Hosea  xl,  5, 6.  He  shall  not  re- 
turn into  the  land  of  Egypt,  but 
the  Assyrian  shall  be  his  king,  be- 
cause they  refused  to  return.  And 
the  sword  shall  abide  on  his  cities, 
and  sliall  consume  his  branches, 
and  devour  them,  because  of  their 
own  counsels.

BINS  OP  ISRAEL  IN  THE 
WILDERNESS. 

Num.  xiv,  23-25,  31,  32.  Surely 
they  shall  not  see  the  land  which 
I  sware  unto  tlieir  fathers,  neither 
Bhall  any  of  them  that  provoked 
me  see  it:  But  my  servant  Caleb, 
because  he  had  another  spirit 
with  him,  and  hath  followed  me 
fully,  him  will  I  bring  into  the 
land  whereinto  he  went;  and  his 
seed  shall  possess  it.  (Now  the 
Amalekites  and  the  Canaanites 
dwelt  in  the  valley.)    To-morrow

turn  yoTi,  and  get  yon  Into  the 
wilderness,  by  the  way  of  the  Red 
sea.  But  your  little  ones,  which 
ye  said  should  be  a  prey,  them 
will  I  bring  in,  and  they  shall 
know  the  land  which  ye  have  des- 
pised. But  as  for  you,  your  car- 
cases, they  shall  fall  in  this 
wilderness.

in  the  wilderness  for»y  years,  until 
all  the  generation  that  had  done 
evil  in  tlie  sight  of  the  Loud  was 
consumed.  For  if  ye  turn  away 
from  afler  him,  he  will  yet  again 
leave  them  in  the  wilderness:  and 
ye  shall  destroy  all  this  people. 

Dent.  \,  34-40.  And  the  Lord

Surely  there  shall  not  one  of  these 
men  of  this  evil  generation  see 
that  good  land,  which  I  sware  to 
give  unto  your  fathers.  Save 
Caleb  the  son  of  Jf^phunneh,  he 
shall  see  it;  and  to  him  will  I  give 
the  land  that  he  hath  trodden 
upon,  and  to  his  children,  because 
he  hath  wholly  followed  the  Lord 
Also  the  Lord  was  angry  with  me 
f(jr  your  sakes,  saying.  Thou  also 
Shalt  not  go  in  thither.  But 
Joshua  the  son  of  Nun,  which 
standeth  before  thee,  he  shall  go 
in  thitlier:  encourage  him;  for  he 
shall  cause  Israel  to  intierit  it. 
Moreover,  your  little  ones,  which 
ye  said  should  be  a  prey,  and  your 
children,  which  in  that  day  had 
no  knowledge  between  good  and 
evil,  they  shall  go  in  tliither,  and 
unto  them  will  I  give  it,  and  they 
shall  possess  it.  But  as  for  you, 
turn  you,  and  take  your  journey 
into  the  wilderness,  by  the  way 
of  the  Red  sea.

in  which  we  came  from  Kadesh-

RELATION  OF  TIIE  JEWS 
TO  THE  HEATHEN. 

Exod.  xxiii,  33.  They  shall  not 

I  dwell  in  thy  land,  lest  they  make 

thee  sin    against  me:  for  if  thou 

serve  their  gods,  it  will  surely  be 

a  snare  unto  thee. 

Exod.  xxxiil,  16.  For  wherein 
shall  it  be  known  here  that  I  and 
thy  people  have  foiled  grace  in 
thy  sight?  Is  it  not  m  that  thou 
goest  with  us?  so  shall  we  be  se- 
parated, I  and  thy  people,  from  all 
the  people  that  are  upon  the  face 
of  the  earth. 

Exod.  xxxlv.  It.  Take  heed  to 
thyself,  lest  thou  make  a  covenant 
with  tlie  inhabitants  of  tlie  land 
whither  thou  goest,  lest  it  be  for  a 
snare  in  the  midst  of  thee. 

^^^lm.  XV,    14-16,  29.   And  if  a 

stranger  sojourn  with  you,  or  who- 
soever be  among  you  in  your  ge- 
nerations, and  will  offer  an  offer- 
ing made  by  Are,  of  a  sweet  savour 
j  unto  the  Loiiu ;  as  ye  do,  so  he 
shall  do.  One  ordinance  shall  be 
both  for  you  of  the  congregation, 
and  also  for  the  stranger  tliat  so- 
journeth  with  you,  an  ordinance 
fur  ever  in  your  generations;  as  ye 
are,  so  shall  the  stranger  be  before 
the  Lord.  One  law,  and  one  man- 
ner, shall  be  for  you,  and  for  the 
stranger  that  sojourneth  with  you. 
Ye  shall  have  one  law  for  him  that 
sinneth  through  Ignorance,  both 
for  him  that  is  born  among  the 
children  of  Israel,  and  for  the 
stranger  that  sojournetli  among

Num.  xxiii,  9.  For  from  the  top 
of  tlie  rocks  I  see  him.  and  from 
j  the  hills  I  behold  him:  lo,  the 
j  people  shall  dwell  alone,  and  sli;;ll 
I  not  be  reckoned  among  the  na-

I  Joshua  xxiii,  7.  That  ye  come 
not  among  tliese  nations,  these 
that  remain  among  you;  neitlier 
make  mention  of  the  name  of  tiieir 
gods,  nor  cause  to  swear  by  them, 
neitlier  serve  them,  nor  bow  your- 
selves unto  them. 

1  Kings  viii,  53.  For  thou  didst 
separate  them  from  among  all  the 
people  of  the  earth,  to  be  thine  in- 
heritance, as  thou  spakest  by  the 
hand  of  Moses  thy  servant,  when 
thou  broiiglitest  our  fathers  out  of 
Egypt,  O  Lord  God. 

Neh.  xiii,  1-3.  On  that  day  they 
read  in  the  book  of  Moses  in  the 
audience  of  the  people;  and  there- 
in was  found  written,  that  the 
Ammonite  and  the  Moabite  should 
not  come  into  the  congregation 
of  God  for  ever;  Because  they 
met  not  the  children  of  Israel  with 
bread  and  with  water,  but  hired 
821 


Balaam  against  them,  that  he 
slionid  C'lrse  them:  howbeit  our 
God  turned  the  curse  into  a  bless- 
ing. Now  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  had  heard  the  law,  that  they 
separated  from  Israel  all  the 
mixed  multitude. 

Ezek.  xlvii,  22,  23.  And  it  shall 
come  to  pass,  that  ye  shall  divide 
it  by  lot  for  an  inheritance  unto 
you,  and  to  the  strangers  that  so- 
journ among  you,  which  shall 
beget  children  among  you:  and 
they  shall  be  unto  you  as  born  ia 
the  country  among  the  children  of 
Israel;  they  shall  liave  inheritance 
with  you  among  the  tribes  of 
Israel.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  in  wliai.  tribe  the  stra:  ger 
S'ljourneth,  there  shall  ye  give 
hlin  his  inheritance,  saith  the  Lord 
God. 

Joel  iii,  7.  Behold,  I  will  raise 
them  out  of  the  place  whitl>er  ye 
have  sold  them,  and  will  return 
your  reconipence  upon  your  own 
head. 

Ps.  Ix,  5.  Thou  hast  rebuked  the 
heathen,  thou  hast  desiroyed  the 
wicked,  thou  hast  put  out  their 
name  for  ever  and  ever. 

Ps.  xxxiii,  10.  The  Lord  bring- 
eth  the  counsel  of  the  heathen  to 
nought:  he  maketh  the  devices  ot 
the  people  of  none  effect. 

Ps.  cvi,  47.  Save  us,  O  Lord  our 
God,  and  gather  us  from  among 
the  heathen,  to  give  thanks  unto 
tiiy  holy  name,  and  to  triumph  in 
thy  praise. 

Isa.  l.xiii,  19.  We  are  thine:  thou 
never  barest  rule  over  them;  they 
were  not  called  by  thy  name. 

Ezek,  XX,  14.  But  I  wrought  for 
my  name's  sake,  that  it  should  not 
be  polluted  before  tlie  heathen,  in 
whose  sight  I  brought  them  out. 

EzeJc.  XXX,  3.  For  the  day  is 
near,  even  the  day  of  the  Lord  is 
near,  a  cloudy  day;  it  shall  be  the 
time  of  the  heatlien. 

Ezek.  xxxvi,  7,  20.  Therefore 
thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  I  have 
lifted  up  mine  hand,  Surely  the 
heathen  that  are  about  you,  they 
shall  bear  their  sliame.  Ami  when 
they  entered  unto  the  neathen, 
whither  they  went,  they  profaned 
my  iioly  name,  when  they  said  to 
them,  Tliese  are  the  people  of  the 
Lord,  and  are  gone  forth  out  ot  his 
laud. 

Ezek.  xxxvii,  28.  And  the  hea- 
then shall  know  that  1  the  Lord 
do  sanctify  Israel,  when  my  sanc- 
tuary sliall  be  in  the  midst  of  them 
for  evermore. 

Hab.  iii,  13,  14.  Thou  wentest 
forth  for  the  salvation  of  thy 
people,  even  for  salvation  Avith 
thine  anointed;  thou  woundedst 
the  head  out  of  the  house  of  the 


■wicked,  by  discovering'  the  fotm- 
dation  unto  the  neck.  Selah. 
Thou  didst  strilte  through  with 
bis  staves  the  head  of  his  villages: 
they  came  out  as  a  whirlwind  to 
Bcatter  me:  their  rejoicing  w<is  as 
to  devour  the  poor  secretly. 

THE  SAMARITANS. 

2  Kings  xvii,  24,  33, 34.  And  the 
king  of  Assyria  bronglit  men 
from  Babylon,  and  from  Cuthah, 
and  from  Ava,  and  from  Hamath, 
and  from  Sepliarvaini.  and  placed 
them  in  tlie  cities  of  Samaria  in- 
stead of  the  children  of  Israel; 
and  they  possessed  Samaria,  and 
dwelt  in  the  cities  tliereof.  They 
feared  the  Lord,  and  served  their 
own  gods,  after  the  manner  of  the 
nations  whom  they  carried  away 
from  thence.  Unto  this  day  they 
do  after  the  former  manners:  they 
fearnot  the  Lord,  neither  do  they 
after  their  statutes,  or  after  their 
ordinances,  or  after  the  law  and 
commandment,  which  the  Lord 
commanded  the  children  of  Jacob, 
■whom  he  named  Israel. 

Luke  ix,  52,  53.  And  sent  mes- 
sengers before  ins  face:  and  tliey 
went,  and  entered  into  a  village  of 
the  Samaritans,  to  make  ready  for 
him.  And  they  did  not  receive 
him,  because  his  face  was  as 
though  he  would  go  to  Jeru- 
salem. 

Luke  xvii,  15-18.  And  one  of 
them,  when  he  saw  that  he  was 
healed,  turned  back,  and  with  a 
loud  voice  glorified  God.  And 
fell  down  on  Ms  face  at  his  feet, 
giving  him  thanks:  and  he  was  a 
Samaritan.  And  Jesus  answer- 
ing, said,  Were  there  not  ten 
cleansed?  but  where  are  the  nine? 
There  are  not  foinid  that  return- 
ed to  give  glory  to  God,  save  this 
stranger. 

John  Iv,  9, 20-22,27...For  the  Jews 
have  no  dealings  witli  the  Samari- 
tans. Our  fathers  worshipped  in 
this  mountain;  and  ye  say,  tliat  in 
Jerusalem  is  the  place  where  men 
ought  to  worship.  Jesus  saith  unto 
her,  Worn,. n,  believe  me,  the  hour 
Cometh,  when  ye  shall  neither 
in  this  mountain,  nor  yet  at  Jeru- 
salem, worship  the  Father.  Ye 
worship  ye  know  not  what:  we 
know  what  we  worship:  for  salva- 
tion is  of  the  Jews.  And  upon 
tills  came  liis  disciples,  and  mar- 
velled that  he  talked  with  the 
woman:  yet  no  man  said,  "What 
seekest  tlion?  or,  Why  talkest 
thou  with  her?

For  three  transgressions  of  Judah,

nfiiint  you  from  the  entering  in  of 
Ilamath  unto  the  river  of  the  wil- 
derness. 

THE  CAPTIVITY. 
2  Kings  xx,  17.  Behold,  the  days 
come,  that  all  that  is  in  thine 
house,  and  that  which  thy  fathers 
have  laid  up  in  store  unto  this  day, 
shall  be  carried  into  Babylon:  no- 
thing shall  be  left,  saith  the  Lord, 

2  Kings  xxl,  12,  13.  Therefore 
thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  Israel, 
Behold,  I  am  bringing  such  evil 
upon  Jerusalem  and  Judah.  that 
whosoever  heareth  of  it,  both  his 
ears  shall  tingle.  And  I  will 
stretch  over  Jerusalem  the  line  of 
Samaria,  and  the  plummet  of  the 
house  of  Ahab;  and  I  will  wipe 
Jerusalem  as  a  man  wipeth  a  dish, 
wiping  it,  and  turning  it  upside 
down. 

2  Kings  xxiv,  1.  In  his  days 
Nebuchadnezzar  king  of  Babylon 
came  up,  and  Jehoiakim  became 
his  servant  three  years;  then  he 
turned  and  rebelled  against  him, 

Isa.  xxxlx,  6.  Behold,  the  days 
come,  that  all  that  is  in  thine 
house,  and  that  which  thy  fathers 
have  laid  up  in  store  until  this 
day,  shall  be  carried  to  Babylon: 
nothing  shall  be  left,  saith  the 
Lord. 

Jer.  xiii,  19.  The  cities  of  the 
south  shall  be  shut  up,  and  none 
shall  open  them;  Judah  shall  be 
carried  away  captive  all  of  it,  it 
shall  be  wholly  carried  away  cap- 
tive. 

Jer.  XV,  2,  4, 5, 14.  And  it  shall 
come  to  p'lss,  if  they  say  unto 
thee.  Whither  shall  we  go  forth? 
then  thou  shalt  tell  them.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  Such  as  are  for 
death,  to  death;  and  such  as  are 
for  the  sword,  to  the  sword;  and 
such  as  aYe  for  the  famine,  to  the 
famine;  and  such  as  are  for  the 
captivity,  to  the  captivity.  And  I 
will  cause  them  to  be  removed 
into  all  kingdoms  of  the  earth, 
because  of  Manasseh  the  son  of 
Hezekiah  king  of  Judah.  for  that 
which  he  did  in  Jerusalem,  For 
who  shall  have  pity  upon  thee,  O 
Jerusalem?  or  who  shall  bemoan 
thee?  or  wuo  shuU  go  aside  to 
ask  how  thou  doest?  And  I  win 
make  thee  to  pass  with  thine 
enemies  into  a  land  which  thou 
knowest  not:  for  a  fire  is  kindled 
in  mine  anger,  which  shall  burn 
upon  you. 

Jer.  xvli,  4.  And  thou,  even 
thyself,  Shalt  discontinue  from 
thine  heritage  that  I  gave  thee: 
and  I  will  cause  thee  to  serve 
thine  enemies  in  the  land  which 
thou  knowest  no; :  for  ye  have 
823 


kinrlled  aflre'n  m!ne  anger,  which 
shall  burn  for  ever. 

Jer.  xxiv,  8-10.  And  as  the  evil 
figs,  which  cannot  be  eaten,  they 
are  so  evil;  surely  thus  saith  the 
Lord,  So  will  I  give  Zedekl ah  the 
king  of  Judah,  and  his  princes, 
and  the  residue  of  Jerusalem, 
that  remain  in  this  land,  and  them 
that  dwell  in  the  land  of  Egypt; 
And  I  will  deliver  them  to  be  re- 
moved into  all  the  kingdoms  of 
the  earth  for  their  hurt,  to  be  a  re- 
proach and  a  proverb,  a  taunt  and 
a  curse,  in  all  places  whither  I 
shall  drive  them.  And  I  will  send 
the  sword,  the  famine,  and  the 
pestilence,  among  them,  till  they 
be  consumed  from  off  the  land 
that  I  gave  unto  them  and  to 
their  fathers. 

Jer.  XXV,  8,  9,  11.  Therefor© 
thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 
Because  ye  have  not  heard  my 
words,  Behohi,  I  will  send  and 
take  all  the  families  of  the  north, 
saitli  the  Lord,  and  Nebuchad- 
rezzar the  king  of  Babylon,  my 
servant,  and  will  bring  them 
against  this  land,  and  against 
the  inhabitants  thereof,and  against 
all  these  nations  round  about,  and 
will  utterly  destroy  them,  and 
make  them  an  astonishment,  and 
an  hissing,  and  perpetual  desola- 
tions. And  this  whole  land  shall 
be  a  desolation,  and  an  astonish- 
ment; and  these  nations  shall 
serve  the  king  of  Babylon  seventy 
years. 

Jer.  xxix,  10, 11.  For  thus  saith 
the  Lord,  that  after  seventy  years 
be  accomplished  at  Babylon  I  will 
visit  you,  and  perform  my  good 
word  toward  you,  in  causing  you 
to  return  to  this  place.  For  I 
know  the  thoughts  that  I  think 
toward  you,  saith  the  Lord, 
thoughts  of  peace,  and  not  of  evil, 
to  give  you  an  expected  end. 

J"er.xxxii,4.  And  Zedekiah  king 
of  Judah  shall  not  escape  out  of 
the  hand  of  the  Chaldeans,  but 
shall  surely  be  delivered  into  the 
hand  of  the  king  of  Babylon,  and 
shall  speak  with  him  mouth  to 
mouth,  and  his  eyes  shall  behold 
his  eyes. 

Jer.  xxxiv,  1-3.  The  word  which 
came  unto  Jeremiah  from  the 
Lord,  (when  Nebuchadnezzar  king 
of  Babylon,  and  all  his  army,  and 
all  the  kingdoms  of  the  earth  of 
his  flominion,  and  all  the  people, 
fought  against  Jerusalem,  and 
against  all  the  cities  thereof,)  say- 
ing, Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the 
God  of  Israel,  Go  and  speak  to 
Zedekiah  king  of  Judah,  and  tell 
him.  Thus  saitii  the  Lord,  Behold, 
I  will  give  tliis  city  into  the  hand  of 
the  king  of  Babylon,  and  he  shall 
burn  it  with  fire.  And  thou  shalt 
not  escape  ou:  of  his  hand,but  shalt 
surely  be  taken,  and  delivered 
into  his  hand;  and  thine  eyes  shall

behold  the  eyes  of  the  King  of 
Babylon,  and  he  shall  speak  with 
thee  mouth  to  mouth,  and  thou 
Bhalt  go  to  Babylon, 

Jer.  xxxviii,  1-3.  Then  Shepha- 
tiah  the  son  of  Mat  tan,  and  Geda- 
liah  the  son  of  Pushur,  and  Jucal 
the  son  of  Shelemiah,  and  Pashur 
the  son  of  Malchiah,  heard  the 
words  that  Jeremiah  had  spoken 
unto  all  the  people,  saying,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  He  that  remaineth 
In  this  city  shall  die  by  the  sword, 
by  the  faniine,  and  by  the  pesti- 
lence: but  he  that  goeth  forth  to 
the  Chaldeans  shall  live;  for  he 
shall  have  his  life  for  a  prey,  and 
shall  live.  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
This  city  shall  surely  be  given  into 
the  hand  of  the  king  of  Babylon's 
army,  which  shall  take  it. 

Jer.  xliv,  27.  Behold,  I  will 
watch  over  them  for  evil,  and  not 
for  good;  and  all  tliemen  of  Judah 
that  are  in  the  land  of  Egypt  shall 
be  consumed  by  the  sword,  and 
by  tlic  famine,  until  there  be  an 
end  of  them. 

Ezek.  V,  14.  Moreover,  I  will 
make  thee  waste,  and  "a  reproach 
among  the  nations  that  are  lound 
about  thee,  in  the  sight  of  all  that 
pass  by. 

Ezeli.  vi,  7.  And  the  slain  shall 
fall  in  the  midst  of  you;  and  ye 
shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

Ezek.  xii,  15.  And  they  shall 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  when  I 
shall  scatter  them  among  the  na- 
tions, and  disperse  them  in  the 
countries. 

Ezek.  xxii,  15,  16.  And  I  will 
scatter  tliee  among  the  heathen, 
and  disperse  thee  in  the  countries, 
and  will  consume  thy  filtliiness 
out  of  thee.  And  thou  shalt  take 
thine  inheritance  in  thyself  in  the 
Bight  of  the  heathen,  and  thou 
Bhalt  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

Hosea  v,  9.  Ephralm  shall  be 
desolate  in  the  day  of  rebuke: 
among  the  tribes  of  Israel  have  I 
made  known  that  which  shall 
Burely  be.

ISRAEL  IN  CAPTIVITY. 

FATE  OF  THE  TEN  TKIBES. 

2  Kings  xvii,  5.  Then  the  king 
of  Assyria  came  up  throughuut 
all  the  land,  and  went  up  to  Sa- 
maria, and  besieged  it  three  years. 

2  Kings  xviii,  8-12.  He  smote 
the  Pliilistines,  even  unto  Gaza, 
and  the  borders  thereof,  from  the 
tower  of  the  watchmen  to  the 
fenced  city.  And  it  came  to  pass 
in  the  fourth  year  of  king  Heze- 
kiah,  which  was  the  seventh  year 
of  Hoshca  sou  of  \L\oA\  king  of 
Israel,  that  Slialmaneser  king  of 
Assyria  came  up  against  Samaria, 
and  besieged  It.  And  at  tlie  end 
of  three  years  they  took  It:  even 
in   the  sixth  year  of  Hezekiah, 


(that  is  the  ninth  year  of  Hoshea 
king  of  Israel.)  Samaria  was  taken. 
And  the  king  of  Assyria  did 
carry  away  Israel  unto  Assyria, 
and  put  them  in  Halah  and  in 
Habor  by  the  river  of  Gozan,  and 
in  the  cities  of  the  Medes;  Be- 
cause tliey  obeyed  not  the  voice 
of  the  Lord  their  God,  but  trans- 
gressed his  covenant,  and  all  tliat 
Moses  the  servant  of  the  Lord 
commanded,  and  would  not  hear 
them,  nor  do  them. 

CAPTIVITY  OP  JUDAH. 
2  Kings  xxiv,  14-16.  And  he 
carried  away  all  Jerusalem,  and  all 
the  princes,  and  all  the  mighty 
men  of  valour,  even  ten  thousand 
captives,  and  all  the  craftsmen 
and  smiths:  none  remained,  save 
the  poorer  sort  of  the  people  of 
the  land.  And  he  carried  away 
Jehoiachin  to  Babylon,  and  the 
king's  mother,  and  the  king's 
wives,  and  his  officers,  and  the 
mighty  of  the  land;  those  carried 
he  into  captivity  from  Jerusalem 
to  Babylon.  And  all  the  men  of 
miglit,  even  seven  thousand,  and 
craltsinen  and  smiths  a  thousand, 
all  that  were  strong  and  apt  for 
war,  even  them  the  king  of  Baby- 
lon brought  captiye  to  Babylon. 

2  Kings  xxv,  6,  7, 11,  19-21.    So 

they  took  the  king,  and  brought 
him  up  to  the  king  of  Babylon  to 
Kiblah;  and  they  gave  judgment 
upon  him.  And  tliey  slew  the 
sous  of  Zedekiah  before  his  eyes, 
and  put  out  the  eyes  of  Zedekiali, 
and  bound  him  with  fetters  of 
brass,  and  carried  him  to  Babylon. 
Now  the  rest  of  the  people  that 
were  left  in  the  city,  and  the 
fugitives  that  fell  away  to  the 
king  of  Babylon,  with  the  remnant 
of  the  multitude,did  Nebuzaradan, 
the  captain  of  the  guard,  carry 
away.  And  out  of  the  city  he 
took  an  officer,  that  was  set  over 
the  men  of  war,  and  five  men  of 
them  that  were  in  the  king's  pre- 
sence, which  were  found  in  tlie 
city,  and  the  principal  scribe  of  the 
host,  which  mustered  the  people 
of  the  land,  and  threescore  men 
of  the  people  of  the  land  that  tcere 
found  in  the  city:  And  Nebuzar- 
adan, captain  of  the  guard,  took 
these,  and  brought  them  to  the 
king  of  Babylon  to  Kiblah:  And 
tlie  king  of  Babylon  smote  them, 
anil  slew  them  at  Kiblah  in  tlie 
land  of  Hamath.  So  Judah  was 
carried  away  out  of  their  land. 

Jer.  xxix,  2,  3.  (After  that  Je- 
coniah  the  king,  and  the  queen, 
and  the  eunuclis,  the  princes  of 
Judah  and  Jerusalem,  and  the 
carpenters,  and  the  smiths,  were 
departed  from  Jerusalem,)  By  the 
hand  of  Elasah  the  son  of  Sha- 
phan,  and  Geniariah  the  son  of 
lillkiah,  (whom  Zedekiah  king  of 

Judah  Bent    u Babylon    to

saying. 

Jer.  xxxix,  9.  Then  Nebuzar- 
adan the  captain  of  the  guard 
carried  away 'captive  into  Babylon 
the  remnant  of  the  people  that 
remained  in  the  city,  and  those 
that  fell  away,  that  fell  to  him, 
with  the  rest  of  the  people  that 
remained. 

Jer.  lii,  15,  24,  25,  28-30.  Then 
Nebuzar-adan,  the  captain  of  the 
guard,  carried  away  captive  Cer- 
tain of  the  poor  of  tiie  people, 
and  the  residue  of  the  people  that 
remained  in  the  city,  and  those 
that  fell  away,  that  fell  to  the 
king  of  Babylon,  and  the  rest  of 
the  multitude.  And  the  captain 
of  the  guard  took  Seraiah  the 
chief  priest,  and  Zephaniah  the 
second  priest,  and  the  three 
keepers  of  the  door:  lie  took  also 
out  of  the  city  an  eianuch,  which 
had  the  charge  of  the  men  of  war; 
and  seven  men  of  them  that  were 
near  the  king's  person,  which 
were  found  in  the  city;  and  the 
principal  scribe  of  the  host,  who 
mustered  the  people  of  the  land; 
and  threescore  men  of  the  people 
of  the  land,  t/iat  were  found  in  the 
midst  of  tlie  city.  This  is  the 
people  whom  Nebiu-hadrezzar 
carried  away  captive;  In  the 
seventh  year  three  thousand  Jews, 
and  three  and  twenty:  In  the 
eighteenth  year  of  Nebuchad- 
rezzar he  carried  away  captive 
from  Jerusalem  eight  hundred 
thirty  and  two  persons:  In  the 
three  and  twentieth  year  of  Ne- 
buchadrezzar, Nebuzar-adan,  the 
captain  of  the  guard  ^  carried 
away  captive  of  the  Jews  seven 
hunched  forty  and  five  persons:  all 
the  persons  were  four  thousand 
and  six  hundred. 

CONDITION  DURING  THE 
CAPTIVITY. 

Lev.  xxvi,  38.  And  ye  shall 
perish  among  the  heathen,  and 
the  land  of  your  enemies  shall  eat 
you  up. 

Esther  ii,  5,  6.  Now,  in  Shushan 
the  palace  there  was  a  certain 
Jew,  whose  name  was  Mordecai, 
the  son  of  Jair,  the  son  of  Sliimui, 
tlie  son  of  Kish,  a  Benjamite; 
Who  had  been  carried  away  from 
Jerusalem  with  the  captivity 
wliich  had  been  carried  away 
with  Jeconiah  king  of  Judah, 
whom  Nebuchadnezzar  the  king 
of  Babyljn  had  carried  away. 

Fs.  Ixxviil,  61,  62.  And  deliver- 
ed his  strength  into  captivity,  and 
his  glory  into  the  enemy's  hand, 
lie  gave  his  people  over  also  unf  > 
the  sword;  and  was  wroth  with 
his  inheritance. 

Ps.  cxxxvii,  1-4.  By  the  rlveni

we  wept  when  we  rememberea

Zlon.  "We  hanged  our  harps  upon 
the  willow  in  tliemidstthereof!  For 
there  they  that  carried  us  away 
captive  required  of  us  a  song;  and 
they  thii+.  \vii\itedns  required  of  us 
mirth,  saying,  Sing  us  one  of  the 
songs  ot  Zion.  How  shall  we 
sing  the  Lord's  song  in  a  strange 
land? 

Isa.  Ixlii,  18.  The  people  of  thy 
holiness  liave  possessed  it  but  a 
little  while:  our  adversaries  have 
trodden  down  thy  sanctuary. 

Isa.  Ixiv,  10.  Thy  holy  cities  are 
a  wilderness,  Zion  is  a  wilderness, 
Jerusalem  a  desolation. 

Lam.  i,  1,  3-5.  How  aoth  the 
city  sit  solitary  tfiat  loas  lull  of 
people !  hoio  is  she  become  as  a 
widow!  she  that  loas  great  among 
the  nations,  and  princess  among 
the  provinces,  how  is  she  become 
tributary!  Judah  is  gone  into 
captivity  Ijecause  of  affliction,  and 
because  of  great  servitude;  she 
dwelleth  among  the  heathen,  she 
findelh  no  rest:  all  her  persecutors 
overtook  her  between  the  straits. 
The  ways  of  Zion  do  mourn,  he- 
cause  none  come  to  the  solemn 
feasts:  all  her  gates  are  desolate; 
her  priests  sigh,  her  virgins  are 
afflicted,  and  aXxe  is  in  bitterness. 
Her  adversaries  are  the  chief,  her 
enemies  prosper;  for  the  Lord 
hath  afflicted  her  for  the  multi- 
tude of  her  transgressions:  her 
children  are  gone  into  captivity 
before  the  enemy. 

Lam.  ii,  1.  How  hath  the  Lord 
covered  tlie  daughter  of  Zion  with 
a  cloud  in  his  anger,  end  cast 
down  from  heaven  unto  the  earth 
the  beauty  of  Israel,  and  remem- 
bered not  his  footstool  in  the  day 
of  his  anger! 

Ijam.  iv,  12.  The  kings  of  the 
earth,  and  all  the  inhabitants  of 
the  world,  would  not  have  believ- 
ed that  the  adversary  and  the 
enemy  should  have  entered  into 
the  gates  of  Jerusalem. 

LJzek.  xi,  15, 16.  Son  of  man,  thy 
brethren,  even  thy  brethren,  tli^ 
men  of  thy  kindred,  and  all  the 
house  of  Israel  wholly,  are  they 
unto  whom  the  inhabitants  of 
Jerusalem  have  said.  Get  you  far 
from  the  Lord;  unto  us  is  this 
land  giv(  n  in  possession.  Tliere- 
fore'say,  Tiius  saith  the  Lord  God, 
Although  I  have  oust  them  far  otf 
among  the  heathen,  and  although 
I  have  scattered  them  among  tlie 
countries,  yet  will  I  be  to  tliem  as 
a  little  sanctuary  in  the  countries 
where  tliey  shall  come. 

Ezek,  xxxix,  23,  24.  And  the 
heathen  shall  know  that  the 
house  of  Israel  went  into  captivity 
for  their  iniquity:  because  they 
trespassed  against  me,  therefore 
hid  I  my  face  from  them,  and 
gave  them  into  tlie  hand  of  their 
enemies;  so  fell  they  all  by  the 


sworcl.  According  to  their  un- 
cleanness,  and  according  to  their 
transgressions,  have  I  done  unto 
tliem,  and  hid  my  face  from 
them. 

Hosea  vlii,  8.  Israel  is  swallow- 
ed up:  now  shall  they  be  among 
the  Gentiles  as  a  vessel  wherein 
is  no  pleasure. 

Zech.  vii,  14.  But  I  scattered 
them  with  a  whirlwind  among  all 
the  nations  whom  they  knew  not: 
thus  the  land  was  desolate  after 
them,  that  no  man  passed  through 
nor  returned;  for  they  laid  the 
pleasant  land  desolate. 

THE  PRESERVED  REMNANT. 

Ezra  ix,  8.  And  now,  for  a  little 
space,  grace  hath  been  shelved 
from  the  Lord  our  God,  to  leave 
us  a  remnant  to  escape,  and  to 
give  us  a  nail  in  his  holy  place, 
that  cur  God  may  lighten  our 
eyes,  and  give  us  a  little  reviving 
in  our  bondage. 

Isa.  xxxvii,  31,  32.  And  the 
remnant  that  is  escaped  of  the 
house  of  Judah  shall  again  take 
root  downward,  and  bear  fruit 
upward.  For  out  of  Jerusalem 
shall  go  forth  a  remnant,  and  they 
that  escape  out  of  mount  Zion: 
the  zeal  of  the  Lord  of  hosts  shall 
do  this. 

Jer.  iv,  27.  For  thus  hath  the 
Lord  said,  The  whole  land  sliall 
be  desolate;  yet  will  I  not  make  a 
full  end. 

Jer.  V,  18.  Nevertheless,  in 
those  days,  saith  the  I>ord,  I  will 
not  make  a  full  end  with  you, 

Jer.  XXX,  11,  For  I  am  with 
thee,  saith  the  Lord,  to  save  thee: 
though  1  make  a  full  end  of  all 
nations  whither  I  have  scattered 
thee,  yet  will  I  not  make  a  full 
end  of  thee;  but  I  will  correct 
thee  in  measure,  and  will  not 
leave  thee  altogether  unpunished. 

Jer.  xl,  7—12.  Now,  when  all  the 
captains  of  the  forces  which  were 
in  the  fields,  even  they  and  their 
men,  heard  that  the  king  of  Baby- 
lon had  made  Gedaliah  the  son  of 
Ahikam  governor  in  the  land,  and 
had  committed  unto  him  men,  and 
women,  and  children,  and  of  the 
poor  of  the  land,  of  them  that 
were  not  carried  away  captive  t  o 
Babylon;  Then  they  came  to 
Gedaliah  to  Mizpah,  even  Ishmael 
the  son  of  Nethaniah,and  Johanan 
and  Jonatlian  the  sons  of  Kareah, 
and  Seraiah  the  son  of  Tanlium- 
eth,  and  the  sons  of  Ephai  tlie 
Netophathite,  and  Jezaniah  tlie 
s<m  of  a  Maachathite,  they  and 
their  rnen.  And  Gedaliah  the 
sonof  Ahikam,  the  son  of  Shaphan, 
sware  unto  them,  and  to  their 
men,  saying.  Fear  not  to  serve  the 
Chaldeans:  dwell  in  the  land,  and 
serve  the  king  of  Babylon,  and  it 
825 


Bhall  be  well  with  you.  As  foi 
me,  behold,  I  will  dwell  at  Mizpah, 
to  serve  the  Chaldeans  which  will 
come  unto  us:  but  ye,  gather  ye 
wine,  and  summer-fruits,  and  oil. 
and  put  them  in  your  vessels,  and 
dwell  in  your  cities  that  ye  have 
taken.  Likewise,  when  all  the 
Jews  that  tcere  in  Moab,  and 
among  the  Ammonites,  and  in 
Edom,  and  that  were  in  all  the 
countries,  heard  that  the  king  of 
Babylon  had  left  a  remnant  of 
Judah,  and  that  he  had  set  over 
them  Gedaliah  the  sonof  Ahikam, 
the  son  of  Shaphan;  Even  all  the 
Jews  returned  out  of  all  places 
whither  tliey  were  driven,  and 
came  to  the  land  of  Judah,  to 
Gedaliah,  unto  Mizpah,  and 
gathered  wine  and  suinmer-fruits 
very  much. 

Jer.  xliv,  28.  Yet  a  small  num- 
ber that  escape  the  sword  shall 
return  out  of  the  land  of  Egypt 
into  the  land  of  Judah;  and  all  the 
remnant  of  Judah,  that  are  gone 
into  the  land  of  Egypt  to  sojourn 
there,  shall  know  whose  words 
shall  stand,  mine,  or  theirs. 

Jer.  xlvi,  28.  Fear  thou  not,  O 
Jacob  my  servant,  saith  the  Lord; 
for  I  am  with  thee:  for  I  will 
make  a  full  end  of  all  the  nations 
whither  I  have  driven  thee:  but  I 
will  not  make  a  full  end  of  thee, 
but  correct  thee  in  measure;  yet 
will  I  not  leave  thee  wholly 
unpunished. 

Ezek.  vi,  8.  Yet  will  I  leave  a 
remnant,  that  ye  may  have  some 
that  shall  escape  the  sword  among 
the  nations,  when  ye  shall  be 
scattered  througli  the  countries. 

Ezek.  xii,  16.  But  I  will  leav  ■  a 
few  men  of  them  from  the  sword, 
from  the  famine,  and  from  tlie 
pestilence;  that  they  may  declare 
all  their  abominations  among  the 
heathen  whither  they  come;  and 
they  shall  know  that  1  am  th© 
Lord. 

Ezek.  xiv,  22,  23.  Yet,  behold, 
therein  shall  be  left  a  remnant 
that  shall  be  brought  forth,  both 
sons  and  daughters;  behold,  they 
shall  come  lorth  unto  you,  and  ye 
shall  see  their  way  and  their 
doings:  and  ye  shall  be  comforted 
concerning  the  evil  that  I  have 
brought  upon  Jerusalem,  even 
concerning  all  that  I  have  brought 
upon  it.  And  tliey  shall  comfort 
you,  when  ye  see  their  ways  and 
their  doings;  and  ye  shall  know 
that  I  have  not  done  without  cause 
all  til  at  I  have  done  in  it,  saith  the 
Lord  God. 

Amos  ix,  8,  9.  Behold,  the  eyes 
of  the  Lord  God  are  upon  the 
sinful  kingdom,  and  I  will  destroy 
it  from  oir  the  face  of  the  earth; 
saving  that  I  will  not  utterly 
destroy  the  house  of  Jacob,  saith 
the  Lord.     For,  lo,  I  will  com- 


mand,  and  I  will  sift  the  house  of 
Israel  among  all  nations,  like  as 
corn  is  sifted  in  a  sieve,  yet  shall 
not  the  least  grain  fall  upon  the 
earth. 

Zech.  xiii,  8, 9.  And  it  shall  come 
to  pass,  that  in  all  the  land,  saith 
the  Lord,  two  parts  therein  shall 
be  cut  oft'  and  die;  but  the  third 
shall  be  left  therein.  And  I  will 
bring  the  third  part  through  the 
fire,  and  will  rellue  them  as  silver 
is  reflned,  and  will  try  them  as 
gold  is  tried:  they  shall  call  on  ray 
name,  and  I  will  hear  them;  I  will 
say.  It  is  my  people;  and  they 
shall  say,  The  Lord  is  my  God. 

VIIT. 
RETURN  FROM  CAPTIVITY. 

PREDICTED. 

Isa.  xiv,  2.  And  the  people  shall 
take  them,  and  bring  them  to 
their  place;  and  the  house  of 
Israel  shall  possess  them  in  the 
land  of  the  Lord  for  servants  and 
handmaids:  and  they  shall  take 
them  captives,  whose  captives 
they  were;  and  they  shall  rule 
over  their  oppressors. 

Isa.  xliv,  26, 27.  That  confirmeth 
the  word  of  his  servant,  and  per- 
formeth  the  counsel  of  his  mes- 
sengers; that  saith  to  Jerusalem, 
Thou  shdt  be  inhabited;  and  to 
the  cities  of  Judah,  Ye  shall  be 
built;  and  I  will  raise  up  the  de- 
cayed places  thereof:  Tliat  saith 
to  the  deep,  Be  dry;  and  I  will  dry 
up  thy  rivers. 

Jer.  xii,  14,  15.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  against  all  mine  evil  neigh- 
bours, tliat  touch  the  inheritance 
which  I  have  caused  my  people 
Israel  to  inherit;  Behold,  I  will 
pluck  them  out  of  their  land,  and 
pluck  out  the  house  of  Judah  from 
among  them.  And  it  shall  come 
to  pass,  after  that  I  have  plucked 
them  out,  I  will  return,  and  have 
compas.sion  on  them,  and  will 
bring  them  again,  every  man  to 
his  heritage,  and  every  man  to  his 
land. 

Jer.  xvi,  14,  15.  Therefore,  be- 
hold, the  days  come,  saith  the 
Lord,  that  it  shall  no  more  be  said, 
The  Lord  livetli,  that  bronglit  up 
the  cliildren  of  Isr.iel  out  of  the 
land  of  Egypt;  But,  the  1..ord 
liveth,  that  brought  up  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  from  the  land  of  the 
north,  and  from  all  the  lands 
whither  he  had  driven  them:  and 
I  will  bring  them  again  into  their 
land  that  I  gave  unto  their  fathers. 

Jer.  xxlv,  5.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  the  God  of  Israel,  Like  these 
good  figs,  so  will  I  acknowledge 
them  tliat  are  carried  away  cap- 
tive of  Judah,  whom  I  have  sent 
out  of  this  place  into  the  land  of 
the  Chaldeans  for  their  good. 

Jer.  xxlx,  14.  And  I  will  be 
found  of  you,  saith  the  Lobd:  and  I 


JEWS, 

I  will  turn  away  your  captivity, 
and  I  will  gather  you  from  all  the 
nations,  and  from  all  the  places 
whither  I  have  driven  you,  saith 
the  Lord;  and  I  will  bring  you 
again  unto  the  place  whence  I 
caused  you  to  be  carried  away 
captive. 

Jer.  XXX,  3, 10.  For,  lo,  the  days 
come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  I 
will  bring  again  the  captivity 
of  my  people  Israel  and  Judah, 
saith  the  Lord;  and  I  will  cause 
them  to  return  to  the  land  that 
I  gave  to  their  fathers,  and 
they  shall  possess  it.  There- 
fore fear  thou  not,  O  my  servant 
Jacob,  saith  the  Lord;  neither  be 
dismayed,  O  Israel:  for,  lo,  I  will 
save  thee  from  afar,  and  thy  seed 
from  the  land  of  their  captivity; 
and  Jacob  shall  return,  and  shall 
be  in  rest,  and  be  quiet,  and  none 
shall  make  him  afraid. 

Jer.  xxxii,36,37.  And  now  there- 
fore thus  saith  the  LoriJ,  the  God 
of  Israel,  concerning  this  city, 
whereof  ye  say.  It  shall  be  de- 
livered into  the  hand  of  the  king 
of  Babylon.  .  .  .  Behold,  I  will 
gather  them  out  of  all  countries. 

Jer.  xxxlii,  7.  And  I  will  cause 
the  captivity  of  Judah,  and  the 
captivity  of  Israel  to  return,  and 
will  build  them,  as  at  the  first. 

Jer.  xlvi,  27.  But  fear  not  thou, 

0  my  servant  Jacob,  and  be  not 
dismayed,  O  Israel:  lor,  behold,  I 
will  save  thee  from  afar  olf,  and 
thy  seed  from  tlie  land  of  their 
captivity;  and  Jacob  shall  return, 
and  be  in  rest  and  at  ease,  and 
none  shall  make  him  afraid. 

.7er.l.33,34.Thus  saith  the  Loed 
of  hosts,  Tlie  children  of  Israel 
and  tlie  children  of  Judah  were 
oppressed  together:  and  all  that 
took  them  ciptives  held  them 
fast;  they  refused  to  let  theui  go. 
Their  Redeemer  is  strong;  The 
Lord  of  hosts  is  his  name.    .    .    . 

Ezek.  XX.  38 I  will  bring 

them  forth  out  of  the  country 
where  they  sojourn,  and  they 
shall  not  enter  into  the  land  of 
Israel;  and  ye  shall  know  that  I 
am  the  Loan. 

Zeph.  in,l9.  Behold,  at  that  time 

1  will  undo  all  tliat  afflict  thee: 
and  I  will  save  her  that  halteth, 
and  gather  her  that  was  driven 
out;  and  I  will  get  them  praise  and 
laiiio  in  every  land  where  they 
have  been  put  to  shame. 

Accomplished  under  Cyrus. 

Ezra  i,  1-6.  Now,  In  the  first 
year  of  Cyrus  king  of  Persia,  (that 
the  word  of  the  Lord  by  the  mouth 
of  Jeremiah  might  be  fullillcd,) 
the  Lord  stirred  up  the  spirit  of 
Cyrus  king  of  Persia,  that  he  made 
a  proclamathm  tiirou,i;hout  all  his 
kUigdom,  and  put  it  also  In  writ- 
lug,  saying,  Thus  saith  Cyrus 
826 


king  of  Persia,  The  Lonn  God  of 
heaven  hath  given  me  all  the 
kingdoms  of  the  eartli ;  and  he 
hath  charged  me  to  buili  iiim  an 
house  at  Jerusalem,  whieh  is  in 
Judah:  Who  is  there  among  you 
of  all  his  people?  his  God  be  with 
him,  and  let  him  go  np  to  Jerusa- 
lem, which  is  in  Judali,  and  build 
the  house  of  the  Lord  God  of  Is- 
rael (lie  is  tho  God)  which  is  in 
Jerusalem.  And  whosoever  re- 
maineth  in  any  place  where  he 
sojourneth,  let  the  men  of  his  place 
help  him  with  bilver,  and  with 
gold,  and  with  goods,  and  with 
beasts,  besides  the  free-will-offer- 
ing for  the  house  of  God  that  is  in 
Jerusalem.  Then  rose  up  the 
chief  of  the  fathers  of  Judah  and 
Benjamin,  and  the  priests,  and  the 
Levites,  with  all  them  wliose  spirit 
God  had  raised,  to  go  up  to  build 
the  house  of  the  Lord  which  is  in 
Jerusalem.  And  all  they  that 
were  about  them  strengthened 
their  hands  with  vessels  of  silver, 
with  gold,  with  goods,  and  \vith 
beasts,  and  with  precious  things, 
besides  all  that  was  willingly  of- 
fered. 

Ezra  ii,  70.  So  the  priests,  and 
the  Levites,  and  sovie  of  the 
people,  and  the  singers,  and  the 
porters,  and  the  Nethinims  dwelt 
in  their  cities,  and  all  Israel  in 
their  cities. 

Ezra  iii,  1.  And  when  the 
seventh  month  was  come,  and  the 
children  of  Israel  ivere  in  the 
cities,  the  people  gathered  them- 
selves together  as  one  man  to 
Jerusalem. 

Ezra  vil,  6, 7, 13,  This  Ezra  went 
up  from  Babylon;  and  he  was  a 
ready  scribe  in  the  law  of  Moses, 
wliich  the  Lord  God  of  Israel  had 
given:  and  the  king  granted  him 
all  hia  request,  according  to  the 
hand  of  tlie  Lord  his  God  upon 
him.  And  there  went  up  some  of 
the  children  of  Israel,  and  of  the 
priests,  and  the  Levites,  and  the 
singers,  and  the  porters,  and  the 
J^pthinims,  unto  Jerusalem,  in  the 
seventh  year  of  Artaxerxes  the 
king.  I  make  a  decree,  that  all 
they  of  the  people  of  Israel,  and  of 
his  pri(!Sts  and  Levites,  in  my 
realm,  which  are  minded  of  their 
own  free-will  to  go  up  to  Jerusa- 
lem, go  with  thee. 

Ezra  ix,  9.  For  we  were  bond- 
men; yet  our  God  hath  not  for- 
saken us  in  our  bondage,  but  hath 
extended  mercy  unto  us  in  the 
sight  of  the  kings  of  Persia,  to 
give  us  a  reviving,  to  set  up  the 
house  of  our  God,  and  to  repair 
the  desolations  thereof,  and  to  give 
us  a  wall  in  Judah  and  in  Jeru- 
salem.

OPPOSITION  TO  THE 
RETURNED  TRIBES. 
Ezra  iv,  21-24.  Give  ye  now 
commandment  to  cause  these  men 
to  cease,  and  that  tliis  city  be  not 
builded,  until  another  command- 
ment shall  be  given  from  me. 
Take  heed  now  tliat  ye  fail  not  to 
do  this:  why  should  damage  grow 
to  the  hurt  of  the  kings?  Now, 
when  the  copy  of  Iving  Artax- 
erxes'  letter  was  rend  before  Re- 
hum,  and  Shimshai  the  scribe,  and 
their  companions,  they  went  up  in 
haste  to  Jerusalem  unto  the  Jews, 
and  mnde  them  to  cense  by  force 
and  power.  Tlien  ceased  theworlc 
of  the  liouse  of  Goil  which  is  at 
Jerusalem,  So  it  ceased  unto  the 
second  yeor  of  the  reign  of  Darius 
king  of  Persia. 

Keh.  li,  10,  11.  When  Sanballat 
the  Horonite,  and  Tobiah  the  ser- 
vant, the  Ammonite,  heard  of  it,  it 
grieved  them  exceedingly  that 
there  was  come  a  man  to  seek  the 
welfare  of  the  chil  'ren  of  Israel. 
So  I  came  to  Jerusalem,  and  was 
there  three  days. 

Neh.  iv,  1.  But  it  came  to  pass, 
that  when  Sanbillat  heard  that 
we  builded  the  wall,  he  was  wroth, 
and  took  great  indignation,  and 
mocked  the  Jews. 

Neh.  vl,  1-3.  Now  it  came  to 
pass,  wlien  Snnballat.  and  Tobiah, 
and  Geshera  Uie  Arabian,  and  the 
rest  of  our  enemies,  heard  that  I 
had  builded  tiie  wall,  and  that 
there  was  no  breach  left  therein, 
(though  at  thai  time  I  had  not  set 
up  the  doors  upon  the  gates,) 
Tliat  Sanballat  and  Geshem  sent 
unto  me,  saying,  Come,  let  us 
meet  together  in  some  one  of  the 
villages  in  the  plain  of  Ono:  but 
they  thought  to  do  me  mischief. 
And  I  sent  messengers  unto  them, 
saying.  I  am  doing  a  great  work, 
so  that  I  cannot  come  down:  why 
should  the  work  cease,  whilst  I 
leave  it,  and  come  down  to  you? 

FINAL  DISPERSION. 

Deut.  xxviii,  66,  67.  And  thy 
life  shall  hang  in  doubt  before 
thee;  and  thou  shalt  fear  day  and 
night,  and  shalt  have  none  assur- 
ance of  thy  life:  In  the  morning 
thou  Shalt  say,  Would  God  it  were 
even!  and  at  even  thou  shalt  say, 
Would  God  it  were  morning!  for 
the  fear  of  thine  heart  wheiewith 
thou  shalt  fear,  and  for  the  sight 
of  thine  eyes  which  thou  shalt 
see. 

Luke  xxi,  22,  23.  For  these  be 
the  days  of  vengeance,  that  all 
things  which  are  written  may  be 
fulfilled.  But  woe  unto  them  that 
are  with  child,  and  to  them  that 
give  suck,  in  those  days!  for  there 
shall  be  great  distress  in  the  land, 
and  wralh  upon  this  people. 


Lvlre  xxiii.  28-30.  But  Jesus, 
turning  unto  them,  said.  Daughters 
ot  Jerusalem,  weep  not  fi)r  me, 
but  weep  for  yourselves,  and  for 
your  children.  For,  behold,  the 
days  are  coming,  in  the  which 
they  shall  say.  Blessed  are  the 
barren,  and  the  wombs  that  never 
bare,  and  the  paps  which  never 
gave  suck.  Then  shall  they  begin 
to  say  to  the  mountains,  Fall  on 
us;  and  to  the  hills.  Cover  us.

2  Chron.  xxxiii,  8.  Neither  will 
I  any  more  remove  the  foot  of 
Israel  from  out  of  the  land  which 
I  have  appointed  for  your  fathers; 
so  that  they  will  take  heed  to  do 
all  that  I  have  commanded  them, 
according  to  the  whole  law,  and 
the  statutes,  and  the  ordinances, 
by  the  hand  of  Moses. 

Ps.  Ixxxv,  1.  Lord,  thou  hast 
been  favourable  unto  thy  land: 
thou  hast  brought  back  the  cap- 
tivity of  Jacob. 

Ps.  cxxvi,  1.  When  the  Lord 
turned  again  the  captivity  of  Zion, 
we  were  like  them  that  dream. 

Isa.  xiv,  3,  4.  And  it  shall  come 
to  pass  in  the  day  that  the  Lord 
shall  give  thee  rest  from  thy 
sorrow,  and  from  thy  fear,  and 
from  the  hard  bondage  wherein 
thou  wast  made  to  serve,  That 
thou  shalt  take  up'  this  proverb 
against  the  king  of  Babylon,  and 
say,  How  hath  the  oppressor 
ceased!  the  golden  city  ceased! 

Isa.  xviii,7.  In  that  time  shall 
the  present  be  brought  unto  the 
Lord  of  hosts  of  a  people  scattered 
and  peeled,  and  from  a  people 
terrible  from  their  beginning  hith- 
erto; a  nation  meted  out  and  trod- 
den under  foot,  whose  land  the 
rivers  have  spoiled,  to  the  place 
of  the  name  of  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
the  luuuut  Zion. 

Isa.  xxvii,  12,  13.  And  it  shall 
come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  the 
Lord  shall  beat  off  trum  the  chan- 
nel of  the  river  unto  the  stream  of 
Egypt,  and  ye  shall  be  gathered 
one  by  one,  O  ye  children  of 
Israel.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass 
in  that  day,  that  the  great  trum- 
pet shall  be  blown,  and  they  shall 
come  which  were  ready  to  perish 
in  the  land  of  Assyria,  and  the 
outcasts  in  the  land  of  Egypt,  and 
shall  worisliip  the  Lord  in  the  holy 
mount  at  Jerusalem. 

Isa.  xli,  11-13.  Behold,  all  they 
that  were  incensed  against  thee 
Eh.ill  be  ashamed  and  conlouuded: 
S27 


they  shall  be  as  nothing;  and  they 
that  slv'wv  with  thee  shall  perish. 
Thou  shalt  seek  them,  and  shalt 
not  find  them,  even  them  that  con- 
tended with  thee:  they  that  war 
against  shall  be  as  nothing,  and 
as  a  thing  of  nouglit.  For  I  the 
Lord  thy  God  will  hold  thy  right 
hand,  saying  unto  thee.  Fear  not; 
I  will  help  thee. 

Isa.  xliii,  5-7.  Fear  not^for  I  am 
with  thee:  I  will  bring  thy  seed 
from  the  east,  and  gather  thee 
from  the  west;  I  will  say  to  the 
north.  Give  up;  and  to  tile  south. 
Keep  not  back:  bring  my  sons 
trom  far,  and  my  daughters  from 
the  ends  of  the  earth;  Even  every 
one  that  is  called  by  my  name: 
for  I  have  created  liim  for  my 
glory,  I  have  formed  him;  yea,  I 
have  made  him, 

Isa.  xlviii,  20.  Go  ye  forth  of 
Babylon,  flee  ye  from  the  Chal- 
deans, with  a  voice  of  singing 
declare  ye,  tell  this,  utter  it  even 
to  the  end  of  the  earth;  say  ye. 
The  Lord  hath  redeemed  his 
servant  Jacob. 

Isa.  xlix,  12. 18-21.  Behold,  these 
shall  come  from  far:  and,  lo,  these 
from  the  north  and  frcim  the  west; 
and  these  from  the  land  of  Sinim. 
Lift  up  thine  eyes  round  about, 
and  behold:  all  these  gather  them- 
selves together,  and  come  to  thee. 
As  I  live,  saith  the  Lord,  thou 
Shalt  surely  clothe  thee  with  them 
all,  as  with  an  ornament,  and  bind 
them  on  thee,  as  a  bride  doeth. 
For  thy  waste  and  thy  desolate 
place.",  and  the  land  of  thy  destruc- 
tion, shall  even  now  be  too  narrovir 
by  reason  of  the  inhabitants,  and 
they  that  swallowed  thee  up  shall 
be  far  away.  The  children  which 
thou  shalt  liave.after  thou  hast  lost 
the  other,  shall  say  again  in  thine 
ear=!,  The  place  is  too  strait  for 
me:  give  place  to  me,  that  I  may 
dwell.  Then  shalt  thou  say  in 
thine  heart,  Who  hath  begotten 
me  these,  seeing  I  have  lost  my

Gentiles  RTinll  come  to  thy  licrTit,

rising.  Lift  up  thine  eyes  round 
about,  and  see;  all  they  gather 
tliemselves  together,  they  come 
to  thee:  thy  sons  shall  come  from 
far,  and  thy  daughters  sliall  be 
nursed  at  thy  side.  Then  thou 
Shalt  see,  and  flow  together,  and 
thine  heart  shall  fear,  and  be  en- 
larged; because  the  abundance  of 
the  sea  shall  be  converted  uito 
tliee,  the  forces  of  the  Gentiles 
shall  come  unto  thee.  Therefore 
thy  gates  shall  be  open  contirm-

nor  night;  that  men  may  biing

portion:  therefore  in  their  land 
they  sliall  possess  the  double; 
everlasting  joy  shall  be  unto  them. 
And  their  seed  shall  be  known

offspring  among  the  people:  all 
that  see  them  shall  acknowledge 
tlicm,  that  they  are  the  seed  which 
the  LoKD  hath  blessed. 

Isa.  Ixv,  9.  And  I  will  bring 
forth  a  seed  out  of  Jacob,  and  out

Isa.  Ixvi,  10.  Rejoice  ye  with 
Jerusalem,  and  be  glad  with  her, 
all  ye  that  love  her:  rejoice  for 
joy  with  her,  all  ye  that  mourn 
for  her, 

Jer.  iil,  7, 18.  And  I  said,  after 
she  had  done  all  these  things, 
Turn  thou  unto  me:  but  slie  re- 
turned not.  And  her  treacher- 
ous sister  Judali  saw  it.  In  those 
days  the  house  of  Judah  shall  walk 
with  the  house  of  Israel,  and  they

land  of  the  north  to  the  land

thee  shall  be  a  spoil,  and  all  that 


prey  upon  thee  will  I  give  for  a 
prey.  Their  children  also  shall 
be  as  aforetime,  and  their  congre- 
gation sliall  be  established  before 
me,  and  I  will  punish  all  that 
oppress  them, 

Jer.  xxxi,  8,  9.  Behold,  I  will

coasts  of  the  earth,  ared  with  them 
tlie  blind  and  the  lame,  the  woman

with  cliild  together:  a  great  com- 
pany shall  return  thither.  They 
sliall  come  with  weeping,  and 
with  supplications  will  I  lead 
them:  I  will  cause  them  to  walk 
by  the  rivers  of  waters  in  a  straight 
way,  wherein  they  shall  not  stum- 
ble; for  I  am  a  fatlier  to  Israel,  and 
Epliraim  is  my  first-born.

Thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  I  will

the  people  among  whom  they  are 
scattered,  and  shall  be  sanctified 
in  them  in  the  sight,  of  the  heathen, 
then  shall  they  dwell  in  their  land 
tliat  I  have  given  to  my  servant 
Jacob.  And  they  shall  dwell 
safely  therein,  and  shall  build 
houses,  anil  plant  vineyards;  yea, 
they  shall  dwell  with  confidence, 
when  I  have  executed  judgments 
uptm  all  those  that  despise  them 
round  alxmt  them;  and  they  shall 
know  that.  I  am  the  Loi4i>  their 
God. 

Ezelc.  xxxvl,  33,  34.  Thus  saith

them  one  nation  in  tlie  land  np(m

king  shall  lie  king  to  them  all: 
and  they  shall  be  no  more  two 
nations,  neither  shall  they  be 
divided  into  two  kingdoms  any 
more  at  all. 

Ezelc.  xxxviii,  8.  After  many

and  they  shall  plant  vineyards, 
and  drink  the  wine  thereof;  they 
shall  also  make  gardens,  and  eat 
the  fruit  of  them.  And  I  will 
plant  them  upon  their  land,  and 
they  shall  no  more  be  pulled  up 
out  of  their  land  which  1  have 
given  them,  saith  the  Lord  thy 
God. 

Obadiah  17,  18.  20.  But  upon 
mount  Zion  shall  be  deliverance, 
and  there  shall  be  holiness;  and 
the  house  of  Jacob  shall  possess 
their  possessions.  And  the  house 
of  Jacob  shall  be  a  fire,  and  the 
house  of  Joseph  a  flame,  and  the 
house  of  Esau  for  stubble,and  they 
sliall  kindle  in  them,  and  devour 
them;  and  there  shall  not  be  any 
remaining  of  the  house  of  Esau: 
for  the  Lord  hath  spoken  it.  And 
the  captivity  of  this  host  of  the 
children  of  Israel  shall  possess 
that  of  the  Canaanites,  even  unto 
Zarephath;  and  the  captivity  of 
Jerusalem,  which  I's  in  Sepharad,

afflicted;  And  T  will  malte  her  that 
halted  a  remnant,  and  her  that 
xms  cast  far  off  a  strong  nation: 
and  the  Lord  shall  reign  over 
them  in  mount  Zion  from  hence- 
forth, even  for  ever.    And  thou, 

0  tower  of  the  flock,  the  strong

unto  thee  shall  it  come,  even  the 
first  dominion;  the  kingdom  shall

Zeph.  m,  9,  10,  16-17,  20.  For 
then  will  I  turn  to  the  people  a 
pure  language,  that  they  may  all 
call  upon  the  name  of  the  Lord, 
to  serve  him  with  one  consent. 
From  beyond  the  rivers  of 
Ethiopia  my  suppliants,  even  tlie 
daughter  of  my  dispersed,  shall 
bring  mine  offering.  The  Lord 
hath  taken  aNvay  tliy  judgments, 
he  hath  cast  out  thine  enemy:  the 
King  of  Israel,  even  the  Lord,  ^s 
in  the  midst  of  thee:  tliou  shalt 
not  see  evil  any  more.  In  that  day 
it  shall  be  said  to  Jerusalem,  Fear 
thou  not;  and  to  Zion,  Let  not 
thine  hands  be  slack.  The  Lord 
thy  God  in  the  midst  of  thee  Is 
mighty;  he  will  save,  he  will 
rejoice  over  thee  with  joy;  he  will 
rest  in  his  love,  he  will  joy  over 
theo  with  singing.  At  that  time 
will  I  bring  you  aj/am,  even  in  the 
time  that  I  gather  you:  for  I  will 
make  you  a  name  and  a  praise 
among  all  people  of  the  earth, 
when  I  turn  back  your  captivity 
before  your  eyes,  sailh  the  Lord.

of  men  and  cattle  thei-ein:  Ho,  ho, 
come  forth,  and  flee  from  the  land 
of  the  north,  saith  the  Lord:  for  I 
have  spread  you  abroad  as  the 
four  winds  of  the  heaven,  saith 
the  Lord.  Deliver  thyself,  O  Zion, 
that  dwellest  with  the  daughter 
of  nabylon.  And  many  nations 
shall  be  joined  to  the  Lord  in  tliat 
d;iy,  and  shall  be  my  people:  and

to  seek  the  Lord  of  liosts  in 
Jerusalem,  and  to  pray  before  the 
Lord.  Tims  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts.  In  those  days  it  shall  come 
to  pass,  that  ten  men  shall  take 
hold,  out  of  all  languages  of  the 
nations,  even  shall  take  hold  of 
the  skirt  of  him  that  is  a  Jew, 
saying.  We  will  go  with  you;  tor 
we  have  heard  that  God  is  with 
you. 

Zech.  xii,  7.  The  Lord  also  shall 
save  the  tents  of  Judah  flrst,  that 
the  glory  of  the  house  of  David, 
and  the  "glory  of  the  inhabitants 
of  Jerusalem,  do  not  magnify 
themselves  against  Judah. 

Zech.  xiv,10,ll,13,14.  All  the  land 
shall  be  turned  as  a  plain,  from 
Geba  to  Rimmon,  south  of  Jeru-

inhabited  in  her  place,  from 
Benjamin's  gate  unto  the  place 
of  the  flrst  gate,  unto  the 
corner  gate,  and  from  the  tower 
of  Hananeel  unto  the  king's  wine-

lay  hold  every  one  on  the  hand  of 
his  neighbour,  and  his  hand  sliall 
rise  up  against  the  hand  of  his 
neighbour.  And  Judah  also  sliall 
flglit  at  Jerusalem;  and  the  wealth 
of  all  the  heutlien  round  about

my  servant,  to  raise  up  the  tribes 
of  Jacob,  and  to  restore  the  pre- 
served of  Israel;  I  will  also  give

the  east  and  west,  and  shall  sit 
down  with  Abraham,  and  Isaac, 
and  Jacob,  in  the  kingdom  of 
heaven. 

Matth.  xii,  21.  And  in  his  name 
shall  the  Gentiles  trust. 

Matth.  xxi,  43.  Therefore  say  I 
unto  you.  The  kingdom  of  God 
shall  be  taken  from  you,  and  given 
to  a  nation  bringing  forth  the 
fruits  thereof. 

Luke  xiii,  29,  30.  And  they  shall 
come  from  the  east,  and  from  the 
west,  and  from  the  north,  and 
from  the  south,  and  shall  sit  down 
in  the  kingdom  of  God.  And,  be- 
hold, there  are  last  wliich  shall  be 
first,  and  there  are  first  which 
shall  be  last. 

Acts  vi,  14.  For  we  have  heard 
him  say,  that  this  Jesus  of  Naza- 
reth shall  destroy  this  place,  and 
shall  cliange  the  customs  which 
Moses  delivered  us. 

Rev.  xi,  15.  And  the  seventh 
angel  sounded;  and  there  were 
great  voices  in  heaven,  saying. 
The  kingdoms  of  this  world  are 
become  tlie  kingdoms  of  our  Lord, 
and  of  his  Christ;  and  he  shall 
reign  for  ever  and  ever. 


Application  and  Fulfilment  of 

THOSE  PaOPnEClILS. 

Matth.  iii,  9.  And  think  not  to 
say  within  yourselves.  We  have 
Abraham  to  our  father:  for  1  say 
onto  you,  that  God  is  able  of  these 


JEWS. 

stones  to  raise  up  children  unto 
Abraham. 

Matth.  xii,  17, 18.  That  it  might 
be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken  by 
Esaias  the  prophet,  saying,  Be- 
hold my  servant,  whom  I  have 
chosen;  my  beloved,  in  whom  my 
soul  is  well  pleased:  I  will  put  mv 
Spirit  upon  him,  and  he  shall 
shew  judgment  to  the  Gentiles. 

John  xi,  49-62.  And  one  of  them» 
named  Caiaphas,  being  the  h'v^Xi 
priest  that  same  year,  said  unto 
them.  Ye  Itnow  nothing  at  all, 
Nor  consider  that  it  is  expedient 
for  us,  that  one  man  should  di  ■ 
for  the  people,  and  that  the  whole 
nation  perish  not.  And  this  spake 
he  not  of  himself:  but  being  high 
priest  that  year,  he  prophesied 
that  Jesus  should  die  for  that 
nation;  And  not  for  that  nation 
only,  but  that  also  he  should 
gather  together  in  one  the  chil- 
dren of  God  that  were  scattered 
abroad. 

Acts  xiii,  46,  47.  Then  Paul  and 
Barnabas  waxed  bold,  and  said, 
It  was  necessary  that  the  word  of 
God  should  first  have  been  spoken 
to  you:  but  seeing  ye  put  it  from 
you,  and  judge  yourselves  un- 
worthy of  everlasting  life,  lo,  we 
turn  to  the  Gentiles:  For  so  hath 
the  Lord  commanded  us,  saying, 
I  have  set  thee  to  be  a  light  of  the 
Gentiles,  that  thou  shouldest  be 
for  salvation  unto  the  ends  of  the 
earth. 

Acts  XV,  11-17.  But  we  believe 
that,  through  the  grace  of  the 
Lord  Jesus  Christ,  we  shall  be 
saved,  even  as  they.  Then  all  the 
multitude  kept  silence,  and  gave 
audience  to  Barnabas  and  Paul, 
declaring  what  miracles  and  won- 
ders God  had  wrought  among  the 
Gentiles  by  them.  And  after  they 
had  held  tlieir  peace,  James  an- 
swered, saying.  Men  and  brethren, 
hearken  unto  me:  Simeon  hath 
declared  how  God  at  the  first  did 
visit  the  Gentiles,  to  take  out  of 
them  a  people  for  his  name.  And 
to  this  agree  the  words  of  the 
prophets;  as  it  is  written.  After 
this  I  will  return,  and  will  build 
again  the  tabernacle  of  David, 
which  is  fallen  down;  and  I  will 
build  again  the  ruins  thereof,  and 
I  will  set  it  up:  That  the  residue 
of  men  might  seek  after  the  L(jrd, 
and  all  the  Gentiles,  upon  whom 
my  name  is  called,  saith  the  Lord, 
who  doeth  all  these  things 

Eom.  H,  10.  But  glory,  honour, 
and  peace,  to  every  man  tliat 
worketii  good;  to  the  Jew  first, 
and  also  to  the  Gentile. 

Eom.  iii,  29.  Is  he  the  God  of  the 
Jews  only?  is  he  not  also  of  the 
Gentiles?  Yes,  of  the  Gentiles 
also. 

Rom.  ix,25,  26,30-32.  As  he  saith 
also  in  Oseo,  I  win  call  them  my  I 


people,  which  were  not  my  people; 
and  her  beloved,  which  was  not 
beloved.  And  it  shall  come  to 
pass,  that  in  the  place  where  It 
was  said  unto  them,  Ye  are  not 
my  people;  there  shall  they  be 
called  tlie  children  of  the  living 
God.  What  shall  we  say  thenf 
That  the  Gentiles,  which  followed 
not  after  righteousness,  have  at- 
tained to  righteouf-ness,  even  the 
righteousness  which  is  of  faith: 
Hut  Israel,  which  followed  after 
the  law  of  righteousness,  hath  not 
attained  to  the  law  of  righteous- 
ness. Wherefore?  Because  they 
sought  it  not  by  faith,  but  as  it 
were  by  the  works  of  the  law:  for 
they  stumbled  at  that  stumbling- 
stone. 

Bom.  X,  19,  20.  But  I  say.  Did 
not  Israel  know?  First,  Moses 
saith,  I  will  provoke  you  to  jeal- 
ousy by  them  that  are  no  people, 
and  by  a  foolish  nation  I  will 
anger  you.  But  Esaias  is  very 
bold,  and  saith,  I  was  found  oi 
them  that  sought  me  not;  I  was 
made  manifest  unto  them  that 
asked  not  after  me. 

Bom.  XV,  9-12,  21.  And  that  the 
Gentiles  might  glorify  God  for 
his  mercy;  as  it  is  written,  For 
this  cause  I  will  confess  to  thee 
among  the  Gentiles,  and  sing  unto 
thy  name.  And  again  he  saith. 
Rejoice,  ye  Gentiles,  with  his  peo- 
ple. And  again,  Praise  the  Lord, 
all  ye  Gentiles;  and  laud  him,  all 
ye  people.  And  again  Esaias 
saith.  There  shall  be  a  root  of 
Jesse,  and  he  that  shall  rise  to 
reign  over  the  Gentifes;  in  him 
shall  the  Gentiles  trust.  But  as  it 
is  written.  To  whom  he  was  not 
spoken  of,  they  shall  see;  and  they 
that  have  not  heard  shall  under- 
sttind, 

1  Cor.  1,  24.  But  unto  them 
which  are  called,  both  Jews  and 
Greeks,  Christ  the  power  of  God, 
and  the  wisdom  of  God. 

2  Cor.  iii,  8-11.  How  shall  not 
the  ministration  of  the  Spirit  be 
rather  glorious?  For  if  the  min- 
istration of  condemnation  be  glory, 
much  more  doth  the  ministration 
of  righteousness  exceed  in  glory. 
For  even  that  which  was  made 
glorious  had  no  glory  in  this  re- 
spect, by  reason  of  the  glory  that 
excelleth.  For  if  that  which  is 
done  away  was  glorious,  much 
more  that  which  remaineth  is 
glorious. 

Gal.  iii,  14, 28,29.  That  the  bless- 
ing of  Abraham  might  come  on 
the  Gentiles  through  Jesus  Christ; 
that  we  might  receive  the  promise 
of  the  Spirit  through  faith.  There 
is  neither  Jew  nor  Geek,  there  is 
neither  bond  nor  free,  there  is  nei- 
ther male  nor  female:  for  ye  are  all 
one  in  Christ  Jesus.  And  if  ye  be 
Christ's  then  are  ye  Abraham's 


JEWS. 


seed,  and  heirs  according  to  the 
promise. 

Gal.  iv,  30,  81.  Nevertheless, 
■what  saith  the  scripture?  Cast 
out  the  bond  woman  and  her  son: 
for  the  son  of  the  bond  woman 
shall  not  be  heir  with  tlie  son  of 
the  free  woman.  So  then,  breth- 
ren, we  are  not  children  of  the 
bond  woman,  but  of  the  free. 

Eph.  iii,  5,  6.  Which  In  other 
ages  was  not  made  known  unto 
the  sons  of  men,  as  it  is  now  re- 
vealed unto  his  holy  apostles  and 
prophets  by  the  Spirit;  That  the 
Gentiles  should  be  fellow-heirs, 
and  of  the  same  body,  and  par- 
takers of  his  promise  in  Christ  by 
the  Gospel. 

neb.  vii,  12, 18.  For  the  priest- 
hood being  clianged,  tlie.re  is 
made  of  necessity  a  change  also 
of  the  law.  For  there  is  verily  a 
disannulling  of  the  commandment 
going  befure,  for  the  weakness  and 
uuprofltabluness  thereof. 

Heb.  x\,  39,  40.  And  these  all, 
having  obtained  a  good  report 
through  faith,  received  not  the 
promise:  God  having  provided 
Some  better  thing  for  us,  tiiat  they 
without  us  should  not  be  made 
perfect. 

JEWISH  FAITH  AND  JEW- 
ISH PREJUDICES. 

John  vii,  35.  Then  said  the  Jews 
among  themselves.  Whither  will 
he  go,  that  we  shall  not  find  I  dm? 
will  lie  go  unto  the  dispersed 
among  the  Gentiles,  and  teach  the 
Gentiles? 

Acts  ii,  41,  42.  Then  they  that 
gladly  received  his  word  were 
baptized:  and  the  same  day  there 
were  added  unto  them  about 
three  thousand  souls.  And  tiiey 
continued  stedfastly  in  the  apos- 
tles' doctrine  and  fellowship,  and 
in  breaking  of  bread,  and  in 
prayers. 

Acts  iv,  4.  Hovvbeit  many  of 
them  which  heard  the  word  be- 
lieved; and  the  number  of  the 
men  was  about  five  thousand. 

Acts  v,  13, 14.  And  of  the  rest 
durst  no  man  join  himself  to  ihein: 
but  the  people  magnified  them, 
And  believers  were  the  more 
added  to  the  Lord,  multitudes 
both  of  men  and  women.) 

Acts  vi,  7.  And  the  word  of 
God  increased;  and  the  number  of 
the  disciples  multipled  in  Jeru- 
salem greatly:  and  a  great  com- 
pany of  the  priests  were  obedient 
to  the  faith. 

Acts  X,  27,  28.  And  as  he  talked 
with  him,  he  went  in,  and  found 
many  that  were  come  together. 
An  i  he  said  unto  them,  Ye  know 
how  that  it  is  an  unlawful  thing 
for  a  man  that  is  a  Jew  to  keep 


company,  or  come  unto  one  of 
another  nation;  but  God  hath 
shewed  me  that  I  should  not  call 
any  man  common  or  unclean. 

Acts  xi,  1^,  9-14,  17,  18.  And 
the  apostles  and  brethren  that 
were  in  Judea  heard  that  the 
Gentiles  had  also  received  the 
word  of  God.  And  when  Peter 
was  come  up  to  Jerusalem,  they 
that  were  of  the  circumcision  con- 
tended with  him.  Spying,  Thou 
wentest  in  to  men  uncircumcised, 
and  didst  eat  with  them.  But  the 
voice  answered  me  again  from 
heaven.  What  God  hath  cleansed, 
that  call  not  thou  common.  And 
this  was  done  three  times;  and  all 
were  drawn  up  again  into  heaven. 
And,  behold,  immediately  there  j 
were  three  men  already  come 
unto  the  house  where  I  was,  sent 
from  Cesarea  untj  me.  And  the 
Spirit  bade  me  go  with  them, 
nothing  doubting.  Moreover, 
tiiese  six  brethren  accompanied 
me,  and  we  entered  into  the  man's  , 
house:  And  he  shewed  us  how 
he  had  seen  an  angel  in  his  house, 
which  stood  and  said  unto  him, 
Siiud  men  to  Joppa,  and  call  tor 
SiuKm,  whose  surname  is  Peter.  \ 
Who  shall  tell  thee  words,  where- 
by thou  and  all  thy  house  shall  be 
saved.  Forasmuch  then  as  God 
gave  them  the  like  gift  as  he  did 
unto  us,  who  believed  on  the  Lord 
Jesus  Christ,  what  was  I,  that  I 
could  withstand  God?  When  they 
heard  these  things,  they  held  their 
peace,  and  gloriiied  God,  saying. 
Then  liath  God  also  to  the  Gentiles 
granted  repentance  unto  life. 

Acts  xiv,  1.  And  it  came  to  pass 
in  Iconium,  that  they  went  both 
together  into  the  synagogue  of 
the  Jews;  and  so  spake,  that  a 
great  multitude  both  of  the  Jews 
and  also  of  the  Greeks  believed. 

Acts  XV,  8,  9.  And  God,  which 
knoweth  the  hearts,  bare  them 
witness,  giving  them  the  Holy 
Ghost,  even  as  he  did  unto  us; 
And  put  no  difference  between 
us  and  them,  purifying  their 
hearts  by  faith. 

Acts  xxi,  20-22.  And  when  they 
heard  it,  they  glorified  the  Lord, 
and  said  unto  him,  Thou  seest, 
brother,  how  many  thousands  of 
Jews  there  are  which  believe; 
and  they  are  all  zealous  of  the 
law:  And  they  are  informed  of 
thee,  that  thou  teachest  all  the 
Jews  which  are  among  the  Gen- 
tiles to  forsake  Moses,  saying  that 
they  ought  not  to  circumcise  tlieir 
children, neither  to  walk  after  the 
customs.  What  is  it  therefore? 
the  multitude  must  needs  come 
together:  for  they  will  hear  that 
thou  art  come. 

(^ol.  iv,  11.  And  Jesus,  which  is 
called  Justus,  who  are  of  the  cir- 
cumcision. These  only  are  my

fellow- workers  unto  the  kingdom

fort unto  me. 

JEWISH  UNBELIEF. 

Acts  xiii,  19,  40.  41,  50.  And 
when  he  had  destroyed  seven 
nations  in  the  land  of  Chanaan, 
he  divided  their  land  to  them  by 
lot.  Beware,  therefore,  lest  that 
come  upon  you  which  is  spoken 
of  in  the  prophets;  Behold,  ye 
despisers,  and  wonder,  and  perish: 
for  1  work  a  work  in  your  days,  a 
work  which  ye  shall  in  no  wise 
believe,  though  a  man  declare  it 
unto  you.  But  the  Jews  stirred 
up  the  devout  and  honourable 
women,  and  the  chief  men  of  the 
city,  and  raised  persecution 
against  Paul  and  Barnabas,  and 
expelled  them  out  of  their  coasts. 

Acts  xiv,  2.  But  the  un])elieving 
Jews  stirred  up  the  Gentiles,  and 
made  their  minds  evil  affected 
against  the  brethren. 

Acts  xvli,  5.  But  the  Jews  which 
believed  not,  moved  with  envy, 
took  unto  them  certain  lewd 
fellows  of  the  baser  sort,  and  gath- 
ered a  company,  and  set  all  the 
city  on  an  uproar,  and  assaulted 
the  house  of  Jason,  and  sought  to 
bring  them  out  to  the  people. 

Acts  xviii,  12,  13.  And  when 
Gallio  was  the  deputy  of  Achaia, 
the  Jews  made  insurrection  with 
one  accord  against  Paul,  and 
brought  him  to  the  judgment- 
seat,  Saying,  This,  fellow  persuad- 
eth  men  to  worship  God  contrary 
to  the  law. 

Acts  xxvi,  19-21.  Whereupon, 
0  king  Agrippa,  I  was  not  dis- 
obedient unto  the  heavenly  vision: 
But  shewed  first  unto  them  of 
Damascus,  and  at  Jerusalem,  and 
tlinmghout  all  the  coasts  of 
Judea,  and  then  to  the  Gentiles, 
that  they  should  repent  and  turn 
to  God,  and  do  works  meet  for 
repentance.  For  these  causes  the 
dews  caught  me  in  the  temple, 
and  went  about  to  kill  me. 

Acts  xxviii,  25-29.  And  when 
they  [the  Jews]  agreed  not  among 
themselves,  they  departed,  after 
that  Paul  iiad  spoken  one  word. 
Well  spake  the  Holy  Ghost  by 
Esaias  tlie  prophet  unto  our 
fathers.  Saying,  Go  unto  this 
people,  and  say.  Hearing  ye  shall 
hear,  and  shall  not  understand; 
and  seeing  ye  shall  see,  and  not 
perceive:  For  the  heart  of  this 
people  is  waxed  gross,  and  their 
ears  are  dull  of  hearing,  and  their 
eyes  have  they  closed;  lest  they 
should  see  with  their  eyes,  and 
hear  with  their  ears,  and  under- 
stand with  their  heart,  and  should 
be  converted,  and  I  should  heal 
them.  Be  it  known  therefore 
unto  you,  that  the  salvation  of 
God  is  sent  unto 'the   Gentiles 


JEWS. 


ana  tfiat  they  will  hear  It.  And 
■\vliGii  he  had  said  these  words, 
the  Jews  departed,  and  had  great 
reasoning  among  themselves. 

IThessAi,  16.  Forbidding  us  to 
speak  to  the  Gentiles,  that  tliey 
might  be  saved,  to  All  up  their 
Bins  alway:  for  the  wrath  Is  come 
upon  them  to  the  uttermost. 

THE  CHURCH  AMONG  THE 
GENTILES. 

Acts  xiii,  48.  49.  And  when  the 
Gentiles  heard  this,  they  were 
glad,  and  glorified  the  word  of  the 
Lord:  and  as  many  as  were  or- 
diiined  to  eternal  life  believed. 
And  the  word  of  the  Lord  was 
pnMished  throughout  all  the  re- 
gion. 

AcU  xiv,  27,  28.  And  when  they 
were  come,  and  had  gathered  the 
church  together,  they  rehearsed 
all  that  God  had  done  with  them, 
and  how  he  had  opened  the  door 
of  faith  unto  the  Gentiles.  And 
there  they  abode  long  time  with 
the  disciples. 

Acts  XV,  3.  4.  And  being  brought 
on  their  way  by  the  church,  they 
papsed  through  Phenice  and 
Samaria,  declaring  the  conversion 
of  tlie  Gentiles:  and  they  caused 
great  joy  unto  all  the  brethren. 
And  wlien  they  were  come  to 
Jerusalem,  they  were  received  of 
th  church,  and  of  the  apostles 
and  elders,  and  they  declared: 
all  tilings  that  God  had  done 
with  them. 

Acts  xvii,  4, 12,  33, 34.  And  some 
of  them  believed,  and  consorred 
with  Paul  and  Silas;  and  of  the 
devout  Greeks  a  great  multitude, 
and  of  the  chief  women  not  a  few. 
Therefore  many  of  them  believed; 
also  of  honourable  women  which 
were  Greeks,  and  of  men  not  a 
few.  So  Paul  departed  from 
among  them.  Ilowbeit  certain 
men  clave  unto  him,  and  believed 
among  iiie  vvmuii  wcis  DiouysiUb 
the  Ai  eopaglte,and  a  woman  nam- 
ed Damaris,  and  others  with  them. 
Acts  xxi,  19.  And  Avhen  he 
had  saluted  them,  he  declared  ' 
parlicularly  what  things  God  had 
wrought  among  the  Gentiles  by 
his  ministry. 

Acts  xxii,  21.  And  he  said  unto 
me,  Depart:  for  I  will  send  thee 
far  hence  unto  the  Gentiles. 

Acts  xxvi,  lG-18.  But  rise,  and 
stand  upon  thy  feet:  for  I  have 
appeared  unto  thee  for  this  pur- 
I)o.«e  to  make  thee  a  minister  and 
a  witness  both  of  these  things 
which  thou  liast  seen,  and  of 
those  things  in  the  wliich  I  will 
appear  unto  t.liee;  Delivering  thee 
from  the  people,  and  from  the 
Gentiles,  unto  whom  now  I  semi

Eom.  i,  5.  13-15.  By  whom  we 
have  received  grace  and  apostle- 
ship,  for  obedience  to  the  faith 
among  all  nations,  for  his  name; 
Now  I  would  not  have  you  Igno-

wliich  were  afar  off,  and  to  them

Eph.  Ill,  1-4,  7, 8.  For  this  cause 
I  Paul,  the  prisoner  of  Jesus 
Christ  for  you  Gentiles,  (If  ye 
have  heard  of  the    dispensation

even  as  among  other  Gentiles, 
I  am  debtor  both  to  the  Greeks 
and  to  the  Barbarians,  both  to  the 
wise  and  to  the  unwise.  So,  as 
much  as  in  me  is,  I  am  ready  to 
pieach  the  Gospel  to  you  that  are 
at  Rome  also.

Bom.  X,  18.  But  I  say,  Have  |  ^^  the  effectual  working  of  his 
they  not  heard?  Yes  verily,  their  P'^^'^r.  Unto  mo,  who  am  Ie<s 
sound  went  Into  all  the  earth,  1"^"^  the  least  of  all  saints,  is  this 
and  their  words  unto  the  ends  of    S'-'ice  given,  that  I  shjiild  preach 


the  world. 

Bom.  XV,  16-19.  That  I  should 
be  the  minister  of  Jesus  Christ  to 
the  Gentiles,  ministering  the  gos- 
pel of  God,  that  the  offering  up  of 
the  Gentiles  might  be  acceptable, 
being  sanctified  by  the  Holy 
Ghost.  I  have  therefore  whereof 
I  may  glory  through  Jesus  C lyrist 
in  those  things  whicli  pertain  to 
God.  For  I  will  not  dare  to  speak 
of  any  of  those  things  which 
Christ  hath  not  wrought  by  me, 
to  make  the  Gentiles  obedient,  by 
word  and  deed.  Through  mighty 
signs  and  wonders,  by  the  power 
of  the  Si)irit  of  God;  so  that  from 
Jerusalem,  and  round  about  unto 
Illyricum,  I  have  fully  preached 
the  gospel  of  Christ. 

2  Cor.  lii,  6.  Who  also  hath 
made  us  able  ministers  of  the  new 
testament;  not  of  the  letter,  but  of 
the  spirit:  for  the  letter  killeth, 
but  the  spirit  giveth  life. 

Gal.  ii,  7-9.  But  contrariwise, 
when  they  saw  that  the  gospel  of 
theuncircunicision  was  committed 
unto  me,  as  the  gospel  of  tlie  cir- 
cumcision VMS  unto  Peter;  (For 
he  that  wrought  effectually  in 
Peter  to  the  apostleship  of  the 
circumcision,  the  same  was 
mighty  in  me  toward  the  Gen- 
tiles:) And  when  James,  Cephas, 
and  John,  who  seemed  to  be 
pillars,  perceived  the  grace  that 
was  given  umo  me,  they  gave  t  > 
me  and  Barnabas  the  right  hands 
of  fellowship,  that  we  should  go 
unto  the  heathen,  and  they  unto 
the  circumcision. 

Eph.  ii,  13-15, 17.  But  now,  in 
Christ  Jesus,  ye  who  sometimes 
were  far  off  are  made  nigh  by  the 
blood  of  Christ.  For  he  is  our 
peace,  who  hath  made  both  one, 
and  hath  broken  down  the  mid- 
dle wall  of  partition  betireen  vs; 
Having  abolished  In  his  flesh  the 
832 


among  the  Gentiles  the  unsearch- 
able riches  of  Christ. 

Col,  i,  6,  2.5-27.  Which  is  come 
unto  you.  as  it  is  in  all  the  world; 
and  bringeth  forth  fruit,  as  it 
doth  also  in  you,  since  the  day  ye 
heard  of  it,  and  knew  the  grace 
of  God  in  truth:  Whereof  I  am 
made  a  minister,  according  to  the 
dispensation  of  God  which  is 
given  to  me  for  you,  to  fulfil  the 
word  of  God;  Even  the  mystery 
which  hath  been  hid  from  ages 
and  from  generations,  but  now  is 
made  manifest  to  his  saints:  To 
whom  God  would  make  known 
wliat  is  the  riches  of  the  glory  of 
this  mystery  among  the  Gentiles; 
which  is  Christ  in  you,  the  hope 
of  glory. 

2  Tim.  i,  11.  Whereunto  I  am 
appointed  a  preacher,  and  an 
apostle,  and  a  teacher  of  the 
Gentiles. 

Bcv.  xiv,  6.  And  I  saw  another 
angel  fly  in  the  midst  of  heaven, 
having  the  everlasting  gospel  to 
preach  uuto  them  that  dwell  on 
the  earth,  and  to  every  nation, 
and  kindred,  and  tongue,  and 
people. 

Reflections. 
Acts  xv,19  20.  Wherefore  my  sen- 
tence is,  that  we  trouble  not  them 
which  from  among  the  Gentiles 
are  turned  to  God:  But  that  we 
write  unto  them,  that  they  abstain 
from  pollutions  of  idols,  and /?'oot 
fornication,  and  from  things 
strangled,  and  from  blood. 

Bom.  xi,  17-21.  And  if  some  of 
the  branches  be  broken  off,  and 
thou,  being  a  wild  olive-tree,  wert 
graffed  in  among  them,  and  with 
them  partakest  of  the  root  and 
fatness  of  the  olive  tree;  Boast 
not  against  the  branches:  but  if 
thou'  boast,  thou  bearest  not  the 
root,  but  the  root  thee.  Thou 
wilt  say  then,  The  branches  were 


JEWS. 


broken  off,  that  T  might  be  graffed 
in.  Well;  because  of  unbelief 
Ihey  were  broken  off,  and  thou 
Btanrlest  by  faith.  Be  not  hi;?h- 
minded,  but  fear:  For  if  God 
spared  not  the  natural  branches, 
take  fuel  lest  he  also  spare  not 
thee. 

Gal.  ii,  14. 15.  But  when  T  saw 
that  they  walkod  not  uprightly, 
according  to  the  truth  of  the 
PTospel,  I  said  unto  Peter  before 
t/iem  all,  If  thou,  being  a  Jew, 
livest  after  the  manner  of  Gen- 
tiles, and  not  as  do  the  Jews,  why 
compellest  thou  the  Gentiles  to 
live  as  do  the  Jews?  We  ivho  are 
Jew  s  by  nature,  and  not  Bianers 
of  the  Gentiles. 

Eph.  Ii,  11,  12.  Wherefore  re- 
mcmher,  that  ye  being  in  time 
past  Gentiles  in  the  flesh,  who  are 
called  Uiicircnmcisinn  by  'that 
which  is  called  the  Circumcision 
in  the  flesh  made  by  hands;  That 
at  that  time  ye  were  without 
Christ,  being  aliens  from  the  com- 
monwealth of  Israel,  and  strangers 
from  the  covenants  of  promise, 
having  no  hope,  and  without  God 
in  the  world. 

Titus  i,  13, 14,  This  witness  Is 
true:  wherefore  rebuke  them 
sharply,  that  they  may  be  sound 
in  the  faith:  Not  giving  heed  to 
Jewish  fables,  and  commandments 
of  men,  that  turn  from  the  truth. 

1  Peter  ii,  10.  Which  in  time 
past  rcere  not  a  people,  but  are 
now  the  people  of  God:  which  had 
not  obtained  mercy,  but  now  have 
obtained  mercy. 

FINAL  INBllINGING  OP  THE 

JEWS  AND  ITS  RESULTS. 

JJo-.rt.  ix,  1-6,  8,  9.  I  say  the 
truth  in  Christ,  I  lie  not,  my  con- 
science also  bearing  me  witness 
in  the  Holy  Ghost,  That  I  have 
great  heaviness  and  continual  sor- 
row in  my  heart.  For  I  could 
wish  that  myself  were  accursed 
from  Christ  fiar  my  brethren,  my 
kinsmen  according  to  the  flesh: 
Who  are  Israelites;  to  whom  per- 
taineth  the  adoption,  and  the 
glory,  and  the  covenants,  and  the 
giving  of  the  law,  and  the  service 
of  God,  and  the  promises:  Whose 
are  the  fathers,  and  of  whom  as 
concerning  the  flesh  Christ  came, 
who  is  over  all,  God  blessed  for 
ever.  Amen.  Not  as  though  the 
word  of  Gud  hath  taken  none 


effect.  For  <hey  are  not  all  Israel 
wliich  are  of  Israel.  Tliatis,They 
which  are  the  children  of  the 
flesh,  these  are  not  the  children 
of  Gnd:  but  the  children  of  the 
promise  are  counted  for  the  seed. 
For  this  is  the  word  of  promise. 
At  this  time  will  Income,  and 
Sara  shall  have  a  son.  * 

Bom.  X,  1-4.  Brethren,  my 
heart's  desire  and  prayer  to  God 
for  Israel  is  that  tliey  might 
be  saved.  For  I  bear  them 
record,  that  tliey  have  a  zeal  of 
God,  but  not  according  to  know- 
ledge. For  they,  being  ignorant 
of  God's  righteousness,  and  going 
about  to  establish  their  own 
righteousness,  have  not  submitted 
themselves  unto  the  rigliteous- 
ness  of  God.  For  Christ  is  the 
end  of  the  law  for  righteousness 
to    every    one    that    believeth, 

Horn.  x\,  1,  9.  11-15,  23-32.  I  say 

then,  Hath  God  cast  away  his 
people?  God  forbid.  For  I  also 
am  an  Israelite,  of  the  seed  of 
Abraham,  of  the  tribe  of  Ben- 
:amin.  And  David  saith,  Let 
their  table  be  made  a  snare,  and 
a  trap,  and  a  stumblingblock,  and 
a  recompence  unto  them:  I  say 
then.  Have  they  stumbled  that 
they  should  fall?  God  forbid:  but 
rather  through  their  fall  salvation 
is  come  unto  the  Gentiles,  for  to 
provoke  them  to  jealously.  Now. 
if  the  fall  of  them  be  the  riches  of 
the  world,  and  the  diminishing  of 
them  the  riches  of  the  Gentiles; 
how  much  more  their  fulness?  For 
I  speak  to  yon  Gentiles,  inasmuch 
as  I  am  the  apostle  of  the  Gentiles, 
I  magnify  mine  office;  If  by  any 
means  I  may  provoke  to  emula- 
tion them  which  are  my  flesh,  and 
miglit  save  some  of  them.  For  if 
the  casting  away  of  them  be  the 
reconciling  of  the  world,  what 
shall  the  receiving  of  them  be.  but 
life  from  the  dead?  And  they 
also,  if  they  abide  not  still  in  un- 
belief, shall  be  grafted  in:  for  God 
is  able  to  graff  tliem  in  again. 
For  if  thou  wert  cut  out  of  the 
olive-tree,  which  is  wild  by  nature, 
and  wert  grafted  contrary  to  na- 
ture into  a  good  olive-tree;  how 
much  more  shall  these,  which  be 
the  natural  branches,  be  graffed 
into  their  own  olive-tree?  For  I 
would  not,  brethren,  that  ye 
should  be  ignorant  of  this  mys- 
tery, (lest  ye  sliould  be  wise  in 
your  own  conceits.)  that  blind- 
ness in  part  is  happened  to  Israel, 


nntn  the  fulness  of  the  Gentiles 
be  come  in.  And  so  all  Israel 
Bliall  be  saved:  as  it  is  written, 
Tl)ere  shall  come  out  of  Sion  the 
Deliverer,  and  shall  turn  away 
ungodliness  from  Jacob.  For  this 
is  my  covenant  iinto  them,  when 
I  shall  take  away  their  sins.  As 
concerning  the  gospel,  thry  are 
enemies  for  your  sakes:  but  as 
touching  the  election,  they  are 
beloved  for.the  fathers'  sakes.  For 
the  gifts  and  calling  of  God  are 
without  repentance.  For  as  ye 
in  times  past  have  not  believed 
God.  yet  have  now  obtained  mercy 
througli  their  unbelief;  Even  so 
have  these  also  now  not  believed, 
tliat  through  your  mercy  they 
also  may  obtain  mercy.  For  God 
hath  concluded  them  all  in  unbe- 
lief, that  he  might  have  mercy 
upon  all, 

2  Cor.  iii,  12-16.  Seeing  then 
that  we  have  such  hope,  we 
use  great  plainness  of  speech; 
And  not  as  Moses,  tohich  put  a 
vail  over  his  face,  that  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  could  not  stedfastly 
look  to  tlie  end  of  that  which  is 
abolished:  But  their  minds  were 
blinded:  for  until  this  day  remain- 
eth  the  same  vail  untaken  away 
in  the  reading  of  the  old  testa- 
ment; which  vail  is  done  away  in 
Christ.  But  even  unto  this  day, 
when  Moses  is  read,  the  vail  is 
upon  their  heart.  Nevertheless, 
when  it  shall  turn  to  the  Lord, 
the  vail  shall  be  taken  away. 

Hev.  vii,  4-8.  And  I  heard  the 
number  of  them  which  were 
sealed:  and  there  were  sealed  an 
hundred  and  forty  and  four 
thousand  of  all  the  tribes  of  the 
children  of  Israel,  Of  the  tribe  of 
Juda  were  sealed  twelve  thous- 
and. Of  the  tribe  of  Reuben 
loere  sealed  twelve  thousand.  Of 
the  tribe  of  Gad  xcere  sealed 
twelve  thousand.  Of  the  tribe  of 
Aser  loere  sealed  twelve  thousand. 
Of  the  tribe  of  Neplithalim  were

tribe  of  Manasses  icere  sealed 
twelve  thousand.  Of  the  tribe  of 
Simeon  were  sealed  twelve 
thousand.  Of  the  tribe  of  Levi 
were  sealed  twelve  thousand.  Of

twelve  thousand.  Of  the  tribe  of 
Zabulon  were  sealed  twelve 
tliousand.  Of  the  tribe  of  Joseph

Num.  XXXV,  33,  34.  So  ye  shall 
not  pollute  the  land  wherein  ye 
are;  for  blood  it  deflleth  tlie  land: 
and  the  land  cannot  be  cleansed 
ot  the  blood  that  is  shed  therein, 
but  by  the  blood  of  him  that  shed 
It.  Defile  not  therefore  the  land 
•which  ye  shall  inhabit,  wherein  I

Deut.  V,  17.  Thou  Shalt  not  kill. 

Deut.  xxvii,24,25.  Cursed  be  he 
that  smiteth  his  neifrlibour  secret-

Amen.  Cursed  be  he  that  taketh 
reward  to  slay  an  innocent  person: 
and  all  the  people  shall  say,  Amen. 

3ratth.  V,  21.  Ye  have  heard  that 
It  was  said  by  them  of  old  time, 
Thou  Shalt  not  kill;  and  whoso- 
ever shall  kill  shall  be  in  danger 
of  the  judgment. 

1  Peter  iv,  15.  But  let  none  of 
you  suffer  as  a  murderer,  or  as  a 
thief,  or  as  an  evil-doer,  or  as  a 
busy-body  in  other  men's  matters. 

1  John  iii,  12.  Not  as  Cain,  rcho 
was  of  that  wicked  one,  and  slew 
his  brother.  And  wherefore  slew 
he  him?  Because  his  own  works 
were  evil,  and  his  brother's  right- 
eous. 

Instances  of  Murder  in 
Purpose  or  Fact, 

Gen.  lv,8.  And  Cain  talked  with 
Abel  his  brother:  and  it  came  to

Exod.  i,  15,  16,  22.  And  the  king 
of  Egypt  spake  to  the  Hebrew 
mldwives;  (of  which  the  name  of 
the  one  was  Sliiphrah,  and  the

he  said.  When  ye  do  the  office  of 
a  midwife  to  the  Hebrew  women, 
and  see  them  upon  the  stools,  if  it 
he  a  son,  then  ye  shall  kill  him; 
but  if  it  be  a  daughter,  then  she 
shall  live.  And  Pharaoh  charged 
all  his  people,  saying.  Every  son 
that  is  born  ye  shall  cast  into  the 
river,  and  every  daughter  ye  shall 
save  alive. 

Judges,  ix.  5.  And  he  went  into

slew  on  that  day  fourscore  and 
five  persons  that  did  wear  a 
linen  ephod.  And  Nob,  the 
city  of  the  priests,  smote  he 
with  the  edge  of  the  sword,  both 
men  and  women,  children  and

So  Joab  and  Abisliai  his  brother

of  the  servants  ot  David;and  Uriah 
the  Hittite  died  aba 

2  Sam.  xiii,  28.  Now  Absalom

even  upon  the  thirteenth  day  of 
the  twelfth  month,  (which  is  the

HUMAN  PENALTY 
AGAINST  IT. 

Gen.  Ix,  5,  6.  And  surely  yonr 
blood  of  your  lives  will  I  require; 
at  the  hand  of  every  beast  will  I 
require  it,  and  at  the  hand  of 
man;  at  the  hand  of  every  man's 
brother  will  I  require  the  life  of 
man.  Whoso  sheddeth  man's 
blood,  by  man  shall  his  blood  be 
shed:  for  in  the  image  of  God 
made  he  man. 

Exod.  xxi,  12-15.  He  that  smit- 
eth a  man,  so  that  he  die,  shall  be 
surely  put  to  death.  And  if  a  man 
lie  not  in  wait,  but  God  deliver 
Mm  into  his  hand;  then  I  will  ap- 
point thee  a  place  whither  he  shall 
flee.  But  if  a  man  come  pre- 
sumptuously upon  his  neighbour, 
to  slay  him  with  guile;  thou  shall 
take  him  from  mine  altar,  that  he 
may  die.  And  he  that  smiteth 
his  father  or  his  mother  shali  be 
surely  put  to  deatli.

smite  him  with  an  instrument  of 
iron,  so  that  he  die,  he  is  a  mur- 
derer: tlie  murderer  sliall  surely

him  with  throwing  a  stone,  where- 
I  with  he  may  die,  and  he  die,  he  is 
'  a  murderer:  the  murderer  shall 
surely  bo  put  to  death.  Or  if  he 
smite  him  with  an  hand-weapon 
of  wood,  wherewith  he  may  die, 
and  he  die,  he  is  a  murderer:  tlie 
murderer  shall  surely  be  put  to

himself  shall  slay  tlie  murderer : 
when  he  meeteth  him,  he  shall  slay 
him.  But  if  he  thrust  him  of 
hatred,  or  hurl  at  him  by  laying 
of  wait,  that  he  die;  Or  in  enmity 
smite  him  with  his  hand,  that  he 
die :  he  that  smote  him  shall 
surely  be  put  to  death;  for  he  is  a 
murderer:  the  revenger  of  blood 
shall  slay  the  murderer  when  he 
meeteth  him.  Moreover,  ye  sliall 
j  take  no  satisfaction  lor  the  life  of 
a  murderer,  which  is  guilty  of 
death;  but  he  shall  surely  be  put 
to  death.

for  him.  and  rise  up  against  him, 
and  smite  him  mortally  that  he 
die,  and  fleeth  into  one  of  these 
cities;  Then  the  elders  of  his  city 
shall  send  and  fetch  him  thence, 
and  deliver  him  into  tlio  hand  of 
the  avenger  of  blood,  that  he  may 
die.  Thine  eye  shall  not  pity  him; 
but  thou  Shalt  put  away  tlie  guilt 
of  innocent  blood  from  Israel,  that 
it  may  go  well  with  thee. 

Prov.  xxviii,  17.  A  man  that

Infliction  of  Penalt?. 

1  Kings  ii,  31-33.  And  the  king 
said  unto  him,  Do  as  lie  hath  said, 
and  fall  upon  him,  and  bury  him; 
tliat  thou  mayest  take  away  the 
innocent  blood  which  Joab  shed 
from  me,  and  from  the  house  of 
my  father.  And  the  Lord  shall 
return  his  blood  upon  his  own 
head,  who  fell  upon  two  men  more 
righteous  and  better  than  he,  and 
slew  them  with  the  sword,  my 
father  David  not  knowing  thereof, 
to  wit,  Abner  the  son  of  Ner,  cap- 
tain of  the  host  of  Israel,  and 
Amasa  the  son  of  Jetlier,  captain 
of  the  host  of  Judah.  Their  blood 
shall  therefore  return  upon  the 
head  of  Joab,  and  upon  the  head 
of  his  seed  for  ever:  but  upon 
David,  and  upon  his  seed,  and 
upon  his  honsr,  and  upon  his

DIVINE  PENALTY. 
Gen.  iv,  9,  11-14.  23,  24.  And  the 
Lord  said  unto  Cain,  Where  is 
Abel  thy  brother?  And  he  said,  I 
know  not.  Am  I  my  brother's 
keeper?  And  now  art  thou  cursed 
from  the  earth,  which  liath  opened 
her  mouth  to  receive  thy  brother's 
blood  from  thy  hand.  When  thou 
tillest  the  ground,  it  shall  not 
henceforth  yield  unto  thee  her 
strength:  a  fugitive  and  a  vaga- 
bond Shalt  thou  be  in  the  eartti. 
And  Cain  said  unto  the  Lord,  My 
punishment  is  greater  than  I  can 
bear.  Behold,  thou  hast  driven 
me  out  this  day  from  the  face  of 
the  earth;  and  from  thy  flice  shall 
I  be  hid;  and  I  shall  be  a  fugitive 
and  a  vagabond  in  the  earth:  and 
it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  every 
one  that  tindeth  me  shall  slay  me. 
And  Lamech  said  unto  his  wives, 
Adah  and  Zillah,  hear  my  voice; 
ye  wives  of  Lamech,  hearken  unto 
my  speech:  for  I  have  slain  a  man 
to  my  wounding,  and  a  young 
man  to  my  hurt:  If  Cain  shall  be 
avenged  seven-fold,  truly  Lamech 
seventy  and  seven-fold. 

1  Kings  xxi,  18,  19.  Arise,  go

whicli  is  in  Samaria:  behold,  he  is 
in  the  vineyard  of  Naboth,  whither 
he  is  gone  down  to  possess  it. 
And  thou  shalt  speak  unto  him, 
saying,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Hast 
thou  killed,  and  also  taken  posses- 
sion? And  thou  shalt  speak  unto 
him,  saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
In  the  place  where  dogs  licked  the 
blood  of  Naboth  shall  dogs  lick 
thy  blood,  even  thine. 

2  Kings  xxiv,  3,  4.  Surely  at  the 
commandment  of  the  Lord  came 
this  upon  Judah,  to  remove  them 
out  of  his  sight,  for  the  sins  of 
Manasseh,  according  to  all  that  he 
did;  And  also  for  the  innocent 
blood  that  he  shed  (for  he  filled 
Jerusalem  with  innocent  blood.) 
which  the  Lord  would  not  pardon. 

Frov.  i,  18,  19.  And  they  lay

'Ezek.  vii,  23,  24.  Make  a  chain;

Wherefore  1  will  bring  the  worst

Kzek.  xxiv,  7,  8.  For  her  blood

upon  the  top  of  a  rock;  she  poured 
it  not  upon  the  ground,  to  cover  it

father  are  at  hand:  then  will  i  slay 
my  brother  Jacob.  And  tliese 
words  of  Esau  her  elder  son  were 
told  to  Kebekah.  And  she  sent 
and  called  Jacob  her  younger  son, 
and  said  unto  him.  Behold,  thy

doth  comfort  himself,  purposing 
to  kill  thee. 

Gen.  xxxvii,  18-20.  And  when 
they  saw  him  afar  off,  even  before 
he  came  near  unto  them,  they  con-

lished, nor  thy  kingdom:  where- 
lore  now  send  and  fetch  him  unto

Jonathan  answered  Saul  his 
father,  and  said  unto  him.  Where- 
fore shall  he  be  slain?  what  hath 
he  done?  And  Saul  cast  a  javelin 
at  him,  to  smite  him;  whereby

Ps.  X,  8,  10.  He  Bitteth  In  the 
lurking-places  of  tlie  villages;  in

thou  certainly  know  that  Baalis 
the  king  of  the  Ammonites  hath 
sent  Ishmael  the  son  of  Nethaniah 
to  slay  thee?  But  Gedaliah  the 
son  of  Ahikam  believed  them  not. 
Then  Johanan  the  son  of  Kureah 
spake  to  Gedaliah  In  Mizpah 
secretly,  saying.  Let  me  go,  I  pray 
thee,  and  I  will  slay  Ishmael  the 
son  of  Nethaniah,  and  no  man 
shall  know.it:  wherefore  should 
he  slay  thee,  that  all  the  Jews 
which  are  gathered  unto  thee 
should  be  scattered,  and  the 
remnant  in  Judah  perish?  But 
Gedaliah  the  son  of  Ahikam  said 
unto  Johanan  the  S(in  of  Kareali, 
Thou  Shalt  not  do  this  thing;  for 
thou  speakest  falsely  of  Ishmael.

Exod.  1, 17-21.  But  the  midwives 
feared  God,  and  did  not  as  the 
king  of  Egypt  commanded  tliem, 
but  saved  the  men-cliildren  alive. 
And  the  king  of  Eg3'pt  called  for 
the  midwives,  and  said  unto  them, 
Why  have  ye  done  this  thing,  and 
have  saved  the  men-children 
alive?  And  the  midwives  said 
unto  Pharaoh,  Because  tlie 
Hebrew  women  are  not  as  tlie 
Egyptian  women;  for  they  are 
lively,  and  are  delivered  ere  the 
midwives  come  in  unto  them. 
Therefore  God  dealt  well  with 
the  miilwives:  and  the  people 
multiiilied,  and  wa.xed  very 
mighty.  And  it  came  to  pass, 
because  the  midwives  feared  God, 
that  he  made  them  houses. 

1  Sam.  xix,  2, 11, 12.  But  Jona-

thee,  take  heed  to  thyself  until 
the  morning,  and  abide  in  a  secret 
place,  and  hid  tliyself.  Saul  also 
sent  messengers  unto  David's 
house,  to  watch  him,  and  to  slay 
him  in  the  morning;  and  Miclial. 
David's  wife,  told  him,  saying,  If 
thou  save  not  thy  life  to-night, 
to-morrow  thou  shalt  he  slain.  So 
Miclial  let  David  down  through

and  escaped.

while  he  yet  talked  with  them, 
behold,  the  messenger  came  down

And  they  shall  answer  and  say, 
Our  hands  have  not  shed  this

it.  Be  merciful,  O  Lord,  unto  thy

deemed, and  lay  not  innocent 
bljod  unto  thy  people  of  Israel's 
charge.  And  the  blood  shall  be

enemy,  neither  sought  his  harm: 
Then  the  congregation  shall  judge 
between  the  slayer  and  the  re- 
venger of  blood,  according  to 
these  judgments:  And  the  con-

out  of  the  hand  of  the  revenger  of

restore  him  to  the  city  of  his

he  sliall  abide  in  it  unto  the  death 
of  the  high  priest,  which  was 
anointed  with  the  holy  oiL 

Deut.  xix,  4-6.  And  this  is  the 
case  of  the  slayer  which  shall 
flee  thither,  that  he  may  live: 
Whoso  killeth  his  neighbour

CITIES  OP  REFUGE 
APPOINTED. 
Num.  XXXV,  12-15.  And  they 
shall  be  unto  you  cities  for  refuge 
from  the  avenger;  that  the  man- 
slayer  die  not,  until  he  stand  be- 
fore the  congregation  in  judgment. 
And  of  tliese  cities  which  ye  shall 
give,  six  cities  shall  ye  have  for 
refuge.  Ye  shall  give  three  cities 
on  tills  side  Jordan,  and  three 
cities  shall  ye  give  in  the  land  of 
Canaan,  which  shall  be  cities  of 
refuge.  Tliese  six  cities  shall  be 
a  refuge,  both  for  tho  children  of 
Israel,  and  for  the  stranger,  and 
for  the  sojourner  among  them; 
that  every  one  that  killeth  any 
person  unawares  may  flee  thither. 

Deut.  iv,  41,  42.  Then  Moses 
severed  three  cities  on  this  side 
Jordan,  toward  the  sun -rising; 
Tliat  the  slayer  might  flee  thither, 
which  should  kill  his  neighbour 
unawares,  and  hated  him  not  in 
times  past;  and  that,  fleeing  unto 
one  of  these  cities,  he  might 
live. 

Josh.  XX,  2,  3,  7-9.  Speak  to  the 
children  of  Israel,  saying,  Ap- 
point out  for  you  cities  of  refuge, 
whereof  I  spake  unto  you  by  the 
hand  of  Moses;  That  the  slayer 
that  killeth  any  person  unawares, 
and  unwittingly,  may  flee  thither: 
and  they  shall  be  your  refuge 
from  the  avenger  of  blood.  And 
they  appointed  Kedesh  in  Galilee 
hi  mount  Naphtali,  and  Shechem 
In  mount  Ephraim,  and  Kirjath- 
arba,  which  is  Hebron,  in  the 
mountain  of  Judah.  And  on  the 
other  side  Jordan,  by  Jericho 
eastward,  they  assigned  Bezer  in 
the  wilderness  upon  the  plain  out 
of  the  tribe  of  Reuben,  and  Ra- 
moth  In  Gilead  out  of  the  tribe 
of  Gad,  and  Golan  in  Bashan  out 
of  the  tribe  of  Manasseh.  These 
were  the  cities  appointed  for  all 
the  children  of  Israel,  and  for  the 
stranger  that  sojourneth  among 
them,  that  whosoever  killeth  any 
person  at  unawares  might  flee 
thither,  and  not  die  by  the  hand 
of  the  avenger  of  blood,  until  he 
stood  before  the  congregation 

Requlations  in  Them. 
Num.  XXXV,  26-28,  32.  But  if  the 
slayer  shall  at  any  time  come 
without  the  border  of  the  city  of 
his  refuge,  whither  he  was  fled; 
And  the  revenger  of  blood  find 
bim  without  the  borders  of  the 
city  of  his  refuge,  and  the  re- 
venger of  blood  kill  the  slayer;  he 
shall  not  be  guilty  of  blood:  Be- 
cause he  should  have  remained  in 
the  city  of  his  refuge  until  the 


death  of  the  nigh  priest:  but  after 
the  death  of  the  high  priest  the 
slayer  sliall  return  into  the  land 
of  his  possession.  And  ye  shall 
take  no  satisfaction  lor  him  that 
is  fled  to  the  city  of  his  refuge, 
that  he  should  come  again  to 
dwell  in  the  land,  until  the  death 
of  the  priest. 

Josh.  XX,  4-6.  And  when  he  that 
doth  flee  unto  one  of  those  cities 
shall  stand  at  the  entering  of  the 
gate  of  the  city,  and  shall  declare 
his  cause  in  the  ears  of  the  ehiers 
of  that  city,  they  shall  take  him 
into  the  city  unto  them,  and  give 
him  a  place,  that  he  may  dwell 
among  them.  And  if  the  avenger 
of  blood  pursue  after  him,  then 
they  shall  not  deliver  the  slayer 
up  into  his  hand;  because  he 
smote  his  neighbour  unwittingly, 
and  hated  him  not  beforetirae. 
And  he  shall  dwell  in  that  city, 
until  he  stand  before  the  congre- 
gation for  judgment,  and  until 
the  death  of  tlie  high  priest  that 
shall  be  in  those  days:  then  shall 
the  slayer  return,  and  come  unto 
his  own  city,  and  unto  his  own 
house,  unto  the  city  from  whence 
he  fled. 

LAW  "WITH  REGARD  TO 

ASSAULT. 
Exod.  xxi,  15,  18-27.  And  he 
that  smiteth  his  father  or  his 
mother  shall  surely  be  put  to 
death.  And  if  men  strive  to- 
gether, and  one  smite  another 
with  a  stone,  or  with  his  fist,  and 
he  die  not,  but  keepeth  his  bed; 
If  he  rise  again,  and  walk  abroad 
upon  his  stair,  then  shall  he  that 
smote  hinv  be  quit:  only  he  shall 
pay /or  the  loss  of  his  time,  and 
shall  cause  him  to  be  thoroughly 
healed.  And  if  a  man  smite  his 
servant,  or  his  maid,  with  a  rod, 
and  he  die  under  his  hand;  he  shall 
be  surely  punished.  Notwith- 
standing, if  he  continue  a  day  or 
two,  he  shall  not  be  punished:  for 
he  is  his  money.  If  men  strive, 
and  hurt  a  woman  with  child,  so 
that  her  fruit  depart  from  her, 
and  yet  no  mischief  follow:  he 
shall  be  surely  punislied,according 
as  the  woman's  husband  will  lay 
ui)on  him;  and  he  shall  pay  as  the 
judges  determine.  And  if  anij 
mischief  follow,  then  thou  shall 
give  life  for  life,  Eye  for  eye, 
tooth  for  tooth,  hand  for  hand, 
foot  for  foot,  Burning  for  burning, 
wound  for  wound,  stripe  for 
stripe.  And  if  a  man  smite  the 
eye  of  his  servant,  or  the  eye  of 
his  maid,  that  it  perish;  he  shall 
let  him  go  free  for  his  eye's  sake. 
And  if  he  smite  out  his  man-ser- 
vant's tooth,  or  his  maid-servant's 
tooth;  he  shall  let  him  go  free  for 
his  tooth's  sake.

Caeb  of  Moses. 

Exod.  ii,  11--.14.  And  it  came  to 
pass  in  those  days,  when  Moses 
was  grown,  that  he  went  out  un- 
to his  brethren,  and  looked  on 
their  burdens:  and  he  spi^d  an 
Egyptian  smiting  an  Hebrew,  one 
of  his  brethren.  And  he  looked 
this  way  and  that  way,  and  when 
he  saw  that  there  was  no  man,  he 
slew  the  Egyptian,  and  hid  him 
in  the  sand.  And  when  he  went 
out  the  second  day,  behold,  two 
men  of  the  Hebrews  strove  to- 
gether: and  he  said  to  him  that 
did  the  wrong.  Wherefore  smitest 
thou  thy  fellow?  And  he  said. 
Who  made  thee  a  prince  and  a 
judge  over  us?  Intendest  thou  to 
kill  me,  as  thou  killedst  the 
Egyptian?  And  Moses  feared, 
and  said,  Surely  this  thing  is 
known. 

Acts  vii,  25,  29.  For  he  supposed 
his  brethren  would  have  under- 
stood how  that  God  by  his  hand 
would  deliver  them;  but  they 
understood  not.  Then  fled 
Moses  at  this  saying,  and  was  a 
stranger  in  the  land  of  Midian, 
where  he  begat  two  sons.

Judges  ix,  25.  And  the  men  of 
Shechem  set  liers  in  wait  for  him

L-^ke  xii,  39,  And  this  know, 
that  if  the  goodman  of  the  house

his  house  to  be  broken  through.

substance  of  his  house. 

Judffes,   xvii,    2,   3.     And   he 

[Mlcah]  said  unto  his  mother.  The 
eleven  hundred  shekels  of  silver 
that  were  taken  from  thee,  about 
which  thou  cursedst,  and  spakest 
of  also  in  mine  ears,  behold,  the 
silver  is  with  me;  I  took  it.  And 
his  mother  said.  Blessed  be  thou 
of  the  LoBD,  my  son.  And  when 
he  had  restored  the  eleven  hun- 
dred 67<eA;eZs  of  silver  to  his  mother, 
his  mother  said,  1  had  wholly  de- 
dicated the  silver  unto  the  Lord 
from  my  hand  for  my  son,  to  make 
a  graven  image,  and  a  molten 
imtge:  now  therefore  I  will  restore 
it  unto  thee.

seek  to  ,please  the  poor,  and  his 
hands  shall  restore  their  goods. 
That  which  he  laboured  for  shall 
he  restore,  and  shall  not  swallow 
it  down:  according  to  his  substance 
shall  the  restitution  be,  and  he 
shall  not  rejoice  therein. 

Luke  xix,  8.  And  Zaccheus 
stood,  and  si-id  unto  the  Lord,  Be- 
hold, Lord,  the  half  of  my  goods  I 
give  to  the  poor;  and  if  I  have 
taken  any  thing  from  any  man  by 
false  accusation,  I  restore  him 
tour-fold.

2.— COVETOUSNESS  DE- 
SCRIBED AND   FORHIDDEN. 

Deut.  V,  21.  Neither  shalt  thou 
desire  thy  neighbour's  v/ife,  nei- 
ther Shalt  thou  covet  thy  neigh- 
bour's house,  his  field,  or  his  man- 
servant, or  his  maid-servant,  his 
ox,  or  his  ass,  or  any  thing  that  is 
thy  neighbour's. 

Prov.  XV,  27.  He  that  is  greedy 
of  gain  troubleth  his  own  house: 
but  he  that  hateth  gifts  shall  livei 

Isa.  Ivii,  17.  For  the  Iniquity  of 
his  covetousness  was  I  wroth, 
and  smote  him:  I  hid  me,  aufl  was 
wroth,  and  he  went  on  frowardly 
in  the  way  of  his  heart. 

Jer.  11, 13.  O  thou  that  dwellest 
upon  many  waters,  abundant  in 
treasures,  thine  end  is  come,  and 
the  mea.^ure  of  thy  covetousness. 

Luke  xii,  15.  And  he  said  unto 
them,  Take  heed,  and  beware  of 
covetousness:  for  a  man's  lite  con- 
sisteth  not  in  the  abundance  of  the 
tilings  which  he  possesseth. 

1  Qor.  X,  24.  Let  no  man  seek 
his  own,  but  every  man  another's 
wealt/i. 


PhU.  n,  4.  Look  not  every  man 
on  his  own  things,  but  every  man 
also  on  the  things  of  others. 

1  Tim.  vl,  9, 10.  But  they  that 
will  be  rich  fall  into  temptation, 
and  a  snare,  and  into  many  foolish 
and  hurtful  lusts,  which  drown 
men  in  destruction  and  perdition. 
For  the  love  of  money  is  the  root 
of  all  evil;  which  while  some  co- 
veted alter,  they  have  erred  from 
the  faith,  and  pierced  themselves 
through  with  many  sorrows. 

Jude,  11.  Woe  unto  them!  for 
they  have  gone  in  the  way  of  Cain, 
and  ran  greedily  after  the  error  of 
Balaam  for  reward,  and  perished 
in  the  gainsaying  of  Core. 

Covetousness  often  Seen  and 
Condemned. 

1  Kings  xxi,  I,  2,  15, 16.  And  it 
came  to  pass  after  these  tilings, 
that  Naboth  the  Jezreelite  had  a 
vineyard,  which  was  in  Jezreel, 
hard  by  the  palace  of  Ahal)  king  of 
Samaria.  And  Ahab  spake  unto 
Naboth,  saying,  Give  me  thy  vine- 
yard, that  I  may  have  it  for  a 
garden  of  herbs,  because  it  is  near 
unto  my  house:  audi  will  give 
thee  for  it  a  better  vineyard  than 
it;  or,  if  it  seem  good  to  thee,  I 
will  give  thee  the  worth  of  it  in 
money.  And  it  came  to  pass, 
when  Jezebel  heard  that  Naboth 
was  stoned,  and  was  dead,  that 
Jezebel  said  to  Ahab,  Arise,  take 
possession  of  the  vineyard  of  Na- 
both the  Jezrelite,  which  he  re- 
fused to  give  thee  for  money:  for 
Naboth  is  not  alive,  but  dead.  And 
it  came  to  pass,  when  Ahab  heard 
that  Naboth  was  dead,  that  Ahab 
rose  up  to  go  down  to  the  vine- 
yard of  Naboth  the  Jezreelite,  to 
take  possession  of  it. 

2  Ghron.  xvi,  10.  Then  Asa  was 
•wroth  with  the  seer,  and  put  him 
in  a  prison-house;  for  he  icas  in  a 
rage  with  him  because  of  this 
thi?ig.  And  Asa  oppressed  some 
of  the  people  the  same  time. 

Prov.  xxii,  22.  Rob  not  the  poor, 
because  he  is  poor;  neither  oppress 
the  afflicted  in  the  gate. 

Isa.  xxxii,  7.  The  instruments 
also  of  the  churl  are  evil:  he  de- 
viseth  wicked  devices  to  destroy 
the  poor  with  lying  words,  even 
when  the  needy  speaketh  right. 

Lam.  ill,  34-36.  To  crush  under 
his  feet  all  the  prisoners  of  the 
earth.  To  turn  agkie  the  right  of 
a  man  before  the  face  of  the  most 
High,  To  subvert  a  man  ui  ids 
cause,  the  Lord  approveth  not. 

Amos  viii,  4.  Hear  this,  O  ye 
that  swallow  up  the  needy,  even 
to  make  the  poor  ol  the  land  to 
fall. 

Mlcah,  lii,  9.  Hear  this,  I  pray 
you,  ye  heads  of  the  liouse  of 
Jacob,  and  princes  of  the  house  of 


Israel,  that  abhor  Judgment,  and 
pervert  all  equity, 

Ifab.  ii,  5.  Yea  also,  becaxise  he 
transgresseth  by  wine,  he  is  a 
proud  man,  neither  keepeth  at 
home,  who  enlargeth  his  desire  as 
hell,  and  is  as  death,  and  cannot 
be  satisfied,  but  gatheretli  unto 
him  all  nations,  and  heapeth  unto 
him  all  people. 

LuJce  xvl,  14.  And  the  Pharisees 
also,  who  were  covetous,  heard  all 
these  things;  and  they  derided 
him. 

Eph.  V.  5 Nor  covetous 

man,  who  is  an  idolater 

2  Peter  ii,  15.  "Which  have  for-

PUNISHMEXT  FROM  Gon. 

Job  XX,  19-22.  Because  he  hath 
oppressed  and  hath  forsaken  the 
poor,  because  he  hath  violently 
taken  away  an  house  which  he 
builded  not;  Surely  he  shall  not 
feel  quietness  in  his  belly,  he  shall 
not  save  of  that  which  he  desired. 
There  shall  none  of  his  meat  be 
loft;  therefore  shall  no  man  look 
for  his  goods.  In  the  fulness  of 
his  sufficiency  he  shall  be  in 
straits:  every  hand  of  the  wicked 
shall  come  upon  him. 

Job  xxvii,  13-15.  This  is  the 
portion  of  a  wicked  man  with  God, 
and  the  heritage  of  oppressors, 
which  they  shall  receive  of  the 
Almightj'.  If  his  children  be 
multiplied,  it  is  for  the  sword;  and 
his  offripring  shall  not  be  satisfied 
with  bread.  Those  that  remain 
of  him  shall  be  buried  in  death; 
and  his  widows  shall  not  weep. 

P5.  ciii,  6.  The  Lord  executeth 
rlgliteousness  and  judgment  for 
all  that  are  oppressed. 

Frov.  xxii,  16,  23.  He  that  op- 
presseth  the  poor  to  increase  his 
riches,  and  he  that  giveth  to  the 
rich,  shall  surely  come  to  want. 
For  the  Lord  will  plead  their 
cause,  and  spoil  the  soul  of  those 
that  spoiled  them. 

Isa.  XXX,  12,  13.  Wherefore  thus 
saith  the  Holy  One  of  Israel,  Be- 
cause ye  despise  this  word,  and 
trust  in  oppression  and  perverse- 
uess,  and  stay  thereon:  Therefore 
this  iniquity  shall  be  to  you  as  a 
breach  ready  to  fall  swelling  out 
In  a  high  wall,  whose  breaking 
Cometh  suddenly  at  an  instant.

3.— INSTANCES  OF  DIS- 
HONESTY. 
False  Weights  and  Measubes. 
Lev.  xix,  35, 36.  Ye  shall  do  no 


LAW, 

unrighteousness  in  judgment,  tn 
mete-yard,  in  weight,  or  in  meas- 
ure. Just  balances,  just  weights, 
a  just  ephah,  and  a  just  bin,  shall 
ye  have:  I  am  the  Loud  your  God. 
which  brouglit  you  out  of  the 
land  of  Egypt. 

Lev.  xxvii,  25.  And  all  thy 
estimations  shall  be  according  to 
the  shekel  of  the  sanctuary: 
twenty  gerahs  shall  be  the  shekel, 

Deut.  XXV,  13-16.  Thou  shalt  not 
have  in  thy  bag  divers  weights, 
a  great  and  a  small.  Thou  shalt 
not  have  in  thine  house  divers 
measures,  a  great  and  a  small. 
But  thou  shalt  have  a  perfect  and 
just  weight,  a  perfect  and  just  i 
measure  shalt  thou  have;  that 
thy  days  may  be  lengthened  in  the 
land  which  the  Lord  thy  God 
giveth  thee.  For  all  that  do  such 
things,  and  all  that  do  unright- 
eously, are  an  abomination  unto 
the  Lord  thy  God. 

Prov.  xi,  1.  A  false  balance  is 
abomination  to  the  Lord:  but  a 
just  weight  is  his  delight. 

Frov.  xvi,  11.  A  just  weight  and 
balance  are  the  Lord's;  all  the 
weights  of  the  bag  are  his  work. 

Frov.  XX,  10^  23.  Divers  weights, 
and  divers  measures,  both  of 
them  are  alike  abomination  to 
the  Lord.  Divers  weights  are  an 
abomination  unto  the  Lord;  and 
a   false  balance  is  not  good. 

Ezek.  xlv,  10-12.  Ye  shall  have 
just  balances,  and  a  just  ephah, 
and  a  just  bath.  The  ephah  and 
the  bath  shall  be  of  one  measure, 
that  the  bath  may  contain  the 
tenth  part  of  an  homer,  and  the 
ephah  the  tenth  part  of  an  homer; 
the  measure  thereof  shall  be  after 
the  homer.  And  the  shekel  s?u:ll 
be  twenty  gerahs:  twenty  shekels, 
five  and  twenty  shekels,  fifteen 
shekels,  shall  be  your  maneh. 

ffosea  xii,  7.  He  is  a  merchant, 
the  balances  of  deceit  are  in  his 
hand:  he  loveth  to  oppress. 

Mlcah  vi,  10,  11.  Are  there  yet 
the  treasures  of  wickedness  in  the 
house  of  the  wicked,  and  the 
scant  measure  that  is  abominable? 
Shall  I  count  them  pure  with  the 
wicked  balances,  and  with  the 
bag  of  deceitful  weights? 

BRIBERY. 

Exod.  xxiii.  8.  And  thou  shalt 
take  no  gift:  for  the  gift  blindeth 
the  wise,  and  perverteth  the  w^ords 
of  the  righteous. 

Beut.  xvi,  19.  Thou  shalt  not 
wrest  judgment;  thou  shalt  not 
respect  persons,  neither  take  a 
gift 

1  Sam  viii,  3.  And  his  sons 
walktnl  not  in  his  ways,  but  turn- 
ed aside  after  lucre,  and  took 
bribes,  and  perverted  judgment. 

Prov.  xvli,  23.  A  wicked  man

Acts  xxiv,  26,  27.  He  hoped  also 
that  money  should  have  been 
given  him  of  Paul,  that  he  might 
loose  him:  wherefore  he  sent  for 
him  tiie  oftener,  and  communed 
with  him.  But  after  two  years 
Porcius  Festus  came  into  Felix' 
room:  and  Felix,  willing  to  shew 
the  Jews  a  pleasure,  left  Paul 
bound. 


1  Sam.  xii,  3-5.  Behold,  here  I 
am:  witness  against  me  before  tho 
Lord,  and  before  his  anointed: 
whose  ox  have  I  taken?  or  whose 
ass  have  I  taken?  or  whom  have 
I  defrauded?  whom  have  I  op- 
pressed?  or  of  whose  hand  have 
I  received  any  bribe  to  blind 
mine  eyes  therewith?  and  I  will 
restore  it  you.  And  they  said. 
Thou  hast  not  defrauded  us,  nor 
oppressed  us,  neither  hast  thou 
taken  ought  of  any  man's  hand. 
And  he  said  unto  them.  The 
Lord  is  witness  against  you,  and 
his  anointed  is  witness  this  day, 
that  ye  have  not  found  ought  in 
my  hand.  And  they  answered. 
He  is  witness.

hands  from  holding  of  bribes,

LAW  OF  USURY. 

Exod.  xxii,  25.  If  thou  lend 
money  to  any  of  my  people  that 
is  poor  by  thee,  thou  slialt  not  be 
to  him  as  an  usurer,  neither  shalt 
thou  lay  upon  him  usury. 

Lev.  XXV,  36,  37.  Take  thou  no 
usury  of  him,  or  increase:  but  fear 
thy  God;  that  thy  brother  may 
live  with  thee.  Thou  shalt  not 
give  him  thy  money  upon  usury, 
nor  lend  him  thy  victuals  for  iur 
crease. 

Deut.  xxiii,  19,  20.  Thou  shalt' 
not  lend  upon  usury  to  thy  brother; 
usury  of  money,  usury  of  victuals, 
usury  of  any  tiling  that  is  lent 
upon  usury.  Unto  a  stranger 
thou  mayest  lend  upon  usury,  but 
unto  thy  brother  thou  shalt  not 
lend  upon  usury;  that  the  Lord 
thy  God  may  bless  thee  in  all 
that  thou  settest  thine  hand  to, 
in  the  land  whither  thou  goest 
to  possess  it.

Neh.  V,  10, 12.  I  likewise,  and 
my  brethren,  and  my  servants, 
might  exict  of  them  money  and 
corn:  I  pray  you,  let  us  leave  off 
this  usury.  Then  said  they,  We 
will  restore  them,  and  will  require 
nothing  of  them;  so  will  Ave  do  as 
thou  sayest.  Then  I  called  tlie 
priests,  and  took  an  oath  of  thern, 
that  th!'y  should  do  according  to 
this  promise. 

Neh.  V,  7.  Then  I  consulted  with 
myself  and  I  rebuked  the  nobles, 
and  the  rulers,  and  said  unto 
them,  Ye  exact  usury,  every  one 
of  ills  brother.  And  I  set  a  great 
as.senibly  against  them. 

Ps.x\,  5.  He  that  putteth  not

Jer.  XV,  10.  Woe  is  me,  my 
mother,  that  thou  hast  born  me  a 
man  of  strife  and  a  man  of  con- 
tention to  the  whole  eartli!  I  have

haVe  lent  to  me  on  usury;  yet

Deut.  xxii,  1-3.  Thou  Shalt  not 
Bee  thy  brother's  ox  or  his  sheep 
go  astray,  and  hide  thyself  from 
them;  thou  shall  in  any  case  bring

And  if  thy  brother  be  not  nigh 
unto  thee,  or  if  tliou  know  him 
rot;  then  thou  shalt  bring  it  imto 
thine  own  house,  and  it  shall  be 
with  thee  until  thy  brother  seek 
after  it,  and  tliou  shalt  restore  it 
to  him  again.  In  ly^e  manner 
shalt  thou  do  with  his  ass;  and  so 
slialt  thou  do  with  his  raiment; 
and  with  all  lost  thing  of  thy 
brother's,  which  he  hath  lost,  and 
thou  hast  found,  shalt  thou  do 
likewise:  thou  mayest  not  bide 
thyself. 

Gen.  xHi,  28.  35.  And  he  said 
tinto  his  bretliren.  My  money  is 
restored;  and,  lo,  it  is  even  in  my 
Back:  and  their  heart  failed  them, 
and  thev  were  afraid,  saying  one 


to  another.  What  is  this  that  God 
hath  done  unto  us?  And  it  came 
to  pass,  as  they  emptied  their 
sacks,  that,  beliold,  every  man's 
bundle  of  money  teas  in  his  sack: 
and  when  both  they  and  their 
father  saw  the  bundles  of  money, 
they  were  afraid. 

Gen.  xliii,  12,  19-24.  And  take 
double  money  in  your  hand:  and 
the  money  that  was  brought 
again  in  tlie  mouth  of  your  sacks, 
carry  it  again  in  your  hand;  per- 
adventure  it  was  an  oversight. 
And  they  came  near  to  the 
steward  of-  Joseph's  house,  and 
they  communed  with  him  at  the 
door  of  the  house.  And  he  said, 
O  sir,  we  came  indeed  down  at 
the  first  time  to  buy  food:  And  it 
came  to  pass,  when  we  came  to 
the  inn,  that  we  opened  our  sacks, 
and,  behold,  every  man's  money 
was  in  the  mouth  of  liis  sack,  our 
money  in  full  weight;  and  we 
have  brought  it  again  in  our 
hand.  And  other  money  have  we 
brought  down  in  our  hands  to  buy 
food:  we  cannot  tell  who  put  our 
money  in  our  sacks.  And  he  said. 
Peace  be  to  you,  fear  not;  your 
God,  and  the  God  of  your  fatlier, 
hath  given  you  treasure  in  your 
sacks:  I  had  your  money.  And  he 
brought  Simeon  out  unto  them. 
And  the  man  brought  the  men  into 
Joseph's  house,  and  gave  the''n 
water,  and  they  washed  their 
feet;  and  he  gave  their  asses  pro- 
vender. 

Gen.  xllv,  6-8.  And  he  overtook 
them,  and  he  spake  unto  them 
these  same  words.  And  they  said 
unto  him.  Wherefore  saith  my 
lord  these  words?  God  forbid 
that  thy  servants  should  do  ac- 
cording to  this  thing.  Behold, 
the  money  which  we  found  in  our 
sacks'  mouths  we  brought  again 
unto  thee  out  of  the  land  of 
Canaan:  how  then  should  we  steal 
out  of  thy  lord's  house  silver  or

PRIMOGENITURE. 

Gen.  XXV,  5.  31-34.  And  Abra- 
ham gave  all  that  he  had  unto 
Isaac.  And  Jacub  said.  Sell  me 
this  day  thy  birthright.  And 
E.^au  said.  Behold,  I  am  at  the 
point  to  die;  and  what  profit  shall 
this  birthright  do  to  me?  And 
Jacob  said,  Swear  to  me  this  day; 
and  he  sware  unto  him :  and  he 
sold  his  birthright  unto  Jacob. 
Then  Jacob  gave  Esau  bread  and 
pottage  of  lentiles;  and  he  did  eat 
and  drink,  and  rose  up,  and  went 
his  way:  thus  Esau  despised  his 
birthright. 

Gen.   Xliii,  33.    And   they   sat 
before  him,  the  flrst-bom  accord- 
840 


Ing  to  his  birthright,  and  the 
youngest  according  Ut  his  youth: 
and  the  men  marvelled  one  at 
another. 

Gen.  xlviil,  17-20.  And  when 
Joseph  saw  that  his  father  laid 
his  right  hand  upon  the  head  of 
Ephraim,  it  displeased  him:  and 
he  held  up  his  father's  hand,  to 
remove  it  from  Ephraim's  head 
unto  Manasseh's  head.  And 
Joseph  said  unto  his  father.  Not 
so,  my  father:  for  tliis  is  the  first- 
born; put  thy  right  hand  upon  his 
head.  And  his  father  refused,  and 
said,  I  know  it,  my  son,  I  know 
It:  he  also  shall  become  a  people, 
and  he  also  shall  be  great;  but 
truly  his  younger  brother  shall  be 
greater  tlian  he,  and  his  seed 
shall  become  a  multitude  of  na- 
tions. And  he  blessed  them  that 
day,  saying.  In  thee  shall  Israel 
bless,  saying,  God  make  thee  as 
Ephraim,  and  as  Manasseh.  And 
he  set  Ephraim  before  Manasseh. 

Deut.  xxi,  17.  But  he  shall  ac- 
knowledge the  son  of  the  hated 
for  the  first-born,  by  giving  him  a 
double  portion  of  all  that  he  hath: 
for  he  is  the  beginning  of  his 
strength;  the  right  of  the  first- 
born is  his. 

1  Qhron.  v,  1,  2.  Now  the  sons 
of  Reuben,  the  first-born  of  Israel, 
(for  he  was  the  first-born ;  but, 
forasmuch  as  he  defiled  his  fa- 
ther's bed,  his  birthright  Avas 
given  unto  the  sons  of  Joseph  the 
son  of  Israel:  and  the  genealogy 
is  not  to  be  reckoned  after  the 
birthright.  For  Judah  prevailed 
above  his  brethren,  and  of  liim 
came  the  chief  ruler;  but  the 
bii  tliright  was  Joseph's.) 

1  Ghron.  xxvi,  10.  Also  Hosah, 
of  the  children  of  Merari,  had 
sons ;  Simri  the  chief  (for  though 
he  was  not  the  first-born,  yet  his 
father  made  him  the  chief.) 

ENTAIL. 
Num.  xxvii,  1-11.  Then  came 
the  daughters  of  Zelophehad,  the 
son  of  llepher,  the  son  of  CJilead, 
the  son  of  Machir,  the  son  of 
Manasseh.  of  the  families  of  Man- 
asseh the  son  of  Joseph:  and 
these  are  the  names  of  his  daugh- 
ters, Mahlah,  Noah,  and  lloglah, 
and  Milcah,  and  Tirzah.  And 
they  stood  before  Moses,  and  be- 
fore Eleazar  the  priest,  and  before 
the  princes  and  all  the  congrega- 
tion, &y  tlie  door  of  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation,  saying.  Our 
father  died  in  the  wilderness,  and 
he  was  not  in  the  company  of 
them  that  gathered  theuiseivea 
together  against  the  Lord  in  the 
company  of  Korah ;  but  died  in 
his  own  sin,  and  had  no  sons. 
Why  should  the  name  of  our 
tathei*  be  done  away  from  among 
his  family,  because  he  hath  no 


Bon?  Give  nnto  ns  therefore  a 
possession  among  the  brethren  of 
our  f  ither.  And  Moses  brought 
their  cause  before  the  Lord.  And 
the  Lord  spnke  unto  Moses,  say- 
ing, The  daughters  of  Zelophehad 
speak  right:  thou  shalt  surely 
give  them  a  possession  of  an  in- 
heritance among  their  fatlier's 
brethren;  and  tliou  shalt  cause 
the  inheritance  of  their  father  to 
pass  unto  them.  And  thou  shalt 
speak  unto  the  children  of  Israel, 
Baying,  if  a  man  die,  and  have  no 
son,  then  ye  shall  cause  his  in- 
heritance to  pass  unto  his  daugh- 
ter. And  it  he  have  no  daugliter, 
then  ye  sliall  give  his  inheritance 
unto  his  brethren.  And  if  he 
have  no  brethren,  then  ye  shall 
give  his  inheritance  unto  his  fa- 
ther's bretliren.  And  if  his  fa- 
ther have  no  brethren,  then  ye 
sliall  give  his  inheritance  unto  his 
kinsman  that  is  next  to  him  of  his 
family,  and  he  shall  possess  it : 
and  it  shall  be  unto  the  children 
of  Israel  a  statute  of  judgment,  as 
the  Lord  commanded  Moses. 

Num.  xxxvi,  1-9.  And  the  chief 
fathers  of  tlie  families  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Gilead,  the  son  of  Machir, 
the  son  of  Manasseh,  of  the  fami- 
lies of  the  sons  of  Jos'ph,  came 
pear,  and  spake  before  Moses,  and 
before  the  princes,  the  chief  fa- 
thers of  the  children  of  Israel: 
And  they  said,  The  Lord  com- 
taanded  my  lord  to  give  the- land 
for  an  inheritance  by  lot  to  the 
children  of  Israel:  and  my  lord 
was  commanded  by  the  Lord  to 
give  the  inh'^ritance  of  Zelophe- 
had our  brother  unto  his  daugh- 
ters. And  if  they  be  married  to 
any  of  the  sons  of  the  other  tribes 
of  the  children  of  Israel,  then 
shall  their  inheritance  be  taken 
from  the  inlieritance  of  our  ta- 
thers,  and  shall  be  put  to  the  in- 
heritance of  the  tribe  whereunto 
they  I  re  received  :  so  shall  it  be 
taken  from  the  lot  of  our  inherit- 
ance. And  when  the  jubilee  of 
the  children  of  Israel  shall  be, 
then  shall  their  Inheritance  be  put 
unto  the  inheritance  of  the  tribe 
whereunto  they  are  received :  so 
shall  their  inheritance  be  taken 
away  from  the  inheritance  of  the 
tribe  of  our  fathers.  And  Moses 
commanded  the  children  of  Israel, 
according  to  the  word  of  the 
Loud,  saying.  The  tribe  of  the 
sons  of  Josei)h  hath  said  well. 
This  is  the  thing  which  the  Lord 
doth  command  concerning  the 
daughters  of  Zelophehad,  saying, 
Let  them  muriy  to  whom  they 
think  best,  only  to  the  family  of 
the  tribe  of  their  father  shall  they

ance of  the  children  of  Israel  re- 
move from  triiie  to  tribe;  for  every

and  the  owner  ol  it  shall  accept

unto  the  owner  thereof.  If  it  be 
torn  in  pieces,  then  let  him  bring

And  if  a  man  borrow  ought  of  his

Deut.  XV,  1-5.  At  the  end  of

owed  five  hundred  pence,  and  the 
other  fifty.  And  Avhen  they  had 
nothing  to  pay,  he  frankly  forgave 
them  both.  Tell  me  Therefore, 
which  of  them  will  love  him  most? 
Simon  answered  and  said,  I  sup-

Thou  hast  rightly  judged. 

LAW  OF  PLEDGES.

thou  Shalt  deliver  it  unto  him  by 
that  the  sun  goeth  down. 

Deut.  xxiv,  6,  10-13.  No  man 
shall  take  the  nether  or  the  upper 
millstone  to  pledge:  for  he  taketh 
a  man's  life  to  pledge.  When 
thou  dost  lend  thy  brother  any 
thing,  thou  shalt  not  go  into  his 
house  to  fetch  his  pledge.  Thou 
shalt  stand  abroad,  and  the  man 
to  whom  thou  dost  lend  shall 
bring  out  the  pledge  abroad  unto 
thee.  And  it  the  man  be  poor, 
thou  shalt  not  sleep  with  his 
pledge:  In  any  case  thou  shalt 
clelivt,T  him  the  pledge  again  when 
the  sun  goeth  down,  that  he  may 
sleep  in  his  own  raiment,  and 
bless  thee :  and  it  shall  be  righ- 
teousness unto  thee  before  the 
Lord  thy  God.

said.  What  pledge  shall  I  give 
thee?  And  she  said.  Thy  signet, 
and  thy  bracelets,  and  thy  stuff 
that  is  in  thine  hand:  and  he  gave 
it  her,  and  came  in  unto  her;  and 
she  conceived  by  him.  And  Ju-

within  thee  shall  get  up  above 
thee  very  high,  and  thou  shalt 
come  down  very  low.  He  shall

and  hath  a  servant,  is  better  tliau 
he  that  honoureth  himself,  and 
lacketh  bread.

greater,  he  that  sittethat  meat,  or 
he  that  serveth?  is  not  he  that  sit- 
teth  at  meat?  but  I  am  among  you 
as  he  that  serveth. 

John  xiii,  16.  Verily,  verily,  I

tliat  is  sent  greater  than  he  that 
sent  him.

with  liim. 

CONTRACT. 

Gen.-xxx, 27-29,31-34.  And  Laban 

said  unto  him,  1  pray  thee  if  1  have 


found  favour  in  thine  eyes,  tarry: 
for  I  have  learned  by  experience 
that  the  Lord  hath  blessed  me  for 
thy  sake.  And  he  said,  Appoint 
me  thy  wages,  and  I  will  give  it. 
And  he  said  unto  him,  Thou 
knowest  how  I  have  served  thee, 
and  how  thy  cattle  was  with  me. 
And  he  said,  What  shall  I  give 
thee?  And  Jacob  said,  Thou  shalt 
not  give  me  any  thing.  If  thou 
wilt  do  this  thing  lor  me,  I  will 
again  feed  and  keep  thy  flock. 
I  will  pass  through  all  thy  flock 
to-day,  removing  from  thence  all 
the  speckled  and  spotted  cattle, 
and  all  the  brown  cattle  among 
the  sheep,  and  the  spotted  and 
speckled  among  the  goats;  and  of 
such  shall  be  my  hire.  So  shall 
my  righteousness  answer  for  me 
in  time  to  come,  when  it  shall 
come  for  my  liire  before  thy  face: 
every  one  that  is  not  speckled  and 
spotted  among  the  goats,  and 
brown  among  the  sheep,  that  shall 
be  counted  stolen  with  me.  And 
Laban  said,  Behold,  I  would  it 
might  be  according  to  thy  word.

he  may  rest,  till  he  shall  accom-

upon  the  faithful  of  the  land,  that 
they  may  dwell  with  me:  he  that 
walketh  in  a  perfect  way,  he  shall 
serve  me.  He  that  workelh  de- 
ceit shall  not  dwell  within  my 
house:. he  that  telleth  lies  shall  not 
tarry  in  my  sight. 

WAGES. 
Gen.  xxxi,  7, 41.  And  your  fathei 
hath  deceived  me,  and  changed 
my  wages  ten  times:  but  God  suf- 
fered him  not  to  hurt  me.  Thus 
have  I  been  twenty  years  in  thy 
house:  I  served  thee  fourteen  years 
for  thy  two  daughters,  and  six 
years  for  thy  cattle:  and  thou  hast 
changed  my  wages  ten  times. 

Lev.  xix,  13  Thou  shalt  not  de-

night  until  the  morning.

is  poor  and  needy,"  rohether  he  be 
of  tliy  brethren,  or  of  thy  strangers 
that  are  in  thy  land  within  ihy 
gates:  At  his  day  thou  shalt  give 
him  his  hire,  neither  shall  the  sun 
go  down  upon  it;  for  he  is  poor, 
and  settelh  his  heart;  upon  it:  lest 
he  cry  against  thee  unto  the  Lord, 
and  it  be  sin  unto  thee. 

Jer.  xxii,  13.  Woe  unto  him  that

Art  thou  Ziba?  And  he  said,  Thy 
servant  is  he.  Then  the  king 
called  to  Ziba,  Saul's  servant,  and 
said  unto  him,  1  have  given  unto 
thy  master's  son  all  that  pertained 
to  Saul,  and  to  all  his  house. 
Thou  therefore,  and  thy  sons,  and 
thy  servants,  shall  till  the  land  for 
him,  and  thou  shalt  bring  in  the 
fruits  that  thy  master's  son  may 
have  food  to  eat:  but  Mephibosh- 
etli  thy  master's  son  shall  eat 
bread  alway  at  my  table.  Now 
Ziba  had  fifteen  sons  and  twenty 
servants.  Then  said  Ziba  unto 
the  king.  According  to  all  that  my 
lord  the  king  hath  commanded  his 
servant,  so  shall  thy  servant  do. 
As  for  Mephibosheth,  said  the 
king,  he  shall  eat  at  my  table,  as 
one  of  the  king's  sons.  And 
Mephibosheth  had  a  young  son,

brought  they  unto  the  place 
where  the  officers  were,  every 
man  according  to  his  charge.

shall  make  ruler  over  his  house- 
hold, to  give  them  their  portion  of 
meat  in  due  season?  Blessed  is 
that  servant,  whom  his  lord,  when

and  he  served  him:  and  he  made 
him  overseer  over  his  house,  and 
all  that  he  had  he  put  into  his

time  are  we  brought  in;  that  \\:\ 
may  seek  occasion  against  us,  and 
lall  upon  us,  and  take  us  for  bond- 
men, and  our  asses. 

Gen.  xliv,  9-12,  16,  17.  With 
whomsoever  of  thy  servants  It  be 
found,  both  let  him  die,  and  we 
also  will  be  my  lord's  bond-men. 
And  he  said.  Now  also  let  it  6«

with  whom  it  is  found  shall  be  my 
servant:  and  ye  shall  be  blameless.

Benjamin's  sack.  And  Judali 
said,  What  shall  we  say  unto  ray 
lord?  what  shall  we  speak?  or 
how  shall  we  clear  ourselves? 
God  hatli  found  out  the  iniquity 
of  thy  servants:  behold,  we  are 
my  lord's  servants,  both  we,  and 
he  also  with  whom  the  cup  is 
found.  And  he  said,  God  forbid 
that  I  should  do  so:  but  the  man 
In  whose  hand  the  cup  is  found, 
ho  shall  be  my  servant;  and  as

Shall  be  of  the  heathen  that  are 
round  about  you;  of  tliem  shall

And  ye  shall  take  them  as  an  in- 
heritance for  your  children  after 
you,  to  inherit  tliem  for  a  posses-

deemed our  bretliren  the  Jews 
lohich  were  sold  unto  the  lieathen; 
and  will  ye  even  sell  your  breth- 
ren? or  shall  they  be  sold  unto 
us?  Tlien  held  they  their  peace, 
and  found  nothing  to  answer. 

Ezelc.  •xvii,  13.  Javan,  Tubal, 
and  Meshech,  they  were  thy 
merchants:  they  traded  the  per- 
sons of  men  and  vessels  of  brass 
in  thy  market. 

Amos,  viii,  6.  That  we  may  buy 
the  poor  for  silver,  and  the  needy 
for  a  pair  of  shoes;  yea,  and  sell 
the  refuse  of  the  wheat? 

VOLtTNTARY  SERVITUDE. 

Exod.  xxi,  5.  And  if  the  servant 
shall  plainly  say,  I  love  my  master, 
my  wife,  and  my  children,  I  will 
not  go  out  free. 

Deut.  XV,  16,  17.  And  it  shall 
be,  if  he  say  unto  thee.  I  will  not 
go  away  from  thee;  (bec;inse  he 
loveth  thee  and  thine  house,  be- 
cause ho  is  well  with  thee;)  Then 
thou  Shalt  take  an  awl,  and  thrust 
it  through  his  ear  unto  the  door, 
and  he  shall  be  thy  servant  for 
ever:  and  also  unto  thy  maid- 
servant thou  Shalt  do  likewise. 

PROTECTIVE  LAW. 

Fzod.  xxi,  20,  21,  26.  27.  32.  And 
if  a  man  smite  his  servant,  or  his 
maid,  with  a  rod,  and  he  die  under 
his  hand;  he  shall  be  surely  pun- 
ished. Notwithstanding,  if  he 
continue  a  day  or  two,  he  shall 
not  b&  punished:  foi*  he  is  his 
money.  And  if  a  man  smite  the 
eye  of  his  servant,  or  tlie  eye  of 
his  maid,  that  it  perish,  he  shall 
let  him  go  free  for  liis  eye's  sake. 
And  if  hesmite  out  his  man-ser-

REDEMPTION. 
Lev.  XXV,  47-53.  And  if  a  sojonr- 
ner  or  stranger  wax  rich  by  tUee, 
and  thy  brother  that  dwelletli  by 
1dm  wax  poor,  and  sell  himself 
unto  the  stranger  or  sojourner  by 
thee,  or  to  the  htock  of  the  strang- 
er's family:  Alter  that  he  is  sold 
he  may  be  redeemed  cgain;  one 
of  his  brethren  may  redeem  him: 
Either  his  uncle,  or  his  uncle's 
son,  may  redeem  him,  or  any  that 
is  nigh  of  kin  unto  him  of  his 
family  may  redeem  him;  or,  if  he 
be  able,  he  may  redeem  himself. 
And  he  shall  reckon  with  him 
that  bought  him,  from  the  year 
that  he  was  sold  to  him,  unto  the 
year  of  jubilee:  and  the  price  of 
his  sale  shall  be  according  unto 
the  number  of  vea  rs;  accordhig  to 
844 


the  time  of  an  hired  servant  shall 
it  be  with  him.  If  there  be  yet 
many  years  behind,  according  unto 
them  he  shall  give  again  the  price 
of  his  redemption  out  of  the 
money  that  he  was  bought  lor. 
And  if  there  remain  but  few  yeurs 
unto  the  year  of  jubilee,  then  he 
shall  count  with  him,  and  accord- 
ing unto  his  years  sliall  he  give 
him  again  the  price  of  his  redemp- 
tion. And  as  a  yearly  hired  ser- 
vant shall  he  be  with  him;  and  the 
other  shall  not  rule  with  rigour 
over  him  in  thy  sight. 

Isa.  Hi,  3.  For  thus  saith  the 
LoBD,  Ye  have  sold  yourselves 
for  nought;  and  ye  shall  be  re- 
deemed without  money. 

Jer.  xxxlv,  9-12,  14-17.  That 
every  mnn  should  let  his  man- 
servant, and  every  man  his  maid- 
servant, being  an  Hebrew  or  an 
Hebrewess,  go  free;  that  none 
should  serve  himself  of  them,  to 
wit,  of  a  Jew  his  brother.  Now, 
when  all  the  princes,  and  all  the 
people,  which  had  entered  into 
the  covenant,  heard  that  every 
one  should  let  his  man-servant, 
and  every  one  his  maid-servant, 
go  free,  that  none  should  serve 
themselves  of  them  any  more; 
then  they  obeyed,  and  let  them  go. 
But  afterward  they  turned,  and 
caused  the  servants  and  the  hand- 
maids, whom  they  had  let  go  free, 
to  return,  and  brought  them  into 
subjection  for  servants  and  for 
handmaids.  Therefore  the  word 
of  the  Lord  came  to  Jeremiah 
from  the  Lord,  saying.  At  the  end 
of  seven  years  let  ye  go  every 
man  his  brother  an  Hebrew,  which 
hath  been  sold  unto  thee;  and 
when  he  hath  served  thee  six 
years,  tliou  shalt  let  him  go  free 
from  thee:  but  your  fatJiers 
hearkened  not  unto  me,  neitlier 
inclined  their  ear.  And  ye  were 
now  turned,  and  had  done  right 
in  my  sight,  in  proclaiming  liberty 
every  man  to  his  neighbour;  and 
ye  had  made  a  covenant  before 
me  in  the  house  which  is  called 
by  my  name:  But  ye  turned,  and 
polluted  my  name,  and  caused 
every  man  his  servant,  and  every 
man  his  handmaid,  whom  he  had 
set  at  liberty  at  their  pleasure,  to 
return,  and  brought  them  into 
subjection,  to  be  unto  you  for 
servants  and  for  handmaids. 
Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Ye  have  not  hearkened  unto  me, 
in  proclaiming  liberty,  every  one 
to  his  brother,  and  every  man  to 
his  neighbour:  behold,  I  proclaim 
a  liberty  for  you,  saith  tlie  Lord, 
to  the  sword,  to  the  pestilence, 
and  to  the  famine;  and  I  will  make 
you  to  be  removed  into  all  the 
kingdoms  of  the  earth. 

COMPENSATION. 
Exod.  iii,  21, 22.  And  I  will  give 


this  p66ple  favour  in  the  sight  of 
the  Eg-ypMans:  and  it  shall  come 
to  pass,  that,  when  ye  go,  ye  shall 
not  go  empty:  But  every  woman 
Bhall  borrow  of  her  neighbour, 
and  of  her  that  sojourneth  in  her 
house,  jewels  of  silver,  and  jewels 
of  gold,  and  raiment:  and  ye  shall 
put  them  upon  your  sons,  and 
upon  your  daughters;  and  ye  shall 
spoil  the  Egyptians. 

Exod.  xi,  2,  3.  Speak-now  in  the 
ears  of  the  people,  and  let  every 
man  borrow  of  his  neighbour,  and 
every  woman  of  her  neighbour, 
jewels  of  silver,  and  jewels  of 
gold.  And  the  Lord  gave  the 
people  favour  in  the  sight  of  the 
Egyptians.  Moreover,  the  man 
Moses  was  very  great  in  the  land 
of  Egypt,  in  the  sight  of  Pharaoh's 
servants,  and  in  the  sight  of  the 
people. 

Exod.  xil,  35,  36.  And  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  did  according  to  the 
word  of  Moses;  and  they  borrowed 
of  the  Egyptians,  jewels  of  silver, 
and  jewels  of  gold,  and  raiment. 
And  the  Lord  gave  the  people 
favour  in  the  sight  of  the  Egyp- 
tians, so  that  they  lent  unto  them 
such  things  as  they  required:  and 
they  spoiled  the  Egypiiaus. 

Remarkable  Instance. 
FhilemA-25.  Paul,  a  prisoner  of 
Jesus  Christ,  and  Timotliy  oiir 
brother,  unto  Philemon  our  dearly 
beloved,  and  fellow-labourer.  And 
to  our  beloved  Apphia,  and 
Archippus  our  fellow-soldier,  and 
to  the  church  in  thy  house:  Grace 
to  you,  and  peace,  from  God  our 
Father,  and  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 
I  thank  my  God,  making  mention 
of  thee  always  in  my  prayers, 
Hearing  of  tliy  love  and  faith, 
which  thou  hast  toward  the  Lord 
Jesus,  and  toward  all  saints;  That 
the  communication  of  thy  faith 
may  become  eflfectual  by  the  ac- 
(  fenowledging  of  every  good  thing 
which  is  in  you  in  Christ  Jesus. 
For  we  have  great  joy  and  con- 
solation in  thy  love,  because  the 
i  bowels  of  the  saints  are  refreshed 
by  thee,  brother.  Wherefore, 
though  I  might  be  much  bold  in 
Christ  to  enjoin  thee  that  which  is 
convenient,  Yet,  for  love's  sake 
I  rather  beseech  thee,  being  such 
an  one  as  Paul  the  aged,  and  now 
also  a  prisoner  of  Jesus  Christ. 
I  beseech  thee  for  my  son 
Onesimus,  whom  I  have  begot- 
ten in  my  bonds:  Which  in  time 
past  was  to  thee  unprofitable,  but 
now  profitable  to  thee  and  to  me; 
Whom  I  have  sent  again:  thou 
therefore  receive  him  that  is  mine 
own  bowels;  Whom  I  would  have 
retained  with  me,  that  in  thy 
stead  he  might  have  ministered 
unto  me  in  the  bonds  of  the  gospel. 
But  without  thy  mind  Avould  1  do 
nothing;  tliat  thy  benefit  should 
not  be  as  it  were.of  necessity,  but 


LAW, 

willingly.  For  perhaps  he  there- 
fore departed  for  a  season,  that 
thou  shouldest  receive  him  for 
ever;  Not  now  as  a  servant,  but 
above  a  servant,  a  brother  be- 
loved, specially  to  me,  but  how 
much  more  unto  thee,  both  in  the 
flesh,  and  in  the  Lord?  If  thou 
count  me  therefore  a  partner,  re- 
ceive him  as  myself.  If  he  hath 
wronged  thee,  or  oweth  thee 
ought,  put  that  on  mine  account. 
I  Paul  have  written  it  with  mine 
own  hand,  I  will  repay  it:  albeit  I 
do  not  say  to  thee  how  thou  owest 
unto  me  even  thine  own  self  be- 
sides. Yea,  brother,  let  me  have 
joy  of  thee  in  the  Lord:  refresh  my 
bowels  in  the  Lord.  Having  con- 
fidence in  thy  obedience  I  wrote 
unto  thee,  knowing  that  thou  wilt 
also  do  more  than  I  say.  But 
withal  prepare  me  also  a  lodging: 
tor  I  trust  that  through  your  pray- 
ers I  shall  be  given  unto  you. 
There  salute  thee  Epaphras,  my 
fellow-prisoner  in  Christ  Jesus; 
Marcus,  Aristarchus,  Demas, 
Lucas,  my  fellow-labourers.  Tlie 
grace  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  be 
with  your  spirit.    Amen. 

MANUMISSION. 

Exod.  xxi,  3,  4  If  he  came  In  by 
himself,  he  shall  go  out  by  him- 
self; if  he  were  married,  then  his 
wife  shall  go  out  with  him.  If 
his  master  have  given  him  a  wife, 
and  she  have  born  him  sons  or 
daughters;  the  wite  and  her  chil- 
dren shall  be  her  master's,  and  he 
shall  go  out  by  himself. 

Deut.  XV,  12-15, 18.  And  If  thy 
brother,  an  Hebrew  man,  or  an 
Hebrew  woman,  be  sold  unto  thee, 
and  serve  thee  six  years;  then  in 
the  seventh  year  thou  shalt  let 
him  go  free  from  thee.  And  when 
thou  sendest  him  out  free  from 
thee,  thou  shalt  not  let  him  go 
away  empty:  Tliou  shalt  furnish 
him  libel  ally  out  of  thy  flock,  and 
out  of  thy  floor,  and  out  of  thy 
wine-press:  of  that  wherewith  the 
Lord  thy  God  hath  blessed  thee 
thou  Shalt  give  unto  him.  And 
thou  shalt  remember  that  thou 
wast  a  bond-man  in  the  land  of 
Egypt,  and  the  Lord  thy  God 
redeemed  thee:  therefore  I  com- 
mand thee  this  thing  to-day.  It 
shall  not  seem  hard  unto  thee 
when  thou  sendest  him  away  free 
from  thee;  for  he  hath  been  worth 
a  double  hired  servant  to  thee,  in 
serving  thee  six  years:  and  the 
Lord  thy  God  shall  bless  thee  in 
all  that  thou  doest. 

NEW  TESTAMENT 

PRECEPTS. 

1  Cor.  vii,  20--  24.  Let  every  man 

abide  in  tiie  same  calling  wherein 

he  was  called.     Art  thou  called 

bei7ig  a  servant?  care  not  for  it; 

but  if  thou  mayest  be  made  free, 

845 


use  it  rather.  For  he  that  Is  c^Ved 
in  the  Lord,  being  a  servant,  is  tlie 
Lord's  free  man:  likewise  also  he 
that  is  called,  being  free,  is  Clirist's 
servant.  Ye  are  boiiglit  witli  a 
price;  be  not  ye  the  servants  of  men. 
Brethren,  let  every  man,  wherein 
he  is  called,  therein  abide  with 
God. 

Eph.  vi,  5-7.  Servants  be  obe- 
dient to  them  that  are  f/our  mas- 
ters according  to  the  flesh,  with 
fear  and  trembling,  in  singleness 
of  your  heart,  as  unto  Christ;  Not 
with  eye-service,  as  men-pleasers; 
but  as  the  servants  of  Christ, 
doing  the  will  of  God  from  the 
heart;  With  good  will  doing  ser- 
vice, as  to  the  Lord,  and  not  to 
men. 

Qol.  ill,  22-25.  Servants,  obey  in 
all  tilings  yowr  masters  according 
to  the  flesh:  not  with  eye-service, 
as  men-pleasers;  but  In  singleness 
of  heart,  fearing  God:  And  what- 
soever ye  do,  do  it  heartily,  as  to 
the  Lord,  and  not  unto  men; 
Knowing  that  of  the  Lord  ye  shall 
receive  the  reward  of  the  inherit- 
ance; for  ye  serve  the  Lord  Christ. 
But  he  that  doeth  wrong  shall 
receive  for  the  wrong  which  he 
hath  done:  and  there  is  no  respect 
of  persons. 

1  Tim.  vi,  1,  2.  Let  as  many 
servants  aa  are  under  the  yoke 
coxint  their  own  masters  worthy 
of  all  honour,  that  tlie  name  of 
God  and  Ms  doctrine  be  not  blas- 
phemed. And  they  that  have 
believing  masters,  let  them  not 
despise  them,  because  they  are 
brethren;  but  rather  do  them  ser- 
vice, because  they  are  faitliful  and 
beloved,  partakers  of  the  benefit. 
These  things  teach  and  exhort. 

Titiis  ii,  9, 10.  Exhort  servants 
to  be  obedient  unto  their  own 
masters,  and  to  please  them  well 
in  all  things;  not  answering  again; 
Not  purloining,  but  shewing  all 
good  fidelity;  that  they  may  adorn 
the  doctrine  of  God  our  Saviour 
in  all  things. 

1  Peter  ii,  18-20.  Servants,  be 
subject  to  your  masters  with  all 
fear;  not  only  to  the  good  and 
gentle,  but  also  to  the  froward. 
For  this  is  thank-worthy,  if  a  man 
for  conscience  toward  God  en- 
dure grief,  8ufl"ering  wrongfully. 
For  what  glory  is  it,  if,  wlien  ye 
be  buffeted  for  your  faults,  ye  shall 
take  it  patiently?  but  if,  when  ye 
do  well,  and  suffer  /or  it,  ye  take 
it  patiently,  this  is  acceptable 
with  God. 

Allusions. 

Lev.  XXV,  56.  For  unto  me  the 
children  of  Israel  are  servants; 
they  are  my  servants,  whom  I 
brought  forth  out  of  the  land  of 
Egypt:  I  am  the  Loed  yonr 
God. 

Deut,  zii,  8, 9.    Ye  shall  not  do 


ftflior  all  the  things  that  we  do  liero 
this  flay,  every  man  whatsoever  is 
right  in  his  own  eyes.  For  ye 
are  not  as  yet  come  to  the  rest, 
and  to  the  inheritance,  which  the 
LoED  your  God  giveth  you. 

John\\[\,Z2-^i:.  And  ye  shall 
know  th«  trutli,  and  the  truth 
shall  mnke  you  free.  They  an- 
swered him,  Wo  be  Abraham's 
Sood,  and  were  never  in  bondage 
to  any  man:  how  sayest  thou.  Ye 
shall  be  made  free?  Jesus  an- 
swered them,  Verily,  verily,  I  say 
unto  you,  Wliosoever  comraitteth 
ein  is  the  servant  of  sin. 

Horn,  vi,  16-22.  Know  ye  not, 
that  to  whom  ye  yield  yourselves 
servants  to  obey,  his  servants  ye 
are  to  whom  ye  obey;  whether 
of  sin  unto  death,  or  of  obedience 
unto  righfeousness?  But  God  be 
thanked,  tliat  ye  were  the  ser- 
vants of  sin;  but  ye  have  obeyed 
from  the  lieart  tliat  form  of  doc- 
trine wliich  was  delivered  you. 
Being  then  made  free  from  sin,  ye 
became  the  servants  of  rigliteous- 
ness.  I  speak  after  the  manner  of 
men  because  of  the  infirmity  of 
your  flesh:  for  as  ye  have  yielded 
your  members  servants  to  un- 
cleanness,  and  to  iniquity  nnto 
iniquity;  even  so  now  yield  your 
members  servants  to  righteous- 
ness unto  holiness.  For  wlien  ye 
were  the  servants  of  sin,  ye  were 
free  from  righteousness.  What 
fruit  had  ye  then  in  those  things 
whereof  ye  are  now  ashamed?  for 
the  end  of  those  tilings  is  death, 
But  now,  being  made  free 
from  sin,  and  become  servants  to 
God,  ye  have  your  Iruit  unto 
holiness,  and  the  end  everlasting 
life. 

Gal.  V,  13.  For,  brethren,  ye 
have  been  called  unto  liberty;  only 
'use  not  liberty  for  an  occasion 
to  the  flesli,  but  by  love  serve  one 
another. 

1  Peter  n,  16.  As  free,  and  not 
Xising  your  liberty  for  a  cloak  of 
maliciousness,  but  as  the  servants 
of  God. 

2  Peter  ii,  19.  While  they  pro- 
mise them  liberty,they  themselves 
are  the  servants  of  corruption: 
for  of  whom  a  man  is  overcome, 
of  the  same  is  he  brought  in 
bondage.

Jer.  lii,  18.  But  Nebuzar-adan, 
the  captain  of  the  guard,  left  cer- 
tain of  the  poor  of  the  land  for 
vine-dressers,  and  for  husband- 
men. 

3ra7'k  xiv,7.  For  ye  have  the  poor 
with  you  always,  and  whensoever 
ye  win  ye  may  do  them  good:  but 
me  ye  have  not  always. 

Deut.  xxvili,  17.  Cursed  shall  »e

BEGGARY. 

Ps.  xxxvii,  25.  I  have  been 
young,  and  noio  am  old;  yet  have 
I  not  seen  the  riirhteous  forsaken, 
nor  his  seed  begging  bread. 

Luke  xviii,  35.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  that,  as  he  was  come  ni.gh 
unto  Jericho,  a  certain  blind  man 
sat  by  tlie  way-side  begging. 

Acts  hi,  2-6.  And  a  certain  man. 
lame  from  his  mother's  womb, was 
carried,  whom  tliey  laid  daily  at 
the  gate  of  the  temiile  whicli  is 
called  Beautiful,  to  ask  alms  of 
them  that  entered  into  the  temple; 
Who,  seeing  Peter  and  John 
about  to  go  into  tiie  temple,  asked 
an  alms.  And  Peter,  fastening 
his  eyes  upon  him  with  John, 
said.  Look  on  us.  And  he  gave 
heed  unto  them,  expecting  to  re- 
ceive sometiiing  of  them.  Then 
Peter  said,  Silver  and  gold  have  I 
none;  but  such  as  I  have  give  I 
thee:  In  the  name  of  Jesus  Christ 
of  Nazareth  rise  up  and  walk. 

Bounty  Levied. 
1  Sam.  XXV,  5-9.  And  David 
sent  out  ten  young  men:  and 
David  said  unto  the  young  men. 
Get  you  up  to  Carmel,  and"  go  to 
Nabal.  and  greet  him  in  my  name: 
And  thus  shall  ye  say  to  him  that

sliepherds  which  were  with  us, 
we  hurt  them  not,  neither  was

liTCH  AND  POOT?. 

Ps.  xxxvii,  16.  A  little  that  a 
rigliteous  man  hath  is  better  than 
the  riches  of  many  wicked. 

Prov.  X,  15.  The  rich  man's 
wealth  is  his  stsong  city:  the 
destruction  of  the  poor  is  their 
poverty. 

Prov.  xiii,  7,  a  There  is  that 
makcth  himself  rich,  yet  ?iath 
nothing:  thei'e  is  that  maketh 
himself  poor,  yet  fiath  great 
Holies.  The  ransom  of  a  man's 
lite  are  his  riches:  but  the  poor 
heareth  not  rebuke, 

Prov.  xiv,  20.  The  poor  is  hated 
even  of  his  own  neighbour:  but 
the  rich  hath  many  friends. 

Prov.  XV,  16.  Better  is  little 
with  the  fear  of  the  Lord,  than 
great  treasure,  and  trouble  there- 
with. 

Prov.  xvi,  8.  Better  is  little  with 
rlirhteousness,  than  great  revenues 
without  right. 

Pror.  xviii,  23.  The  poor  useth 
entn^aties:  but  the  rich  answereth 
rouglily. 

Prov  xix,  1^,  22.  Better  is  the 
poor  that  walketh  in  liis  integrity 
tlian  he  tliat  is  perverse  in  his 
lips,  and  is  a  fool.  Also,  that  the 
soul  be  without  knowledge,  it  is 
not  good;  and  he  that  hasteth 
with  his  feet  sinneth.  The  fool- 
ishness of  man  perverteth  his 
way;  and  his  heart  fretteth  against 
tlie  Lord.  Wealth  maketh  many 
friends;  but  the  poor  is  separated 
from  his  neighbour.  The  desire 
of  a  man  is  his  kindness;  and  a 
poor  man  is  better  than  a  liar. 

Prov.  xxviii,  6,  11.  Better  is  the 
poor  that  wall;eth  in  his  upriglit- 
ness,  than  he  that  is  perverse  in 
his  ways,  tliough  he  be  rich.  The 
rich  man  is  wise  in  his  own  con- 
ceit; but  the  poor  that  hath  under- 
standing searchcth  him  out. 

Eccles.  iv,  6.  Better  is  an  hand- 
ful with  quietness,  than  both  the 
hands  full  with  travail  and  vexa- 
tion of  spirit. 

Mark  xii,  41-44.  And  Jesus  sat  ^ 
over  against  the  treasury,  and  be- 
held how  the  people  cast  mimey 
into  the  treasury:  and  many  that 
were  rich  cast  In  much.  And 
there  came  a  certain  poor  widow, 
and  she  threw  in  two  mites,  which 
make  a  farthing.  And  he  called 
unto  him  his  disciples,  and  saith 
unto  them.  Verily  I  say  unto  you, 
That  this  poor  widow  hath  cast 
more  in  than  all  they  which  have 
cast  Into  the  treasury;  For  all 
they(\{(\  cast  in  of  tlieir  abundance; 
but  she  of  her  want  did  cist  in  all 
that  she  had,  even  all  her  living. 

Luke  xix,  25,  26.  (And  they  said 

unto    him,    Lord,    he    hath    ten 

pounds.)     For    I    say  unto  you, 

I  That  unto  every  one  which  hath 


LAW. 


shall  be  given;  and  from  him  that 
hath  not,  even  that  he  hath  shall 
be  taken  away  from  him. 

James  ii,  6,  7.  But  ye  have  des- 
pised the  poor.  Do  not  rich  men 
oppress  yoa,  and  draw  you  before 
the  judgment-seats?  Do  not  they 
blaspheme  that  worthy  name  by 
the  which  ye  are  called? 


Prov.  XXX,  7-9.  Two  fMno'S  have 
I  required  of  thee;  deny  me  them 
not  before  I  die:  Remove  far 
from  me  vanity  and  lies;  give  me 
neither  poverty  nor  riches;  feed 
me  with  food  convenient  for  me: 
Lest  I  be  full,  and  deny  thee,  and 
say,  Who  is  the  Lord?  or  lest  I  be 
poor,  and  steal,  and  take  the  name 
of  my  God  in  vain. 

GOD'S  CARE  OP  THE  POOR. 

Job  v,l5.  But  he  saveth  the  poor 
from  the  sword,  from  their  mouth, 
and  from  the  hand  of  the  mighty. 

Job  xxxvi,  6.  He  preserveth  not 
the  life  of  the  wicked:  but  giveth 
right  to  the  poor. 

Ps.  ix,  18.  For  the  needy  shall 
not  alway  be  forgotten:  the  ex- 
pectation of  the  poor  shall  not 
perish  for  ever. 

Ps.  xii,  5.  For  the  oppression  of 
the  poor,  fur  the  sighing  of  the 
needy,  now  will  I  arise,  saith  the 
Lord;  I  will  set  him  in  safety /row 
him  that  puCfeth  at  him. 

Ps.  cix,  31.  For  he  shall  stand  at 
the  right  hand  of  the  poor,  to  save 
hivi  from  those  that  condemn  his 
soul. 

Zeph.  iii,  12.  i  will  also  leave  in 
the  midst  of  thee  an  afflicted  and 
poor  people,  and  they  shall  trust 
in  the  name  of  the  Lord. 

Luke  vi,  20.  And  he  lifted  up 
his  eyes  on  his  disciples,  and  said, 
Blessed  be  ye  poor:  for  yours  is 
the  kingdom  of  God. 

James  li,  5.  Hearken,  my  be- 
loved brethren,  Hath  not  God 
chosen  the  poor  of  this  world  rich 
in  faith,  and  heirs  of  the  kingdom 
which  he  hath  promised  to  them 
that  love  him?

Lev.  xix,  10.  And  thou  shalt  not 
gleau  thy  vineyard,  neither  shalt

vineyard;  thou  shall  leave  them 
for  the  poor  and  stranger:  I  am 
the  Loud  your  God. 

Lev.  XXV,  5,6.  That  which  grow- 
eth  of  its  own  accord  of  thy  har- 
vest thou  shalt  not  reap,  neither 
gatiier  the  grapes  of  thy  vine  un- 
dressed: for  it  is  a  year  of  rest 
unto  the  land.  And  the  sabbath 
of  the  land  shall  be  meat  for  you; 
for  thee,  and  for  thy  servant,  and 


for  thy  maid,  and  for  thy  hired 
servant,  and  for  thy  stranger  that

Deut.  xiv,  28,  29.  At  the  end  of 
three  years  thou  shalt  bring  forth 
all  the  tithe  of  thine  increase  the 
same  year,  and  shall  lay  it  up 
within  thy  gates:  And  the  Levite, 
(because  he  hath  no  part  nor  in- 
heritance with  thee,)  and  the 
stranger,  and  the  fatherless,  and 
the  widow,  which  are  within  thy 
gates,  shall  come,  and  shall  eat 
and  be  satisfied;  that  the  Lord 
thy  God  may  bless  thee  in  all  the 
work  of  thine  hand  which  thou 
doest. 

Deut.  xxlv,  19-21.  When  thou 
cuttest  down  Ihine  harvest  in  thy 
field,  and  hast  forgot  a  sheaf  in 
the  field,  thou  shalt  not  go  again 
lo  fetch  it:  it  shall  be  for  the  stran- 
ger, for  the  fatherless,  and  for  the 
widow:  that  the  Lord  thy  God 
may  bless  thee  in  all  the  work  of 
thine  hands.  Wheri  thou  beatest 
thine  olive-tree,  thou  shalt  not  go 
over  the  boughs  again:  it  shall 
be  for  the  stranger,  for  the  father- 
less, and  for  the  widow.  When 
thou  gatherest  the  grapes  of  thy 
vineyard,  thou  shall  not  glean  it 
afterward:  it  shall  be  for  the 
stranger,  for  the  fatherless,  and 
for  the  widow. 

Deut.  xxvi,  12,  13.  When  thou

third  year,  lohich  is  the  year  of

cominandments  which  thou  hast 
commanded  me:  I  have  not  trans- 
gressed thy  commandments,  nei- 
ther have  I  forgotten  them.

2  QoT.  viii,  1-6.  Moreover,  breth- 
ren, we  do  you  to  wit  of  the  grace 
of  God  bestowed  on  the  churches 
of  Macedonia:  llow  that  in  a  great 
trial  of  affliction,  the  abundance 
of  tlieir  joy,  and  their  deep  pov- 
erty, abounded  unto  the  riches  of 
tlieir  liberality.  For  to  tlielr 
power,  (I  bear  record,)  yea,  and 
beyond  their  power,  they  were 
willing  of  themselves;  Praying  us 
with  much  entreaty  that  we  would 
receive  tlie  gift,  and  take  upon  us 
the  fellowship  of  the  ministering 
to  the  saints.  And  this  they  did, 
not  as  we  hoped;  but  first  gave 
their  own  selves  to  the  Lord,  and 
unto  us  by  the  will  of  God  :  Inso- 
mucli  that  we  desired  Titus,  that 
as  he  had  begun,  so  he  would 
also  finish  in  you  the  same  grace 
also.

Deut.  XV,  10.  Thou  Shalt  surely 
give  him,  and  thine  heart  shall 
not  be  grieved  when  thou  givest

tiling  the  Loud  thy  God  shall 
bless  thee  in  all  thy  worlds,  and  in 
all  that  thou  puttest  thine  hand 
unto. 

rrov.  iii,  27,  28.  Withhold  not 
good  from  them  to  whom  it  is  due, 
when  it  is  in  the  power  of  thine 
hand  to  do  it.  Say  not  unto  thy 
nei,^hbour,  Go,  and  come  again, 
an  I  to-morrow  I  will  give;  when 
thou  hast  it  by  thee. 

3Iatth.  vi,  1-4.  Take  heed  that 
ye  do  not  your  alms  before  men, 
to  be  seen  of  them;  otherwise  ye 
have  no  reward  of  your  Father 
which  is  in  heaven.  Theretore, 
when  thou  doest  thine  alms,  do 
not  sound  a  trumpet  before  thee, 
as  the  hypocrites  do  in  the  syna- 


gogues and  in  the  streets,  that 
they  may  have  glory  of  men. 
V^erily  I  say  unto  you,  They  have 
tlieir  reward.  But  when  thou 
doest  alms,  let  not  thy  left  hand 
know  what  thy  right  hand  doeth; 
That  thine  alms  may  be  in  secret: 
and  thy  Father  which  seeth  in 
secret  himself  shall  reward  thee 
openly. 

2  Cor.  viii,  10, 11.  And  herein  I 
give  my  advice :  for  this  is  expe- 
dient for  you,  who  have  begun 
before,  not  only  to  do,  but  also  to 
be  forward  a  year  ago.  Now 
therefore  perform  the  doing  of  it; 
that  &^  there  was  a  readiness  to 
will,  so  there  may  be  a  p<!rform- 
ance  also  out  of  that  which  we 
have. 

2  (7or.  Ix,  1-5.  For  as  touching 
the  ministering  to  the  saints,  it  is 
superfluous  for  me  to  wi  ite  to  you: 
For  I  know  the  forwardness  of 
your  mind,  for  which  I  boast  of 
you  to  them  of  Macedonia,  that 
Achaia  was  ready  a  year  ago;  and 
your  zeal  hath  provoked  very 
many.  Yet  have  I  sent  the 
bretliren,  lest  our  boasting  of  you 
should  be  in  vain  in  this  behalf; 
that,  as  I  said,  ye  may  be  ready: 
Lest  haply  if  they  of  Macedonia 
come  with  me,  and  find  you  un- 
prepared, we  (that  we  say  not, 
you)  should  be  ashamed  in  this 
same  confident  boasting.  There- 
fore I  thought  it  necessary  to  ex- 
hort the  brethren,  that  they  would 
go  before  unto  you,  and  make  up 
beforehand  your  bounty,  whereof 
ye  had  notice  before,  that  the 
same  might  be  ready  as  a  matter 
of  bounty,  and  not  as  of  cavetous-

will  deliver  him  in  time  of  trouble. 
The  LoKu  will  preserve  him,  and 
keep  him  alive ;  and  he  shall  be 
blessed  upon  the  earth :  and  thou 
wilt  not  deliver  him  unto  the  will 
of  liis  enemies. 

Fs.  cxii,  9.  He  hath  dispersed  ;

honour. 

P^-ov.  xi,  25.  The  liberal  soul 
shall  be  made  fat;  and  he  that 
watereth  shall  be  watered  also 
himself. 

Prov.  xix,  17.  He  that  hath  pity 
upon  the  poor  lendeth  unto  the 
Lord;  and  that  which  he  hath 
given  will  he  pay  him  again. 

Prov.  xxii,  9.  He  that  hath  a

satisfy  the  ofltticted  soul;  then 
shall  thy  liffht  rise  in  oliscurity, 
and  thy  darkness  be  as  the  noon- 
day. 

Acts  X,  4.  And  when  he  looked 
on  him,  he  was  afraid,  and  said. 
What  is  it.  Lord?  And  he  said 
unto  him,  Thy  prayers  and  thine 
alms  are  come  up  for  a  memorial 
before  God. 

2  Cor,  ix,  12-15.  For  the  admin- 
istration of  this  service  not  only 
supplieth  the  want  of  the  saints, 
liut  is  abundant  also  by  many 
thanksgivings  unto  God;  (Whiles 
by  the  experiment  of  this  minis- 
tration they  glorify  God  for  your 
professed  subjection  unto  the  gos- 
pel of  Christ,  and  for  your  liberal 
distribution  unto  them,  and  unto 
all  men;)  And  by  their  prayer  for 
you,  which  long  afier  you  for  the

Exod.  xviii,  16-26.  When' they 
have  a  matter,  they  come  unto 
me,  and  I  judge  between  one  and 
anotlier;  and  I  do  make  them 
know  the  statutes  of  God,  and  his 
laws.  And  Moses'  fiithcr-in-law 
said  unto  him.  The  thing  that  thou 
doest  is  not  good  Thou  wilt 
surely  wear  away,  both  thou  and 
this  people  that  is  with  tliee :  for 
this  thing  is  too  heavy  for  thee; 
thou  art  not  able  to  perform  it 
thyself  alone.  Hearken  now  unto 
my  voice.  I  will  give  thee  counsel, 
and  God  shall  be  with  thee :  Be 
thou  for  the  people  to  God-ward, 
that  thou  mayest  bring  the  causes 
unto  God:  And  thou  shalt  teach 
them  ordinances  and  laws,  and 
shalt  show  them  the  way  wherein 
they  must  walk,  and  the  work 
that  they  must  do.  Moreover, 
thou  Shalt  provide  out  of  all  the 
people  able  men,  such  as  fear 
God,  men  of  truth,  hating  covet- 
ousness;  and  place  such  over 
them,  to  be  rulers  of  thousantis, 
and  rulers  of  hundreds,  rulers  ol 
fifties,  and  rulers  of  tens.  And  let 
them  judge  the  people  at  all 
seasons:  and  it  shall  be,  that  every 
great  matter  they  shall  bring  unto 
thee,  but  every  small  matter  they 
shall  judge:  so  shall  it  be  easier 
for  thyself,  and  they  shall  bear  th6 
burden  with  thee.  If  thou  shalt 
do  this  thing,  and  God  connnand 
tliee  so,  then  thou  shalt  be  able  to

also  go  to  their  place  in  peace. 
So  Moses  hearkened  to  the  'Voifce 


LAW. 


of  hTs  father-in-law,  and  did  all 
that  he  had  said.  And  Moses 
chose  able  men  out  of  all  Israel, 
and  made  tliem  heads  over  the 
people,  rulers  of  thousands,  rulers 
ot  hundreds,  rulers  of  filties,  and 
rulers  ot  tens.  And  they  judged 
the  people  at  all  seasons:  the  hard 
causes  tliey  brought  unto  Moses, 
but  every  small  matter  they  judg- 
ed themselves. 

Deut.  i,  13, 14.  Take  yon  wise 
men,  and  understanding,  and 
known  among  your  tribes,  and  I 
will  make  them  rulers  over  you. 
And  ye  answered  mo,  and  said, 
The  thing  which  thou  hast  spoken 
is  good  for  us  to  do. 

Deut.  xvi,  18.  Judges  and  oCflcers 
Shalt  tlKtu  make  thee  in  all  thy 
gates,  which  the  Lord  thy  God 
givetli  thee,  throughout  thy  tribes: 
and  they  shall  jadge  the  people 
with  just  judgment. 

Deut.  xvii,  10-13.  And  thou 
Shalt  do  according  to  the  sentence 
which  they  of  that  place  which 
the  Lord  shall  choose  shall  show 
thee;  and  thou  shalt  observe  to 
do  according  to  all  that  tliey  in- 
form thee:  According  to  the 
sentence  of  the  law  which  they 
shall  teach  thee,  and  according  to 
the  judgment  which  they  shall 
tell  thee,  thou  shalt  do:  thou  shalt 
not  decline  from  the  sentence 
which  they  shall  show  thee,  to  the 
right  hand  nor  to  the  left.  And 
the  man  that  will  do  presumptu- 
ously, and  will  not  hearken  unto 
the  priest  that  standeth  to  minis- 
ter tliere  before  the  Lord  thy  God, 
or  unto  the  judge,  even  that  man 
shall  die:  and  thou  shalt  put  away 
the  evil  from  Israel.  And  all  the 
people  shall  hear,  and  fear,  and  do 
no  more  presumptuously. 

2  Sam.  XV,  3,  4.  And  Absalom 
said  unto  him.  See,  thy  matters 
are  good  and  right;  but  there  is  no 
man  deputed  of  the  king  to  hear 
thee.  Absalom  said  moreover. 
Oh  that  I  were  made  judge  in  the 
land,  that  every  man  which  hath 
any  suit  or  cause  might  come  unto 
me,  and  I  would  do  him  justice. 

2  (^hron.  xix,  6,  8.  And  he  set 
Judges  in  the  land,  throughout  all 
the  fenced  cities  of  Judah,  city  by 
city;  Moreover,  in  Jerusalem  did 
Jehoshaphat  set  of  the  Levites, 
and  o/Mie  priests,  and  of  the  chief 
of  the  fathers  of  Israel,  for  the 
judgment  of  ttie  LoRD,and  for  con- 
troversies, when  they  returned  to 
Jerusalem, 

Ezra  vil,  25,  26.  And  thou  Ezra, 
after  the  wisdom  of  thy  God  that 
is  in  thine  hand,  set  magistrates 
and  judges,  which  may  judge  all 
the  people  that  are  beyond  the 
river,  all  such  as  know  the  laws  of 
thy  God;  and  teach  ye  them  that 
know  them  not.  And  whosoever 
will  not  do  the  law  of  thy  God, 


and  the  law  of  the  king,  let  judg- 
ment b3  executed  speedily  upon 
him,  whether  it  be  unto  death,  or 
to  banishment,  or  to  confiscation 
of  goods,  or  to  Imprisonment. 

TnEiK  Duty. 
Exod.  xviii,  13-15.  And  it  came 
to  pass  on  the  morrow,  that  Moses 
sat  to  judge  the  people:  and  the 
people  stood  by  Moses  from  the 
morning  unto  the  evening.  And 
when  Moses'  father-in-law  saw  all 
that  he  did  to  the  people,  he  said, 
What  is  tliis  thing  that  thou  doest 
to  the  people?  why  sittest  tliou 
thyself  alone,  and  all  the  people 
stand  by  thee  from  morning  unto 
even?  And  Moses  said  unto  his 
father-in-law,  Because  the  people 
come  unto  me  to  enquire  of  God. 

EoMd.  xxiii,  3,6,  7.  Neither  shalt 
thou  countenance  a  poor  man  in 
his  cause.  Thou  shalt  not  wrest 
the  judgment  of  the  poor  in  his 
cause.  Keep  thee  far  from  a  false 
matter:  and  the  innocent  and 
righteous  slay  thou  not:  for  I  will 
not  justify  the  wicked. 

Lev.  xix,  15.  Ye  shall  do  no  un- 
righteousness in  judgment;  thou 
shalt  not  respect  the  person  of  the 
poor,  nor  honour  the  person  of  the 
mighty:  but  in  righteousness  shalt 
thou  judge  thy  neighbour. 

Deut.  1,  16-18.  And  I  charged 
your  judges  at  that  time,  saying, 
Hear  the  causes  between  your 
brethren,  and  judge  righteously 
between  every  man  and  his 
brother,  and  the  stranger  thai  is 
witli  him.  Ye  shall  not  respect 
persons  in  judgment,  but  ye  shall 
hear  the  small  as  well  as  the  great; 
ye  shall  not  be  afraid  of  the  face 
of  man,  for  the  judgment  is  God's: 
and  the  cause  that  is  too  hard  for 
you,  bring  it  unto  me,  and  I  will 
hear  it.  And  I  commanded  you 
at  that  time  all  the  things  which 
ye  should  do. 

Deut.  XXV,  1.  If  there  be  a  con- 
troversy between  men,  and  they 
come  unto  judgment,  that  the 
Judges  may  judge  them;  then  they 
shall  justify  the  righteous,  and 
condemn  the  wicked. 

2  Qhron.  xix,  6-11.  And  said  to 
the  judges,  Talie  heed  what  ye  do: 
for  ye  judge  not  for  man,  but  for 
the  Lord,  who  is  with  you  in  the 
judgment.  Wherefore  now  let  the 
fear  of  the  Lord  be  upon  you; 
take  heed,  and  do  it:  for  there  is 
no  iniquity  with  the  Lord  our 
God,  nor  re.«pect  of  persons,  nor 
taking  of  gifts.  Moreover  in  Je- 
rusalem dhl  Jehosaphat  set  of  the 
Levites,  and  of  the  priests,  and  of 
the  chief  of  the  fathers  of  Israel, 
for  the  judgment  of  the  Lord,  and 
for  conti'oversies,  when  I  hey  re- 
turned to  Jerusalem.  And  he 
charged  them,  saying,  Thus  shall 
ye  do  in  the  fear  of  the  Lord, 


faithfully,  and  with  a  perfect 
heart.  And  what  cause  soever 
shall  come  to  you  of  your  brethren 
that  dwell  in  their  cities,  between 
blood  and  blood,  between  law  and 
commandment,  statutes  and  judg^ 
mtnts,  ye  shall  even  worn  them 
that  they  trespass  not  against  the 
Lord,  and  so  wrath  come  upon 
you,  and  upon  your  brethren:  this 
do,  and  ye  shall  not  trebpass. 
And.  behold,  Amariah  the  chief 
priest  zs  over  you  in  all  matters  of 
the  Lord;  and  Zehadiah  the  son  of 
Ishmael,  the  ruler  of  the  house  of 
Judah,  for  all  the  king's  matters: 
also  the  Levites  shall  be  officers 
before  you.  Deal  courageously, 
and  the  Loed  shall  be  witii  the 
good. 

Prov.  xvii,  15.  He  that  justifleth 
the  wicked,  and  he  that  condemn- 
eth  the  just,  even  they  both  are 
abomination  to  the  Lord. 

Frov.  xviii,  5.  It  is  not  good  to 
accept  the  person  of  tlie  wiclied, 
to  overthrow  the  righteous  in 
judgment. 

Prov.  xxiv,  23.  These  things  also 
belong  to  the  wise.  It  is  not  gi  lod 
to  have  respect  of  persons  in  judg- 
ment. 

Unjust  Judges. 

Ps.  Iviii,  1.  Do  ye  indeed  speak 
righteousness,  O  congregation?  do 
ye  judge  uprightly,  O  ye  sons  of 
men? 

Ps.  Ixxxii,  2-4.  How  long  will 
ye  judge  unjustly,  and  accept  the 
persons  of  the  wicked?  Selah. 
Defend  the  poor  and  fatherless: 
do  justice  to  the  afflicted  and 
needy.  Deliver  the  poor  and 
needy:  rid  them  out  of  the  hand  of 
the  wicked. 

Eccles.  iii,  16.  And,  moreover,  I 
saw  under  the  sun  the  place  of 
judgment,  that  wickedness  vjas 
there;  and  the  place  of  righteous- 
ness, that  iniquity  was  there. 

Eccles.  v,  8.  If  thou  seest  the 
oppression  of  the  poor,  and  violent 
perverting  of  judgment  and  justice 
in  a  province,  marvel  not  at  the 
matter:  for  he  that  is  higher  than 
the  highest  regardeth;  and  there 
be  higher  than  they. 

Jer.  V,  28.  29.  They  are  waxen 
fat,  they  shine;  yea,  they  overpass 
the  deeds  of  the  wicked:  they 
judge  not  the  cause,  the  cause  of 
the  fatherless,  yet  they  prosper; 
and  the  right  of  the  needy  do  they 
not  judge.  Shall  I  not  visit  f  jr 
these  thingsf  saith  the  Lord:  shall 
not  my  soul  be  avenged  on  such  a 
nation  as  this? 

2_WITNESSES. 

Exod.  xxiii,  1, 2.  Thou  shalt  not 

raise  a  false  report:  put  not  thine 

hand  with  the   wicked  to  be  an 

unrighteous  witness.    Thou  shalt 


not  follow  a  multitncle  to  do  evil; 
neither  si i alt  thou  speak  in  a  cause 
to  decline  after  many  to    wrest 

judgment. ' 

Lev.  V,  1.  And  if  a  sotil  sin,  and 
hear  the  voice  of  swearing,  and  is 
a  witness,  whether  he  hath  seen 
or  known  of  it;  if  he  do  not  utter 
it,  then  he  shall  bear  his  iniquity, 

Nvm.  XXXV,  30.  Whoso  killeth 
any  person,  the  murderer  shall  be 
put  to  death  by  the  mouth  of  wit- 
nesses: but  one  witness  shall  not 
testify  against  any  person  to  cause 
Mm  to  die. 

Deut.  V,  20.  Neither  shalt  thou 
bear  false  witness  against  thy 
neighbour. 

Deut.  xvii,  6,  7.  At  the  mouth  of 
two  witnesses,  or  tliree  witnesses, 
shall  he  that  is  worthy  of  death 
be  put  to  death;  but  at  the  mouth 
of  one  witness  he  shall  not  be  put 
to  death.  The  hands  of  the  wit- 
nesses shall  be  first  upon  him  to 
put  him  to  death,  and  afterward 
the  handsofallthe  people:  so  thou 
Shalt  put  the  evil  cvvay  from 
among  you. 

Deut.  xix,  15.  One  witness  shall 
not  rise  up  against  a  man  for  any 
iniquity,  or  tor  any  sin,  in  any  sin 
that  he  tiinneth:  at  the  mouth  of 
two  witnesses,  or  at  the  mouth  of 
tliree  witnesses,  shall  the  matter 
be  established. 


Prov.  xii,  17.  He  that  speaketh 
truth  sheweth  forth  righteousness: 
but  a  false  witness  deceit. 

Prov.  xiV;  5,  25.  A  faithful  wit- 
ness will  not  lie:  but  a  false 
witness  will  utter  lies.  A  true 
witness  delivereth  souls:  but  a  de- 
ceitful witness  speaketh  lies. 

Prov.  xix,  28.  An  ungodly  wit- 
ness scorneth  judj^ment;  and  the 
mouth  of  the  wicked  devoureth 
iniquity. 

Prov.  xxiv,  28.  P.e  not  a  witness 
against  thy  neighbour  without 
cause;  and  deceive  not  with  thy 
lips. 

Isa.  viii,  2.  And  I  took  unto  me 
faithful  witnesses  to  record,  Uriah 
the  priest,  and  Zechariah  the  son 
of  Jeberechiah. 

John  viii.  17.  It  is  also  written 
in  your  law,  that  the  testimony  of 
two  men  is  true. 

Acts  xxiv,  19,  20.  Who  ought  to 
have  been  here  before  thee,  and 
object,  if  they  had  ought  against 
me.  Or  else  let  these  same  here 
say,  if  they  have  found  any  evil- 
doing  in  me,  while  I  stood  before 
the  council. 

2  (7or.  xiil,  1.  This  is  the  third 
time  I  am  coming  to  you.  In  the 
mouth  of  two  or  three  witnesses 
shall  every  word  be  established. 


LAW. 

False  Witnesses. 
Deut.  xix,  16-21.  If  a  false  wit- 
ness rise  up  against  any  man,  to 
testify  against  him  that  tohich  is 
wrong;  Then  both  the  men,  be- 
tween whom  the  controversy  is, 
shall  stand  before  the  Lord,  before 
the  priests  and  the  judges  which 
shall  be  in  those  days:  And  the 
judges  shall  make  diligent  inquis- 
ition: and,  behold,  if  the  witness 
be  a  false  witness,  and  hath  testi- 
fied falsely  against  his  brother; 
Then  shall  yo  do  unto  him  as  he 
had  thouglit  to  have  done  unto  his 
brother:  so  shalt  thou  put  the  evil 
away  from  among  you.  And  those 
which  remain  shall  hear,  and  fear, 
and  shall  hencelorth  commit  no 
more  any  such  evil  among  you. 
And  thine  eye  shall  not  piry,  but 
life  shall  go  for  life,  eye  for  eye, 
tooth  fur  tooth,  hand  for  hand, 
foot  for  foot.

to  pass,  when  she  saw  that  he  had 
left  his  garment  in  her  hand,  and 
was  fled  forth^  That  she  called 
unto  the  men  of  her  house,  and 
spake  unto  them,  saying,  See,  he 
hath  brought  in  an  Hebrew  unto 
us  to  mock  us;  he  came  in  unto  me 
to  lie  with  me,  and  I  cried  with  a 
loud  voice:  And  it  came  to  pass, 
when  he  heard  that  I  lifted  up  my 
voice  and  cried,  that  he  left  his 
garment  with  mo,  and  fled,  and 
got  him  out.  And  she  laid  up  his 
garment  by  her  until  his  lord 
came  home.  And  she  spake  unto 
him  according  to  these  words, 
saying,  The  Hebrew  servant, 
which  thou  hast  brought  unto  us, 
came  in  unto  me  to  mock  me: 
And  it  came  to  pass,  as  I  lilted  up 
my  voice  and  cried,  that  he  lett 
his  garment  with  me,  and  fled  out.

high  among  the  people;  And  set 
two  men,  sons  of  Belial,  before 
him,  to  bear  witness  against  him, 
saying,  Thou  didst  blaspheme 
God  and  the  king:  and  then  carry

may  die. 

Ps.  xxvil,  12.  Deliver  me  not

for  false  witnesses  are  risen  up 
against  me,  and  such  as  breathe 
out  cruelty.

This  man  ceaseth  not  to  speak 
blasphemous  words  against  this 
holy  place,  and  the  law. 

3.— LAWYERS. 
Luke  xi,  44-46.  52.  Woe  unto 
you,  scribes  and  Pharisees,  hypo- 
crites! for  ye  are  as  graves  which 
appear  not,  and  the  men  that  walk 
over  them  are  not  aware  of  them. 
Then  answered  one  of  the  lawyers, 
and  said  unto  him.  Master,  thus 
saying  thou  reproachest  us  also. 
And  he  said.  Woe  unto  you  also, 
ye  lawyers!  for  ye  lade  men  with 
burdens  grievous  to  be  borne,  and 
ye  yourselves  touch  not  the  bur- 
dens with  one  of  your  fingers. 
Woe  unto  you,  lawyers!  lor  ye 
have  taken  away  tlie  key  of  know- 
ledge: ye  enter  not  in  yourselves, 
and  them  that  were  entering  in 
ye  hindered. 

Acts  xix,  38.  Wherefore  if

said  he,  when  thine  accusers  are 
also  come.  And  he  commanded 
him  to  be  kept  in  Herod's  judg- 
ment-hall. 

Acts  xxiv,  1-4.  And  after  five 
days  Ananias  the  high  priest  des- 
cended with  the  elders,  and  tcith 
a  certain  orator  named  Teriullus, 
who  informed  the  governor 
against  Paul.  And  when  he  was 
called  forth,  Tertullus  began  to 
accuse  him,  saying.  Seeing  that 
by  thee  we  enjoy  great  quietness, 
and  that  very  worthy  deeds  are 
done  unto  this  nation  by  thy  pro- 
vidence. We  accept  it  always, 
and  in  all  places,  most  noble  Felix, 
with  all  thankfulness.  Notwith- 
standing, that  I  be  not  further 
tedious  unto  thee,  I  pray  thee 
that  that  thou  wouldest  hear  us 
of  thy  clemency  a  few  words.

one!  turn  aside,  sit  down  here. 
And  he  turned  aside,  and  sat 
down. 

John  vH,  51.  Doth  our  law  judge

Juiow  what  he  doeth? 


LAW. 


Acts  iv,  15.  But,  when  they  had 
commanded  them  to  go  aside  out 
of  the  council,  they  conferred 
among  themselves. 

Acts  V,  34.  Then  stood  there  up 
one  in  the  council,  a  Pharisee,

law,  had  in  reputation  among  all 
tlie  people,  and  commanded  to 
put  the  apostles  forth  a  mtl|^ 
space. 

Acts  xxii,  30.  On  the  morrow, 
because  he  would  have  known 
the  certainty  wherefore  he  was 
accused  of  the  Jews,  he  loosed

manded the  chief  priests  and  all

before  them. 

Acts  XXV,  17,  22-24.  Therefore, 
when  they  were  come  hither, 
without  any  delay  on  the  morrow, 
I  sat  on  the  judgment-seat,  and 
commanded  the  man  to  be  brought 
forth.  Tlien  Agrippa  said  unto 
Festus,  I  would  also  hear  the 
man  myself.  To-morrow,  said  he, 
thou  Shalt  hear  him.  And  on  the 
morrow,  when  Agrippa  was  come, 
and  Bernice,  with  groat  pomp, 
and  was  entered  into  the  place  ot 
hearing,  with  the  chief  captains 
and  principal  men  of  the  city,  at 
Festus'  commandment  Paul  was 
brought  forth.  And  Festus  said. 
King  Agrippa,  and  all  men  which 
are  here  present  with  us,  ye  see 
this  man,  about  whom  all  the 
multitude  of  the  Jews  have  dealt 
Willi  me,  both  at  Jerusalem,  and 
also  here,  crying  that  he  ought 
not  to  live  any  longer. 

Acts  xxvi,  30-32.  And  when  he 
had  thus  spoken,  the  king  rose  up, 
and  the  governor,  and  Beraice, 
and  they  tliat  sat  with  them:  And 
when  they  were  gone  aside,  they 
talked  between  tliemselves,  say- 
ing. This  man  doeth  nothing 
worthy  of  death  or  of  bonds. 
Then  said  Agrippa  unto  Festus, 
Tliis  man  miglit  have  been  set  at 
liberty,  if  he  had  not  appealed 
unto  Cesar.

house. 

Esth.  vii,  6,  6.  Then  the  king 
Ahasuerus  answered  and  said 
unto  Esther  the  queen.  Who  is 
he,  and  where  is  he,  that  durst 
presume  in  his  heart  to  do  so? 
And  Esther  said.  The  adversary 
and  enemy  is  this  wicked  Haman. 
Then  Ilaman  was  afraid  before 
the  king  and  the  queen. 

iVOT.  XXX,  10.  Accuse  not  a  ser- 


vant unto  his  master,  lest  he  curse 
ihee,  and  thou  bo  found  guilty 

Luke  XX,  20.  And  they  watched 
him,  and  sent  forth  spies,  which 
should  feign  themselves  just  men, 
that  they  might  take  hold  of  his 
words,  that  so  they  might  deliver 
liim  unto  the  power  and  authority 
of  the  governor. 

Acts   xxiii,    16-22.    And  when 
Paul's  sister's  s<m  heard  of  their 
lying  in  wait,  ho  went  and  entered 
into  the    castle,  and  told    Paul. 
Then  Paul  called  one  of  the  cen- 
turions unto  him,  and  said.  Bring 
this  young  man  unto  the  chief 
captain;    for  he  hath   a  certain 
thing  to  toll  him.     So  he  took 
him  and  brought  Mm  to  the  chief 
captain,  and  said,  Paul  the  pris- 
oner called   me    unto  him,   and 
prayed  me  to  bring  this  young 
man  unto  thee,  who  hath  some- 
thing to  soy  unto  thee.    Then  tlie 
chief  captain   took  him  by  the 
hand,  and  went  with  him  aside 
privately,  and  asked  him.  What  Is 
that  tliou  hast  to  tell  me?  And  he 
said.  The  Jews  have  agreed  to 
desire   thee  that   thou  wouldest 
bring  down  Paul  to-morrow  into 
the  council,  as  though  they  would 
enquire  somewhat  of  him  more 
perlectly.    But  do  not  thou  yield 
unto  them :  for  there  lie  in  wait 
for  him  of  them  more  than  forty 
men.which  have  bound  themselves 
with  an  oath,  that  they  will  nei- 
ther eat  nor  drink  until  they  have 
killod    him:    and   now  are  they 
ready,  looking  for  a  promise  from 
thee.    So  the  chief  captain  then 
let  the  young  man  depart,  and 
charged  him,  See  thou  tell  no  man 
that    thou    hast    showed    these 
things  to  me. 

Acts  xxiv,  5-9.  For  we  have 
found  this  man  a  pestilent  fellov), 
and  a  mover  of  sedition  among  all 
the  Jews  throughout  the  world, 
and  a  ringleader  of  the  sect  of  the 
Nazarenes:  Who  also  hatli  gone 
about  to  profane  the  temple; 
whom  we  took,  and  would  have 
judged  according  to  our  law:  But 
the  chief  captain  Lysias  came 
upon  us,  and  with  great  violence 
took  him  away  out  of  our  hands. 
Commanding  his  accusers  to 
come  unto  thee  :  by  examining  of 
whom  thyself  mayest  take  know- 
ledge of  all  these  things  whereof 
we  accuse  him.  And  the  Jews 
also  assented,  saying  that  these 
things  were  so 


thpfi,  sufTer  me  to  epealt  unto  tho 
people.  And  when  he  had  given 
him  licence,  Paul  stood  on  the 
stairs,  and  beckoned  with  the 
hand  unto  the  people.  And  when 
there  was  made  a  great  silence,  he 
spake  unto  them  in  the  Hebrew 
tongue,  saying. 

Acts  x.xii,  1.  Men,  brethren,  and 
fathers;  hear  ye  my  defence  wfticA 
/  make  now  unto  you. 

Acts  xxiii,  1.  And  Paul,  ear- 
nestly beholding  the  council,  said, 
Men  and  brethren,  I  have  lived  in 
all  good  conscience  before  God 
until  this  day. 

^c«s  xxiv,  10-13.  ThenPaul.after 
that  the  governor  had  beckoned 
unto  him  to  speak,  answered,  For- 
asmuch as  I  know  that  tliou  hast 
been  of  many  years  a  judge  unto 
this  nation,  I  do  the  more  cheer- 
fully answer  for  myself:  Because 
that  thou  mayest  understand, 
that  there  are  yet  but  twelve  days 
since  I  went  up  to  Jerusalem  tor 
to  worship.  And  they  neither 
found  me  in  the  temple  disputing 
with  any  man,  neither  rai::ing  up 
the  people,  neither  in  the  syna- 
gogues, nor  in  tho  city:  Neither 
can  they  prove  the  things  whereof 
they  now  accuse  me. 

Acts  xxv,  8,  16.  While  he  an- 
swered for  himself,Neiiher  against 
the  law  of  the  Jews,  neither 
against  the  temple,  nor  yet  against 
Cesar,  have  I  offended  any  thing 
at  all.  To  whom  I  answered.  It 
is  not  the  manner  of  the  Koraans 
to  deliver  any  man  to  die,  before 
that  he  which  is  accused  have  the 
accusers  face  to  face,  and  have 
licence  to  answer  for  himself  con- 
cerning the  crime  laid  against 
him. 


Acts  xxv,  18.  Against  whom, 
when  the  accusers  stood  up,  they 
brought  none  accusation  ot  such 
things  as  I  supposed. 

The  Depencb. 

Acts  xxi,  39,  40.  But  Paul  said,  I 

am  a  mau  which  am  a  Jew  of 

Tarsus,  a  city  in  Cilicia,  a  citizen 

of  no  mean  city :  and,  I  beseech

Acts  xxvi,  1-3.  Then  Agrippa 
said  unto  Paul,  Thou  art  permit- 
ted to  speak  for  thyself.  Then 
Paul  stretched  forth  the  hand,  and 
answered  for  himself:  I  think  my- 
self happy,  king  Agrippa,  because 
I  shall  answer  tor  myselt  this  day 
before  thee  touching  all  the  things 
whereof  I  am  accused  of  the  Jews; 
Especi:dly  because  I  know  thee  to 
be  expert  in  all  customs  and 
questions  which  are  among  the 
Jews:  wherefore  I  beseech  thee 
to  hear  me  patiently. 

Appeal  . 
Acts  xxiii,  25-30.  And  he  wrote 
a  letter  after  this  mann  r:  Claud- 
ius Lysias  unto  the  most  excellent 
governor  Felix  sendeth  greeting. 
This  man  was  taken  ot  the  Jews 
and  should  have  been  killed  of 
them;  then  came  I  with  an  army, 
and  rescued  him,  having  under- 
stood that  he  was  a  Koman.  And 
when  I  would  have  known  the 
cause  wherefore  they  accused  him, 
I  brought  him  forth  into  their 
council:  Whom  I  perceived  to  be 


accnsed  of  qTiestlons  of  their  law, 
but  to  have  nothing  laid  to  his 
charge  worthy  of  deatli  or  of 
bonds.  And  when  it  was  told  me 
how  that  the  Jews  laid  wait  for 
the  man,  I  sent  straightway  to 
thee,  and  gave  commandment  to 
his  accusers  also  to  say  before 
thee  what  they  had  against  him. 
Farewell. 

Acts  XXV,  1-7, 9-15,  20,  21,25-27. 
Now,  when  Festus  was  come  into 
the  province,  after  three  days  he 
ascended  from  Cesarea  to  Jerusa- 
lem. Then  the  liigh  prieet,  and 
the  chief  of  the  Jews,  informed 
him  against  Paul,  and  besought 
him,  And  desired  favour  against 
him,  that  he  would  send  for  him 
to  Jerusalem,  laying  wait  in  the 
way  to  kill  him.  But  Festus  an- 
swered, that  Paul  should  be  kept 
at  Cesarea,  and  that  he  himself 
would  depart  shortly  thither.  Let 
them  therefore,  said  he,  which 
among  you  are  able,  go  down 
with  me,  and  accuse  this  man,  if 
there  be  any  wickedness  in  him. 
And  when  he  had  tarried  among 
them  more  than  ten  days,  he  went 
down  unto  Cesarea;  and  the  next 
day,  sitting  on  the  judgment-seat, 
commanded  Paul  to  be  brought. 
And  when  he  was  come,  the  Jews 
which  came  down  from  Jerusa- 
lem stood  round  about,  and  laid 
many  and  grievous  complaints 
against  Paul,  which  they  could 
not  prove  :  But  Festus,  willing  to 
do  the  Jews  a  pleasure,  answered 
Paul,  and  said,  Wilt  thou  go  up 
to  Jerusalem,  and  there  be  judged 
of  these  things  before  me  ?  Then 
said  Paul,  I  stand  at  Cesar's  judg- 
ment-seat, where  I  ought  to  be 
judged :  to  the  Jews  have  I  done 
no  wrong,  as  thou  very  well 
knowest.  For  if  I  be  an  offender, 
or  have  committed  any  thing 
worthy  of  death,  I  refuse  not  to 
die:  but  if  there  be  none  of  these 
things  whereof  these  accuse  me, 
no  man  may  deliver  me  unto 
them.  I  appeal  unto  Cesar.  Then 
Festus,  when  he  had  conferred 
with  the  council,  answered,  Hast 
thou  appealed  unto  Cesar?  unto 
Cesar  shalt  thou  go.  And  after 
certain  days  king  Agrippa  and 
Bernice  came  unto  Cesarea  to 
salute  Festus.  And  when  they 
had  been  there  many  days,  Festus 
declared  Paul's  cause  unto  the 
king,  saying.  There  is  a  certain 
man  left  in  bonds  by  Felix;  About 
whom,  when  I  was  at  Jerusalem, 
the  chief  priests  and  the  elders  of 
the  Jews  informed  me,  desiring  to 
fuive  judgment  against  lum.  And 
because  1  doubted  of  such  man- 
ner of  questions,  I  asked  him 
whether  he  would  go  to  Jerusa- 
lem, and  there  be  judi^ed  of  these 
matters.  But  when  Paul  had  ap- 
pealed to  be  reserved  unto  the 
hearing  of  Augustus,  1  command- 
ed him  to  be  kept  till  1   might 


LAW. 

send  him  to  Cesar.  But  when  I 
found  that  he  had  committed  no- 
thing worthy  of  deatli,  and  that 
he  himself  hath  appealed  to 
Augustus,  I  have  determined  to 
send  him.  Of  whom  I  have  no 
certain  thing  to  write  unto  my 
lord.  Wherefore  I  have  brought 
him  forth  before  you,  and  spe- 
ci:illy  before  thee,  O  king  Agrippa, 
that,  after  examination  had,  1 
might  have  somewhat  to  write. 
For  it  seemeth  to  me  unreasonable 
to  send  a  prisoner,  and  not  witlial 
to  signify  the  crimes  laid  against 
him. 

Acts  xxvill,  17-20.  And  it  came 
to  pass,  that,  after  three  days, 
Paul  called  the  chief  of  the  Jews 
together:  and  when  they  were 
come  together,  he  said  unto  them, 
Menanrf  brethren,  though  I  have 
committed  nothing  against  the 
people  or  customs  of  our  fathers, 
yet  was  I  delivered  prisoner  from 
Jerusalem  into  the  hands  of  the 
Romans:  Who,  when  they  had 
examined  me,  would  have  let  me 
go,  because  there  was  no  cause  of 
death  in  me.  But  when  the  Jews 
spake  against  it,  I  was  constrained 
toappeal  unto  Cesar;  not  that  I  had 
ought  to  accuse  my  nation  of. 
For  this  cause  therefore  have  I 
called  for  you,  to  see  i/ou,  and  to 
speak  with  you:  because  that  for 
the  hope  of  Israeli  am  bound  with 
this  chain. 

Riots. 

Acts  xviii,  15-17.  But  if  It  be  a 
question  of  words,  and  names, 
and  of  your  law,  look  ye  to  it; 
for  I  will  be  no  judge  of  such 
m/itters.  And  he  drave  them 
from  the  judgment  -  seat. 
Theh  all  the  Greeks  took  Sos- 
thenes,  the  chief  ruler  of  the 
synagogue,  and  beat  him  before 
the  judgment- seat:  and  Gallio 
cared  for  none  of  those  things. 

Acts  xix,  29.  30,  32,  33,  39-41. 
And  the  whole  city  was  filled 
with  confusion:  and  having  caught 
Gains  and  Aristarclius,  men  of 
Macedonia,  Paul's  companions  in 
travel,  they  rushed  with  one 
accord  into  the  theatre.  And 
when  Paul  would  have  entered  in 
unto  the  people,  the  disciples 
suffered  him  not.  Some  there- 
fore cried  one  thing,  and  some 
another:  for  the  assembly  was 
contused;  and  the  more  part 
knew  not  wherefore  they  were 
come  together.  And  they  drew 
Alexander  out  of  the  multitude, 
the  Jews  putting  him  forward. 
And  Alexander  beckoned  with 
the  hand,  and  would  have  made 
his  defence  unto  the  people.  But 
if  ye  inquire  any  thing  concerning 
other  matters,  it  shall  be  deter- 
mined in  a  lawful  assembly.  For 
we  are  in  danger  to  be  called  in 
question  for  this  day's  uproar, 
there  being  no  cause  whereby  we 
352 


may  give  an  account  of  this  con- 
course. And  when  he  had  thus 
spoken,  he  dismissed  the  as- 
sembly. 

Acts  xxi,  34-36.  And  some  cried 
one  thing,  some  another,  among 
the  multitude:  and  when  he  could 
not  know  the  certainty  for  the 
tumult,  he  commanded  him  to  be 
carried  into  the  castle.  And 
when  he  came  upon  the  stairs,  so 
it  was,  that  he  was  borne  of  the 
soldiers  for  the  violence  of  the 
people.  For  the  multitude  of  the 
pe.iple  followed  after,  crying. 
Away  with  him. 

Law  Suits  to  be  Avoided. 

Prov.  xviii.  17.  He  that  is  first  In 
his  own  ciuse  seemeth  just;  but 
his  neighbour  cometh  and  search- 
eth  him. 

31atth.  V,  25,  26.  Agree  with 
thine  adversary  quickly,  whiles 
thou  art  in  the  way  with  him; 
lest  at  any  time  the  adversary 
deliver  thee  to  the  judge,  and  the 
judge  deliver  thee  to  the  officer, 
andthou  be  cast  into  prison.  Verily 
I  say  unto  thee.  Thou  slialt  by  no 
means  come  out  thence,  till  thou 
hast  paid  the  uttermost  farthing. 

Luke  xii,  58,  59.  When  thou 
goest  with  thine  adversary  to  the 
magistrate,  as  thou  art  in  the  way 
give  diligence  that  thou  mayest 
be  delivered  from  him;  lest  he  hale 
thee  to  the  judge,  and  the  judge 
deliver  thee  to  the  officer,  and  the 
officer  cast  thee  into  prison.  1  tell 
thee,  thou  shalt  not  depart  thence, 
till  thou  hast  paid  the  very  last 
mite. 

1  Qor.  vi,  1-7.  Dare  any  of  you, 
having  a  matter  against  another, 
go  to  law  before  the  unjust,  and 
not  before  the  saints?  Do  ye  not 
know  that  the  saints  shall  judge 
the  world?  and  if  the  world  shall 
be  judged  by  you,  are  ye  unworthy 
to  judge  the  smallest  matters? 
Know  ye  not  that  we  shall  judge 
angels?  how  much  more  things 
that  pertain  to  this  life?  If  then 
ye  have  judgments  of  things  per- 
taining to  this  life,  set  them  to 
judge  who  are  least  esteemed  in 
the  church.  I  speak  to  your 
shame.  Is  it  so,  that  there  is  not 
a  wise  man  among  you?  no,  not 
one  that  shall  be  able  to  judge 
between  liis  brethren?  But 
brother  goeth  to  law  with  brother, 
and  that  before  the  unbelievers. 
Now  therefore  there  is  utterly 
a  fault  among  you,  because  ye  go 
to  law  one  with  another:  why  do 
ye  not  rather  take  wrong?  why  do 
ye  do  not  rather  suffer  yourselves 
to  be  defrauded?

manded  a  centnrlon  to  keep  Paul, 
and  to  let  Jdm  have  liberty,  and

Acts  xxviil,  16.  And  when  we 
came  to  Rome,  the  centurion  de- 
livered tlie  prisoners  to  the 
captain  of  the  guard:  but  Paul 
was  suffered  to  dwell  by  himself 
with  a  soldier  that  kept  him. 

IMPRISONMENT. 

(dungeon,  fetters,  stocks.) 

Gen.  xxxix,  20.  And  Joseph's 
master  took  him,  and  put  him 
into  the  prison,  a  place  where  the 
king's  pri-oners  were  bound:  and 
he  was  there  in  the  prison. 

Gen.  xl,  1-4.  And  it  came  to  pass 
after  these  \h'ms^,that  the  butler  of 
the  king  of  Eirypt  and  his  baker 
had  offended  their  lord  the  king  of 
Egypt.  And  Pliaraoh  was  wroth 
against  two  o/his  officers,  against 
the  cliiof  of  the  butlers.and  against 
the  cliief  of  the  bakers.  And  he 
put,  them  in  ward  in  the  house  of 
the  captain  of  the  guard,  into  the 
prison,  the  place  where  Joseph 
uas  bound.  And  the  captain  of 
the  guard  ch;ir^ed  Joseph  with 
them,  and  he  served  them;  and 
he  continued  a  season  in  ward. 

Gen.  xli,  10.  Pliaraoh  was  wroth 
with  his  servants,  and  put  me  in 
ward  in  the  captain  of  the  guard's 
house,  both  me  and  the  chief 
baker. 

Gen.  xlii,  17,  24.  And  he  put 
them  all  together  into  ward  three 
days.  And  he  turned  himself 
about  from  them,  and  wept;  and 
returned  to  them  again,  and  com- 
muned with  them,  and  took  from 
them  Simeon,  and  bound  him 
before  their  eyes. 

Lev.  xxiv,  12.  And  they  put 
him  in  ward,  that  the  mind  of  the 
Lord  might  be  shewed  them. 

2  Chron.  xxxvi,  6.  Against  him 
came  up  Nebucliadnezzar  king  of 
Babylon,  anti  bound  him  in  fetters, 
to  carry  him  to  Babylon. 

Jer.  XX,  2.  Then  Pashur  smote 
Jeremiah  the  prophet,  and  put 
hitn  in  the  stocks  tliat  were  in  the 
high  gate  of  Henjamin,  which  was 
by  the  house  of  the  Lobd. 

Jer.  xxxvi,  5.  And  Jeremiah 
commanded  Baruch.  saying,  I  am 
shut  up;  I  cannot  go  into  the  house 
of  the  Lord. 

7er.xxxvii,4,15-20.  Now  Jeremiah 
c  tme  in  and  went  out  among  the 
people;  for  they  liad  not  put  him 
into  prison.  Wherefore  the 
princes  were  wroth  with  Jere- 
miah, and  smote  him,  and  put 
him  in  prison,  in  the  house  of 
J(  na  han  the  scribe;  for  they  had 
maae  that  the  prison.  When 
Jeremiah  was  entered  into  the 
dungeon,  and  into  the  cabins,  and 


Jeremiah  had  remained  there 
many  days;  Then  Zeleklah  tiie 
king  sent,  and  tooic  liim  out;  and 
the  king  aslied  him  .-ecr.^tlyin  Ids 
house,  and  said.  Is  there  any  word 
fiom  the  Lord?  And  Jeremiah 
said,  There  is:  for,  said  he,  Thou 
Shalt  be  delivered  into  tlie  hand 
of  the  king  of  Babylon.  More- 
over, Jerennah  said  unto  the  king 
Zedekiah,  What  have  I  offended 
against  thee,  or  against  thy  ser- 
vants, or  against  tins  people  that 
ye  have  put  me  in  prison?  Where 
are  now  your  prophets,  wluch 
prophesied  unto  you,  saying.  The 
king  of  Babylon  shall  not  come 
against  you.  nor  against  tins 
land?  Therefore  hear  now,  I  pray 
thee,  O  my  lord  the  king,  let  my 
supplication,  I  pray  tliee,  be 
accepted  before  thee;  that  thou 
cause  me  not  to  return  to  the 
house  of  Jonathan  the  scribe,  lest 
I  die  there. 

Jer.  xxxvili,  6-9,  28.  Then  took 
they  Jeremiah,  and  cast  him  into 
the  dungeon  of  Malchiah  the  son 
I  of  Hammelech,  that  was  in  the 
court  of  the  prison:  and  they  let 
down  Jeremiah  with  cords.  And 
In  the  dungeon  there  was  no  water, 
but  mire:  so  Jeremiah  sunlc  in  the 
mire.  Now,  when  Ebed-melech 
the  Ethiopian,  one  of  the  eunuchs 
which  was  in  the  king's  house, 
heard  that  they  had  put  Jeremiah 
in  the  dungeon,  (the  king  tlien 
Bitting  in  the  gate  of  Benjamin,) 
Ebed-melech  went  forth  out  of  the 
king's  house,  and  spake  to  the 
king,  saying,  My  lord  the  king, 
these  men  iiave  done  evil  in  ad 
that  they  have  done  to  Jeremiah 
the  prophet,  whom  thoy  have  cast 
into  the  dungeon;  and  he  is  like  to 
die  for  hunger  in  the  place  where 
he  is:  for  there  is  no  more  bread 
in  the  city.  So  Jeremiah  abode  in 
the  court  of  the  prison  until  the 
day  that  Jerusalem  was  taken: 
and  he  was  there  when  Jerusalem 
was  taken. 

Lam.  iii,  53.  They  have  cut  off

Ps.  evil,  10-12.  Such  as  sat  in

Lord  was  with  Joseph,  and  shew- 
ed him  mercy,  and  gave  him 
favour  in  tlie  siglit  of  the  keeper 
of  the  prison.  And  the  keeper  of 
the  prisiiu  committed  to  Joseph's 
hand  all  the  prisoners  that  t/;e?-e 
in  the  prison;  and  whatsoever 
they  did  there,  he  was  the  doer  of 
it.  The  keeper  of  the  prison 
looked  not  to  any  thing  that  was 
under  his  hand;  because  the  Lord 
was  with  him,  and  that  which  he 
did,  the  Lord  made  it  to  prosper. 

Ps.  Ixix,  33.  For  the  Lord  hear-

the  prisoner  come  before  thee; 
according  to  the  greatness  of  thy 
power  preserve  thou  those  that 
are  appointed  to  die. 

Ps.  cii,  19,  20.  For  he  hath 
looked  down  from  the  heiglit  of

to  loose  those  that  are  appointed 
to  death. 

Ps.  cxlii,  7.  Bring  my  soul  out 
of  prison,  that  I  may  praise  tliy 
name:  the  righteous  shall  compass 
me  about;  for  thou  shalt  deal 
bountifully  with  me. 

Ps.  cxlvi,  7.  Which  executeth 
judgment  for  tlie  oppressed;  which 
giveth  food  to  the  liungry.  The 
Lord  looseth  the  prisoners. 

Jer.  xxxix,  15.  Now  the  word  of 
the  Lord  came  unto  Jeremiah, 
while  he  was  shut  up  in  the  court 
of  the  prison.

And  Siilmei  said  unto  the  king,

It  is  his  angel.  But  Peter  con- 
tinued knocking:  and  when  they

beaten  before  his  face,  according 
to  his  fault,  by  a  certain  nun)ber. 
Forty  stripes  he  may  give  liim,

Acts  xvi,  35-40.  And  when  it 
was  day,  the  magistrates  sent  the 
Serjeants,  saying.  Let  those  men 
go.  And  the  keeper  of  the  prison 
told  this  saying  to  Paul,  The 
magistrates  have  sent  to  let  you 
go:  now  therefore  depart,  and  go 
in  peace.  But  Paul  said  unto 
them.  They  have  beaten  us  ( penly 
uncondemned,  being  Romans,  and 
have  cast  us  intij  prison;  and  now 
do  they  thrust  us  out  privily?  nay 
verily;  but  let  them  come  them- 
selves and  fetch  us  out.  And 
the  Serjeants  t(;ld  these  words 
unto  the  magistrates:  and  they 
feared,  when  they  heard  that  they 
were  Romans.  And  they  came 
and  besought  them,  and  brought 
the7n  out,  and  desired  them  to  de- 
part out  of  the  city.  And  they 
went  out  of  the  prison,  and  en- 
tered into  the  house  of  Lydia:  and 
when  they  had  seen  the  brethren, 
they  comforted  them,  and  de- 
parted. 

Acts  xxii,  25-29.  And  as  they

unto  the  centurion  that  stood  by, 
Is  it  lawful  for  you  to  scourge  a 
man  that  is  a  Roman,  and  uncon- 
demned? When  the  centurion 
heard  that,  he  went  and  told  the 
chief  captain,  saying.  Take  heed 
what  thou  doest:  for  this  man  is 
a  Roman.  Then  the  chief  captain 
came,  and  said  unto  him,  Tell  me, 
art  thou  a  Roman?  lie  said.  Yea.

I  And  the  chief  captain  answered, 
Witli  a  great  sum  obtained  I  this 
freedom.  And  Paul  said.  But  I  was 
free-horn.  Then  straightway  thej 
departed  from  him  which  should 
have  examined  him:  and  the  chief 
captain  also  was  afraid,  after  ht 
knew  that  he  was  a  Roman,  and 
because  he  had  bound  him.

Burning  Alive  in  a  Furnace. 

Dan.  iii.  19-26.  29,30.  Then  was 
Nebuchadnpzzar  full  of  fury,  and 
the  form  of  his  visage  was  chang- 
ed against  Sbadracli,  Meshiich, 
and  Abed-nego:  therefore  he 
spake,  and  commanded  that  they 
should  heat  the  furnace  one  seven 
times  more  than  it  was  wont  to  be 
heated.  And  he  commanded  the 
most  mighty  men  that  were  in  his 
army  to  bind  Shadracli,  Meshach, 
and  Abed-nego,  and  to  cast  them 
into  the  burning  fiery  furnace. 
Therefore,  because  the  king's 
commandment  was  urgent,  and 
the  furnace  exceeding  hot,  the 
flame  of  the  fire  slew  those  men 
that  took  up  Shadrach,  Meshach, 
and  Abed-nego.  And  these  three 
men,  Shadrach,  Mesliach,  and 
Abed-nego,  fell  down  bound  into 
the  midst  of  the  burning  fiery 
furnace.  Then  Nebuchadnezzar 
the  king  was  astonied,  and  rose 
up  in  haste,  and  spake,  and  said 
unto  his  counsellors,  Did  not  we 
cast  three  men  bound  into  the 
midst  of  the  fire?  Tliey  answered 
and  said  unto  the  king.  True,  O 
king.  He  answered  and  said,  Lo, 
I  see  four  men  loose,  walking  in 
the  midst  of  the  fire,  and  they 
have  no  hurt;  and  the  form  of  the 
fourth  is  like  the  Son  of  God. 
Then  Nebuchadnezzar  came  near 
to  the  mouth  of  tlie  burning  fiery 
furnace,  and  spake,  and  said, 
Shadrach,  Meshach,  and  Abed- 
nego,  ye  servants  of  the  most 
high  God,  come  forth,  and  come 
hither.  Then  Shadrach,  Meshach, 
and  Abed-nego,  came  forth  of  the 
midst  of  the  fire.  Therefore  I 
mate  a  decree.  That  every  peo-

speak  any  thing  amiss  against  the 
<;()d  of  Shadrach,  Meshach,  and 
Abed-nego,  shall  be  cut  in  pieces, 
and  their  houses  shall  be  made 
a  dunghill;  because  there  is  no 
otlier  God  that  can  deliver  after 
tlds  sort.  Then  the  king  pro- 
moted Shadrach,  Meshach,  and 
Abed-nego,  in  the  province  of 
Babylon. 

Exposure  to  Wild  Beasts. 
Dan.  vi,  16, 17.  Then  the  king 
commanded,  and  they  brought 
Daniel,  and  cast  him  into  the  den 
of  lions.  Noto  the  king  spake,  and 
said  unto  Daniel,  Thy  God,  whom 
thou  servest  continually,  he  will 
deliver  thee.  And  a  stone  was 
brought,  and  laid  upon  the  mouth 
of  the  den;  and  the  king  sealed  it 
with  his  own  signet,  and  with  the 
signet  of  his  lords,  that  the  pur- 
pose might  not  be  changed  con- 
cerning Daniel. 

Cutting  Asundeb. 
Dan.  ii,  5.  The  king  answered 
and  said  to  tlie  Clialdeans,  The 
tiling  is  gone  from  me  :  if  ye  will 
not  make  known  unto  mo  the 
dream,  with  tlie  interpretation 
thereof,  ye  shall  be  cut  in  pieces, 
and  your  houses  shall  be  made  a

Ephraina.  And  he  judged  Israel 
twenty  and  tUree  years,  and  died, 
and  was  buried  in  Shamir.  And 
after  him  arose  Jair,  a  Gileadite, 
and  judged  Israel  twenty  and  two 
years.  And  he  had  thirty  sons 
that  rode  on  thirty  ass-colts,  and 
they  hnd  thirty  cities,  which  are 
called  Havoth-jair  unto  this  day, 
which  are  in  the  land  of  Gilead. 
And  Jair  died,  and  was  buried  lu 
Camon. 

Jud/jes  x\\,  7-14.  And  Jephthah 
judged  Israel  six  years:  then  died 
Jephthah  the  Gileadite,  and  was 
buried  in  one  o/ the  cities  of  Gilead. 
And  after  -him  Ibzan  of  Beth- 
lehem judged  Israel;  And  ho  had 
thirty  sons,  and  thirty  daughters, 
whom  he  sent  abroad,  and  took  in 
thirty  daughters  from  abroaii  for 
his  sons:  and  he  judged  Israel 
seven  years.  Then  died  Ibzan, 
and  was  buried  at  Beth-lehem. 
And  after  him  Elou,  a  Zebulonite, 
judged  Israel:  and  he  judged 
Israel  ten  years.  And  Elon  the 
Zebulonite  died,  and  was  buried 
in  Aijaiou,  in  the  country  of  Ze- 


bulon.  And  after  him  Abdon  the 
son  of  Hillel,  a  Pirathunite,  judged 
Israel.  And  he  had  lorty  sons  and 
thirty  nephews,  that  rode  on 
threescore  and  ten  ass-colts:  and 
he  judged  Israel  eight  years. 

Judges  xv,  20.  And  he  [Samson] 
judged  Israel  in  the  days  of  the 
Philistines  twenty  years. 

1  Sam.  iv,  18 And  he 

[Eli]    had    judged    Israel   forty 

years. 

1  Sam.  vii,  15-17.  And  Samuel 
Judged  Israel  all  the  days  of  liis 
life.  And  he  went  from  year  to 
year  in  circuit  to  Bethel,  and  Gil- 
gal,  and  Mizpeh,  and  judged 
Israel  in  all  those  places.  And  his 
return  was  to  Ramah;  for  there 
was  his  houso:  and  there  he  judged 
fsrafl;  and  there  he  built  an  altar 
unto  the  Lord. 

1  Sam.  viii,  1,  2.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  when  Samuel  was  old,  that 
he  made  his  sons  judges  over 
Israel.  Now  the  name  of  his  first- 
born was  Joel,  and  the  name  of 
his  second  Abiah:  they  t(?ere  judges 
in  Beer-sheba. 

Acts  xlii,  20.  And  after  that  he 
gave  unto  them  judges,  about  the 
space  of  four  hundred  and  fifty 
years,  until  Samuel  the  prophet. 

II. 
KINGS. 

GOD  REJECTED  AS  KING 
BY  THE  NATION. 

1  Sam.  viii  4-11, 14-22.  Then  all 
the  elders  of  Israel  gathered  them- 
selves together,  and  came  to 
Samuel  unto  Ramah,  And  said 
unto  him.  Behold,  thou  art  old, 
and  thy  sons  walk  not  in  thy 
ways:  now  make  us  a  king  to  judge 
us  like  all  the  nations.  But  the 
thing  displeased  Samuel,  when 
they  said,  Give  us  a  king  to  judge 
U3.  And  Samuel  prayed  unto  the 
Lord.  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Samuel,  Hearken  unto  the  voice 
of  the  people  in  all  that  they  say 
unto  thee:  for  they  have  not  re- 
jected thee,  but  they  have  rejected 
me,  that  I  should  not  reign  over 
them.  According  to  all  the  works 
which  they  have  done  since  the 
day  that  I  brought  them  up  out  of 
Egypt  even  unto  this  day,  where- 
with tliey  have  forsaken  me.  and 
856 


served  other  gorjg,  so  do  they  aTsro 
unto  thee.  Now  therefore  hearken 
unto  their  voice:  liovvbeit  yet  pro- 
test solemnly  unto  them,  and  shew 
them  the  manner  of  the  king  that 
shall  reign  over  them.  And  Samuel 
told  all  the  words  of  the  Lord 
unto  the  people  that  asked  of  him 
a  king.  And  he  said.  This  will  be 
the  manner  of  the  king  that  shall 

reign  over  you: And   he 

will  take  your  fields,  and  your 
vineyards,  and  your  oliveyaids, 
even  the  best  of  them,  and  give 
them  to  h'a  servants.  And  he 
will  take  the  tenth  of  your  seed, 
and  of  your  vineyards,  and  give  to 
his  officers,  and  to  his  servants. 
And  he  will  take  your  men-ser- 
vants, and  your  maiti-servants,  and 
your  goodliest  young  men,  and 
your  asses,  and  put  them  to  his 
work.  He  will  take  the  tenth  of 
your  sheep;  and  ye  shall  be  his 
servants.  And  ye  shall  cry  out  in 
that  day  because  of  your  king 
which  ye  shall  have  chosen  you; 
and  the  Lord  will  not  hear  you  in 
that  day.  Nevertheless  the  people 
refused  to  obey  the  voice  of 
Samuel;  and  they  said.  Nay;  but 
we  will  have  a  king  over  us;  That 
wo  also  may  be  like  all  the  na- 
tions; and  that  our  king  may  judge 
us,  and  go  out  before  us,  and  flglit 
our  battles.  And  Samuel  heard 
all  the  words  of  the  people,  and  he 
rehearsed  them  in  the  ears  of  tlie 
Lord.  And  the  Lord  said  to 
Samuel,  Hearken  unto  their  voice, 
and  make  them  a  king.  And 
Samuel  said  unto  the  men  of 
Israel,  Go  ye  every  man  unto  his 
city 

1  Sam.x,  17-19.  And  Samuel 
called  the  people  together  unto 
the  Lord  to  Mizpeh;  And  said 
unto  the  children  of  Israel,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  of  Israel,  I 
brought  up  Israel  out  of  Egypt, 
and  delivered  you  out  of  the  liand 
of  the  Egyptians,  and  out  of  the 
hand  of  all  kingdoms,  and  of  them 
that  oppressed  you:  And  ye  have 
this  day  rejected  your  God,  who 
himself  saved  you  out  of  all  your 
adversities  and  your  tribulations; 
and  ye  have  said  unto  him,  Nay, 
but  set  a  king  over  us.  Now  there- 
fore present  yourselves  before 
the  Lord  by  your  tribes,  and  by 
your  thousands. 

1  Sam.  xii,  12, 13, 16, 18-20.  And 
when  ye  saw  that  Nahasb,  the 


MAGISTRATES. 


king  of  the  children  of  Ammon, 
c:irae  against  you,  j'e  said  unto 
me,  Nay;  but  a  kins  shall  reign 
over  us:  when  the  Lonu  your  God 
was  your  king.  Now  therefore 
behold  the  king  wliom  ye  have 
chosen,  and  wliom  ye  have  de- 
sired! and,  behold,  the  Lord  hath 
set  a  king  over  yon.  Now  tliere- 
fore  stand  and  see  this  great  thing, 
Wliich  Ihe  LoiiD  will  do  before 
your  eyes.  So  Samuel  called  un- 
to the  Loun;  and  the  Lord  sent 
thunder  and  rain  that  day:  and 
all  the  people  greatly  feared  the 
Lord  and  S;inniel.  And  all  the 
people  said  unto  Samuel,  Fray  for 
tliy  servants  unto  tlie  Lord  thy 
Goil,  that  we  die  not:  for  we  have 
added  unto  all  our  bins  this  evil, 
to  ask  us  a  king.  And  Samuel 
said  unto  the  people,  Fear  not: 
(ye  have  done  all  this  wickedness, 
yet  turn  not  aside  from  following 
the  LoR!>,  but  Bcrve  the  Lord  with 
ail  your  heart. 

Jer.  xlli,  21.  What  wilt  thon 
say,  when  he  shall  punish  thee? 
(for  thou  hast  taught  them  to  be 
captains,  and  as  chief  over  thee;) 
shall  not  sorrows  take  thee,  as  a 
woman  In  travail? 

Hos.  viii,  4.  They  have  set  np 
kings,  but  not  by  me ;  they  have 
made  princes,  and  I  knew  it  not: 
of  their  silver  and  their  gold  have 
they  made  ti:em  idols  that  they 
may  be  cut  ofi". 

Hos.  xiii,  10,  11.  I  win  be  thy 
king:  where  is  any  other  that  may 
save  thee  in  all  thy  cities?  and 
tliy  judiies,  of  whom  thou  saidst, 
GiVo  me  a  king  and  princes?  I 
gave  thee  a  liing  in  mino  anger, 
and  took  Mm  away  in  my  wrath. 

3fatth.  XX,  25-27.  But  Jesus 
called  them  ttnto  him,  and  said, 
Ye  know  that  tlie  princes  of  the 
Gentiles  exercise  dominion  over 
them,  and  they  that  are  great 
exercise  authority  upon  them. 
But  it  shall  not  be  so  among  you: 
but  whosoever  will  bo  great 
among  you.  let  him  be  your  min- 
ister; And  whosoever  will  be  chief 
among  you,  let  him  be  your  ser- 
vant. 

KINGS  SOMETIMES  CHOSEN 
BY  GOD. 
Deut.Kyli,  14, 15.  When  thou  art 
come  unto  the  land  whicli  the 
Lord  thy  God  g^veth  thee,  nnd 
Bhalt  possess  it,  and  shalt 
dwell  therein,  and  shall  say,  1  whi 
set  a  king  over  me,  like  as  all  the 
nations  that  are  about  me;  Thou 
Shalt  in  any  wise  set  him  king 
over  thee  whom  the  Lord  thy 
God  shall  choose:  one  from  among 
thy  brethren  shalt  thou  set  king 
over  thee  :  tliou  inayest  not  set  a 
stranger  oyer  thee  which  is  uot 
thy  brother. 


1  Sam.  ix,  15-17.  Now  the  Lord 
had  told  Samuel  in  his  ear  a  day 
before  Saul  came,  saying,  To-mor- 
row, about  tills  time,  I  will  send 
thee  a  man  out  of  the  land  of  Ben- 
jamin, and  thou  shalt  anoint  him 
to  be  captain  over  my  people  Is- 
rael. .  •  .  And  when  Samuel 
saw  Saul,  the  Lord  said  unto  him. 
Behold  the  man  whom  I  spake  to 
thee  of!  this  same  shall  reign  over 
my  people. 

1  Sam.  X,  21.  22.  When  he  had 
caused  the  tribe  of  Benjamin  to 
come  near  by  their  families,  the 
family  of  Matri  was  taken,  and 
Saul  the  son  of  Kish  was  taken : 
and  when  they  sought  him,  he 
could  not  be  found.  Therefore 
ihey  enquired  of  the  Lord  further, 
if  the  man  should  yet  come  thi- 
ther. And  the  Lord  answered. 
Behold,  he  hath  hid  himself  among 
the  stuff. 


1  Sam.  xvl,  1-3.  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  Samuel,  IIow  long  wilt 
thou  mourn  for  Saul,  seeing  I 
have  rejected  him  from  reigning 
over  Israel  ?  Fill  thine  horn  with 
oil,  and  go,  I  will  send  thee  to 
Jesse  the  Beth-lehemite:  for  I 
have  provided  me  a  king  among 
his  sons.  And  S  imuel  said,  How 
can  I  go?  If  Saul  hear  it,  he  will 
kill  me.  And  the  Lord  said. 
Take  an  heiter  with  thee, and  say, 
I  am  come  to  sacrifice  to  the 
Loud.  And  call  Jesse  to  the  sac- 
rifice, and  I  will  show  thee  what 
thou  Shalt  do:  and  thou  shalt 
anoint  unto  me  him  whom  Iname 
unto  thee. 


1  Kings  if,  15.  And  he  [Adoni'ah] 
said,  Tliou  knowest  that  the  king- 
dom was  mine,  and  that  all  Israel 
set  their  faces  on  me,  that  I 
should  reign :  howbeit  the  king- 
dom is  turned  about,  and  is  be- 
come my  brother's;  for  it  was  his 
from  the  Lord. 


1  Ki7igs  xf,  37-40.  And  I  will 
take  thee,  and  thi>u  shalt  reign 
according  to  all  that  thy  soul  rie- 
sireth,  and  thoij  shalt  be  king 
over  Israel.  And  it  shall  be,  if 
thou  wilt  hearken  unto  all  that  I 
command  thee,  and  wilt  walk  in 
my  ways,  and  do  that  is  right  in 
my  sight,  to  keep  my  statutes  and 
my  commandments,  as  David  my 
servant  did,  that  I  will  be  with 
thee,  and  build  thee  a  sure  house, 
as  I  built  for  David,  and  will  give 
Israel  unto  thee.  And  I  will  for 
this  afflict  the  seed  of  David,  but 
not  for  ever.  Solomon  sought 
therefore  to  kill  Jeroboam:  and 
Jeroboam  arose,  and  fled  into 
Egypt,  unto  Shishak  king  of 
Egypt,  and  Avas  in  Egypt  until  the 
death  of  Solomon.

POWER  OP  THE  ARMY  AND 

THE  PEOPLE  IN  THE 

ELECTION  OF  SAUL 

AND  OTHERS. 

1  Sam.  ix,  20,  21.  And  as  for 
thine  asses,  that  were  lost  three 
days  ago,  set  not  thy  mind  on 
them;  lor  they  are  found.  And 
on  whom  is  all  the  desire  of  Is- 
rael? Is  it  not  on  thee,  and  on  all 
thy  father's  house?  And  Saul 
answered  and  said,  Am  not  I  a 
Benjamite,  of  the  smallest  of  the 
tribes  of  Israel?  and  my  family 
the  least  of  all  the  families  of  the 
tribe  of  Benjamin?  wherefore  then 
speakest  thou  so  to  me  ? 

1  Sam.  xi,  14,  15.  Then  said 
Samuel  to  the  people;  Come,  and 
let  us  go  to  Gilgal,  and  renew  the 
kingdom  there.  And  all  the  peo- 
pie  went  to  Gilgal;  and  there  they 
made  Saul  king  before  the  Lord 
in  Gilgal;  and  there  they  sacri- 
ficed sacrifices  of  peace-offerings 
before  the  Lord:  and  there  Saul 
and  all  the  men  of  Israel  rejoiced 
greatly. 

1  Sam.  xH,  1.  And  Samuel  said 
unto  all  Israel,  Beliold,  I  have 
hearkened  unto  your  voice  in  all 
that  ye  said  unto  me,  and  have 
made  a  king  over  you. 

2  Sam.  li,  7.  Therefore  now  let 
your  hands  be  strengthened,  and 
be  ye  valiant:  for  your  master  Saul 
is  dead,and  also  the  house  of  Judah 
have  anointed  me  king  over 
them. 

2  Sam.  ill.  9-12,  17-20.  So  do 
God  to  Abner,  and  more  also, 
except,  as  the  Loud  hath  sworn  to 
David,  even  so  I  do  to  him;  To 
translate  the  kingdom  from  the 
house  of  Saul,  and  to  set  up  the 
throne  of  David  over  Israel,  and 
over  Judah,  from  Dan  even  to 
Beer-sheba.  And  he  could  not 
answer  Abner  a  word  again;  be- 
cause he  feared  him.  And  Abner 
sent  messengers  to  David  on  his 
behalf,  saying,  Wliose  is  the  land? 
saying  also,  Make  thy  league  with 
me,  and,  behold,  my  hand  nhall  be 
with  thee,  to  bring  aiunit  all 
Israel  unto  thee.  And  Abner  had 
communication  wi^h  the  elders  of 
Israel,  saying,  Ye  sought  for 
David  in  times  past  to  be  king 
over  you:  Now  then  do  it:  for  the 
Lord  hath  spoken  of  David,  say- 
ing, By  the  hand  of  my  servant 
David  I  will  save  my  people 
Israel  out  of  the  hand  of  the 
Philistines,  and  out  of  the  hand  of 
all  their  enemies.  And  Abner 
also  spake  in  the  ears  of  Benjamin; 
and  Abner  went  also  to  speak  in 
the  ears  of  David  in  Jlebronall 
that  seemed  good  to  Israel,  and 
that  seemed  good  to  the  whole 
house  of  Benjamin.  So  Abner 
cane  to  David  to  Hebron,  and 
twenty  men  with  him;  and  David 


mad©  Abner,  and  the  men  that 
were  with  him,  a  feast. 

2  Sam.  V,  1, 2.  Then  camo  all  the 
tribes  of  Israel  to  David  unto 
Hebron,  and  spake,  Saying,  Be- 
hold, we  are  thy  bone  and  tliy 
flesh.  Also  in  time  past,  when 
Saul  was  king  over  us,  thou  wast 
he  that  leddest  out  and  brought- 
est  in  Isr.iei:  and  the  Lord  said 
to  thee,  Thou  shalt  feed  my  peo- 
ple Israel,  and  thou  shalt  be  a 
captain  over  Israel. 

1  (^hron.  xi,  10.  These  also  are 
the  chief  of  the  mighty  men  whom 
David  had,  avIio  strengthened 
themselves  with  liim  in  his  king- 
dom, and  with  all  Israel,  to  make 
him  king,  according  to  the  word 
of  the  Lord  concerning  Israel. 

1  Kings  xil,  1.  And  Rehoboam 
went  to  Shechem:  for  all  Israel 
were  come  to  Shechem  to  make 
him  king. 

Acts  xiil.  21.  And  afterward 
they  desired  a  king:  and  God 
guve  unto  them  Saul  the  son  of 
Cis,  a  man  of  the  tribe  of  IJenja- 
min,  by  the  space  of  forty  years. 

DAVID. 

1  Chron.  xxix,  26-28.  Thus 
David  the  son  of  Jesse  reigned 
over  all  Israel.  And  the  time 
that  he  reigned  over  Israel  was 
forty  years;  seven  years  reigned 
he  in  Hebron,  and  thirty  and 
three  years  reiuned  he  in  Jerusa- 
lem. And  he  died  in  a  good  old 
age,  full  of  days,  riclies,  and 
honour;  and  Solomon  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead. 

Acts  xiii,  22.  And  when  he  had 
removed  him,  he  raised  up  unto 
them  David  to  be  their  king;  to 
whom  also  he  gave  testimony,  and 
said,  I  have  found  David  the  son 
of  Jesse,  a  man  after  mine  own 
heart,  which  shall  fulfil  all  my 
will. 

Covenant  made  with  David. 

2  Sam.  V,  12.  And  David  per- 
ceived that  tlie  Lord  had  estab- 
lished him  king  over  Israel,  and 
that  he  had  exulted  his  kingdom 
for  his  people  Israel's  sake, 

2  Sam.  vl,  12,  13.  And  it  was 
told  king  David,  saying,  The 
Lord  hath  blessed  the  house  of 
Obed-edom,  and  all  that  pertain- 
eth  unto  him,  because  of  the  ark 
of  God.  So  David  went  and 
brought  up  the  ark  of  God  from 
the  house  of  Obed-edom  into  the 
City  of  David  wih  gl  ulness.  And 
11;  was  so,  that,  when  they  that 
bare  the  ark  of  the  Lord  liad 
gone  six  paces,  he  sacrificed  oxeii 
and  fallings. 

1  Kinifi  ii.  24.  Now  therefore, 
nn  ih'5  Lord  liveth,  which  bath 
established  me,  and  set  me  on  the 


MAGISTRATES. 

throne  of  David  my  father,  and 
who  hath  made  me  an  house.  . .  . 
1  Kings  Ix,  4,  5.  And  if  thou  wilt 
wall<  before  me,as  David  thyfather 
walked,  in  integrity  of  heart, 
and  in  uprightness,  to  do  accord- 
ing to  all  that  I  have  command- 
ed thee,  and  wilt  keep  my  statutes 
and  my  judgments;  Then  I  will 
establish  the  throne  of  thy  king- 
dom upon  Israel  for  ever,  as  I 
promised  to  David  thy  fatlier, 
saying,  There  sliall  not  fail  thee  a 
man  upon  the  :lirone  of  Israel. 

1  Kings  xi,  12,  13.  32,  34-36. 
Notwithstanding  In  thy  days  I 
will  not  do  it  for  David  thy  father's 
sake:  but  I  will  rend  it  out  of  t!ie 
hand  of  thy  son.  Howbeit  I  will 
not  rend  away  all  the  kingdom; 
but  will  give  one  tribe  to  tliy  son, 
for  David  my  servant's  sake,  and 
for  Jerusalem's  sake,  which  I 
have  chosen.  (But  he  shall  have 
one  tribe,  for  my  servant  David's 
sake,  and  for  Jerusalem's  sake, 
the  city  which  I  have  cliosen  out 
of  all  the  tribes  of  Israel:)  How- 
beit I  will  not  take  the  whole 
kingdom  out  of  his  hand:  but  1 
will  make  him  prince  all  the  days 
of  his  life  for  David  my  servant's 
sake,  whom  I  chose,  because  he 
kept  my  commandments  and  my 
statutes;  But  I  will  take  the  king- 
dom out  of  his  son's  hand,  and 
will  give  It  unto  thee,  even  the 
ten  tribes.  And  unto  his  s(m  will 
I  give  one  tribe,  that  David  my 
servant  may  have  a  light  alway 
before  me  in  Jerusalem,  the  city 
which  I  have  chosen  me  to  put 
my  name  there. 

1  Kin(/s  XV  4.  NeverthelesB,  for 
David's  sake  did  the  Lord  his  God 
give  him  a  lamp  in  Jerusalem,  to 
set  up  his  son  after  him,  and  to 
establish  Jerusalem. 

2  Kings  viii,  19.  Yet  the  Lord 
wonld  not  destroy  Judah  for 
David  his  servant's  sake,  as  he 
promised  him  to  give  him  alway 
a  light,  and  to  his  children. 

1  Chron,  .xxviii,  7.  Moreover,  I 
will  establish  his  kingdom  for 
ever,  if  he  be  constant  to  do  my 
commandments,  and  my  judg-

2  Qhron.  vii,  17.  And  as  for  thee, 
if  thou  wilt  walk  bi-tore  me,  as 
David  thy  father  walked,  and  do 
according  to  all  that  1  have  com- 
manded thee,  and  shalt  observe 
my  statutes  and  my  judgments. 

2  Chron.  xxi,  7.  Howbeit  the 
Lord  would  not  destroy  the  house 
of  David,  because  of  the  covenant 
that  he  had  made  with  David,  and 
as  he  promised  to  give  a  light  to 
idm,  and  to  his  sons  for  ever. 

Ps.  xvlli,  43-45,  50.  Thon  hast 

delivered  me  from  tiie  strivings  ot 

the  people;  and  tliou  hast  made 

me  the   head  of  the  heathen:  a 

853 


people  wTiom  I  hare  not  known 

shall  serve  me.  As  soon  as  they 
hear  of  me,  they  shall  obey  me: 
the  string.^rs  shall  submit  them- 
selves unto  me.  Tlie  strangers 
shall  fade  away,  and  hi  afraid  out 
of  their  close  places.  Great  de- 
liverance giveth  he  to  his  king; 
and  sheweth  mercy  to  his  an- 
ointed, to  David,  and  to  his  seed 
for  evermore. 

Ps.  Ixxviii,  70-72.  He  chose 
David  also  his  servant,  and  took 
him  from  the  sheep-lolds:  From 
following  the  ewes  great  with 
young  he  brought  him  to  leed 
Jacob  his  people,  and  Israel  his 
inheritance.  So  he  fed  them  ac- 
cording to  the  integrity  of  his 
heart;  and  guided  them  by  the 
skilfulness  of  his  hands. 

Fs.  Ixxxix,  3,  4, 19-22,  29,  38,  39. 
I  have  made  a  covenant  with  my 
chosen,  I  have  sworn  unto  David 
my  servant.  Thy  seed  will  I  es- 
tablish for  ever,  and  build  up  thy 
throne  to  all  generations.  Selah. 
Then  thou  spakest  i.i  vision  to  thy 
Holy  One,  and  saidst,  I  have  laid 
help  upon  one  that  is  mighty;  I 
have  exalted  one  chosen  out  of  the 
people.  I  have  found  David  my 
servant;  with  my  holy  oil  have  I 
anointed  him:  With  whom  my 
hand  shall  be  established;  mine 
arm  also  shall  strengtlien  him. 
The  enemy  shall  not  exact  upon 
him;  nor  the  son  of  wickedness 
afflict  him.  His  seed  also  will  I 
make  to  endure  for  ever,  and  his 
throne  as  the  days  of  heaven.  Hut 
thou  hast  cast  off  and  abhorred, 
thou  hast  been  wroth  wiiii  thine 
anointed.  Thou  hast  made  void 
the  covenant  of  thy  servant;  th^u 
hast  profaned  his  crown  t^y  eat- 
ing it  to  the  ground. 

Ps.  cxxxli,  11,  12,  17,  18.  The 
Lord  hath  sworn  in  truth  unto 
David,  he  will  niit  turn  from  it; 
Of  the  fruit  of  thy  body  will  I  set 
upon  thy  throne.  If  thy  cliildren 
will  keep  my  covenant  and  my 
testimony  tliat  I  shall  teach  tliera, 
their  children  shall  also  sit  upon 
thy  throne  for  evermore.  Tliera 
will  I  make  the  horn  of  David  to 
bud:  I  have  ordained  a  lamp  for 
mine  anointed.  His  enemies  will 
I  clothe  with  shame;  but  upon 
himself  shall  his  crown  flourish.

city  being  in  an  uproar?  And 
Zadok  the  priest,  and  Nathan  the 
prophet,  have  anointed  him  king 
in  Gihon;  and  they  are  come  up 
from  thence  rejoicing,  so  that  the

hinder  thee  from  coming  unto  me; 
For  I  will  promote  thee  unto  very 
great  honour,  and  I  will  do  what- 
soever thou  sayest  unto  me:  come 
therefore,  I  pray  thee,  curse  me 
this  people.  And  Balak  said  unto 
Balaam,  Did  I  not  earnestly  send 
unto  thee  to  call  thee?  wherefore 
earnest  thou  not  unto  me  ?  am  I 
not  able  indeed  to  promote  thee 
to  honour? 

Num.  xxiv,  11.  Therefore  now

thee  back  from  honour.

vants, Know  ye  not  that  there  is 
a  prince  antl  a  great  man  fallen 
this  day  in  Israel?  And  I  am  this 
day  weak,  though  anointed  king :

are  upon  thee,  that  thou  shouldest 
tell  them  who  shall  sit  on  the 
throne  of  my  lord  the  king  after 
him.  Otherwise  it  shall  come  to 
pass,  when  my  lord  the  king  shall 
sleep  with  his  fathers,  that  I  and 
my  son  Solomon  shall  he  counted 
offenders.  And  Nathan  said,  My 
lord,  O  king,  hast  thou  said,  Adon- 
ijah shall  reign  after  me,  and  he 
shall  sit  upon  my  throne?  .  .  . 
behold,  they  eat  and  drink  before

servant, and  Zadok  the  priest,  anil 
Benaiah  the  son  of  Jehoiada,  and 
thy  servant  Solomon  hath  he  not 
called.  Is  this  thing  done  by  my 
lord  the  king,  and  thou  hast  not 
sliowed  it  unto  thy  servant,  who 
should  sit  on  the  throne  of  my 
lord  the  king  after  him?  And 
king  David  said,  Call  me  Zadok 
the  priest,  and  Nathan  the  pro- 
phet, and  Benaiah  the  sou  of  Je- 
hoiada. And  they  came  before 
the  king.  The  king  also  said 
unto  them.  Take  with  you  the 
servants  of  your  lord,  and  cause 
Solomon  my  son  to  ride  upon 
mine  own  mule,  and  bring  him 
down  to  Gihon:  And  let  Zadok 
the  priest  and  Nathan  the  prophet 
anoint  him  there  king  over  Israel: 
and  blow  ye  with  the  trumpet, 
and  say,  God  save  king  Solomon. 
Then  ye  shall  come  up  after  iiim, 
that  he  may  come  and  sit  upon 
my  throne;  for  he  shall  be  king  in 
my  stead:  and  I  have  appointed 
him  to  be  ruler  over  Israel, 
and  over  Judah.  And  Solomon 
said.  If  he  will  show  himself  a 
worthy  man,  there  shall  not  an 
hair  of  him  fall  to  the  earth  :  but 
if  wickedness  shall  be  found  in 
him,  he  shall  die.

GOOD   KINGS. 

1  Kings  v,  7.  And  it  c«me  to 
pass,  when  Hiram  heard  the 
words  of  Solomon,  that  he  re- 
joiced greatly,  and  said,  Blessed

but  with  kings  are  they  on  the 
throne;  yea,  he  doth  establish 
tiiem  for  ever,  and  they  are 
exalted. 

Prov.  xvi,  12, 13,  It  is  an  abom- 
ination to  kings  to  commit  wick- 
edness: for  tiie  tlirone  is  establish-

right.

scattereth  away  all  evil  with  his

wicked,  and  hiingetii  the  wheel 
over  them.  The  spirit  of  man  is 
the  cundle  of  the  Lord,  searcliing 
all  the  inward  parts  of  the  belly. 
Mercy  and  trulli  preserve  tlie 
king;  and  his  throne  is  upholden 
by  mercy. 

Frov.  XXV,  5.  Take  away  the

Frov.  xxlx,  2,  14.  When  the

away;  for  tlie  people  offered  and 
burnt  incense  yet  in  the  high 
places. 

Amaziah. 
2  Kings  xiv,  3.  And  he  did  that 
which  was  ligiit  in  the  siglit  of  the

in  the  Lord  God  of  Israel;  so  that 
after  him  was  none  like  him 
among  all  the  kings  of  Judah,  nor 
any  that  were  before  him.  For 
he  clave  to  xhe  Lord,  and  de- 
parted not  from  following  him, 
but  kept  his  commaiulments, 
which  the  Lord  commanded 
Moses. 

JOSIAH. 

2  Kings  xxii,  2.  And  he  did

and  all  the  people  came  to  Reho- 
boam  the  third  day,  as  the  kuig 
had  appointed,  saying,  Come  to 
me  again  the  third  day.  And  the 
king-  answered  the  people  roughly, 
and  forsook  the  old  men's  counsel 
tliat  they  gave  him;  And  spake  to 
them  after  the  counsel  of  the 
young  men,  saying.  My  father 
made  your  yoke  heavy,  and  I 
will  add  to  your  yoke;  my  father 
also  chastised  you  with  whips,  Itut 
I  will  chastise  you  with  scor- 
pions. 

2  Erne's  viii,  12,13.  And  Hazael 
said.  Why  weepeth  my  lord?  And 
he  answered,  Because  I  know  the 
evil  that  thou  wilt  do  unto  the 
children  of  Israel:  their  strong 
holds  wilt  thou  set  on  fire,  and 
their  young  men  wilt  thou  slay 
with  the  sword,  and  wilt  dash 
their  children,  and  rip  up  their 
women  with  child.  .  .  .  The 
Lord  hath  showed  me  that  thou 
Shalt  be  king  over  Syria. 

2  Kings  xxi,  16.  Moreover, 
Minasseh  shed  innocent  blood 
very  much,  till  he  had  filled  Jeru-

ivhich  teas  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord. 

2  Qhron.  xxi,  4.  Now,  when  Je- 
horam  was  risen  up  to  the  king- 
dom of  his  father,  he  strengthened 
himself,  and  slew  all  liis  brethren

of  the  princes  of  Israel. 

Neh.  V,  4.  Tliere  were  also  that

be  diverse  from  all  kingdoms,  and 
Bhall  devour  the  wtiole  earth,  and 
shall  tread  it  down,  and  break  it 
in  pieces. 

Hos.  V,  10,  11.  The  princes  of 
Judah  were  like  them  that  re- 
move the  bound:  therefore  I  will 
pour  out  my  wrath  upon  them 
like  water.  Ephraim  is  oppressed 
and  broken  in  judgment,  because 
he  williligly  walked  after  the 
commandment. 

Mlca7i  iii,  1-3.  And  I  said.  Hear, 
I  pray  you,  O  heads  of  Jacob,  and 
ye  princes  of  the  house  of  Israel; 
Is  it  not  for  you  to  know  judg- 
ment? Who  hate  the  good  and 
love  the  evil,  who  pluck  off 
their  skin  from  oflf  them,  and 
their  flesh  from  off  their  bones ; 
Who  also  eat  the  flesh  of  my  peo- 
ple, and  flay  their  skin  from  off 


them;  and  they  break  their  bones, 
and  chop  them  in  pieces,  as  for 
the  pot,  and  as  flesh  within  the 
caldron. 

Zeph.  iil,  3.  Her  princes  within 
her  are  roaring  lions;  her  judges 
are  evening  wolves;  they  gnaw 
not  the  bones  till  the  morrow. 

Idolatry. 

1  Kings  xxii,  53  For  he  [Ahaz- 
iah]  served  Baal,  and  worshipped 
him,  and  provoked  to  anger  the 
Lord  God  of  Israel,  according  to 
all  that  his  father  had  done. 

2  Kings  xxi,  20-22.  And  he 
[Amon]  (lid  that  rcMch  was  evil  in 
the  sight  of  the  Lord,  as  his  fatlier 
Manasseh  did.  And  he  walked  in 
all  the  wnys  that  his  father  walked 
in.  and  served  the  idols  that  his 
father  served,  and  worshipped 
them:  And  he  forsook  the  Lord 
God  of  his  fathers,  and  walked 
not  in  the  way  of  the  Loru. 

2  Qhron.  xxviii,2.  For  he  [Ahaz] 
walked  in  the  ways  of  the  kings 
of  Israel,  and  made  also  molten 
images  for  Baalim. 

2  Qhron.xxxi\\.2,22.  But  [Man- 
asseh] did  that  which  was  evil  in 
tiie  sight  of  the  Lord,  like  unto 
the  abominations  of  the  heathen, 
whom  the  Lord  had  cast  out  be- 
fore the  children  of  Israel.  But 
he  [Amon]  did  that  v^hich  was  e\il 
in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  as  did 
Manasseh  his  father:  for  Amon 
sacriflced  unto  all  the  carved 
images  which  Manasseh  his  father 
had  made,  and  served  them. 

2  Kings  xxi,  9.  But  they  hear- 
kened not:  and  Manasseh  seduced 
them  to  do  more  evil  than  did  the 
nations  whom  tlie  Lord  destroyed 
before  the  children  of  Israel. 

2  Chron.  xxxiii,  9.  So  Manasseh 
made  Judah  and  the  inhabitants 
of  Jerusalem  to  err,  and  to  do 
worse  than  the  heathen,  whom 
the  Lord  had  destroyed  before 
the  children  of  Israel. 


Ps.  xii,  8.  The  wicked  walk  on 
every  side,  when  the  vilest  men 
are  exalted. 

Prov.  xxviii,  15,  16,  28.  As  a 
roaring  lion,  and  a  ranging  bear; 
so  is  a  wicked  ruler  over  the  poor 
people.  The  prince  that  wanteth 
understanding  is  also  a  great  op- 
pressor: but  he  that  hateth  covet- 
ousness  shall  prolong  his  days. 
When  the  wicked  rise,  men  hide 
themselves:  but  when  they  perish, 
the  righteous  increase. 

Eccles.  iv,  18,  14.  Better  is  a 
poor  and  a  wise  child  than  an  old 
and  foolish  king,  who  will  no 
more  be  admonished.  For  out  of 
prison  he  coraeth  to  reign;  where- 
as also  he  that  is  bom  in  his  king- 
dom becometh  poor. 


Tsa.  Ix,  16.  For  the  leaders  of 
this  people  cause  them  to  err;  and 
they  that  are  led  of  them  are  de- 
stroyed. 

Isa.  xlx,  11,  13.  Stirely  the 
princes  of  Zoan  are  tools,  the 
counsel  of  the  wise  counsellors  of 
Pharaoh  is  become  brutish:  how 
say  ye  unto  Pharaoh,  I  am  the 
son  of  the  wise,  the  son  of  ancient 
kings?  The  princes  of  Zoan  are 
become  fools,  the  princes  of  Noph 
are  deceived;  they  have  also  se- 
duced Egypt,  even  they  that  are 
the  stay  of  the  tribes  tliereof. 

Dan.  xl,  36.  And  the  king  shall 
do  according  to  his  will;  nnd  he 
shall  exalt  himself,  and  magnify 
himself  above  every  god,  and 
shall  speak  marvellous  tilings 
against  the  God  of  gods,  and  shall 
prosper  till  the  inilignation  be 
accomplished:  for  that  that  is  de- 
termined shall  be  done. 

SEVERE  THREATENING 
AGAINST  KINGS. 

1  Sam.  xii,  25.  But  if  ye  shall 
still  do  wickedly,  ye  shall  be  con- 
sumed, both  ye  and  your  king. 

2  Kings  iii,  14.  And  Elisha  said, 
As  the  Lord  of  hosts  livetli,  before 
whom  I  stand,  surely,  were  it  not 
that  I  regard  the  presence  of  Je- 
hoshaphat  the  king  of  Judah,  I 
would  not  look  toward  thee,  nor 
see  thee. 

Ps.  Ixxvi,  12.  He  shall  cut  off 
the  spirit  of  princes:  he  is  terrible 
to  the  kings  of  the  earth. 
Ps.  cxlix,6-9.  Let  the  high  praises 
of  God  be  in  their  mouth,  and  a 
two-edged  sword  in  their  hand. 
To  execute  vengeance  upon  the 
heathen,  and  punishments  upon 
the  people;  To  bind  their  kings 
with  chains,  and  their  nobles  with 
fetters  of  iron;  To  execute  upr-m 
them  the  judgment  written:  this 
honour  have  all  his  saints.  Praise 
ye  the  Lord. 

Isa.  X,  1-4.  Woe  unto  them  that 
decree  unrighteous  decrees,  and 
that  write  grievousness  lofiich  they 
have  prescribed;  To  turn  aside  the 
needy  from  judgment,  and  to  take 
away  the  right  from  the  poor  of  my 
people,  that  widows  may  be  their 
prey,  and  that  they  may  rob  the 
fatherless!  And  what  will  ye  do 
in  the  day  of  visitation,  and  in  the 
desolation  lohich  shall  come  from 
far?  to  whom  Avill  ye  flee  for  help? 
and  where  will  ye  leave  your 
glory?  Without  me  they  shall 
bow  down  under  the  prisoners, 
and  they  shall  fall  under  the  slain. 
For  all  this  his  anger  is  not  turned 
away,  but  his  hand  is  stretched 
out  still. 

Isa.  xxiv,  21,  22.  And  it  shall 
come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  the 
Lord  shall  punish  the  host  of  the 
high  ones  thai  are  on  hi^h,  and

In  the  pit,  and  shall  be  shut  up  in 
the  prison,  and  after  many  aays 
shall  they  be  visited. 

Isa.  XXX,  33.  For  Tophet  Is  or-

Jer.  xxii,  6, 18,  24-27.  For  tlms 
saith  the  Lord  unto  the  king's 
house  of  Judah,  Thouari  Gilead 
unto  me,  and  the  head  of  Le- 
banon: yet  surely  I  will  make 
thee  a  wilderness,  and  cities 
which  are  not  inhabited.  There- 
fore thus  saith  the  Lord  concern- 
ing Jehoiakim  the  son  of  Joslah 
king  of  Judah,  They  shall  not 
lament  for  him,  saying,  Ah  my 
brother!  or,  Ah  sister  1  they  shall 
not  lament  for  him,  saying,  Ah 
lord!  or,  Ah  his  glory!  As  I  live, 
saith  the  Lord,  though  Coniahthe 
son  of  Jehoiakim  king  of  Judah 
were  the  signet  upon  my  right 
himd,  yet  would  I  pluck  thee 
thence;  And  I  will  give  thee  into 
tiie  hand  of  them  that  seek  thy 
life,  and  into  the  hand  of  them 
whose  face  thou  fearest,  even 
into  the  hand  of  Nebuchadrezzar 
king  of  Babylon,  and  into  the 
hand  of  the  Chaldeans.  And  I 
will  cast  thee  out,  and  thy  mother 
that  bare  thee,  into  another  coun- 
try, where  ye  were  not  born;  and 
there  shall  ye  die.  But  to  the 
land  whereunto  they  desire  to 
return,  tliither  shall  they  not 
return. 

Jer.  xlix,  38.  And  I  will  set  my

Their  Punishments. 

2  Kings  ix,  14-16,  27.  So  Jehu 
the  son  of  Jehoshaphat,  the  son 
of  Nirashi,  conspired  against 
Joram:  (now  Joram  had  kept 
Kamoth-giiead,  he  and  all  Israel, 
because  of  Hazael  king  of  Syria: 
But  king  Joram  was  returned  to 
be  healed  in  Jezreel  of  the  wounds 
which  the  Syrians  had  given  him, 
when  lie  fought  wilh  Hazael  king 
of  Syria:)  and  Jehu  said,  If  it  be 
your  minds,  then  let  none  go  forth 
nor  escape  out  of  the  city  to  go  to 
tell  it  in  Jezreel.  So  Jehu  rode 
in  a  chariot,  and  went  to  Jezreel; 
(for  Joram  lay  there.)  And  Aha- 
ziah  king  of  Judah  was  come 
down  to  see  Joram.  But  when 
Ahaziah  the  kingof  Judah  siwthis, 
he  fled  by  the  way  of  the  garden- 
house:  and  Jehu  followed  after 
him,  and  said.  Smite  him  also  in 
the  chariot.  And  they  did  so  at 
the  going  up  to  Gur,  which  is  by 
Ibleam:  and  he  fled  to  Megiddo, 
and  died  there. 

2  Chron.  xxli,  7-9.  And  the  de- 
struction of  Ahaziah  was  of  God 
by  coming  to  Joram:  for,  when 
he  was  come,  he  went  out  with 
Jehoram  against  Jehu  the  son  of 
Nimshi,  whom  the  Lord  had 
anointed  to  cut  off  the  house  of 
Ahab.  And  it  came  to  pass,  that, 
when  Jehu  was  executing  judg- 
ment upon  the  house  of  Ahab,  and 
found  the  princes  of  Judah,  and 
the  sons  of  the  brethren  of  Aha- 
ziah, that  ministered  to  Aliaziah, 
he  slew  them.  And  he  sought 
Ahaziali:  and  they  caught  him, 
(for  lie  was  hid  in  Samaria,)  and 
brought  him  to  Jehu;  and  when 
they  had  slain  him,  they  buried 
him:  Because,  said  they,  he  is  the 
son  of  Jelioshaphat,  who  sought 
the  Lord  with  all  his  heart.  St> 
the  house  of  Ahaziah  had  no 
power  to  keep  still  tlie  kingdom. 


Job  xil,  19-22.  He  leadeth 
princes  away  siioijed.  and  over- 
throweththemighty.  Heremoveth 
away  the  speech  ot  tlie  trusiy,  and 
t.iketh  away  the  understanding 
of  the  aged.  He  poureth  contempt 
upon  princes,  and  Aveakeneth  the 
strength  of  the  mighty.  He  dis- 
covereth  deep  things  out  of  dark- 
ness, and  bringeth  out  to  light  the 
shadow  of  death. 

Fs.  cvii,  40.  He  poureth  con-

of  God.    Whosoever  therefore  re- 


sfsteth  the  power,  reslsteth  the 
ordinanc3  of  God;  and  they  that 
resist  shall  receive  to  themselves 
damnation.  For  rulers  are  not  a 
terror  to  good  works,  but  to  the 
evil.  Wilt  thou  then  not  be  afraid 
of  the  power?  Do  that  which  is 
good,  and  thou  shalt  have  praise 
of  the  same:  For  he  Is  the  minis- 
ter of  God  to  thee  for  good.  But 
if  thou  do  that  which  is  evil,  be 
afraid;  for  he  beareth  not  the 
sword  in  vain:  for  he  is  the  minis- 
ter of  God,  a  revenger  to  execute 
wrath  upon  him  that  doeth  evil.

governors  as  unto  them  that  are 
sent  by  him  for  the  punishment 
of  eviliJoers,  and  for  the  praise  of 
them  that  do  well.  For  so  is  the

Saul's  servants  spake  these  words 
in  the  ears  of  David.  And  David 
said,  Seemeth  it  to  you  a  light 
thing  to  be  a  king's  son-in-law, 
seeing  that  I  am  a  poor  man,  and 
lightly  esteemed?

If  half  of  us  die,  will  they

David  arose,  and  cut  off  the  skirt 
of  Saul's  robe  privily.  And  it 
came  to  pass  alterward,  that 
David's  heart  smote  him,  because 
he  had  cut  off  Saul's  skirt.  And 
lie  said  unto  his  men.  The  Lord 
forbid  that  I  should  do  this  thing 
unto  my  master,  the  Lord's 
anointed,  to  stretch  lorth  mine 
hand  against  him,  seeing  he  is  the 
anointed  of  the  Lord.  So  David 
stayed  his  servants  with  these 
words,  and  suffered  them  not  to 
rise  against  Saul.  But  Saul  rose 
up  out  of  the  cave,  and  went  on 
his  way.  And  David  said  to  Saul, 
Wherefore  hearest  thou  men's 
words,  saying,  Behold,  David 
seeketh  thy  hurt?  The  Lord 
judge  between  me  and  thee,  and 
the  Lord  avenge  me  of  thee;  but 
mine  hand  shall  not  be  upon  thee. 
As  saith  the  proverb  of  the 
ancients,  Wickedness  proceedeth 
from  the  wicked:  but  miue  hand 
shall  not  be  upon  thee. 

1  Sam.  xxvi,9-ll,  23.  And  David 
said  to  Abishai,  Destroy  him  not: 
for  who  can  stretch  forth  his 
hand  against  the  Lord's  anointed, 
and  be  guiltless?  David  said 
furthermore,  As  the  Lord  liveth, 
the  Lord  shall  smite  him;  or  his 
day  shall  come  to  die;  or  he  shall 
descend  into  battle,  and  perish. 
The  Lord  forbid  that  I  should 
stretch  forth  mine  hand  against 
the  Lord's  anointed:  but,  1  pray 
thee,  take  thou  now  the  spear 
that  is  at  his  bolster,  and  the 
cruse  of  water,  and  let  us  go.  The 
Lord  render  to  every  man  his 
righteousness  and  his  faithfulness: 
for  the  Lord  delivered  thee  into 
m7j  hand  to-day,  but  1  would  not 
stretch  forth  mine  hand  against 
the  Lord's  anointed. 

2  Sam.  xix,  7-12,  14-17,  41-43- 
Now  therefore  arise,  go  forth,  and 
speak  comfortably  unto  thy  ser- 
vants: for  I  swear  by  the  Lord,  if 
thou  go  not  forth,  there  will  not 
tarry  one  with  thee  this  night;  and 
that  will  be  worse  unto  liiee  than 
all  the  evil  that  befell  thee  from 
thy  youth  until  now.  Then  the 
king  arose,  and  sat  in  the  gate. 
And  they  told  unto  all  the  people, 
saying.  Behold,  the  king  doth  sit 
in  the  gate.  And  all  the  people 
came  before  the  king;  for  Israel 
had  fled,  every  man  to  his  tent. 
And  all  the  people  were  at  strife 
throughout  all  the  tribes  of  Israel, 
saying,  The  king  saved  us  out  of 
the  hand  of  our  enemies,  and  he 
delivered  us  out  of  the  hand  of 
the  Philistines:  and  now  he  is  lied 


MAGISTRATES, 


out  of  the  land  for  Absalom.  And 
Absalom,  whom  we  anointed  over 
us,  is  dead  in  battle:  now  there- 
fore why  speak  ye  not  a  word  of 
bringing  the  king  back?  And 
king  David  sent  to  Zadok  and  to 
Abiathar  tlie  priests,  saying.  Speak 
unto  the  elders  of  Judah.  saying, 
Why  are  ye  the  last  to  bring  the 
king  b:ick  to  his  house?  seeing  the 
speech  of  all  Israel  is  come  to  tlie 
king,  even  to  his  house.  Ye  are 
my  bretliren,  ye  are  my  bones  and 
my  flesh:  wherefore  then  are  ye 
the  last  to  bring  back  the  king? 
And  he  bowed  the  heart  of  all  the 
men  of  Judah,  even  as  the  heart  of 
one  man;  so  that  they  sent  this 
word  unto  the  king,  Return  thou, 
and  all  thy  servants.  So  tlie  king 
returned,  and  came  to  Jordan. 
And  Judah  came  to  Gilgal,  to  go 
to  meet  the  king,  to  comluct  tlie 
king  over  Jordan.  And  Sliiniei 
the  son  of  Gera,  a  Benjaniite, 
wliichwas  of  Bahiirim,  hasted  and 
came  down  witli  the  men  of 
Judah  to  meet  lung  David.  And 
there  were  a  thousand  men  of 
Benjamin  with  him,  and  Ziba  the 
servant  of  the  house  of  Saul,  and 
bis  fifteen  sons  and  his  twenty 
servants  with  him;  and  they  went 
over  Jordan  before  the  king.  And, 
behold,  all  the  men  of  Israel  came 
to  the  king,  and  said  unto  the 
king,  Wliy  liave  our  brethren,  the 
men  of  Judaii,  stolen  thee  away, 
and  .have  brouglit  the  king  and 
his  houseliold,  and  all  David's  men 
with  him,  over  Jordan?  And  all 
the  men  of  Judah  answered  the 
men  of  Israel,  Because  tlie  king 
is  near  of  kin  to  us:  wherefore 
then  be  ye  angry  for  this  mattd? 
have  we  eaten  at  all  of  the  king's 
cosif  or  hath  he  given  us  any  gili? 
And  the  men  of  Israel  answered 
the  men  of  Juilah,  and  said.  We 
have  ten  parts  in  the  king,  and  we 
have  also  more  rujht  in  David 
than  ye:  why  then  did  ye  despise 
us,  that  our  advice  should  not  be 
first  had  in  bringing  back  our 
king?  And  the  words  of  the  men 
of  Judah  were  fiercer  than  the 
words  of  the  men  of  Israel. 

2  Sam.  XX,  11.  And  one  of  Joab's 
Men  stood  by  him,  and  said.  He 
that  favoureth  .Joab,  and  he  that 
U  for  David,  let  him  go  after  J^j^b. 

1  Kings  i,49.  And  all  the  guests 
that  icere  with  Adouijuh  were 
afraid,  and  rose  up,  and  went 
every  man  his  way. 

2  Sam.  xvi,  16.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  when  llushai  the  Archite, 
David's  friend,  was  come  unto 
Absalom,  that  Husliai  said  unto 
Absalom,  God  save  the  king,  God 
save  the  king. 

FALSE  ACCUSATIONS  OP 

TREASON. 
I  Sam.  xxii,  7,  8,  11-16.    Then 


Saul  said  unto  all  his  servants 
that  stood  about  him.  Hear  now. 
ye  Benjamites;  will  the  son  of 
Jesse  give  every  one  of  you  fields 
and  vineyards,  and  make  you  all 
captains  of  thoiisands,  and  cap- 
tains of  liundreds;  That  all  of  you 
have  conspired  against  me,  and 
there  is  none  that  sheweth  me 
that  my  son  hath  made  a  league 
with  the  sou  of  Jesse;  and  there  is 
none  of  you  that  is  sorry  for  me, 
or  sheweth  unto  me  that  my  son 
hath  stirred  up  my  servant  against 
me,  to  lie  in  wait,  as  at  this  day? 
Then  the  king  sent  to  call  Ahime- 
lech  the  priest,  the  son  of  Ahitub, 
and  all  his  father's  house,  the 
priests  that  were  In  Nob:  and 
they  came  all  of  them  to  the  king. 
And  Saul  said.  Hear  now,  thou 
son  of  Ahitub.  And  he  answered, 
Here  I  am,  my  lord.  And  Saul 
said  unto  him.  Why  have  ye  con- 
spired against  me,  thou  and  the 

son  of  Jesse Then  Ahime- 

lech  answered  the  king,  and  said, 
And  who  is  so  faithful  among  all 
thy  servants  as  David,  which  is 
th«  king's  son-in-law,  and  goeth 
at  thy  bidding,  and  is  honourable 
in  thine  house?  Did  I  then  be- 
gin to  enquire  of  God  for  him?  be 
it  far  from  me:  let  not  the  king 
impute  any  thing  unto  his  ser- 
vant, nor  to  all  the  house  of  my 
fatlier:  for  thy  servant  knew 
nolliing  of  all  this,  less  or  more. 
And  the  king  said,  Thou  slialt 
surely  die,  Ahimelech,  thou,  and 
all  thy  father's  house. 

2  Chron.  xxiii,  12,  13.  Now, 
when  Athaliah  heard  the  noise  of 
the  people  running  and  praising 
the  king,  she  came  to  the  people 
into  the  house  of  the  Lord:  And 
she  looked,  and,  behold,  the  king 
stood  at  ids  pillar  at  the  entering 
in,  and  the  princes  and  the  trum- 
pets by  tlie  king:  and  all  the 
people  ;of  the  land  rejoiced,  and 
sounded  with  trumpets;  also  the 
singers  with  instruments  of 
musick,  and  such  as  taught  to 
sing  praise.  Then  Athaliah  rent 
her  clothes,  and  said.  Treason, 
treason! 

Ezra  iv,  12-19.  Be  it  known 
unto  the  king,  that  the  Jews 
which  came  up  from  thee  to  us 
are  come  unto  Jerusalem,  build- 
ing the  rebellious  and  the  bad 
city,  and  have  set  up  the  walls 
thereof,  and  joined  the  founda- 
tions. Be  it  known  now  unto  the 
king,  that  if  this  city  be  budded, 
and  the  walls  set  up  again,  then 
will  tliey  not  pay  toll,  tribute,  and 
custom,  and  so  thou  shalt  en- 
damage the  revenue  of  the  kings. 
Now,  because  we  have  main- 
tenance from  the  king's  palace, 
and  it  was  not  meet  for  us  to  see 
the  king's  dishonour,  therefore 
have  we  sent  and  certified  the 
king.  That  search  may  be  made 
873 


In  the  book  of  the  records  of  thy 
fathers:  so  shalt  thou  find  in  the 
book  of  the  records,  and  know, 
that  this  city  is  a  rebellious  city, 
and  hurtful  unto  kings  and 
provinces,  and  that  they  have 
moved  sedition  within  the  same 
of  old  time;  for  which  cause  was 
this  city  destroyed.  We  certify 
the  king,  that  if  this  city  be 
bnilded  again,  and  the  walls 
thereof  set  up,  by  this  means  thuu 
Shalt  have  no  portion  on  this  side 
tlie  river.  Then  sent  the  king  an 
answer  unto  Rehum  the  chan- 
cellor, and  to  Shimshai  the  scribe, 
and  to  the  rest  of  their  compan- 
ions tliat  dwell  inS  imaria.andimto 
the  rest  beyond  the  river.  Peace, 
and  at  such  a  time.  The  letter 
wliich  ye  sent  unto  us  hath  been 
plainly  read  before  me.  And  I 
commanded,  and  search  hath 
been  made,  and  it  is  found  that 
this  city  of  old  time  hath  made 
insurrection  against  kings,  and 
that  rebellion  and  sedition  have 
been  made  therein. 

Neh.  vi,  6,  7.  Wherein  was 
written.  It  is  reported  among  the 
heathen,  and  Gashmu  saith  it, 
that  thou  and  the  Jews  think  to 
rebel:  for  which  cause  thou  build- 
est  the  wall,  that  thou  mayest 
be  their  king,  according  to  these 
words.  And  thou  hast  also  ap- 
pointed prophets  to  preach  of 
thee  at  Jerusalem,  saying,  There 
is  a  king  in  Judah:  and  now  shall 
it  be  reported  to  the  king  accord- 
ing to  these  words.  Come  now 
therefore,  and  let  us  take  counsel 
together. 

Ajnos  vii,  9-11.  And  the  high 
places  of  Isaac  shall  be  desolate, 
and  the  sanctuaries  of  Israel  sliall 
b'^  laid  wa8te;and  I  will  rise  agains', 
the  house  of  Jeroboam witli  the 
sword.  Then  Amaziab,  the  priest 
of  Beth-el,  sent  to  Jeroboam  king 
of  Israel,  saying,  Amos  hath  con- 
spired against  thee  in  tlie  midst 
of  the  house  of  Israel:  the  land  is 
not  able  to  bear  all  his  words. 
For  thus  Amos  saith,  Jeroboam 
shall  die  by  the  sword,  and  Israel 
shall  surely  be  led  away  captive 
out  of  their  own  land. 

Instances  of  Treason. 
Num.  xvi,  1-3.  Now  Korah  the 
son  of  Izhar,  the  son  of  Koliath, 
the  son  of  Levi;  and  Dathan  and 
Abiram,  the  sons  of  Eliab;  and  On, 
the  son  of  Peleth,  sous  of  Reuben, 
took  men:  And  they  rose  up  be- 
fore Moses,  with  certain  of  the 
children  of  Israel,  two  hundred 
and  fifty  princes  of  the  assembly, 
famous  in  the  congregation,  men 
of  renown.  And  they  gathered 
themselves  together  against 
Moses  and  against  Aaron,  and 
said  unto  them.  Ye  take  too  much 
upon  you,  seeing  all  the  congrega- 
tion are  holy,  every  one  of  them,

and  tho  Lord  (3  aTnoTi<?  them: 
wherefore  then  lift  ye  up  your- 
selves above  the  congregation  of 
the  Lord? 

Judges  i\,  26.  28,  29.  And  Gaal 
the  son  of  Kbed  came  with  his 
brethren,  and  went  over  to 
Shechem:  and  the  men  of  Shechem 
put  tlieir  confidence  in  him.  And 
Gaal  the  son  of  Ebed  said,  Who 
is  Abimelech.and  who  is  Sliediem, 
that  we  should  serve  him?  is  not 
he  the  son  of  Jernbbaal?  and 
Zebnl  his  officer?  Serve  tlie  men 
of  Hamor  the  father  of  Shechem; 
for  why  sliould  we  serve  him? 
And  would  to  God  this  people 
were  under  my  hand!  then  would 
I  remove  Abimelech.  And  he 
said  to  Abimelech,  Increase  thine 
army,  and  come  out. 

2  Sam.  XV,  9, 10, 12-15.  And  the 
king  said  unto  Idm,  Go  in  peace. 
So  lie  arose,  and  went  to  Hebron. 
But  Absalom  sent  spies  through- 
out all  the  tribes  of  Israel,  saying, 
As  soon  as  ye  hear  the  sound  of 
the  trumpef.,  tlien  ye  shall  say, 
Absalom  reip,iieth  in  Hebron. 
And  Absiilom  sent  for  Ahitliophel 
tiie  Gilonite,  David's  counsellor, 
from  his  city,  even  from  Giloh, 
while  he  offered  sacrifices:  and 
the  cons[>iracy  was  strong;  for  the 
people  increased  continually  with 
Absalom.  And  there  came  a 
messenger  to  David,  saying,  Tiie 
hearts  of  the  men  of  Israel  are 
after  Absalom.  And  David  said 
unto  all  liis  servants  that  vjcre 
with  him  at  Jerusalem,  Arise,  and 
let  us  flee;  for  we  shall  not  else 
escape  from  Absalom:  make  speed 
to  depart,  lest  he  overtalte  us 
suddenly,  and  bring  evil  upon 
us.  and  smite  the  city  with  the 
edge  of  the  sword.  And  the 
king's  servants  said  unto  the 
king,  Bidiold,  thy  servants  are 
ready  to  do  whatsioever  my  lord 
the  king  shall  appoint. 

2  Sam.  XX,  1,  2.  And  there  hap- 
pened to  be  there  a  man  of  Bulial, 
whose  name  ivas  Sheba,  the  son 
of  liichii,  a  Benjamite;  and  he  blew 
a  trumpet,  and  said.  We  have  no 
part  in  David,  neitlier  have  we 
inheritance  in  the  son  of  Jesse: 
every  man  to  his  tents,  O  Israel. 
So  every  m>n  of  Israel  went  up 
from  after  David,  and  followed 
Sheba  the  son  of  Bicliri:  but  tlie 
men  of  Judah  clave  unto  their 
king,  from  Jordan  even  to  Jerusa- 
lem. 

2  Qfiron.  xxiv,  26.  And  these 
are  tliey  that  conspired  against 
him;  Zabad  the  son  of  Shimeath 
an  Ammonitess,  and  Jeliozabad 
the  sou  of  Sliimrith  a  Moabitess. 

PUNISHMENT. 

2  Sam.  XX,  21,  22.  Tlie  matter  is 

not  so:  hut  a  man  of  mount  E|)h- 

raim,  (Sheba  the  son  of  Bicliri  by 

name,)  UatU  lified  up  his  hand 


aeratnst  the  king,  even  again.et 
David;  deliver  him  only,  and  I  will 
depart  from  tlie  city.  And  the 
woman  said  unto  Joa'b,  Behold,  his 
head  shall  be  thrown  to  thee  over 
the  wall.  Then  the  woman  went 
unto  all  the  people  in  her  wisdom: 
and  they  cut  off  the  head  of  Sheba 
the  son  of  Bichri,  .and  cast  it  ouL 
to  Joab.  And  he  blew  a  trumpet, 
and  they  retired  from  the  city, 
every  man  to  his  tent.  And  Joab 
returned  to  Jerusalem  unto  the 
king. 

1  Kings  xtI,  7.  And  nlso  by  the 
hand  of  the  prophet  Jehn  the  son 
of  Hanani  came  the  word  of  the 
Lord  against  Baasha,  and  against 
Ills  house,  even  for  all  the  evil 
that  he  did  in  the  siglit  of  the 
Lord,  in  provoking  him  to  anger 
with  the  work  of  his  hands,  in 
being  like  the  house  of  Jeroboam; 
and  because  he  killed  him. 

2  Kings  xiv,  6.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  as  soon  as  the  kingdom  was 
confirmed  in  his  hand,  that  he 
[Aniaziali]  slew  liis  servants  which 
had  slain  the  king  his  father. 

Esther  ii,  21-23.  In  those  days, 
while  Mordecii  sat  in  the  king's 
gate,  two  of  the  king's  chamber- 
lains, Dlgthan  and  Teresh,  of  those 
which  kept  the  door,  were  wroth, 
and  sought  to  lay  hand  on  king 
Ahasuerus.  And  the  thing  was 
known  to  Mordecai,  who  toUl  it 
unto  Esther  the  queen;  and  Esther 
certified  the  king  thereof  in 
Mordecai's  name.  And  when  in- 
quisition was  made  of  the  matter, 
it  was  found  out;  therefore  they 
were  both  hanged  on  a  tree:  and 
it  was  written  in  the  book  of  the 
Chronicles  before  the  king. 

Esther  vi,  2. 3.  And  it  was  found 
written,  that  Mordecai  had  told  of 
Bigtliana  ami  Teresh,  two  of  the 
king's  chamberlains,  the  keepers 
of  tlie  door,  who  sought  to  lay 
hand  on  the  king  Ahasuerus.  And 
the  king  said.  What  iKmour  and 
dignity  hath  been  done  to  Mor- 
decai for  tlii.s?  Then  said  the 
king's  servants  that  ministered 
unto  liim.  There  is  nothing  done 
for  him. 

REVOLUTIONS 

1  Sam.  xiii.  13,  14.  And  Samuel 
.«aid  to  Saul,  Thou  liast  done  fool- 
ishly: thou  hast  not  kept  the  com- 
mandment of  the  Lord  thy  God, 
which  he  commanded  thee;  for 
now  would  the  Lord  have  estal> 
lished  thy  kingdom  upon  Israel 
fiT  ever.  But  now  thy  kingdom 
sliall  not  continue:  the  Loru  hath 
sougtit  him  a  man  after  his  own 
heart,  and  the  Lord  hath  com- 
manded him  to  be  captain  over  his 
people,  because  thou  hast  not  kept 
t/uit  which  the  Lord  commanded 
thee. 

1  Sam.  XV,  26-28.  And  Samuel 
said  uuto  Saul,  I  will  not  ruiuru 
871 


with  th'^p:  for  thou  hast  rejecfcd 
the  word  of  the  Louo,  and  the 
Lord  liath  rejected  thee  from 
being  king  over  Israel.  And  aa 
Samuel  turned  about  to  go  away, 
lie  laid  hoM  upon  the  skirt  of  liis 
mantle,  and  it  rent.  And  Samuel 
said  unto  him.  The  Lord  hath 
rent  the  kingdom  of  Israel  from 
thee  this  day.  and  hath  given  it  to 
a  neighbour  of  thine,  tliat  is  better 
than  thou. 

1  Kings  xi.  26,  31.  And  Jero- 
boam  the  son  of  Nebat.  an  Ephra- 
Ihite  ofZereda.  Solomon's  servant, 
(wliose  mother's  name  icas  Zeruah, 
a  widow  woman,)  even  he  lifted 
up  his  hand  against  tlie  kin?.  And 
he  said  to  Jeroboam,  Take  tliee 
ten  pieces;  for  thus  saith  the 
Lord,  tlie  (iod  of  Israel,  Behold,  I 
will  rend  the  kingdom  out  oi  the 
hand  of  Solomon,  and  will  give 
ten  tribes  to  thee. 

1  Ki7igs  xii,  15. 16, 19,20.  Where- 
fore the  king  hearkened  not  unto 
the  people;  for  the  cause  was  from 
the  Lord,  that  he  might  perform 
his  saying,  wliich  the  Lord  spake 
by  Ahijih  the  Sliilonite  unto  Jer- 
oboam the  son  of  Nebat.  So  when 
all  Israel  saw  that  the  king  hear- 
kened not  unto  them,  the  people 
answered  the  king,  saying.  What 
portion  have  we  in  David?  neither 
have  toe  inheritance  in  the  son  of 
Jesse;  to  your  tents,  O  Israel:  now 
see  to  thine  own  house,  David. 
So  Israel  departed  uuto  their 
tents.  So  Israel  rebelleii  against 
the  house  of  David  unto  this  day. 
And  it  came  to  pass,  when  all  Is- 
rael heard  that  Jeroboam  was 
come  again,  that  they  sent  and 
called  him  unto  the  congregation, 
and  made  him  king  over  all  Is- 
rael: there  was  none  that  followed 
tiie  house  of  David  but  the  tribe 
of  Judah  only. 

2  Qhron.  x.  16, 17.  And  when  all 
Israel  ,^aw  that  the  king  would 
not  hearken  unto  them  the  people 
answered  the  king,  saying,  What 
portion  liaA'e  we  in  DavitI?  and  loe 
have  none  inheritance  in  the  son 
of  Jesse;  every  man  to  your  tents, 
O  Israel :  and  now,  David,  see  to 
thine  own  house.  So  all  Israel 
went  to  their  tents.  But  as  for 
the  children  of  Israel  that  dwelt 
in  tlie  cities  of  Judali,  Rehoboam 
reigned  over  them. 

2  Qhron.  xiii,  6,7.  Yet  Jeroboam 
the  son  of  Nebat,  the  servant  of 
Solomon  the  son  of  David,  is  risen 
up,  and  hath  rebelled  against  his 
lord.  And  there  are  gathered 
unto  him  vain  men,  the  children 
of  Belial,  and  have  strengthened 
themselves  against  Rehoboam  the 
son  of  Solomon,  when  Rehoboam 
was  young  and  tender-hearted, 
and  could  not  withstand  them. 

Jer.  xxii,  29,  30.  O  earth,  earth, 
earth,  hear  the  word  of  the  Lord: 
Tiius  saltb  the  Lord,  Write  ye

this  man  childless,  a  man  that  shall 
not  prosper  in  liis  days:  for  no  man 
of  Lis  seed  shall  prosper,  sittiag 
upon  the  throne  of  David,  and 
ruling  any  more  in  Judah. 

Ezek.  xxl,  25-27.  And  thou,  pro- 
fane wicked  prince  of  Israel, 
wliose  day  is  come,  when  iniquity 
shall  have  an  end;  Thus  saitli  the 
Lord  God,  Remove  the  diadem, 
and  take  off  the  crown;  this  shall 
not  be  the  same:  exalt  him  that  is 
low,  and  abase  him  that  is  high. 
I  will  overturn,  overturn,  over- 
turn it:  and  it  shall  be  no  more, 
until  he  come  wliose  right  it  is; 
and  I  will  give  it  him. 

REVOLTS. 
Gen.  xlv,  4.  Twelve  years  they 
eerved  Chedorlaomer,  anil  in  the 
thirteenth  year  they  rebelled, 

2  Kings  i,  1.  Then  Moab  rebelled 
against  Israel  after  the  death  of 
Ahab. 

2  KincfS  iii,  5.  But  it  came  to 
pass,  when  Ahab  was  dead,  that 
the  king  of  Moab  rebelled  against 
the  king  of  Israel. 

2  Kings  viii,  20-22.  In  his  days 
Edora  revolted  from  under  the 
hand  of  Judah,  and  made  a  king 
over  themselves.  So  Joram  went 
over  to  Zair  and  all  the  chariots 
with  him;  and  he  rose  by  nigiit, 
and  smote  the  Edomites  which 
compassed  him  about,  and  the 
captains  of  the  chariots:  and  the 
people  fled  into  their  tents.  Yet 
Edom  revolted  from  under  the 
iiand  of  Judah  unto  this  day. 
Then  Llbnah  revolted  at  the  same 
time. 

2  Qhron.  xxi,  8*10.  In  his  days 
the  Edomites  revolted  from  under 
the  dominion  of  Judah,  and  made 
themselves  a  king.  Then  Jeho- 
ram  went  forth  with  his  princes, 
and  all  his  chariots  with  him:  and 
he  rose  up  by  night,  and  smote 
the  Edomites  which  compassed 
him  in,  and  the  captains  of  the 
chariots.  So  the  Edomites  re- 
volted from  under  the  hand  of 
Judah  unto  this  day.  The  same 
time  also  did  Libnah  revolt  from 
under  his  hand;  because  he  had 
forsaken  the  Lobd  God  of  his  fa- 
thers. 

2  Kings  xvil,  3,  4.  Against  him 
came  up  Slialmaneser  king  of 
Assyria;  and  Hoshea  became  his 
servant,  and  gave  him  presents. 
And  the  king  of  Assyria  found 
conspiracy  in  Hoshea:  lor  he  had 
sent  messengers  to  So  king  of 
Egypt,  and  brought  no  present  to 
the  king  of  Assyria,  as  he  had  done 
year  by  year;  therefore  the  king 
of  Assyria  shut  him  up,  and  bound 
him  in  prison. 

2  Kings  xviii,  7.  And  the  Lord 
was  with  him  and  he  prospered 
whithersoever  he  went  forth:  and 


he   rebelled  against  the  king  of 
Assyria,  and  served  him  not. 

REGICIDE. 

Judges  iii,  17,  18,  21.  And  he 
brouglit  the  present  unto  Eglon 
king  of  Moab:  and  Eglon  was  a 
very  fat  man.  And  wlien  he  had 
made  an  end  to  oflfer  the  present, 
he  sent  away  the  people  that  bare 
the  present.  And  Ehud  put  forth 
his  left  hand,  and  took  the  dagger 
from  his  right  thigh,  and  thrust  it 
into  his  belly. 

2  Sam.  iv,  8, 9.  And  they  brought 
the  head  of  Ish-bosheth  unto  Da- 
vid to  Hebron,  and  said  to  the 
king,  Behold  the  head  of  Ish-bo- 
sheth the  son  of  Saul  thine  enemy, 
which  sought  thy  life;  and  the 
Lord  hath  avenged  my  lord  the 
king  this  day  of  Saul,  and  of  his 
seed.  And  David  answered  Re- 
chab  and  Baanah  his  brother,  the 
sons  of  Rimmon  the  Beerothite, 
and  said  unto  them,  As  the  Lord 
liveth  who  hath  redeemed  my 
soul  out  of  all  adversity. 

1  Kings  XV,  27,  28.  And  Baasha 
the  son  of  Ahijah,  of  the  house  of 
Issacliar,  conspired  against  him: 
and  Baasha  smote  him  at  Gibbe- 
thon,  which  belonged  to  the  Phil- 
istines ;  (for  Nadal)  and  all  Israel 
laid  siege  to  Gibbethoii;)  Even  in 
the  tliird  year  of  Asa  king  of  Ju- 
dah did  Baasha  slay  him,  and 
reigned  in  his  stead. 

1  Kings  xvi,2, 3, 9.  Forasmuch  as 
I  exalted  thee  out  of  the  dust, 
and  made  thee  prince  over  my 
people  Israel;  and  thou  hast 
walked  in  the  way  of  Jeroboam, 
and  hast  made  my  people  Israel 
to  sin,  to  provoke  me  to  anger 
with  their  sins;  Behold,  I  will 
take  away  the  posterity  of  Baasha, 
and  the  posterity  of  his  house; 
and  will  make  thy  house  like  the 
house  of  Jeroboam  the  son  of 
Nebat.  And  his  servant  Zimri, 
captain  of  half  his  chariots,  con- 
spired against  him,  as  he  was  in 
Tirzah,  drinking  himself  drunk  in 
the  house  of  Arza,  steward  of  his 
house  in  Tirzah, 

2  Kings  ix,  7-9, 31-33.  And  thou 
Shalt  smite  the  house  of  Ahab- thy 
master,  that  I  may  avenge  the 
blood  of  my  sex'vants  the  prophets, 
and  the  blood  of  all  tlie  servants 
of  the  Lord,  at  the  hand  of  Jeze- 
bel. For  the  whole  house  of  Ahab 
shall  perish:  and  I  v'iil  cut  off  from 
Ahab  him  that  pisselu  against  the 
wall,  and  him  that  is  shut  up  and 
lett  in  Israel.  And  I  will  make 
the  house  of  Ahab  like  the  house 
of  Jeroboam  the  son  of  Nebat,  and 
like  the  house  of  Baasha  the  son 
of  Ahijah.  And  as  Jehu  entered 
in  at  the  gate,  she  said,  Had  Zimri 
peace,  who  slew  his  master?  And 
he  lifted  up  his  face  to  the  win- 
dow, and  said.  Who  is  on  my  side? 

876 


who?  And  there  looked  out  to 
him  two  or  three  eunuclis.  And 
he  said.  Throw  her  down.  So  they 
threw  her  down;  and  5om«  of  her 
blood  was  sprinkled  on  the  wall, 
and  on  the  horses:  and  he  trode 
her  under  fox/t, 

2  Kings  xi,  16,  20.  And  they 
laid  hands  on  I'er;  and  she  went 
by  the  way  by  the  which  the 
horses  came  into  the  king's  house: 
and  there  was  she  slain.  And  all 
the  people  of  the  land  rejoiced, 
and  the  city  was  in  quiet:  and 
they  slew  Athaliah  with  the  sword 
beside  the  king's  house, 

2  Kings  xii,  20.  And  his  servants 
arose  and  made  a  conspiracy,  and 
slew  Joash  in  the  house  of  Miilo, 
which  goeth  down  to  Silla, 

2  Kings  xlv,  19.  Now  they  made 
a  conspiracy  against  him  in  Jeru- 
salem: and  he  fled  to  Lachish;  but 
they  sent  after  him  to  Lachish,  and 
slew  him  there, 

2  Kings  xv,  10,  30.  And  Shallnm 
the  son  of  Jabesh  conspired 
against  him  and  smote  him  before 
the  people,  and  slew  him,  and 
reigned  in  liis  stead.  And  Hoshea 
tiie  son  of  Elah  made  a  conspiracy 
against  Pekah  the  son  of  Rema- 
liah,  and  smote  him,  and  slew  him, 
and  reigned  in  his  stead,  in  the 
twentieth  year  of  Jotham  the  son 
of  Uzziah. 

2  Kings  xxi,  23.  And  the  ser- 
vants of  Amon  conspired  against 
him,  and  slew  the  king  in  his  own 
house, 

2  ghron.  xxiii,  14,  15,  21.  Th^^n 
Jehoiada  the  priest  brought  out 
the  captains  of  hundreds  that  were 
set  over  the  host,  and  said  unto 
them,  Have  her  forth  of  the 
ranges;  and  whoso  foUoweth  her, 
let  him  be  slain  with  the  sword. 
For  the  priest  said,  Slay  her  not 
in  the  house  of  the  Lord.  So  they 
laid  hands  on  her:  and  when  she 
was  come  to  the  entering  of  the 
horse-gate  by  the  king's  house, 
they  slew  her  there.  And  all  the 
people  of  the  land  rejoiced;  and 
the  city  was  quiet,  after  that  they 
had  slain  Athaliah  with  the 
sword. 

2  Ghron.  xxv,  27,  28.  Now  after 
the  time  that  Amaziah  did  turn 
away  from  following  the  Lord, 
they  made  a  conspiracy  against 
him  in  Jerusalem;  and  he  fled  to 
Lachish:  but  they  sent  to  Lactiisii 
after  him,  -and  slew  him  llicro. 
And  they  brought  him  upon 
horses,  and  buried  him  with  his 
fathers  in  the  city  of  Judah. 

2  Qhron.  xxxiii.  24.  And  his  ser- 
vants conspired  against  him,  and 
slew  him  [Amon]  in  his  own  house.

MAGISTR  \TE3. 


pass,  when  he  he{?an  to  relsni,  as 
soon  as  he  sat  on  his  throne,  that 
he  slew  all  the  house  of  Baasha: 
he  left  him  not  one  that  pisseth 
Bgainsta  wall,  neither  of  his  kins- 
lulks,  nor  of  his  friends. 

2  Kings  X,  6-11, 14, 17.  Then  he 
wrote  a  letter  the  second  time  to 
them,  saying,  If  ye  be  mine,  and  if 
ye  will  hearken  unto  my  voice, 
take  ye  the  heads  of  the  men 
your  master's  sons,  and  come  to 
me  to  Jezreel  hy  to-morrow  this 
time.  (Now  the  king's  sons, 
heing  seventy  persons,  were 
with  the  great  men  of  the  city, 
which  brought  them  up.)  And  it 
came  to  pass,  when  the  letter 
came  to  them,  that  they  took  the 
king's    sons,  and  slow  seventy 


persons,  and  put  their  hea(?s  te 
baskets,  and  sent  him  them  to 
Jezreel.  And  there  came  a  mes- 
senger, and  told  him,  saying. 
They  have  brought  the  heads  of 
the  king's  sons.  And  he  said, 
Lay  ye  them  in  two  heaps  at  the 
entering  in  of  the  gate  until  the 
morning.  And  it  came  to  pass  in 
the  morning,  that  he  went  out, 
and  stood,  and  said  to  all  the 
people.  Ye  be  righteous:  behold,  I 
conspired  against  my  master,  and 
slew  him;  butwlio  slew  all  these? 
Know  now,  that  there  shall  fall 
unto  the  earth  nothing  of  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  wldch  the 
Lord  spake  concerning  the  house 
of  Aliab:  tor  the  Lord  hath  done 
that  which  he  spake  by  his  ser- 
vant Elijali.  So  -t^huslew  all  that 
8i6 


remained  of  the  honse  of  Ahab.  In 
Jezreel,  and  all  his  great  men, 
and  his  kinsfolks,  and  his  priests, 
until  he  left  him  none  remaining. 
And  he  said,  Take  them  alive. 
And  they  took  them  alive,  and. 
slew  them  at  tlie  pit  of  the  shear- 
ing-house, even  two  and  torty 
men;  neither  left  he  any  of  them . 
And  when  he  came  to  Samaria, 
he  slew  all  that  remained  unto 
Ahab  in  Samaria,  till  he  had  des- 
troyed him,  according  to  tlie  say- 
ing of  the  Lord,  whicli  he  spako

MAN.-SPIRITUAL. 

HIS  FIRST  STATE. 

Gen.  \,  27.  So  God  created  man 
in  his  ovm  image,  in  the  image  of 
God  created  he  him 

Gen.  V,  1 In  the  day  tliat 

God  created  mnn.  in  the  lilieuess 
of  God  made  he  him. 

Gen.  ix,  6.  Whoso  sheddeth 
man's  blood,  by  man  shall  his 
blood  be  shed:  for  in  the  image  of 
God  made  he  man. 

Ps.  viii.  5.  For  thou  hast  made 
him  a  little  lower  than  the  angels, 
and  hast  crowned  him  with  glory 
and  honour. 

Eccles.  vli,  29.  Lo,  this  only 
hiive  I  found,  that  God  hath  made 
man  upright;  but  they  have  sought 
out  many  inventions. 

(7o?.  iii,  10.  And  have  put  on  the 
new  man,  which  is  renewed  in 
knowledge  after  the  image  of  him 
that  created  him. 

James  iii,  9.  Therefore  bless  we 
God,  even  the  Father;  and  there- 
with curse  we  men,  which  are 
made  after  the  similitude  of  God. 

HIS  FIRST  ABODE. 
Gen.  ii,  8-17.  And  the  Lord 
God  planted  a  garden  eastward 
in  Eden;  and  there  he  put  the 
man  whom  he  had  formed.  And 
out  of  the  ground  made  the  Lob  > 
God  to  grow  every  tree  that  is 
pleasant  to  the  sight,  and  good 
for  food;  the  tree  of  life  also  in  the 
midst  of  the  garden,  and  the  tree 
of  knowledge  of  good  and  evil. 
And  a  river  went  out  of  Eden  to 
water  the  garden;  and  from 
thence  it  was  parted,  and  became 
into  four  heads.  The  name  of  the 
first  is  Pison:  that  is  it  which 
compasseth  the  whole  land  of 
Havilah,  where  there  is  gold. 
And  the  gold  of  that  land  is  goud: 


there  is  bdellium  and  the  onyx- 
stone.  And  ilie  name  of  the 
second  river  is  Gihon:  the  same  is 
it  that  compasseth  the  whole  land 
of  Ethiopia.  And  the  name  of  the 
third  river  is  Iliddekel:  that  is  it 
which  goeth  toward  the  east  of 
Assyria.  And  the  fourth  river  is 
Euphrates.  And  the  Lord  God 
took  the  man,  and  put  him  into 
the  garden  of  Eden  to  dress  it  and 
to  keep  it.  And  the  Lord  com- 
manded the  man,  saying.  Of 
every  tree  of  the  garden  thou 
niayest  freely  eat;  But  of  tlie  tree 
of  the  knowledge  of  good  and  evil, 
thou  Shalt  not  eat  of  it:  for  in  the 
day  tliat  thou  eatest  thereof  thou 
Shalt  surely  die. 

Gen.  xiii,  10.' And  Lot  lifted  up 
his  eyes,  and  beheld  all  the  plain 
of  Jordan,  that  it  was  well 
watered  every  where,  before  the 
Lord  destroyed  Sodom  and  Go- 
morrah, even  as  the  garden  of  the 
Lord,  like  the  land  of  Egypt,  as 
thou  comest  unto  Zoar. 

Isa.  11,  3,  For  the  Lord  shall 
comfort  Zion:  he  will  comfort  all 
her  waste  places;  and  he  will 
make  her  wilderness  like  Eden, 
and  her  desert  like  the  garden  of 
the  Lord;  joy  and  gladness  shall 
be  found  therein,  thanksgiving, 
and  the  voice  of  melody. 

Ezelc.  xxvlii,  13.  Thou  hast 
been  in  Eden  the  garden  of  God; 
every  precious  stone  icas  thy 
covering,  the  sardius,  topaz,  and 
the  diamond,  the  beryl,  tlie  onyx, 
and  the  jasper,  the  sapphire,  the 
emerald,  and  the  carbuncle,  and 
gold:  the  workmanship  of  thy 
tabrets  and  of  thy  pipes  was  pre- 
pared in  thee  in  the  day  that  thou 
wast  created. 

Ezek.  xxxi,  18.  To  whom  art 
thou  thus  like  in  glory  and  in 
greatness  among  the  trees  of 
Eden?  yet  shalt  thou  be  brought 
down  with  the  trees  of  Eden  unto 
the  nether  parts  of  the  earth: 
thou  Shalt  lie  in  the  midst  of  the 
uncircumcised  with  them  that  be 
slain  by  the  sword.  This  is 
Pharaoh  and  all  his  multitude 
saith  the  Lord  God.  ' 

Joel  il,  3.  A  fire  devoureth 
before  them,  and  behind  them  a 
flame  burneth:  the  land  is  as  the 
garden  of  Eden  before  them,  and 
beWnd  them  a  desolate  wilder- 
877 


ness;    yea,   and    nothing    shall 
escape  them. 

Bev.  il,  7.  He  thSt  hath  an  ear 
let  him  hear  what  the  Spirit 
saith  unto  the  churches;  To  him 
that  overcometh  will  I  give  to  eat 
of  the  tree  of  life,  which  is  in  the 
midst  of  the  paradise  of  God. 

THE  FALL. 
Gen.  iii,  1-6,  8-14,  22-24.  Now 
the  serpent  was  more  subiile  than 
any  beast  of  the  field  which  the 
Lord  God  had  made.  And  he 
said  unto  the  woman.  Yea,  hath 
God  said.  Ye  shall  not  eat  of 
every  tree  of  the  garden  ?  And 
the  woman  saiil  unto  the  serpent, 
We  may  eat  of  the  fruit  of  the 
trees  of  the  garden:  But  of 
the  fruit  of  the  tree  which  is  in 
the  midst  of  the  garden,  God 
hath  said,  Ye  shall  not  eat  of  it, 
neither  shall  yc  touch  it,  lest  ye 
die.  And  the  serpent  s-aid  ur.to 
the  woman,  Ye  shall  not  surely 
die:  For  God  doth  know,  that  in 
the  day  ye  eat  thereof,  tlien  your 
eyes  shall  he  opened;  and  ye  shall 
be  as  gods,  knowing  good  and 
evil.  And  wlien  the  woman  saw 
that  the  tree  was  good  lor  food, 
and  that  it  was  pleasant  to  the 
eyes,  and  a  tree  to  be  desired  to 
make  one  wise,  she  took  of  the 
fruit  thereof,  and  did  eat;  and  gave 
also  unto  her  husband  with  her, 
and  he  did  eat.  And  they  heard 
the  voice  of  the  Lord  God  walk- 
ing in  the  garden  in  the  cool  of 
the  day:  and  Adam  and  his  wife 
iiid  themselves  fiom  the  presence 
of  the  Lord  God  amongst  the 
trees  of  the  garden.  And  the 
Lord  God  called  unto  Adam, 
and  said  unto  him.  Where  art 
th(m?  And  he  said,  I  heard  thy 
voice  in  the  garden,  and  I  was 
afraid,  because  1  was  naked:  and 
I  hid  myself.  And  he  said.  Who 
told  thee  that  thou  wast  naked? 
Hast  thou  eaten  of  the  tree, 
whereof  I  commanded  thee  that 
thou  shouldest  not  eat?  And  the 
man  said.  The  woman  whom  thou 
gavest  to  be  with  me,  she  gave  me 
of  the  tree,  and  I  did  eat.  And 
the  Lord  God  said  unto  the 
woman.  What  is  this  that  thou 
hast  done?  And  the  woman  said 
The  serpent  beguiled  me,  and  I 
did  eat.  And  the  Lord  God  said 
unto  the  serpent,  because  thou 
hast  done  this,  thou  art.  cursed

Bhalt  tlirm  go,  and  rlust  stialt  thou

the  LoKD  God  said,  Hehold,  the

lest  he  put  forth  his  hand,  and

the  Lord  God  sent  him  forth  from 
the  garden  of  Eden,  to  till  the 
ground  from  whence  he  was 
taken.  So  he  drove  out  the  man: 
and  he  placed  at  the  east  of  the 
garden  of  Eden  cheruV)ims,  and  a 
flaming  sword  whicli  turned  every 
way,  to  keep  the  way  of  the  tree 
of  life. 

Joh  xxxi,  33.  If  I  covered  my 
transgressions  as  Adam,  by  liid- 
ing  mine  iniquity  iu  my  bosom. 

Eccles.  vii,  29.  Lo,  tliis  only  have 
I  found,  that  God  hath  made  man 
upright;  but  they  have  sought  out 
many  inventions. 

Isa.  xliii,  27,  28.  Thy  first  father 
hath  sinned,  and  thy  teachers 
have  transgressed  against  me. 
Therefore  1  have  profaned  the 
princes  of  the  sanctuary,  and  Iiave 
given  Jiicob  to  the  curse,  and 
Israel  to  reproaches. 

Ezek.  xxviii,  15.  Thou  wast  per- 
fect in  thy  ways  irom  the  day  that 
thou  wast  created,  till  iniquity  was 
found  in  thee. 

Hosea  vi,  7.  But  they,  like  men, 
have  transgressed  the  covenant: 
there  have  tliey  dealt  treacherous- 
ly against  me. 

Bom.  V,  12-14.  Wherefore,  as  by 
one  man  sin  entered  into  tlie  world, 
and  death  by  sin;  and  so  death 
passed  upon  all  men,  for  that  all 
have  sinned:  (For  until  the  law 
Bin  was  in  the  world:  but  sin  is 
not  imputed  when  there  is  no 
law.  Nevertheless  death  reigned 
from  Adam  to  Moses,  even  over 
them  that  had  not  sinned  altrr  the 
similitude  of  Adam's  transgres- 
sion, who  is  the  figure  ot  him  that 
was  to  come. 

2  Qor.  xi,  3.  But  I  fear,  lest  by 
any  means,  as  the  serpent  be- 
guiled lOve  through  his  subtilty, 
so  your  minds  should  be  corrupted 
from  the  simplicity  that  is  in 
Christ. 

HUMAN  DEPRAVITY. 

GREAT. 

6en.  vi,  5.  And  Goo  saw  that 
the  wickedness  of  man  icas  great 
in  the  earth,  and  that  evei-y  ima- 
gination of  the  thoughts  of  his 
heart  was  only  evil  continually. 

Deut.  xxxii,  5.  They  have  cor- 
rupted themselves;  their  spot  is 
not  the  spot  of  his  children:  the// 
are  a  perverse  and  crooked  gene- 
ration. 


Jer.  vi,  7.  As  a  fountain  casteth 
out  her  waters,  so  she  casteth  out 
her  wickedness :  violence  and 
spoil  is  heard  in  her,  before  me 
continually  is  grief  and  wounds. 

Jiom.  viii,  7,  8.  Because  the 
carnal  mind  is  enmity  against 
God:  for  it  is  not  subject  to  the 
law  of  God,  neither  indeed  can  be. 
So  then  they  that  are  in  the  flesh 
cannot  please  God. 

1  Cor.  ii,  14.  But  the  natural 
man  receiveth  not  the  things  of 
the  Spirit  of  God:  for  they  are 
foolishness  unto  him;  neitlier  can 
he  know  them,  because  they  are 
spiritually  discerned. 

Gal.  V,  17.  For  the  flesh  lusteth 
against  the  Spirit,  and  the  Spirit 
against  the  flesh:  and  these  are 
contrary  tlie  one  to  the  otlier ;  so 
that  ye  cannot  do  the  things  that 
ye  would. 

Uph.  iv,  18.  Having  the  under- 
standing darkened,  being  alien- 
ated from  the  life  of  God  througli 
the  ignorance  that  is  in  them, 
because  of  the  blindness  of  their 
heart. 

Titus  ^iil,  3.  For  we  ourselves 
also  M  ere  sometimes  foolish,  dis- 
obedient, deceived,  serving  divers 
lusts  and  pleasures,  living  in  ma- 
lice and  envy,  hateful,  and  haling 
one  another. 

Universal. 

Gen.  vi,  11, 12  The  earth  also 
was  corrupt  before  God;  and  the 
earth  was  filled  with  violence. 
And  God  looked  upon  the  eartli, 
and,  behold,  it  was  corrupt:  for 
all  fiesh  had  corrupted  his  way 
upon  the  earth. 

Fs.  xiv,  1,  3.  .  .  .  There  is  none 
that  doeth  good.  They  are  all  gone 
aside,  they  are  all  together  be- 
come filthy;  there  is  none  that 
doeth  good,  no,  not  one. 

Isa.  lix,  3,  4.  For  your  hands  are 
defiled  with  blood,  and  your 
fingers  with  iniquity;  your  lips 
have  spoken  lies,  your  tongue 
hath  muttered  perverseness.  None 
calleth  for  justice,  nor  any  plead- 
eth  for  truth:  they  trust  iu  vanity, 
and  speak  lies;  they  conceive 
mischief,  and  bring  forth  ini- 
quity. 

Jer.  ii,  29.  Wherefore  will  ye 
plead  with  me?  ye  all  have 
transgressed  against  me,  saith  the 
Lord. 

Micah  vii,  2,  4.  The  good  man 
is  perished  out  of  the  earth;  and 
there  is  none  upright  among  men: 
they  all  lie  in  wait  for  blood, 
they  hunt  every  man  his  brother 
with  a  net.  The  best  of  them  is 
as  a  brier;  the  most  upright  is 
sharper  than  a  thorn-hedge:  the 
day  of  thy  wafclunen  and  tiiy 
visitation  cometh;  now  shall  be 
their  perplexity.

Som.  iii,  9-12 18-20.  What  then? 
are  we  better  than  they?  No,  in  no 
wise ;  for  we  have  before  proved 
both  Jews  and  Gentiles,  tliat  th  ^y 
are  all  under  sin;  As  it  is  wiitien, 
There  is  none  righteous,  no,  not 
one:  There  is  none  tliat  under- 
standeth,  there  is  none  that  seek- 
eth  after  God.  They  are  all  gone 
out  of  the  way,  they  are  togetiier 
become  unprofitable;  there  is 
none  that  doeth  good,  no,  not 
one.  There  is  no  fear  of  God  be- 
fore their  eyes.  Now  we  know, 
that  what  things  soever  the  law 
saifh,  it  saith  to  them  who  are 
under  the  law;  that  every  mouth 
may  be  stopped,  and  all  the  world 
may  become  guilty  before  God. 
Tlierefore  by  the  deeds  of  the 
law  there  shall  no  flesh  be  justified 
in  his  sight:  for  by  the  law  is  the 
knowledge  of  sin. 

Hereditary. 
Job  xiv,  4.    Who  can  bring  a 
clean  thing  out  of  an  unclean?  not 
one. 

Job  XV,  14-16.  What  is  man, 
that  he  should  be  clean  ?  and  he 
which  is  born  of  a  woman,  tliat 
he  should  be  righteous?  Behold, 
he  putteth  no  trust  in  his  saints; 
yea,  the  heavens  are  not  clean  in 
his  sight;  How  much  more  abom- 
inable and  filthy  is  man,  which 
drinketh  iniquity  like  water? 

Job  XXV,  4-6.  How  then  can 
man  be  justified  with  God?  or  how 
can  he  be  clean  that  is  born  of  a 
woman?  Behold  even  to  the  moon, 
and  it  shiueth  not ;  yea,  the  stars 
are  not  pure  in  his  siglit:  II  ow 
much  less  man,  that  is  a  worm, 
and  the  son  of  man,  which  is  a 
worm? 

Ps.  Ii,  5.  Behold,  I  was  shapen 
in  iniquity;  and  in  sin  did  my  mo- 
ther conceive  me. 

Isa.  Ii,  1.  Hearken  to  me,  ye 
that  follow  after  righteousness,  ye 
that  seek  the  Lord:  look  unto  the 
rock  whence  ye  are  hewn,  and  to 
the  hole  of  the  pit  whence  ye  are 
digged. 

Eph.  ii,  3 And  were  by 

nature  the  cliildren  of  wrath,  even 

as  others. 

Early  Manifested. 
Gen.  viii,  21 The  imagi- 
nation of  man's  heart  ia  evil  from 
his  youth 

Ps.  Iviii,  3  The  wicked  are 
estranged  from  the  womb;  they 
go  astray  as  soon  as  they  be  born, 
speaking  lies. 

Isa.  xlviii,  8 For  I  knew 

that  thou  would  est  deal  very 
treacherously,  and  wast  called  a 
transgressor  from  the  womb. 


MAN. 


Forms  op  Manifestation. 

Job  xxii,  5.  Is  not  thy  wicked- 
ness great?  and  thine  iniquities 
infinite? 

Ps.  V,  9.  For  there  is  no  faith- 
fulness in  their  mouth ;  their  in- 
ward part  is  veiy  wicliedness; 
their  tliroat  is  an  open  sepulchre; 
they  flatter  with  their  tongue. 

Ps.  Iv,  10,  11.  Day  and  night 
they  go  about  it  upon  the  walls 
thereof:  mischief  also  and  sorrow 
are  in  the  midst  of  it.  Wickedness 
is  in  the  midst  thereof:  deceit 
and  guile  depart  not  from  her 
streets. 

Prov.  vi,  16-19.  These  BixtMngs 
doth  the  Lord  liate;  yea,  seven  are 
an  abomination  unto  him:  A  proud 
look,  a  lying  tongue,  and  hands 
that  shed  innocent  blood,  An 
heart  that  deviseth  wicked  imag- 
inations, feet  that  be  swift  in  run- 
ning to  mischief,  A  false  witness 
that  epeaketh  lies,  and  him  that 
Boweth  di.>;cord  among  brethren. 

Isa.  lix.  7,  8.  Their  feet  run  to 
evil,  and  they  make  haste  to  ghed 
innocent  blood:  their  thoughts  are 
thoughts  of  iniquity;  wasting  and 
des.Tuction  are  in  their  paths. 
Tlie  way  of  peace  they  know  not; 
and  there  is  no  judgment  in  their 
goings:  they  have  made  them 
crooked  paths ;  whosoever  goetb 
therein  shall  not  know  peace. 

Jer.  vii,  9,10.  Will  ye  steal,  mur- 
der, and  conmiit  adultery,  and 
Bwear  falsely,  and  burn  incense 
unto  Baal,  and  walk  after  other 
gods  whom  ye  know  not;  And 
come  and  stand  before  me  in  this 
house,  which  is  called  by  my  name, 
and  say.  We  are  delivered  to  do 
all  these  abominations? 

ITos.  iv,  1-3.  Hear  the  word  of 
the  Lord,  ye  children  of  Israel: 
for  the  Lord  hath  a  controversy 
with  the  inhabitants  of  the  land, 
because  there  is  no  truth,  nor 
mercy,  nor  knowledge  of  God  in 
tlie  land,  By  swearing,  and  lying, 
and  killing,  and  stealing,  and 
committhig  adultery,  fhey  break 
out,  and  blood  toucheth  blood. 
Therefore  shall  the  land  mourn, 
and  every  one,  that  dwelleth 
therein  shall  languish,  with  the 
beasts  of  the  field,  and  with  the 
fowls  of  heaven;  yea.  the  fishes  of 
the  sea  also  shall  be  taken 
away. 

liom.  i,  28-32  And  even  as  they 
did  not  like  to  retain  God  in  their 
knowledge,  God  gave  them  over 
to  a  reprobate  mind,  to  do  those 
things  which  are  not  convenient: 
Being  filled  with  all  unrighteous- 
ness fornicatiui,  wickedufss,  cov- 
etousness,  maliciousness;  full  of 
envy,  murder,  debate,  deceit,  ma- 
lignity; whisperers,  Backbiters, 
haters  of  God,  despiteful,  proud, 
boasters  inventors  of  evil  things. 


disobedient  to  parents.  Without 
understanding,  covenant  -  break- 
(>rs,  without  natural  affection,  Im- 
[ilacable,  unmerciful:  Who,  know- 
ing the  judgment  of  God,  that 
they  which  commit  such  things 
are  worthy  of  death,  not  only  do 
the  same,  but  have  pleasure  in 
them  that  do  them. 

Bom.  iii,  13-17.  Their  throat  is 
an  open  sepulchre;  with  their 
tongues  they  have  used  deceit; 
the  poison  of  asps  is  under  their 
lips:  Whose  mouth  is  full  of  curs- 
ing and  bitterness:  Their  feet 
are  swift  to  shed  blood:  Destruc- 
tion and  misery  are  in  their  ways; 
And  the  m  ay  of  peace  have  they 
not  known. 

1  (;!or.  vi,  9,  10.  Know  ye  not 
that  the  unrighteous  shall  not  in- 
herit the  kingdom  of  God?  Be 
not  deceived:  neither  fornicators, 
nor  idolaters,  nor  adulterers,  nor 
effeminate,  nor  abusers  of  them- 
selves with  mankind.  Nor 
thieves,  nor  covetous,  nor  drunk- 
ards, nor  revilers,  nor  extortioners, 
shall  inherit  the  kingdom  of  God. 

Gal.  v,  19-21.  Now  the  works  of 
the  flesh  are  manifest,  which  are 
these;  Adultery,  fornication,  un- 
cleanness,  lasciviousness.  Idola- 
try, witchcraft,  hatred,  variance, 
emulations,  wrath,  strife,  seditions, 
heresies,  Envyings,  murders, 
drunkenness,  revellings,  and  such 
like:  of  the  which  I  tell  you  before, 
as  I  have  also  told  you  in  time 
past,  that  they  which  do  such 
things  shall  not  inherit  the  king- 
dom of  God. 

1  Tim.  i,  9,  10.  Knowing  this, 
that  the  law  is  not  made  for  a 
righteous  man,  but  for  the  lawless 
and  disobedient,  lor  the  ungodly 
and  for  sinners,  for  unholy  and 
profane,  for  murderers  of  fathers 
and  murderers  of  mothers,  for 
manslayers,  For  whoremongers, 
for  them  that  defile  themselves 
with  mankind,  for  men-stealers, 
for  liars,  for  perjured  persons,  and 
if  there  he  any  other  thing  that  is 
contrary  to  sound  doctrine. 

WILFUL  VIOLATIONS  OF 
GOD'S  LAW. 

Deut.  ix,  7,  8, 13,  22-24.  Remem- 
ber, and  forget  not,  how  thou 
provokest  the  Lord  thy  God  to 
wrath  in  the  wilderness:  from  the 
day  that  thou  didst  depart  out  of 
the  land  of  Egypt,  until  ye  ;ame 
unto  this  place,  ye  have  been  re- 
bellious against  the  Lord.  Also 
in  Horeb  ye  provoked  the  Lord 
to  wrath,  so  that  the  Lord  was 
angry  with  you,  to  have  destroyed 
you.  Furtheimore  the  Loud 
spake  unto  me,  saying,  I  have 
seen  this  people,  and,  behold,  it  is 
a  stitr-uecked  people:  And  at 
Taberali,  and  at  Massah,  and  at 
Kibrotli-hattaavah,  ye   provoked 


the  LoBD  to  wrath.  Likewise, 
when  the  Lord  sent  you  from 
Kadesh-barnea,  saying,  Go  up 
and  possess  the  land  which  I  have 
given  you;  then  ye  rebelled  against 
the  commandment  of  the  Lord 
your  God,  and  ye  believed  him  not, 
nor  hearkened  to  his  voice.  Ye 
have  been  rebellious  against  the 
Lord  from  the  day  that  I  knew 
you. 

Ps.  Ixxviil,  17.  And  they  sinned 
yet  more  against  him,  by  provok- 
ing the  most  High  in  the  wilder- 
ness. 

Isa.  v,  18-20.  Woe  unto  them 
that  draw  iniquity  with  cords  of 
vanity,  and  sin  as  it  were  with  a 
cart-rope:  That  say,  Let  him 
make  speed,  and  hasten  his  work, 
that  we  may  see  it;  and  let  the 
counsel  of  the  Holy  One  of  Israel 
draw  nigh  and  come,  that  we  may 
know  iil  Woe  unto  them  that 
call  evil  good,  and  good  evil;  that 
put  darkness  for  light,  and  light 
for  darkness;  that  put  bitter  for 
sweet,  and  sweet  for  bitter! 

Isa.  xxviii,  12.  To  whom  he  said. 
This  is  the  rest  ivhereicith  ye  may 
cause  the  weary  to  rest;  and  this 
is  the  refreshing:  yet  they  would 
not  hear, 

Jer.  iii,  .5.  Will  he  reserve  Ma 
anger  for  ever?  will  he  keep  it  to 
the  end?  Behold,  thou  hast 
spoken  and  done  evil  things  as 
thou  couldest. 

Jer.yi,  16,  17.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Stand  ye  in  the  ways,  and 
see,  and  ask  for  the  old  pathS; 
where  is  the  good  way,  and  walk 
therein,  and  ye  shall  find  rest  for 
your  souls.  But  they  said.  We 
will  not  walk  therein.  Also  I  set 
watchmen  over  you,  saying. 
Hearken  to  the  sound  of  the 
trumpet.  But  they  said.  We  will 
not  hearken. 

Jer.  vii,  23,  24.  But  this  thing  com- 
manded I  them,  saying.  Obey  my 
voice,  and  I  will  be  your  God,  and 
ye  shall  be  my  people;  and  walk 
ye  in  all  the  ways  that  I  have 
commanded  you,  that  it  may  be 
\^  ell  unto  you.  But  they  hearken- 
ed not,  nor  inclined  their  ear,  but 
walked  in  the  counsels  and  in  the 
imagination  of  their  evil  heart, 
and  went  backward,  and  not  for- 
ward. 

Jer.  XXV,  7.  Yet  ye  have  not 
hearkened  unto  me,  saith  the 
Lord;  that  ye  might  provoke  me 
to  anger  with  the  works  of  yoOT 
hands  to  your  own  hurt. 

Jer.  XXXV,  13.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Israel, 
Go  and  tell  the  men  of  Judah,  and 
the  inhabitants  of  Jerusalem,  Will 
ye  not  receive  instruction  to 
hearken  to  my  words?  saith  the 
Lord. 

Jer.  xxxvi,  31.  And  I  will  pun- 


MAN. 


fsh  him,  and  his  seed,  and  his 
servants,  for  their  iniquitj';  and  I 
will  brins?  upon  them,  and  upon 
the  inbabltaiits  of  Jerusalem,  and 
upon  the  men  of  Judah,  all  the 
evil  that  I  have  pronounced 
against  them:  but  they  heariiened 
not. 

Jer.  xliv,  15.  16.  Then  all  the 
men  which  knew  that  their  wives 
had  burnt  incense  unto  other 
gods,  and  all  the  women  that 
stood  by,  a  great  multitude,  even 
all  the  people  that  dwelt  in  the 
land  of  Ep:ypt,  in  Pathros,  answer- 
ed Jeremiah,  saying.  As  for  the 
word  that  thou  hast  spoken  unto 
us  in  the  name  of  the  Loiid^  we 
will  not  hearken  unto  thee. 

SzeJc.  ii,  3-5.  And  he  said  unto 
me.  Son  of  man,  I  send  thee  to  the 
children  of  Israel,  to  a  rebellious 
nation  that  hath  rebelled  against 
me:  they  and  their  fathers  have 
transgressed  against  me.  even 
unto  this  very  day.  For  they  are 
impudent  children,  and  stiff-heart- 
ed. I  do  send  thee  unto  them; 
and  thou  sbalt  say  unto  them. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God.  And 
they,  whether  they  will  hear,  or 
whether  they  will  forbear,  (for 
they  are  a  rebellious  house,)  yet 
shall  know  that  there  hath  been  a 
prophet  among  them. 

Uzek.  xii,  2,  Son  of  man,  thou 
dwellest  in  the  midst  of  a  rebel- 
lious house,  which  have  eyes  to 
see,  and  see  not;  they  have  ears 
to  hear,  and  hear  not:  for  they  are 
a  rebellious  house. 

Ezelc.  xvi,  51,  52.  Neither  hath 
Samaria  committed  half  of  thy 
sins;  but  thou  hast  multiplied 
thine  abominations  more  than 
they,  and  hast  justified  thy  sisters 
in  all  thine  abominations  which 
thou  hast  done.  Thou  also,  whicii 
hast  judged  thy  sisters,  bear  thine 
own  sliame,  for  thy  sins  tliat  thou 
hast  committed  more  abominable 
than  they:  they  are  more  right- 
eous than  thou;  yea,  be  thou  con- 
founded also,  and  bear  tliy  shame. 
in  tliat  tLou  hast  justified  thy 
Bisters. 

Zech.  vii,  12,  Yea,  they  made 
their  hearts  as  an  adamant-stone, 
lest  they  should  hear  the  law,  and 
the  words  which  the  Lord  of 
hosts  hatli  sent  in  his  Spirit  by 
the  former  prophets:  therefore 
came  a  great  wrath  from  the 
LoBu  of  hosts. 


WARNINGS. 
Exod.  XXX  il,  9,  10.  And  the 
LoKo  said  unto  Moses,  1  have 
seen  this  people  and  beliold  it  is 
a  stiff-necked  people.  Noav 
therefore  let  me  alone,  that 
my  wrath  may  wax  hot  against 
tbem,  and  that  I  may  consume 


them;  and  I  will  make  of  thee  a 
great  nation. 

Lev.  xxvi,  23-25.  And  if  ye  will 
not  be  reformed  by  me  by  these 
things,  but  will  walk  contrary 
unto  me;  Then  will  I  also  walk 
contrary  unto  you,  and  will  pun- 
ish you  yet  seven  times  for  your 
sins.  And  I  will  bring  a  sword 
upon  you,  that  shall  avenge  the 
quarrel  of  my  covenant:  and  when 
ye  are  gathered  together  within 
your  cities,  I  will  send  the  pestil- 
ence among  you;  and  ye  shall  bo 
delivei-ed  into  the  hand  of  the 
enemy. 

Num.  XV,  SO,  31.  But  the  soul 
that  doeth  oui/ht  presumptuously, 
{ichether  he  be  born  in  the  land,  or 
a  stranger,)  the  same  reproach  eth 
the  Lord;  and  that  soul  shall  be 
cut  off  from  among  his  people. 
Because  he  hath  despised  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  and  hath 
broken  his  commandment,  that

sewest  up  mine  iniquity. 

Jer.  xix,  15.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Israel, 
Behold,!  will  bring  upon  this  city, 
and  upon  all  her  towns  all  the  evil 
that  I  have  pronounced  against 
it,  because  they  have  hardened 
their  necks,  that  they  might  not 
hear  my  words. 

Jer.  xlii,  20,  21.  For  ye  dis- 
sembled in  j'our  hearts,  when  ye 
sent  me  unto  the  Lord  your  God, 
saying,  Pray  for  us  unto  the  Lord 
our  God;  and  according  unto  all 
that  the  Lord  our  God  shall  say, 
so  declare  unto  us,  and  we  will  do 
it.  And  now  I  have  this  day  de- 
clared it  to  you;  but  ye  have  not 
obeyed  the  voice  of  the  Lord 
your  God,  nor  any  thing  for  the 
which  he  hath  sent  me  unto 
you. 

Ezek.YiW,  18.  Therefore  will  I 
also  deal  in  fury:  mine  eye  shall 
not  spare,  neitlier  will  I  have  pity; 
and  though  they  cry  in  mine  ears 
with  a  loud  voice,  yet  will  I  not 
hear  them. 

Heb.  iii,  7-9,  15.  Wherefore  (as 
the  Holy  Ghost  saith.  To-day,  if 
ye  will  hear  his  voice,  Harden 
not  your  hearts,  as  in  the  provo- 
cation, in  the  day  of  temptation 
in  the  wilderness;  When  your 
fathers  tempted  me,  proved  me, 
and  saw  my  works  forty  years. 
While  it  is  said.  To-day,  il  ye  will 
hear  his  voice,  harden  not  your

Heb.  iv,  7.   Again,  he  llmiteth  a

said,  To -day,  if  ye  will  hear  his

Paul. 

JRom.  vii.  7-25.  What  shall  we 
say  then?  Is  the  law  sin,  God  tor- 
bid.  Nay,  I  had  not  known  sin, 
but  by  tlie  law:  for  I  had  not 
known  lust,  except  the  law  had 
Slid,  Thou  Shalt  not  covet.  But 
sin,  taking  occasion  by  the  com- 
mandment, wrought  in  me  all 
manner  of  concupiscence.  For 
Avithout  the  law  sin  teas  dead. 
For  I  was  alive  without  the  law 
once;  but  when  the  command- 
ment came,  sin  revived,  and  I 
died.  And  the  commandment, 
which  was  ordained  to  life,  I 
found  to  be  unto  death.  For  sin, 
taking  occasion  by  the  command- 
ment, deceived  me,  and  by  it  slew 
me.  Wherefore  the  law  is  holy 
and  the  commandment  holy  and 
just  and  good.  Was  then  that 
which  is  good  made  death  unto 
me?  God  forbid.  But  sin,  that  it 
might  appear  sin,  working  dk^th 
in  me  by  that  which  is  good;  mat 
sin  by  the  commandment  might 
become  exceeding  sinful.  Foi  we 
know  tliat  the  law  is  spiritual; 
but  I  am  carnal,  sold  unjler  sin. 
For  that  which  I  do  I  adow  not: 
for  what  I  Avould,  that  do  1  not; 
but  what  I  hate,  that  do  I.  If 
then  I  do  that  which  I  would  not, 
I  consent  unto  the  law  that  it  is 
good.  Now  then  it  is  no  more  I 
that  do  it,  but  sin  that  dwelleth  in 
me.  For  I  know  that  in  me  (that 
is  in  my  flesli,)  dwelleth  no  good 
thing,  for  to  will  is  present  with 
me;  but  how  to  perform  that 
which  is  good  I  find  not.  For  the 
good  that  I  would  I  do  not:  but 
the  evil  which  I  would  not,  that  I 
do.  Now,  if  I  do  that  1  would  not, 
it  is  no  more  I  that  do  it,  but  sin 
that  dwelleth  in  me.  I  find  then 
a  law,  that,  when  I  would  do 
good,  evil  is  present  with  me.  For 
1  delight  in  the  law  of  God  after 
the  inward  man:  But  I  see  an- 
other law  in  my  members, warring 
against  the  law  of  my  niind,  and 
bringing  me  into  captivity  to  the 
law  of  sin  which  is  in  my  mem- 
bers. O  wretciied  man  that  I  ami 
who  shall  deliver  me  from  the 
body  of  this  death?  I  thank  ^od 
through  Jesus  Clirist  our  Lord. 
So  then  with  the  mind  1  myself 
sjrve  the  law  of  God,  but  with  the 
fiesh  the  law  of  sin. 


2  Qor.  xii,  20.  For  I  fear,  lest,

Mark  viii,  17-21.  And  when 
Jesus  knew  it,  he  saith  unto  them. 
Why  reason  ye  because  ye  have 
no  bread?  perceive  ye  not  yet, 
neither  understand?  have  ye  your 
heart  yet  hardened?  Having  eyes,

BLESSING  OP  WISDOM  AND 

ITS  RESPONSIBILITY. 

2  Cfiron.  ix,  23.  And  all  the 
kings  of  the  earth  sought  the 
presence  of  Solomon,  to  hear  his 
wisdom,  that  God  had  put  in  his 
heart. 

Ps.  cxi,  10.  The  fear  of  the 
Lord  is  the  beginning  of  wisdom: 
a  good  understanding  have  all 
tliey  that  do  his  commandments: 
his  praise  endureth  for  ever. 

Prov.  il,  9-11.  Then  shalt  thou 
understand  righteousness,  and 
judgment,  and  equity;  yea,  every 
good  path.  Wlien  wisdom  enter- 
el  h  into  thine  heart,  and  know- 
ledge is  pleasant  unto  thy  soul; 
Discretion  shall  preserve  thee,  un- 
derstanding shall  keep  thee. 

Prov.  xiii,  14.  The  law  of  the 
wise  is  a  fountain  of  life,  to  depart 
from  the  snares  of  death. 


Prov.  xiv,  10.  The  heart  know- 
eth liis  own  bitterut'ss;  and  a 
stranger  doth  not  intermeddle 
with  his  joy. 

P7'ov.  xvi,  16.  How  much  better 
is  it  to  get  wisdom  tli;in  gold?  and 
to  get  un  ie^^tanding  lather  to  be 
chosen  than  silvei-? 

Prov.  xix,  8.  He  that  getteth 
wisdom  loveth  his  own  snul:  he 
th  it  keepeth  understanding  shall 
find  good. 

Prov.  xxiv,  5.  A  wise  man  is 
strong;  yea,  a  man  of  knowledge 
increaseth  strength. 

Eccles.  i,  16-18.  I  communed 
with  mine  own  heart,  saying,  Lo, 
I  am  come  to  great  estate,  and 
have  gotten  more  wisdom  than 
all  they  that  have  been  before  me 
in  Jerusalem;  yea,  my  heart  had 
great  experience  of  wisdom  and 
knowledge.  And  I  gave  my  heart 
to  know  wisdom,  and  to  know  mad- 
ness and  folly:  I  perceived  that 
this  also  is  vexation  of  spirit.  For 
in  much  wisdom  is  much  grief; 
and  he  that  increaseth  knowledge 
increaseth  sorrow. 

Eccles.  ii,  15.  Then  said  I  in  my 
heart.  As  it  happeneth  to  the  fool, 
so  it  happeneth  even  to  me;  and 
why  was  1  then  more  wise?  Then 
I  said  in  my  heart,  that  this  also 
is  vanity. 

Eccles.  vii,  11, 12, 19.  Wisdom  is 
good  with  an  inheritance;  and  by 
it  there  is  profit  to  tliem  that  see 
the  sun.  For  wisdom  is  a  defence, 
and  money  is  a  defence:  but  the 
excellency  of  knowledge  is,  that 
wisdom  giveth  life  to  them  that 
have  it.  Wisdom  strengthenetb 
ttie  wise  more  than  ten  mighty 
7nen  which  are  in  the  city. 

Hosea  xiv,  9.  Who  is  wise,  and 
he  shall  understand  these  thingsf 
prudent,  and  he  shall  know  them? 
for  the  ways  of  the  Lord  are 
right,  and  the  just  siiall  walk  in 
them:  but  the  transgressors  shall 
fall  therein. 

Luke  xii,  47,  48.  And  that  ser- 
vant, which  knew  his  lord's  will, 
and  prepared  not  himself,  neither 
did  according  to  his  will,  shall  be 
beaten  with  many  stripes.  But  he 
that  knew  not,  and  did  commit 
things  worthy  of  stripes,  shall  be 
beaten  with  few  stripes.  For  unto 
whomsoever  much  is  given,  of 
him  shall  be  much  required;  and 
to  whom  men  have  committed 
much,  of  him  they  will  ask  the 
more. 

John  ix,  41.  Jesus  said  unto 
them,  If  ye  were  blind,  ye  should 
have  no  sin:  but  now  ye  say,  We 
see;  therefore  your  sin  remaineth, 

John  XV,  22.  If  I  had  not  come 
and  si)oken  unto  them,  they  tiad 
not  had  sin:  but  now  they  have  no 
cloak  for  their  sin. 

Acts  viii,  23.  For  I  perceive  that 


thoTi  art  ill  tho  gall  of  bitterness, 
and  in  the  boud  of  iniquity. 

Rom.  ii,  12.  For  as  many  as 
have  sinned  without  law,  shall  also 
perish  without  law:  and  as  many 
as  have  sinned  iu  the  law,  shall  bo 
judged  by  the  law. 

1  Cor.  viii,  1.  Now  as  touching 
things  offered  unto  idols,  we  know 
that  we  all  have  knowledge. 
Knowledge  puffeth  up,  but  charity 
edlfieth.

1  Kings  iv,  30-32,  34.  And  Solo- 
mon's wisdom  excelled  the  wisdom 
of  all  the  children  of  the  east 
country,  and  all  the  wisdom  of 
Egypt.  For  he  was  wiser  than  all 
men;  than  Ethan  the  Ezrahite, 
and  Ileman,  and  Chalcol,  and 
Darda,  the  sons  of  Mahol:  and  his 
fame  was  in  all  nations  round 
about.  And  he  spake  three  thou- 
sand proverbs;  and  his  songs  were 
a  thousand  and  five.  And  tliere 
came  of  all  people  to  hear  the 
wisdom  of  Solomon,  from  all 
kings  of  the  earth,  which  had 
heard  of  his  wisdom. 

2  Ghron.  ix,  1-8,  22.  And  when 
the  queen  of  Sheba  heard  of  the 
fame  of  Solomon,  she  came  to 
prove  Solomon  with  hard  ques- 
tions at  Jerusalem,  with  a  very 
great  company,  and  camels  tiuit 
bare  spices,  and  gold  in  abund- 
ance, and  precious  stones:  and, 
when  she  was  come  to  Solomon, 
'She  communed  with  him  of  all 
that  was  in  her  heart.  And  Solo- 
mon told  her  all  her  qnestions: 
and  there  was  nothing  hid  from 
Solomon  which  he  told  her  not. 
And  when  the  queen  ot  Sheba  had 
Been  the  wisdom  of  Solomon,  and 
the  house  that  he  had  built,  And 
the  meat  of  his  table,  and  the  sit- 
ting of  his  servants,  and  the 
attendance  of  his  ministers,  and 
their  apparel;  his  cup-bearers 
also,  and  their  apparel;  and  his 
ascent  by  which  he  Avent  up  into 
the  house  of  the  Loud;  there  was 
no  more  spirit  in  her.  And  she 
said  to  the  king,  It  was  a  true  re- 
port which  I  heard  in  mine  own 
land  of  thine  acts,  and  of  thy  wis- 
dom: Howbeit  I  believed  not 
their  words,  until  I  came,  and 
mine  eyes  had  seen  it;  and,  behold, 
the  one  half  of  the  greatness  of 
thy  wisdom  was  not  told  me:  for 
thou  exct'udest  the  fame  that  I 
heard.  Huppy  are  thy  men  and 
happy  are  these  thy  servants, 
which  stand  continually  before 
thee,  and  hear  thy  wisdom. 
Blessed  be  the  Loud  thy  God, 
which  delighted  in  thee,  to  set 
thee  on  his  throne,  to  he  king  for 
the  Lord  thy  God:  because  thy 
God  loved  Israel,  to  establish 
them  for  ever,  therefore  made  he 
thee  king  over  them, to  do  judg- 
ment   and    justice.     And    king 


MAN, 

Solomon  passed  all  the  kings  of 
the  earth  iu  riches  and  wisdom. 

Neh.  X,  28.  And  the  rest  of  the 
people,  the  priests,  the  Levites, 
the  porters,  the  singers,  the  Ne- 
thinims,  and  all  they  that  had 
separated  themselves  from  the 
people  of  the  lands  unto  the  law 
of  God,  their  wives,  their  sons, 
and  their  daughters,  every  one 
having  knowledge,  and  having 
understanding. 

Dan.  i,  18,  19.  Now,  at  the  end 
of  the  days  that  the  king  had 
said  he  should  bring  them  in, 
then  the  prince  of  the  eunuclis 
brought  them  in  before  Nebu- 
chadnezzar. And  the  king  com- 
muned with  them ;  and  among 
them  all  was  found  none  like 
Daniel,  Ilauaniah,  Mishael,  ar^d 
Azariah:  therefore  stood  they  be- 
fore the  king. 

Dan.  viii,  23.  And  in  the  latter 
time  of  their  kingdom,  when  the 
transgressors  are  come  to  the  full, 
a  king  of  fierce  countenance,  and 
understanding  dark  sentences, 
shall  stand  up. 

Dan.  X,  1.  In  the  third  year  of 
Cyrus  king  of  Persia  a  thing  was 
revealed  unto  Daniel,  whose 
name  was  called  Belteshazzar ; 
and  the  thing  was  true,  but  the 
time  appointed  was  long:  and  he 
understood  the  thing,  and  had 
understanding  of  the  vision. 

Acts  vii,  22.  And  Moses  was 
learned  in  all  the  wisdom  of  the 
Egyptians,  and  was  mighty  in

1  Thess.  iv,  2.  For  ye  know  what

Wisdom  of  the  World. 

Job  V,  12. 13.  He  disappointeth 
the  devices  of  the  crafty,  so  that 
their  hands  cannot  perform  their 
enterprise.  He  taketh  the  wise 
in  tiieir  own  crattiness ;  and  the 
counsel  of  the  fro  ward  is  cariied 
headlong. 

1  Qor.  i,  19-22.  For  it  is  written, 
I  will  destroy  the  wisdom  of  the 
wise,  and  will  bring  to  nothing 
the  understanding  of  the  prudent. 
Where  is  the  wise?  where  is  the 
scribe?  where  ^■s  the  disputer  of 
this  world?  hath  not  Gud  made 
foolish  the  wisdom  of  this  world? 
For  after  that,  in  the  wisdom  of 
God,  the  world  by  wisdom  knew 
not  God,  it  pleased  God  by  the 
foolishness  of  preaching  to  save 
them  that  believe.  For  the  Jews 
require  a  sign,  and  the  Greeks 
seek  after  wisdom. 

1  Cor.  il,  1,6.  And  I,  brethren, 
when  1  came  to  you,  came  not 


witn  excellpncy  of  speech,  or  of 
wisdom,  declaring  unto  you  the 
testimony  of  God.  Howbeit  we 
speak  wisdom  among  them  that 
are  perfect;  yet  not  the  wisdom  of 
this  world,  nor  of  the  princes 
of  this  world,  that  come  to 
nought. 

1  Cor.  ill,  18-21.  Let  no  man  de- 
ceive himself.  If  any  man  among 
you  seemeth  to  be  wise  in  this 
world,  let  him  become  a  fool,  that 
he  may  be  wise.  For  the  wisdom 
of  this  world  is  foolishness  with 
God :  for  it  is  written,  He  taketh 
the  wise  in  their  own  craftiness. 
And  again.  The  Lord  knoweth 
the  thoughts  of  the  wise,  that  they 
are  vain.  Therefore  let  no  man 
glory  iu  men :  for  all  things  are 
yours. 

Col.  il,  8.  Beware  lest  any  man 
spoil  yon  through  philosophy  and 
vain  deceit,  after  tlie  tradition  ol 
men,  after  the  rudiments  of  the 
world,  and  not  aftfer  Christ. 

WISDOM  THE  GIFT  OP 
GOD. 

1  Kings  iv,  29.  And  God  gave 
Solomon  wisdom  and  understand- 
ing exceeding  much,  and  large- 
ness of  heart,  even  as  the  sand 
that  is  on  the  sea-shore. 

1  Kings  v,  12.  And  the  Lobd 
gave  Solomon  wisdom,  as  he 
promised  him:  and  there  was 
peace  between  Iliram  and  Solo- 
mon; and  they  two  made  a  league 
together. 

1  Kings  x,  24.  And  all  the  earth 
sought  to  Solomon,  to  hear  his 
wisdom,  which  God  had  put  iu 
his  heart. 

2  Chron. i,7-12.  Inthatnightdid 
God  appear  unto  Solo;. ion,  and 
said  unto  him,  Ask  what  I  shall 
give  thee.  And  Solomon  said 
unto  God,  Thou  hast  shewed 
great  mercy  unto  David  my  fa- 
ther, and  hast  made  me  to  reign 
in  his  stead.  Now,  O  Lord  God, 
let  thy  promise  unto  David  my 
father  be  established:  for  thou 
hast  made  me  king  over  a  people 
like  the  dust  of  the  earth  in  mul- 
titude. Give  me  now  wisdom 
and  knowledge,  that  I  may  go 
out  and  come  in  bi,fore  this  peo- 
ple :  for  who  can  judge  this  thy 
people,  </iai  is  so  great?  And  God 
said  to  Solomon,  because  this  was 
in  thine  heart,  and  thou  hast  not 
asked  riches,  wealth,  or  honour, 
nor  the  life  of  thine  enemies,  nei- 
ther yet  hast  asked  long  life;  but 
hast  asked  wisdom  and  know- 
ledge for  thyself,  that  thou  mayest 
judge  my  people,  over  whom  I 
liave  made  tlioe  king;  Wisdom 
and  knowledge  is  grunted  unto 
thee;  and  I  will  give  thee  riclies, 
and  wealth,  and  honour,  sucii  as 
none  of  the  kings  have  hau  that

have  been  before  thee,  neither 
Bliall  there  any  after  thee  have 
the  like. 

Frov.  il,  6,  7.  For  the  Lord 
giveth  wisdom:  out  of  his  mouth 
Cometh  km)wledge  and  under- 
standing. He  layeth  up  sound 
vislora  for  tlie  rigliteous:  he  is 
ai'ucklerto  them  that  walk  up- 
rig:hMy. 

James  I,  5.  If  any  of  you  lack 
wisdom,  let  him  ask  of  God,  that 
giveth  to  all  men  liberally,  and 
uphraifietli  not;  and  it  shall  be 
given  hiui. 

Imperfection-  of  Knowledge. 

Eccles.  iii,  11.  He  hath  made 
every  thing  beautiful  in  liis  time: 
al<o  he  hath  set  the  world  in  their 
heart;  so  tliat  no  man  can  find 
out  the  work  tliat  God  makelli 
from  the  beginning  to  the  end. 

Eccles.  vii,  23-25.  All  this  have 
I  proved  by  wisdom:  I  said,  I  will 
be  wise;  but  it  teas  far  from  me. 
That  which  is  far  vS,  and  exceed- 
ing deep,  who  can  find  it  out?  I 
applied  mine  heart  to  know,  and 
to  search,  and  to  seek  out  wisdom, 
and  the  reason  of  things,  and  to 
know  the  wickedness  of  folly, 
even  of  foolishness  and  maii- 
ness. 

Eccles.  viii,  16,  17.  When  I 
applied  mine  lieart  to  know  wis- 
dom, and  to  see  the  business  tliat 
is  dune  upon  the  earth:  (for  also 
there  is  that  neither  day  nor  night 
Beeth  sleep  with  his  eyes:)  Tlien  I 
beheld  all  the  work  of  God,  that  a 
man  cannot  find  out  the  work 
that  is  done  under  the  sun:  be- 
cause though  a  man  labour  to 
seek  it  out,  yet  he  shall  not  find 
it;  yea,  further,  though  a  wise 
man  tliink  to  know  it,  yet  shall 
he  not  be  able  to  find  it. 

1  Cor.  viii,  2.  And  if  any  man 
think  that  he  knowetli  any  thing, 
he  knoweth  nothing  yet  as  he 
ought  to  know. 

1  (!or.  xiil.  12.  For  now  we  see 
through  a  glass,  darkly;  but  then 
face  to  face:  now  1  know  in  part; 
but  then  shall  1  know  even  as 
also  I  am  known. 

Eaenest   Effobts  to 

Obtain  It. 
Job  V,  27.    Lo   this,   we   have 
Bearclied  it,  so  it  is;  hear  it,  and 
knuw  thou  it  for  thy  good. 

Job  xxxiv,  4.  Let  us  choose  to  us 
judgment;  let  us  know  among 
ourselves  what  is  good. 

Ps.  xciv,  8.  Understand,  ye 
brutish  among  the  peuple:  and 
ye  fools,  when  will  yo  be  wise? 

Frov.  i,  6,  6.  A  wise  man  will 
hear,  and  will  increase  learning; 
and  a  man  of  understanding  shall 
attuiu  unto   wise   counsels:    To 


tmderetand  a  proverb,  and  the  In- 
terpretation; the  W(>r>!s  of  the  wise, 
and  their  dark  sayings. 

Frov.  li,  1-5,  21,  22.  My  son.  If 
thou  wilt  receive  my  words,  and 
hide  my  commandments  with 
thee;  So  that  thou  Incline  thine 
ear  unto  wisdom,  and  apply  thine 
lieart  to  understanding:  Yea,  If 
thou  criest  after  knowledge,  and 
liltest  up  thy  voice  for  under- 
t^tuuding;  If  thou  seekest  her  as 
silver,  and  searcliest  for  her  as 
for  hid  treasures;  Then  shalt  thou 
understand  the  fear  of  the  Lord, 
and  find  the  knowledge  of  God. 
For  the  upright  shall  dwell  in  the 
land,  and  the  perfect  shall  re- 
main In  it.  But  the  wicketl  shall 
be  cut  oflF from  the  earth,  and  the 
transgressors  shall  be  rooted  out 
of  it. 

Frov.  V,  1,  2.  My  son,  aftend  unto 
my  wisdom,  and  bow  thine  ear  to 
my  understanding;  That  thou 
mayest  ;reuard  discretion,  and 
that  thy  lips  may  keep  know- 
ledge. 

Frov.  xviii,  1.  Through  desire  a 
man,  having  separated  himself, 
s(;eketh  and  intermeddleth  with 
all  wisdom. 

Frov.  xlx,  20,  27.  Hear  connsel, 
and  receive  instruction,  that  thou 
mayest  be  wise  in  thy  latter  end. 
Cease,  my  son,  to  hear  the  in- 
struction that  cau^eth  to  err  from 
the  words  of  knowledge. 

Frov.  xxvii,  22.  Though  thou 
shouldest  bray  a  fool  in  a  mortar 
among  wheat  Avith  a  pestle,  yet 
will  not  his  foolishness  depart 
from  him. 

Eccles.  vl,  9,  12.  Better  is  the 
sight  of  the  eyes  than  the  wander- 
ing of  the  desire:  this  ^salso  vanity 
and  vexation  of  spirit.  For  who 
knoweth  what  is  good  for  man  in 
this  life,  all  the  days  of  his  vain 
life  which  he  spendeth  as  a  sha- 
dow? for  who  can  tell  a  man  what 
shall  be  after  him  under  the  sun? 

Jer.  vi,  8.  Be  thou  instructed, 
0  Jerusalem,  lest  my  soul  depart 
from  thee;  lest  1  make  thee  deso- 
late, a  land  not  inhabited. 

Rom.  xvi,  19.  For  your  obedience 
is  come  abroad  unto  all  men.  I 
am  glad  therefore  on  your  belialt: 
but  yet  I  would  have  you  wise 
unto  that  whicli  is  good,  and  sim- 
ple concerning  evil. 

1  Qor.  xii,  1.  New  concerning 
spiritual  gifts,  brethren,  I  would 
not  have  you  ignorant. 

Gal.  ill,  24,  25.  Wherefore  the 
law  was  our  schoolmaster  to  bring 
us  unto  Christ,  that  we  might  be 
justified  by  faith.  But  after  that 
taitli  is  come,  we  are  no  longer 
under  a  schoolmaster. 

£i>A.  V,  17.  Wherefore  be  ye  not 


tmwise,  but  understanding  what 
the  will  of  the  Lord  is. 

James  i,  16.  Do  not  err  my  be- 
loved brethren. 

PERSONIFICATION  OP 
WISDOM    IN    SCRIPTURE 

ITS  VALUE  AND  BLESSING. 

Job  xxvii,  12-28.  But  where  shall 
wisdom  be  found?  and  where  is 
the  place  of  understanding?  Man 
knoweth  not  the  price  thereof; 
neither  is  it  found  in  the  land  of 
the  hving.  The  depth  saith,  It  is 
not  in  me;  and  the  sea  saith,  It  is 
not  with  me.  It  cannot  be  gotten 
for  gold,  neither  shall  silver  be 
weiglied  for  the  price  thereof. 
It  cannot  be  valued  with  the  gold 
of  Ophir,  with  the  precious  onyx, 
or  the  sapphire.  The  gold  and 
the  crystal  cannot  equal  it;  and 
the  exchange  ot  it  shall  not  be  for 
jewels  of  fine  gold.  No  mention 
shall  be  made  of  coral,  or  of 
pearls:  for  the  price  of  wisdom  is 
above  rubies.  The  topaz  of  Ethi- 
opia shall  not  equal  it,  neither 
shall  it  be  valued  with  pure  gold. 
Wlience  then  cometh  wisdom? 
and  where  is  the  place  of  under- 
standing? Seeing  it  is  hid  from 
the  eyes  of  all  living,  and  kept 
close  from  the  fowls  of  the  air. 
Destruction  and  death  say.  We 
have  heard  the  fame  thereof  with 
our  ears.  God  understandeth  the 
way  thereof,  and  he  knoweth  the 
place  thereof  For  he  looketh  to 
the  ends  of  the  earth,  and  seeth 
under  the  whole  heaven:  To  make 
the  weight  for  the  winds;  and  he 
weighetli  the  waters  by  measure: 
When  he  made  a  decree  for  the 
rain,  and  a  way  for  the  lightning 
of  the  thunder:  Then  did  he  see 
it,  and  declare  it;  he  prepared  it, 
yea,  and  searched  it  out.  And 
unto  man  he  said.  Behold,  the  fear 
of  the  Lord,  that  is  wisdom;  and 
to  depart  from  evil  is  understand- 
ing. 

Frov.  1,  20-23,  Wisdom  crieth 
without;  she  uttereth  her  voice  in 
the  streets:  She  crieth  in  the 
chief  place  of  conc(jurse,  in  the 
openings  of  the  gates;  in  the  city 
slie  uttereth  her  words,  saying, 
How  long,  ye  simple  ones,  will  ye 
love  simplicity?  and  the  scoruers 
delight  in  their  scorning,  and 
fools  hate  knowledge?  Turn  you 
at  my  reproof;  behold,  I  will  pour 
out  my  Spirit  unto  you,  I  will 
make  known  my  words  unto  you. 

Frov.  iii,  13-20.  Happy  is  the 
man  that  findeth  wistiom,  and  the 
man  that  getteth  understanding: 
For  the  merchandise  of  It  is  better 
than  the  merchamlise  of  silver, 
and  the  gain  thereof  than  fine 
gold.  She  is  more  precious  than 
rubies:  and  all  the  things  thou 
canst  desire  are  not  to  be  com- 
pared unto  her.   Length  of  days 


UAN, 


is  In  her  rigrht  hand;  and  in  her 
left  hand  riclies  and  honour.  Her 
ways  are  ways  of  pleasantness, 
and  all  her  paths  are  peace.  She 
is  a  tree  of  life  to  them  that  lay 
hold  upon  her;  and  happy  is  every 
one  that  retainetli  her.  The  Lord 
by  wisdom  hath  founded  tlie 
earth;  by  understanding  hath  he 
established  the  lieavens.  By  his 
knowledge  the  deptlis  are  broken 
up,  and  the  clouds  drop  down  the 
•dew. 

Prov.  iv,  5-13.  Get  wisdom,  get 
understanding:  forget  it  not; 
neither  decline  from  tlie  words  of 
my  month.  Forsake  her  not,  and 
she  shall  preserve  thee:  love  her, 
and  she  shall  keep  thee.  Wisdom 
is  the  principal  thing;  therefore 
get  wisdom:  and  with  all  thy  get- 
ting get  understanding.  Exalt 
her,  and  she  shall  promote  thee; 
she  shall  bring  thee  to  honour 
when  thou  dost  embrace  her. 
She  shall  give  to  thine  head  an 
ornament  of  grace:  a  crown  of 
glory  shall  slie  deliver  to  thee. 
Hear,  O  my  son,  and  receive  my 
sayings;  and  the  years  of  thy  life 
sliall  be  many.  1  have  taugiit 
tliee  in  the  way  of  wisdom;  I  have 
Ipd  thee  in  riglit  paths.  When 
thou  goest,  tliy  steps  shall  not  be 
straitened;  anil  when  thou  run- 
nest,  thou  Shalt  not  stumble.  Take 
fust  hold  of  instruction;  let  her  not 
go:  Iceep  her;  for  she  is  thy  lite. 

Frov.  viii,  1-5,  8-14, 17-36.  Doth 
not  wisdom crypand  imderstandlng 
put  forth  her  voice?  She  standeth 
in  the  top  of  high  places,  by  the 
way  in  the  places  of  the  paths: 
She  crieth  at  the  gates,  at  the 
entry  of  the  city,  at  the  coming  in 
at  the  doors:  Unto  you,  O  men, 
I  call;  and  my  voice  is  to  the  sons 
of  man.  O  ye  simple,  understand 
wisdom;  ani],  ye  fools,  be  ye  of  an 
understanding  heart.  All  the 
words  of  my  mouth  are  in  right- 
eousness; there  is  nothing  froward 
or  perverse  in  tiiem.  Tliey  are 
all  plain  to  him  that  understand- 
eth,  and  riglit  to  them  that  find 
knowledge.  Kecoive  my  instruc- 
tion, and  not  silver;  and  know- 
ledge rather  tiian  choice  gold- 
For  wisdom  is  better  than  rubies; 
and  all  tlie  things  that  may  be 
desired  are  not  to  be  compared  to 
it.  I  wisdom  dwell  with  pruilence, 
aiKl  find  out  knowledge  of  witty 
inventions.  The  tear  of  the  Loed 
is  to  hate  evil,  pride,  and  arro- 
gancy,  and  tlie  evil  way,  and  tlie 
froward  mouth,  do  I  hate.  Coun- 
sel is  mine,  and  sound  wisdom: 
I  am  under  stan'hng ;  I  have 
strength.  I  love  them  that  love 
me;  and  those  that  seek  me  early 
Bliall  find  me.  Riches  and  honour 
are  with  me;  yea,  durable  riches 
and  righteousness.  My  fruit  is 
better  than  gold,  yea,  than  fine 
jfold;  and  my  revenue  than  choice 


silver.  I  lead  in  the  way  of  right- 
eousness, in  the  midst  of  the  paths 
of  judgment;  That  I  may  cause 
those  tliat  love  me  to  inherit  sub- 
stance; and  I  will  All  their  trea- 
sures. The  Lord  possessed  me  in 
the  beginning  of  his  way,  before 
his  works  of  old.  I  was  set  up 
from  everlasting,  from  the  begin- 
ning, or  ever  the  earth  was.  When 
there  were  no  depths,  I  was 
broiiglit  forth;  when  thereicere  no 
fountains  abounding  with  water. 
Before  the  mountainswere  settled; 
before  the  hills  was  I  brought  forth: 
While  as  yet  he  had  not  made 
the  earth,  nor  the  fields,  nor  the 
highest  part  of  the  dust  of  the 
world.  When  he  prepared  the 
heavens,  I  teas  there:  when  he  set 
a  compass  upon  the  face  of  the 
depth :  When  he  established  the 
clouds  above:  when  lie  strength- 
ened the  fountains  of  the  deep: 
When  he  gave  to  the  sea  his  de- 
cree, that  the  waters  should  not 
pass  his  commandment:  when  he 
appointed  the  foundations  of  the 
earth:  Then  I  was  by  him,  as  one 
brought  up  loith  him;  and  I  was 
daily  his  delight,  rejoicing  always 
before  him;  Rejoicing  in  the 
habitable  part  of  his  earth;  and 
my  deUghts  were  with  the  sons 
of  men.  Now  therefore  hearken 
unto  me,  O  ye  children:  for  blessed 
are  they  that  keep  my  ways. 
Hear  instruction,  and  be  wise, 
and  refuse  it  not.  Blessed  is  the 
man  that  heareth  me,  watching 
daily  at  my  gates,  waiting  at  the 
posts  of  my  doors.  For  whoso 
findeth  me  findeth  life,  and  shall 
obtain  favour  of  the  Lord.  But 
he  that  sinneth  against  me  wrong- 
eth  his  own  suul:  all  they  that 
hate  me  love  death. 

Prov.  ix,  1-6.  Wisdom  hath 
bullded  her  house,  she  iiath  hewn 
out  her  seven  pillars;  She  hath 
killed  her  beasts ;  she  hath  min- 
gled her  wine ;  she  hath  also  fur- 
nished her  table :  She  hath  sent 
forth  her  maidens;  she  crieth 
upon  the  highest  plac  s  of  the 
city,  Whoso  is  simple,  let  him 
turn  in  hitlier:  as  for  him  that 
wanteth  understanding,  she  saith 
to  him,  Come,  eat  of  my  bread, 
and  drink  of  the  wine  which  1 
have  mingled.  Forsake  tlie  tool- 
ish,  and  live;  and  go  iu  the  way  of 
uuderstauding. 

FOLLY. 

Prov.  X,  23.  It  is  as  sport  to  a 
fool  to  do  mischief:  but  a  man  of 
understanding  hath  wisdom. 

Prov.  xiii,  19  The  desire  accom- 
plished is  sweet  to  the  soul:  but 
it  is  abomination  to  fools  to  de- 
part from  evil. 

Prov.  xvii,  16.  Wherefore  is 
there  a  price  in  the  hand  of  a  fool 
to  get  wisdom,  seeing  he  hath  no 
heart  to  itS 

SSI 


Prov.  xxiv,  7.  Wisdom  is  too 
higli  for  a  fool;  he  openeth  not  his 
mouth  in  the  gate. 

Prov.  xxvi,  1,  4-6.  As  snow  In 
summer,  and  as  rain  in  harvest; 
so  lionour  is  not  seemly  for  a  fool. 
Answer  not  a  fool  according  to  his 
folly,  lest  thou  also  be  like  unto 
him.  Answer  a  fool  according  to 
his  folly,  lest  he  be  wise  in  his  own 
conceit.  lie  that  sendeth  a  mes- 
sage by  the  hand  of  a  fool  cntteth 
off  the  feet,  and  drinketh  damage. 

Prov.  xxix,  9.  If  a  wise  man 
contendeth  with  a  foolish  man, 
whether  he  rage  or  laugh,  there  is 
no  rest. 

WISDOM  IN  CONTRAST 
WITH  FOLLY. 

Prov.  xii,  8.  A  man  shall  be 
commended  according  to  his  wis- 
dom: but  he  that  is  of  a  perverse 
heart  shall  be  despised, 

Prov.  xiv,  8, 15,  18,  33.  The  wis- 
dom of  the  prudent  is  to  under- 
stand his  way:  but  the  folly  of  fools 
is  deceit.  The  simple  believeth 
every  word:  but  the  prudent  man 
looketh  well  to  his  going.  The 
simple  inherit  folly:  but  the  pru- 
dent are  crowned  with  knowledge. 
Wisdom  resteth  in  the  lieart  of 
him  that  hath  understanding:  but 
that  which  is  in  the  midst  of  fools 
is  made  known. 

Prov.  XV,  21.  Folly  is  joy  to  Mm 
that  is  destitute  of  wisdom :  but  a 
man  of  understanding  walketh 
uprightly. 

Prov.  xvi,  22.  Understanding  is 
a  well-spring  of  lile  unto  him  that 
hath  it:  but  the  instruction  of  fools 
is  folly. 

Prov.  xvii,  24.  Wisdom  is  before 
him  that  hath  understanding:  but 
the  eyes  of  a  fool  are  in  the  ends 
of  the  earth. 

Prov.  xxii,  3.  A  prudent  man 
foreseeth  the  evil,  and  hideth 
himself;  but  the  simple  pass  on, 
and  are  punished. 

Prov.  xxvii,  12.  A  prudent  man 
foreseeth  the  evil,  and  hideth 
liimself;  but  the  simple  pass  on, 
and  are  punished. 

Prov.  xxviii,  5.  Evil  men  under- 
stand not  judgment:  but  they 
that  seek  the  Lord  understand  all 
things. 

Eccles.  11, 12, 13.  And  I  turned 
myself  to  behold  wisdom,  and 
madness,  and  folly:  for  what  can 
the  man  do  that  cometh  alter  the 
king?  even  that  whicli  liath  been 
already  done.  Then  I  saw  that 
wisdom  excelleth  folly,  as  far  as 
light  excelleth  darkness. 

Dan.  xii,  10.  Many  shall  be 
purified,  and  made  white,  and 
tried;  but  the  wicked  shall  do 
wickedly:  and  none  of  the  wici.ed 
ehall  understand:  but  the  wise 
sluU  understand.

MEANS  OF  OBTAINING 
WISDOM. 

COUNSEL. 

Judges  xx,  7.  Behold,  ye  are  all 
children  of  Israel;  give  here  your 
advice  and  counsel. 

2  Sam.  XV,  31.  And  one  fold 
David,  saying,  Aliithophel  is 
among  the  conspirators  witli 
Absalom.  And  David  said,  O 
LoK»,  1  pray  thee,  turn  the  coun- 
Bcl  of  Ahithophel  into  foolisliness. 

2  Sam.  XX,  18.  Then  she  spake, 
saying,  They  were  wont  to  speak 
In  old  time,  saying,  They  shall 
sui-ely  ask  counsel  at  Abel :  and 
BO  they  ended  the  viatter. 

1  Kings  xii,  8,  9.  But  he  forsook 
the  counsel  of  the  old  men,  which 
they  had  given  him,  and  con- 
sulted with  the  young  men  tliat 
were  grown  up  with  him,  and 
wliich  stood  before  him:  And  he 
said  unto  them.  What  counsel 
give  ye  that  we  may  answer  tliis 
I)eople,  who  have  spoken  to  me, 
saying.  Make  the  yoke  which 
thy  father  did  put  upon  us 
lighter? 

Frov.  xl,  14.  Where  no  counsel 
is,  the  people  full:  but  in  the

see.  But  the  ,Jewa  did  not  believe 
concerning  him,  that  he  had  bet  n

that  had  received  his  sight.  And

son,  and  that  he  was  born  blind:

we  know  not;  or  wliohath  opened

age,  ask  him;  he  shall  speak  for 
himself.

IV. 
MAN'S  MOEAL  NATUEE. 

PURSUIT   OF   HAPPINESS. 

Eccles.  i,  2,  3,  12,  13.  Vanity  of 
vanities,  saith  the  Preacher, 
vanity  of  vanities;  all  is  vanity. 
What  profit  hath  a  man  of  all  his 
labour  which  he  taketh  under  the 
sun?  I  the  Preacher  was  king 
over  Israel  in  Jerusalem;  And  I 
gave  my  heart  to  seek  and 
search  out  by  wisdom  concerning 
all  things  tJiat  are  done  under 
heaven:  this  sore  travail  hath 
God  given  to  the  sons  of  man,  to 
be  exercised  therewith. 

Eccles.  ii,  20-26.  Therefore  I 
went  about  to  cause  my  heart  to 
despair  of  rU  the  labour  which  I 
took  under  the  sun.  For  there  is 
a  man  whose  labour  is  in  wisdom, 
and  in  knowledge,  and  in  equity; 
yet  to  a  man  that  hath  not 
laboured  therein  shall  he  leave 
it  for  his  portion.  This  also  is 
vaniiy,  and  a  great  evil.  For 
what  hath  man  of  all  his  labour, 
and  of  the  vexation  of  his  heart, 
wherein  he  hath  laboured  under 
the  sun?  For  all  his  days  are 
sorrows,  and  his  travail  grief;  yea, 
his  heart  taketh  not  rest  in  the 
night.  This  is  also  vanity.  There 
is  nothing  better  for  a  man,  than 
that  he  should  eat  and  drink,  and 
that  he  should  make  his  soul 
enjoy  good  in  his  labour.  This 
also  I  saw,  that  it  toas  from  the 
hand  of  God.  For  who  cnn  eat,  or 
who  else  can  hasten  hereunto, 
more  than  I?  For  God  giveth  to 
a  mnn  that  is  good  in  ids  sight 
wisdom,  and  knowledge,  and  joy: 
but  to  the  sinner  he  giveth  travail, 
to  gather,  and  f o  he.-ip  up,  that  he 
may  give  to  him  that  is  good  be- 
fore God.  This  also  is  vanity  and 
vexation  of  spirit. 

Eccles.  iii,  10-13.  I  have  seen 
the  travail  which  God  hath  given 
to  the  sons  of  men  to  be  exercised 
in  it.  He  hath  made  eyery  thing 
beautiful  in  his  time:  also  he  hath 
set  the  world  in  their  heart;  so  that 
no  man  can  find  out  the  work 
that  God  maketh  from  the  be- 
ginning to  the  end.  I  know  that 
there  is  no  good  in  them,  but  for 
a  man  to  rejoice,  and  to  do  good  in 
his  life.  And  also  that  every 
man  should  eat  and  drink,  and 
enjoy  the  good  of  all  his  labour,it  is 
the  gilt  ot  God. 


Eccles.  Till,  5,  G.  7, 15.  Whoso 
keepeth  the  cominandmeut  shall 
feel  no  evil  thing;  and  a  wise 
man's  heart  discerneth  both  time 
and  judgment.  Because  to  every 
purpose  there  is  time  and  judg- 
ment, therefore  the  misery  of 
man  is  great  upon  him.  For  he 
knoweth  not  that  which  shall  be: 
for  who  can  tell  him  when  it  shall 
be?  Then  I  commended  mirth, 
because  a  man  hath  no  better 
thing  under  the  sun,  than  to  eat, 
and  to  drink,  and  to  be  merry;  for 
that  shall  abide  with  him  of  his 
labour  the  days  of  his  life,  which 
God  giveth  him  under  the  sun. 

Eccles.  xii,  8,  13.  Vanity  of 
vanities,  saith  the  Preacher;  all  is 
vanity.  Let  us  hear  the  con- 
clusion of  the  whole  matter;  Fear 
God,  and  keep  his  commanii- 
ments:  for  this  is  the  whole  duty 
of  man. 


Esther  v,  9-13.  Then  went 
Haman  forth  that  day  joyful  and 
with  a  glad  heart:  but  when 
Haman  saw  Mordecai  in  the  king's 
gate,  that  he  stood  not  up,  nor 
moved  for  him,  he  Avas  full  of 
indignation  against  Mordecai. 
Nevertheless  Haman  refrained 
himself:  and  when  he  came  home, 
he  sent  and  called  for  his  friends, 
and  Zeresh  his  wite.  And  Haman 
told  them  of  the  glory  of  his 
riches,  and  the  multitude  of  his 
children,  and  all  the  things  where- 
in the  king  had  promoted  him, 
and  how  he  had  advanced  him 
above  the  princes  and  servants  of 
the  king.  Haman  said  moreover. 
Yea,  P:sther  the  queen  did  let  no 
man  come  in  Avith  the  king  unto 
the  banquet  that  she  had  prepar- 
ed but  myself;  and  to-moirow  am 
I  invited  unto  her  also  with  the 
king.  Yet  all  this  availeth  me 
nothing,  so  long  as  I  see  Mordecai 
tlie  Jew  sitting  at  the  king's  gate. 

1.— SECULAR  DUTIES. 

INDUSTRY. 

1  Kings  xi,  28.  And  the  man 
Jeroboam  u-as  a  mighty  man  of 
valour:  and  Solomon  seeing  the 
young  man  that  he  Avas  indus- 
trious, he  made  him  ruler  over 
all  the  charge  of  the  house  of 
Joseph. 

Prov.xxi,  5, 17, 20.  The  thoughts 
of  the  diligent  tend  only  to  plen- 
teousness;  but  of  every  one  that  is 
hasty,  only  to  Avant.  Ho  that 
loveth  pleasure  shall  be  a  poor 
man;  he  that  loveth  wine  and  oil 
shall  not  be  rich.  There  is  treas- 
ure to  be  desired,  and  oil  in  the 
dwelling  of  the  Avis;e;  but  a  fool- 
ish man  spendeth  it  up. 

iVow.  xxil,  29.  Seest  thou  a  man 
diligent  in  his  business?  lie  shall 
stand  before  kingis;  he  shall  not 
stand  before  mean  men. 


MAN. 


Frov.  xxvil  23,  24.  Be  thon  diH- 
gent  to  know  ihe  state  of  thy 
flocks,  and  look  well  to  thy  herds: 
For  riches  are  not  for  ever;  and 
doth  the  crown  endure  to  every 
generation? 

John  vi,  12, 13.  When  they  were 
filled,  he  said  unto  his  disciples, 
Gather  up  the  fragments  that  re- 
main, that  nothing  be  lost.  There- 
fore they  gathered  them  together, 
and  filled  twelve  baskets  with  the 
fragments  of  the  five  barley- 
loaves,  which  remained  over  and 
above  unto  them  that  had  eaten. 


Exod,  V,  17, 18.  But  he  said,  Ye 
are  idle,  ye  are  idle;  therefore  ye 
say.  Let  us  go  and  do  sacrifice  to 
the  Lord.  Go  therefore  now  and 
work:  for  there  shall  no  straw  be 
given  you,  yet  shall  ye  deliver  the 
tale  of  bricks, 

Matth.  xxvi,  8,  9.  But  when  his 
disciples  saw  it,  they  had  indigna- 
tion, saying,  To  what  purpose  i$ 
this  waste?  For  this  ointment 
might  have  been  sold  for  much, 
and  given  to  the  poor. 

Mark  xiv,  4.  And  there  were 
some  that  had  indignation  within 
themselves,  and  said.  Why  was 
this  waste  of  the  ointment  made? 

In  Contrast  with  Idleness. 

Gen.  xliii,  10.  For  except  we 
had  lingered,  surely  now  we  had 
returned  this  second  time. 

Frov.x,  4.  He  becometh  poor 
that  dealeth  loith  a  slack  hand: 
but  the  hand  of  the  diligent  mak- 
eth  rich. 

Prov.  xii,  24, 27.  The  hand  of  the 
diligent  shall  bear  rule:  but  the 
slothful  shall  be  under  tribute. 
The  slothful  man  roasteth  not  that 
which  he  took  in  hunting:  but  the 
substance  of  a  diligent  man  is 
precious. 

Frov.  xlii,  4,  23.  The  soul  of  the 
sluggard  desireth,  and  hath  noth- 
ing: but  the  soul  of  the  diligent 
shall  be  made  fat.  Much  food  is 
in  the  tillage  ot  the  poor:  but 
there  is  that  is  destroyed  for  want 
of  judgment. 

Prov.  XV,  19.  The  way  of  the 
slothful  man  is  as  an  hedge  of 
thorns:  but  the  way  of  the  right- 
eous is  made  plain. 

Prov.  xxviii,  19.  He  that  tilleth 
his  land  shall  have  plenty  of 
bread:  but  he  that  followeth  after 
vain  persons  shall  have  poverty 
enough. 

Idleness. 
Prov.  VI,  6-11.  Go  to  the  ant  thou 
Sluggard,  consider  her  ways  and 
be  wise.  Which  havieg  no  guide, 
overseer,  or  ruler,  Providetli  her 
meat  In  the  summer,  and  gather- 
eth  hbv  food  in  the  harvest.    How 


long  wilt  thou  sleep,  O  sluggard? 
when  wilt  tliou  arise  out  of  thy 
sleep?  Yet  a  little  sleep,  a  little 
slumber,  a  little  folding  of  the 
hands  to  sleep:  So  shall  thy 
poverty  come  as  one  that  travel- 
leth,  and  thy  want  as  an  armed 
man. 

Prov.  X,  26.  As  vinegar  to  the 
teeth,  and  as  smoke  to  the  eyes, 
so  is  the  sluggard  to  them  that 
send  him. 

Prov.  xviii,  9.  He  also  that  is 
slothful  in  his  work  is  brother  to 
him  that  is  a  great  waster. 

Prov.  xix,  15;  24.  Slothfulness 
casteth  into  a  deep  sleep;  and  an 
idle  soul  shall  suffer  hunger.  A 
slothful  man  hideth  his  hand  in 
his  bosom,  and  will  not  so  much 
as  bring  it  to  his  mouth  again. 

Prov.  XX,  4.  The  sluggard  will 
not  plow  by  reason  of  the  cold; 
therefore  shall  he  beg  in  harvest, 
and  have  nothing. 

Prov.  xxi,  25.  26.  The  desire  of 
the  slothful  killeth  him;  for  his 
hands  refuse  to  labour.  He  covet- 
eth  greedily  all  the  day  long:  but 
the  righteous  giveth,  and  spareth 
not. 

Prov.  xxii,  13.  The  slothful  man 
saith,  There  is  a  lion  without,  I 
shall  be  slain  in  the  streets. 

iVou.  xxiii,  21.  For  the  drunkard 
and  tlie  glutton  shall  come  to 
poverty;  and  drowsiness  shall 
clothe  a  man  with  rags. 

Prov.  xxiv,  30-34.  I  went  by  the 
field  of  the  slothful,  and  by  the 
vineyard  of  the  man  void  of  un- 
derstanding; And,  lo,  it  was  all 
grown  over  with  thorns,  and 
nettles  had  covered  the  face  there- 
of, and  the  stone  wall  thereof  was 
broken  down.  Then  I  saw,  ajid 
considered  it  well;  I  looked  upon 
it,  and  received  instruction.  Tet 
a  little  sleep,  a  little  slumber,  a 
little  folding  of  the  hands  to  sleep: 
So  shall  thy  poverty  come  as  one 
that  travelleth,  and  thy  want  as 
an  armed  man. 

Prov.  xxvi,  13-16.  The  slothful 
mnn  saith.  There  is  a  lion  in  the 
way;  a  lion  is  in  the  streets.  As 
t!  e  door  turneth  upon  his  hinges, 
so  doth  the  slothful  upon  his  bed. 
The  slothful  hiueth  his  hand  in 
his  bosom;  it  srieveth  him  to  bring 
it  again  to  his  mouth.  The  slug- 
gard is  wiser  in  bis  own  conceit 
than  seven  men  that  can  render  a 
reason. 

Eccles.  X,  18.  By  much  slothful- 
ness the  building  decayeth;  and 
through  idleness  of  the  hands  the 
house  droppeth  through. 

WEALTH  THE  GIFT  OF  GOD.

2  ghron.  XXV,  9.  And  Amaziah 
said  to  the  man  of  Go(J,  But  what 
shall  we  do  for  the  hundred 
talents  which  I  have  given  to  the 
army  of  Israel?  And  the  man  of 
God  answered.  The  Lord  is  able 
to  give  thee  much  more  than 
this 

Job  xxil,  8,  23-25.  But  as  for  thQ 
migiity  man,  he  liad  the  earth; 
and  the  honourable  man  dwelt  in 
it.  If  tliou  return  to  the  Almighty, 
thou  Shalt  be  built  up,  thou  shalt 
put  away  iniquity  far  from  thy 
tabernacles.  Then  shalt  thou  lay 
up  gold  as  dust,  and  the  gold  of 
Ophir  as  the  stones  of  the  brooks. 
Yea,  the  Almighty  shall  be  thy 
defence,  and  thou  shalt  have 
plenty  of  silver. 

Job  xlii,  12.  So  the  Lord  blessed 
the  latter  end  of  Job  more  than 
his  beginning;  for  he  had  fourteen 
thousand  sheep,  and  six  thousand 
camels,  and  a  thousand  yoke  of 
oxen,  and  a  thousand  she-asses. 

Ps.  cxliv,  13, 15.  That  our  garners 
marj  be  full,  alTording  all  manner

people  that  is  in  such  a  case;  pea, 
happy  is  that  people  whose  God 
is  the  Lord. 

Prov.  X,  22.  The  blessing  of  the 
Lord,  it  maketh  rich,  ana  he  add- 
eth  no  sorrow  with  it. 

Prov.  xiv,  24.  The  crown  of  the 
wise  is  their  riches:  but  the  fool- 
ishness of  fools  is  folly 

Isa.  xlviii,  17.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  thy  Redeemer,  the  Holy 
One  of  Israel;  I  am  the  Lord  thy 
God  which  teacheth  thee  to  pro- 
fit, which  leadeth  thee  by  the  way 
that  thou  shouldest  go. 

Dan.  xi,  43.  But  he  shall  have 
power  over  the  treasures  of  gold 
and  of  silver,  and  over  all  the 
precious  things  of  Egypt:  and  the 
Libyans  and  the  Ethiopians  S/iall 
be  at  his  steps. 

Gen.  xiii,  2.  And  Abram  was 
very  rich  in  cattle,  in  silver,  and 
in  gold. 

Gun.  xxiv,  1,  35.  And  Abraham 
Was  old,  and  well  stricken  in  age: 
and  the  Lord  had  blessed  Abra-

Job  i,  3.  His  substance  also  was 
seven  thousand  siieep,  and  three 
thousand  camels,  and  five  hun- 
dred yoke  of  oxen,  and  Ave  hun- 
dred she-asses,  and  a  very  {>:reat

the  greatest  of  all  the  mea  of  the 
east. 

Riches    kot  to  be 
Coveted. 

Prov.  XV,  6.  In  the  house  of  the 
righteous  is  much  treasure:  but 
In  tlie  revenues  of  the  wicked  is 
trouble. 

Prov.  xxiii,  4.  Labour  not  to 
be  rich;  cease  from  thine  own 
wisdom. 

Eccles.  iv,  7, 8.  Then  I  returned, 
and  I  saw  vanity  under  the  sun. 
There  is  one  alone,  and  there  is 
not  a  second;  yea,  he  hath  neither 
child  nor  brother:  yet  is  there  no 
end  of  all  his  labour;  neither  is  his 
eyesiitislied  witli  riches;  neither 
salth  he,  For  whom  do  I  labour, 
and  bereave  my  soul  of  good? 
Tlds  is  also  vanity,  yea,  it  is  a 
Bore  travail. 

Ikicles.  v,  10, 11.  He  that  loveth 
silver  shall  not  be  satisfied  with 
silver;  nor  he  that  loveth  abund- 
ance with  increase.  This  is  also 
vanity.  When  goods  increase, 
they  are  increased  that  eat  them: 
and  what  good  is  there  to  tlie 
owu'^rs  thereof,  saving  the  be- 
holding of  them  with  their  eyes? 

Eccles.  vi,  1,  2.  There  is  an  evil 
wbicli  I  have  seen  under  the  sun, 
and  it  is  common  among  men:  A 
man  to  whom  God  hath  given 
riches,  wealth,  and  honour,  so 
that  he  wanteth  nothing  for  his 
Boul  of  all  that  he  desireth,  yet 
God  giveth  him  not  power  to  eat 
thereof,  but  a  stranger  eateth  it: 
this  is  vanity,  and  it  is  an  evil 
disease. 

Matth.  vl,  19-21.  Lay  not  up  for 
yourselves  treasures  upon  earth, 
where  moth  and  rust  dotli  cor- 
rupt, and  where  thieves  break 
througli  and  steal:  But  lay  up  for 
yourselves  treasures  in  heaven, 
where  neither  moth  nor  rust  doth 
corrupt,  and  where  thieves  do  not 
break  through  nor  steal:  For 
where  your  treasure  is,  there  will 
your  heart  be  also.

Josh,  vii,  21-23.  Wlien  I  saw 
among  the  spoils  a  goodly  Bnby- 
lonlsh  garment,  and  two  liunired 
shekels  of  silver,  and  a  wedge  of 
g-old  of  fifty  sliekels  welglit,  then 
1  coveted  them,  and  took  tliem; 
and,  behold,  they  are  hid  In  the 
earth  in  the  midst  of  my  tent,  nnd 
the  silver  under  it.  So  Joshua 
Mcnt  messengers,   and   they  ran 


unto  the  tent;  and,  behold,  it  was  | 
hid  in  his  tent,  and  the  silver 
under  it.  And  they  took  them 
out  of  the  midst  of  the  tent,  and 
brought  them  unto  Joshua,  and 
unto  all  the  children  of  Israel,  and 
laid  them  out  before  the  Lord. 

Prov.  X,  2,  3.  Treasures  of  wick- 
edness profit  nothing:  but  riglit- 
eousness  delivereth  from  death. 
The  Loud  will  not  suffer  the  soul 
of  the  righteous  to  famish:  but  lie 
casteth  away  the  substance  of  the 
wicked. 

Prov.  XX,  21,  22.  An  Inheritance 
map  be  gotten  hastily  at  the  be- 
ginning; but,  the  end  thereof  shall 
not  be  blessed.  Say  not  thou,  I 
will  recompense  evil;  but  wait  on 
the  Lord,  and  he  shall  save  thee. 

Prov.  xxi,  6.  The  getting  of 
treasures  by  a  lying  tongue  is  a. 
vanity  tossed  to  and  fro  of  them 
that  seek  death. 

Prov.  xxviii,  20.  A  faithful  man 
shall  abound  with  blessings:  but 
he  that  maketh  haste  to  be  rich 
shall  not  be  innocent. 

Jer.  xvii,  11.  As  the  partridge 
sitteth  on  eggs,  and  hatcheth  them 
not;  so  he  that  getteth  riches,  and 
not  by  right,  shall  leave  them  in 
the  midst  of  his  days,  and  at  his 
end  shall  be  a  fool. 

Hob.  ii,  6.  Shall  not  all  these 
take  up  a  parable  against  him.  and 
a  taunting  proverb  against  him, 
and  say,  Woe  to  him  that  increas- 
eth  that  lohich  is  not  his!  how  long? 
and  to  him  that  ladeth  himself 
with  thick  clayl 

Luke  xvi,  11.  If  therefore  ye 
have  not  been  faithful  in  the  un- 
righteous mammon,  who  will  com- 
mit to  your  trust  the  true  richer 

Of  Small  Value. 

Judges  v,  19.  The  kings  came 
and  fought;  then  fought  the  kings 
of  Canaan  in  Taanach  by  the 
waters  of  Megiddo;  they  took  no 
gain  of  money. 

Job  xxxvi,  18, 19.  Because  there 
is  wrath,  beioare  lest  he  take  thee 
away  Avith  his  stroke:  then  a  great 
ransom  cannot  deliver  thee.  Will 
he  esteem  thy  riches?  no,  not 
gold,  nor  all  the  forces  of  strength. 

Prov.  xl,  4.  Riches  profit  not  in 
the  day  of  wrath:  but  righteous- 
ness delivereth  from  death. 

Isa.  xiil,  17.  Behold,  I  will  stir 
up  the  Medes  against  them,  which 
shall  not  regard  silver;  and  as  for 
gold,  they  shall  not  delight  in  it. 

Ezek.  vll,  19.  They  shall  cast 
their  silver  in  the  streets,  and 
their  gold  shall  be  removed;  their 
silver  and  tlieir  gold  shall  not  be 
able  to  deliver  them  in  the  day  of 
the  wrath  of  tlie  Lord;  they  shall 
not  satisfy  their  souls,  neither  fill 
their  bowels,  because  IL  is  the 
Btumblingblock  of  their  iniquity. 


Zeph.  1, 18.  Neither  their  sllTer 
nor  tlieir  gold  shall  be  able  to  de- 
liver them  in  the  day  ot  tlie  Lord's 
wratli;  but  the  whole  land  shall 
be  devoured  by  the  fire  of  his 
jealousy:  for  he  shall  make  even  a 
speedy  riddance  of  all  them  that 
dwell  la  the  land. 


And  Very  Precabiotts. 

Job  XX,  15,  28,  29.  He  hath 
swallowed  down  riches,  and  he 
shall  vomit  them  up  again:  God 
shall  cast  them  out  of  his  belly. 
Tlie  increase  of  his  house  shdl  de- 
part:|a«cZ  his  goods  shall  flow  away 
in  the  day  of  his  wrath.  This  is 
the  portion  of  a  wicked  man  from 
God,  and  the  heritage  appointed 
unto  him  by  God. 

Job  xxvii.  16, 17, 19-21.  Though 
he  heap  up  silver  as  tlie  dust,  and 
prepare  raiment  as  the  cUiy:  He 
may  prepare  it,  but  the  just  shall 
put  it  on,  and  tlie  innocent  shall 
divide  the  silver.  The  rich  man 
shall  lie  down,  but  he  shall  not  bo 
gathered:  he  openeth  his  eyes, 
and  he  is  not.  Terrors  take  hold 
on  him  as  waters,  a  tempest  steal- 
eth  him  away  in  the  night.  The 
east  wind  carrietli  him  away,  and 
he  departeth;  and  as  a  storm 
hurleth  him  out  of  his  place. 

Ps.  xvii,  14.  From  men  which 
are  thy  hand,  0  Lord,  from  men 
of  the  world,  lohlch  have  their 
portion  in  this  lite,  and  whose 
belly  thou  fidest  with  thy  hid 
treasure:  they  are  full  of  children, 
and  leave  the  rest  of  their  sub- 
stance to  their  babes. 

Ps.  xxxix,  6.  Surely  every  man 
walkelh  in  a  vain  shew;  sitrely 
they  are  disquieted  in  vain:  he 
heapeth  up  riches,  and  kuoweth 
not  who  shall  gather  them. 

Prov.  xxiii,  5.  Wilt  thon  set 
thine  eyes  upon  that  which  is  not? 
for  riches  certainly  make  them- 
selves wings;  they  fly  away,  as  an 
eagle  toward  heaven 

Prov.  xxviii,  22.  He  that  hasteth 
to  be  rich  hath  an  evil  eye,  and 
considereth  not  that  poverty  shall 
come  upon  him. 

Eccles.  ii,  17-19.  Therefore  I 
hated  life;  because  the  work  that 
is  wrought  under  the  sun  is 
grievous  unto  me:  for  all  is  vanity 
and  vexation  of  spirit.  Yea,  I 
hated  all  my  labour  which  I  had 
taken  under  the  sun;  because  I 
should  leave  it  unto  the  man  that 
shall  be  after  me.  And  who 
knoweth  whether  he  shall  be  a 
wise  man  or  a  fool?  yet  shall  he 
have  rule  over  all  my  labour 
wherein  I  have  laboured,  and 
wherein  I  have  shewed  myself 
wise  under  the  sun.  This  is  also 
vanity. 

Ecclea.  V,  18, 14.  There  Is  a  sore

evn  wMch  I  have  seen  under  the 
8UI1,  namely,  riches  kept  for  the

DANGERS  OF  WEALTH. 

1st.  TEMPORAL. — OSTENTATION  AND 
QUARREL. 

Gen.  xili,  5-9.  And  Lot  also 
which  went  witli  Abram  had 
flocks  and  herds  and  tents.  Ami 
the  land  was  not  able  to  bear 
them,  that  they  mig-ht  dwell  to- 
getlier:  for  their  substance  was 
great,  so  that  they  could  not 
dwell  together.  And  there  was 
a  strife  between  the  herdmen  of 
Abram's  cattle,  and  the  herdmen 
of  Lot's  cattle.  And  the  Canaan- 
Ite  and  the  Perizzite  dwelt  tlieii 
In  the  land.  And  Abram  said 
nnto  Lot,  Let  there  be  no  strife,  1 
pray  thee,  between  me  and  thee, 
and  between  my  herlmen  and 
thy  herdmen;  for  we  he  brethren. 
7s  not  tlio  wliole  land  before 
thee?  Separate  thyself,  I  pray 
tliee,  fr(jm  me:  if  thou  icilt  take 
the  left  hand,  then  I  will  goto  the 
right;  or  if  thou  depart  to  the 
right  hand,  then  I  will  go  to  the 
left. 

Gen.  XXV?,  16.  And  Abimelech 
said  uuto  Isaac,  Go  from  us;  for 
thou  art  much  mightier  than 
we. 

Gen.  xxxf,  1, 2.  And  he  heard 
the  words  of  Luban's  sons,  saying, 
Jacob  hath  taken  away  all  that 
was  our  father's;  and  of  that 
which  was  our  father's  hath  he 
gotten  all  this  glory.  And  Jacob 
belield  the  countenance  of  Laban, 
and,  behold,  it  was  not  toward 
him  as  before. 

Gen.  xxxvi,  6, 7 [Esau] 

went  into  tlie  country  from  the 
face  of  his  brother  Jacob.  For 
their  riches  were  more  than  that 
they  miglit  dwell  together,  and 
the  land  wherein  they  were 
strangers  could  not  bear  them 
because  of  their  cattle. 

Deut.  viil,  17.  And  thou  say  in 
thine  heart,  My  power,  and  the 
might  of  mine  hand,  hath  gotten 
me  this  wealth. 

Isa.  xxxix,  2-4.  And  Hezekiah 
was  glad  of  them,  and  shewed 
them  the  house  of  his  precious 
things,  \h°i  silver,  and  the  gold, 
and  the  spices,  and  the  precious 
ointment,  and  all  the  house  of  his 
armour,  and  all  that  was  found 
in  his  treasures:  there  was 
nothing  in  his  house,  nor  in  all 
his  dominion,  that  Hezekiah 
showed  them  not.  Tlien  came 
Isaiah  tlie  prophet  unto  king 
HfZekiali,  and  said  unto  him, 
What  said  tliese  men?  and  from 
whence    cumo    tlioy    unto  thee? 


And  Hezekiah  said.  They  are 
come  from  a  far  country  unto  me, 
even  from  Babylon.  Then  said 
lie.  What  have  they  seen  in  thine 
liouse?  And  Hezekiah  answered, 
All  that  is  in  mine  house  have 
they  seen:  there  is  nothing  among 
my  treasures  that  I  have  not 
shewed  them. 

Dan.  xi,  2.  And  now  will  I  show 
thee  the  truth.  Beliold,  there 
shall  stand  up  yet  three  kings  in 
Persia;  and  the  fourth  shall  be  far 
richer  than  they  all:  and  by  his 
strength  through  his  riches  he 
shall  stir  up  all  against  the  realm 
of  Grecia.

Deut.  vi,  10-12.  And  it  shall  be, 
when  tlie  Lord  thy  Godshall  have 
brought  thee  into  the  land  which 
he  sware  unto  thy  fathers,  to 
Abraham,  to  Isaac,  and  to  Jacob, 
to  give  thee  great  and  goodly 
cities,  which  thou  buildest  not. 
And  houses  full  of  all  good  things, 

which  thou  fiUedst  not 

Then  beware  lest  thou  forget  the 
Lord,  which  brought  thee  forth 
out  of  the  land  of  Egypt,  from 
the  house  of  bondage. 

Deut.  viii,  11,  13,  14.  Beware 
that  thou  forget  not  the  Lord 
thy  God,  in  not  keeping  his  com- 
mandments, and  his  judgments, 
and  his  statutes,  which  I  com- 
mand thee  this  day:  And  lohen 
thy  herds  and  tliy  flocks  multiply, 
and  thy  silver  and  thy  gold  is 
multiplied,  and  all  that  thou  hast 
is  multitplied;  Then  thine  heart 
be  lifted  up,  and  thou  forget  the 
Lord  thy  God,  which  brought 
thee  forth  out  of  the  land  of 
Lgypt,  from  the  house  of  bond- 
age. 

Job  xxxi,  24,  25.  If  I  have  made 
gold  my  hope,  or  have  said  to  the 
fine  gold.  Thou  art  my  confidence; 
If  I  rejoiced  because  my  wealth 
v;as  great,  and  because  mine 
hand  had  gotten  much. 

Ps.  Ixii,  10.  Trust  not  in  oppres- 
sion, and  become  not  vain  in 
robbery:  if  riches  increase,  set  not 
your  heart  upon  them. 

Prov.  xi,  28.  He  that  trusteth  in 
his  riches  shall  fall:  but  the 
righteous  shall  flourish  as  a 
l)ranch. 

Prov.  xviii,  11.  The  rich  man's 
wealth  is  his  strong  city,  and  as 
an  high  wall  in  his  own  conceit. 

Matth.  xiii,  22.  He  also  that 
received  seed  among  the  thorns  is 
he  that  heareth  the  word;  and  the 
care  of^this  world,  and  the  deceit- 
tulness  of  riches,  choke  the  word, 
and  he  becomelh  unfruitful. 

Matth.  xix,  21-25.  Jesus  said 
unto  liim,  If  thou  wilt  be  perfect, 
go  and  sell  that  thou  hast,  and 
give  to  the  poor,  and  thou  shalt 


have  treafiure  in  heavenand corat 
and  follow  me.  But  wlicn  ihe 
young  man  heard  that  saying,  he 
went  away  sorrowful:  for  lie  had 
great  possessions.  Then  said 
Jesus  unto  his  disciples,  Verily  I 
say  unto  you,  Tliat  a  rich  man 
shall  hardly  enter  into  the  king- 
dom of  heaven.  And  again  I  say 
uuto  you.  It  is  easier  for  a  camel 
to  go  through  the  eye  of  a  nee  :ie, 
than  for  a  rich  mun  to  enter  into 
the  kingdom  of  God.  Wlien  his 
disciples  heard  zi,  they  were  ex- 
ceeilingly  amazed,  saying.  Who 
then  can  be  saved? 

Mark  viii,  36,  37.  For  what 
shall  it  profit  a  man,  if  lie  sliall 
gain  the  whole  world,  and  lose 
his  own  soul?  Or  what  sliall  a 
man  give  in  exchange  for  his 
soul? 

Mark  x,  21-26.  Then  Jesus, 
beholding  him,  loved  him,  and 
said  unto  him.  One  thing  thou 
lackest:  go  thy  way,  sell  whatso- 
ever thou  hast,  and  give  to  the 
poor,  and  thou  shalt  have  treas- 
ure in  heaven:  and  come,  take  up 
the  cross,  and  follow  me.  And 
he  was  sad  at  that  saying,  and 
went  away  grieved:  for  he  had 
great  possessions.  And  Jesus 
looked  round  about,  and  saith 
unto  his  disciples,  How  hardly 
shall  they  that  have  riches  enter 
into  the  kingdom  of  God!  And 
the  disciples  were  astonished  at 
his  words.  But  Jesus  answereth 
again,  and  saith  unto  them.  Chil- 
dren, how  hard  is  it  for  them 
that  trust  in  riches  to  enter  into 
the  king(l(mi  of  God!  It  is  easier 
for  a  camel  to  go  through  the  eye 
of  a  needle,  than  for  a  rich  man  to 
enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God. 
And  they  were  astonislied  out  of 
measure,  saying  among  them- 
selves. Who  then  can  be  saved? 

Luke  vi,  24,  25.  But  woe  unto 
you  that  are  rich!  for  ye  have  re- 
ceived your  consolation.  Woe 
unto  you  that  am  full!  for  ye  shall 
hunger.  Woe  unio  you  that  laugh 
now!  for  ye  shall  mourn  and 
weep. 

Luke  ix,  25.  For  what  is  a  man 
advantaged,  if  he  gain  the  whole 
world,  and  lose  himself,  or  be  cast 
away? 

Luke  xil,  34.  For  where  your 
treasure  is,  there  will  your  heart 
be  also. 

Luke  xiv,  33.  So  likewise,  who- 
soever he  be  of  you  that  forsaketh 
not  all  that  he  hath,  he  cannot  be 
my  disciple. 

Luke  xviii,  23-26.  And  when  he 
heard  this,  he  was  very  sorrowful: 
for  he  was  very  rich.  And  when 
Jesus  saw  that  he  was  very  sor 
rowful,  he  said.  How  hardly  shall 
they  tliat  have  riches  enter  into 
the  kingdom  of  God!  For  it  ia 
easier  for  a  camel  to  go  through 


MAK 


a  needle's  eye,  than  for  a  rich  man 
to  enter  into  tlie  kingdom  of  God. 
And  they  that  heard  it  said.  Who 
then  can  be  saved? 

1  Tim.  vi,  17,  Charge  them  that 
are  rich  in  this  world,  that  they  be 
not  high  minded,  nor  trust  in  un- 
certain riches,  but  in  the  living 
God,  who  givetli  us  richly  all 
things  to  enjoy. 

James  v,  1-3.  Go  to  now,  pe 
rich  men,  weep  and  howl  for  your 
miseries  that  shall  come  upon 
you.  Your  riches  are  corrupted, 
and.  your  garments  are  moth- 
eaten.  Your  gold  and  silver  is 
cankered;  and  the  rust  of  them 
shall  be  a  witness  against  you, 
and  shall  eat  your  flesh  as  it  were 
fire.  Ye  have  heaped  treasure 
together  for  the  last  days. 

2.  EMOTIONS— PERSONAL. 
SORROW. 

Dmt.  xxviii,  65 But  the 

Lord  shall  give  thee  there  a 
trembling  heart,  and  failing  of 
eyes,  and  sorrow  of  mind. 

Job  iii,  25,  26.  For  the  thing 
which  I  greatly  feared  is  come 
upon  me.  and  that  which  I  was 
afraid  of  is  come  unto  me.  I  was 
not  in  safety,  neither  had  I  rest, 
peither  was  1  quiet;  yet  trouble 
came. 

Job  vi,  2.  3.  Oh  that  my  grief 
were  thorou,:>  hly  weighed,  and  my 
calamity  laid  in  the  balances  to- 
getlier!  For  now  it  would  be 
heavier  than  the  sand  of  the  sea: 
therefore  my  words  are  swallowed 
up. 

Job  vii,  11, 12.  Therefore  I  will 
not  retrain  my  mouth;  I  will  speak 
in  the  anguisli  of  my  spirit;  1  will 
complain  in  the  bitterness  of  my 
soul.  Am  I  a  sea,  or  a  whale,  that 
thou  sette-t  a  watch  over  me? 

Job  xviii,  10-12.  The  snare  is 
laid  for  him  in  tlie  ground,  and  a 
trap  for  him  in  the  way.  Terrors 
shall  make  him  afraid  on  every 
Bide,  and  shall  drive  him  to  his 
feet.  His  strength  shall  be  hun- 
ger-bitten, and  destruction  sJiall 
be  ready  at  his  side. 

Job  xxiii,  2.  Even  to-day  is  my 
complaint  bitter:  my  stroke  is 
heavier  than  my  groaning.

to  halt,  and  my  sorrow  is  continu-

doi^tli  good  like  a  medicine:  but  a 
broken  spirit  Urieth  the  bones.

man  will  sustain  his  infirmity:

bear? 

Prov.  XXV,  20.  As  he  that  taketh 
away  a  garment  in  cold  weather, 
and  as  vinegar  upon  nitre,  so  is 
he  that  singeth  songs  to  an  heavy 
heart. 

Eccles.  vii,  2-4.  It  is  better  to 
go  to  the  house  of  mourning  than 
to  go  to  the  house  of  feasting:  for 
that  is  the  end  of  all  men;  and  the 
living  will  lay  it  to  his  heart. 
Sorrow  is  better  than  laughter: 
for  by  the  sadness  of  the  counten- 
ance the  heart  is  made  bettor. 
The  heart  of  the  wise  is  in  the 
house  of  mourning:  but  the  heart 
of  fools  is  in  the  house  of  mirth. 

Jer.  viii,  18.  When  I  would 
comfort  myself  against  sorrow, 
my  heart  is  taint  in  me. 

Jer.  X,  19.  Woe  is  me  for  my 
hurt!  my  wound  is  grievous  but 
1  said.  Truly  this  is  a  grief,  and  I 
must  bear  it.

the  God  of  Israel,  unto  thee,  O 
Baruch;  Thou  didst  say,  Wue  is 
me  now!  for  the  Lord  hath  added 
grief  to  my  sorrow;  I  tainted  in 
my  sighing,  and  I  find  no  rest. 

James  iv,  9.  Be  afflicted,  and 
mourn,  and  weep:  let  your  laugh- 
ter be  turned  to  mourning,  and 
your  joy  to  heaviness. 

PATIENCE. 

Eccles.  vii,  8.  Better  is  the  end 
of  a  thing  than  me  beginning 
thereof;  and  the  patient  in  spirit 
is  better  than  the  proud  in  spi- 
rit. 

Liike  viii,  15.  But  that  on  the 
good  ground  are  they,  which  in 
an  honest  and  good  heart,  having 
heard  the  word,  keep  it,  and  bring 
forth  fruit  with  patience.

possess  ye  your  souls.

power,  unto  all  patience  and  long- 
suffering  with  joyfulness. 

Heb.  vi,  15.  And  so,  after  he  had 
patiently  endured,  he  obtained 
the  promise. 

Heb.  X,  36.  For  ye  have  need  of 
patience,  that,  after  ye  have  done 
the  will  of  God,  ye  might  receive 
the  promise. 

James  i,  3,4.  Knowing  this,  that 
the  trying  of  your  faitli  worUeth 
patience.  But  let  patience  have 
her  perfect  work,  that  ye  may  be 
perfect  and  entire,  wanting  no- 
thing. 

James  v,  7,  8,  11.  Bo  patient 
therefore,    brethren,    unto     the 

coming  of  the  Lord Be  ye 

also  patient;  stabllsh  yoiir  hearts: 
for  tlic  coming  of  the  Lord  draw- 


eth  nfgh.  Behold,  we  cotinf  thpm 
happy  which  en^iure.  Ye  have 
heard  of  the  patience  of  Job,  and 
have  seen  the  end  of  the  Lord; 
tliat  the  Lord  is  very  pitiful,  and 
of  tender  mercy. 

Eev.  ii,  2,  3.  I  know  thy  works, 
and  tLy  labour,  and  thy  patience, 
and  how  thou  canst  not  bear  them 
which  are  evil:  and  thou  hast  tried 
them  which  say  they  are  apostles, 
and  are  not,  and  hast  found  them 
liars:  And  hast  borne,  and  hast 
patience,  and  for  my  name's  sake 
hast  laboured,  and  hast  not  faint- 
ed. 

Bev.  xiv,  12  Here  is  the  patience 
of  the  saints:  here  are  tiiey  that 
keep  the  commandments  of  God, 
and  the  faith  of  Jesus.

forth  to  the  light,  and  I  shall  be- 
hold his  righteousness.

man;  but  the  end  thereof  are  the

end  of  tliat  mirth  is  heaviness. 
Tlie  backslider  in  heart  shall  be 
filled  with  his  own  ways;  and  a 
good  man  shall  be  satisfied  from

in  his  days;  but  in  his  son's  days 
will  I  bring  the  evil  upon  his 
house. 

2  Qlhron.  xxxiv,  27.  Because 
tliine  heart  was  tender,  and 
thou  didst  humble  thjself  before 
God,  when  thou  heardest  his 
words  against  tliis  place,  and 
against  tlie  inhabitants  thereof, 
and  humbledst  thyself  before  me, 
and  didst  rend  thy  clotiies,  and 
weep  before  me;  I  have  even 
heard  thee  also,  saith  the  Lord. 

Fom.  xil,  3.  For  I  say,  through 
th<!  grace  given  unto  me,  to 
evtry  man  that  is  among  you,  not 
to  ihink  of  himself  more  highly 
than  he  ought  to  think;  but  to 
think  soberly,  according  as  God 
hath  dtalf.  to  every  man  the  mea- 
sure of  faith. 

Fph.  V,  21.  Submitting  your- 
seh  es  one  to  another  in  the  fear 
of  God. 

Fhil.  il,  3.  Let  notliing  be  done 
through  strife  or  vain  glory;  but 
in  lowliness  of  mind  let  each 
esteem  other  better  than  them- 
selves. 

James  ili,  1.  My  brethren,  be 
not  many  masters,  knowing  tliat 
we  shall  receive  the  greater  con- 
demn ilion. 

James  iv,  10.  Humble  your- 
selves in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
and  lie  shall  lift  you  up. 

1  Peter  y,  6.  Humble  yourselves 
there  tore  under  the  miglity  liand 
of  God,  that  he  may  exalt  you  in 
due  timt) 


In  Contrast  with  Pride. 

Ps.  cxxxvili,  6.  Though  the 
Lord  be  high,  yet  hath  he  respect 
unto  the  lowly:  but  the  proud  he 
knowelli  afar  off. 

Frov.  iii,  34.  Surely  he  scorneth 
the  scorners:  but  he  giveth  grace 
unto  the  lowly. 

Frov.  xi,  2.  When  pride  coraeth. 
then  Cometh  shame:  but  with  the 
lowly  is  wisdom. 

Frov.  xiii,  10.  Only  by  pride 
Cometh  contention:  but  with  the 
well-advised  is  wisdom. 

Frov.  xvi,  19, 20.  Better  it  is  to  be 
of  an  humble  spirit  with  tlie  lowly, 
than  to  divide  the  spoil  with  the 
proud.  He  that  handleth  a  mat- 
ter wisely  shall  find  good;  and 
whoso  trusteth  in  the  Lord,  happy 
is  he. 

Frov.  xviii,  12.  Before  destruc- 
tion the  heart  of  man  is  haughty; 
and  before  honour  is  humility. 

Frov.  XX v,  6,  7.  Put  not  forth 
thyself  in  the  presence  of  the  king, 
and  stand  not  in  tlie  place  of  great 
men:  For  better  it  is  ihat  it  be 
said  unto  thee,  Come  up  hither, 
than  that  thou  shouhlest  be  put 
lower  in  the  presence  of  the 
prince  whom  thine  eyes  have 
seen. 

Frov.  xxix,  23.  A  man's  pride 
shall  bring  him  low :  but  honour 
shall  uphold  the  humble  in  spirit. 

Ilatth.  xxiii,12.  And  whosoever 
shall  exalt  liimseU  shall  be  abased; 
and  he  that  shall  humble  himself 
shall  be  exalted. 

Lxike  xiv,  11.  For  whosoever 
exidteth  himself  shall  be  abased; 
and  he  that  humbleth  himself 
shall  be  e.xalted. 

James  iv,  6.  But  he  giveth  more 
grace :  whirefore  he  saith,  God 
resisteth  the  proud,  but  giveth 
grace  unto  the  liumble. 

1  Fet.  V,  5.  Likewise,  ye  youn- 
ger, submit  yourselves  unto  the 
elder:  yea,  all  of  you  be  subject 
one  to  another,  and  be  clothed 
with  humility;  for  God  resisteth 
the  proud,  and  givelh  grace  to 
the  humble. 

CONTENTMENT. 
Gen.  xxxiii,  9.    And  Esau  snid, 
I  have  enough,  my  brotlier:  keep 
,  that  thou  hast  unto  thyself. 

Fs.  xvi,  6.  The  lines  are  fallen 
unto  me  in  pleasant  places;  yea,  1 
have  a  goodly  heritage. 

Jer.  xlv,  5.  And  soekest  thou 
great  things  for  thyself?  seek 
them  not:  lor,  behold,  I  will  bring 
evil  upon  all  flesh,  saith  the  Loan; 
but  thy  life  will  I  give  unto  thee 
for  a  prey  in  all  places  whitlier 
thou  goest. 

Fhil.  iv,  11, 12.  Not  that  I  speak 
In  respect  of  want:   for  I  have 


learned,  In  whatsoever  sfate  1 
am,  therevnth  to  be  content.  I 
know  both  how  to  be  abased,  and 
I  know  how  to  abound:  every 
where,  and  in  all  things,  I  am  in- 
structed both  to  be  full  and  to  be 
liungry,  both  to  abound  and  to 
suffer  need. 

1  Tim.  vi,  6-8.  But  godliness 
with  contentment  is  great  gtiin. 
For  we  brought  nothing  into  this 
world,  and  it  is  certain  we  can 
carry  nothing  out.  And  having 
food  and  i-aiment,  let  us  be  thero- 
'with  content. 

Heb.  xiii,  5.  Let  your  conversa- 
tion be  without  covetousness;  and 
be  content  with  such  things  as  yo 
have:  for  he  hath  said,  I  will 
never  leave  thee,  nor  forsake 
thee. 

JOY. 

Frov.  xiv,  13.  Even  in  laughter 
the  heart  is  sorrowlul;  and  the 
end  of  that  mirth  is  heaviness. 
'  Eccles.  ii,  1,  2.  I  said  in  mine 
heart.  Go  to  now,  I  will  provo 
thee  with  mirth;  therefore  enjoy 
pleasure:  and,  behold,  this  also  is 
vanity.  I  said  of  lauirhter.  It  is 
mid:  and  of  mirth.  What  doeth 
it? 

Eccles.  iii,  22.  Wherefore  I  per- 
ceive that  there  is  nothing  better 
than  that  a  man  should  rejoice  in 
his  own  works;  for  that  is  his 
portion:  for  wlio  shall  bring  him 
to  see  Avhat  shall  be  after  him? 

Eccles.  V,  18-20.  Behold  tliat 
which  I  have  seen:  it  is  good  and 
comely  for  one  to  eat  and  to 
drink,  and  to  enjoy  the  good  of 
all  his  labour  that  he  taketh  un- 
der the  sun  all  the  days  of  his  life, 
wliichGod  giveth  him;  for  it  is 
his  portion.  Every  man  also  to 
whom  God  hath  given  riches  and 
wealth,and  hath  given  him  power 
to  eat  thereof,  and  to  take  his 
portion,  and  to  rejoice  in  his 
labour;  this  is  the  gift  of  God. 
For  he  shall  not  much  remember 
the  days  of  his  life;  because  God 
answereth  him  in  the  joy  of  his 
heart. 

Eccles.  vii,  6.  For  as  the  crack- 
ling of  thorns  under  a  pot,  so  is 
the  laughter  of  the  fool.  This 
also  is  vanity. 

Eccles.  ix,  7.  Go  thy  way,  eat 
thy  bread  with  joy,  and  drink  thy 
wine  with  a  merry  heart;  for  God 
now  accepteth  thy  works. 

Eccles.  xi,  9.  Rejoice,  O  young 
man,  in  thy  youth,  and  let  thy 
heart  cheer  thee  in  the  days  of 
thy  youth,  and  walk  in  the  ways 
of  thine  heart,  and  in  the  sight  of 
thine  eyes  :  but  know  thou,  tliat 
for  all  tliese  things  God  will  bring 
thee  into  judgment. 

Luke  viii.  14.  And  that  which 
fell  among  thorns  are  they,  whicl). 


whon  they  have  heard,  go  forth, 
ind  are  clicked  with  caroa,  and 
riches,  and  pleasures  of  this  life, 
wid  bring  no  fruit  to  periection. 

HOPE. 

Job  x\,  18.  And  thou  shalt  be 
lecuro,  because  tliere  is  hope;  yea, 
thou  slialt  dig  about  thee,  and 
thou  Shalt  talie  thy  rest  in  safety. 

Prov.  X,  28.  The  hope  of  the 
righteous  shall  be  gladness:  but 
the  expectation  of  the  wicked 
shall  perish. 

Prov.  xii,  25.  Heaviness  in  the 
heart  of  man  maketh  it  stoop : 
but  a  good  word  ma.eth  it  glad. 

Pi-ov.  xiii,  12.  Hope  deferred 
maketh  the  heart  sick :  but  when 
the  desire  couieth,  it  is  a  tree  of 
Ufe. 

Bom.  iv,  18.  Who  against  hope 
believed  in  hopo,  that  he  might 
b(Come  the  father  of  many  na- 
tions, according  to  that  wliich 
was  spoken,  So  shall  thy  seed 
be. 

DESPAIR. 

Num.  xvii,  12.  13  And  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  spake  unto  Moses, 
Baying,  15eliold,we  die,  we  perish, 
we  all  perish.  Whosoever  Com- 
eth any  thing  near  unto  the  ta- 
bernacle of  the  Lord  shall  die  : 
Blmll  we  be  consumed  with  dy- 
ing? 

Job  xvii,  15.  And  wliere  is  now 
my  hope?  as  for  my  hope,  who 
shall  see  it? 

Ps.  Ixxvii,  7-9.  Will  the  Lord 
cast  off  for  ever?  and  AVill  he  be 
favourable  no  more?  Is  his  mercy 
clean  gonp.  lor  ever?  doth  his  pro- 
mise fail  fur  evermore?  Ilath  God 
forgotten  to  be  gracious?  hath  he 
in  anger  shut  up  his  tender  mer- 
cies?   Seiah. 

Isa.  xxii,  12.  And  in  that  day- 
did  the  Lord  Goo  of  hosts  call  to 
weeping,  and  to  mourning,  and 
to  bjldness,  and  to  girding  with 
sackcloth. 

Jer.  ii,  25.  .  .  .  But  thou  saidst, 
There  is  no  hope:  no,  for  I  have 
loved  strangers,  and  after  them 
•Will  I  go, 

Jer.  xviii,  12.  And  they  said, 
There  is  no  hope;  but  we  will 
walk  after  our  own  devices,  and 
"we  will  every  one  do  the  imagin- 
ation of  his  evil  heart. 

Lam.  iii,  18.  And  I  said,  My 
strength  and  ray  hope  is  perished 
from  the  Lord. 

Lam.  V.  22.  But  thou  hast  utterly 
rejected  us;  thou  art  verv  wroth 
against  us. 

Remedy  of  Undue  Solicitudf. 
Isa.  XXXV,  3,  4.  Strengthen  ye 
the  weak  hands,  and  confirm  the 
feeble  knees.  Say  to  them  that 
are  of  a  fearful  beart,  Be  strong, 


MAN. 

fear  not:  behold,  your  God  will 
Ciniie  with  vengeance,  even  God 
with  a  recompeuce;  he  will  come 
and  save  you. 

Matth.  vi,  25,  31,  83,  34.  There- 
fore I  say  unto  you,  Take  no 
thought  for  your  life,  what  ye 
shall  eat,  or  what  ye  shall  drink; 
nor  yet  for  your  body,  what  ye 
shall  put  on.  Is  not  the  life  more 
than  meat,  and  the  body  than 
raiment?  Therefore  take  no 
thought,  saying.  What  shall  we 
eat?  or.  What  sliall  we  drink?  or, 
Wherewithal  shall  we  be  clothed? 
But  seek  ye  first  the  kingdom  of 
God,  and  his  righteousness;  and 
all  these  things  shall  be  added 
unto  you.  Take  therefore^  no 
thought  for  the  morrow :  lor  the 
morrow  shall  take  thought  for  the 
things  of  itself.  Sufficient  unto 
the  day  is  the  evil  thereof. 

Luke  X,  39-42.  And  she  had  a 
sister  called  Mary,  Avhicii  also.sat 
at  Jesus'  feet,  and  heard  his  word. 
And  Martha  was  cumbered  about 
much  serving,  and  cume  to  him, 
and  said.  Lord,  dost  thou  not 
care  that  my  sister  liath  left  me 
to  serve  alone?  bid  her  therefore 
that  she  help  me.  And  Jesus  an- 
swered and  said  unto  her,  Martha, 
Martha,  thou  art  careful  and 
troubled  about  many  things;  But 
one  thing  is  needlul:  and  Mary 
hath  cliosen  that  good  part, 
which  shall  not  be  taken  away 
from  her. 

Luke  xii,  22,  23,  25-27.  And  he 
said,  unto  his  disciples.  Therefore 
I  say  unto  you,  Take  no  thought 
for  your  life,  what  ye  shall  eat; 
neither  for  the  body,  what  ye 
shall  put  on.  The  life  is  more 
than  meat,  and  the  body  is  more 
than  raiment.  And  which  of  you, 
with  taking  thought,  can  add  to 
his  stature  one  cubit?  If  ye  then 
be  not  able  to  do  that  thing  which 
is  least,  why  take  ye  thought  for 
the  rest?  Consider  the  lilies  how 
they  grow:  they  toil  not,  they 
sphi  not;  and  yet  I  say  unto  you, 
tliat  Solomon,  in  all  his  glory,  was 
not  arrayed  like  one  of  these. 

/,«7ce  xii,  28-31.  If  then  God  so 
clothe  the  grass,  vvhicli  is  to-day 
in  the  field,  and  to-morrow  is  cast 
into  the  oven;  how  much  more 
loill  he  clothe  you,  O  ye  of  little 
faith?  And  seek  not  ye  what  ye 
shall  eat,  or  what  ye  shall  drink, 
neither  be  ye  of  doubttul  mind. 
For  all  these  tilings  do  the  nations 
of  the  world  seek  after:  and  your 
Father  knoweth  that  ye  have 
need  of  these  things.  But  rather 
seek  ye  the  kingdom  of  God;  and 
all  these  things  shall  be  added 
unto  you. 

Mom.  viii,  32.  He  that  spared 
not  his  own  Son,  but  delivered 
him  up  for  us  all,  how  shall  he  not 
with  him  also  freely  give  us  all 
things?

1  Tim.  Iv,  8.  For  bodily  exercfao

profitable  unto  all  things,  having 
promise  of  the  life  that  now  is, 
and  of  that  wiiich  is  to  come. 

Heb.  xii,  12, 13.  Wherefore  lift 
up  the  hands  which  hang  down, 
and  the  feeble  knees;  An  1  make 
straight  paths  lor  your  feet,  lest 
that  which  is  lame  be  turned  eut

healed. 

1  Peter  v,  7.  Casting  all  your

MURMURING. 

Exod  xvi,  9.  Anii  Moses  spake 
unto  Aaron,  Say  unto  all  the  con- 
gregation of  the  children  of  Is- 
rael, Come  near  before  the  Lord: 
for  he  haih  heard  your  murmur- 
ings. 

Num.  xiv,  27-29.  How  long 
shall  I  bear  tolth  this  evil  congre  • 
gation,  which  murmur  against  me? 
I  have  heard  the  murmuringd 
of  the  c'.dliiren  of  Israel,  which 
they  murmur  against  me.  Say 
unto  them,  As  truly  as  1  live, 
saith  the  Lord,  as  ye  have  gpokeu 
in  mine  ears,  so  will  I  do  to  you: 
Your  carcases  shall  fall  in  this 
wilderness;  and  all  that  were 
numbered  of  you,  according  to 
your  whole  number,  from  twenty 
years  old  and  upward,  which 
have  murmured  against  me. 

Num.  xvii,  10, 11.  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  Moses,  Bring  Aaron's 
rod  again  before  the  testimony,  to 
be  kept  for  a  token  against  the 
rebels;  and  thou  shalt  quite  take 
away  their  murmurings  from  me, 
that  they  die  not.  And  Moses 
did  so:  as  the  Loed  commanded 
him,  so  did  he. 

1  Cor.  X,  10.  Neither  murmur 
ye,  as  some  of  them  also  mur- 
mured, and  were  destroyed  of  tho 
destroyer. 

Phil,  ii,  14.  Do  all  things  with, 
out  murmurings  and  dispulings, 

Exod.  xvi,  2,  3.  And  the  whole 
congregation  of  the  children  of 
Israel  murmured  against  Moses 
and  Aaron  in  the  wilderness. 
And  tlie  children  of  Israel  said 
unto  them.  Would  to  God  we  had 
died  by  tiie  hand  of  the  Lord  ia 
the  land  of  Egypt,  when  we  sat 
by  the  flesh-pots,  and  when  wo 
did  eat  bread  to  the  full !  for  ye 
have  brought  us  forth  into  this 
wilderness,  to  kill  this  whole 
assembly  with  hunger. 

Num.  xvi,  41.  But  on  the  mor

Num.  XX,  2-4.  And  there  was 
mo  water  for  the  congregation, 
and  tiiey  gathered  tliemselves 
togetlier  against  Moses  and 
against  Anron.  And  the  people 
cliode  with  Moses,  and  spalce, 
saying,  Would  God  that  we  had 
died  when  our  brethren  died  he- 
fore  the  Lord!  And  why  have 
ye  brought  up  the  congregation 
of  the  Lord  into  this  wilderness, 
.tliat  we  and  our  cattle  should  die 
there? 

Xum.xx\,  5.  And  the  people 
epake  agiiinst  God,  and  against 
Moses,  Wherefore  have  ye 
brought  us  up  out  of  Egypt  to  die 
in  the  wilderness?  for  there  is  no 
bread,  neither  is  there  any  water; 
and  our  soul  loatheth  this  light 
bread. 

Deut.  i,  26,  27.  Notwithstanding 
ye  would  not  go  up,  but  rebelled 
against  the  C(»mmandment  of  tlie 
Lord  your  God.  And  ye  mur- 
mured in  your  tents,  and  said, 
Because  the  Lord  hated  us,  he 
hath  brought  us  forth  out  of  tlie 
land  of  Egypt,  to  deliver  us  into 
the  hand  of  the  Amorites,  to 
destroy  us.

ANGER. 

Nvm.  xxxi,  14.  And  Moses  was 
wroth  with  the  oUicers  of  the 
host 

Judges  ix,  30.  And  when  Zebul, 
the  ruler  ot  the  city,  heard  the 
words  of  Gaal  the  sou  of  Ebed,  his 
anger  was  kindled. 

1  Sam.  XX,  34.  So  Jonathan 
arose  from  the  table  in  fierce 
anger,  and  did  eat  no  meat  the 
second  day  of  the  month:  for  he 
was  grieved  for  David,  because 
his  father  had  done  him  shame.; 

1  Sam.  XXV,  17.  Now  therefore 
know  and  consider  what  thou  wilt 
do;  for  evil  is  determined  against 
our  master,  and  against  all  his 
household:  for  he  is  such  a  son  of 
Belial,  that  a  man  cannot  speak  to 
him. 

Neh,  V,  6.  And  I  was  very  angry 
when  I  heard  their  cry  and  these 
words. 

Job  xxxii,  3-5.  Also  against  his 
three  friends  was  his  wrath  kin- 
dled, because  they  liad  found  no 
answer,  and  yet  had  condemnetl 
Job.  Now  Eliliu  had  waited  till 
Job  had  spoken,  because  they 
W6rc  elder  than  he.    When  Elihu  1 


saw  that  there  was  no  answer  In 
the  mouth  of  these  three  men, 
then  his  wrath  was  kindled. 

Ps.  Ixxvi,  10.  Surely  the  wrath 
of  man  shall  praise  thee:  the 
remainder  of  wrath  shalt  thou 
restrain.

Prov.  xii,  16.  A  fool's  wrath  Is 
presently  known:  but  a  prudent 
man  covereth  shame. 

Prov  xiv,  17,29.  lie  that  is  soon 
angry  dealeth  toolishly;  and  a  mnn 
of  wicked  devices  is  hated.  He 
that  is  slow  to  wrath  is  of  great 
understanding:  but  he  that  is  hasty 
of  spirit  exalteth  folly. 

Prov.  xvi,  32,  He  that  is  slow  to 
anger  is  better  than  the  mighty; 
and  he  that  ruleth  his  spirit  than 
he  that  taketh  a  city. 

Prov.  xlx,  11.  The  discretion  of 
a  man  deferreth  his  anger;  and  it 
is  his  glory  to  pass  over  a  trans- 
gression. 

Prov.  xxli,  8.  He  that  soweth 
iniquity  shall  reap  vanity;  and  the

P7-0V.  xxvii,  3.  A  stone  is  heavy, 
and  the  sand  weighty;  but  a  fool's 
wrath  is  heavier  tliau  them  both. 

Prov.  xxix,  22.  An  angry  man 
stirreth  up  strife,  and  a  furi(jus

And  he  said,  I  do  well  to  be  angry, 
even  unto  death.

council;  but  whosoever  shall  suy. 
Thou  fool,  shall  be  in  danger  of 
hell-fire.

1  Sam.  XXV,  30-35.  And  it  shall 
come  to  pass,  when  the  Loud 
shall  have  done  to  my  lord  accord- 
ing to  all  the  good  that  he  iiath 
spoken  concerning  thee,  and  shall 
have  appointed  thee  ruler  over 
Israel,  That  this  shall  be  no 
grief  unto  thee,  nor  offence  of 
heart  unto  my  lord,  either  that 
thou  hast  shed  blood  causeless,  or 
that  my  lord  hath  avenged  him- 
self; but  when  the  Lord  shall  have 
dealt  well  with  my  lord,  then  re- 
member thine  handmaid.  And 
David  said  to  Abigail,  Blessed  be 
the  Lord  God  of  Israel,  which 
sent  thee  this  day  to  meet  me: 
And  blessed  be  thy  advice,  and 
blessed  be  thou,  which  hast  kept 
me  this  day  from  coming  to  shed 
blood,  and  from  avenging  myself 
with  mine  own  hand.  For  in  very 
deed,  as  the  Lord  God  of  Israel 
liveth,  which  hath  kept  me  back 
from  hurting  thee,  except  thou 
hadst  hasted  and  come  to  meet 
me,  surely  there  liad  not  been  left 
unto  Nabal,  by  the  morning  light, 
any  that  pisseth  against  the  wall. 
So  David  received  of  her  hand 
that  which  she  had  brought  him, 
and  said  unto  her.  Go  up  in  peace 
to  thine  house;  see,  I  have 
hearkened  to  thy  voice,  and  have 
accepted  thy  person.

appointed  to  utter  destruction, 
therefore  thy  life  shall  go  for  his 
life,  and  thy  people  for  his  people.

JEzek.  XXV,  12,15-17.  Thus  saith  the

greatly  oflfended,  and  revenged 
himsell  upon  them.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God,  Because  the  Philistiuef 


MAN. 


have  dealt  by  revenge,  and  have 
iaken  vengeance  with  a  despiteful 
heart,  to  destroy  it  for  the  old 
hatred;  Therefore  thus  eaith 
the  Lord  God,  Behold,  I  will 
Stretch  out  mine  hand  npon 
the  Philistines,  and  I  will  cut 
ofi'  the  Cherethims,  and  destroy 
the  remnant  of  the  sea-coasts. 
And  I  will  execute  great  '.ven- 
geance upon  them  with  furious 
rebukes;  and  they  shall  know  that 
I  am  the  Loed,  when  I  shall  lay 
my  vengeance  upon  them. 

Luke  ix,  54,  55.  And  when  his 
disciples  James  and  John  saw 
this,  they  said.  Lord,  wilt  thou 
that  we  command  fire  to  come 
down  from  heaven,  and  consume 
them,  even  as  Elias  did?  But  he 
turned,  and  rebuked  them,  and 
said,  Ye  know  not  what  manner 
of  spirit  ye  are  of. 

Horn,  xii,  17-19.  Recompense  to 
no  man  evil  lor  evil.  Provide 
things  honest  in  the  sight  of  all 
men.  If  it  be  possible,  as  much  as 
lieth  in  you,  live  peaceably  with 
all  men.  Dearly  beloved,  avenge 
not  yourselves,  but  rather  give 
place  unto  wrath:  for  it  is  written, 
Vengeance  is  mine;  I  will  repay, 
saith  the  Loed. 

Eph.  iv,  31.  Let  all  bitterness, 
and  wrath,  and  anger,  and  clam- 
our, and  evil- speaking,  be  put 
away  from  you,  with  all  malice. 

1  Thess.  V,  15.  See  that  none 
render  evil  for  evil  unto  any  man; 
but  ever  follow  that  which  is 
good,  both  among  yourselves,  and 
to  all  7nen. 

James  v,  9.  Grudge  not  one 
against  another,  bretliren,  lest  ye 
be  condemned:  behold,  the  Judge 
standeth  before  the  door. 

1  John  ii,  9, 10.  He  that  saith  he 
Is  in  the  light,  and  hateth  his 
brother,  is  in  darkness  even  until 
now.  He  that  loveth  his  brother 
abideth  in  the  light,  and  there  is 
none  occasion  of  stumbling  in 
him.

shall  never  be  forgotten.

habitants of  Chaldea,  shall  Jeru- 
salem say. 

Lam.  i,  21.  They  have  heard 
that  I  sigl);  there  is  none  to  com- 
lort  me:  all  mine  enemies  have 
heard  of  my  trouble;  they  are 
glad  that  thou  hast  done  it:  thou 
wilt  bring  the  day  that  thou  hast 
called,  and  they  shall  be  like  unto 
me.

soon  be  cut  down  like  the  grass, 
and  wither  as  the  green  herb. 
Rest  in  the  Loed,  and  wait  pa- 
tiently for  him:  fret  not  thyself 
because  of  Jiim  who  prospereth  in 
his  way,  because  of  the  man  who 
bringeth  wicked  devices  to  pass.

wrath:  fret  not  thyself  in  anywise 
to  do  evil.

the  way.

envious  against  e\il  men,  neither

clapped  thine  hands,  and  stamped 
witli  the  feet,  and  rejoiced  in 
heart  with  all  thy  despite  against 
the  land  of  Israel;  Behold,  there- 
fore I  will  stretch  out  mine  hand 
upon  thee,  and  will  deliver  thee 
for  a  spoil  to  the  heathen;  and  I 
will  cut  thee  off  from  the  people, 
and  I  will  cause  thee  to  perish 
out  of  the  countries:  I  will  destroy 
tliee;  and  thou  shalt  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord. 

Gal.  V,  26.  Let  us  not  be  desirous 
of  vain  glory,  provoking  one 
another,  envying  one  another. 

James  iii,  14-16.  But  if  ye  have 
bitter  envying  and  strife  in  your 
hearts,  glory  not,  and  lie  not 
against  the  truth.  This  wisdom 
descendeth  not  from  above,  but 
is  earthly,  sensual,  devilish.  For 
where  envying  and  striie  is,  there 
is  confusion  and  every  evil  work. 

HYPOCRISY  EXPOSED.

two  masters:  for  either  he  will

not serve  God  and  mammon.

Pharisee,  cleanse  first  tliat  which 
is  within  the  cup  and  platter,  that 
the  outside  of  them  may  be  clean 
iolso. 

Heb.  X,  23.  Let  us  hold  fast  the 
profession  of  our  faith,  without 
wavering,  for  he  is  faithful  tliat 
promised. 

James  i,  6-9.  But  let  him  ash 
In  faith,  nothing  wavering:  for  he 
that  wavereth  is  like  a  wave  of 
the  sea  driven  with  the  wind  and 
tossed.  For  let  not  that  man 
think  that  he  shall  receive  any 
thing  of  the  Lord.  A  double- 
minded  man  is  unstable  in  all  his 
ways.  Let  tlio  brother  of  low  de- 
gree rejoice  in  that  he  is  exalted. 
Jamesiy,  8.  Draw  nigh  to  God, 
and  he  will  draw  nigh  to  you. 
Cleanse  yo^ir  hands,  ye  sinners; 
and  purity  your  hearts,  ye  double- 
miuded.

daily,  and  deliglit  to  know  my 
ways,  as  a  nation  that  did  right- 
eousness, and  forsook  not  the 
ordinance  of  their  God:  they  ask 
of  me  the  ordinances  of  juatic '; 
they  take  delight  in  approaching 
to  God. 

Jer.  iii.  10,  IL  And  yet  for  all 
this  Ler  Ireacherous  sister  Judah 
hath  n!)t  turned  unto  me  with 
her  whale  heart,  but  feignedly, 
Baith  tlie  Lord.  And  the  Loro 
said  unto  me,  The  backsli<ling 
Israel  liath  justiluid  herself  more 
than  treacherous  Judah. 

Jer.  xlii,  20.  For  ye  dissembled 
In  your  hearts,  wlien  ye  sent  me 
unto  the  Lord  your  God,  saying, 
Pray  for  us  unto  the  Lord  our 
God.    .    .    .    , 

Ezek.  xxxiil,  30,  31.  Also,  thou 
son  of  man,  the  children  of  thy 
people  still  are  talking  against 
thee  by  the  walls,  and  in  the  i 
doors  of  the  houses,  and  fipeak 
one  to  another,  every  one  to  Ids 
brother,  saying,  Come,  I  pray  you, 
and  hear  what  is  the  word  tliat 
Cometh  forth  from  the  Lord. 
And  thoy  come  unto  thee  as  the 
poi  pie  Cometh,  and  thoy  sit  be- 
fore theo  as  my  people,  and  they 
hear  thy  words,  but  they  will  not 
do  them:  for  with  their  mouth 
they  shew  much  love,  but  their 
heart  goeth  after  their  covetous- 
Dess. 

Matth.  xxlll,  23,  24,  28.  Woe 
nnto  you,  scrit)es  and  Pliarlsees,

mint  and  anise  and  cummin,  and 
have  omitted  the  weighter  mat-

strain  at  a  gnat,  and  swallow  a 
camel.  Even  so  ye  also  outward- 
ly appear  righteous  unto  men, 
but  within  ye  are  full  of  hypoc- 
risy and  iniquity. 

Mark  vii,  6.  He  answered  and 
said  unto  them.  Well  hath  Esaias 
prophesied  of  you  hypocrites,  as 
it  is  written,  This  people  honour- 
eth  me  with  their  lips,  but  their 
heart  is  far  from  me.

serve  two  masters:  for  either  he 
will  hate  the  one,  and  love  the 
other;  or  else  he  will  hold  to  the

cannot  serve  God  and  mammon. 

Rom.  ii,  20-23.  An  instructor  of 
the  foolish,  a  teacher  of  babes, 
wliich  hast  the  form  of  knowledge 
and  of  the  truth  in  the  law. 
Thou  therefore  which  teachest 
another,  teachest  thou  not  tliyself? 
tliou  that  preachest  a  man  should 
not  steal,  dost  thou  steal?  Thou 
that  sayest  a  man  should  not 
commit  adultery,  dost  thou  com- 
mit adultery?  thou  that  abhorrest 
idols,  dost  thou  commit  sacrilege? 
Thou  that  makest  tliy  boast  of  the 
law.  through  breaking  the  law 
dishonourest  thou  God? 

Gal.  ii,  18.  For  if  I  build  again 
the  things  which  I  destroyed,  I 
make  myself  a  transgressor. 

Titus  i,  16.  They  profess  that 
they  know  God;  but  in  works  they 
deny  him,  being  abominable,  and 
disobedient,  and  unto  every  good 
work  reprobate. 

Its  Punishment. 

Job  viii,  13, 14.  So  are  the  paths 
of  all  that  forget  God;  and  the 
hypocrite's  hope  shall  perish: 
Whose  hope  shall  be  cut  off,  and 
whose  trust  shall  be,  a  spidei-'s 
web.

this  of  old,  since  man  was  placed 
upon  earth,  That  the  triumpii- 
ing  of  the  wicked  is  short,  and 
tlie  joy  of  the  hypocrite  but  for  a 
moment?  Though  his  excellency 
mount  up  to  the  heavens,  and  his 
head  reach  unto  the  clouds;  Yet 
he  shall  perish  for  ever  like  his 
own  dung:  they  which  have  seen 
him  shall  say,  Where  is  he? 

Job  xxvii,  8.  For  wliat  is  the 
hope  of  the  hypocrite,  though  he 
hath  gained,  when  God  taketh 
away  his  soul? 

Job  .\xxvl,  13, 14.  But  the  hypo- 
crites In  heart  heap  up  wrath; 
they  cry  not  when  he  bindeth 
them:  They  die  in  youth,  and 
tlieir  life  is  among  the  unchian. 

P«.   1,  16,  17.    But    unto    the 


wicked  God  salf.h,  What  hast  thon 
to  do  to  declare  my  statutes,  or 
that  thou  shouMest  take  my  cove- 
nant in  thy  moutli?  Seeing  thou 
hatest  instrnction,  and  casteth  my 
words  behind  thee. 

Isa.  ix,  17.  Therefore  the  Lord 
shall  have  no  joy  in  their  young 
men,  neitiier  shall  have  mercy  on 
their  fatherless  and  widows:  for 
every  one  is  an  hypocrite  and  an 
evil-doer,  and  every  mouth  speak-

Isa.  xxxiil,  1, 14.  Woe  to  thee 
that  spoilest,  and  thou  wnst 
not  spoiled;  and  dealest  treach-

Shalt  cease  to  spoil,  thou  shalt  be 
spoiled;  and  when  thou  shalt 
make  an  end  to  deal  treacherous- 
ly, they  shall  deal  treacherously 
with  thee.  The  sinners  in  Ziou 
are  afraid;  fearfulne.ss  hath  sur- 
prised the  hypocrites:  who  among 
us  shall  dwell  with  the  devouring 
fire?  who  among  us  shall  dweU 
with  everlasting  burnings? 

3Iatth.  xxiii,  14,25  27.  Woe  unto 
you,  scribes  and  Pharisees,  hypo- 
crites! for  ye  devour  widows' 
houses,  and  for  a  pretence  make 
long  prayer:  therefore  ye  shall 
receive  the  greater  damnation. 
Woe  unto  you,  scribes  and  Phari- 
sees, hypocrites!  for  ye  make 
clean  the  outside  of  the  cup  and 
of  the  platter,  but  within  th.  y  are 
full  of  extortion  and  excess.  Woe 
unto  you,  scribes  and  Pharisees, 
hypocrites!  for  ye  are  like  unto 
whited  sepulchres,  which  indeed 
api)ear  beaut ilul  outward,  but  are 
within  full  of  dead  men's  bones^ 
and  of  all  uncleanness. 

STRIFE. 

Exod.  ii,  13.  And  when  he  [Moses] 
went  out  the  second  day,  behold, 
two  men  of  the  Hebrews  strove 
together:  and  he  said  to  him  that 
did  the  wrong.  Wherefore  smitest 
thou  thy  fellow? 

Prov.  iii,  29,  30.  Devise  not  evil 
against  thy  neighbour,  seeing  he 
dwelleih  securely  by  thee.  Strive 
not  with  a  man  without  cause,  if 
he  have  done  thee  no  harm. 

Prov.  xvii,  13, 14.  Whoso  reward- 
eth  evil  for  good,  evil  shall  not 
depart  from  his  liouse.  The  be- 
ginning of  strife  is  as  when  one 
letteth  out  water;  therefore  leave 
off  contention,  before  it  bo 
meddled  with. 

Prov.  XXV,  8-11.  Go  not  forth 
hastily  to  strive,  lest  thou  knoio 
not  what  to  do  in  the  end  thereof, 
when  thy  neighbour  hath  i)ut 
thee  to  shame.  Deba;;e  thy  cau^e 
with  thy  neighbour  himself,  and 
discover  not  a  secret  to  another; 
Lest  he  that  heareth  it  put  thee 
to  shame,  and  thine  infamy  tuin 


not  away.  A  word  fitly  spoTcen 
is  like  apples  of  gold  la  pictures  of 
silver.  j 

Mattk.  X,  34-36.  Think  not  tliat 
I  am  come  to  send  peace  on  earth;. 
I  came  not  to  send  peace,  but  a 
sword.  For  I  am  come  to  set  a 
man  at  variance  against  his 
father,  and  the  daughter  against 
her  mother,  and  the  duughter-in- 
law  against  her  mother-in-law. 
And  a  man's  foes  shall  be  they  of 
bis  own  honsehold. 

Ilatth.  xviii,  14-16.  Even  so  it  is 
not  the  will  of  your  Father  which 
is  in  heaven  tliat  one  of  these 
little  ones  should  perish  More- 
over, if  thy  brother  shall  trespass 
against  thee,  go  and  tell  him  his 
fault  between  thee  and  him  alone: 
if  he  shall  hear  thee,  thou  hast 
gained  thy  brother.  But  if  he 
will  not  hear  thee,  then  take  with 
thee  one  or  two  more,  that  in  the 
mouth  of  two  or  three  witnesses 
every  word  may  be  established. 

Luke  xii,  63.  The  father  shall  be 
divided  against  the  son,  and  the 
son  against  the  father;  the  mother 
against  the  daughter,  and  the 
daughter  against  the  mother;  the 
mother-in-law  against  her  daugh- 
ter in-law,  and  the  daughter-in- 
law  against  her  mother-in-law. 

Acts  vii,  26.  And  the  next  day 
he  showed  himself  unto  them  as 
they  strove,  and  would  have  set 
them  at  one  again,  saying.  Sirs, 
ye  are  brethren;  why  do  ye  wrong 
one  to  another?

a  ni:in  to  cease  from  strife :  but

burning  coals,  and  wood  to  fire ; 
so  is  a  contentious  man  to  kindle 
strife. 

Prov.  xxvlii,  25,  26.  He  that  is 
of  a  proud  heart  stirreth  up 
strife :  but  he  that  putteth  his 
trust  in  the  Lord  shall  be  made 
fat.  He  that  trusteth  in  his  own 
heart  is  a  fool :  but  whoso  walk- 
eth  wisely,  he  shall  be  delivered.

Keep  ye  judgment,  and  do  justice:

vealed. 

Jer.  xxii,  15, 16.  Shalt  thou  reign> 
because  ttiou  closest  thyself  in 
cedar?  Did  not  thy  father  eat  and 
drink,  and  do  judgment  and  jus- 
tice, and  then  it  was  well  with 
him?  He  judged  the  cause  of  the

things  that  ye  shall  do;  Speak  ye 
every  man  the  truth  to  his  neigh- 
bour; execute  the  judRineut  of

Ifatth.  vii,  12.  Therefore  all 
things  whatsoever  ye  would  that 
men  should  do  to  you,  do  ye  even 
so  to  them:  for  this  is  the  law  and 
the  prophets. 

Luke  vi,  31.  And  as  ye  would 
that  men  should  do  to  you,  do  ye 
also  to  them  likewise. 

Luke  xvi,  \0, 12.  He  that  is  faith- 
ful in  that  which  is  least,  is  faith- 
ful also  in  much:  and  lie  that  is 
unjust  in  the  least,  is  unjust  also 
In  much.  And  if  ye  have  not  been 
faithful  in  that  which  is  anotlier 
man's,  who  sliall  give  you  that 
which  is  your  own? 

James  ii,  1-4,  9.  My  brethren, 
bave  not  tlie  faith  of  our  Lord 
Jesus  Christ,  the  Lord  of  glory, 
with  respect  of  persons.  For  if 
there  come  into  your  assemblv  a 
man  with  a  gold  ring.  In  goodlj 
j :  apparel,  and  tliere  come  in  also  a 
i  j  poor  man  in  vile  raiment,  And 
ye  have  respect  to  him  that  wear- 
eth  the  gay  clothing,  and  say  unto 
him,  Sit  thou  here  in  a  good  place; 
and  say  to  the  poor,  Stand  thou 
there,  or  sit  tiere  under  my  foot- 
stool: Are  ye  not  then  .partial 
in  yourselves,  and  are  become 
judges  of  evil  thoughts?  But  if 
ye  have  respect  to  persons,  ye 
commit  sin,  and  are  convinced  of 
the  law  as  transgressors.

MAN. 

1  Sam.  xix,  4,  5-  And  Jonathan 
spake  good  of  David  unto  Saul  his 
father,  and  said  unto  him,  Let  not 
the  king  sin  against  his  servant, 
against  David;  because  he  hath 
not  sinned  against  thee,  and  be- 
cause his  works  have  been  to  thee- 
ward  very  good:  For  he  did  put 
his  life  in  his  hand,  and  slew  the 
Philistine,  and  the  Lord  wrought 
a  great  salvation  for  all  Israel: 
thou  sawest  it,  and  didst  rejoice: 
wherefore  then  wilt  thou  sin 
against  innocent  blood,  to  slay 
David  without  a  cause. 


Exod  ii,  20.  And  he  said  unto 
his  daughters,  And  where  is  he? 
why  is  it  that  ye  have  left  the 
man?  call  him,  that  he  may  eat

1  Sam.  XV,  6.  And  Saul  said  unto 
the  Kenites,  Go,  depart,  get  you 
down  Irom  among  the  Amalekites, 
lest  I  destroy  you  with  them:  for 
j^e  shewed  kindness  to  all  the 
children  of  Israel  when  they  came 
up  out  of  Egypt.  So  the  Kenites 
departed  ^om  among  the  Ama- 
lekites. 

2  Sam.  Ix,  1,  3,  7.  And  David 
said.  Is  there  yet  any  that  is  left 
of  the  house  of  Saul,  that  I  may 
Hhew  him  kindness  for  Jonathan's 
sake?  And  the  king  said,  Is  there 
not  yet  any  of  the  house  of  Saul, 
that  I  may  shew  the  kindness  of 
God  unto  him?  And  Ziba  said  unto 
the  king,  Jonathan  hath  yet  a  son, 
which  is  lame  on  Ms  feet.  And 
David  said  unto  him,  Fear  not:  for 
I  will  surely  show  thee  kindness 
for  Jonathan  thy  father's  sake — 

2  Sam.  X,  2.  Then  said  David,  I 
will  shew  kindness  unto  Hanun 
the  son  of  Nahash,  as  his  fatiier 
shewed  kindness  unto  me.  And 
David  sent  to  comfort  him  by  the 
hands  of  his  servants  for  his  father. 
And  David's  servants  came  into 
the  land  of  the  children  of 
Ammon.

unto  the  sons  of  Barzillal  the

came  to  me  when  1  fled  because 
of  Absalom  thy  brother.

2  Tim.  1, 16-18  The  Lord  give 
mercy  unto  the  house  of  Onesi- 
pliorus;  for  he  oft  refreshed  me, 
and  was  not  ashamed  of  my 
chain.  But,  when  he  was  in 
Rome,  he  sought  me  out  very 
diligently,  and  found  me.  Tlie 
Lord  grant  unto  him  that  he  may 
find  mercy  of  the  Lord  in  that 
day:  and  in  how  many  things  lie 
ministered  unto  me  at  Epheaus,

against  my  father's  house  this 
day,  and  have  slain  his  sons,

one  stone,  and  have  made 
Abimelech,  the  s  )n  of  his  maid- 
servant, king  over  the  men  of 
Shechem,  because  he  is  your 
brother:  If  ye  then  have  dealt 
truly  and  sincerely  with  Jerub- 
baal  and  with  his  liouse  this  day,

the  men  of  Shechem,  and  from

and  Moab  and  mount  Seir,  whom 
thou  wouldest  not  let  Israel  in- 
vade, when  they  came  out  of  the 
land  of  Egypt,  but  they  turned 
from  them,  and  destroyed  them 
not;  Behold,  I  say.  how  they  re- 
ward us,  to  come  to  cast  us  out 
of  thy  possession,  which  thou 
hast  given  us  to  inherit. 

Fs.  XXXV,  12.  They  rewarded

me  about  also  With  words  of 
hatred,  and  fought  against  me 
without  a  cause.  For  my  love 
they  are  my  adversaries:  but  I 
give  myself  unto  prayer.  And 
they  have  rewarded  me  evil  for 
good,  and  hatred  for  my  love. 

Jer.  xviii,  20.  Shall  evil  be 
recompensed  for  good?  for  they 
have  digged  a  pit  for  my  soul.

to  turn  away  thy  wrath  from  them.

dren of  Israel  remembered  not 
the  Lord  their  God,  who  had  de- 
livered them  out  of  the  hands  of 
all  their  enemies  on  every  side: 
Neitlier  shewed  they  kindness  to 
the  hoilse  of  Jerubbaal,  namely 
Gideon,  according  to  all  the 
goodness  wliich  he  had  shewed 
unto  Israel. 

2  Ohron.  xxlv,  22.  Thus  Joash 
the  king  remembered  not  the 
kindness  which  Jehoiada  hi^

said,  The  Lord  look  upon  it,  and 
require  it.

like,  namely  tliis,  Thou  shalt  love 
thy  neighbour  as  thyself.  There 
is  none  other  commandment 
greater  than  these. 

Eom.  xiii,  8-11.  Owe  no  man 
any  thing,  but  to  love  one  another 
for  he  tiiat  loveth  another  hath 
fulflilad  the  law.  For  tliis,  Thou 
Shalt  not  commit  adultery,  Tlion 
Shalt  not  kill,  Thou  shalt  not

witness,  Thou  shalt  not  covet; 
and  if  there  be  any  other  com- 
mand men;.,  it  is  briefly  compre- 
hended in  this  saying,  namely. 
Thou  Shalt  love  thy  neighbour  as 
thyself.  Love  worketh  no  ill  to 
his  neighbimr  therefore  love  is 
the  fulfliling  of  the  law.  And 
that,  knowing  the  time,  that  now 
it  is  high  time  to  awake  out  of 
Bleep:  for  now  is  our  salvation 
nearer  than  when  we  believed. 

Gal.  v,  14.  For  all  the  law  is  ful- 
filled in  one  word,  even  In  this. 
Thou  Shalt  love  thy  neighbour  as 
thyself. 

Eel),  xiii,  1.  Let  brotherly  love 
continue. 

James  ii,  8.  If  ye  fulfil  the  royal 
law  according  to  the  scripture. 
Thou  Shalt  love  thy  neighbour  as 
thyself,  ye  do  well. 

1  Peter  iv,  8.  And,  above  all 
things,  have  fervent  charity  among 
yourselves:  for  charity  shall  cover 
the  multitude  of  sins. 

1  John  ii,  7-10.  Brethren,  I  write 
no  new  commandment  unto  you, 
but  an  old  commandment,  which 
ye  had  from  the  beginning:  the 
old  comm-in  iment  is  the  word 
wMch  ye  have  lieard  from  the  be- 


MAN". 

ginning.  Ag  lin,  a  new  command- 
ment I  write  unru  you,  wliicli 
thing  is  true  in  him  and  in  you; 
because  the  darkness  is  past,  and 
the  true  light  now  shineth.  He 
that  saith  he  is  in  the  light,  and 
hateth  his  brother,  is  in  darkness 
even  until  now.  He  that  loveth 
his  brother  abideth  in  the  light, 
and  there  is  none  occasion  of 
stumbUug  in  him. 
1    John   iii,  10,  11,  13,    14,  18, 

19 Whosoever  doeth  not 

righteousness  is  not  of  God, 
neither  he  that  loveth  not  his 
brother.  For  this  is  the  message 
tliat  ye  heard  from  the  beginning, 
that  we  should  love  one  another. 
Marvel  not,  my  brethren,  it  the 
world  hate  you.  We  know 
that  we  have  passed  from  death 
unto  life,  because  we  love  the 
brethren:  ho  that  loveth  not  his 
brother  abideth  in  death.  My 
little  children,  let  us  not  love  in 
word,  neither  in  tongue;  but  in 
deed,  and  in  truth.  And  hereby 
we  know  that  we  are  of  the  truth, 
and  shall  assure  our  hearts  before 
him. 

Love  to  Enemies. 

Exod.  xxlli,  4,  5.  If  thou  meet 
thine  enemy's  ox  or  his  ass  going 
astray,  thou  shalt  surely  bring  it 
back  to  him  again.  If  thou  see 
the  ass  of  him  that  hateth  thee 
lying  under  his  burden,  and 
woultlest  forbear  lo  help  him;  thou 
shalt  surely  help  with  him. 

Prov.  xxlv,  17.  Rejoice  not  when 
thine  enemy  falleth,  and  let  not 
thine  heart  be  glad  when  he  stum- 
bleth. 

Prov.  XXV,  21. 22.  If  thine  enemy 
be  hungry,  give  him  bread  to  eat; 
and  if  he  be  thirsty,  give  him 
water  to  drink:  For  ihou  shalt 
heap  coals  oi  fire  upon  his  head, 
and  the  Lord  shall  reward  thee. 

Matth.  V,  43,  44,  46,  47.  Ye  have 
heard  that  it  hath  been  said,  Thou 
shalt  love  thy  neighbour,  and 
hate  thine  enemy:  But  I  say  unto 
you.  Love  your  enemies,  bless 
them  that  cur.se  you,  do  good  to 
them  that  hat';  you,  and  pray  for 
them  which  despitefully  use  you, 
and  persecute  you;  Forif  ye  love 
them  which  love  you,  what  re- 
ward have  ye?  do  not  even  the 
publicans  the  same?  And  if  ye 
.salute  your  brethren  only,  what 
do  ye  more  than  others^  do  not 
even  the  publicans  so? 

Luke  vi,  26-28,32-35.  Woe  unto 
you  when  all  men  shall  speak  well 
uf  you!  lor  so  did  their  fathers  to 
the  false  prophets.  But  I  say  unto 
you  which  hear.  Love  your 
enemies,  do  good  to  them  which 
hate  you.  Bless  them  that  curse 
you,  and  pray  for  them  which 
despitefully  use  you.  For  if  ye 
love  them  which,  love  you,  what 
thank  have  ye?  for  siauera  also  love 


those  tha'  love  them.  And  if  ye 
lend  to  them  of  whom  ye  hope  to 
receive,  what  thank  have  ye?  for 
sinners  also  lend  to  sinners,  to 
receive  as  much  again.  But  love 
ye  your  enemie's,  and  do  good, 
and  lend,  hoping  for  nothing 
again;  and  your  reward  shall  be 
great,  and  ye  shall  be  the  children 
of  the  Highest:  for  he  is  kind  unto 
the  unthankful  and  to  the  evil. 

1  Sam.  xxiv,  17-19.  And  he  said 
to  David,  Thou  art  more  righteous 
than  I;  for  thou  hast  rewarded  me 
good,  whereas  I  have  rewarded 
thee  evil.  And  thou  hast  shewed 
this  day  how  that  thou  has  dealt 
well  with  me:  forasmuch  as,  when 
the  Loud  had  delivered  me  into 
thine  hand,  thou  klUedst  me  not. 
For  if  a  man  find  his  enemy,  will 
he  let  him  go  well  awaj?  Where- 
fore the  Lord  reward  thee  good 
for  that  thou  hast  done  unto  mo 
this  day. 

Job  xxxl,  29,  30.  If  I  rejoiced  at 
the  destruction  of  him  tlmt  liated 
me,  or  lifted  up  myself  wlien  evil 
fuund  him:  Neither  have  I  suf- 
fered my  mouth  to  sin  by  wishing 
a  curse  to  his  soul. 

2  Tim.  iv,  16.  At  my  first  answer 
no  man  stood  with  me,  but  all 
men  forsook  me:  I  pray  God  that 
it  may  not  be  laid  to  their  charge. 

SYMPATHY. 
Job  «xx,  25.  Did  not  I  weep  for 

him  that  was  in  trouble?  was  not 
my  soiSi  grieved  for  the  poor? 

Lam.  iii,  51.  Mine  eye  affecteth 
mine  lieart,  because  of  all  the 
daughters  of  my  city. 

Bom.  xii,  15,  16.  Rejoice  with 
them  thaw  do  rejoice,  and  weep 
with  them  that  weep.  Be  of  the 
same  mind  one  toward  another. 
Mind  not  high  things,  but  condes- 
cend to  men  of  low  estate.  Be 
not  wise  in  your  own  conceits. 

Qol.  iii,  12.  Put  on  therefore,  as 
the  elect  of  God,  holy  and  beloved, 
bowels  of  mercies,  kindness,  hum- 
bleness of  mind;  meekness,  long- 
Buflering. 

Ueb.  xlll,  3.  Remember  them 
that  are  in  bonds,  as  bound  with 
them;  and  them  which  suffer  ad- 
versity, as  being  yourselves  also 
In  the  body. 

FORGIVENESS  OF  INJURIES. 

Zech.  vii,  9.  Thus  speaketh  the 
Loud  of  host,  saying,  Execute  true 
judgment,  and  shew  mercy  and 
compassions,  every  man  to  bis 
brother. 

Matth.  V,  7,  23,  24.  Blessed  a 
the  merciful :  for  they  shall  obt 
mercy.    Therefore,  if  thou  br 
thy  gift  to  the  altar,  and  there  re- 
memberest  that  thy  brother  hath 
ought  against  thee;    Leave  Ulero 


thy  gift  Tiefofft  tlie  altar,  and  go 
thy  way;  first  be  reconciled  to 
thy  brother,  and  then  come  and 
I  offer  thy  gilt. 

j  Matth.  vi,  14,  15.  For  if  ye  for- 

!  give  men  their  trespasses,  your 

I  heavenly  Father  will  also  forgive 

I  you;  but  if  ye  forgive  not  men 

j  their  trespasses,  neither  will  your 

I  Father  forgive  your  trespasses. 

Matth.  xviii,  21, 22, 35.  Then  came 
Peter  to  him,  and  said.  Lord,  how 
oft  shall  my  brother  sin  against 
me,  and  I  forgive  him?  till  seven 
times?  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  I 
say  not  unto  thee,  Until  seven 
times;  but,  Until  seventy  times 
Bcven.  So  likewise  shall  my 
heavenly  Father  do  also  unto  you, 
if  ye  from  your  hearts  forgive  not 
every  one  his  brother  their  tres- 


LuTx  vi,  36,  87.  Be  ye  therefore 
merciful,  as  your  Father  also  is 
merciful.  Judge  not,  and  ye  shall 
not  be  judged:  condemn  not,  and 
ye  shall  not  be  condemned:  for- 
give, and  ye  shall  be  forgiven. 

Luke  xvil,  3,  4.  Take  heed  to 
yourselves:  If  thy  brother  trespass 
against  thee,  rebuke  him;  and  if 
he  repent,  forgive  him.  And  if  he 
trespass  against  thee  seven  times 
in  a  day,  and  seven  times  in  a 
day  turn  again  to  thee,  saying,  I 
repent;  thou  shalt  forgive  him. 

Epli.  iv,  32,  And  be  ye  kind  one 
to  another,  tender-hearted,  for- 
giving one  another,  even  as  God 
for  Christ's  sake  hath  forgiven 
you. 

Qol.  ill,  13.  Forbearing  one  an- 
other, and  forgiving  one  another. 
If  any  man  have  a  quarrel  against 
any:  even  as  Christ  forgave  you, 
EO  also  do  ye. 

GOOD  EXAMPLE.— DUTY 

OF   SETTING  AND 

FOLLOWING  IT. 

Josh,  xxiv,  31.  And  Israel  served 
the  Lord  all  the  days  of  Joshua, 
and  all  the  days  of  the  elders  that 
overlived  Joshua,  and  wliich  had 
known  all  the  works  of  the  Lord 
that  he  had  done  for  Israel. 

Judg.  ii,  7.  And  the  people 
served  the  Lord  all  the  days  of 
Joshua,  and  all  the  days  of  the 
elders  that  outlived  Joshua,  who 
had  seen  all  the  great  works  of 
the  Lord,  that  he  did  for  Israel. 

Judg.  iv,  1.  And  the  children 
Of  Israel  again  did  evil  in  the 
Bight  of  the  Loud  when  Ehud  was 
dead. 

Prov.  ii,  20.  That  thou  mayest 
walk  in  the  way  of  good  men, 
nnd  keep  the  paths  of  the  right- 
eous. 

Matth.  V,  13-16,  Ye  are  the  salt 
of  the  earth :  but  if  the  salt  have 


MAN, 

lost  hfs  savour,  wherewith  shall 
it  be  salted?  it  is  thenceforth  good 
for  nothing,  but  to  be  cast  out, 
and  to  be  trodden  under  foot  of 
men.  Ye  are  tlie  light  of  the 
world.  A  city  that  is  set  on  an 
hill  cannot  be  hid.  Neither  do 
men  light  a  candle,  and  put  it 
under  a  bushel,  but  on  a  candle- 
stick ;  and  it  givelh  light  unto  all 
that  are  in  the  house.  Let  your 
light  so  shine  before  men,  that 
they  may  see  your  good  works, 
and  glorify  your  Fatlier  which  is 
in  heaven. 

John  xiii,  13-15.  Ye  call  me 
Master  and 'Lord:  and  ye  say  well; 
for  so  I  am.  If  I  then,  your  Lord 
and  Master,  have  waslied  your 
feet,  ye  also  ought  to  wash  one 
another's  feet.  For  I  have  given 
you  an  example,  tliat  ye  should 
do  as  I  have  done  to  you. 

2  Qor.  viii,  8.  I  speak  not  by 
commandment,  but  by  occasion 
of  the  forwardness  of  others,  and 
to  prove  the  sincerity  of  your 
love. 

Phil,  iii,  17.  Brethren,  be  fol- 
lowers together  of  me,  and  mark 
them  which  walk  so,  as  ye  have 
us  for  an  ensample. 

1  Thess.  1,  6-8.  And  ye  became 
followers  of  us,  and  of  the  Lord, 
having  received  the  word  in  much 
affliction,  with  joy  of  the  Holy 
Ghost:  So  that  ye  were  ensamples 
to  all  that  believe  in  Macedonia 
and  Achaia.  For  from  you  sound- 
ed out  the  word  of  the  Lord  not 
only  in  Macedonia  and  Achaia, 
but  also  in  every  place  your  faith 
to  God-ward  is  spread  abroad;  so 
that  we  need  not  to  speak  any 
thing. 

Het3.  vi,  12.  That  ye  be  not  sloth- 
ful, but  followers  of  them  who 
through  faith  and  patience  inherit 
the  promises. 

1  Pet.  ii,  12.  Having  your  con- 
versation honest  among  the  Gen- 
tiles; that,  whereas  tliey  speak 
against  you  as  evil-doers,  tliey 
may  by  your  good  works,  which 
they  shall  behold,  glorify  God  in 
the  day  of  visitation. 

Bad  Example  to  be  Avoided. 

Lev.  xviii,  2,  3.  Speak  unto  the 
children  of  Israel,  and  say  unto 
them,  I  am  the  Lord  your  God. 
After  the  doings  of  the  land  of 
Egypt,  wherein  ye  dwelt,  shall  ye 
not  do;  and  after  the  doings  of 
the  land  of  Canaan,  whitlier  I 
bring  you,  shall  ye  not  do ;  nei- 
ther sliall  ye  walk  In  their  ordi- 
nances. 

Lev.  XX,  23.  And  ye  shall  not 
walk  in  the  manners  of  the  na- 
tions which  I  cast  out  before  you: 
for  they  committed  all  these 
things,  and  therefore  1  abhorred 
them.  I 


Deut.  xviii,  9.  When  thou  art 
come  into  the  land  which  the 
Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee,  thou 
Shalt  not  learn  to  do  after  the 
abominations  of  those  nations. 

2  Qhron.  xxx,  7.  And  be  not  ye 
like  your  fathers,  and  like  your 
brethren,  which  trespassed 
against  the  Lord  God  of  their 
fathers,  who  therefore  gave  them 
up  to  desolation,  as  ye  see. 

Neh.  V,  9.  Also  I  said,  It  is  not 
good  that  ye  do :  ought  ye  not  to 
walk  in  the  fear  of  our  God,  be- 
cause of  the  reproach  of  the  hea- 
then our  enemies  ? 

75a.  viii,  11.  For  the  Lord  spake 
thus  to  me  with  a  strong  hand, 
and  instructed  me,  that  I  should 
not  walk  in  the  way  of  this  people, 
saying. 

Ezelt.  XX,  18.  But  I  said  unto 
their  children  in  the  wilderness. 
Walk  ye  not  in  the  statutes  of 
your  fathers,  neither  observe  their 
judgments,  nor  defile  yourselves 
with  their  idols. 

Zech.  i,  4.  Be  ye  not  as  your  fa- 
thers, unto  whom  the  former  pro- 
phets have  cried,  saying,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts.  Turn  ye 
now  from  your  evil  ways,  and 
frofm  your  evil  doings :  but  they 
did  not  hear,  nor  hearken  unto 
me,  saith  the  Lord. 

Matth.  xxiii,  1-3.  Then  spake 
Jesus  to  the  multitude,  and  to  hia 
disciples,  Saying,  The  scribes  and 
the  Pharisees  sit  in  Moses'  seat: 
All  therefore  whatsoever  they  bid 
you  observe,  that  observe  and  do; 
but  do  not  ye  after  their  works : 
for  they  say,  and  do  not. 

1  (7or.  V,  6.  Your  glorying  is  not 
good.  Know  ye  not  that  a  Uttle 
leaven  leaveneth  the  whole 
lump. 

1  (^or.  X,  6.  Now  these  things 
were  our  examples,  to  the  intent 
we  should  not  lust  after  evil 
things,  as  they  also  lusted. 

Eph.  iv,  17.  This  I  say  therefore, 
and  testify  in  the  Lord,  that  ye 
henceforth  walk  not  as  other  Gen- 
tiles walk,  in  the  vanity  of  their 
mind. 

3  John  11.  Beloved,  follow  not 
that  which  is  evil,  hut  that  which 
is  good.  He  that  doeth  good  is  of 
God :  but  he  that  doetii  evil  hatli 
not  seen  God.

FORMS. 

Oen.  Ix,  18. 19.  And  the  sons  of 
Noah,  that  went  forth  of  the  ark, 
were  Shem,  and  Ham.  and 
Japheth:  and  Ham  is  the  father 
of  Canaan.    These  are  the  three 


sons  of  Noali:  and  of  (liem  was 
the  whole  earth  oveirp.ead. 

Eoeod.  xvi,  17,  18.  And  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  did  so,  and  gather- 
ed, some  more,  some  less.  And 
when  they  did  mete  U  with  an 
omer,  he  that  gathered  much  had 
nothing  over,  and  he  that  gather- 
ed little  had  no  lack:  they  gather- 
ed every  man  according  to  his 
eating. 

Job  xxxi,  13-15.  If  I  did 
despise  the  cause  of  my  man-ser- 
V  int,  or  of  my  maid-servant,  when 
they  contended  with  me:  What 
then  shall  I  do  when  God  riseth  up? 
and  when  he  visiteth,  what  shall  I 
answer  him?  Did  not  he  that 
made  me  in  the  womb  make  him? 
and  did  not  one  fashion  us  in  the 
womb? 

Job  xxxiv,  19.  How  much  less  to 
him  that  accepteth  not  tliepersons 
of  princes,  nor  regardeth  tiie  rich 
more  than  the  pour?  for  they  all 
ai-e  the  work  of  his  hands. 

Ps.  xllx,  1,2.  Hear  this,  all  ye 
people;  give  ear,  all  ye  Inhabitants 
of  the  World:  Both  low  and  high, 
rich  and  poor,  together. 

Ps.  Ixii,  9.  Surely  men  of  low 
degree  are  vanity,  and  men  of 
high  degree  are  a  lie:  to  be  laid  in 
the  bala:  ce,  tliey  are  altogether 
lighter  than  vanity. 

Ps.  cxlviii,  11-13.  Kings  of  the 
earth,  and  all  people;  princes,  and 
all  judges  of  the  earth :  Both 
young  men  and  middens;  old  men 
and  cliildren:  Let  them  praise 
the  name  of  the  Lor;):  for  his 
name  alone  is  excellent;  his  glory 
is  above  the  earth  and  heaven. 

Prov.  xxii,  2.  The  rich  and  poor 
meet  together,  the  Lobd  is  the

deceillul  man  meet  togetlier;  the 
Lord  Ughteneth  both  their  eyes. 

Eccles.  iv,  1.  So  I  returned,  and

that  are  done  under  the  sun:  and

I  forter;  and  on  the  siile  of  thyir  op- 
pressors tJiere  was  power,  but  they

Tsa.  li,  9.  And  the  mean  man 
boweth  down,  and  the  great  man

MAN. 

Isa.  xxtv,  2.  And  it  shall  be,  ns 
with  the  people,  so  with  tlie  priest; 
as  with  the  servant,  so  with  his 
master;  as  with  the  maid,  so  with 
her  mistress;  as  with  the  buyer,  so 
with  the  seller;  as  with  the  lender, 
so  with  the  borrower,  as  with  the 
taker  of  usury,  so  with  the  giver 
of  usury  to  him. 

Jer.  V,  4.  5.  Therefore  I  said, 
Surely  these  are  poor,  they  are 
foolish:  for  they  know  not  the  way 
of  the  Lord,  nor  the  ju<lgment  of 
their  God.  I  will  get  me  unto  the 
great  men,  and  will  speak  unto 
them;  for  they  have  known  the 
way  of  the  Lord,  and  the  judg- 
ment of  their  God:  but  these  have 
altogether  broken  the  yoke,  and 
burst  the  bonds. 

Jer.  xiii,  13, 14.  Then  shalt  thou 
say  unto  them,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Behold,  I  will  fill  all  the 
inhabitants  of  this  land,  even  the 
kings  that  sit  upon  David's  throne, 
and  the  priests,  and  the  prophets, 
and  all  the  inhabitants  of  Jerusa- 
lem, with  drunkenness.  And  I 
will  dash  them  one  against  an- 
other, even  the  fathers  and  the 
sons  together,  saith  the  Lord:  I 
will  not  pity,  nor  spare,  nor  have 
mercy,  but  destroy  them. 

Mai.  ii,  10.  Have  we  not  all  one 

father?  iiath  not  one  God  created 
us?  why  do  we  deal  treacherously 
every  man  against  his  brother,  by 
profaning  the  covenant  of  our 
fathers? 

Acts  ii,  44-47.  And  all  that  be- 
lieved were  together,  and  had  all 
tilings  common;  And  sold  their 
possessions  and  goods,  and  parted 
them  to  all  men.  as  every  man 
had  need.  And  they,  continuing 
daily  with  one  accord  in  the  tem- 
ple, and  breaking  bread  from 
house  to  house,  did  eat  their  meat 
with  gladness  and  singleness  of 
heart,  Praising  God,  and  having

the  Lord  added  to  tiie  church  daily 
such  as  should  be  saved. 

Acts  iv,  32,  34--37.  And  the  mul- 
titude of  them  that  believed  were 
of  one  heart  and  of  one  soul: 
neither  said  any  of  them  that 
ought  of  the  things  which  he  pos- 
sessed was  his  own;  but  they  had 
all  things  common.  Neither  was 
there  any  among  them  that  1  ick- 
eil:  for  as  many  as  were  possessors 
of  hinds  or  houses  sold  them,  and 
brought  the  prices  of  the  things  that 
were  sold.  And  laid  them  down  at 
the  aposlles'  feet:  and  distribution 
was  made  unto  every  man  accord- 
ing as  he  had  need.  And  Joses, 
who  by  the  apostles  was  surnamed 
Barnabas,  (wiiich  is,  being  inter- 
preted, Tiie  son  of  consolation,)  a 
Levite,  and  of  the  country  of 
Cyprus,  Having  land,  sold  it,  and 
brought  the  money,  and  laid  it  at 
the  apostles'  feet.

that  now  at  this  time  your  abun- 
dance may  be  a  supply  for  their

that  had  gathered  little  had  uo

flower  of  the  grass  he  shall  pass 
away.

truly,  if  they  had  been  mindful  of 
that  country  from  whence  they 
came  out.  tliey  might  have  had 
opportunity  to  liave  returned, 
(ui  wliom  the  Wurld  was  not

foot  fiom  thy  neighbour's  house;

hate  thee.

adan  the  captain  of  the  guard  lett 
of  the  poor  of  the  people,  which

and  gave  them  vineyards  and 
fields  at  the  same  time.

every  man  under  his  vine,  and 
under  his  hg-tree;  and  none  shall 
make  them  afraid :  for  the  mouth 
of  the  LoBu  of  hosts  hath  spoken 
it. 

Zech.  ill,  10.  In  that  day,  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts,  shall  ye  call 
every  man  his  neighbour  under 
the  vine  and  under  the  fig-tree. 

FRIENDSHIP. 

Job  vi,  14,  15.  To  him  that  is 
afflicted  pity  should  be  showed 
from  his  Iriend;  but  he  forsaketh 
the  fear  of  the  Almighty.  My 
brethren  have  dealt  deceitfully  as 
a  brook,  and  as  the  stream  of 
brooks  they  pass  away. 

Prov.  xviii,  24.  A  man  that  hath 
friends  must  show  himself  iriend- 
ly:  and  there  is  a  friend  that  stick- 
eth  closer  than  a  brother.

friend,  and  thy  father's  frieiul, 
forsake  not;  neither  go  into  thy 
brother's  house  in  the  day  of  thy 
calamity :  for  better  is  a  neigli- 
bour  that  is  near,  than  a  brotuer 
far  off.  He  that  blesseth  his  iriend 
with  a  loud  voice,  rising  early  in 
the  morning,  it  shall  be  counted  a 
curse  to  him.

MAIT. 


igooTit  and  stand  beside  my  father 
tn  the  field  where  thou  ai't,  and  I 
will  commune  with  my  father  of 
thee;  and  what  I  see,  tliat  I  will 
tell  thee.  And  Jonatlian  called 
David,  and  Jonathan  showed  him 
all  tliose  things:  and  Jonathan 
brought  David  to  Saul,  and  he 
was  in  hia  presence,  as  in  times 
past.  And  there  was  war  again : 
and  David  went  out  and  fouglit 
with  tlie  Pliilistines,  and  slew 
them  with  a  great  slaughter,  and 
they  fl-d  from  him. 

1  Sam.  XX.  1.  2,  4.  Aj?d  David 
fled  from  Naioth  in  Ramah,  and 
cime  and  said  before  Jonathan, 
What  have  I  done?  what  is  mine 
iniquity?  and  what  is  my  sin  be- 
fore thy  fatlier,  that  he  seeltetli 
my  life?  And  lie  said  unto  him, 
God  forbid;  thou  shalt  not  die: 
behold,my  father  will  do  nothing, 
eiiher  great  or  small,  but  that  he 
will  show  it  me;  and  why  should 
my  father  hide  this  thing  from 
me?  it  is  not  so.  Then  said  Jona- 
than unto  David,  "Whatsoever  thy 
soul  desirelh,  I  will  even  do  it  for 
thee. 

1  Sam.  xxiii,  16. 17.  And  Jona- 
than, Saul's  son,  arose,  and  went 
to  David  into  the  wood,  and 
strengthened  liis  hand  in  God. 
And  he  paid  unto  him,  Fear  not; 
for  the  hand  of  Saul  my  father 
shall  not  find  thee:  and  thou 
Shalt  be  king  over  Israel,  and  I 
shall  he  next  unto  thee;  and  that 
also  Saul  my  father  knoweth. 

Prov.  xvii,  17.  A  friend  loveth 
at  all  times;  and  a  brother  is  born 
for  adversity. 

Frov.  xxvii,  9. 16, 17.  Ointment 
and  perfume  rejoice  the  heart;  so 
doth  the  sweetness- of  a  man's 
friend  by  hearty  counsel.  Whoso- 
ever hideth  her  hideth  the  wind, 
and  the  ointment  of  his  right 
hand,  which  bewrayeth  itself. 
Iron  sharpeneth  iron;  so  a  man 
Bharpeneth  the  countenance  of  his 
friend. 

Eccles.  iv,  9-12.  Two  are  better 
than  one;  because  they  have  a 
good  reward  for  their  labour. 
For  if  they  fall,  the  one  will  lift 
up  his  fellow:  but  woe  to  him  that 
is  alone  when  he  falleth ;  for  he 
hath  not  anotlier  to  help  him  up. 
Again,  if  two  lie  together,  then 
they  have  heat :  but  how  can  one 
be  warm  alone  f  And  if  one  pre- 
vail against  him,  two  shall  with- 
stand him;  and  a  threefold  cord  is 
not  quickly  broken. 

STBIKIMa  iNSTAMCSS. 

1  Sam.  xviii,  1-3.  And  it  came 
to  pass,  when  he  had  made  an 
end  of  speaking  unto  Saul,  that 
the  soul  of  Jonathan  was  knit 
Mitli  the  sold  of  David,  and  Jona- 
than loved  him  as  his  own  soul. 


And  Saul  took  him  that  day,  ana 
would  let  him  go  no  more  home 
to  his  father's  house.  Then  Jon- 
athan and  David  made  a  cove- 
nant, because  he  loved  him  as  his 
own  soul. 

1  Sam  XX,  8-12.  Therefore  thou 
Shalt  deal  kindly  with  thy  ser- 
vant ;  lor  thou  hast  brought  thy 
servant  into  a  covenant  of  tlie 
Lord  with  tliee:  iiotwitlistanding, 
If  there  be  in  me  iniquity,  slay  me 
■  ttiyself;  for  why  shouldest  thou 
bring  me  to  thy  father?  And  Jon- 
athan said.  Far  bo  it  from  thee: 
for  if  I  knew  certainly  that  evil 
were  determined  by  my  father  to 
come  upon  thee,  then  would  not 
I  tell  it  thee?  Then  said  David 
t )  Jonathan,  Who  shall  tell  me? 
or  what  ^/ thy  father  answer  thee 
roughly?  And  Jonathan  said 
unto  David,  Come,  and  let  us  go 
out  into  the  field.  And  they 
went  out  both  of  them  into 
tlie  field.  And  Jonathan  said 
unto  David,  O  Lord  God  of 
Israel,  when  I  have  sounded  my 
father  about  to-morrow  any  time, 
or  tlie  third  day,  and,  behold,  if 
there  be  good  toward  David,  and 
I  then  send  not  unto  thee,  and 
show  it  thee. 

2  Sam.  xiii,  3.  But  Amnon  had 
a  friend,  whose  name  was  Jona- 
dab,  the  son  of  Sliimeab,  David's 
brother:  and  Jonadab  was  a  very 
subtile  man. 

Job  ii,  11, 13.  Now,  when  Job's 
three  friends  heard  of  all  tliis  evil 
that  was  come  upon  him,  they 
came  every  one  from  his  own 
place;  Eiiphaz  the  Temanite,  and 
Uildad  the  Shuhite,  and  Zophar 
the  Naaraathite:  f>r  they  had 
made  an  appointment  together  to 
come  to  mourn  with  him,  and  tp 
comfort  him.  So  they  sat  down 
with  him  upon  the  ground  seven 
days  and  seven  nights,  and  none 
spake  a  word  unto  him:  for  they 
saw  that  his  grief  was  very 
great. 

Ps.  cxix,  62,  63.  At  midnight  I 
will  rise  to  give  thanks  unto  thee 
because  of  thy  rigliteous  judg- 
ments. I  am  a  cfjmpanion  of  all 
them  that  fear  thee,  and  of  them 
that  keep  thy  precepts. 

Luke  xxiii,  12.  And  the  same 
day  Pilate  and  Herod  were  made 
friends  together;  for  before  they 
were  at  enmity  between  them- 
selves. 

FALSE  FRIENDS. 
Job  vi,  15-20.  .My  brethren 
have  dealt  deceitfully  as  a  brook, 
and  as  the  stream  of  brooks  they 
passed  away.  Which  are  black- 
ish by  reason  of  the  ice,  and 
wherein  tlie  snow  is  hid:  What 
time  they  wax  warm,  they  vanish: 
when  it  is  hot,  they  are  consumed 
403 


out  of  their  place.  The  paths  of 
their  way  are  turned  aside;  they 
go  to  nothing,  and  perish.  The 
troops  of  Tema  looked,  tlie  com- 
panies of  Sheba  waited  for  them. 
They  were  confounded  because 
they  had  hoped;  they  came 
tliither,  and  were  ashamed. 

Job  xix,  19.  All  my  inward 
friends  abhorred  me;  and  they 
whom  I  loved  are  turned  against 
me. 

Ps.  W,  12-15.  For  it  was  not  an 
enemy  that  reproached  me;  then 
I  could  have  borne  it:  neither 
toas  it  he  that  hated  me  that  did 
magnify  himself  agnimt  me;  then 
I  would  liave  hid  myself  from 
him:  But  it  was  thou,  a  man  mine 
equal,  my  guide,  and  mine  ac- 
quaintance. We  took  sweet 
counsel  together,  and  walked 
unto  the  house  of  God  in  com- 
pany. Let  death  seize  upim  them, 
and  let  them  go  down  quick  into 
helh  for  wickedness  is  in  their 
dwellings,  and  among  them. 

Lam.  i,  2.  She  weepeth  sore  in 
the  night,  and  her  tears  are  on 
her  cheeks:  among  all  her  lovers 
she  hath  none  to  comfort  her:  all 
her  friends  have  dealt  treacher- 
ously with  her,  they  arc  become 
her  enemies. 

EVIL    COMPANY    TO    BE 

SHUNNED. 

2  Qhron.  xix,  2.  And  Jehu  the 
son  of  Hanani  the  seer  went  out 
to  meet  him,  and  said  to  king 
Jehoshaphat,  Shouldest  thou 
help  the  ungodly,  and  love  them 
that  hate  the  Lokd  ?  therefore  is 
wrath  upon  thee  from  before  the 
Lord. 

Jobxxl,  16.  Lo,  their  good  is 
not  in  their  hand:  the  counsel  of

you  in  an  epistle  not  to  company 
with  fornicators:  Yet  not  alto- 
gether with  the  fornicators  of  this 
World,  or  with  tlie  covetoTis,  or 
extortioners,  or  with  idolaters;  for 
then  must  ye  needs  go  out  of  the 
world.  But  now  I  have  written 
tmto  you  not  to  keep  company,  if 
any  man  that  is  called  a  brother 
be  a  fornicator,  or  covetctus,  or  an 
Idolater,  or  arailer,  or  a  drunkard, 
or  an  e.xtortioner,  with  such  an 
one  no  not  to  eat.  For  what  have 
I  to  do  to  judge  them  also  that  are 
without?  do  not  ye  judge  them 
that  are  within?  But  them  that  are 
wiihout  God  judgeth.  Therefore 
put  away  from  among  yourselves 
that  wicked  person.

MAN, 

I  hftth  righteousness  with  nnright- 
eousness?  and  what  communion 
hath  light  with  darkness?  Where- 
fore, come  out  from  among  tliem, 
and  be  ye  separate,  saith  the  Lord, 
and  touch  not  the  unclean  thing; 
and  I  will  receive  you. 

Eph.  V,  7, 11.  Be  not  ye  therefore 
partakers  with  them.  And  have 
no  fellowship  with  the  unfruitful 
works  of  darkness,  but  rather  re- 
prove them. 

2  Thess.  iii,  6,  7, 13-15.  Now  we 
command  you,  brethren,  in  the 
name  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
that  ye  withdraw  yourselves  from 
every  brother  that  walketh  dis- 
orderly, and  not  after  the  tradi- 
tion which  he  received  of  us.  For 
yourselves  know  how  ye  ought  to 
follow  us:  for  we  behaved  not  our- 
selves disorderly  among  you:  But 
ye,  brethren,  be  not  weary  in  well- 
doing. And  if  any  man  obey  not 
our  word  by  this  epistle,  note  tliat 
man,  and  have  no  company  with 
him,  that  he  may  be  ashamed. 
Yet  count  him  not  as  an  enemy, 
but  admonish  him  as  a  brother.

yourselves  from  among  this  con- 
gregation, that  I  may  consume 
them  in  a  moment.  And  they  fell 
npon  their  faces,  and  said,  O  God, 
tlie  God  of  the  spirits  of  all  flesh, 
shall  one  man  sin,  and  wilt  thou  bo 
wroth  with  all  the  congregation? 
And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Moses, 
saying.  Speak  unto  the  con- 
gregation, saying.  Get  you  up 
from  about  the  tabernacle  of 
Korah,  Dathan,  and  Abiram.  And 
Moses  rose  up,  and  went  unto 
Dathan  and  Abiram;  and  the 
elders  of  Israel  loUowed  him.  And 
he  spake  unto  the  congregation, 
saying.  Depart,  I  pray  thee,  from 
the  tents  of  these  wicked  men, 
and  touch  nothing  of  theirs,  lest 
j'e  be  consumed  in  all  their  sins. 
So  they  gat  up  from  the  taber- 
nacle of  Korah,  Dathan,  and 
Abiram,  on  every  side:  and 
Dathan  and  Abiram  came  out, 
and  stood  in  the  door  of  their 
tents,  and  their  wives,  and  their 
sons,  and  their  little  children. 
Get  you  up  from  among  this  con- 
gregation, that  I  may  consume 
them  as  ia  a  moment.  And  they 
fell  upon  their  faces.

friendship  with  an  angry  man .  and

go;  Lest  thou  learn  his  ways,  and 
get  a  snare  to  tliy  soul. 

Prov.  xxviii,  7.  Whoso  keepeth

is  a  companion  of  riotous  men 
shameth  liis  fatlier.

will  render  unto  her  a  recom-

the  midst  of  her,  and  deliver  j'e 
every  man  his  soul  from  the  fleico 
anger  of  the  Lord. 

Jiev.  xviii,  4.  And  I  heard 
another  voice  from  heaven,  say- 
ing. Come  out  of  her,  my  people,

her  plagues.

away,  neither  will  I  abhor  them,

ye,  that  ye  use  tJiia  proverb  ccm- 
cerning  the  land  of  Israel,  saying, 
The  fathers  have  eaten  sour 
grapes,  and  the  children's  teeth 
are  set  on  edge?  As  I  live,  s  lith 
the  Lord  God,  ye  shall  not  have 
occasion  any  more  to  use  this  pro- 
verb in  Israel.  Behold,  all  souls 
are  mine;  asthesoul  of  the  father, 
80  also  the  soul  of  the  son  is  mine: 
the  soul  that  sinneth,  it  shall  die. 
But  if  a  man  be  just,  and  do  ti)at 
which  Is  lawful  and  right.  And 
h  ith  not  eaten  upon  the  moun- 
tains, neither  hath  lifted  up  his 
eyes  to  the  idols  of  the  house  of 
Israel,  neither  hath  defiled  his 
neighbour's  wife,  neither  hath 
come  near  to  a  menstruous  wo- 
man. And  hath  not  oppressed 
any,  but  hath  restored  to  the 
debtor  his  pledge,  halh  spoiled 
none  by  violence,  hath  given  his 
bread  to  the  hungry,  and  hath 
covered  the  naked  with  a  gar- 
ment; He  that  hath  not  given 
forth  upon  usury,  neither  hatn 
taken  any  increase,  that  hath 
withdrawn  his  hand  from  iniquity, 
bath  executed  true  judgment  be- 
tween man  and  man.  Hath  walked 
In  my  statutes,  and  haih  kept  my 
Ju  Igments,  to  deal  truly ;  he  is 
Just,  he  shall  surely  live,  saith  the 
Lord  God.  If  he  beget  a  son  that 
is  a  robber,  a  shedder  of  blool, 
and  that  doelh  the  like  to  atiy 
one  of  these  things,  And  that  du- 


eth  Jiot  any  of  those  dutien,  bnt 
even  hath  eaten  upon  the  moun- 
tains, and  doflled  his  neighbour's 
wife,  Hath  oppressed  tlie  poor 
and  needy,  hath  spoiled  by  vio- 
lence, hath  not  restored  the 
pledge,  and  hath  lifted  up  his 
ej'es  to  the  idols,  hath  committed 
abomination.  Hath  given  forth 
upon  usury,  and  hath  taken  in- 
crease: shall  he  then  live?  he  shall 
not  live :  he  hath  done  all  these 
abominations;  he  shall  surely  die; 
his  blood  shall  be  upon  him.  Now, 
lo,  i/he  beget  a  son,  that  soeth  all 
his  father's  sins  which  he  hath 
done,  and  considereth.  and  doeth 
not  such  like,  That  hath  not  eaten 
upon  the  mountains,  neither  hath 
lilted  up  his  eyes  to  the  idols  of 
the  house  of  Israel,  hath  not  de- 
filed his  neighbour's  wife,  Neither 
hath  oppressed  any,  hath  not 
uithholden  the  pledge,  neither 
hath  spoiled  by  violence,  but  hath 
given  his  bread  to  the  Ijungry, 
and  hath  covered  the  naked  with 
a  garment,  That  hath  taken  off 
his  hand  from  the  poor,  that  hath 
not  received  usury  nor  increase, 
hath  executed  my  judgments, 
hath  walked  in  my  statutes;  he 
shall  not  die  for  the  iniquity  of 
his  father,  he  shall  sun  ly  live. 
As  for  his  father,  because  he 
cruelly  oppressed,  spoiled  his 
brother  by  violence,  and  did 
that  which  is  not  good  among  his 
people,  lo,  even  he  shall  die  in  his 
iniquity.  Yet  say  ye.  Why?  doth 
not  the  son  bear  the  iniquity  of 
the  father?  When  the  son  hath 
done  that  which  is  lawlul  and 
right,  and  hath  kept  all  my  stat- 
utes, and  hath  done  them,  he 
shall  surely  live.  The  soul  that 
sinneth,  it  shall  die.  The  son 
shall  not  bear  the  iniquity  of  the 
father,  neilher  shall'  the  father 
bear  the  iniquity  of  the  son  :  the 
righteousness  of  the  righteous 
shall  be  upon  him,  and  the  wick- 
edness of  the  wicked  shall  be  up- 
on him.

came a  sign.  Notwithstanding

commanded,  saying.  The  fathers 
shall  not  be  put  to  death  fur  the 
children,  nor  the  children  be  put 
to  death  for  the  fathers;  but  every 
man  shall  be  put  to  death  for  his 
own  sin.

his  father.  But  he  slew  not  their 
children,  but  did  as  it  is  written 
in  the  law  in  the  book  of  Moses, 
where  the  Lord  commanded,  say- 
ing, The  fathers  shall  not  die  for 
the  children,  neither  shall  the 
children  die  for  the  fathers,  but 
every  man  shall  die  for  hia  own 
sin.

that  they  which  run  in  a  race  run 
all,  but  one  receiveth  the  prize? 
So  run,  that  ye  may  obtain.  And 
every  man  that  striveth  for  the 
mastery  is  temperate  in  all  things. 
Now  they  do  it  to  obtain  a  cor- 
ruptible crown,  but  we  an  incor- 
ruptible. I  therefore  so  run,  not 
as  uncertainly;  so  fight  I,  not  as 
one  that  beateth  the  air:  But  I 
lieep  under  my  body,  and  bring 
it  into  subjection;  lest  that  by  any 
means,  when  I  have  preached  to 
others,  I  myself  should  be  a  cast- 
away.

us,  and  let  us  run  with  patience 
the  race  that  is  set  before  us.

oied  ill  the  laud   of  Egypt!  or, 


MAN, 

would  God  we  had  died  to  this 

wilderness! 

1  Kings  xix,  4.  Hut  he  himself 
went  a  day's  journey  into  the 
wilderness,  and  came  and  sat 
down  under  a  juniper  tree:  and  he 
requested  for  him.SKlf  that  he 
might  die;  and  s;i id.  It  is  enough; 
now,  O  Loud,  lake  away  my  life: 
for  I  am  not  better  than  my 
fathers. 

Job  iii.  11-15,  20-23.  Why  died 
I  not  from  the  womb?  lohy  did  I 
not  give  up  the  ghost  wlien  1 
came  out  of  the  belly?  Wliy  did 
the  knees  prevent  me?  or  why  the 
breasts  that  1  should  suck?  For 
now  should  I  have  lain  still  and 
been  quiet,  I  sliould  have  slept: 
tlien  had  I  been  at  rest  With 
kings  and  counsellors  of  the  earth, 
which  built  desolate  plices  for 
themselves;  Or  with  princes  that 
had  gold,  who  filled  their  houses 
with  silver:  Wherefore  is  light 
given  to  him  that  is  in  misery, 
and  life  unto  the  bitter  in  soul: 
Which  long  for  death,  but  it 
Cometh  not:  and  dig  for  it  more 
than  for  hid  tre;isures;  Which 
rejoice  exceedingly,  and  are  glad 
when  they  can  find  the  grave? 
Why  is  light  given  to  a  man 
whose  way  is  hid,  and  whom  God 
hath  hedged  in? 

Jo&vI,8-ll.  Oh  that  I  might 
have  my  request;  and  that  God 
would  grant  me  the  thing  that  I 
long  foil  Even  that  it  would 
please  God  to  destroy  me;  that  he 
would  let  loose  his  hand,  and  cut 
me  ofn  Then  should  I  yet  have 
comfort;  yea,  I  would  harden  my- 
self in  sorrow:  let  him  not  spare; 
for  I  have  not  concealed  the 
words  of  the  Holy  One.  What  is 
my  strength,  that  I  should  hope? 
and  what  is  mine  end,  that  I 
should  prolong  my  life? 

Job  vii,  15, 16.  So  that  my  soul 
cho'jseth  strangling,  and  death 
rather  than  my  life.  I  loathe  it; 
I  would  not  live  alway:  let  me 
alone;  for  my  days  are  vanity. 

Job  X,  1, 18, 19.  My  soul  is  weary 
of  myUfe:  I  will  leave  mycomplaint 
upon  myself;  I  will  speak  in  the 
bitterness  of  my  soul.  Wherefore 
then  hast  thou  brought  me  forth 
out  of  the  womb  ?  Oh  that  I  had 
given  up  the  ghost,  and  no  eye 
had  seen  me !  I  should  have  been 
as  thongh  I  had  not  been;  1  should 
have  been  carried  from  the  womb 
to  the  grave. 

Job  xiv,  13.  O  that  thou  would- 
est  hide  me  in  the  grave  that 
thou  wouldest  keep  me  secret, 
until  thy  wrath  be  past,  that  thou 
wouldest  appoint  me  a  set  time, 
and  remember  me ! 

Job  xxili,  16, 17.   For  God  mak- 

eth  my  heart  soft,  and  the  Al- 

415 


mighfy  troubleih  me :  Tlecaupe  I 
was  not  cui  off  before  the  dark- 
ness, neither  bath  be  covered  the 
darkness  from  my  faco. 

Eccles.  ii,  17.  Therefore  I  liated 
life;  fjccanso  the  work  that  is 
wrouglit  under  the  sun  is  griev- 
ous unto  me:  for  all  is  vanity  and 
vexation  of  spirit. 

Eccles.  iv,  2,  3.  Wherefore  I 
praised  the  dead  which  are  al- 
ready dead,  more  than  the  living 
which  are  yet  alive.  Yea,  better 
is  he  than  both  they  wliicU  hath 
not  yet  been,  who  bath  not  seen 
the  evil  work  that  is  done  under 
the  sun. 

Jer.  viil,  3.  And  death  shall  be 
chosen  rather  tlian  life  by  all  tlie 
residue  ot  them  that  remain  of 
this  evil  family,  which  remain  la 
all  the  places  whiliier  1  liave 
driven  them,  saith  the  Loed  of 
hosts. 

Jer.  XX,  14-18.  Cursed  be  the 
day  wherein  1  was  born;  let  not 
the  (lay  wherein  my  mut.h«  r  hare 
me  be  blessed.  Cursed  be  the 
man  who  brought  tiaings  to  my 
father,  saying,  A  man-child  is 
born  unto  thee,  making  liim  very 
glad.  And  let  that  man  be  as 
the  cities  which  the  Lord  over- 
threw, and  repented  not;  and  let 
him  liear  the  cry  in  the  morning, 
and  the  shouting  at  noon-tide; 
LJecause  he  slew  mo  not  Irum  the 
womb;  or  that  my  mother  might 
liave  b'^en  my  grave,  and  iier 
womb  to  be  always  great  with 
me.  Wherefore  came  1  forth  out 
of  the  womb  to  see  labour  and 
sorrow,  that  my  days  should  be 
consumed  with  shame? 

Jonah  iv,  3,  8.  Therefore  now, 
0  Lord,  take,  I  beseech  thee,  my 
life  from  me;  for  it  is  better  for 
me  to  die  than  to  live.  And  it 
came  to  pass,  when  the  sun  did 
arise,  that  God  prepared  a  vehe- 
ment east  wind;  and  the  sun  heat 
upon  the  head  of  Jonah,  that  he 
fainted,  and  wished  in  himself  to 
die,  and  said.  It  is  better  for  me 
to  die  than  to  live. 

Rev.  ix,  6.  And  in  those  days 
shall  men  seek  death,  and  shall 
not  find  it;  and  shall  desire  to  die, 
aud  death  shall  flee  from  them. 

Peculiar  Instances. 
Gen.  xlvi,  30.    And  Israel  said 
unto  Joseph,    Now  let    me    die, 
since  I  have  seen  thy  face,  because 
thou  art  yet  alive. 

John  viii,  22.  Then  said  the 
Jews,  Will  he  kill  himself?  because 
he  saith,  Whither  I  go,  ye  cannot 
come. 

John  x\,  16.  Then  said  Thomas^ 
which  is  called  Didymus,  unto  hij» 
fellow-disciples.  Let  us  also  go, 
tliat  we  may  die  vrith  him. 


MAN. 


SUICIDE-VIRTUAL. 
Xuke  iv,  9.  And  he  brought  him 
to  Jerusalem,  and  set  him  on  a 
pinnacle  of  the  temple,  and  said 
unto  him,  If  thou  be  the  Son  of 
Goi,  cast  thyself  down  from 
hence. 

Acts  xvl,  27,  28.  And  the  keeper 
of  the  prison  awaking  out  of  his 
Bleep,  and  seeing  the  prison  doors 
open,  he  drew  out  his  sword,  and 
would  have  killed  himself,  sup- 
posing that  the  prisoners  had 
been  fled.  But.  Paul  cried  with  a 
loud  voice,  saying,  Do  thyself  no 
harm;  for  we  are  all  here. 

Instances  of  Suicide, 
Judges  xvi,  29,  30.  And  Samson 
took  hold  of  the  two  middle  pil- 
lars upon  whicli  the  house  stood, 
and  on  which  it  was  borne  up,  of 
the  one  with  his  right  hand,  and 
of  the  other  with  his  left.  And 
Samson  said,  Let  me  die  with  the 
Philistines.  And  he  bowed  him- 
self with  all  his  might;  and  the 
house  fell  upon  the  lords,  and 
upon  all  the  people  that  were 
therein:  so  the  dead  which  he 
el  w  at  his  death  were  more  than 
they  which  he  slew  in  his  lite. 

1  Sam.  xxxl,  4, 5.  Then  said  Saul 
unto  his  armour-bearer.  Draw  thy 
sword,  and  thrust  me  through 
therewith;  lest  these  uncircumcis- 
ed  come  and  thrust  me  througii, 
and  abuse  me.  But  his  armour- 
bearer  would  not;  for  he  was  sore 
afraid.  Therefore  Saul  took  a 
sword,  and  fell  up(m  it.  And 
when  his  armour-bearer  saw  that 
Saul  was  dead,  he  fell  likewise 
upon  his  sword,  and  died  with 
him. 

2  Sam.  xvli,  23.  And  when 
Ahithophel  saw  that  his  counsel 
was  not  followed,  he  saddled  his 
ass,  and  arose,  and  gat  him  home 
to  his  house,  to  his  city,  and  put 
his  household  in  order,  and  hang- 
ed himself,  and  died,  and  was 
buried  in  the  sepulchre  of  his 
father. 

1  Kings  xvi,  18, 19.  And  it  came 
to  pass,  when  Zlmri  saw  that  the 
city  was  taUeti, that  huwent  into  the 
palaceof  tlie  king'shouse.and  burnt 
the  king's  house  over  him  Mifh 
(Ire,  and  died.  For  his  sins  which 
he  sinned  In  doing  evil  In  the 
sight  of  the  Lord,  in  Avalking  in 
the  way  of  Jeroboam,  and  In  his 
gin  which  he  did,  to  make  Israel 
to  sin. 

Matth.  x.xvil,  3-5.  Then  Judas, 
which  had  betrayed  him,  when  he 
saw  that  he  was  condemned,  re- 
pented himself,  and  brought  again 
the  thirty  pieces  of  silver  to  the 
chief  priests  and  elders,  Saying,  1 
have  sinned.  In  that  I  have  be- 
trayed the  innocent  blood.  And 
they  bald,  What  is  that  to  us?  see 


thon  to  that.  And  he  cast  down 
the  pieces  of  silver  in  the  temple, 
and  departed,  and  went  and  hang- 
ed himself.

AND  DEATH,  Page  177.) 

THE  RESURRECTION  OP 
THE  DEAD. 

Job  xlx.  23  27.  Oh  that  my 
words  were  now  written !  oh  that 
they  were  printed  in  a  book! 
That  they  were  graven  with  an 
iron  pen  and  lead  in  the  rock  for 
ever!  For  1  know  that  my  Re- 
deemer liveth.  and  that  he  shall 
stand  at  the  latter  da?j  upon  the 
earth:  And  though  Si\U-r  my  skin 
worms  destroy  tliis  body,  yet  in 
my  flesh  sliall  I  see  God :  Whom 
I  shall  see  for  myself,  and  mine 
eyes  shall  behold,  and  not  ano- 
ther; though  my  reins  be  consumed 
within  me. 

Ps.  xlix,  15.  But  God  will  re- 
deem my  soul  from  the  power  of 
the  grave;  fur  he  shall  receive  me. 
Sel-ih. 

Isa  xxvl,  19.  Thy  dead  men 
shall  live,  together  toith  my  dead 
body  shall  shall  they  arise.  Awake 
and  sing,  ye  that  dwell  in  dust: 
for  thy  dew  is  as  the  dew  of  herbs, 
and  the  earth  shall  cast  out  the 
dead, 

Dan.  xll,  2.  And  many  of  them 
that  sleep  in  the  dust  of  the  earth 
sliall  awake,  some  to  everlasting 
life,  and  some  to  shame  and  ever- 
lasting contempt. 

Hos.  xiii,  14.  I  will  ransom  them 
from  the  power  of  the  grave;  I 
will  redeem  them  from  death :  O 
death,  I  will  be  thy  plagues;  O 
grave,  I  will  be  thy  destruction : 
repentance  shall  be  hid  from  mine 
eyes. 

John  V,  28,  29.  Marvel  not  at 
this:  fur  the  hour  is  coming,  in  the 
which  all  that  are  in  the  graves 
shall  hear  his  voice.  And  shall 
come  forth;  they  that  have  dune 
good,  unto  the  resurrection  of 
lite;  and  they  that  have  done 
evil,  unto  the  resurrection  of 
damnation. 

Jofin  vi,  39.  And  this  is  the 
Father's  will  which  hath  sent  me, 
that  of  all  which  he  hath  given 
me  I  should  lose  nothing,  but 
should  raise  it  up  again  at  the  last 
day. 

John  xi,23,24.  Jesus  saith  unto 
her,  Thy  brother  shall  rise  again. 
Martha  saith  unto  him,  I  know 
that  he  shall  rise  again  in  the  re- 
surrection at  the  last  day. 

Acts  xxiv,  15,  21.  And  have 
hope  toward  God,  which  they 
themselves  also  allow,  tiiat  there 
shall  be  a  resurrection  of  the 
dead,  both  of  tlie  just  and  unjust. 
Except  it  be  for  this  one  voice.

tliaf  T  cried  standing  among  them, 
Toucliiug  the  resurrection  of  tho 
dead  I  am  called  in  question  by 
you  this  day. 

Acts  xxvi,  6-8.  And  now  I  stand 
and  am  judged  for  the  hope  of 
the  promise  made  of  God  unto 
our  fatliers:  Unto  which  promise 
our  twelve  tribes,  instantly  serv- 
ing God  day  and  uigtit,  hope  to 
come:  for  which  hope's  sake, 
king  Agrippa,  I  am  accused  of  the 
Ji  ws.  Why  should  it  be  thought 
a  thing  incredible  with  you,  that 
God  should  raise  the  dead? 

Ileb.  xi,  19,  3.5.  Accounting  that 
God  ivas  able  to  raise  him  up, 
even  from  the  dead;  Irom  whence 
also  he  received  him  in  a  figure. 
Women  received  their  dead  raised 
to  lite  again:  and  others  were 
tortured,  not  accepting  deliver- 
ance; that  they  might  obtain  a 
better  resurrection. 

1  Thess.  iv,  15, 16.  For  th's  we 
say  unto  you  by  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  that  we  wliich  are  alive  and 
remain  unto  the  coming  of  the 
Lord,  shall  not  prevent  them 
which  are  asleep.  For  the  Lord 
himself  shall  descend  from  heaven 
with  a  shout,  with  the  voice  of 
the  archangel,  and  with  the  trump 
of  God;  and  the  dead  in  Christ 
sliali  rise  first. 

Proofs. 

SfarJc  xii,  26,  27.  And  as  tonch- 
ing  the  dead,  that  they  rise;  have 
ye  not  read  in  the  booli.  of  Moses, 
how  in  the  bush  God  spake  unto 
him,  saying,  I  am  the  God  of 
Abraham,  and  the  God  of  Isaac, 
and  the  God  of  Jacob?  He  is  not 
tlie  God  of  the  dead,  but  the  God 
of  the  living:  ye  therefore  do 
greatly  err. 

LtiJce  XX,  37,  38.  Now,  that  the 
dead  are  raised,  even  Moses 
shewed  at  the  bush,  when  he 
calleth  the  Lord  the  God  of 
Abraham,  and  the  God  of  Isaac, 
and  the  God  of  Jacob.  For  he  is 
not  a  God  of  the  dead,  but  of  the 
living:  for  all  live  unto  him. 

Jiom.  vi,  5.  For  if  we  have  been 
planted  together  in  the  likeness 
of  his  death,  we  shall  be  also  in 
the  likeness  of /tis  resurrection. 

1  Cor.  XV,  13-23,  49,  50.  But  if 
there  be  no  resurrection  of  the 
dead,  tiien  is  Christ  not  risen.  And 
if  Christ  be  not  risen,  then  is  our 
preaching  vain,  and  your  faith  is 
also  vain.  Yea,  and  we  are  found 
false  witnesses  of  God;  becau.se 
we  have  testified  of  God  that  he 
raised  up  Christ:  wliom  he  raised 
not  up,  if  so  be  that  the  dead  rise 
not.  For  if  the  dead  rise  not, 
then  is  not  Christ  raised;  And  if 
Christ  be  not  raised,  your  faith  is 
vain;  ye  are  yet  in  your  sins. 
Then  they  also  which  are  fallen 
asleep  in  Christ  are  perished.  If  in 


this  life  onlywe  have  hopeln  Christ, 
we  are  ot  ail  men  most  misera- 
ble. But  now  IsClirlst  risen  from 
tlie  dead,  and  become  tlie  flrst- 
fiuits  of  tliem  tliat  slept.  For 
fiiuce  by  man  came  death,  by  man 
canie  also  the  resurrection  of  the 
dead.  For  as  in  Adam  all  die, 
even  so  in  Clirist  shall  ail  be  made 
alive.  But  every  man  in.  his  own 
order:  Christ  the  first- fruils; 
afterward  they  tbat  are  Christ's 
at  his  coniin*.  And  as  we  have 
borne  the  image  of  the  earihy,  we 
shall  also  bear  the  image  of  the 
heavenly.  Now  this  I  say,  breth- 
ren, that  flesh  and  blood  cannot 
Inherit  the  kingdom  of  God; 
neither  doth  corruption  iutierit 
Incorruption. 

Mode  and  Result. 
LuJce  XX,  33-36.  Therefore  In 
the  resurrection  whose  Wife  of 
them  is  she?  for  seven  had  her  to 
wife.  And  Jesus  answering,  said 
unto  them,  The  childreu  of  this 
world  marry,  and  are  given  in 
marriage:  But  they  which  shall 
be  accounted  worthy  to  obtain 
that  world,  and  the  resurrection 
from  the  dead,  neither  marry,  nor 
are  given  in  marriage:  Neither 
can  they  die  any  more:  for  they 
are  equal  unto  the  angels;  and  are 
the  cliildren  of  God,  being  the 
Children  ol  the  resurrection. 

JoJin  V,  25.  Verily,  verily,  I  sky 
unto  you.  The  hour  is  coming,  and 
now  is,  when  the  dead  shall  hear 
the  voice  of  the  Son  of  God:  and 
they  that  hear  shall  live. 

1  Cor.  xvi,  42-48, 51-56.  So  also 
is  the  resurrection  ot  the  dead:  it 
is  sown  in  corruption,  it  is  raised 
in  iiicorrupiion:  It  is  sown  in 
dishonour,  it  is  raised  in  glory:  it 
is  sown  in  weakness,  it  la  raised 
in  power:  It  is  sown  a  natural 
body,  it  is  raised  a  spiritual  body. 
There  is  a  natural  body,  and  there 
is  a  spiritual  body.  And  so  it  is 
written.  The  first  man  Adam  was 
made  a  l.ving  soul,  the  last  Adam 
was  made  a  quickening  spirit, 
liowbeit  that  icas  not  first  winch 
is  spiritual,  but  that  which  is 
natural;  and  afterward  that  whieh 
is  spiritual.  The  first  man  is  ot 
the  earth,  earthy;  the  second  man 
is  the  J.ord  from  heaven.  As  is 
the  earthly,  such  are  they  also 
that  are  eartliy:  and  as  is  the 
heavenly,  such  are  tliey  also  that 
are  iieavenly.  Behold,  I  shew 
yuu  a  mystery;  We  shaU  not  all 
sleep,  but  we  shall  all  be  changed. 
In  a  moment,  in  the  twinkling  of 
an  eye,  at  the  last  trump;  (tor  the 
trumpet  shall  soumi;)  and  the  dead 
shall  be  raised  incorruptible,  and 
we  shall  be  changed.  For  this 
corruptible  must  put  on  incor- 
ruption, and  this  mortal  7nust  put 
on  imm>rtality.  So  when  this 
corruptible  shall  have  put  on  iu- 


MAN, 

corruption,  and  this  mortal  shall 
have  put  on  immortality,  then 
shall  be  brought  to  pass  the  say- 
ing that  is  written,  Death  is  swal- 
lowed up  in  victory,  O  death, 
where  is  thy  sting?  O  grave, 
where  is  thy  victory?  The  sting 
of  death  is  sin;  and  the  strength 
of  sin  is  the  law. 

Phil,  ill,  11,  21.  If  by  any  means 
I  might  attain  unto  the  resurrec- 
tion of  the  dead.  Who  shall 
change  our  vile  body,  that  it  may 
be  fashioned  like  unto  his  glorious 
body,  according  to  the  working 
whereby  he  is  able  even  to  subdue 
all  things  unto  himself. 

1  TAm.iv,  13, 14,  17,18.  Iklt  I 
would  not  have  you  to  be  igno- 
rant, brethren,  concerning  them 
which  are  asleep,  that  ye  sorrow 
not,  even  as  others  wluch  have  no 
liope.  For  if  we  believe  that 
Jesus  died,  and  rose  again,  even 
so  them  also  which  sleep  in  Jesus 
will  God  bring  with  him.  Then 
we  which  are  alive  and  remain 
shall  be  caught  up  together  with 
them  in  the  clouds,  to  meet  the 
Lord  in  the  air:  and  so  shall  we 
ever  be  with  the  Lord,  Where- 
fore comfort  one  another  with 
these  words. 

AtLTTSrOlTS,  ETC. 

EzeTe.  xxxvii,  l,  7-14,  The  hand 
of  the  Lord  was  upon  me,  and 
carried  me  out  in  the  spirit  of  the 
LoBD,  and  set  me  down  in  the 
midst  of  the  valley  which  was  full 
of  bones.  So  I  prophesied  as  I  was 
commanded:  and  as  1  prophesied, 
there  was  a  noise,  and  behold  a 
shaking,  and  the  bones  came  to- 
gether, bone  to  his  bone.  And 
when  1  beheld,  lo,  the  sinews  and 
the  flesh  came  up  upon  them,  and 
the  skin  covered  them  above:  but 
there  was  no  breath  in  them. 
Then  said  he  unto  me.  Prophesy 
unto  the  wind,  prophesy,  son  of 
man,  and  say  to  the  wind.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God;  come  from 
the  four  winds,  O  breath,  and 
breathe  upon  these  slain,  that 
they  may  live.  So  I  prophesied 
as  he  commanded  me,  and  the 
breath  came  into  them,  and  they 
lived,  and  stood  up  upon  their 
feet,  an  exceeding  great  army. 
Then  he  said  unto  me,  Son  of 
man,  these  bones  are  the  whole 
house  of  Israeh  behold,  they  say. 
Our  bones  are  dried,  and  our 
hope  is  lost:  we  are  cut  off  for  our 
parts.  Theretore  prophesy  and 
say  unto  them, Thus  saiih  the  Lord 
God,  Behold,  O  my  people,  I  will 
open  your  graves,  and  cause  you 
to  come  up  out  of  your  graves. 
and  bring  you  into  the  land  of 
Israel:  And  ye  shall  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord,  when  1  have  opened 
your  graves,  O  my  people,  and 
b  ought  you  up  out  id'  your 
Slaves,  And  shall  put  my  Spirit 
417 


In  yon,  and  ye  shall  live;  ond  I 
siiall  place  you  in  your  uwu  land: 
then  shall  ye  know  that  I  the 
Lord  have  spoUen  it,  and  per- 
formed it,  saith  the  Lobu. 

Matth.  xxvii,  52,  53.  And  the 
graves  were  opened;  and  many 
bodies  of  the  saints  which  slept 
arose.  And  came  out  ol  the  graves 
after  his  resurrecii<m,  and  went 
into  the  holy  city,  and  appeared 
unto  many. 

John  xii,  9.  Much  people  of  tho 
Jews  therefore  knew  that  he  was 
there:  and  they  came  not  for 
Jesus'  sake  only,  but  that  they 
migiit  see  Lazarus  ul>o,  whom 
he  had  raised  from  the  dead. 

Horn.  Tiil,  19-23.  For  I  he  earnest 
expectation  of  the  creature  wait- 
eth  for  the  maiuiestaiion  of  the 
sons  of  God.  For  the  creature 
was  made  subject  to  vanity,  not 
willingly,  but  by  reason  of  him 
who  hath  subjected  the  same  In 
hope;  Because  the  creature  itself 
also  shall  be  delivered  from  the 
bondage  of  corruption  into  the 
glorious  liberty  of  the  children  of 
God,  For  we  know  tliat  the 
whole  creation  groaneth  and  tra- 
vailethinpaiu  together  until  now: 
And  not  only  they,  but  ourselves 
also,  which  have  the  first-truits  of 
the  Spirit,  even  we  ourselves 
groan  within  ourselves,  waiting 
lor  the  adoption,  to  wit,  the  re- 
demption of  our  body. 

Objections  and  thbib 
Refutation. 

3Tatth.xx\i  23-33.  The  same  day 
came  to  him  the  Sadducees, 
which  say  that  there  is  no  resur- 
rection, and  asked  him.  Saying, 
Master,  Moses  said.  If  a  man  die, 
having  no  children,  his  brother 
shall  marry  his  wife,  and  raise  up 
seed  unto  his  brother.  Now 
there  were  with  us  seven  breth- 
ren: and  the  first,  when  he  had 
married  a  wife,  deceased,  and, 
having  no  issue,  lelt  his  wife  unto 
his  brother:  Likewise  the  second 
also,  and  the  third,  unto  the 
seventh.  And  last  of  all  tho 
woman  died  also.  Therefore,  in 
the  resurrection,  whose  wife 
shall  she  be  of  the  seven? 
for  they  all  had  her,  Jesus  an- 
swered and  said  unto  them.  Ye  do 
en*,  not  knowing  the  scriptures, 
nor  the  power  of  God.  For  in  the 
resurrection  they  neither  marry 
nor  are  given  in  marriage,  but 
are  as  the  angels  of  God  ia 
heaven.  But  as  touching  the 
resurrection  of  tiie  dead,  have 
ye  not  read  that  which  was 
spoken  unto  you  by  God,  say- 
ing, 1  am  the  God  of  Abraham, 
and  the  God  ot  Isaac,  and  the  God 
of  Jacob?  God  is  not  the  God  of 
the  dead,  but  of  tho  living.  And 
when  the  multitude  heard  this,

MAN. 


they  were  astonished  at  his  doc- 
trine. 

Lxike  XX,  27.  TliftTi  came  to  Mm 
certain  of  tlie  Sadduceos,  whicli 
deny  that  there  is  auy  resurrec- 
tion. 

Acts  xvii,  32.  And  when  they 
heard  of  the  resurrection  of  the 
dead,  some  moclied;  and  others 
Baid,  We  will  hear  thee  again  of 
this  matter. 

Acts  xxiii,  6-8.  But  whon  Paul 
perceived  tliat.  tlie  one  part  were 
Sadducees,  and  the  oMier  Phari- 
sees, lie  cried  out  in  the  council, 
Men  and  bretiiren,  I  am  a  Pliarisee, 
the  son  of  a  I'liarisee:  of  the  liope 
and  resuriectioii  of  tlie  dead  I  am 
called  in  qut.-stion.  And  when  he 
had  80  said,  tliere  arose  a  dissen- 
sion between  tlie  Pliarisees  and 
the  Sadducees:  and  the  multitude 
was  divided.  For  the  Sadducees 
say  that  there  is  no  resurrection, 
neither  angel,  nor  spirit;  but  the 
Pharisees  confess  both. 

1  (7or.  XV,  12,  35-38.  Now,  if 
Christ  be  preached  that  he  rose 
from  the  dead,  how  say  some 
among  you  that  there  is  no  resur- 
rection of  the  dead?  But  some 
man  will  say,  How  are  tlie  dead 
raised  up?  and  wiih  what  body  do 
they  cume?  Tkou  fool,  that  which 
thou  sowest  is  not  quickened, 
except  it  die.  And  that  which 
thou  sowest,  thou  sowest  not  that 
body  that  shall  be,  but  bare  grain, 
it  may  chance  of  wheat,  or  of  some 
other  grain:  But  God  giveth  it  a 
body  as  it  hath  pleased  him,  and 
to  every  seed  his  own  body. 

2  Tim.  ii,l8.  Who  concerning  tlie 
truth  have  erred,  saying  that  the 
resurrection  is  past  already;  and 
overthrow  the  taith  of  some. 

THE  JUDGMENT. 

Eccles.  iii,  17.  I  said  in  mine 
heart,  God  shall  judge  the  right- 
eous and  the  wicked:  for  there  is 
a  time  there  for  every  purpose, 
and  for  every  work. 

Eccles.  xii,  14.  For  God  shall 
bring  every  work  into  judgment, 
with  every  secret  thing,  whether 
it  be  good,  or  whether  it  be  evil. 

Matth.  xix,  28.  And  Jesus  said 
unto  them  Verily  I  say  unto  you, 
That  ye  which  have  followed  me 
In  the  regeneration,  when  the  Son 
of  man  sh  dl  sit  in  the  throne  of  his 
gloi-y,  ye  also  shall  sit  upon  twelve 
thrones,  judging  the  twelve  tribes 
of  Israel. 

Matth.  XXV,  81-33.  When  the 
Son  of  man  shall  come  in  his 
glory,  and  all  the  holy  angels  with 
him,  then  shall  he  sit  upon  the 
throne  of  his  glory:  And  belbre 
him,  shall  be  gathered  all  nations; 
and  he  shall  separate  them  one 
«from  another,  as  a  shepherd  dlvi- 
deth  A/s  sheep  from  the  goals:  And 


lie  shall  set  the  sheep  on  his  right 
hand,  but  the  goats  on  the  left. 

Luke  X,  14,  But  it  shall  be  more 
tolerable  for  Tyre  and  Sidoa  at 
the  judgment,  than  for  you. 

Acts  xvli,  31.  Because  he  hath 
appointed  a  day,  in  the  which  he 
will  ju  !ge  the  world  in  righteous- 
ness by  tJiat  man  whom  he  hath 
ordained;  whereof  he  hath  given 
assurance  unto  all  men,  in  that  he 
hath  raised  him  from  the  dead. 

Bom.  ii,  3,  6.  And  tliinkest  thou 
this,  O  man,  that  judgest  them 
which  do  such  things,  and  doest 
the  same,  that  thou  shalt  escape 
the  judgment  of  God.  Who  will 
render  to  every  man  according  to 
his  deeds. 

Som.  xiv,  11, 12.  For  It  Is  writ- 
ten, As  I  live,  saith  the  Lord, 
every  knee  shall  bow  to  me,  and 
every  tongue  shall  confess  to  God. 
So  then  every  one  of  us  shall  give 
account  of  himself  to  God. 

2  Qor.  V,  10.  For  we  must  all  ap- 
pear before  the  judgment-seat  of 
Christ;  that  every  one  may  receive 
the  things  done  in  his  body,  ac- 
cording to  that  he  hath  done, 
whether  it  be  good  or  bad. 

Eph.  vi,  8.  Knowing  that  what- 
soever good  tiling  any  man  doeth, 
the  same  shall  ho  receive  of  the 
Lord,  whether  he  be  bond  or  free. 

Phil,  iv,  5.  Let  your  modera- 
ion  be  known  unto  all  men.  The 
Lord  is  at  hand. 

(Jol.  iii,  25.  But  he  that  doeth 
wrong  shall  receive  for  the  wrong 
which  he  hath  done:  and  there  is 
no  respect  of  persons. 

1  Thess.y,  1-4.  But  of  the  times 
and  the  seasons,  brethren,  ye  have 
no  need  that  I  write  unto  you. 
For  yourselves  know  perfectly, 
that  the  day  of  the  Lord  so  Com- 
eth as  a  thief  in  the  night.  For 
when  they  shall  say.  Peace  and 
safety,  then  sudden  destruction 
Cometh  upon  them,  as  travail 
upon  a  woman  with  child;  and 
they  shall  not  escape.  But  ye, 
brethren,  are  not  in  darkness,  that 
that  day  should  overtake  you  as 
a  thief. 

2  Thess.  11,1,2.  Now  we  beseech 
you,  brethren,  by  the  coming  of 
our  Lord  Jesus  Clirist,  and  bp  our 
gathering  together  unto  him, 
That  ye  be  not  soon  shaken  in 
mind,  or  be  troubled,  neither  by 
spirit,  nor  hy  word,  nor  by  letter 
as  from  us,  as  that  the  day  of 
Christ  is  at  hand. 

Heb.  ix,  27.  And  as  it  is  ap- 
pointed unto  men  once  to  die,  but 
after  this  the  judgment. 

1'  Pet.  iv,  5.  Who  shall  give 
account  to  him  that  is  ready  to 
judge  the  quick  and  the  dead. 

Jude  14, 15.  And  Enoch  also, 
the  seveui.h  from  Adam,  prophe- 
sied of  these,  saying,  Behold,  the 
418 


Lord  Cometh  with,  fen  thousand 
of  hissaiiits,  To  execute  judgment 
upon  all,  and  to  convince  all  that 
are  ungodly  among  them  ot  all 
their  ungodly  deeds  which  they 
have  ungodly  committed,  and  of 
all  their  hard  speeches  which 
ungodly  sinners  have  spoken 
against  him. 

Bev.  xi,  18.  And  the  nations 
were  angry,  and  thy  wraih  is 
come,  an  I  the  time  ot  the  dead, 
that  they  should  he  judged,  nmd 
that  thou  shouldest  give  reward 
unto  thy  servants  the  proplK  ts, 
and.  to  the  saints,  and  them  that 
fear  thy  name,  small  and  great; 
and  shouldest  destroy  them  which 
destroy  the  earth. 

Pev.  XX,  12.  And  I  snw  the  dead, 
small  and  great,  stand  before  God: 
and  the  books  were  opened;  and 
another  book  was  opened,  \>hich 
is  the  book  of  life:  and  the  dead 
were  judged  out  of  those  things 
which  were  written  in  the  books, 
according  to  their  works.

Isa.  xxiv,  19,  20.  The  earth  is 
utterly  broken  down,  the  earth  is 
clean  dissolved,  the  earth  is 
moved  exceedin.i,'ly.  The  earth 
shall  reel  to  and  tro  like  a  drunk-

wonda  s  in  the  heavens  and  in 
the  earth,  blood,  and  Are,  and 
pillars  of  smoke.  The  sun  shall 
be  turned  into  darkness,  and  the 
moon  into  blood,  before  the  great 
and  the  terrible  day  of  the  Loao 
come. 

Joel  iii,  1,  2, 11, 12, 14.  For,  he- 
hold,  in  those  days,  and  in  that 
time,  when  I  shall  bring  again 
the  captivity  of  Judoh  and  Jeru- 
salem. I  will  also  gather  all  na- 
tions, and  will  bring  them  down 
into  the  valley  of  Jehoshaphat, 
and  will  plead  with  them  there 
for  my  people  and /or  my  heritage 
Israel,  whom  they  have  scattered 
among  the  nations,  and  parted 
my  land.  Assemble  yourselves, 
and  come,  all  ye  heathen,  and 
gather  yourselves  together  round 
about:  thither  cause  thy  mighty 
ones  to  come  down,  O  Loud.  Let 
the  heathen  be  wakened,  and 
come  up  to  the  valley  of  Jeho- 
shaphat: for  there  will  I  sit  to 
judge  all  the  heathen  round

after  the  tribulation  of  those  days 
Bliall  the  sun  Le  darkened,  and  the 
moon  shall  not  give  her  light,  and 
the  stais  shall  fall  from  heaven,

Luke  xxi.  25-28.  And  there  s^all 
be  Bi>:n3  in  the  sun,  and  in  the

perplexity;  tlie  sea  and  the  waves 
roaring;  Mtn's  hearts  failing  them 
for  fear,  and  for  looking  after 
those  things  which  are  coming  on 
the  eartii:  for  the  powers  ot 
heaven  shall  be  shaken.  And 
then  shall  they  see  the  Son  of  man

ami  great  glory.  And  when  the^-e

as  of  things  that  are  made,  that 
those  things  which  cannot  be 
Shaken  may  remain. 

2  Peter  iii,  7,  10-12.  But  the 
heavens  and  the  earth,  which  are 
now,  by  the  same  word  are  kept 
in  store,  reserved  unto  fire  against

of  ungodly  men.  But  the  day  of 
the  Lord  will  come  as  a  thief  in 
the  night;  in  the  which  the 
heavens  shall  pass  away  with  a 
great  noise,  and  the  elements 
shall  melt  with  fervent  heat,  the 
earlh  also  and  the  works  that  are 
therein  shall  be  buri^ed  up.  See-

moon  became  as  blood;  And  the 
stars  of  heaven  fell  unto  the  earth, 
even  as  a  fii?  tree  casteth  her  un- 
timely figs,  when  she  is  shaken  of

of  their  places.

Bom.  xiii,  11.  And  that,  know- 
ing the  time,  that  now  it  is  high 
time  to  awake  out  of  sleep:  lor 
now  is  our  salvation  nearer  than 
when  we  believed. 

Eeb.  vi,  9.  But,  beloved,  we  are 
persuaded  better  things  of  you. 
and  things  that  accompany  sal- 
vation, though  we  thus  speak. 

1  Peter  i,  9.  Receiving  the  end 
of  your  faith,  even  the  salvation

Of  Happiness  and  Globt. 

Ps.  xvl,  11.  Thou  wilt  shew  me 
the  path  of  life:  in  thy  presence 
is  fulness  of  joy;  at  thy  right  hand 
there  are  pleasures  for  evermore. 

Ps.  xxxvi,  8,  9.  They  shall  be 
abundantly  satisfied  with  the  fat- 
ness of  thy  house;  and  thou  shalt 
make  them  drink  of  the  river  of 
thy  pleasures.  For  with  thee 
is  the  fountain  of  life:  in  thy  light 
shall  we  see  light. 

Ps.  Ixxiii,  24.  Thou  shalt  guide 
me  with  thy  counsel,  and  after- 
ward receive  me  to  glory. 

Isa.  XXXV,  10.  And  the  ransomed 
of  the  Loud  shall  return,  and  come 
to  Zion  with  songs,  and  everlast- 
ing joy  upon  their  heads:  they 
shall  obtain  joy  and  gladness,  and 
sorrow  and  sighing  shall  flee 
away. 

Isa.  II,  11.  Therefore  the  re- 
deemed of  the  Lord  shall  return, 
and  come  with  singing  unto  Zion; 
and  everlasting  joy  shall  be  upon 
their  head:  they  shall  obtain  glad- 
ness and  joy;  and  sorrow  and 
mourning  shall  flee  away. 

Isa.  Ixiv,  4,  5.  For  since  the  be- 
ginning of  the  world  men  have 
not  heard,  nor  perceived  by  the 
ear,  neither  hath  the  eye  seen,  O 
God,  beside  thee,  lohat  he  hath 
prepared  for  him  that  waiteth  for 
hhn.  Thou  meetest  him  that  re- 
joiceth  and  worketh  righteous- 
ness; those  that  remember  thee  in 
th/  ways:  behold,  thou  art  wroth;

hunger  now:  for  ye  shall  be  filled. 
Blessed  are  ye  that  weep  now:  for 
ye  shall  laugh. 

1  Gor.  ii,  9.  But  as  it  Is  written. 
Eye  hath  not  seen,  nor  ear  heard, 
neither  have  entered  into  the 
heart  of  man,  the  things  which 
God  hath  prepared  for  them  that 
love  him. 

2  Tim.  iv,  8.  Henceforth  there  is 
laid  up  for  me  a  crown  of  right- 
eousness, which  the  Lord,  the 
righteous  judge,  shall  give  me  at 
that  day:  and  not  to  me  only,  but 
unto  all  them  also  that  love  his 
appearing. 

Heb.  Iv,  9-11.  There  remaineth 
therefore  a  rest  to  the  people  of 
God.  For  he  that  is  entered  into 
his  rest,  he  also  hath  ceased  from 
his  own  works,  as  God  did  from 
his.  Let  us  labour  therefore  to 
enter  into  that  rest,  lest  any  man 
fall  after  the  same  example  of 
unbelief. 

Eev.  xxii,  3.  And  there  shall  be

God  and  of  the  Lamb  shall  be 
in  it:  and  his  servants  shall  serve 
him.

Isa.  XXV,  8.  He  will  swallow  up 
death  in  victory;  and  the  Lord 
God  will  wipe  away  tears  from  off 
all  faces;  and  the  rebuke  of  his 
people  shall  he  take  away  from 
off  all  the  earth:  for  the  Loan  hath 
spoken  it. 

Isa.  xlv,  17.  But  Israel  shall  be 
saved  in  the  Lord  with  an  ever- 
lasting salvation:  ye  shall  not  be 
ashamed  nor  confounded  world 
without  end. 

Matth.  xix,  29,  30.  And  every 
one  that  hath  forsaken  houses,  or 
brethren,  or  sisters,  or  lather,  or 
mother,  or  wife,  or  children,  or 
lands,  for  my  name's  sake,  shall 
receive  an  hundred-fold,  and  shall

saw  a  new  heaven  and  a  new 
earth:  for  the  first  heaven  and  the

a  wall  great  and  high,  and  had 
twelve  gates,  and  at  the  gates 
twelve  angels,  and  names  written 
tliereon,  which  are  the  names  of 
the  twelve  tribes  of  the  children 
of  Israel.  On  tli«  east,  three  gates; 
on  the  north,  three  gates;  on  the 
south,  three  gates;  and  on  the 
west,  three  gates.  And  the  wall

of  the  city  had  twelve  fotindattong, 
and  in  them  the  names  of  the 
twelve  apostles  of  the  Lamb.  And 
he  that  talked  with  me  had  a 
golden  reed  to  measure  the  city, 
and  the  gates  thereof,  and  the 
wall  thereof.  And  the  city  lieth 
four-square,  and  the  length  is  as 
large  as  the  breadth.  And  ho 
measured  the  city  with  the  reed, 
twelve  thousand  furlongs.  The 
length,  and  the  breadth,  and  the 
height  of  it  are  equal.  And  he 
measured  the  wall  thereof,  an 
hundred  and  forty  and  four  cubits, 
according  to  the  measure  of  a 
man,  that  is,  of  the  angel.  And 
the  building  of  the  wall  of  it  was 
of  jasper;  and  the  city  was  pure 
gold,  like  unto  clear  glass.  And 
the  foundations  of  the  wall  of  the 
city  were  garnished  with  all  man- 
ner of  precious  stones.  The  first 
foundation  loas  jasper ;  the  second, 
sapphire;  the  third,  a  chalcedony;

pearls;  every  several  gate  was  of 
one  pearl:  and  the  street  of  the 
city  was  pure  gold,  as  it  were 
transparent  glass.  And  the  na- 
tions of  them  which  are  saved 
shall  walk  in  the  light  of  it;  and 
the  kings  of  the  earth  do  bring 
their  glory  and  honour  into  it. 
And  tlie  gates  of  it  shall  not  be 
shut  at  all  by  day:  for  there  shall 
be  no  night  there.  And  they  shall 
bring  the  glory  and  honour  of  the 
nations  into  it.  And  there  shall 
in  no  wise  enter  into  it  any  thing 
that  deflleth,  neither  tchatsoever 
worketh  abomination,  or  maketh 
a  lie;  but  they  which  are  written 
in  the  Lamb's  book  of  life.

hell,  into  the  fire  that  never  shall 
be  quenched ;  Where  their  worm 
dieth  not,  and  the  fire  is  not 
quenched.  And  if  thy  foot  offend 
thee,  cut  it  off:  it  is  better  for  thee 
to  enter  halt  into  life,  than  having 
two  feet  to  be  cast  into  hell,  into 
the  fire  that  never  shall  be 
quenched;  Where  their  worm 
dieth  not,  and  the  fire  is  not 
quenched.  And  if  thine  eye  of- 
fend thee,  pluck  it  out:  it  is  better 
for  thee  to  enter  into  the  kingdom 
of  God  with  one  eye,  than  having 
two  eyes  to  be  cast  into  hell-fire; 
Where  their  worm  dieth  not,  and

Jonah  l\,  2.  And  said,  I  crierl  by 
reason  of  mine  affliction  unto  the 
Lord,  and  he  heard  me;  out  ot  the 
belly  of  hell  cried  1,  and  thou 
heardest  my  voice. 

liev,  vi,  7,  8.  And  when  he  had 
opened  the  fourth  seal,  I  heard 
the  voice  of  the  fourth  beast  say, 
Come  and  see.  And  I  looked, 
and  behold  a  pale  horse:  and  his 
name  that  sat  on  him  was  Death, 
and  hell  followed  with  him  :  and 
power  was  given  unto  them  over 
the  fourth  part  of  the  earth,  to 
kill  with  sword, and  with  hunger, 
and  with  death,  and  with  the 
beasts  of  the  earth. 

Bev.  XX,  13-15.  And  the  sea  gave 
up  ilie  dead  which  were  in  it;  and 
death  and  hell  delivir^id  up  the 
dead  which  were  in  them :  and 
they  were  judged  every  man

Gen.  H,  21-23.  And  the  Lord 
Goil  caused  a  deop  sleep  to  fill 
upon  Adam,  and  he  slept:  and  he 
took  one  of  his  rihs.and  dosed  np 
the  flesh  instead  thereof;  And  the 
rib,  which  the  Lord  God  had 
taken  from  mnn,  made  he  a  wo- 
man, and  brought  her  unto  the 
man.  And  Adam  said,  This  is 
now  bone  of  my  bones,  and  flesh 
of  my  flesh :  slie  shall  be  called 
Woman,  because  she  was  taken 
out  of  man. 

Gen.  V,  2.  Male  and  female  cre-

and  called  their  name  Adam,  in 
the  day  when  they  were  created.

and  said  unto  th^m.  Have  ye  not 
read,  that  he  which  made  them  at 
the  beginning,  made  them  male

God  saw  the  daughters  of  men 
that  they  were  fair;  and  they 
took  them  wives  of  all  which  they 
chose. 

Gen.  xii,  11-15.  And  It  enme  to 
pass,  when  he  was  come  near  to 
enter  into  Egj-pt,  that  he  said 
unto  Saral  h:s  wife,  Behold  now, 
I  know  that  thou  art  a  fair 
woman  to  look  upon:  Tiierefore 
it  shall  come  to  pass,  when  the 
Egyptians  shall  see  thee,  that 
they  shall  say,  This  is  his  wife; 
and  they  will  kill  me,  but  they 
will  save  thee  alive.  Say,  I  pray 
thee,  thou  art  my  sister:  that  it 
may  be  well  with  me  for  thy  sake; 
and  my  soul  shall  live  because  of 
thee.  And  it  came  to  pass,  that, 
when  Abram  was  come  into 
Egypt,  the  Egyptians  beheld  the 
woman,  that  she  was  very  fair. 
The  princes  also  of  Pharaoh  saw

Ph.iraoh:  and  the  woman  was 
taken  into  Pharaoh's  house.

that  he  had  In  Joseph's  hand;  and 
he  knew  not  ought  he  had,  save 
the  bread  which  he  did  eat.  And 
.Joseph  was  a  goodly  person,  and 
well-tavoured. 

Exod.  ii,  2.  And  the  woman 
conceived,  and  bare  a  son:  and 
when  she  saw  him  that  he  was  a 
goodly  child,  she  hid  him  three 
months, 

1  Sam.  ix,  2.  And  he  had  a  son. 
whose  name  vxts  Saul,  a  choice 
young  man,  and  a  goodly;  and 
there  was  not  among  the  children 
of  Israel  a  goodlier  person  than 
lie:  from  his  shoulders  and  up- 
ward he  teas  higher  than  any  of 
the  people. 

1  Sam.  XXV,  3.  Now  the  name 
of  the  man  was  Nabal.  and  the 
name  of  his  wife  Abigail;  and  she

ance :  but  the  man  loas  churlish, 
and  evil  in  his  doings;  and  be  was

pass  in  an  even  -  tide,  that  David 
arose  from  off  his  bed,  and  walked 
upon  the  roof  of  the  king's  house: 
and  from  the  roof  he  saw  a  woman 
washing  herself;  and  the  woman 
teas  very  beautiful  to  look 
upon. 

2  Sam.  xiv,  25, 27.  But  In  all  Israel 
there  was  none  to  be  so  mucli 
praised  as  Absaloni  for  his  beauty: 
from  the  sole  of  his  foot  even  to 
the  crown  of  his  head  there  was 
no  blemish  in  him.  And  unto  Absa- 
lom there  were  born  three  sons, 
and  one  daughter,  whose  name 
loas  Tamar:  slie  was  a  woman  of 
a  fair  countenance. 

1  Sam.  xvii,  42.  And  when  the 
Philistine  looked  about,  and  saw

1  Kings  I,  6.  And  his  father  had

after  Absalom. 

Esther  ii,  7, 15.  And  he  brought 
up  Hadassah,  (that  is,  Esther,)  his 
uncle's  daughter:  for  she  had  nei- 
ther father  nor  mother,  and  the 
maid  was  fair  and  beautiful;  whom 
Mordecai  (when  her  father  a?i(l 
mother  were  dead)  took  for  his 
owa  daughter.  Now,  wlieu  tke

turn  of  Esther,  the  daughter  of 
Al>ihail,  the  uncle  of  Mordecat, 
(who  had  taken  her  for  his  daugh- 
ter,) was  come  to  go  in  unto  the 
king,  she  required  notliing  but 
what  llegai  tlie  king's  chamber- 
lain, the  keeper  of  the  women, 
appointed:  and  Esther  obtained 
favour  in  the  sight  of  all  them 
that  looked  upon  her. 

Job  xlii,  13-15.  He  had  also 
seven  sons  and  three  daughters.

first,  Jemima,  and  the  name  of  the 
second.  Kezia,  and  the  name  of 
the  tiiird,  Keren-happuch.  And 
in  all  the  land  were  no  women 
found  so  fair  as  the  daughters  of 
Job:  and  their  father  gave  them 
inheritance  among  their  breth- 
ren. 

Prov.  xl,  22.  As  a  jewel  of  gold 
in  a  swine's  snout,  so  is  a  fair 
woman  which  is  without  discre- 
tion. 

Ileb.  xi,  23.  By  faith  Moses, 
when  he  was  bom,  was  hid  three 
months  of  his  parents,  because 
they  saw  he  was  a  proper  child; 
and  they  were  not  afraid  of  the 
king's  commandment. 

P5.  xlv,  11.  So  shall  the  king 
greatly  desire  tliy  beauty:  for 
ho  is  thy  Lord;  and  worship  thou 
him. 

Cant.  I,  5, 6.  I  am  black  but 
comely,  O  ye  daughters  of  Jeru- 
salem, as  the  tents  of  Kedar,  as 
the  curtains  of  Sohjmon.  Look 
not  upon  me,  because  1  am  black, 
because  the  sun  hath  looked  upon 
me:  my  mother's  children  were 
angry  with  me;  they  made  me  the 
keeper  of  the  vineyards;  but 
mine  own  vineyard  have  I  not 
kept. 

Qont.  iv,  3, 7.  Thy  lips  are  like 
a  thread  of  scarlet,  and  thy 
speech  is  comely:  thy  temples  are 
like  a  piece  of  a  pomegranate 
within  tliy  locks.  Thou  art  all 
fair,  my  love:  there  is  no  spot  in 
thee. 

Cant.  V,  9, 10.  What  is  thy  beloved 
more  than  another  beloved,  O  thou 
tairest  among  women?  what  is 
tliy  beloved  more  than  another 
beloved,  that  thou  dost  so  charge 
us?  My  beloved  is  white  and 
ruddy,  the  chiefest  among  ten 
thousand.

women?  whither  is  thy  beloved 
turned  asiile?  that  we  may  seek 
him  with  thee. 

Qant.  vii,  6.  How  fair  and  how 
pleasant  art  thou,  O  love,  for 
delights! 

Ezek.  xvi,  7,  13-15.  I  have 
caused  thee  to  multiply  as  tlie 
bud  of  the  field,  and  thou  hast  in- 
creased and  waxen  great,  and 
thou  art  come  to  excellent  orna- 
ments: thy  breasts  are  fashioned, 
and  thine  hair  is  grown,  whereas 

thou  wast  naked  and  bare 

And  thou  wast  exceeding  beauti- 
ful  And  thy  renown  went 

forth  among  the  heathen  for  thy 
beauty:  for  it  was  perfect  through 
my  comeliness,  which  I  had  put 
upon  thee,  sailh  the  Lord  Goo. 
But  thou  didst  trust  in  thine  own 
beauty,  and  playedst  the  harlot 
because  of  thy  renown,  and 
pouiedst  out  thy  fornications  on 
every  one  that  passed  by;  his  it 
was. 

Ezek.  xxviii,  17.  Thiue  heart 
was  lifted  up  because  of  tliy 
beauty;  thou  hast  corrupted  thy 
wisdom  by  reason  of  thy  brigiit- 
ness:  I  will  cast  thee  to  the 
ground,  I  will  lay  thee  before 
kings,  that  they  may  behold 
thee. 

VIRGINITY. 

Gen.  xxiv,  16.  And  the  damsel 
was  very  fair  to  look  upon,  a 
virgin;  neither  had  any  man 
known  her:  and  slie  went  down 
to  the  well,  and  filled  her  pitcher, 
and  came  up. 

Num.  xxxi,  15-18  35.  And  Mr  S'^s 
Bald  unto  them,  Have  ye  saved 
all  the  women  alive?  Behold, 
these  caused  the  children  of 
Israel,  through  the  counsel  of 
Balaam,to  commit  trespass  against 
the  Lord  in  the  matter  of  Pc^or, 
and  there  was  a  plague  among 
the  c  >ngrog;ition  of  tlie  Lokd. 
Now  tlierelbre  kill  every  male 
among  the  Utile  ones,  and  kill 
every  woman  that  hath 
known  man  by  lying  with  him. 
But  all  the  women-children,  tliot 
have  not  known  a  man  by  lying 
with  him,  keep  alive  for  your- 
selves. And  tliirty  and  two 
thousand  persons  in  all,  of  women 
that  had  not  known  man  by  lying 
with  him. 

Judges  xi,  37-40.  And  she  said 
unto  hor  father.  Let  this  thing  bo 
done  for  me:  let  me  alone  two 
months,  that  I  may  go  up  and 
down  upon  the  mountains,  and 
bewail  my  virginity,  I  and  my 
fellows.  And  he  suld.  Go.  And 
ho  tent  her  away /or  two  months: 
and  she  went  with  lier  compan- 
ions, and  bewailed  her  virginity 
upon  the  mountains.  And  it 
Came  to  pass,  at  the  end  of  two 


months,  that  she  returned  unto 
her  father,  who  did  with  her 
according  to  his  vow  which  he 
had  vowed:  and  she  knew  no 
man.  And  It  was  a  custom  in 
Israel,  T/iat  the  daughters  of 
Israel  went  yearly  to  lament  the 
daughter  of  Jephthah  the 
Gileadite  four  days  in  a  year. 

Buth  iii,  2,  3.  And  now  is  not 
Boaz  of  our  kindred,  with  whose 
maidens  thou  wast?  Behold,  he 
winnoweth  barley  to-night  in  the 
thrashing  -  floor.  Wash  thyself 
therefore,  and  anoint  thee,  ana 
put  thy  raiment  upon  thee,  and 
get  thee  down  to  tho  floor:  but 
make  not  thyself  known  unto  the 
man  until  he  shall  have  done 
eating  and  drinking. 

1  Kings  i,  3,  4.  So  they  sought 
for  a  fair  damsel  throughout  all 
the  coasts  of  Israel,  and  found 
Abishag  a  Shunammite,  and 
brought  her  to  the  king.  And 
the  damsel  was  very  fair,  and 
cherished  the  king,  and  minister- 
ed to  him;  but  the  king  knew  her 
not. 

Esther  ii,  1-4,  8, 9,  12-14.  After 
these  things,  when  the  wrath  of 
king  Ahasuerus  was  appeased,  he 
remembered  Vashtl,  and  what 
she  had  done,  and  what  was 
decreed  against  her.  Then  said 
the  king's  servants  that  minister- 
ed unto  him.  Let  there  be  fair 
young  virgins  sought  for  the  king: 
And  let  the  king  appoint  officers 
in  all  the  provinces  of  his  king- 
dom, that  they  may  gather  to- 
gether all  the  fair  young  virgins 
unto  Shushan  the  palace,  to  the 
house  of  the  women,  unto  the 
custody  of  Hege  the  king's 
chamberlain,  keeper  of  the 
women;  and  let  their  things  for 
purification  be  given  them:  And 
let  the  maiden  which  pleaseth  the 
king  be  queen  instead  of  Vashti. 
And  the  thing  pleased  the  king; 
and  he  did  so.  So  it  came  to  pass, 
wlien  the  king's  commandment 
and  his  decree  was  heard,  and 
when  many  maidens  were 
gathered  together  unto  Shushan 
the  palace,  to  the  custody  of  liegai, 
that  Esther  was  brought  also  unto 
the  king's  house,  to  the  custody 
of  Ilegai,  keeper  of  the  women. 
And  the  maiden  pleased  him,  and 
she  obtained  kindness  of  him;  and 
he  speedily  gave  her  her  things 
for  purification,  with  such  things 
as  belonged  to  her,  and  seven 
maidens,  lohich  were  meet  to  be 
given  her,  out  of  the  king's  house: 
and  he  preferred  her  and  her 
maids  unto  the  best  place  of  the 
house  of  tho  women.  Now,  when 
every  maid's  turn  was  come  to  go 
in  to  king  Ahasuerus,  after  that 
she  had  been  twelve  months,  ac- 
cording to  the  manner  of  the 
women,  (for  so  were  the  days  of 
their  purifications  accompUshed. 
424 


to  wit,  six  months  with  oil  of 
myrrh,  and  six  months  with  sweet 
odours,  and  with  other  things  for 
the  purifying  of  the  women.) 
Then  thus  came  everp  maiden 
unto  the  king;  whatsoever  she 
desired  was  given  her  to  go  with 
her  out  of  the  house  of  the  wo- 
men unto  the  king's  house.  In 
the  evening  she  went,  and  on  the 
morrow  she  returned  into  the 
second  house  of  the  women,  to 
the  custody  of  Shaashgaz,  the 
king's  chamberlain,  which  kept 
the  concubines:  she  came  in  unto 
the  king  no  more,  except  the  king 
delighted  in  her,  and  that  she 
were  called  by  name. 

Ps.  Ixxviil,  63.  The  fire  con- 
sumed their  young  men:  and  their 
maidens  were  not  given  to  mar- 
riage. 

Bev.  xlv,  4.  These  are  they 
which  wore  not  defiled  with  wo- 
men; for  they  are  virgins.  These 
are  they  Avhich  follow  the  Lamb 
whithersoever  he  goeth.  These 
were  redeemed  from  among  men, 
being  the  first-fruits  unto  God  and 
to  the  Lamb. 

LOVES— VARIOUS. 
Gen.  xxix,  11, 18-20.  And  Jacob 
kissed  Rachel,  and  lifted  up  his 
voice,  and  wept.  And  Jacob 
loved  Rachel;  and  said,  I  will 
serve  thee  seven  years  for  Rachel 
thy  younger  daughter.  And 
Laban  said,  It  is  better  that  I  give 
her  to  thee,  than  that  I  should 
give  her  to  another  man:  abide 
with  me.  And  Jacob  served 
seven  years  for  Rachel;  and  they 
seemed  unto  him  but  a  few  days, 
for  the  love  he  had  to  her. 

Gen.  xxxiv,  8.  And  his  soul 
clave  unto  Dinah  the  daughter  of 
Jacob;  and  he  loved  the  damsel, 
and  spake  kindly  unto  the  dam- 
sel. 

Judges  xvi,  4,  15.  And  It  came 
afterward,  tliat  he  loved  a  woman 
4n  the  valley  of  Sorek,  whose 
name  was  Delilah.  And  she  said 
unto  him,  How  canst  thou  say,  I 
love  theo,  when  thine  heart  is 
not  with  mc?  thou  hast  mocked 
me  these  three  times,  and  hast 
not  told  me  wherein  thy  great 
strength  lieth. 

1  Sam.  xviil,  20, 23.  And  Mlchnl, 
Saul's  daughter,  loved  David:  and 
they  told  Saul,  and  the  thing 
pleased  him.  And  Saul  saw  and 
knew  that  the  Loan,  7vas  with 
David,  and  that  Michal,  Saul's 
daughter,  loved  him. 

2  Sam.  xiil,  1,2.  And  It  came  to 
pass  after  this,  that  Absalom  the 
son  of  David  had  a  fair  sister, 
whose  name  was  Tamar;  and 
Amnon  the  son  of  David  loved 
her.  And  Amnon  was  so  vexed, 
that  he  fell  sjck  for  Lis  sister

Tamar;  for  she  was  h  virgin:  and 
Amnua  tlioiiglit  it  hard  lor  biui 
to  do  any  thiug  to  her. 

1  Kings  xi,  1,  2.  But  king  Solo- 
mon loved  many  strange  women, 
(together  with  the  fiausrhter  of 
Pharaoh,)  women  of  the  Moabites 
Am-nonites,  Edomites,  Zidoni  in«, 
and  Hittites;  Of  the  nations  con 
cerning  which  the  Lord  said  unto 
the  children  of  Israel,  Yo  slnill 
not  go  in  to  thera,  neiliier  shall 
they  come  in  unto  you: /or  surely 
they  will  turn  away  your  heart 
after  their  gods.  Solomon  clave 
unto  these  in  love. 

Esther  ii,  17.  And  the  king 
loved  ICstlier  above  all  the  women, 
and  she  obtained  grace  and  favour 
in  his  siglit  more  than  all  tlie 
Virgins;  so  that  he  set  the  royal 
crown  upon  her  head,  and  made 
her  queen  instead  of  Vashti. 

Prov.  vii,  13, 18.  So  she  cuight 
him,  and  kissed  him,  and  with  an 
impudent  face  said  unto  him. 
Come,  let  us  take  our  fill  of  love 
until  the  morning;  let  us  solace 
ourselves  with  loves. 

^ant.  viil,  6,  7  Set  me  as  a  seal 
upon  thine  heart,  as  a  seal  upon 
thine  arm:  lor  love  is  strong  as 
death;  jealousy  ia  cruel  as  thn 
grave:  the  coals  thereof  are  coals 
of  Are,  which  have  a  most  vehe- 
ment flame.  Many  waters  cannot 
quench  love,  neither  can  tlie 
floods  drown  it:  if  a  man  would 
give  all  the  substance  of  his 
house  for  love,  it  would  utterly  be 
contemned. 

Dan.  xi,  37.  Neither  shall  he 
regard  the  God  ot  his  fathers,  nor 
the  desire  of  women,  nor  regard 
any  god:  for  lie  shall  magnify 
himself  above  all. 

Qant.  i,  2,  Let  him  kiss  me  with 
the  kisses  of  his  mouth:  for  thy 
love  is  better  than  wine 

Oant  ii,  5.  Stay  me  with 
flagons,  comfort  me  with  apples; 
tor  I  am  sick  of  love. 

Qant.  iii,  4.  It  teas  but  a  little 
that  I  passed  from  them,  but  I 
found  him  whom  my  soul  loveth: 
[  held  him,  and  would  not  let 
bim  go,  until  I  had  lirought  him 
Into  my  mother's  house,  and  into 
the  chamber  other  that  conceived 
me. 

Qant.  iv,  9.  Thou  hast  ravished 
my  heart,  my  sister,  my  spouse; 
thou  hast  ravished  my  heart  with 
one  of  thine  eyes,  with  one  chain

wrote  unto  me:  It  is  good  liv  a 
man  not  to  touch  a  woman.  For 
I  would  that  all  men  were  even 
as  1  myself:  but  every  man  hath 
his  proper  g^ft  of  God,  one  after 
this  manner,  and  another  after 
that.  I  say  therefore  to  the  un- 
married and  widows,  It  is  good 
for  them  if  they  abide  even  as  I, 
I  suppose  theref(ire  that  this  is 
good  for  the  present  distress;  / 
say,  that  it  is  good  for  a  man  so 
to  be.  But  I  would  have  you 
without  carefulness.  He  that  is 
unmarried  careth  for  the  things 
that  belong  to  the  Lord,  how  he 
may  please  the  Lord:  But  he 
that  is  married  careth  for  the 
things  that  are  of  the  world,  how 
he  may  please  his  wite.

brethren,  or  among  all  my  people,

Moses  wrote  unto  us,  If  any 
man's  brother  die,  having  a  wife, 
and  he  die  without  children,  tliat 
his  brother  should  take  his  wife, 
and  raise  up  seed  unto  his  bro- 
ther. There  were  therefore  seven 
brethren:  and  the  first  took  a  wife, 
and  died  without  children.  And 
ihe  second  took  her  to  wife,  and 
he  died  childless.  And  the  third 
took  her;  and  in  like  manner  the 
seven  also  :  and  they  left  no  chil- 
dren, and  died.  Last  of  all  the 
woman  died  also.  Therefore  In 
the  resurrection  whose  wife  of 
them  is  she?  for  seven  had  her  to 
wife.

be  upon  him,  he  shall  be  unclean 
seven  days;  and  ail  the  bed  where- 
on he  lieth  shall  be  unclean.  And 
if  a  woman  have  an  issue  of  her 
blood  many  days  out  of  the  timo 
of  her  separation,  or  if  it  run  be- 
yond the  time  of  her  separation; 
all  the  days  of  the  issue  of  her 
uncleanness  shall  be  astlie  days  of 
her  separation:  slie  shall  be  un- 
clean. Every  bed  whereon  she 
lieth  all  the  days  of  her  issue  shall 
be  unto  her  as  the  hed  of  her 
separation:  and  whatsoever  she 
sitteth  upon  shall  be  unclean,  as 
the  unc  eanness  of  her  separation. 
And  wliosoever  toucheth  tliose 
things  siiall  be  unclean,  and  shall 
wash  his  clothes,  and  bathe  him- 
self in  water,  and  be  unclean  until 
t  he  even.  But  if  she  be  cleansed  of 
her  issue,  then  she  shall  number 
to  herself  seven  days,  and  after 
that  she  siiall  be  clean.  And  on 
the  eighth  day  she  shall  take  unto 
her  two  turtles,  or  two  young 
pigeons,  and  bring  them  unto  the 
priest,  to  the  door  of  the  tabi3r- 
nacle  of  the  congregation.  And 
the  priest  shall  offer  the  one  for 
a  sin-offering,  and  tlie  other  for 
a  burnt-oirering;  and  the  priest 
shall  make  an  atonement  for  her 
before  the  Lord  for  the  is.sue  of 
her  uncleanness.  Thus  shall  ye 
separate  the  children  of  Israel 
from  their  uncleanness;  that  they 
die  not  in  their  uncleanness,  when 
they  delile  my  tabernucle  that  is 
among  them.  This  is  the  law  of 
him  that  hath  an  issue,  and  of  h,im 
who.?A  seed  goetli  iroin  him,  and 
is  dclhid  therewith;  And  of  her 
that  is  sick  of  her  flowers,  and  of 
hirn  that  hath  an  issue,  of  the  man, 
and  of  the  woman,  and  of  him  that 
lieth  with  her  that  is  unclean. 

Lev.  XX.  18.  And  if  a  man  shall 
lie  with  a  woman  having  her  sick- 
ness, and  shall  uncover  her  naked- 
ness, he  hath  discovered  her 
fountain,  and  she  hath  uncovered 
the  fountain  of  her  blood:  and 
botli  of  them  shall  be  cut  off  from 
among  ih(dr  people.

8  ly,  I  toolv  this  woman,  and  w!:«c

the  damsel,  and  lier  mother,  talco 
and  bring  forth  t/ie  tokens  of 
tlie  damsel's  virginity  unto  the 
elders  of  the  city  In  tlie  gate:  And 
tlie  damsel's  father  shall  say  nnto 
the  elders,  I  gave  my  daughter 
tinto  this  man  to  wife,  and  he 
hatoth  her;  And,  lo,  he  hath 
given  occasions  of  speech  against 
her,  Haying.  I  found  not  thy  daugh- 
ter a  maid;  and  yet  tliese  are  the 
tokens  of  my  danglUer's  virginity. 
And  they  shall  spread  the  cloth 
before  the  elders  oi  the  city.  And 
the  elders  of  that  city  shall  take 
that  man  and  chastise  him;  And 
they  shall  amerce  him  in  an  hun- 
dred shekels  ot  silver;  and  give  them 
nnto  the  father  of  the  damsel,  be- 
cause he  hath  brought  up  an  evil 
name  upon  a  virgin  of  Israel;  and 
she  shall  be  his  wife:  he  may  not 
put  her  away  all  his  days.  But 
If  this  thing  be  true,  and  the 
tokens  qf  vliginity  be  not  found 
for  the  damsel. 

Isa.  XXX,  22.  Ye  shall  defile  also 
th6  covering  of  thy  graven  images 
of  silver,  and  the  ornament  of  thy 
molten  images  of  gold:  tlion  slialt 
cast  them  away  as  a  menstruous 
fcloth;  ihou  Shalt  Bay  unto  it.  Get 
thee  hence. 

Lam.  1, 17.  Zlon  apreadeth  forth 
her  hands,  and  there  is  none  to 
comfort  her:  the  Lord  hath  com- 
manded concerning  Jacob,  that 
his  adversaries  should  be  round 
about  him:  Jerusalem  is  as  a 
menstruous  woman  among  them. 

Ezek.  xviii,  6.  And  hatli  not 
eaten  upon  the  mountains,  neither 
hath  lifted  up  his  eyes  to  the 
idols  of  the  house  ot  Israel,  neither 
hath  defiled  iiis  neighbour's  wife, 
neither  hath  come  near  to  a  men- 
struous woman. 

Ezek.  xxii,  10.  In  thee  have  they 
discovered  their  father's  naked- 
ness; in  thee  have  they  humbled 
her  that  was  set  apart  for  pollu- 
tion. 

Ezek.  xxxvi,  17.  Son  of  man, 
■when  the  house  of  Israel  dwelt  in 
their  own  land,  they  defiled  it  by 
their  own,  way,  and  by  their  do- 
lugs:  their'way  was  before  me  as 
the  uncleanness  of  a  removed 
woman. 

RESTRICTIONS  UNDER  JEW- 
ISH  LAW. 
Deut.  xxl,  10,  11,  13, 14.  When 
thou  goest  forth  to  war  against 
thine  enemies,  and  the  Lobd  thy 
God  hath  delivered  them  into 
thine  hands,  and  thou  hast  taken 
them  captive,    Aud  seest  amou^ 


the  captives  a  beautiful  woman, 
and  hast  a  desire  unto  her,  that 
thou  wouldest  have  her  to  tliy 
wife.  And  she  shall  put  the  rai- 
ment of  her  captivity  from  off  her. 
and  shall  remain  lnthlnehou8e,and 
bewail  her  father  and  her  mother 
a  full  month:  and  after  that  thou 
Shalt  go  in  unto  her,  and  be  her 
husband,  and  she  shall  be  thy 
wife.  And  it  shall  be,  if  thou  have 
no  delight  in  her,  then  thou  shalt 
let  her  go  whither  she  will;  but 
thou  Shalt  not  sell  her  at  all  for 
money,  thou  shalt  not  make  mer- 
chandise of  her,  because  thou 
hast  humbled  her. 

Josh,  xxiii,  12, 13.  Else,  if  ye  do 
in  any  wise  go  back,  and  cleave 
unto  the  remnant  of  these  nations, 
even  these  that  remain  among 
you,  and  shall  makemarriges  with 
them,  and  go  in  untotthem,  and 
tliey  to  you:  Know  for  a  certainty, 
that  the  Lord  your  God  will  no 
more  drive  out  any  of  these  na- 
tions from  before  you;  but  they 
shall  be  snares  and  traps  unto 
you,  and  scourges  in  your  sides, 
and  thorns  in  your  eyes,  until  ye 
perish  from  off  this  good  land 
which  the  Lobd  your  God  hath 
given  you. 

Judges  ill,  6, 6.  And  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  dwelt  among  the 
Cauaanites,  Hittites,  and  Amo- 
rites,  aud  Perizzites,  and  Hivites, 
and  Jebusites:  And  they  took 
tlieir  daughters  to  be  their  wives, 
and  gave  their  daughters  to  their 
sons,  and  served  their  gods. 

Ezra  ix,  1, 2, 12-15.  Now,  when 
these  things  were  done,  the 
princes  came  to  me,  saying,  The 
people  of  Israel,  and  the  priests, 
and  the  Levites,  have  not  separat- 
ed themselves  from  the  people 
of  the  lands,  doing  according  to 
their  abominations,  even  of  tlie 
Canaanites,  the  Hittites,  the 
Perizzites,  (he  Jebusites,  the  Am- 
monites, the  Moabites,  the  Egyp- 
tians, and  the  Amorites.  For  they 
have  taken  of  their  daughters  for 
themselves,  and  for  their  sons;  so 
that  the  holy  seed  have  mingled 
themselves  with  the  people  of 
those  lands:  yea,  the  hand  of  the 
princes  and  rulers  have  been  chief 
in  tills  trespass.  Now  therefore 
give  not  your  daughters  unto 
their  sons,  neither  take  their 
daughters  unto  your  sons,  nor 
seek  their  peace  or  their  wealth 
for  ever,  that  ye  may  be  strong, 
and  eat  tlie  good  of  the  land,  aud 
leave  it  for  an  inheritance  to  your 
children  for  ever.  And  after  all 
that  is  come  upon  us  for  our  evil 
deeds,  and  for  our  great  trespass, 
seeing  that  thou  our  God  liast 
punished  us  less  than  our  iniqui- 
ties deserve,  and  hast  given  us 
such  deliverance  as  tliis;  Should 
we  again  break  thy  command- 
ments, and  Join  in  afilnity  with 
430 


the  people  of  fhenn  aT)omIna(!r>ng? 
wouldest  not  thou  be  angry  with 
us  till  thou  hadst  consumed  us,  so 
that  there  sliould  be  no  remnant 
nor  escaping?  O  Lord  God  of 
Israel,  tbou  art  lig  iteoos;  for  we 
remain  yet  escaped,  as  it  is  this 
day:  behold,  we  are  before  thee 
in  our  trespas-es;  for  we  cannot 
stand  before  thee  because  of  this. 

Ezra  X,  18,  19,  44.  Aud  among 
the  sons  of  the  priests  there  were 
found  that  had  taken  strange 
wives;  namdu,  of  the  sons  of 
Jesliua  the  son  of  Jozadak,  and 
Ills  brethren;  Maaseiah,  and 
Eliezer,  aud  Jarib,  and  Gedaliah. 
And  they  gave  their  hands  that 
they  would  put  away  their  wives; 
and,  being  guilty,  they  offered  a 
ram  of  the  flock  for  their  trespass. 
Ail  these  had  taken  strange  wives: 
and  some  of  them  had  wives  by 
whom  they  had  children. 

Neh.  X,  30.  And  that  we  would 
not  give  our  daughters  unto  the 
people  of  the  land,  nor  take  their 
daughters  for  our  sons. 

Neh.  xiii,  23-28.  In  those  days 
also  saw  I  Jews  that  had  married 
wives  of  Ashdod,  of  Ammon,  and 
of  Moab :  And  their  children 
spake  half  in  the  speech  of  Ash- 
dod, and  could  not  speak  in  the 
Jews'  language,  but  according  to 
the  language  of  each  people.  And 
I  contended  with  them,  and 
cursed  them,  and  smote  certain  of 
them,  and  plucked  ofi"  their  hair, 
and  made  them  swear  by  God, 
saying.  Ye  shall  not  give  your 
daughters  unto  their  sons,  nor 
take  tlieir  daughters  unto  your 
sons,  or  for  yourselves.  Did  not 
Solomon  king  of  Israel  sin  by 
these  things?  yet  among  many 
nations  was  there  no  king  like 
him,  who  was  beloved  of  his  God, 
aud  God  made  him  king  over  all 
Israel:  nevertheless  even  him  did 
outlandish  women  cause  to  sin. 
Sliall  we  then  hearken  unto  you 
to  do  all  this  great  evil,  to  trans- 
gress against  our  God,  in  marry- 
ing strange  wives?  And  one  of 
the  sons  of  Joiada,  the  son  of 
Eliashib  the  high  priest,  was  son- 
in-law  to  Sanballat  the  Horonite: 
therefore  I  chased  him  from  me. 

Mai.  ii,  11, 12.  Judah  hath  dealt 
treacherously,  and  an  abomina- 
tion is  committed  in  Israel  aud  in 
Jerusalem;  for  Judah  hath  pro- 
faned the  holiness  of  the  Lord 
which  he  loved,  and  hath  married 
the  daughter  of  a  strange  god. 
The  Lord  will  cut  off  the  man 
that  doeth  this,  the  master  and 
the  scholar,  out  of  the  tabernacles 
of  Jacob,  and  him  that  offereth  an 
offering  unto  the  Lobu  of  hosta. 

DUTIES  OF  HUSBANDS. 
Prov.  V,  15-19.  Drink  waters  out 
of  thine  own  cistern;  and  running 


MARRIAGE. 


■waters  out  of  thine  own  welt. 
Let  thy  fountains  be  dispersed 
abroad,  and  rivers  of  waters  in 
thy  streets.  Let  them  be  only 
thine  own,  and  not  strangers' 
with  thee.  Let  thy  fountain  be 
blessed;  and  rejoice  witli  the  wife 
of  thy  youth.  Let  her  be  as  ihe 
loving  hind  and  pleasant  roe;  let 
her  breasts  sati^'fy  thee  at  all 
times;  and  be  thou  ravished  al- 
ways with  her  love. 

Frov.  xi.  17,  29.  The  merciful 
man  doetii  good  to  his  own  soul: 
but  he  that  is  cruel  tronbleth  his 
own  flesh.  He  that  tronbleth  his 
own  house  shall  inherit  the  wind; 
and  the  fool  shall  be  servant  to  the 
wise  of  heart. 

Eccles  xi,  9.  Live  joyfully  with 
the  wife  wliora  thou  lovest  all  the 
days  of  the  life  of  thy  vanity, 
which  he  hath  given  thee  under 
the  sun,  all  the  days  of  thy  vanity: 
for  tliat  is  thy  portion  in  this  lile, 
and  in  thy  labour  which  thou 
takest  under  the  sun. 

1  Qor.  vii,  29,  33.  But  this,  I 
say,  brethren,  tiie  time  is  short:  it 
re.iiaineth,  tliat  both  they  that 
have  wives  be  as  though  they  had 
none;  But  he  that  Is  married 
careth  for  the  things  that  are  of 
the  world,  how  he  may  please  his 
wifj. 

Eph.  V,  28,  33.  So  ought  men  to 
love  tlieir  wives  as  their  own 
bodies:  he  that  loveth  his  wife 
loveth  himself.  Nevertheless,  let 
every  one  of  you  in  particular  so 
lovo  his  wife  even  as  liiinself;  and 
the  wife  see  that  she  reverence 
her  liushand. 

Qol.  lii,  19.  Husbands,  love  pour 
wives,  and  be  not  bitter  against 
them. 

1  Peter  iii,  7.  Likewise,  ye  hus- 
bands, dwell  witii  them  according 
to  knowledge,  giving  honour  unto 
the  wife,  as  unto  tlie  weaker  ves- 
sel, and  as  being  heirs  together  of 
the  grace  of  lite;  that  your  prayers 
be  not  hindered. 

DUTIES  OF  THE  WIFE. 

Gen.  iii,  16.  Unto  the  worn  in  he 
said,  I  will  greatly  multiply  thy 
sorrow  and  Ihy  conception:  in  sor- 
row thou  Shalt  bring  forth  chil- 
dren; and  thy  desire  shall  be  to 
thy  husband,  and  he  shall  rule 
over  thee. 

Esther  i.  15-21.  What  shall  we 
do  unto  the  queen  Vashti  accord- 
ing to  law,  becauj;e  she  hath  not 
performed  the  commandment  of 
the  king  Ahasuerus  by  the  cham- 
berlains? And  Memucan  answered 
before  the  king  and  the  princes, 
Vashti  the  queen  hath  not  done 
wrong  to  the  Iving  only,  but  also 
to  all  the  princes,  and  to  all  the 
people  that  are  in  all  the  pro- 
vinces of  the  king  Ahasuerus. 
For  this  deed  of  the  queen  shall 


come  abroad  unto  all  women,  so 
that  they  shall  despise  their  hus- 
bands in  their  eyes,  when  it  shall 
be  reported,  The  king  Ahasuerus 
commanded  Vashti  the  queen  to 
be  brouglit  in  before  him,  but  she 
came  not.  Likewise  shall  the 
ladies  of  Persia  and  Media  say 
this  day  unto  all  the  king's  princes, 
which  have  heard  of  the  deed  of 
tlie  queen.  Thus  shall  there  arise 
too  much  contempt  and  wrath. 
If  it  please  the  king,  let  there  go  a 
royal  commandment  from  him, 
and  let  it  be  writtten  among  the 
laws  of  the  Persians  and  the 
Medes,  that  it  be  not  altered,  That 
Vashti  come  no  more  before  king 
Ahasuerus;  and  let  the  king  give 
her  royal  estate  unto  another  that 
is  better  than  she.  And  when  the 
king's  decree,  which  he  shall 
make,  shall  be  published  through- 
out all  his  empire,  (for  it  is  great,) 
all  the  wives  shall  give  to  their 
husbands  honour,  both  to  great 
and  small.  And  the  saying  pleas- 
ed the  king  and  the  princes:  and 
the  king  did  according  to  the  word 
of  Memucan. 

Ps.  xlv,  10.  Hearken,  O  daugh- 
ter, and  consider,  and  incline 
thine  ear;  forget  also  thine  own 
people,  and  thy  father's  house. 

1  ^or.  xi,  8,  S.  For  the  man  is 
not  of  the  woman;  but  the  woman 
of  the  man.  Neither  was  the  man 
created  for  the  woman;  but  the 
woman  for  the  man. 

1  (7or.  xiv,  34,  35.  Let  your 
women  keep  silence  in  the 
churches:  for  it  is  not  permitted 
unto  them  to  speak;  but  they  are 
commanded  to  be  under  obedi- 
ence, as  also  saith  the  law.  And 
if  they  will  learn  any  tlnng,  let 
them  ask  their  husbands  at  home: 
for  it  is  a  shame  for  women  to 
speak  in  the  church. 

Eph.  V,  22-24.  Wives,  submit 
yourselves  unto  your  own  hus- 
bands, as  unto  the  Lord.  For  the 
husband  is  the  head  of  the  wife, 
even  as  Christ  is  tlie  head  of  the 
church:  and  he  is  the  saviour  of 
the  body.  Therefore  as  the  church 
is  subject  unto  Christ,  so  let  the 
wives  be  to  their  own  husbands  in 
every  thing. 

Col.  iii,  18.  Wives,  submit  your- 
selves unto  your  own  husbands, 
as  it  is  fit  in  the  Lord. 

1  Tim.  ii,  11-14.  Let  the  woman 
learn  in  silence  with  all  subjec- 
tion. But  I  suffer  not  a  woman  to 
teach,  nor  to  usurp  authority 
over  the  man,  but  to  be  in  silence. 
For  Adam  was  first  formed,  then 
Eve.  And  Adam  was  not  de- 
ceived; but  the  woman,  being 
deceived,  was  in  the  transgres- 
sion. 

1  Peter  iii,  l,  2,  5,  6.  Likewise, 
ye  wives,  be  in  subjection  to  your 
own  husbands;  that,  if  any  obey 
431 


not  the  word,  they  also  may 
without  the  word  be  won  by  tlie 
conversation  of  the  wives;  Wliile 
they  behold  your  chaste  conver- 
sation coupled  with  fear.  For 
after  this  manner  in  the  old  time 
the  holy  women  also,  who  trusted 
in  God,  adorned  themselves,  be- 
ing in  subjection  unto  their  own 
husbands:  Even  as  Sarah  obeyed 
Abraham,  calling  him  lord:  whose 
daughters  ye  are  as  long  as  ye  do 
well,  and  are  not  afraid  With  any 
amazement. 

Titus  il,  4,  5.  That  they  may 
teach  the  young  women  to  be 
sober,  to  love  their  husbands,  to 
love  their  children.  To  be  dis- 
creet, chaste,  keepers  at  home, 
good,  obedient  to  their  own  hus- 
band ,  tiiat  the  word  of  God  be  not 
blasphemed. 

Gen.  xvi,  6.  But  Abram  said 
unto  Sarai,  Behold,  thy  maid  is  in 
thy  hand:  do  to  her  as  it  pleaselh 
thee.  And  when  Sarai  dealt 
hardly  with  her,  she  fled  from  her 
face. 

Gen.  xxi,  12.  And  God  said  unto 
Abraham,  Let  it  not  be  grievous 
in  thy  sight  because  of  tlie  lad, 
and  because  of  thy  bond-woman; 
in  all  that  Sarah  hath  said  unto 
thee,  hearken  unto  her  voice;  for 
in  Isaac  shall  thy  seed  be  called. 

1  Sam.  XXV,  19,  26.  And  she 
said  unto  her  servants.  Go  on 
before  me;  behold,  I  come  after 
you.  But  she  told  not  her  hus- 
band Nabal.  Now  therefore,  my 
lord,  as  the  Lokd  liveth,  and  as 
thy  soul  liveth,  seeing  the  Loed 
hath  withholden  thee  from  com- 
ing to  shed  blood,  and  from 
avenging  thyself  with  thine  own 
hand,  now  let  thine  enemies,  and 
they  that  seek  evil  to  my  lord,  be 
as  Nabal. 

Esther  i,  10-12.  On  the  seventh 
day,  when  the  heart  of  the  king 
was  merry  with  wine,  he  com- 
manded Mehuman,  Biztha,  llar- 
bona,  Blgtha,  and  Abagtha, 
Zetliar,  Cascas,  the  seven  ciiam- 
berlains  tliat  served  in  tlie  pre- 
sence of  Ahasuerus  the  king,  To 
bring  Vashti  the  queen  before  the 
king  with  the  crown -royal,  to 
shew  the  people  and  the  princes 
her  beauty;  for  she  was  fair  to 
look  on.  But  the  queen  Vashti 
refused  to  come  at  (he  king's 
commandment  by  his  chamber- 
lains: therefore  was  the  king 
very  wroth,  and  his  anger  burned 
in  him, 

Prov.  xxxi,  23.  Her  husband  is

Frov.  xi,  16.  A  gracious  woman 
retainetli  honour,  and  strong  men 
retain  riclies.

\rlfe  flndeth  a  good  thing,  and 
ObtainetU  favour  of  the  Lord. 

Frov.  xxxl.  10-12,  28-31.  Who 
can  land  a  virtuous  woman?  for 
her  price  is  far  above  rubies.  The 
heart  of  her  husband  doth  safely 
trust  in  her,  so  that  he  sliall  have 
no  need  of  spoil.  She  will  do  him 
good,  and  not  evil,  all  the  days  of 
her  life.  Her  children  arise  up, 
and  c.dl  her  blessed;  her  husband 
also,  and  he  praiseth  her.  Many 
d:uightera  have  done  virt\iously, 
but  thou  excellest  tliem  all. 
Favour  is  deceitful,  and  beauty  ii 
vain:  but  a  woman  that  I'eareth 
tlie  Lord,  she  sliall  be  praised. 
Give  her  of  tlio  fruit  of  her  hands; 
an  i  ift  iierovvn  works  praise  her

dancing  before  the  Lord;  and  she 
despised  him  iu  her  heart. 

\  Kings  x\,^.  For  It  came  to 
pT^s,  when  Solomon  was  old,  that 
ills  wives  turned  away  his  heart

Prov.  xlx,  13,  A  foolish  son  is 
the  calamity  of  his  fatiier,  and

dwell  in  a  corner  of  tlie  house-top, 
tli^n  with  a  brawling  woman  in  a 
wide  house.  It  is-  better  to  dwell 
in  the  wilderness,  than  with  a 
contentious  and  an  angry  wo- 
man. 

Prov.  XXV,  24.  It  is  better  to 
dwell  in  a  corner  of  the  house-top, 
than  with  a  brawling  woman,  and

Prov.  xxvil,  15, 16.  A  continual 
dropping  in  a  very  rainy  day  and 
a  contentious  woman  are  alike.

rael, aud  Judah,  abide  in  tents; 
and  my  lord  Joab,  and  the  ser- 
vants of  my  lord,  are  encamped 
in  the  open  fields;  shall  I  then  go

dead,  she  is  loosed  from  tlie  law 
of  her  liusband.  So  then  if,  wliile 
her  imsband  liveth,  she  be  mar- 
ried to  anotlier  man,  she  shall  be 
called  an  adulteress:  but  if  her 
husband  be  dead,  she  is  free  from 
that  law;  so  that  slie  is  no  adul- 
teress, though  she  be  married  to 
anotlier  man. 

1  Cor.  vii,  39.  The  wife  la  bound 
by  tlie  law  as  long  as  her  hus-

be  dead,  she  is  at  liberty  to  be 
married  to  whom  she  will;  only  in 
the  Lord. 

WIDOWS. 

Gen.  xxwiii,  12, 19.  And  in  pro- 
cess of  time  the  daughter  of  Shuah 
Judah's  wife  died;  and  Judah  was 
comforted,  and  went  up  unto  his 
Bheep-shearers  to  Timnath,  he 
and  his  friend  Hirah  the  Adullam- 
ite.  And  she  arose,  and  went 
away,  and  laid  by  lier  vail  from 
her,  and  put  on  the  garments  of 
her  widowhood.

husband ;  and  fiow  thou  hast  left 
thy  father  and  thy  mother,  and 
the  land  of  thy  nativity,  and  art 
come  unto  a  people  which  thou 
knewest  not  heretofore.  The 
LoKD  recompense  thy  work,  and 
a  full  reward  be  given  thee  of  the 
Loud  God  of  Israel,  under  whose 
wings  thou  art  come  to  trust. 

1  Kings  xvii,9.  Arise,  get  thee  to 
Zarephatli,  which  belongeth  to

MARRIAGE. 

Jer.  XV,  8,  9.  Their  widows  are 
increased  to  mo  above  the  sand 
of  the  seas:  I  have  brought  upon 
them,  against  the  mother  of  the 
young  men,  a  spoiler  at  noon- 
day: I  have  caused  him  to  fall 
upon  it  suddenly,  and  terrors  up- 
on the  city.  She  that  hath  borne 
seven  languisheth:  she  hatli  given 
up  the  ghost;  her  sun  is  gone 
down  while  ^■^  vms  yet  day:  she 
hath  been  ashamed  and  confound- 
ed: and  the  residue  of  them  will  I 
deliver  to  the  sword  before  their 
enemies,  saith  the  Lord. 

Lam.  V,  3.  We  are  orphans  and 
fatherless,  our  mothers  are  as 
widows. 

1  Tim.  V,  6,  9. 10.  Now  she  that 
is  a  widow  indeed,  and  desolate, 
trusteth  in  God,  and  continueth 
in  supplications  and  prayers  night 
and  day.  Let  not  a  widow  be 
taken  into  the  number  under 
threescore  years  old,  having  been 
the  wife  of  one  man.  Well  report- 
ed of  for  good  worlis;  if  she  have 
brought  up  children,  if  she  have 
lodged  strangers,  if  she  have 
washed  the  saints'  feet,  if  she  have 
relieved  the  afflicted,  if  she  have 
diligently  followed  every  good 
work. 

Widows  sPECiAtLY  objects  of 

Sympathy. 
Job\xix,l3.  The  blessing  of  him 
that  was  ready  to  perish   came 
upon  me,  and  I  caused  the  widow's 
heart  to  sing  for  joy. 

Job  xxii,  9-11.  Thou  hast  sent 
widows  away  empty,  and  the 
arms  of  the  fatherless  have  been 
broken.  Therefore  snares  a7'e 
round  about  thee,  and  sudden 
fear  troubleth  thee;  Or  darliness, 
that  thou  canst  not  see;  and  abun- 
dance of  waters  cover  thee. 

Job  xxxi,  16-18.  If  I  have  with- 
held the  poor  from  their  desire, 
or  have  caused  the  eyes  of  tlie 
widow  to  fail ;  Or  have  eaten  my 
morsel  myself  alone,  and  the  fa- 
therless hath  not  eaten  thereof; 
For  from  my  youth  he  was 
brought  up  with  me,  as  with  a 
father,  and  I  have  guided  her 
from  my  mother's  womb. 

Ps.  xciv,  6.  They  slay  the  widow 
and  the  stranger,  and  murder  the 
fatherless. 

Isa.  liv,  4.  Fear  not ;  for  thou 
Shalt  not  be  ashamed;  neither  be 
thou  confounded;  for  thou  shalt 
not  be  put  to  shame:  for  thou  shalt 
forget  the  shame  of  thy  youth, 
and  shalt  not  remember  the  re- 
proach of  thy  widowhood  any 
more. 

Ezek.  xxll,  7.  In  thee  have  they 
set  light  by  father  and  mother;  in 
the  midst  of  tliee  have  they  dealt 
by  oppression  with  the  stranger  j 


in  thee  have  they  vexed  the  fa- 
therless and  the  widow. 

Acts  ix,  39.  Then  Peter  aroso 
and  went  with  them.  When  ho 
was  cnmo,  they  brought  him  into 
tlie  upper  chamber:  and  all  the 
widows  stood  by  him  weeping, 
and  shewing  the  coats  and  gar- 
ments which  Dorcas  madewLlo 
she  was  with  them. 

1  Tim.  V,  3,  4, 16.  Honour  wi- 
dows that  are  widows  indeed. 
But  if  any  widows  have  children 
or  nephews,  let  them  learn  first  to 
shew  piety  at  home,  and  to  re- 
quit  '.  their  parents :  for  that  is 
good  and  acceptable  before  God. 
If  any  man  or  woman  that  belie  v- 
eth  have  widows,  let  them  relieve 
them,  and  let  not  the  church  be 
charged;  that  it  may  relieve  them 
that  are  widows  indeed. 

James  i,  27.  Pure  religion  and 
undefiled  before  God  and  the 
Father  is  this,  To  visit  the  f  ither- 
less  and  widow.s  in  their  affliction, 
a7id  to  keep  himself  unspotted 
from  the  world. 

God's  care  op  Widows. 

Exod.  xxii,  22-24.  Ye  shall  not 
afflict  any  widow,  or  fatherless 
child.  If  thou  afflict  them  in  any 
wise,  and  they  cry  at  all  unto  me, 
I  will  surely  hear  their  cry;  And 
ray  wrath  shall  wax  hot,  and  I 
will  kill  you  with  the  sword;  and 
your  wives  shall  be  widows,  and 
your  children  fatherless. 

Deut.  X,  18.  He  doth  execute 
the  judgment  of  tlie  fatherless 
and  widow,  and  loveth  the  stran- 
ger, in  giving  him  food  and  rai- 
ment. 

Deut.  xxiv,  17, 18.  Thou  shalt 
not  pervert  the  judgment  of  the 
stranger,  nor  of  the  fatherless, 
nor  take  a  widow's  raiment  to 
pledge:  But  thou  shalt  remember 
that  thou  wast  a  bond  -  man  in 
Egypt,  and  the  Lord  thy  God 
redeemeii  thee  thence :  therefore 
I  command  thee  to  do  this 
thing. 

Deut.  xxvii,  19.  Cursed  be  he 
that  perverteth  the  judgment  of 
the  stranger,  fatherless,  and  wi- 
dow: and  all  the  people  shall  say, 
Amen. 

Fs.  Ixviii,  6.  A  father  of  the 
fatherless,  and  a  judge  of  the 
widows,  is  God  in  his  holy  habita- 
tion. 

Ps.  cxlvi,  9.  The  Lord  preserv-

way  of  the  wicked  he  turneth  up- 
side down. 

Prov.  XV,  25.  The  Lord  will  do- 
stroy  the  house  of  the  proud:  but 
he  will  establish  the  border  of  the 
widow.

Zech.  vii,  10.  And  oppress  not 
the  widow,  nor  tlie  fatherless, 
the  stranger,  nor  the  poor;  and 
let  none  of  you  imagine  evil 
against  his  brother  In  your 
heart. 

1  Tim.  V,  8.  But  if  any  provide 
not  lor  liis  own,  and  specially  for 
those  of  his  own  house,  he  hath 
denied  the  faith,  and  is  worse 
than  an  infidel.

mourriing  was  past,  David  sent 
and  fetched  her  [Hath-sheba]  to 
his  house,  and  she  became  his 
wife,  and  bare  him  a  son.  But  the 
thing  that  David  had  done  dis- 
pleased the  LoKD.

when  Azubah  was  dead,  Caleb 
took  unto  him  Ephrath,  which 
bare  him  Hur.  And  Hur  begat 
Uri,  and  Uri  begat  Bezaleel.  And

his  daughter  to  be  a  maid-servant, 
she  sliall  not  go  out  as  the  men- 
servants  do.  If  she  please  not 
her  master,  who  liatli  betrothed 
her  to  himself,  then  shall  \xQ  let 
her  be  redeemed:  to  sell  her  unto 


a  strange  nation  he  shall  have  no 
power,  seeing  he  hath  dealt  de- 
ceitfully with  her.  And  if  he  have 
betrothed  her  unto  his  son,  he 
shall  deal  with  her  after  the  man- 
ner of  daughters.  If  he  take  him 
another  wife,  her  food,  her  rai- 
ment, and  her  duty  of  marriage, 
shall  he  not  diminish.  And  if  he 
do  not  these  three  unto  her, 
then  shall  she  go  out  free  without 
money. 

Deut.  xxi,  14.  And  it  shall  be,  if 
thou  have  no  delight  in  her,  then 
tliou  Shalt  let  her  go  wliither  she 
will;  but  thou  shalt  not  sell  her  at 
all  for  money,  thou  shalt  not 
make  merchandise  of  her,  because 
thou  hast  humbled  her. 

Deut.  xxiv,  1-6.  When  a  man 
hath  taken  a  wife,  and  married 
her,  and  it  come  to  pass  that  she 
find  no  favour  in  his  eyes,  l^ecaiise 
he  liath  found  some  uncleanness 
in  her;  then  let  him  write  her  a 
bill  of  divorcement,  and  give  it 
in  her  hand,  and  send  her  out  of 
Ills  house.  And  when  she  is 
departed  out  of  his  house,she  may 
go  and  be  another  man's  wife. 
And  if  the  latter  husband  hate 
her,  and  write  lier  a  bill  of  di- 
vorcement, and  giveth  it  in  her 
hand,  and  sendeth  her  out  of  his 
house;  or  if  the  latter  husband  die, 
which  took  lier  to  be  his  wife;  Her 
former  husband,  which  sent  her 
away,  may  not  take  her  again  to 
be  his  wife,  after  that  she  is  de- 
filed; for  that  is  abomination  be- 
fore the  Lord:  and  thou  shalt  not 
cause  the  land  to  sin,  which  the 
Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee  for  an 
inheritance.  Svhen  a  man  liath 
taken  a  new  wife,  he  shall  not  go 
out  to  war,  neither  shall  he  be 
charged  with  any  bu.siness;  but 
he  shall  be  free  at  home  one  year, 
and  shall  cheer  up  his  wife  which 
he  bath  taken. 

Matth.v,  31, 32.  It  hath  been 
said.  Whosoever  shall  put  away 
his  wife,  let  him  give  her  a  writ- 
ing of  divorcement:  But  I  say 
unto  you.  That  whosoever  shall 
put  away  his  wife,  saving  for  the 
cause  of  fornication,  causeth  her 
to  commit  adultery:  and  whoso- 
ever shall  marry  her  that  is  di- 
vorced committeth  adultery. 

Matth.  xlx,  9, 10.  And  I  say  unto 
you.  Whosoever  shall  put  away 
his  wife,  except  it  be  for  fornica- 
tion, and  shall  marry  another, 
committeth  adultery;  and  whoso 
marrieth  her  whicli  is  put  away 
doth  commit  adultery.  His  dis- 
ciples say  unto  liim,  If  tlie  case  of 
the  man  be  so  with  his  wife,  it  is 
not  good  to  marry. 


Isa.  1, 1.   Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Where  is  the  bill  of  your  mother's 
431 


divorcement,  whom  T  have  put 
away?  or  which  of  my  creditors  is 
it  to  whom  1  have  sold  you?  He- 
hold,  for  your  iniquities  have  ye 
sold  yourselves,  and  for  your 
transgressions  is  your  mother  put 
away. 

Jer.  ill,  1,  8.  They  say.  If  a  man 
put  away  liis  wife,  and  she  go 
from  him,  and  become  another 
man's,  shall  he  return  unto  her 
again?  shall  not  that  land  be 
greatly  polluted?  but  thou  hast 
played  the  harlot  with  many 
lovers;  yet  return  again  to  me, 
saith  the  Lord.  And  I  saw,  wlien 
for  all  the  causes  whereby  back- 
sliding Israel  committed  adultery 
I  had  put  her  away,  and  given  her 
a  bill  of  divorce;  yet  her  treacher- 
ous sister  Judah  feared  not,  but 
went  and  played  the  harlot  also. 

Instances. 
Ezra  X,  2-4, 10-12,  14-17.  And 
Shechaniah  the  son  of  Jehiel,  one 
of  the  sons  of  Elam,  answered 
and  said  unto  Ezra,  We  have 
trespassed  against  our  God,  and 
have  taken  strange  wives  of 
the  people  of  the  land;  yet  now 
there  is  hope  in  Israel  concerning 
this  thing.  Now  tlierefore  let  us 
make  a  covenant  with  our  God  to 
put  away  all  the  wives,  and  such 
as  are  born  of  them,  according  to 
the  counsel  of  my  lord,  and  of 
those  that  tremble  at  the  com- 
mandment of  our  (iod;  and  let  it 
be  done  according  to  the  law. 
Arise;  for  t/ds  matter  belongeth 
unto  thee:  we  also  wiU  be  with 
thee:  be  of  good  courage,  and  do  it. 
And  Ezra  the  priest  stood  izp.  and 
said  unto  them.  Ye  have  trans- 
gressed, and  have  taken  strange 
wives,  to  increase  the  trespass  of 
Israel.  Now  therefore  make  C)n- 
fession  unto'  the  Lord  God  of  our 
fatliers,  and  do  his  pleasure;  and 
separate  yourselves  from  the  peo- 
ple of  the  land,  and  from  the 
strange  wives.  Then  all  the 
congregation  answered  and  said 
with  a  loud  voice.  As  thou  hast 
said,  so  must  we  do.  Let  now 
our  rulers  of  all  the  congregation 
stand,  and  let  all  them  which 
have  taken  strange  wives  in  our 
cities  come  at  appointed  times, 
and  with  them  the  elders  of  every 
city,  and  the  judges  thereof,  until 
the  fierce  wrath  of  our  God  for 
this  matter  be  turned  from  us. 
Only  Jonathan  the  son  of  Asahel, 
and  Jahaziah  the  son  of  Tikvah, 
were  employed  about  this  matter; 
and  Meshullam  and  Shabbetlial 
the  Levite  helped  them.  And  the 
children  of  the  captivity  did  so. 
And  Ezra  the  priest,  ivith  certain 
chief  of  the  fathers,  after  the 
house  of  their  fathers,  and  all 
of  them  by  their  names,  were 
separated,  and  sat  down  In  the 
first  day  of  the  tenth  month  to 


eTamte©  tb©  mafter.  And  they 
made  an  end  with  all  the  men 
that  had  taken  strange  wives  by 
the  first  day  of  the  first  month.

of  the  Lord  with  tears,  with 
weeping,  and  with  crying  out, 
insomuch  that  he  regardeth  not 
the  offering  anymore,  or  receiveth 
it  with  good  will  at  your  hand. 
Yet  ye  say.  Wherefore?  Because 
the  LoKD  hath  been  witness  be- 
tween tliee  and  the  wife  of  thy 
youth,  against  whom  thou  hast 
dealt  treacherously:  yet  is  she  thy 
companion,  and  the  wife  of  thy 
covenant.  For  the  Lord,  the  God 
of  Israel,  saith  that  he  hateth 
piUtuig  away:  for  one  covereth 
violence  with  his  garment,  saith 
the  Loud  of  hosts;  tlierefore  take 
heed  to  your  spirit,  that  ye  deal 
not  treacherously. 

Matth.  xix,  6-8.  Wherefore  they^ 
are  no  more  twain,  but  one  flesh. 
What  therefore  God  hath  joined 
together,  let  not  man  put  asunder. 
Tliey  say  unto  him.  Why  did 
Moses  then  command  to  give  a 
writing  of  divorcement,  and  to 
put  her  away?  He  saith  unto 
them,  Moses,  because  of  the  hard- 
ness of  your  hearts,  suffered  you 
to  put  away  your  wives:  but  from 
the  beginning  it  was  not  so. 

Mark  x,  2-6,  9-12.  And  the 
Pharisees  came  to  him,  and  asked 
him,  Is  it  lawful  for  a  man  to  put 
away  his  wife?  tempting  him. 
And  he  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  What  did  Moses  command 
you?  And  they  said,  Moses' 
suffered  to  write  a  bill  of  divorce- 
m  nt,  and  to  put  her  away.  And 
Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
them.  For  tlie  hardness  of  your 
heart  he  wrote  you  this  precept: 
Wliat  therefore  God  hath  joined 
together,  let  not  man  put  asun- 
der. And  in  the  house  his  dis- 
2ipl'  8  asked  him  again  of  the  same 
matter.  And  he  saith  unto  them, 
Wiiosoerer  shall  put  away  his 
wife,  and  marry  another,  com- 
mittfeth  adultery  against  her. 
And  if  a  woman  shall  put  away 
her  husband,  and  be  married  to 
anotlier,  she  committeth  adultery.

wife  into  the  chamber:  but  her 
father  would  not  suffer  him  to  go 
in.  And  her  father  said,  I  verily 
thought  that  thou  hadst  utterly 
hated  her;  therefore  I  gave  her

younger  sister  fairer  than  she? 
take  her,  I  pray  thee,  instead  of 
her.

thee,  that  is,  Thou  shalt  not  see 
my  face,  except  thou  first  bring 
Michal,  Saul'8  daughter,  when 
thou  comest  to  see  my  face.  And 
David  sent  messengers  to  Ish- 
bosheth,  Saul's  son,  saying,  De- 
liver me  my  wife  Michal,  which  I 
espoused  to  me  for  an  hundred 
foreskins  of  the  Philistines.  And 
Ish-bosheth  sent,  and  took  her 
from  her  husband,  even  from 
Phaltiel  the  son  of  Laish.  And

not  thy  husband:  in  that  saidst 
thou  truly. 

1  Cor.  vli,  10-16.  And  unto  the

married  I  command,  yet  not  T,  b'lt 
the  Lord,  Let  not  the  wife  (lep;f!t 
from  her  husband:  But  and  if  sue 
depart,  let  her  remain  unman  i.!, 
or  be  reconciled  to  her  husbami: 
and  let  not  the  husband  put  away 
his  wife.  But  to  the  rest  speai<  I, 
not  the  Lord;  If  any  brother  hath 
a  wife  that  believeth  not,  and  siia 
be  pleased  to  dwell  with  him,  let 
him  not  put  her  away.  And  the 
woman  which  haih  an  husband 
that  believeth  not,  and  if  he  be 
pleased  to  dwell  with  her,  let  her 
not  leave  him.  For  the  unbeliev- 
ing husband  is  sanctified,  by  the 
wife,  and  the  unbelieving  wife  is 
eanctlfled  by  the  husband:  else 
were  your  children  unclean;  but 
now  are  thoy  holy.  But  if  the  un- 
believing depart,  let  him  depart. 
A  brother  or  a  sister  is  not  under 
bondage  in  such  cases:  but  God 
hath  called  us  to  peace.  For  what 
knowest  thou,  O  wito,  whether 
thou  Shalt  save  thy  husband?  or 
how  knowest  thou,  O  man,  wiier 
ther  thou  shalt  save  thy  wile?

make  one?  Yet  had  he  the  resi- 
due of  the  Spirit.  And  wherefore 
one?  That  he  might  seek  a  goodly

your  spirit,  and  let  none  deal 
treacherously  against  the  wife  of 
his  youth.

house  round  about  upon  me  by 
night,  and  thought  to  have  slain 
me;  and  my  concubine  have  they 
forced,  that  she  is  dead.  And  I 
took  my  concubine,  and  cut  her 
in  pieces,  and  sent  her  throughout

Ltv.  xviii,  6  - 19.  None  of  you 


shall  approach  to  any  that  Is  nenr 
of  kin  to  him,  to  uncover  their 
nakedness:  I  am  the  Lord.  Tlie 
nakedness  of  tliy  father,  or  tlie 
nakedness  of  thy  mother,  shait 
thou  not  uncover:  she  is  thy 
mother,  thou  shalt  not  uncover 
her  nakedness.  The  nakedness 
of  thy  father's  wife  shalt  thou  not 
uncover:  it  is  thy  fatlier's  naked- 
ness. The  nakedness  of  thy  sister, 
tlie  daughter  of  thy  fattier,  or 
daughter  of  thy  mother,  whether 
she  be  born  at  home,  or  born 
abroad,  even  their  nakedness  tliou

ness  of  thy  son's  daughter,  or  of 
I  by  daughter's  daughter,  even 
their  nakedness  thuu  slialt  not 
uncover:  for  theirs  is  thine  own

thy  fath(!r's  wife's  daugliter,  be- 
gotten of  thy  father,  (she  is  thy 
sister,)  ihuu  shalt  not  uncover  her

kinswoman.  Thou  shalt  not  un-

mother's  near  kinswoman.  Thou 
Shalt  not  uncover  the  nakedness 
of  thy  father's  brother,  thou  slialt

thine  aunt.  Thou  shalt  not  un-

son's  daughter,  or  her  daughter's

Instances. 
Gen.xix,  30-33.  And  Lot  went 
up  out  of  Zoar,  and  dwelt  in  the 
mountain,  and  his  two  daughters 
with  him;  for  he  feared  to  dwell 
in  Zoan  and  he  dwelt  in  a  cave, 
he  and  his  two  daughters.  And 
the  first  -  born  said  unto  the 
younger.  Our  father  is  old,  and 
there  is  not  a  man  in  the  earth 
to  come  in  unto  us  after  the 
manner  of  all  the  earth:  Come, 
let  us  make  our  father  drink 
wine,  and  we  will  lie  with  him, 
that  we  may  preserve  seed  of  our 
437 


father.  And  thpy  mnde  their

Gen.  XX,  12.  And  yet  indeed  she. 
is  my  sister:  she  is  Jie  daughter 
of  my  father,  but  not  the  daugh- 
ter of  my  mother;  and  she  became 
my  wife. 

Gen.  XXXV,  22.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  when  Israel  dwelt  iu  that 
land,  that  Reuben  went  and  lay 
with  Bilhah  his  father's  concubine: 
and  Israel  heard  it.  Now  the 
sons  of  .Jacob  were  twelve. 

Exod.  y'l,  20.  And  Amram  took 
him  Jochebed  his  fiilher's  tlster 
to  wife;  and  sJie  bare  him  Aaron 
and  Moses.  And  *lie  years  of  the 
life  of  Amram  ivere  an  hundied 
and  thirty  and  seven  years. 

1  Chron.  il,  3,  4.  The  sons  of 
Judali;  Er,  and  Onan,  and  Shelah: 
which  three  were  born  unto  him 
of  the  daughter  of  Shua  the 
Canaanitet^s.  And  Er,  tlie  first- 
born of  Judah,  was  evil  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord,  and  he  slew 
him.  And  Taniar  his  daughter- 
in-law  bare  him  Pliurez  and 
Zerah.  All  the  sons  of  Judah 
were  five. 

Ezeli.  xxii,  11,  And  one  hath 
committed  abomination  with  his 
neighbour's  wife;  and  ano  her

humbled  his  sister,  his  lather'a 
daugliter. 

1  Gor.  v,  1.  It  is  reported  com- 
monly that  there  is  fornication 
among  you,  and  such  fornicati<m 
as  is  not  so  much  as  named  among 
the  Gentiles,  tliat  one  should 
have  his  father's  wife. 

Punishment. 
^  Gen.  xlix,  4.  Unstable  as  water, 
thou  slialt  not  excel;  because  thou 
wentest  up  to  thy  father's  bed; 
then  defiledst  thou  it:  he  went  up 
to  my  couch. 

Lev.  XX,  11-14,  20-22.  And  the 
man  that  lietli  with  his  father's 
wife  hath  uncovered  his  father's 
nakedness:  both  of  them  shall 
surely  be  put  to  death;  their  blood 
shall  be  upon  them.  And  if  a  man 
lie  with  his  daughter-in-law,  both 
of  them  shall  surely  be  put  to 
death :  they  have  wrought  confu- 
sion; their  biood  shall  be  upon 
them.  If  a  man  also  lie  with 
mankind  as  he  lieth  with  a 
woman,  both  of  them  have  com- 
mitted an  abomination:  they  shall 
surely  be  put  to  death;  their  blood 
shall  be  upon  them.  And  if  a  man 
take  a  wife  and  her  mother,  it  is 
wickedness:  they  shall  be  burnt 
with  fire,  both  he  and  they ;  that 
there  be  no  wickedness  among 
you.  And  if  a  man  shall  lie  with 
his  uncle's  wife,  he  hath  uncover- 
ed his  uncle's  nakedness:  they 
shall  bear  their  sin;  they  shall  die 


chfldless.  And  If  a  man  shall 
t;ike  his  brother's  wife,  it  is  an 
uncloan  thing:  lio  hath  UTicovored 
his  brother's  nakedness;  they  shall 
be  childless.  Ye  shall  therefore 
keep  all  my  statutes,  and  all  my 
juitgnaents,  and  do  them;  that  the 
land,  whither  I  bring  you  to  dwell 
therein,  spue  you  not  out.

Fatal  Results. 
2  Sam.  xiii,  15-22,  32,  33.    Then 
Arauon  hated  her  exceedingly;  so 
tliat    the    hatred    wherewith  he 
liafed  her  icas  greater  than  the 
love  wherewith  ho  had  loved  her, 
and  Amnon  said  unto  her,  Arise, 
be  gone.    And  she  said  uuto  him, 
There  is  no  cause:  this  evil  in 
Belli  ling  me  away  is  greater  than 
the  other  that  thou  didst  unto 
me.    But  he  would  not  hearken 
unto  her.     Then   he  called   his 
ficrvant  that  ministered  uuto  him, 
and  said.  Put  now  this  woman  out 
from  me,  and  bolt  the  door  after  i 
her.    And  she  had  a  garment  of  j 
divers  colours  upon  her:  for  with  | 
Bnch  robes  were  the  king's  daugh- 
tiis/M£  i«e?-e  virgins  :;pi)arelled. 
Then  his  servant  brought  her  out, 
and  bolted   the  door  after  her. 
And  Tamar  put   ashes  on   her 
head,  and  rent  her  garment  ol 
divers  colours  that  was  on  her, 
and  laid  her  hand  on  her  head, 
and  went  on  crying.    And  Absa- 
lom her  brother  said  unto  her. 
Hath  Amnon  thy  brother,  been 
with  thee?    but   hold   now  thy 
peace,  my  sister :  he  is  thy  bro- 
ther; regard  not  this  thing.    So 
Tamar  remained  desolate  in  her 
brother  Absalom's   house.      But 
when  king   David  heard  of  all 
these  things,  he  was  very  wroth. 
And  Absalom  spake  unto  his  bro- 
ther  Amnon   neither   good   nor 
bad:  for  Absalom  hated  Amnon, 
because  he  had  forced  his  sister 
Tamar.    And  Jonadab  the  son  ol 
Shiraeah,    David's    brother,    an- 
swered and  said,  Let  not  my  lord 
suppose  that  they  have  slain  all 
the  young  men  the  king's  sons 
for  Amnon  only  is  dead :  for  by 
the  appointment  of  Absalom  this 
hath  been  determined  trom  the 
day  that  he  forced  his  sister  Ta- 
mar.   Now  therefore  lei  not  my 
lord  the  king  take  the  thing  to  his 
heart,  to  think  that  all  the  king's 


MAEEIAGB. 

sons  are  dead:  for  Amnon  only  fs 
dead. 

ADULTERY  A  HEINOUS 

SIN. 

Gen.  XX,  9-11.  Then  Ablmelech 
called  Abraham,  and  said  unto 
him,  What  hast  thou  done  unto 
us?  and  what  have  I  offended 
thee,  that  thou  hast  brought  on 
me  and  on  my  kingdom  a  great 
sin?  thou  hast  done  deeds  unto 
me  that  ought  not  to  be  done. 
And  Abimtlech  said  unto  Abra- 
ham, What  sawest  thou,  that  thou 
hast  done  this  thing?  And  Abra- 
ham said.  Because  I  thought, 
Surely  the  fear  of  God  is  not  in 
this  place;  and  they  will  slay  me 
for  my  wife's  sake. 

Gen.  xxvi,  10.  And  Ablmelech 
said.  What  is  this  tliou  hast  done 
unto  us?  one  of  the  people  might 
lii;htly  have  hen  with  thy  wife, 
and  thou  shouldest  have  brought 
guiltiness  upon  us. 

Lev.  xviii,  20.  Moreover,  thou 
Shalt  not  lie  carnally  with  thy 
neighbour's  wife,  to  defile  thyself 
with  her. 

Deut.  V,  18.  Neither  shalt  thou 
commit  adultery. 

2  Sam.  xli,  13, 14.  And  David 
said  unto  Nathan.  I  have  sinned 
against  the  Loud.  And  Nathan 
said  unto  David,  The  Lord  also 
hath  put  away  thy  sin;  thou  shalt 
not  die.  Howbeit,  because  by 
this  deed  thou  hast  given  great 
occasion  to  the  enemies  of  the 
Lord  to  blaspheme,  the  child  also 
that  is  born  unto  thee  shall  surely 
die. 

Job  xxxi,  9-12.  If  mine  heart 
have  been  deceived  by  a  woman, 
or  v/I  have  laid  wait  at  my  neigh- 
bour's door;  Then  let  my  wife 
grind  unto  another,  and  let  others 
bow  down  upon  her.  For  this  is 
an  heinous  crime;  yea,  it  is  an  ini- 
quity to  be  punished  by  the 
judges.  For  it  ^  a  fire  that 
cousumeth  to  destruction,  and 
would  root  out  all  mine  increase. 
Prov.  vi,  26-29.  For  by  means 
of  a  whorish  woman  a  man  is 
brought  to  a  piece  of  bread ;  and 
the  adulteress  will  hunt  for  the 
precious  lite.  Can  a  man  take 
fire  in  his  bosom,  and  his  clothes 
not  be  burnt  ?  Can  one  go  upon 
hot  coals,  and  his  feet  not  be 
burnt?  So  he  that  goeth  in  to 
his  neighbour's  wife;  whosoever 
toucheth  her  shall  not  be  inno- 
cent. 

Matth.  V,  27.  Ye  have  heard 
that  it  was  said  by  them  of  old 
time,  Thou  shalt  not  commit  adul- 
tery. 

Mark  vi,  18, 19.  For  John  had 
said  unto  Herod.  It  is  not  lawful 
for   thee  to    liavo  thy  brother's 

wife.    Therefore  Ilerodias  had  a 
488 


qnarrel  against  hfm,  and  wonTcI 
have  killed  him;  but  she  could 
not. 

John  viii,  10,  11.  When  Jesus 
had  lilted  up  himself,  and  saw 
none  but  the  woman,  he  said  unto 
her.  Woman,  where  are  those 
thine  accusers  ?  hath  no  man  con- 
demned thee?  She  said,  No  man. 
Lord.  And  Jesus  said  unto  her. 
Neither  do  I  condemn  thee:  go, 
and  Gin  uo  more. 


Jer.  xi,  15.  What  hath  my  be- 
loved to  do  in  mine  house,  seeing 
she  hath  wrought  lewdness  with 
many,  and  the  holy  flesh  is  passed 
from  thee  ?  when  thou  doest  evil, 
then  thou  rejoicest. 

Jer.  xiil,  27.  I  have  seen  thine 
adulteries,  and  thy  neighings,  the 
lewdness  of  thy  whoredom,  and 
thine  abominations  on  the  hills  in 
the  fields.  Woe  unto  thee,  O  Jer- 
usalem! wilt  thou  not  be  made 
clean?  when  sha  U  it  once  bef 

Ezelc.  xvi,  30-32.  How  weak  is 
thine  heart,  saith  the  Lord  God, 
seeing  thou  doest  all  these  things, 
the  work  of  an  imperious  whorish 
woman;  In  that  thou  buildest 
thine  eminent  place  in  the  head 
of  every  way,  and  makest  thine 
high  place  in  every  street;  and 
hast  not  been  as  an  harlot,  in  that 
thou  scornest  hire ;  But  as  a  wife 
that  committeth  adultery,  which 
taketh  strangers  instead  of  her 
husband  1 

^2e&.xxiii,5,43-48.  And  Aholah 
played  the  harlot  when  she  was 
mine;  and  she  doted  on  her  lovers, 
on  the  Assyrians  her  neighbours. 
Then  said  1  unto  her  that  was  old 
in  adulteries,  Will  they  now  com- 
mit whoredoms  with  her,  and  she 
with  themf  Yet  they  went  in  un- 
to her,  as  they  go  in  unto  a  woman 
that  playeth  the  harlot:  so  went 
they  in  unto  Aholah  and  unto 
Aholibah,  the  lewd  women.  And 
the  righteous  men,  they  shall 
judge  them  after  the  manner  of 
adulteresses,  and  after  the  man- 
ner of  women  that  shed  blood;  be- 
cause they  are  adulteresses,  and 
blood  is  in  their  hands.  For  thus 
saith  the  Lord  God,  I  will  bring 
up  a  company  npon  them,  and 
will  give  them  to  be  removed  and 
spoiled.  And  the  company  shall 
stone  them  with  stones,  and  des- 
patch them  with  their  swords; 
they  shall  slay  their  sons  and 
their  daughters,  and  burn  up  their 
houses  with  fire.  Thus  will  I 
cause  lewdness  to  cease  out  of  the 
land,  that  all  women  may  be 
taught  not  to  do  after  your  lewd- 
ness. 

Hosea  ii,  1, 2.  Say  ye  unto  your 
brethren,  Ammi;  and  to  your  sis- 
ters, Ruhamah.  Plead  with  your 
mother,  plead;  for  she  ia  not  my

let  her  therefore  put  away  her 
whoredoms  out  of  her  8ight,  and 
her  adulteries  from  between  her 
breasta. 

Bev.  ii,  22.  Behold,  I  will  cast 
her  into  a  bed,  and  them  that 
commit  adultery  with  her  into 
great  tribulation,  except  they  re- 
pent of  their  deeds.

G^«n.  xii,16-20.  And  he  entreated 
Abram  well  for  her  sake,  and  he 
Lad  sheep,  and  oxen,  and  he-asses, 
and  meuservaiits,  and  maidser- 
vants, and  she  asses,  and  camels. 
And  the  Loud  plagued  Pharaoh 
and  liis  house  with  great  plagues 
because  of  Sarai,  Abram's  wife. 
And  Pharaoh  called  Abram,  and 
Baid,  What  is  this  that  thou  hast 
done  unto  me?  why  didst  thou  not 
tell  me  tliat  she  teas  thy  wife? 
Wliy  saidst  thou.  She  is  my  sister? 
80  I  might  have  taken  her  to  me 
to  wife;  now  therefore  behold  thy 
wife,  take  her,  and  go  thy  way. 
And  Pharaoii  commanded  his  men 
concerning  him :  and  they  sent

that  he  had.

and  restored  him  Sarah  his  wife. 

Gen.  xxxix,  7-11.  And  it  came 
to  pass  after  these  things,  that  his 
master's  wife  cast  her  eyes  upon 
Joseph;  and  slie  said,  Lie  with 
me.  But  he  refused;  and  said 
unto  his  mastei-'s  wife,  Behold, 
my  muster  wottcth  not  what  is 
with  nie  in  the  house,  and  he  hath 
committed  all  that  he  hath  to  my 
hand:  There  is  none  greater  in 
this  house  than  I;  neither  hath 
he  kept  back  any  tiling  from  me 
but  tliee,  becauhe  thou  art  his 
wife:  how  then  can  I  do  this  great 
wickedness,  and  sin  against  God? 
And  it  came  to  pass,  as  she  spake 
to  Joseph  day  by  day,  that  he 
hearkened  not  unto  her,  to  lie  by 
her,  or  to  be  wil;h  her.  And  it 
came  to  pass,  ab-ut  this  time, 
tL.t  Joseph  Avent  into  the  houso 
to  do  his  ousiness;  and  there  was 
none  of  the  men  of  the  house  there 
within,

David  sent  messengers,  and  took 
her;  and  she  came  in  unto  him, 
and  he  lay  with  her;  (for  she  wos 
pi  lifted  from  her  uncleannest;) 
and  she  returned  unto  her  house. 

1  Kings  xv,  5,  Because  David 
did  that  which  was  riglit  in  the 
«yes  ut  the  Loon,  and  turned  not 


aside  from  any  thing  that  he  com- 
manded him  all  tlie  days  of  his 
life,  save  only  in  the  matter  of 
Uriah  the  Hittite. 

Job  xxiv,  15,  16.  The  eye  also 
of  the  adulterer  waiteth  for  the 
twilight,  saying,  No  eye  shall  see 
me:  and  disguiseth  his  face.  In 
the  dark  they  dig  through  houses, 
which  they  had  marked  for  them- 
selves in  the  day-time:  they  know 
not  the  light. 

Prov.  vii,  19-21.  For  the  good-

i  bag  of  money  with  him,  and  will 
come  home  at  the  day  appointed.

him.

and  have  committed  adultery 
with  their  neighbours'  wives,  and

name,  which  I  have  not  command- 
ed them;  even  I  know;  and  am  a 
witness,  saith  the  Loed. 

Hosea  iii,  1,  3.  Then  said  the 
Lord  unto  me.  Go  yet,  love  a 
Avoman  beloved  of  her  friend,  yet 
an  adulteress,  according  to  the 
love  of  the  Loud  toward  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel,  who  look  to  other 
gods,  and  love  flagons  of  wine. 
And  I  said  unto  her,  Thou  shalt 
abide  for  me  many  days:  thou 
Shalt  not  play  the  harlot,  and  thou 
Shalt  not  be  for  another  man;  so 
will  I  also  be  for  thee.

ter, this  woman  was  taken  in 
adultery,  in  the  very  act.

lieth  carnally  with  a  woman  tliat, 
is  a  bond-maid,  betrothed  to  an 
husband,  and  not  at  all  redeemed, 
nor  freedom  given  her,  she  shall 
bo  scourged:  they  shall  not  be  put 
to  dciitii,  because  she  was  not 
free.  And  he  shall  bring  his  tres- 
pass offering  unto  the  Lord,  unto 
the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation,  even  a  ram  for  a 
trespass-offering.  And  1  he  priest 
shall  make  an  atonement  lor  him 
with  the  ram  of  the  trespass-offer- 
ing before  the  Loed,  for  his  sin 
wliich  he  hath  done:  and  the  sin

to  an  husband,  then  tliey  shall 
both  of  them  die,  both  the  man 
that  lay  with  the  woman,  and  the 
woman:  so  shalt  thou  put  away 
evil  from  Israel,  If  a  damsel  that 
is  a  virgin  be  betrothed  unto  an 
husband,  an(i  a  man  find  her  in

ye  shall  bring  them  both  out  unto  ■ 
the  gai;e  of  that  city,  and  ye  shaU 
stone  them  with  stones  that  they 
die;  the  damsel,  because  she  cried 
not,  being  in  the  city;  and  the 
man,  because  he  hath  humbled 
his  neighbour's  wife:  so  thou  shalt 
put  away  evil  from  among  you. 

John  viii,  5-7.  Now  Moses  in  the 
law  commanded  us,  that  such 
siiould  be  stoned:  but  what  sayest 
thou?  This  they  said,  tempting 
him,  that  they  might  have  to  ac- 
cuse him.  But  Jesus  stooped 
down,  and  with  his  Hnger  wiote 
on  the  ground,  as  though  he  heard 
them  not.  So  when  they  con- 
tinued asking  him,  he  lifted  up 
himself,  and  said  unto  thoin.  He 
that  is  without  sin  amon^-  you,  lot 
him  first  cast  a  stoue  at  her.

Sarai,  Abram's  wife. 

2  Sam.  xii,  10-12.  Now  therefore 
the  sword  shall  never  depart 
from  mine  house ;  because  tliou 
hast  despised  me,  and  hast 
tdien  the  wife  of  Uriah  the 
Hittite  to  be  thy  wife.  Thus 
saith  the  Loed,  Behold,  I  will 
raise  up  evil  against  thee  out  of 
tliine  own  houso,  and  I  will  take 
thy  wives  before  thine  eyes,  and 
give  them  unto  thy  neighbour, 
and  he  siiall  lie  with  thy  wives  in 
the  sight  of  this  sun.  For  thou 
didst  it  secretly:  but  1  will  do  this 
thing  before  all  Israel,  and  before 
the  sun. 

Frov.  vi,  32,  33,  But  whoso  com- 
miiteth  adultery  with  a  woman 
iacketh  understanding:  he  that

A  wound  and  dishonour  shall  he 
get;  and  his  reproach  shall  not  be 
wiped  away. 

Jer.  V,  8,  9,  They  were  as  fed 
horses  in  the  morning:  every  one 
neighed  after  bis  neighbc^ur's 
wife.  Shall  I  not  visit  for  these 
things?  saith  the  Lord  :  and  shall 
not  my  soul  be  avenged  on  sucU 
a  nation  as  this? 

Ezek\  xvi,  38-40.  And  I  will 
judge  thee,  as  women  that  break 
wedlock    and    shed    blood   are 


ftiflpred;  anri  I  will  give  thee  Woofl 
in  fury  and  jealousy.  And  I  will 
also  give  theo  into  their  hand, 
and  they  shall  throw  down  thine 
eminent  plice,  and  shall  break 
down  thy  high  plac:>s:  they  shall 
Bfrip  thee  also  of  thy  clothes,  and 
iBhall  take  thy  fair  jewels,  and 
leave  thee  naked  and  bare.  They 
shall  also  bring  up  a  company 
against  thee,  and  they  shall  stone 
thee  with  stones,  and  thrust  thee 
through  with  their  swords. 

Ezeli.  xxxiil,  26.  Ye  stand  upon

the  land? 

JEALOUSY. 
Gen.  xxxix.  19.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  wlien  his  master  heard  the 
j  words  of  his  wife,  which  she  spake 
nnto  him,  saying,  After  this  man- 
ner did  thy  servant  to  me;  that  his 
wrath  was  kindled. 

Prov.  vi,  34.  33.  For  jealousy  is 
the  rage  of  a  man;  therefore  he 
will  not  spare  in  the  day  of  his 
vengeance.  He  will  not  regard 
any  ransom;  neither  will  he  rest 
content,  though  thou  givest  many 
gifts. 


2  Qor.  xl,  2.  For  I  am  jealous 
over  you  with  godly  jealously:  for 
1  have  espoused  you  to  one  hu?;- 
band,  that  I  may  present  you  as  a 
Chaste  virgin  to  Christ. 

ORnEAI.. 

Num.  V,  12-31.  Speak  tinto  the 
children  of  Israel,  and  say  unto 
them.  If  any  man's  wife  go  aside, 
and  commit  a  trespass  against 
him,  And  a  man  lie  with  her 
carnally,  and  it  be  hid  from  the 
eyes  of  her  husband,  and  be  kept 
close,  and  she  be  defiled,  and  there 
he  no  witness  against  her,  neither 
Bhe  be  taken  with  the  manner; 
And  the  spirit  of  jealousy  come 
upon  him,  and  he  be  jealous  of  his 
wife,  and  she  be  defiled ;  or  if  tlie 
spirit  of  jealousy  come  upon  him, 
and  he  be  jealous  of  his  wife,  and 
she  be  not  defiled:  Then  shall  the 
man  bring  his  wife  unto  the  priest, 
and  he  shall  bring  her  offering  for 
ber,  the  tenth  part  of  an  ephah 
of  barley -meal;  he  shall  pour 
no  oil  upon  it,  nor  put  frank- 
Incense  thereon ;  for  It  is  an 
oiTeriug  of  jealousy,  an  offering  of 
memorial,  bringing  iniquity  to 
remembrance.  And  the  priest 
shall  bring  her  near,  and  set  her 
before  the  Lord.  And  the  priest 
shall  take  holy  water  in  an 
earthen  vessel;  and  of  the  dust 
that  is  in  the  floor  of  the  taber- 
nacle the  priest  shall  take,  and  put 
U  into  the  water.  And  the  priest 
shall  set  the  woman  before  the 
LoBD,  and  uncover  tiie  woman's 
head,  and  put  the  offering  of  me-

mortal  In  her  hands,  wiilch  is  the 
jealousy  offering:  and  the  priest 
shall  have  in  his  hand  the  bitter 
water  that  causeth  the  curse.  And 
the  priest  shall  charge  her  by  an 
oath,  and  say  unto  the  woman.  If 
no  man  have  lain  with  thee,  and 
if  thou  hast  not  gone  aside  to  un- 
cleanness  loith  another  instead  of 
thy  husband,  be  thou  free  from 
this  biiter  water  that  causeth  the 
curse:  But  if  thou  hast  gone  aside 
to  another  instead  of  thy  husband, 
and  if  thou  be  defiled,  and  some 
man  have  lain  with  thee  beside 
tldne  husband:  Tiien  the  priest 
shall  charge  the  woman  with  an 
oath  of  cursing;  and  the  priest 
sliall  say  unto  the  woman,  The 
Lord  make  thee  a  curse  and  an 
oath  among  thy  people,  when  the 
Lord  doth  make  thy  thigh  to  rot, 
and  thy  belly  to  swell:  And  tills 
water  that  causeth  the  curse  shall 
go  into  thy  bowels,  to  make  thy 
belly  to  swell,  and  thy  thigh  to 
rot.  And  the  woman  shall  siy, 
Amen,  amen.  And  the  priest  shall 
write  these  curses  in  a  book,  and 
he  shall  blot  them  out  with  the 
bitter  water;  And  he  shall  cause 
the  woman  to  drink  the  bitter 
water  that  causeth  the  curse : 
and  the  water  that  causeth 
the  curse  shall  enter  into  her, 
and  l)eco77ie  bitter.  Then  the 
priest  shall  take  the  jealousy 
offering  out  of  the  woman's 
hand,  and  shall  wave  the  offering 
before  the  Lord,  and  offer  it  upon 
the  altar.  And  the  priest  shall 
take  an  handful  of  the  offering, 
even  the  memorial  thereof;,  and 
burn  it  upon  the  altar,  and  after- 
ward shall  cause  the  woman  to 
drink  the  water.  And  when  he 
hath  made  her  to  drink  the  water, 
then  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that,  if 
she  be  defiled,  and  have  done 
trespass  against  her  liusband,  that 
the  water  that  causeth  the  curse 
shall  enter  into  her,  and  become 
bitter,  and  her  belly  shall  swell, 
and  her  thigh  shall  rot:  and  the 
woman  shall  be  a  curse  among 
her  people.  And  if  the  woman  be 
not  defiled,  but  be  clean;  then 
she  shall  be  free,  and  shall  con- 
ceive seed.  This  is  the  law  of 
jealousies,  when  a  wife  goeth 
aside  to  another  instead  of  her 
husband,  and  is  defiled;  Or  when 
the  spirit  of  jealousy  cometh  upon 
him,  and  he  be  jealous  over  his 
wife,  and  shall  set  the  woman  be- 
fore the  Lord,  and  the  priest  shall 
execute  upon  her  all  this  law. 
Then  shall  the  man  be  guiltless 
from  iniquity,  and  this  woman 
shall  bear  her  iniquity. 

CHASTITY  AND  MODESTY 

COMMANDED. 

1  Thess.  iv,  3-6,7.  For  this  is  the 

will  of  God,  even  your  sanctiflca- 

tion,  that  ye  sliould  abstain  from 

fornication :   That  every  one  of 

440 


yon  should  know  how  to  posecsg 
his  vessel  in  sanctilication  and 
honour;  Not  in  tlie  lust  of  con- 
cupiscence, even  as  the  Gentiles 
wliich  know  not  God.  For  God 
hath  not  called  us  unto  unclean- 
ness,  but  unto  holiness. 

2  Tim.  11,  22.  Flee  also  youthful 
lusts:  but  follow  righteousness, 
faith,  charity,  peace,  with  them 
that  call  on  the  Lord  out  of  a  pure 
heart. 

1  Peter  ii,  11.  Dearly  beloved,  I 
beseech  you,  as  strangers  and  pil- 
grims, abstain  frc^m  fleshly  lusts, 
which  war  against  the  souh 


Gen.  xxlv,  63-65.  And  Isaac 
went  out  to  meditate  in  the  field 
at  the  even-tide;  and  he  lifted  up 
his  eyes,  and  saw,  and,  behold, 
tlie  camels  were  coming.  And 
Rebekah  lifted  up  her  eyes;  and 
when  she  saw  Isaac,  she  lighted 
off  the  camel.  For  she  had  said 
unto  tlie  servant,  What  man  is 
this  that  walketh  in  the  field  to 
meet  us?  And  the  servant  had 
said.  It  is  my  master:  therefore 
she  took  a  vail,  and  covered  her- 
self. 

LEWDNESS. 

Gen.  XX,  16.  And  unto  Sarah 
he  said,  Behold,  I  have  given  thy 
brothera  thousand  pieces  of  silver: 
behold,  he  is  to  tliee  a  covering  of 
the  eyes,  unto  ad  tliat  are  with 
thee,  and  with  all  other:  thus  she 
was  reproved. 

Gen.  xxxix,  11, 12.  And  it  came 
to  pass  about  this  time,  that 
Joseph  went  into  the  house  to  do 
his  business;  and  there  teas  none 
of  the  men  of  the  house  there 
within.  And  she  caught  him  by 
his  garment,  saying,  Lie  with  me: 
and  he  left  his  garment  in  her 
hand,  and  fled,  and  got  him  out. 

Lev.  XX.  17.  And  if  a  man  shall 
take  his  sister,  his  father's  daugh- 
ter, or  his  mother's  daughter,  and 
see  her  nakedness,  and  she  see  his 
nakedness;  it  is  a  wicked  thing; 
and  they  shall  be  cut  off  in  the 
sight  of  their  people:  he  hath  un- 
covered his  sister's  nakedness;  he 
shall  bear  his  iniquity. 

Deut.  xxii.  5.  The  woman  shall 
not  wear  that  which  pertaineth 
unto  a  man,  neither  shall  a  man 
put  on  a  woman's  garment:  for  all 
that  do  so  are  abomination  unto 
the  Lord  thy  God. 

Deut.  XXV,  11,  12,  When  men 
strive  together  one  with  another, 
and  the  wife  of  the  one  draweth 
near  for  to  deliver  her  husband 
out  of  the  hand  of  him  that  smit- 
eth  him,  and  putteth  forth  her 
hand,  and  taketh  him  by  the 
secrets:  Then  thou  shalt  cut  off 
her  hand,  thhie  eye  shall  not  pity 
her. 


MARRIAGE. 


Job  xxxi,  1,  I  made  a  covenant 
witli  mine  eyes:  why  then  should 
I  think  upon  a  maid. 

Prov.  V,  3.  For  the  lips-  of  a 
strange  woman  drop  as  an  lioney- 
comb,  and  her  mouth  is  smoother 
tlian  oil. 

Prov.  vi,  25.  Lust  not  after  her 
beauty  in  tliiue  heart;  neitlier  let 
her  taive  thee  with  her  eyelids. 

Prov.  xxiii,  28.  She  also  lielh  in 
wait  as /or  a  prey,  and  increaseth 
the  transgressors  among  men. 

Ezek.  xxiii,  14,  16,  19-21.  And 
that  she  Increased  her  whore- 
doms :  for  when  she  saw  men 
portrayed  upon  the  wall,  the 
images  of  tlie  Chaldeans  pour- 
trayed  with  Vermillion,  And  as 
soon  as  she  saw  them  with  her  eyes, 
she  doted  upon  tliem,  and  sent 
messengers  unto  them  into  Chal- 
dea.  Yet  she  multiplied  her 
whoredoms,  in  calling  to  remem- 
brance the  days  of  her  youth, 
wherein  she  had  played  the  harlot 
In  the  land  of  Egypt.  For  she 
dotedupon  theirparamours,  whose 
flesh  is  as  the  flesh  of  asses,  and 
wliose  issue  is  like  the  issue  of 
htjrses.  Thus  thou  calledst  to  re- 
membrance the  lewdness  of  thy 
yuutli,  in  bruising  thy  teats  by  the 
Egyptians  for  the  paps  of  thy 
youth. 

3Iatth.  y,  28.  But  I  say  unto  you, 
That  whosoever  looketh  on  a 
woman  to  lust  after  her,  hath 
committed  adultery  with  her  al- 
readyin  his  heart. 

Eph.  Iv,  19.  Who,  being  past 
feeling,  have  given  themselves 
over  unto  lasciviousnesa,  to  work 
all  uncleanness  with  greediness. 

£ph.\,SA.12.  But  fornication 
inil  all  uncleanness,  or  covetoiis- 
ne8S,let  it  notbeoncenamed  among 
you,  as  becometh  saints;  Neitlier 
filthiness,  nor  foolish  talking,  nor 
jesting,  which  are  not  convenient; 
but  rather  giving  of  thanks.  For 
It  is  a  shame  even  to  speak  of 
those  things  which  are  done  of 
them  in  secret. 

1  Tim.  v,  6.  But  she  that  liveth 
In  pleasure  is  dead  while  she 
liveih. 

James  y,  5.  Ye  have  lived  in 
pleasure  on  the  earth,  and  been 
wuiton;  ye  have  nourished  your 
hc.irts,  as  in  a  day  of  slaughter. 

1  Peter  iv,  3,  4.  For  the  time 
past  of  our  life  may  suffice  us  to 
have  wrought  the  will  of  the 
Gentiles,  when  we  walked  in 
lasciviousnesd,  lusts,  excess  of 
wino,  revellings,  banquetings,  and 
abominable  Idolatries:  Wtiereiu 
tlK'y  think  it  strange  that  ye  run 
not  with  them  to  the  same  excess 
of  riot,  speaking  evil  of  you. 

2  Peter  ii,  14,  18.  Having  eyes 
full  of  adultery,  and  that  canuoi 


cease  from  sin;  beguiling  unstable 
Sduls:  an  heart  they  have  exer- 
cised with  covetous  practices; 
cursed  children:  For  when  they 
speak  great  swelling  words  ot 
vanity,  they  allure  tlirough  the 
lusts  of  the  flesh,  through  much 
wantonness,  those  that  were 
clean  escaped  from  them  who  live 
in  error. 

Jude  8.  Likewise  also  these 
JUihy  dreamers  defile  the  flesh. . . . 

Cautions  Against  It. 

Prov.  n,  16.  To  deliver  thee 
from  the  strange  woman,  eve7i 
from  the  stranger  which  flattereth 
with  her  words. 

Prov.  y,  8.  Remove  thy  way  far 
from  her,  and  come  not  nigh  the 
door  of  her  house. 

Prov.  vi,  24.  To  keep  thee  from 
the  evil  woman,  from  the  flattery 
of  the  tongue  of  a  strange  wo- 
man. 

Prow,  vii,  4-9,  24-26.  Say  unto 
wisdom.  Thou  art  my  sister;  and 
call  understanding  thy  kins- 
woman: That  they  may  keep 
thee  from  the  strange  woman, 
from  the  stranger  lohich  flattereth 
with  her  words.  For  at  the  win- 
dow of  my  house  I  looked  through 
my  casement,  And  beheld  among 
the  simple  ones,  I  discerned 
among  the  youths,  a  young  man 
void  of  understanding.  Passing 
through  the  street  near  her  cor- 
ner: and  he  went  the  way  to  her 
house.  In  the  twilight,  in  the 
evening,  in  the  black  and  dark 
night;  Hearken  unto  me  now 
therefore,  O  ye  children,  and 
attend  to  the  words  of  my 
mouth.  Let  not  thine  heart  decline 
to  her  ways,  go  not  astray  in  her 
paths.  For  she  hath  cast  down 
many  wounded;  yea,  many  strong 
men  have  been  slain  by  her. 

FORNICATION. 

Prov.  xxxi,  8.  Give  not  thy 
strength  unto  women,  nor  thy 
way?  to  that  which  destroyeth 
kings. 

1  (7or.  vl,  13-18.  Meats  for  the 
belly,  and  the  belly  for  meats: 
but  God  shall  destroy  both  it  and 
them.  Now  the  body  is  not  for 
fornication,  but  for  the  Lord,  and 
the  Lord  for  the  body.  And  God 
both  both  raised  up  the  Lord,  and 
will  also  raise  up  as  by  his  own 
power.  Know  ye  not  that  your 
bodies  are  the  members  of  Christ? 
siiall  I  then  take  the  members  ot 
Christ,  and  make  them  the  mem- 
bers of  an  harlot?  God  forbid. 
What!  know  ye  not  that  he  which 
is  joined  to  an  harlot  is  one  body? 
for  two  (saith  he)  shall  be  one 
flesh.  But  he  that  is  joined  unto 
the  Lord  Is  one  spirit.  Flee 
fornication.  Every  sin  that  a 
man  doeth  is  without  the  body; 
441 


but  he  that  commiftcth  fornica- 
tion sinneth  against  his  own 
body. 

1  Qor.  X,  8.  Neither  let  us  com- 
mit fornication,  as  some  of 'them 
committed,  and  fell  in  one  day 
three  and  twenty  thousand. 

Heb.  xii,  16.  Lest  there  be  any 
fornicator,  or  profane  person,  as 
Esau,  who  for  one  moriiel  of  meat 
sold  his  birthright. 

Pev.  ii,  14.  But  I  have  a  few 
things  against  thee,  because  thou 
hast  there  them  that  hold  the 
doctrine  of  Balaam,  who  taught 
Balac  to  cast  a  stumblingbloclc 
before  the  children  of  Israel,  to 
eat  things  sacrillced  unto  idols, 
and  to  commit  fornication. 

Instances  with  Aggravations. 

Ge7i.  xxxviii,  25,  26.  When  she 
ivas  brought  forth,  she  sent  to 
her  father-in-law,  saying.  By  the 
man  whom  these  are,  am  1  with 
child:  and  she  said.  Discern,  I 
pray  thee,  whose  are  these,  the 
signet,  and  bracelets,  and  stafl". 
And  Judah  acknowledged  them, 
and  said.  She  hath  been  more 
righteous  than  I;  because  that  1 
gave  her  not  to  Shelali  my  son: 
and  he  knew  her  again  no  more. 

Num.  XXV,  1,  6,  14,  15.  And 
Israel  abode  in  Shittim,  and  the 
people  began  to  commit  whore- 
dom with  the  daughters  of  Muab. 
And,  behold,  one  of  the  children  of 
Israel  came  and  brought  unto  his 
brethren  a  Midianitish  woman,  in 
the  sight  of  Moses,  and  in  the 
sight  of  all  the  congregation  of 
the  children  of  Israel,  who  were 
weeping  before  the  door  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation. 
Now  the  name  of  the  Israelite 
that  was  slain,  even  that  was  slain 
with  the  Midianitish  woman,  was 
Zimri,  the  sou  of  Salu,  a  prince  of 
a  chief  house  among  the  Simeon- 
ites.  And  the  name  of  the  Mid- 
ianitish woman  that  was  slaimoas 
Cozbi,  the  daughter  of  Zur;  he 
ivas  head  over  a  people,  and  of  a 
chief  house  in  Midlan. 

Judges  xix,  25,  26.  But  the  men 
would  not  hearken  to  him:  so  the 
man  took  his  concubine,  and 
brought  her  forth  unto  them;  and 
they  knew  her,  and  abused  her 
all  the  night  until  the  morning: 
and  when  the  day  began  to  spring, 
they  let  her  go.  Then  came  the 
woman  in  tlie  dawning  of  the 
day,  and  fell  down  at  the  door  of 
the  man's  house  where  her  lord 
toas,  till  it  was  light.

Of  judgment;  righteousness  lodged 
In  It:  but  now  murderers. 

/sa.  xxiii,  17.  And  it  shall  come 
to  pass,  after  the  end  of  seventy 
years,  that  the  Lord  will  visit 
Tyre,  and  she  shall  turn  to  lier 
hire,  and  shall  commit  fornica- 
tion with  all  the  kingdoms  of 
the  world  upon  the  face  of  the 
earth. 

Isa.  Ivll,  7,  8.  Upon  a  lofty  and 
high  mountain  liast  thou  set  thy 
bed,  even  tliitlier  wenteat  thou 
tip  to  offer  sacrifice.  Behind  the 
doors  also  and  tlie  posts  hast  tliou 
set  up  thy  reraeinbrance:  for  thou 
hast  discovered  thy>ielf  to  another 
than  me,  and  art  gone  up;  thou 
hast  enlarged  thy  bed,  and  made 
thee  a  covenant  with  tliera;  thou 
lovedst  their  bed  where  thou 
sawest  it. 

Jer.  ii,  20.  For  of  old  time  I 
have  hrolcen  thy  yoke,  and  burst 
thy  bands;  and  thou  saidst,  I  will 
not  transgress;  when  upon  every 
high  hill  and  under  every  green 
tree  thou  wanderest,  playing  the 
harlot. 

Jer.  m,  2,6,9.  Lift  up  thine 
eyes  unto  the  liigh  places,  and  see 
where  tlinu  hast  not  been  lien 
with.  In  the  ways  hast  thou  sat 
for  them,  as  the  Arabian  in  the 
wilderness;  and  thou  hast  pollut- 
ed the  land  with  thy  whoredoms 
and  with  tliy  wickedness.  The 
Lord  said  also  unto  me  in  the 
days  of  Josiah  the  king,  Hast 
thou  seen  that  wliich  backsliding 
Israel  hath  done?  she  is  gone  up 
npon  every  high  mountain  and 
under  every  green  tree,  and 
there  hath  played  the  harlot. 
And  it  came  to  pass,  through  the 
lightness  of  her  whoredom,  that 
she  defiled  the  land,  and  com- 
mitted adultery  with  stones  and 
with  stocks. 

Ezek.  xvi,  7,  16,  25-29,  57,  58. 
I  have  caused  thie  to  multiply  as 
the  bud  of  the  field,  and  thou  hast 
Increased  and  waxen  great,  and 
thou  art  come  to  excellent  orna- 
ments: thy  breasts  are  fasliioned, 
and  thine  liair  is  grown,  whereas 
thou  loast  naked  and  bare.  And 
of  thy  garments  thou  didst  take, 
and  deckedst  thy  liigh  places 
with  divers  colours,  and  playedst 
the  harlot  thereupon:  the  like 
things  shall  not  come,  neither 
shall  it  be  so.  Thou  hast  built 
thy  high  place  at  every  head  of 
tiie  way,  and  hast  made  thy  beauty 
to  be  abhorred,  and  hast  opened 
thy  feet  to  ev(^ry  one  tliat  passed 
by,  and  multii)lied  thy  whore- 
doms. Thou  hast  also  committed 
fornication  witli  the  Egy[)tians 
thy  neiglibours,  great  of  flesh;  and 
hast  increased  tliy  whoredoms,  to 
provoke  nie  to  atigrr.  Behold, 
therefore  1  have  stretched  out  my 


hand  over  thee,  and  have  dimin- 
ished thine  ordinary /oo^i,  and  de- 
livered thee  unto  the  will  of  them 
that  hate  thee,  the  daughters  of 
the  Philistines,  which  are  asham- 
ed of  thy  lewd  way.  Thou  hast 
playefl  the  whore  also  with  the 
Assyrians,  because  thou  wast  un- 
satlablo;  yea,  tliou  hast  played  the 
harlot  with  them,  and  yet  could- 
estnot  be  satisfied.  Thou  hast 
moreover  multiplied  tlgr  fornica- 
tion in  the  land  of  Canaan  unto 
Chuldea;  and  yet  thou  wast  not 
satisfied  herewith.  Before  thy 
wickedness  was  discovered,  as  at 
the  time  of  thy  reproach  of  tlie 
daughters  of  Syria,  and  all  that 
are  round  about  her,  the  daugh- 
ters of  the  Philistines,  which 
despise  tliee  round  about.  Thou 
iiast  borne  thy  lewdness  and 
thine  abominations,  saith  the 
Lord. 

Ezek.  XX,  30.  Wherefore  say 
unto  the  house  of  Israel,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God,  Are  ye 
polluted  after  the  manner  of  your 
fathers?  and  commit  ye  whoredom 
after  their  abomiaatious? 

Ezek.  xxiii,  2,  3,  7,  8,  11-13,  17, 
35.  Son  of  man,  there  were  two 
women,  the  daughters  of  one 
motlier;  And  tliey  committed 
whoredoms  In  Egypt;  they  com- 
mitted whoredoms  in  their  youth: 
there  were  their  breasts  pressed, 
and  there  they  bruised  the  teats 
of  their  virginity.  Thus  she 
committed  her  whoredoms  with 
them,  with  all  them  that  were  the 
chosen  men  of  Assyria,  and  with 
all  on  whom  she  doted:  with  all 
their  idols  she  defiled  herself. 
Neither  left  she  her  whoredoms 
brought  from  Egypt:  for  in  her 
youth  they  lay  with  her,  and  they 
bruised  the  breasts  of  her  virgin- 
ity, and  poured  their  whoredom 
upon  her.  And  when  her  sister 
Aholibah  saw  this,  she  was  more 
corrupt  in  her  inordinate  love 
than  she,  and  in  her  whoredoms 
more  than  her  sister  in  her  whore- 
doms. She  doted  upon  the  As- 
syrians her  neighbours,  captains 
and  rulers  clothed  most  gorge- 
ously, horsemen  riding  upon 
horses,  all  of  them  desirable 
young  men.  Then  I  saw  that  she 
was  defiled,  that  they  took  both 
one  way.  And  the  Babylonians 
came  to  her  into  the  bed  of  love, 
and  they  defiled  her  with  their 
whoredom;  and  she  was  polluted 
witli  them,  and  her  mind  was 
alienated  from  them.  Therefore 
thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  Because 
thou  hast  forgotten  me,  and  cast 
me  behind  thy  back,  therefore 
bear  thou  also  thy  lewdness  and 
thy  whoredoms. 

Hosea  iv,  12.    My  people  ask 

counstjl  at  their  stocks,  and  their 

staff  declareth  unto  them:  for  the 

spirit  of  whoredoms  hath  caused 

442 


them  to  err,  an<l  they  have  gone 
a  whoring  from  under  their  Go  i. 
Hosea  v,  3, 4.  I  know  Ephraim, 
and  Israel  is  not  hid  from  me:  for 
now,  O  Ephraim,  thou  committcst 
whoredom,  and  Israel  is  defiled. 
They  will  not  frame  their  doings 
to  turn  unto  their  God:  for  the 
spirit  of  whoredoms  is  in  the 
midst  of  them,  and  they  have  not 
known  the  Lord. 

Hosea  vi,  9, 10.  And  aa  troops 
of  robbers  wait  for  a  man,  so  the 
company  of  priests  murder  in  tlie 
way  by  consent:  for  they  commit 
lewdness.  I  have  seen  an  horrible 
thing  In  the  house  of  Israel;  there 
is  the  whoredom  of  Ephraim, 
Israel  is  defiled. 

Hosea  Ix,  1.  Rejoice  not;  O 
Israel,  for  Joy,  as  other  people: 
for  thou  hast  gone  a  whoring  from 
thy  God;  thou  hast  loved  a  reward- 
upon  every  corn-floor. 

Rev.  xvH,  1-5, 16-18.  And  there 
came  one  of  the  seven  angels 
which  had  the  seven  vials,  and 
talked  with  me,  saying  unto  me. 
Come  hither;  I  will  shew  unto 
thee  the  judgment  of  the  great 
whore  that  sitteth  upon  mnny 
waters:  With  whom  the  kings 
of  the  earth  have  committed  for- 
nication, and  the  inhabitants  ot 
the  earth  have  been  made  drunk 
with  the  wine  of  her  fornication. 
So  he  carried  me  away  in  the 
spirit  into  the  wilderness:  and  I 
saw  a  woman  sit  upon  a  scarlet- 
coloured  beast,  full  of  names  of 
blasphemy,  having  seven  heads 
and  ten  horns.  And  the  woman 
was  arrayed  in  purple  and  scarlet 
colour,  and  decked  with  gold,  and 
precious  stones,  and  pearls,  having 
a  golden  cup  in  her  hand  full  of 
abominations  and  filth iness  of  her 
fornication:  And  upon  her  fore- 
head was  a  name  written,  MYS- 
TERY, BABYLON  THE  GREAT, 
THE  MOTHER  OF  HARLOTS 
AND  ABOMINATIONS  OF  THE 
EARTH.  And  he  Rait h  unto  me. 
The  waters  which  thou  sawest, 
where  the  whore  sitteth,  are  peo- 
ples, and  multitudes,  and  nations, 
and  tongues.  And  the  ten  horns 
wiiich  thou  sawest  upon  the  beast, 
these  shall  hate  the  wliore,  and 
sliall  make  her  desolate  and 
naked,  and  shall  eat  her  fiesh,  and 
burn  her  with  fire.  For  God  hath 
put  in  their  hearts  to  fulfil  his 
will,  and  to  agree,  and  give  their 
kingdom  unto  the  beast,  until  the 
words  of  God  shall  be  fulfilled. 
And  the  woman  which  thou  saw- 
est is  that  great  city,  which  reign- 
eth  over  the  kings  of  the  earth. 

Eev.  xvlll,  3.  For  all  nations 
have  drunk  of  the  wine  of  the 
wrath  of  her  fornication,  and  the 
kings  of  the  earth  have  committed 
fornic.ition  with  her,  and  tlio 
merchants  of  the  earth  are  waxed 


rich  through  the  abnndanco  of 

her  delicacies. 

Eev  x\j.,  2.  For  true  and  right- 
eous are  his  judgments:  for  he 
hath  judged  tlie  great  whore, 
wliich  did  corrupt  tbe  earth  with 
her  fornicatiou,  and  hath  avenged 
tiie  blood  of  his  BeiTants  at  her 
hand. 

Law  of  Moses  Aoainst 
Fornication. 

Gen.  xxxviii,  24.  And  it  came  to 
pass  about  three  months  after,  that 
it  was  told  Judah,  saying,  Tamar 
thy  daugliter  in  law  hath  played 
the  harlot;  and  also,  behold,  she 
is  with  child  by  whoredom.  Aud 
Judah  said,  Bring  her  fortb^  and 
let  her  be  burnt. 

Exod.  xxii,'l6, 17.  And  if  a  man 
entice  a  maid  that  is  not  betrothed, 
ami  lie  with  her;  he  shall  surely 
endow  her  to  be  his  wife.  If  her 
father  utterly  refuse  to  give  her 
unto  him,  he  shall  pay  money 
according  to  the  dowry  of  virgins. 

Lev.  xxi,  9.  And  the  daughter 
of  any  priest,  if  she  profane  her- 
self by  playing  the  whore,  she 
profaneth  her  lather:  she  shall  he 
burnt  with  fire. 

Num.  XXV,  7, 8  And  when  Phine- 
has,  the  son  of  Eleazar,  the  son  of 
Aaron  the  priest,  saw  it,  he  rose 
up  from  among  the  congregation, 
and  took  a  javehn  in  his  hand; 
A:id  he  went  after  the  man  of 
Israel  into  the  tent,  and  thrust 
both  of  them  through,  the  man 
of  Israel,  and  the  woman  through 
her  belly.  So  the  plague  was 
stayed  from  the  children  of  Israel. 

Deut.  xxii,  21,  28,  29.  Then  they 
shall  bring  out  the  damsel  to  the 
door  of  her  father's  house,  and  the 
men  of  her  city  sliall  stone  her 
with  stones  that  she  die;  because 
she  hath  wrought  folly  in  Israel, 
to  play  the  whore  In  her  father's 
house:  so  shall  thou  put  evil  away 
from  among  you.  If  a  man  find  a 
damsel  that  is  a  virgin,  which  is 
not  betrothed,  and  lay  hold  on 
her,  and  lie  with  her,  and  they  be 
found;  Then  the  man  that  lay  with 
her  shall  give  unto  the  damsel's 
father  fifty  shekels  of  silver,  aud 
she  shall  be  his  wife;  because  he 
hath  humbled  her,  he  may  not 
put  her  away  all  his  days.

when  they  commit  whoredom, 
nor  your  spouses  when  they  com-

body  are  consumed.  And  say, 
How  have  I  hated  instruction,  and 
my  heart  despised  reproof;  And 
have  not  obeyed  the  voice  of  my 
teachers,  nor  inclined  mine  ear  to 
them  that  instructed  me!  I  was 
almost  in  all  evil  in  the  midst  of 
the  congregation  and  assembly. 

Prov.  vii,  26.  For  she  hath  cast

strong  men  have  been  slain  by 
her.

Should  he  deal  with  our  sister  as 
with  an  harlot  ? 

Gen.  xxxviii,  23.  And  Judah 
said.  Let  her  take  it  to  her,  lest 
we  be  shamed:  behold,  I  sent  this 
kid,  and  tliou  hast  not  found  her. 

Job  xxiv,  17, 18.  For  the  morn- 
ing is  to  them  even  as  the  shadow 
of  death:  it  one  know  them,  they 
are  in  the  terrors  of  the  shadow 
of  death,  lie  is  swift  as  the 
waters;  their  portion  is  cursed  in 
the  earth:  he  beholdeth  not  the 
way  of  the  vineyards.

Prw.  V,  4,  5.  But  her  end  is

her;  but  the  sinner  shall  be  taken 
by  her.

an  idolater,  hath  any  inheritance 
in  the  kingdom  of  Christ  and  of 
God. 

PROSTITUTION. 

Gen.  xxxviii,  15,  16.  When 
Judah  saw  her,  he  thought  lier  to 
be  an  harlot:  because  she  had 
covered  her  face.  And  he  turned 
unto  her  by  the  way,  and  said,  Go 
to,  I  pray  thee,  let  me  come  in 
unto  thee;  (for  he  knew  not  that 
she  was  his  daughter-in-law.)  And 
she  said.  What  wilt  thou  give  me, 
that  thou  mayest  come  in  unto 
me? 

Lev.  xix,  29.  Do  not  prostitute

wickedness.

is  holy  unto  his  God.

saying.  Come  up  this  once;  for  ho 
hath  shewed  me  all  his  heart. 
Then  the  lords  of  the  Philistines 
came  up  unto  her,  and  brought 
money  in  their  hand. 

1  Kings  iii,  16.  Then  came  there 
two  women  that  were  liarlots  unto

Prov.  ii,  17.  Which  forsaketh 
the  guide  of  her  youth,  and  for- 
getteth  the  covenant  of  her  God. 

Prov.  v,  6.  Lest  thou  shouldest 
ponder  the  path  of  life,  her  ways 
are  moveable,  that  thou  canst  not 
know  them. 

Prov.  vii,  10-12.  And,  behold, 
there  met  him  a  woman  with  the 
attire  of  an  harlot,  and  subtil  of 
heart,  (She  is  loud  and  stubborn;

Now  is  she  without,  now  in  the 
streets,  and  lieth  in  wait  at  every 
corner.)

strange  women  is  a  deep  pit :  he

come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that 
Tyre  shall  be  forgotten  seventy 
years,  according  to  the  days  oi  one 
king:  after  the  end  of  seventy 
years  shall  Tyre  sing  as  an  harlot. 
Take  an  harp,  go  about  the 
City,  thou  harlot  Uiat  hast  heen 


forgotten;  make  sweet  melody. 
Bng  many  sonjjs,  that  thou  mayest 
be  rtmemberell. 

Jer.  ill,  3.  Therefore  the  showers 
have  been  withholden,  and  there 
hath  been  no  Litter  rain;  and  thou 
hadst  a  whore's  forehead,  thou  re- 
fusedst  to  be  ashamed. 

Ezek.  xvl,  33-35,  41.  They  give 
gitu  to  all  whores;  but  tliou  givest 
thy  gifts  to  all  thy  lovers,  and 
hirest  tliem,  that  they  may  come 
unto  thee  on  every  side  for  thy 
whoredom.  And  the  contrary  is 
in  thee  from  oilier  women  in 
thy  whoredoms,  wliereas  none 
fuUoweth  thee  to  commit  whore- 
doms: and  in  tliat  tliou  givest 
a  reward,  and  no  reward  is 
given  unto  thee;  therefore  thou 
art  contrary.  Wherefore,  O  har- 
lot, liear  the  word  of  the  Lord: 
And  they  shall  burn  thine  houses 
with  fire,  and  execute  judgments 
up(m  thee  in  the  sight  of  many 
women:  and  I  will  cause  thee  to 
cease  from  playing  the  harlot,  and 
thou  also  Shalt  give  no  liire  any 
more.

not  enter  into  the  congregation

the  congregation  of  the  Lord.

the  Gileadite  was  a  mighty  man 
of  valour,  and  he  was  the  son  of

thah. And  Gilead's  wife  bare  him 
sons:  and  his  wife's  sons  grew  up, 
and  they  thrust  out  Jephthah,

Inherit  in  our  lather's  house;  for 
thou  art  the  son  of  a  strange 
woman.

God.

his :  and  it  came  to  pass,  when  he 
went  in  unto  his  brother's  wife, 
that  he  spilled  it  on  the  ground, 
lest  that  he  should  give  seed  to 
his  brother.  And  the  thing  which 
he  dill  displeased  the  Lord;  where- 
fore he  slew  him  also.

ment, and  every  skin,  whereon  is 
the  seed  of  copulation,  shall  be 
washed  with  water,  and  be  un-

and  is  deliled  therewith. 

Lev.    xviii,   23,   24,   26,   28-30. 

Neither  shalt  thou  lie  with  any 
beast  to  defile  thyself  therewith; 
neither  shall  any  woman  stand 
before  a  beast  to  lie  down  thereto: 
it  is  confusion.  Defile  not  ye 
yourselves  in  any  of  these  things: 
for  in  all  these  the  nations  are 
defiled  which  I  cast  out  before 
you.  Ye  shall  therefore  keep 
my  statutes  and  my  judgments, 
and  shall  not  commit  any  of 
these  abominations;  neither  any 
of  your  own  nation,  nor  any 
stranger  that  sojourneth  among 
you.  That  the  land  spue  not  you 
out  also,  when  ye  defile  it,  as  it 
spued  out  the  nations  that  were 
before  you.  For  whosoever  shall 
commit  any  of  these  abominations, 
even  the  souls  that  commit  them 
shall  be  cut  off  from  among  their 
people.  Therefore  shall  ye  keep 
mine  ordinance,  that  ye  commit 
not  any  one  of  these  abominable 
customs,  which  were  committed 
before  you,  and  that  ye  defile  not 
yourselves  therein:  I  am  the  Lord 
your  God.

thereto,  thou  shalt  kill  the  woman 
and  the  beast.    ....

thou  Shalt  beget,  shall  they  take 
away;  and  they  shall  be  eunuchs

Ion. 

Dan.  I,  3,  9, 11.  And  the  king 
spake  unto  Ashpenaz,  the  mas- 
ter of  his  eunuchs,  that  he  should 
bring  certain  of  the  children  of 
Israel,  and  of  the  king's  seed,  and 
of  the  princes;  Now  God  had 
brought  Daniel  into  favour  and 
tender  love  with  the  prince  of  the 
eunuchs.  Then  said  Daniel  to 
Melzar,  whom  the  prince  of  the 
eunuchs  bad  set  over  Daniel, 
Hananiah,  Mishael,  and  Azariah. 

Matth.  xix,  11,  12.  But  he  said 
unto  them.  All  men  cannot  receive 
this  saying,  save  they  to  whom  it 
is  given.  For  there  are  some 
eunuchs,  which  were  so  born 
from  their  mother's  womb;  and 
there  are  some  eunuchs,  which 
were  made  eunuchs  of  men;  and 
there  be  eunuchs  which  have 
made  themselves  eunuchs  for  the 
kingdom  of  heaven's  sake.  He 
that  Is  able  to  receive  it,  let  him 
receive  it.

charge  of  all  her  treasure,  and  had 
come  to  Jerusalem  for  to  worship. 

SODOM. 

Gen.  xiH,  13.  But  the  men  of 
Sodom  ivere  wicked,  and  sinners 
before  the  Lord  exceedingly. 

Gen.  xviii,  20-22.  And  the 
Loan  said,  Because  the  cry  of 
Sodom  and  Gomorrah  is  great, 
and  because  their  sin  is  very 
grievous,  I  will  go  down  now, 
and  see  whether  they  have  done 
altogether  according  to  the  cry  of 
it,  which  is  come  unto  me;  and  if 
not,  I  will  know.  And  the  men 
turned  their  faces  from  thence, 
and  went  toward'  Sodom:  but 
Abraham  stood  yet  before  the 
Lord. 

G^n.  xlx,  4-11.  But,  before  they 
lay  down,  the  men  of  the  city, 
even  the  men  of  Sodom,  compass- 
ed the  house  round,  both  old  and 
young,  all  the  people  from  every 
quarter.  And  they  called  unto 
Lot,  and  said  unto  him.  Where 
are  the  men  which  came  in  to 
thee  this  night?  bring  them  out 
unto  us,  that  we  may  know  ihem. 
And  Lot  went  out  at  the  door  un- 
to them,  and  shut  the  door  after 
lilm.  And  said,  I  pray  you,  breth- 
ren, do  not  so  wickedly.  Behold 
now,  I  have  two  daughters  which 
have  not  knowL  man;  let  me,  I 
pray  you,  bring  them  out  unto

you,  and  do  ye  to  thera  as  is  good 
In  your  eyes:  ouly  unto  these  men 
do  nothing;  for  therefore  came 
they  under  the  shadow  of  ray 
roof.  And  they  said,  Stand  back. 
And  tli^  said  again.  Tliis  one 
fellow  came  in  to  sojourn,  and  he 
will  needs  be  a  judge :  now  will 
we  deal  worse  wltii  thee  than 
with  them.  And  they  pressed 
sore  upon  tlie  man,  even  Lot,  and 
came  near  to  break  the  door.  But 
the  men  put  forth  their  hand,  and 
pulled  Lot  into  the  house  to 
them,  and  shut  to  the  door.  And 
they  smote  the  men  that  were  at 
the  door  of  the  house  witli  blind- 
ness, both  small  and  great;  s^o 
that  they  wearied  themselves  to 
find  the  door. 

Lev.  xviii,  22.  Thou  shalt  not 
lie  with  mankind  as  with  woman- 
kind: it  is  abomination. 

Deut.  xxiii,  17,  18.  There  shall 
be  no  whore  of  the  daugliters  of 
Israel,  nor  a  Sodomite  of  tlie  sons 
of  Israel.  Thou  shalt  not  bring 
the  hire  of  a  whore,  or  tlie  price 
of  a  dog,  into  the  house  of  the 
Lord  thy  God  for  any  vow:  for 
even  both  these  are  abomination 
unto  the  Lord  thy  God. 

Deut.  xxxii,  32.  For  their  vine 
is  of  the  vine  of  Sodom,  anjl  of 
the  fields  of  Gomorrah:  their 
grapes  are  grapes  of  gall,  their 
clusters  are  bitter. 

Jtidges  xlx,  22-24.  Now,  as  they 
were  making  their  hearts  merry, 
behold,  the  men  of  the  city,  cer- 
tain sons  of  Belial,  beset  the 
house  round  about,  and  beat  at 
the  door,  and  spake  to  the  master 
of  the  house,  the  old  man,  saying, 
Bring  forth  the  man  that  came 
Into  thine  house,  that  we  may 
know  him.  And  the  man,  the 
master  of  the  house,  went  out 
unto  them,  and  said  unto  thera. 
Nay,  my  brethren,  nay,  I  pray 
you,  do  not  so  wickedly;  seeing 
that  this  man  is  come  into  mine 
house,  do  not  this  folly.  Behold, 
here  is  my  daughter,  a  maiden, 
and  his  concubine;  them  I  will 
bring  out  now,  and  humble  ye 
them,  and  do  with  them  what 
geemeth  good  unto  you:  but  unto 
this  man  do  not  so  vile  a  thing. 

1  Kings  xiv,  24.  And  there 
were  also  Sodomites  in  the  land: 
and  they  did  according  to  all  the 
abominations  of  the  nations  which 
the  Lord  cast  out  before  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel. 

JRom.  i,  24,  26,  27.  Wherefore 
God  also  gave  them  to  unclean- 
ness  through  the  lusts  of  their 
own  hearts,  to  dishonour  their 
own  bodies  between  themselves: 
For  this  cause  God  gave  them  up 
unto  vile  affections:  for  even  thefr 
women  did  change  the  natural 
use  into  that  which  is  against 
nature:  Aud  likewise  also  the 


men,  leaving  the  natural  use  of 
the  woman,  burned  in  their  lust 
one  toward  another,  men  with 
men  working  that  which  is  un- 
seemly, and  receiving  in  them- 
selves that  recompeuce  of  their 
error  which  was  meet. 

2  Feter  ii,  7,  8.  And  delivered 
just  Lot,  vexed  with  the  filthy 
conversation  of  the  wicked:  (For 
that  righteous  man  dwelling 
among  them,  in  seeing  and  hear- 
ing, vexed  his  righteous  soul 
from  day  to  day  with  f/igir  unlaw- 
ful deeds. 

Isa.  i,  10.  Hear  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  ye  rulers  of  Sodom;  give  ear 
unto  the  law  of  our  God,  ye  peo- 
ple of  Gomorrah. 

Isa.  iii,  9.  The  show  of  their 
countenance  doth  witness  against 
them;  and  they  declare  their  sin 
as  Sodom,  they  hide  it  not.  Woe 
unto  their  soul?  tor  they  have  re- 
warded evil  unto  themselves. 

Lam.  iv,  6.  For  the  punishment 
of  the  iniquity  of  the  daughter  of 
my  people  is  greater  tban  the 
punishment  of  tlie  sin  of  Sodom, 
that  was  overthrown  as  in  a 
moment,  and  no  hands  stayed  on 
her. 

EzeJc.  xvl,  46  -  50,  53-  56.  And 
thine  elder  sister  is  Samaria,  she 
and  her  daugliters  that  dwell  at 
thy  left  hand;  and  thy  younger 
sister,  that  dwelleth  at  thy  right 
hand,  is  Sodom  and  her  daugh- 
ters. Yet  hast  thou  not  walked 
after  their  ways,  nor  done  aiter 
their  abominations;  but,  as  if  that 
were  a  very  linle  thing,  thou  wast 
corrupted  more  than  they  in  all 
thy  ways.  As  I  live,  saith  the 
Lord  God,  Sodom  thy  sister  hath 
not  done,  she  nor  her  daughters, 
as  thou  hast  done,  thou  and  thy 
daughters.  •  Behold,  this  was  the 
iniquity  of  thy  sis: er  Sodom,  pride, 
fulness  of  bread,  and  abundance 
of  idleness  was  in  her  and  in  her 
daughters,  neither  did  she  streng- 
then the  hand  of  the  poor  and 
needy.  And  they  were  haughty, 
and  committed  abomination  be- 
fore me:  therefore  I  took  them 
away  as  I  saw  good.  When  I 
shall  bring  again  their  captivity, 
the  captivity  of  Sodom  and  her 
daughters,  and  the  captivity  of 
Samaria  and  her  daughters,  then 
will  I  bring  again  the  captivity  of 
thy  captives  in  the  midst  of  them: 
That  thou  mayest  bear  thine  own 
shame,  and  inayest  be  confounded 
in  all  that  thou  hast  done,  in  that 
thou  art  a  comfort  unto  thera. 
When  thy  sisters,  Sodom  and  her 
daughters,  shall  return  to  their 
former  estate,  and  Samaria  and 
her  daughters  shall  return  to  their 
former  estate,  then  thou  and  thy 
daughters  shall  return  to  your 
former  estate.  For  thy  sister

Sodom  was  not  mentioned  by  thy

Matth.  xi,  23,  24.  And  thou,  Ca- 
pernaum, which  art  exalted  unto 
heaven,  shalt  be  brought  down  to 
hell:  for  if  the  mighty  works, 
which  have  been  done  in  thee, 
had  been  done  in  Sodom,  it  would 
have  remained  until  this  day.  Cut 
I  say  unto  thee.  That  it  shall  be 
more  tolerable  for  the  land  of  So- 
dom in  the  day  of  judgment,  than 
for  thee.

Gen.  xix,  13, 17, 24-28.  For  wo 
will  destroy  this  place,  because 
the  cry  of  them  is  waxen  great 
before  the  face  of  the  Lord  ;  and 
the  Lord  hath  sent  us  to  destroy 
it.  And  it  came  to  pass,  wlieu 
they  had  brought  them  forth 
abroad,  that  he  said,  Escipe  for 
thy  life;  look  not  behind  thee, 
neither  stay  thou  in  all  the  plain: 
escape  to  the  mountain,  lest  thou 
be  consumed.  Then  the  Loro 
rained  upon  Sodom  and  upon  Go- 
morrah brimstone  and  fire  fiona 
the  Lord  out  of  heaven:  And  he 
Overtlirew  those  cities,  and  a!l  the

DISPENSATION. 

1.— PRIESTS. 

A  PATRIARCHAL  PRIEST. 

Gen.  xlv,  18,  19.  And  Melchiz- 
edek  kinpr  of  Salem  brought 
forth  bread  and  wine:  and  he  was 
the  priest  of  the  most  high  God, 
And  he  blessed  him,  and  said, 
Blessed  be  Abram  of  the  most 
high  God,  possessor  of  heaven 
and  earth. 

Eeb.  vii,  1-3.  For  this  Melchis- 
edec,  king  of  Salem,  priest  of 
the  most  high  God,  who  met 
Abraham  returning  from  the 
slaugliter  of  the  kings,  and  blessed 
him;  To  whom  also  Abraham 
gave  a  tenth  pirt  of  all;  first  being, 
by  interpretation,  King  of  right- 
eousness, and  after  that  also  King 
of  Salem,  wliich  is,  King  of  peace; 
Without  father,  without  mother, 
without  descent,  having  neither 
beginning  of  days,  nor  end  of  life; 
but,  made  like  unto  the  Son  of 
God,  abideth  a  priest  continually. 

Jewish  Priests. 

Exod.  xix,  22.  And  let  the 
priests  also,  which  come  near  to 
the  Lord,  sanctify  themselves, 
lest  the  Lord  break  forth  upon 
them. 

Exod.  xxviii,  1.  And  take  thou 
unto  thee  Aaron  thy  brother,  and 
his  sons  with  him,  from  among 
the  children  of  Israel,  that  he  may 
minister  unto  me  in  the  priest's 
office,  even  Aaron,  Nadab  and 
Abihu,  Eleazar  and  Ithamar, 
Aaron's  soi/is. 

Exod.  xxix,  35.  And  thus  shall 
thou  do  unto  Aaron,  and  to  liis 
sons,  according  to  all  things  which 
I  have  commanded  thee:  seven 
days  Shalt  thou  consecrate  them. 

Lev.  viii,  2-6, 33-3G.  Take  Aaron 
and  his  sons  witli  him,  and  the 
garments,  and  the  anointing  oil, 
and  a  bullock  for  the  sin-ofl'tring, 
and  two  rams,  and  a  basket  of 
unleavened  bread;  And  gather 
thou  all  the  congregation  together 
unto  the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation.  And  Moses 
did  as  the  Loud  commanded  him; 
and  the  asseml  ly  was  gathered 
together  unto  liie  door  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation. 
And  Moses  said  unto  the  congre- 
gation, This  is  tlie  tiling  which 
the  Lo&u  cummauded  to  be  done. 


And  Moses  brought  Aaron  and  his 
sons,  and  washed  them  with  water. 
And  ye  shall  not  go  out  of  the  door 
of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion in  seven  days,  until  the  days 
of  your  consecration  be  at  an 
end:  for  seven  days  shall  he  con- 
secrate you.  As  he  hath  done 
this  day,  so  the  Lord  hath  com- 
manded to  do,  to  make  an  atone- 
ment for  you.  Therefore  shall  ye 
abide  at  the  door  of  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation  day  and 
night  seven  days,  and  keep  the 
charge  of  the  Lord,  that  ye  die 
not:  for  so  I  am  commanded.  So 
Aaron  and  his  sons  did  all  things 
which  the  Lord  commanded  by 
the  hand  of  Moses. 

Lev.  xxi,  6.  They  shall  be  holy 
unto  their  God,  and  not  profane 
the  name  of  their  God:  for  the 
oflferings  of  the  Lord  made  by  fire, 
arid  the  bread  of  their  God,  they 
do  offer,  therefore  they  shall  be 
holy. 

Num.  ill,  10, 38.  And  thou  shalt 
appoint  Aaron  and  his  sons,  and 
they  shall  wait  on  their  priest's 
office:  and  the  stranger  that 
Cometh  nigh  shall  be  put  to  death. 
But  those  that  encamp  before  the 
tabernacle  toward  the  east,  even 
before  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation eastward,  shall  be 
Moses,  and  Aaron  and  his  sons, 
keeping  the  charge  of  the  sanc- 
tuary, for  the  charge  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel;  and  the  stranger 
that  cometh  nigh  shall  be  put  to 
death. 

Niim.  xvil,  7.  Therefore  thou 
and  thy  sons  with  thee  shall  keep 
your  priest's  office  for  every  thing 
of  the  altar,  and  within  the  vail; 
and  ye  t^hall  serve  :  1  have  given 
your  priest's  (office  unto  you  as  a 
service  of  gift;  and  the  stranger 
that  Cometh  nigh  shall  be  put  to 
death. 


2  Chron.  xxvi,  16-18.  But  when 
he  [Uzziah]  was  strong,  his  heart 
was  lifted  up  to  his  destruction : 
for  he  transgressed  against  the 
Loru  his  God,  and  went  into  the 
temple  of  the  Lord  to  burn  in- 
cense upon  the  altar  of  incense. 
And  Azariah  the  priest  went  in 
after  him,  and  with  him  fourscore 
priests  of  the  Lord,  that  were  val- 
iant men;  Ana  they  withstood 
Uzziah  the  king,  and  said  unto 
him.    It  appert'Hneth  not  unto 

^  451 


thee,  Uzziah,  to  bum  incense  nnto 
the  l^oBD,  but  to  the  priests  the 
sons  of  Aaron,  that  are  conse- 
crated to  burn  incense :  go  out  of 
the  sanctuary ;  for  thou  hast  tres- 
passed: neither  shall  it  be  for  thine 
honour  from  the  Lord  God. 

2  Chron.  xxxv,  10.  So  the  ser- 
vice was  prepared,  and  the  priests 
stood  in  their  place,  and  the  Le- 
vites  in  their  courses,  according 
to  the  king's  commandment. 

Isa.  Ixvi,  21.  And  I  will  also 
take  of  them  for  priests,  and  for 
Levites,  saith  the  Lord. 

Their  Various  Duties. 

Lev.  X,  11.    And  that  ye  may 

teach  the  children  of  Israel  all  the 

statutes   which   the    Lord    hath 

spoken  unto  them  by  the  hand  of 


Num.  iii,  1-4,  82.  These  also  are 
the  generations  of  Aaron  and 
Moses,  in  the  day  that  the  Lord 
spake  with  Moses  in  mount  Sinai. 
And  these  are  the  names  ot  the 
sons  of  Aaron;  Nadab  the  first- 
born, and  Abihu,  Eleazar,  and 
Ithamar.  These  are  the  names  of 
the  sons  of  Aaron,  the  priests 
which  were  anointed,  whom  he 
consecrated  to  minister  in  the 
priest's  office.  And  Nadab  and 
Abihu  died  before  the  Lord,  when 
they  offered  strange  fire  before 
the  Lord,  in  the  wilderness  of 
Sinai,  and  they  had  no  children: 
and  Eleazar  and  Ithamar  minis- 
tered in  the  priest's  office  in  the 
siglit  of  Aaron  their  father.  And 
Eleazar,  the  son  of  Aaron  the 
priest,  shall  be  chief  over  the  chief 
of  the  Levites.  and  have  the  over- 
sight of  them  that  keep  the  charge 
of  the  sanctuary. 

Num.  iv,  5-16.  And  when  the 
camp  setteth  forward,  Aaron  shall 
come,  and  his  sons,  and  they  shall 
take  down  the  covering  vail,  and 
cover  the  ark  of  testimony  with 
it;  And  shall  put  thereon  the  cov- 
ering of  badgers'  skins,  and  shall 
spread  over  it  a  cloth  wholly  of 
blue,  and  shall  put  in  the  staves 
thereof.  And  upon  the  table  of 
shew-bread  they  shall  spread  a 
cloth  of  blue,  and  put  thereon  the 
dishes,  and  the  spoons,  and  the 
bowls,  and  covers  to  cover  withal: 
and  the  continual  bread  shall  be 
thereon.  And  they  shall  spread 
upon  them  a  cloth  of  scarlet,  and 
cover  the  same  with  a  coveringf

Bluill  take  a  cloth  of  blue,  and 
cover  the  candlestick  of  the  light, 
aiul  his  lamps,  and  his  ton<?s,  and 
his  snuff-dishes,  and  all  the  oil-, 
vessels  thereof,  wherewith  they 
minister  unto  it.  And  they  shall 
put  it,  and  all  the  vessels  thereof, 
within  a  coverinp:  of  badgers' 
skins,  and  shall  put  it  upon  a  bar. 
And  upon  the  golden  altar  they 
Bhall  spread  a  cloth  of  blue,  and 
cover  it  with  a  covering  of  bad- 
gers' skins,  and  shall  put  to  the 
staves  thereof.  And  they  shall 
take  all  the  instruments  of  minis- 
try, wherewith  they  minister  in 
the  sanctuary,  and  put  them  in  a 
cloth  of  blue,  and  cover  them  with 
a  covering  of  badgers'  skins,  and 
shall  put  them  on  a  bar.  And  thoy 
shall  take  away  the  ashes  from 
the  altar,  and  spread  a  purple 
cloth  thereon:  And  they  shall 
put  upon  it  all  the  vessels  thereof, 
wherewith  they  minister  about  it, 
even  the  censers,  the  flesh-hooks, 
and  the  shovels,  and  the  basons, 
all  the  vessels  of  the  altar;  and 
they  shall  spread  upon  it  a  cover- 
ing of  badgers'  skins,  and  put  to 
the  staves  of  it.  And  when  Aaron 
and  his  sons  have  made  an  end  of 
covering  the  sunctuary,  and  all 
the  vessels  of  the  sanctuary,  as 
the  camp  is  to  set  forward ;  after 
that,  the  sons  of  Kohath  shall 
Come  to  bear  it:  but  they  shall 
not  touch  any  holy  thing,  lest 
they  die.  These  things  are  the 
burden  of  the  sons  of  Kohath  in 
the  tabernacle  of  tlie  congrega- 
tion. And  to  the  offlce  of  Elea- 
z  ir,  the  son  of  Aaron  the  priest, 
pertaineth  the  oil  for  the  light, 
and  the  sweet  incense,  and  the 
daily  meat  -  ofl'ering,  and  the 
anointing  oil,  and  the  oversight 
of  all  the  tabernacle,  and  of  all 
that  therein  is,  in  the  sanctuary, 
and  in  the  vessels  thereof. 

Num.  xviii,  1.  And  the  Lord 
Bald  unto  Aaron,  Thou,  and  thy 
eons,  and  thy  father's  house  with 
thee,  shall  bear  the  iniquity  of  the 
sanctuary:  and  thou  and  thy  sons 
with  thee  shall  bear  the  iniquity 
of  your  priesthood. 

Num.  xxvii,  19,  22.  And  set  him 
before  lUeazar  the  priest,  and 
before  all  the  congregation  ;  and 
gave  him  a  charge  in  their  sight. 
And  Moses  did  as  the  Lord  com- 
manded him:  and  he  took  Joshua, 
and  set  him  before  Eleazar  tlie 
priest,  and  before  all  the  congre- 
gation. 

2  Kings  xvll,  27,  28.  Then  the 
king  of  Assyria  commanded,  say- 
ing, Carry  thither  one  of  the 
priests  whom  ye  brought  from 
thence;  and  let  them  go  and  dwell 
there,  and  let  him  teach  them  the 
manner  of  the  God  of  the  land. 
Then  cue  of  the  priests,  whom 


they  had  carried  away  from  Sa- 
maria, came  and  dwelt  in  Beth-el, 
and  taugiit  them  how  they  should 
fear  the  Lord. 

1  Chron.  vi,  49.  But  Aaron  and 
his  sons  offered  upon  the  altar  of 
the  burnt-offering,  and  on  the  al- 
tar of  incense,  and  were  appointed 
for  all  the  work  of  the  place  most 
holy,  and  to  make  an  atonement 
for  Israel,  according  to  all  that 
Moses,  the  servant  of  God,  had 
commanded. 

1  Chron.  ix,30.  And  some  of  the 
sons  of  the  priests  made  the  oint- 
ment of  the  apices. 

1  Chro7i.  xvi,  39,  40.  And  Zadok

priests,  before  the  tabernacle  of 
the  Lord,  in  the  high  place  that 
vns  at  Gibeon,  To  offer  burnt-of- 
ferings unto  the  Lord  upon  the 
altar  of  the  burnt-offering  contin- 
ually morning  and  evening,  and

he  commanded  Israel. 

1  Chron.  xxlii,  13.  The  sons  of 
Amram;  Aaron  and  Moses :  and

things,  he  and  his  sons  for  ever,

Ezelc.  xliv,  23, 24.  And  they  shall 
teach  my  people  the  difference 
between  the  holy  and  profane, 
and  cause  them  to  discern  between 
the  unclean  and  the  clean.  And 
in  controversy  they  shall  stand  in 
judgment;  and  they  shall  judge  it 
according  to  my  judgments:  and 
they  shall  keep  my  laws  and  my 
statutes  in  all  mine  assemblie-;; 
and  they  shall  hallow  my  sab- 
baths. 

THE  HIGH  PRIEST. 

Lev.  xxi,  10-15.  And  he  that  is 
the  high  priest  among  his  breth- 
ren, upon  whose  head  tlie  anoint- 
ing oil  was  poured,  and  that  is 
consecrated  to  put  on  the  gar- 
ments, shall  not  uncover  his  head, 
nor  rend  his  clothes;  Neither  shall 
he  go  in  to  any  dead  body,  nor 
defile  himself  for  his  lather  or  for 
his  mother;  Neither  shall  he  go 
out  of  the  sanctuary,  nor  profane 
the  sanctuary  of  his  God ;  for  the 
crown  of  the  anointing  oil  of  his 
God  is  upon  him:  I  am  the  Lord. 
And  he  shall  take  a  wife  in  her 
virginity.  A  widow,  or  a  divorced 
woman,  or  profane,  or  an  harlot, 
these  shall  ho  not  take;  but  he 
shall  take  a  virgin  of  his  own  peo- 
ple to  wife.  N'ither  shall  he 
profane  his  seed  among  his  peo- 
ple: for  I  the  Lord  do  sanctify 
him. 

Acts  vli,  1.    Then  said  the  high 
priest,  Are  thos(<  tilings  so? 
452 


ITeb.  V,  1-4.  For  every  high 
priest  taken  from  among  men  is 
ordained  for  men  in  things  per' 
taining  to  God,  that  he  may  offer 
both  gilts  and  sacrifices  for  sins: 
Who  can  have  compassion  on  the 
ignorant,  and  on  them  that  are 
out  of  the  way;  for  that  he  him- 
self also  is  compassed  with  infir- 
mity. And  by  reason  hereot  he 
ought,  as  for  the  people,  so  also 
for  himself,  to  offer  for  sins.  And 
no  man  taketh  this  honour  unto 
himself;,  but  he  that  is  called  of 
God,  as  was  Aaron, 

FIDELITY  AND  BLESSING. 

2  Ghron.  xxix,  11.  My  sons,  be 
not  now  negligent:  for  the  Lord 
hath  chosen  you  to  stand  before 
him,  to  serve  him,  and  that  ye 
should  minister  unto  him,  and 
burn  incense. 

Ps.  cxv,  12.  The  Lord  hath 
been  mindful  of  us ;  he  will  bless 
US:  he  will  bless  the  house  of 
Israel:  he  will  bless  the  house  of 
Aaron. 

Isa.  Ixi,  6.  But  ye  shall  be  named 
the  Priests  of  the  Lord:  vien  shall 
call  you  the  Ministers  of  our  God: 
ye  shall  eat  the  riches  of  the  Gen- 
tiles, and  in  their  glory  shall  ye 
boast  yourselves. 

Jer.  xxxi,  14.  And  I  will  satiate 
the  soul  of  the  priests  with  fatness, 
and  my  people  shall  be  satisfied 
with  my  goodness,  saitU  the 
Lord. 

£"26/;.  xliv,  15, 16.  But  the  priests 
the  Levites,  the  sons  of  Zadok, 
that  kept  the  charge  of  my  sanc- 
tuary when  the  children  of  Israel 
went  astray  from  me,  they  shall 
come  near  to  me  to  minister  unto 
me,  and  they  shall  stand  before 
me  to  offer  unto  me  the  fat  and  • 
the  blood,  saith  the  Lord  God: 
They  shall  enter  into  my  sanctu- 
ary, and  they  shall  come  near  to 
my  table,  to  minister  unto  me,  and 
they  shall  keep  my  charge 

Mai.  ii,  4-6.  And  ye  shall  know 
that  I  have  sent  this  command- 
ment unto  you,  that  my  covenant 
might  be  with  Levi,  saitli  tlie 
I..ORD  of  hosts.  My  covenant  was 
with  him  of  Ufe  and  peace;  and  I 
gave  them  to  him  Jor  the  fear 
wherewith  he  feared  me,  and  was 
afraid  before  my  name.  The  law 
of  truth  was  In  his  moutli,  and 
iniquity  was  not  found  in  his  lips: 
he  walked  with  me  in  peace  and 
equity,  and  did  turn  many  away 
from  iniquity. 

SINS  OF  THE  PRIESTHOOD. 

REBELLION. 

Num.  xvl,  5-11,  17-19.  And  he 
spake  unto  Korah,  and  unto  all 
his  company,  saying,  Even  to- 
morrow the  Lord  will  shew  who 
are  his,  and  who  is  holy;  and  wlIJ 


MINISTERS  OF  RELIGION", 


canse  Tiim  to  come  near  tinto  him: 
even  him  whoui  lie  hath  chosen 
will  he  cause  to  coine  near  unto 
him.  This  do:  Take  your  censers, 
Korah,and  all  his  company;  Ami 
put  Are  tlierein,  and  put  inoeiise 
In  tliem  before  the  Lokd  to-mor- 
row: and  it  shall  be.  that  tlie  man 
wh(im  the  Lord  doth  chouse,  he 
sTiall  be  holy.  Ye  take  too  much 
upon  you,  ye  sous  of  Levi.  And 
Moses  said  unto  Korah,  Hear  I 
pray  you,  ye  sons  of  Levi;  Seem- 
eth  it  but  a  small  thin;?  unto  you. 
that  the  God  of  Israel  hath  sep  i- 
rated  you  from  the  congre.2:ation 
of  Israel,  to  bring  you  near  to 
himself,  to  do  the  service  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  Lord,  and  to 
stand  before  the  congregation  to 
minister  unfo  them?  And  he  hath 
brought  thee  near  to  Mm,  and  all 
thy  brethren  the  sons  of  Levi  with 
thee;  and  seek  ye  the  priesthood 
also?  For  which  cause,  both  thou 
and  all  thy  company  are  gathered 
together  against  the  Lord;  and 
what  is  Aarou,  that  ye  murmur 
against  him?  And  take  every  man 
his  censer,  and  put  incense  in 
them,  and  bring  ye  before  the 
Lord  every  mui  his  ct-nser,  two 
hundred  and  fifty  censers;  thou 
also,  and  Aaron,  each^/  you  his 
censer.  And  they  took  every  man 
his  c  user,  and  put  fire  in  them,  and 
laid  incense  thereon,  and  stood  in 
the  door  of  the  tabernicle  of  the 
congregation  with  Moses  and 
Aaron.  And  Korah  gathered  all  the 
congregation  against  them  unto 
the  door  of  the  taiiernacle  of  the 
congregation:  and  the  glory  of  the 
Lord  appeared  unto  all  the  con- 
gregation. 


Dissipation. 
1  Sam.  ii,  12-17,  22-24,  29.  Now 
the  sons  of  Eli  were  sons  of  Belial; 
they  knew  not  the  Lord.  And  the 
priest's  custom  with  the  people 
was,  that,  when  any  man  offered 
sacrifice,  the  priest's  servant  came, 
while  the  flesh  was  in  seething, 
with  a  flesh-hook  of  three  teeth  in 
his  hand:  And  he  struck  it  into 
the  pan,  or  kettle,  or  caldron,  or 
pot;  all  that  the  flesh- hook 
brought  up  the  priest  took  for. 
himself.  So  they  did  in  Shiloh 
unto  all  the  Israelites  that  came 
thither.  Also  before  they  burnt 
the  fat,  the  priest's  servant  came, 
and  said  to  the  man  that  sacri- 
ficed. Give  flesh  to  roast  for  the 
priest;  for  he  will  not  have  sodden 
flesh  of  thee,  but  raw.  And  // 
any  man  said  unto  him,  Let  them 
not  fail  to  burn  the  fat  presently, 
and  then  take  as  much  as  thy  soul 
desiretli;  then  he  would  answer 
him,  ^fly;  but  thou  shalt  give  it 
me  now:  and  if  not,  I  will  take  it 
by  force.  Wherefore  the  sin  ol 
the  yonng  men  was  very  great 
before  the  i.ord:  for  men  abhorred 


the  offering  of  the  Lord.  Now 
Eli  was  very  old,  and  heard  all 
that  his  sons  did  unto  all  Israel; 
and  how  they  lay  with  the  women 
that  assembled  at  the  door  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation. 
And  he  said  unto  them,  Wliy  do 
ye  such  tilings?  for  I  hear  of  your 
evil  dealings  by  all  this  people. 
Nay,  my  sons;  for  it  is  no  good 
report  that  I  hear:  ye  make 
the  Lord's  people  to  trangress. 
Wherefore  kick  ye  at  my  sacrifice 
and  at  mine  offering,  which  1  have 
commanded  in  my  habitation;  and 
honourest  thy  sons  above  me,  to 
make  yourselves  fat  with  the 
chiefest  of  all  the  offerings  ol 
Israel  my  peoiile  ? 

PROFANrry. 
Ezra  Ii,  61,  62.  And  of  the  chil- 
dren of  the  priests:  the  children 
of  Habaiali,  the  children  cf  Koz, 
the  children  of  Barzillai;  (whicli 
took  a  wife  of  the  daughters  ot 
B  uzillai  the  Gileadite,  and  was 
called  after  their  name:)  These 
sought  their  register  amoKg  those 
that  were  reckoned  by  genealogy, 
but  they  were  not  found;  there- 
fore were  they,  as  polluted,  put 
from  the  priesthood. 

Neh.  vii,  64.  These  sought  their 
re,i;ister  among  those  tl;at  were 
reckoned  by  .lienealogy,  but  it  was 
not  found:  therefore  were  they, 
as  polluted,  put  from  the  priest- 
hood. 

Neh.  xiii,  29,  Remember  thou,  O 
my  God,  because  they  have  defiled 
the  priesthood,  and  the  covenant 
of  the  priesthood,  and  of  the 
Levites. 

Jer.  ii,  8.  The  priests  said  not, 
Where  is  the  Lord?  and  they  that 
handle  the  law  knew  me  not:  the 
pastors  also  transgressed  against 
m»,  and  the  prophets  prophesied 
by  Baal,  and  walked  alter  things 
that  do  not  profit. 

Jer.  X,  21.  For  the  pastors  are 
become  brutish,  and  have  not 
songht  the  Lord:  therefore  they 
shall  not  prosper,  and  all  their 
flocks  shall  be  scattered. 

Jer.  xii,  10,  11.  Many  pastors 
have  destroyed  my  vineyard,  they 
have  trodden  my  portion  under 
foot,  they  have  made  my  pi  asant 
portion  a  desolate  wilderness. 
They  have  made  it  desolate,  and 
being  desolate  it  mourneth  unto 
me;  the  whole  land  is  made  deso- 
late, because  no  man  layeth  it  to 
heart. 

Ezek.  xxii,  26.  Her  priests  have 
violated  my  law,  and  have  pro- 
faned mine  holy  things:  they  have 
put  no  difference  between  the 
holy  and  profane,  neither  have 
they  shewed  difference  between 
the  unclean  ana  the  clean,  and 
have  hid  their  eyes  from  my  sab- 
453 


baths,  and  I  am  profaned  amonff 
them. 

Hosea  V,  1.  Hear  ye  this,  O 
priests;  and  hearken,  ye  hou'^e  of 
Israel;  and  give  ye  ear,  O  house  of 
the  king;  for  judgment  is  toward 
you.  because  ye  have  been  a  snare 
on  Mizpih,  and  a  net  spread 
upon  Tabor. 

Zeph.  ill,  4.  Her  prophets  are 
light  and  treacherous  persons : 
her  priests  have  polluted  tlie 
sanctuary,  they  have  done  vio- 
lence to  the  law. 

Mai.  1,  6.  A  son  honoureth  his 
fither,  and  a  Servant  his  master: 
if  then  1  be  a  father,  where  is  mine 
honour?  and  if  1  fie  a  master,  where 
is  my  fear?  saith  the  Lor  >  of  hosts 
unto  you,  O  priests,  that  despise 
my  name.  And  ye  say.  Wherein 
have  we  despised  thy  name? 

Mai.  ii,  8.  But  ye  are  departed 
out  of  the  way;  ye  have  caused 
many  to  stumble  at  the  law;  ye 
have  corrupted  the  covenant  of 
Levi,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

And  Idol.vtrt. 
Ezek.  xliv,  10-14.  And  the  Le- 
vites that  are  gone  away  far  from 
me,  when  Israel  went  astray, 
%\hic'i  went  astray  from  me  after 
their  idols;  they  shall  even  bear 
their  iniquity.  Yet  they  shall  he 
ministers  in  my  sanctuary,  having 
charge  at  the  gates  of  the  house, 
and  ministering  to  the  house:  they 
they  shall  slay  the  burnt-offering 
and  the  sacrifice  for  the  people, 
and  they  shall  stand  before  tliem 
to  minister  unto  them.  Because 
they  ministered  unto  them  before 
their  idols,  and  caused  the  house 
of  Israel  to  fall  into  Iniquity; 
therefore  have  I  lifted  up  mine 
hand  against  them,  saith  the  Lord 
God,  and  they  shall  bear  their 
iniquity.  And  they  sliall  not  come 
near  unto  me,  to  do  the  office  of  a 
priest  unto  me,  nor  to  come  near 
to  any  of  my  holy  thing.s,  in  the 
most  holy  place;  but  they  shall 
bear  their  shame,  and  their  abo- 
minations which  they  have  com- 
mitted; But  I  will  make  them 
keepers  of  the  charge  of  the 
liouse,  for  all  the  service  thereof, 
and  for  all  that  shall  be  done 
therein. 

THE  SACRED  VESTMENTS. 

Exod.  xxviii,  2-5.  And  thou 
Shalt  make  holy  garments  for 
Aaron  thy  brother,  for  glory  and 
for  beauty.  And  thou  shalt  speak 
unto  all  that  are  wise-hearted, 
whom  I  have  filled  with  the  spirit 
of  wisdom,  that  they  may  make 
Aaron's  garments  to  consecrate 
him,  that  he  may  minister  unto 
me  in  the  priest's  office.  And 
these  are  the  garments  which 
they  shall  make;  a  breastplate,  and 
au  ephod,  and   a   robe,   and  a 


Wm. 


brofdered   coat,  a  mitre,  and  a 

gir(ile:  and  tUey  shall  make  holy

linen. 

Exod.  xxix,  29,  30.  And  the  holy 
gaiments  of  Aaron  shall  be  his 
son's  after  him,  to  be  anointed 
therein,  and  to  be  consecrated  in 
them.  And  that  son  that  is  priest 
in  his  stead  shall  put  them  on 
seven  days,  when  he  cometh  into 
the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion, to  minister  in  the  holy  place. 

Exod.  XXXV,  19.  The  clothes  of

2.— LEVITES. 

ORIGIN   AND   DEDICATION. 

Num.  i,  47-49.  But  the  Levites 
after  the  tribe  of  their  fathers 
were  not  numbered  among  them. 
For  the  Lord  had  spoken  unto 
Moses,  saying,  Only  thou  shalt 
not  number  the  tribe  of  Levi, 
neither  take  the  sum  of  them 
among  the  children  of  Israel. 

Num.  iii,  15,  16,  39-41,  45.  Num- 
ber the  children  of  Levi,  after  tlie 
hout-e  of  their  fathers,  by  their 
families:  every  male  from  a  month 
old  and  upward  shalt  thou  num- 
ber them.  And  Moses  numbered 
them,  according  to  the  word  of 
the  Lord,  as  he  was  commanded. 
All  that  were  numbered  of  the 
Levitos,  which  Moses  and  Aaron 
numbered  at  the  commandment 
of  the  Lord,  throughout  their 
families,  all  the  males,  from  a 
month  old  and  upward,  were 
twenty  and  two  thousand.  And 
the  Lord  said  unto  Moses,  Num- 
ber all  the  first-born  of  the  males 
of  the  children  of  Israel,  from  a 
month  old  and  upward,  and  take 
the  number  of  their  names.  And 
thou  Shalt  take  the  Levites  for 


me,  (I  am  the  Lord.)  instead  of  all 
tlie  first-born  among  the  children 
of  Israel;  and  the  cattle  of  the  Le- 
vites instead  of  all  the  firstlings 
among  the  cattle  of  the  children 
of  Israel.  Take  the  Levites  in- 
stead of  all  the  first-born  among 
the  children  of  Israel,  and  the 
cattle  of  the  Levites  instead  of 
their  cattle;  and  the  Levites  shall 
be  mine:  I  am  the  Lord. 

Num.  iv,48.  49.  Even  those  that 
were  numbered  of  them,  were 
eight  thousand  and  five  hundred 
and  fourscore.  According  to  the 
commandment  of  the  Lord  they 
wire  numbered  by  the  hand  of 
Moses,  every  one  according  to  his 
service,  and  according  to  his  bur- 
den: thus  were  they  numbered  of 
him,  as  the  Lord  commanded 
Moses. 

Num.  viii,  6-21.  Take  the  Le- 
vites from  among  the  children  of 
Israel,  and  cleanse  them.  And 
thus  slialt  thou  do  unto  them,  to 
cleanse  them:  Sprinkle  water  of 
purifying  upim  them,  and  let  them 
shave  all  their  flesh,  and  let  them 
wash  their  clothes,  and  so  make 
themselves  clean.  Then  let  them 
take  a  young  bullock  with  his 
meat-offering,  even  fine  flour  min- 
gled with  oil,  and  another  young 
bullock  Shalt  thou  take  for  a  sin- 
offering.  And  thou  shalt  bring 
the  Levites  before  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation ;  and  thou 
shalt  gather  the  whole  assembly 
of  the*  cliildren  of  Israel  together: 
And  thou  shalt  bring  the  Levites 
before  the  Lord,  and  the  children 
of  Israel  shall  put  their  hands 
upon  the  Levites:  And  Aaron 
shall  offer  the  Levites  before  the 
Lord  for  an  offering  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel,  that  tliey  may  exe- 
cute the  service  of  the  Lord. 
And  the  Levites  shall  lay  their 
hands  upon  the  heads  of  the  bul- 
locks: and  thou  shalt  offer  the  one 
for  a  sin-offering,  and  the  other 
for  a  burnt -offering,  unto  the 
Lord,  to  make  an  atonement  for 
the  Levites.  And  thou  shalt  set 
the  Levites  before  Aaron,  and  be- 
lore  his  sons,  and  offer  them  for 
an  ofl'ering  unto  the  Lord.  TIuis 
shalt  tiiou  separate  the  Levites 
from  among  the  children  of  Israel; 
and  the  Levites  shall  be  mine. 
And  after  that  shall  the  Levites 
go  in  to  do  the  serVice  of  the  ta- 
bernacle of  the  congregation:  and 
thou  Shalt  cleanse  them,  and  offer 
them  for  an  offering.  For  they 
are  wholly  given  unto  me  from 
among  the  children  of  Israel;  in- 
stead of  such  as  open  every  womb, 
even  instead  of  the  first-born  of 
all  the  children  of  Israel,  have  I 
taken  them  unto  me.  For  all 
the  first-horn  of  the  children  of 
Israel  are  mine,  both  man  ami 
beast :  on  the  day  that  1  smoio 
every  first -bom  in  the  laud  of 
458 


Egypt  I  sanctified  them  for  my- 
self. And  I  have  talveii  the  Le- 
vites for  all  the  first-born  of  the 
children  of  Israel.  And  I  have 
given  the  Levites  as  a  gift  to 
Aaron,  and  to  his  sons,  from 
among  the  children  of  Israel,  to 
do  the  service  of  the  children  of 
Israel  in  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation,  and  to  make  an 
atonement  for  the  children  of  Is- 
rael ;  that  there  be  no  plague 
among  the  children  of  Israel, 
when  the  children  of  Israel  come 
nigh  unto  the  sanctuary.  And 
Moses,  and  Aaron,  and  all  the 
congregation  of  the  childien  of 
Israel,  did  to  the  Levites  ac- 
cording unto  all  that  the  Lord 
commanded  Moses  concerning  the 
Levites,  so  did  the  children  of  Is- 
rael unto  them.  And  the  Levites 
were  purified,  and  they  washed 
their  clothes;  and  Aaron  offered 
them  as  an  offering  before  t:  e 
Lord;  and  Aaron  made  an  atone- 
ment for  them  to  cleanse  tliem. 

Num.  xxvi,  62.  And  those  that 
were  numbered  of  them  were 
twenty  and  three  thousand,  all 
males,  from  a  month  old  and  up- 
ward: for  they  were  not  numbered 
among  the  children  of  Israel,  be- 
cause there  was  no  Inheritance 
given  them  among  the  children 
of  Israel. 

Deut.  xii,  19.  Take  heed  to  thy- 
self that  thou  forsake  n()t  the  Le- 
vite  as  long  as  thou  livest  upon 
the  earth. 

1  Sam.  ii,  36.  And  It  shall  come 
to  pass,  that  every  one  that  is  left 
in  thine  house  shall  come  and 
crouch  to  him  for  a  piece  of  silver 
and  a  morsel  of  bread,  and  shall 
say,  Put  me,  I  pray  thee,  into  one 
of  the  'priest's  offices,  that  I  may 
eat  a  piece  of  bread. 

1  Chron.  xxiii,  3.  Now  the  Le- 
vites were  numbered  from  the 
age  of  thirty  years  and  upward : 
and  their  number  by  their  polls, 
man  by  man,  was  thirty  and  eight 
thousand. 

2  Chrm.  xl,  13,  14.  And  the 
priests  and  the  Levites  that  were 
in  all  Israel  resorted  to  him  out 
of  all  their  coasts.  (For  the  Le- 
vites left  their  suburbs,  and  their 
possession,  and  came  to  Judah 
and  Jerusalem:  for  Jeroboam  and 
his  sons  had  cast  them  off  from 
executing  the  priest's  office  unto 
the  Lord. 

Age  and  Qualification. 
Lev.  xxi,  17-24.  Speak  unto 
Aaron,  saying,  Whosoever  he  be 
of  thy  seed  in  their  generations 
that  hath  any  blemish,  let  him  not 
approach  to  ofier  the  bread  of  his 
God :  For  whatsoever  man  he  be 
that  hath  a  blemish,  he  shall  not 
approach;  a  blind  man,  or  a  lame,

or  he  that;  hath  a  flat  nose,  or  any 
tiling  superfluous,  Or  a  man  tliat 
is  broken-footed,  or  broken-hand- 
ed, Or  crook-backt,  or  a  dwarf,  or 
that  hath  a  blemish  in  his  eye,  or 
be  scurvy,  or  scabbed,  or  hath  liis 
stones  broken:  No  man  that  hatli 
a  blemish  of  the  seed  of  Aaron 
the  priest  shall  come  nigh  to  offer 
the  offerings  of  the  Lord  made  by 
fire :  he  hath  a  blemish ;  he  shall 
not  come  nigh  to  offer  the  bread 
of  Ills  God.  lie  shall  eat  the  bread 
of  Ills  God,  both  of  the  most  holy, 
and  of  tlie  holy:  Only  he  shall  not 
go  in  unto  the  vail,  nor  come  nigh 
unto  the  altar,  because  he  hatli  a 
blemish;  that  he  profane  not  my 
sanctuaries:  for  1  the  Lord  do 
sanctify  them.  And  Moses  told  it 
unto  Aaron,  and  to  his  sons,  and 
unto  all  the  children  of  Israel. 

Num.  Iv,  47.  From  thirty  years 
olil  and  upward,  even  unto  fifty 
years  old,  every  one  that  came  to 
do  the  service  of  the  ministry, 
and  the  service  of  the  burden 
in  the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion. 

Num.  vlli,  24-26.  This  is  it  that 
belongeth  unto  the  Levites;  From 
twenty  and  five  years  old  and  up- 
ward they  shall  go  in  to  wait  up- 
on the  service  of  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation:  And  from  the 
age  of  filty  years  they  shall  cease 
waiting  upon  the  service  thereof, 
and  shall  serve  no  more;  But  shall 
minivster  with  their  brethren  in 
the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion, to  keep  the  charge,  and  shall 
do  no  service.  Thus  shalt  thou 
do  unto  the  Levites  touching  their 
charge. 

1  Chron.  xxiii,  24-27.  These 
were  the  sons  of  Levi  after  the 
house  of  their  fathers;  even  the 
chief  of  the  fathers,  as  they 
were  counted  by  number  of  names 
by  their  polls,  that  did  the  worlc 
for  the  service  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  from  the  age  of  twenty 
years  and  upward.  For  David 
said.  The  Lord  God  of  Israel  hath 
given  rest  unto  his  people,  that 
they  may  dwell  in  Jerusalem  for 
ever:  And  also  unto  the  Levites; 
they  shall  no  more  carry  the  ta- 
heruacle,  nor  any  vessels  of  it  for 
the  service  thereof.  For,  by  the 
last  words  of  Divid,  the  Levites 
were  numbered  from  twenty  years 
old  and  above.

the  chief  of  the  congregation, 
numbered  the  sons  of  the  Kohath- 
ites,  after  their  families,  and  after 
the  house  of  their  fathers.  From 
thirty  years  old  and  upward,  even

Ikfekiob  to  the  Priests. 

Num.  ill,  6,  7, 9.  Bring  the  tribe 
of  Levi  near,  and  present  them 
before  Aaron  the  priest,  that  they 
may  minister  unto  him.  And  they 
shall  keep  his  charge,  and  the 
charge  of  the  whole  congregation, 
before  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation, to  do  the  service  of 
the  tabernacle.  And  thou  shalt 
give  the  Levites  unto  Aaron,  and 
to  his  sons:  they  are  wholly  given 
unto  him  out  of  the  children  of 
Israel. 

Num.  viii,  22.  And  after  that 
went  the  Levites  in  to  do  their 
service  in  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation  before  Aaron,  and 
before  his  sons:  as  the  Lord  had 
commanded  Moses  concerning 
the  Levites,  so  did  they  unto 
them. 

Num.  xviil,  2,  6.  And  thy 
brethren  also  of  the  tribe  of  Levi,

joined  unto  thee,  and  minister 
unto  thee*  but  thou  and  thy  sons 
with  thee  shall  minister  before 
the  tabernacle  of  witness.  And  I, 
behold,  I  have  taken  your  bre-

given  as  a  gift  for  the  Lord,  to  do 
tl>e  service  of  the  tabernacle  of

MINISTERS  OF  RELIGION. 


1  Chron.  xxHl,  28. 81, 32.  Because 
their  otllce  was  to  wait  ou  tlie 
sons  of  Aaron,  for  the  service  of 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  in  the

DUTIES. 

GENEBAL  CHARGE  OF  SACKED 
THINGS. 

Num.  i,  50, 51, 53.  But  thou  shalt 
appoint  the  Levites  over  the  taber- 
nacle of  testimony,  and  over  all 
the  vessels  thereof,  and  over  all 
things  that  belong  to  it:  they  shall 
bear  the  tabernacle,  and  all  the 
vessels  thereof;  and  they  shall 
minister  unto  it,  and  shall 
encamp  round  about  the  taber- 
nacle. And  when  the  tabernacle 
setteth  forward;  the  Levites  shall 
take  it  down;  and  when  the 
tabernacle  is  to  be  pitched,  the 
Levites  shall  set  it  up:  and  the 
stranger  that  cometh  nigh  shall 
be  put  to  death.  But  tlie  Levites 
shall  pitch  round  about  the  taber- 
nacle of  testimony,  tliat  there  be 
no  wrath  upoa  the  congregation  of 
the  children  of  Israel:  and  the 
Levites  shall  keep  the  charge  of 
the  tabernacle  of  testimony. 

Num.  iii,  8.  And  they  shall  keep 
all  the  instruments  of  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation,  and  the 
charge  of  the  children  of  Israel,  to 
do  the  service  of  the  tabernacle. 

^M?7i.viii,19.  And  I  have  given 
the  Levites  as  a  gift  to  Aaron  and 
to  his  sons  from  among  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel,  to  do  the  service 
of  the  children  of  Israel  in  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation, 
and  to  make  an  atonement  fur  the 
children  of  Israel;  tliat  there  be  no 
plag\ie  among  the  children  of 
Israel,  when  the  children  of  Israel 
come  nigh  unto  the  sanctuary. 

Num.  xvlii,  3-5, 22. 23.  And  they 
shall  keep  thy  charge,  and  the 
charge  of  all  the  tabernacle:  only 
they  sliall  not  come  nigh  the  ves- 
sels of  the  sanctuary  and  the  altar, 
that  neither  tliey  nor  ye  also  die. 
And  they  shall  be  joined  unto 
thee,  and  keep  the  charge  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation, 
for  all  the  service  of  ttie  taber- 
nacle: and  a  stranger  shall  not 
come  nigh  unto  you.  And  ye 
sliall  keep  the  charge  9t  the  sanc- 


tuary, and  the  charge  of  the  altar: 
that  there  be  no  wrath  any  more 
upon  the  children  of  Israel. 
Neither  must  the  children  of 
Israel  henceforth  come  nigh  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation, 
lest  they  bear  sin,  and  die.  But 
the  Levites  shall  do  the  service  of 
the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion, and  they  shall  bear  thuir 
iniquity.  It  shall  be  a  statute  for 
ever  throughout  your  generations, 
that  among  the  children  of  Israel 
they  have  no  inheritance, 

1  Chron.  vi,  48.  Their  brethren 
also  the  Levites  were  appointed 
unto  all  manner  of  service  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  house  of  God. 

1  Chron.  ix,  26--32.  For  these 
Levites,  the  four  chief  porters, 
were  in  their  set  office,  and  were 
over  the  chambers  and  treasuries 
of  the  house  of  God.  And  they 
lodged  round  about  the  house  of 
God,  because  the  charge  was  upon 
them,  and  the  opening  thereof 
every  morning  pertained  to  them. 
And  certain  of  them  had  the 
charge  of  the  ministering  vessels, 
that  they  should  bring  them  in 
and  out  by  tale.  And  Mattithiah, 
one  of  the  Levites,  who  was  the 
first-born  of  Shallum  the  Korahite, 
had  the  set  office  over  the  things 
that  were  made  in  the  pans.  And 
other  of  their  brethren,  of  the  sons 
of  the  Kohathites,  icere  over  the 
showbread,  to  prepare  it  every 
Sabbath. 

1  Cliron.  XV,  11-18.  And 
David  called  for  Zadok  and 
Ablatharthe  priests,  and  for  the 
Levites,  for  Uriel,  Asaiah,  and 
Joel,  Shemaiah,  and  Eliel,  and 
Animinadab,  And  said  unto  them, 
Ye  are  the  chief  of  the  fathers 
of  the  Levites:  sanctify  yourselves, 
both  ye  and  your  brethren,  that  ye 
may  bring  up  the  ark  of  the  Lori> 
God  of  Israel  unto  the  place  that  I 
have  prepared  for  it.  For  because 
ye  did  it  not  at  the  first,  the  Lord 
our  God  made  a  breach  upon  us, 
for  that  we  sought  him  not  after 
the  due  order.  So  the  priests  and 
the  Levites  sanctified  themselves 
to  bring  up  the  ark  of  the  Lord 
God  of  Israel.  And  the  children 
of  the  Levites  bare  the  ark  of  God 
upon  their  shoulders,  with  the 
staves  thereon,  as  Moses  com- 
manded, according  to  the  word  of 
the  Lord.  And  David  spake  to 
the  chief  of  the  Levites,  to  ap- 
point their  brethren  to  be  the 
singers  with  Instruments  of  music, 
psalteries,  and  harps,  and  cymbals, 
sounding,  by  lifting  up  the  voice 
with  joy.  So  the  Levites  appoint- 
ed Ileinan  the  son  of  Joel;  and  of 
his  brethren,  Asaph  tlie  son  of 
Bereclilah;  and  of  the  sons  of 
Merari  their  brethren,  Ethan  the 
son  of  Kushaiah:  And  with  tin  m 
their  brethren  of  the  second  de- 
gree, Zechariab,  Ben,  and  Jaazlel, 
458 


and  Shemlramoth,  and  Jehlel,  and 
Unni,  Eliab,  and  Benaiah,  and 
Maaseiah,  and  Mattithiah,  and 
Elipheleh,  and  Mikneiali,  and 
Obed-edom,  and  Jeiel,  the  porters. 

1  Qhron.  xvi,  37,  38.  So  he  left 
there,  before  the  ark  of  the  cove- 
nant of  the  Lord,  Asaph  and  his 
brethren,  to  minister  betbre  the 
ark  continually,  as  every  day's

all  Israel,  wliere  he  sojourneil,  and

minister  in  tlie  name  of  the  Loud 
his  God,  as  all  his  bretliren  the 
Levites  do,  which  stand  there 
before  the  Lord. 

Judges -nvW.IAZ.  And  there  was 
a  young  man  out  of  Beth-lehem- 
judah  of  the  family  of  Judali,  who 
was  a  Levite,  and  he  sojourned 
there.  And  the  man  departed  out 
of  tlie  city  from  Beth-lehem-judah 
to  sojimrn  where  he  could  liiid  a 
place:  and  he  came  to  Mount  Epli- 
raim,  to  the  house  of  Micah,a8  lie 
journeyeii.  And  Micali  saiil  unto 
him,  Whence  comest  thou?  And 
he  said  unto  him.  I  am  a  Levite  of 
Betli  lehem-judah,  and  I  go  to  so- 
journ where  I  may  find  a  place. 
And  Micah  said  unto  him,  Dwell 
with  me,  and  be  unto  me  a  father 
and  a  priest,  and  I  will  give  tliee 
ten  shekels  of  silver  by  the  year, 
and  a  suit  of  apparel,  and  thy  vic- 
tuals. So  tlie  Levite  went  in.  And 
the  Levite  was  content  to  dwell 
witli  tlie  man;  and  the  young  man 
was  imto  him  as  one  of  his  sons. 
And  Micah  consecrated  tiie  Levite; 
and  the  young  man  became  his 
priest,  and  was  in  the  house  of 
Micah.  Then  said  Micah,  Now 
know  I  that  the  Lord  will  do  me 
good,  seeing  I  have  a  Levite  to 
my  priest. 

£ara  vill,  16-19.  And  I  gathered 


them  together  to  the  river  that 
runneth  to  Ahava;  and  there 
abode  we  in  tents  three  days:  and 
I  viewed  the  people  and  the 
priests,  and  found  there  none  of 
the  sons  of  Levi.  Then  sent  I  for 
Eliezer,  for  Ariel,  for  Shemaiah, 
and  for  Elnathan,  aud  for  Jarib, 
and  for  Elnathan,  and  for  Nathan, 
and  for  Zechariah,  and  for  Mes- 
hullam, chief  men;  also  for  Joarib, 
and  for  Elnathan,  men  of  under- 
standing. And  I  sent  them  with 
commandment  unto  Iddo  tlie 
chief,  at  the  place  Casipliia,  and  I 
told  them  what  tliey  should  say 
unto  Iddo,  and  to  his  bretlirea 
the  Nethinims,  at  the  place  Casi- 
pliia, tliat  they  should  bring  unto 
us  ministers  for  the  house  of  our 
God.  And,  by  the  good  hand  of 
our  God  upon  us,  they  brought  us 
a  man  of  understamllug,  of  the 
sons  of  Mahli,  the  son  of  Levi,  the 
son  of  Israel;  and  Sherebiah,  with 
his  S(m8  and  his  brethren,  eigh-

NETHINIMS. 
Joshua  ix,  14-27.  And  the  men 
took  of  their  victuals,  and  asked 
not  counsel  at  the  mouth  of  the 
Lord.  And  Joshua  made  peace 
with  them,  aud  made  a  league 
with  them,  to  let  them  live:  and 
the  princes  of  the  congregation 
sware  unto  them.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  at  the  end  of  three  days  after 
they  had  made  a  league  with  them, 
that  they  heard  that  they  were 
their  neighbours,  and  that  they 
dwelt  among  them.  And  tlie 
children  of  Israel  journeyed,  and 
came  unto  their  cities  on  the 
third  day.  Now  their  cities  were 
Gibeon,  and  Chephirah,  and 
Beeroth,  and  Kirjath-jearim.  And 
the  children  of  Israel  smote  them 
not,  because  the  princes  of  the 
congregation  had  sworn  unto 
them  by  the  Lord  God  of  Israel. 
And  all  the  congregation  mur- 
mured against  the  princes.  But 
all  the  princes  said  unto  all  the 
congregation,  "We  have  sworn 
unto  them  by  the  Lord  God  of 
Israel:  now  therefore  we  may  not 
touch  them.  This  we  Avill  do  to 
them;  we  will  even  let  them  live, 
lest  wrath  be  upon  us,  because  of 
the  oath  which  we  sware  unto 
them.  And  the  princes  said  unto 
them.  Let  them  live;  but  let  them 
be  hewers  of  wood,  and  drawers 
of  water,  unto  all  the  congrega- 
tion; as  the  princes  had  promised 
them.  And  Joshua  called  for 
them,  and  he  spake  unto  them, 
saying.  Wherefore  have  ye  be- 
guiled us,  saying,  We  are  very  far 
from  you;  when  ye  dwell  among 
us?  Now  therefore  ye  are  cursed, 
and  there  shall  none  of  you  be  i 
460 


freed  from  being  bond-men,  and 
hewers  of  wood,  and  drawers  of 
water,  for  the  house  of  my 
God.  And     they      answered 

Joshua,  and  said.  Because  it  was 
certainly  told  thy  servants,  how 
that  the  Lord  thy  God  com- 
manded his  servant  Moses  to 
give  you  all  the  land,  and  to  des- 
troy all  the  inhabitants  of  the  land 
from  before  you,  therefore  we 
were  sore  afraid  of  our  lives  be- 
cause of  you,  and  have  done  this 
thing.  And  now,  behold,  we  are 
in  tliine  hand :  as  it  seemelh  good 
and  right  unto  tliee  to  do  unto  us, 
do.  And  so  did  he  unto  them, 
and  delivered  them  out  of  the 
hand  of  the  children  of  Israel, 
that  they  slew  them  not.  And 
Josliua  made  them  tliat  day  hew- 
ers of  wood,  and  drawers  of  water, 
for  the  congregation,  and  for  the 
altar  of  the  Lord,  even  unto  this 
day,  in  the  place  which  ha  should 
choose. 

Ezra  viii,  20.  Also  of  the 
Netliinims,  whom  David  and  the 
princes  had  appointed  for  the 
service  of  the  Levites,  two  hun- 
dred and  twenty  Nethinims:  all  of 
them  were  expressed  by  name,

JEWISH   ELDERS. 

Exod.  xxiv,  9.  13, 14.  Then  went 
up  Moses  and  Aaron,  Nadab,  and 
Abihu,  and  seventy  of  the  elders 
of  Israel;  And  Moses  rose  up,  and 
his  minister  Joshua:  and  Moses 
went  up  into  tlie  mount  of  God. 
And  he  said  unto  the  elders.  Tarry 
ye  here  for  us,  until  we  come  again 
unto  you:  aud,  behold,  Aaron  and 
Ilur  are  with  you:  if  any  man  have 
any  matters  to  do,  let  him  come 
unto  them. 

Num.  xi,  16,  24,  30.  And  the 
Lord  said  unto  Moses,  Gather  unto 
me  seventy  men  of  the  elders  of 
Israel,  whom  thou  knowest  to  be 
the  elders  of  the  people,  and  of- 
ficers over  them;  and  bring  them 
unto  the  tabernacle  of  the  congre- 
gation, that  they  may  stand  tiiere 
with  thee.  And  Moses  went  out, 
aud  told  the  people  the  words  of 
of  the  Lord,  and  gathered  the 
seventy  men  of  the  elders  of  the 
people,  and  set  them  round  about 
the  tabernacle.  And  Moses  gat 
him  into  the  camp,  he  and  the 
elders  of  Israel. 

Ruth  iv,  2.  And  he  took  ten  men 
of  the  elders  of  the  city,  and  said. 
Sit  ye  down  here.  And  they  sat 
down. 

Lam.  iv,  16.  The  anger  of  the 
Lord  hath  divided  them;  he  will 
no  more  regard  them:  they  res- 
pected not  the  persons  of  the 
priests,  they  favoured  not  the 
elders.

themselves  unto  the  Loud;  He 
shall  sopar.ite  himself  from  wine 
and  strong  drink,  and  shall  drink 
no  vinegar  of  wine,  or  vineprar  of 
strong  drink,  neither  shall  he 
drink  any  liquor  of  grapes,  nor 
eat  moist  grapes,  or  dried.  All 
the  days  of  his  separation  shall  he 
eat  nothing  that  is  made  of  the 
vine-tree,  from  the  kernels  even 
to  the  husk. 

Judges  xlli,  4-7,  12-14.  Now 
theretore  beware,  I  pray  thee, 
and  drink  not  wine,  nor  strong 
drink,  and  eat  not  any  unclean 
thing.  For,  lo,  thou  shall  con- 
ceive, and  bear  a  son;  and  no 
razor  shall  come  on  his  head:  for 
the  child  shall  be  a  Nazarite  unto 
God  from  the  womb;  and  he  sliall 
begin  to  deliver  Israel  out  of  the 
hand  of  the  Philistines.  Then 
the  woman  came  and  told  her 
husband,  saying,  A  mun  of  God 
came  unto  me,  and  his  counten- 
ance was  like  the  countenance  of 
an  angel  of  God,  very  terrible: 
but  1  asked  him  not  whence  he 
loas,  neither  told  he  me  his  name. 
But  he  said  unto  me.  Behold,  thou 
Shalt  conceive,  and  bear  a  son; 
and  now  drink  no  wine  nor  strong 
(irink,  neither  eat  any  unclean 
thing:  for  the  child  shall  be  a 
Ncizarite  to  God  from  the  womb 
to  the  day  of  his  death.  And 
Manoah  said.  Now  let  thy  words 
come  to  pass:  how  shall  we  order 
the  child?  and  how  shall  we  do  un- 
to him?  And  the  angel  of  the 
Lord  said  unto  Manoah,  Of  all 
that  I  said  unto  the  woman  let 
her  beware.  She  may  not  eat  of 
any  thing  that  cometh  of  the  vine, 
neither  let  her  drink  wine  or 
strong  drink,  nor  eat  any  un- 
clean thing:  all  that  I  commanded 
her  let  her  observe. 

Anwi  11, 11, 12.  And  I  raised  up 
of  your  sons  for  prophets,  and  of 
your  young  men  for  Nazarites.  Is 
it  not  even  thus,  O  ye  children  of 
Israel?  saith  the  Lord.  But  ye 
gave  the  Nazarites  wine  to  drink; 
and  commanded  the  prophets 
saying,  Prophesy  not. 

Uis  Peculiab  Rituau 
Num.  vi,  5-12.  All  the  days  of 
the  vow  of  his  separation  there 
shall  no  razor  C(jme  upon  his 
head;  until  the  days  be  fulfilled,  in 
the  which  he  separateth  himself 
unto  the  Lord  he  shall  be  holy, 
and  shall  let  the  locks  of  the  hair 
of  his  head  prow.  All  the  days 
that  he  separateth  himself  unto 
the  Loud  he  shall  come  at  no  dead 
body.     He  shall  not  make  him- 


self unclean  for  his  father,  or  for 
mother,  for  his  brother,  or  for  his 
sister,  when  they  die;  because  the 
consecration  of  his  God  is  upon 
his  head.  All  the  days  of  his 
separation  he  is  holy  unto  the 
Lord.  And  if  any  man  die  very 
suddenly  by  him,  and  he  hath 
defiled  the  head  of  his  consecra- 
tion; then  he  shall  shave  his  head 
in  the  day  of  his  cleansing,  on 
the  seventh  day  shall  he  shave  it. 
And  on  the  eighth  day  he  shall 
bring  two  turtles,  or  two  young 
pigeons,  to  the  priest,  to  the  door 
of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion. And  the  priest  shall  offer 
the  one  for  a  sin-offering,  and  the 
other  for  a  burnf -offering,  and 
make  an  atonement  for  him,  for 
that  he  sinned  by  the  dead,  and 
shall  hallow  his  head  that  same 
day.  And  he  shall  consecrate 
unto  the  Lord  the  days  of  his 
separation,  and  shall  bring  a  lamb 
of  the  first  year  for  a  trespass- 
offering:  but  the  days  that  were 
before  shall  be  lost,  because  his 
separation  was  defiled. 

Judges  xvi,  17, 19,  20.  That  he 
told  her  all  his  heart,  and  said 
unto  her.  There  hath  not  come  a 
razor  upon  mine  head;  for  I  have 
been  a  Nazarite  unto  God  from 
my  mother's  womb:  if  I  be  shaven, 
then  my  strength  will  go  from 
me,  and  I  shall  become  weak,  and 
be  like  any  other  man.  And  she 
made  him  sleep  upon  her  knees: 
and  she  called  for  a  man,  and  she 
caused  him  to  shave  off  the  seven 
locks  of  his  heart;  and  she  began  to 
afflict  him,  and  his  strength  went 
from  him.  And  she  said,  The 
Philistines  be  upon  thee,  Samson. 
And  he  awoke  out  of  his  sleep, 
and  said,  I  will  go  out,  as  at  other 
times  before,  and  shake  myself. 
And  he  wist  not  that  the  Lobd 
was  departed  from  him. 

End  of  His  Teem. 

Num.  vi,  13-21.  And  this  is  the 
law  of  the  Nazarite;  When  the 
days  of  his  separation  are  fulfilled, 
he  shall  be  brought  unto  the  door 
of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion: And  he  shall  offer  his  offer- 
ing unto  the  Lord,  one  he-lamb  of 
the  first  year  without  blemish  for 
a  burnt-offering,  and  one  ewe- 
lamb  of  the  first  year  without 
blemish  for  a  sin-offering,  and  one 
ram  without  blemish  for  peace- 
offerings.  And  a  basket  of  un- 
leavened bread,  cakes  of  fine 
flour  mingled  with  oil,  and  wafers 
of  unleavened  bread  anointed 
with  oil,  and  their  meat  offering, 
and  their  drink  offerings.  And 
the  priest  shall  bring  them  before 
the  Lord,  and  shall  offer  his  sin- 
offering,  and  his  burnt-offering. 
And  he  shall  offer  the  ram  for  a 
sacifice  of  peace  -  offerings  unto 
the  LoBD,  with  the  basket  of  un- 
461 


leavened  bread:  the  priest  shall 
offer  also  his  meat-offering,  and 
his  drink-offering.  And  the 
Nazarite  shall  shave  the  head  of 
his  separation  at  the  door  of  the 
tabernicle  of  the  congregation; 
ami  shall  take  the  ludr  of  the  head 
of  his  separation,  and  put  it  in  the 
fire  which  is  under  the  sacrifice 
of  the  peace-offerings.  And  the 
priest  shall  take  the  sodden  shoul- 
der of  the  ram.  and  one  unleaven- 
ed cake  out  of  tlie  basket,  and  one 
unleavened  wafer,  and  shall  put 
them  upon  the  hands  of  the 
Nazarite,  after  the  hair  of  his 
separation  is  shaven.  And  the 
priest  shall  wave  them /or  aAvave 
offering  before  the  Lord:  this  is 
holy  for  the  priest,  with  the  wave 
breast  and  heave  shoulder:  and 
after  that  the  Nazarite  may  drink 
wine.  This  is  the  law  of  the 
Nazarite  who  hath  vowed,  and  of 
his  offering  unto  the  Lord  lor  his 
separation,  besides  that  that  his 
hand  shall  get:  according  to  the 
vow  which  he  vowed,  so  he  must 
do  after  the  law  of  his  separation.

LEVITES 
HAD  NO  INHERITANCE. 
I^um.  xviii,  20.  And  the  Lord 
spake  unto  Aaron,  Thou  shall 
have  no  Inheritance  in  their  1  md, 
neither  shalt  thou  have  any  part 
amons  tliem:  I  am  thy  part  and 
thine  inheritance  among  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel. 

Deut.  X,  9.  Wherefore  Levi  hath 
no  part  nor  inheritance  with  his 
brethren;  the  Lord  is  his  inlierit- 
ance,  according  as  the  Lord  tliy 
God  promised  him. 

Dent,  xiv,  27.  And  the  Levite 
that  is  within  thy  gates;  thou 
Shalt  not  forsake  him;  for  he  hath 
no  pan  nor  inheritance  with 
thee. 

Deut.  xviii,  1, 2.  The  priests,  the 
Levites,  and  all  the  tribe  of  Levi, 
Shall  have  ho  part  nor  inherit- 
ance with  Israel:  they  shall  eat 
the  offerings  of  the  Lord  made  by 
fire,  and  his  inheritance.  There- 
fore sliall  they  have  no  inherit- 
ance among  tlieir  brethren:  the 
Lord  is  tlieir  inheritance,  as  he 
hath  said  unto  them. 

Josh,  xiii,  14,  33.  Only  unto  the 
tribe  of  Levi  he  gave  none  inher- 
itance; the  sacrifices  of  the  Lord 
God  of  Israel  made  by  fire  are 
their  inheritance,  as  he  said  unto 
them.  But  unto  the  tribe  of 
Levi  Moses  gave  nl  any  inberit- 
ance :  the  Lord  God  of  Israel  loas 
their  inheritance,  as  he  said  unto 
them. 

Josh,  xviii,  7.  But  the  Levites 
have  no  part  among  you ;  for  the 
priesthood  of  the  Lord  is  their

seh,  have  received  their  inherit- 
ance beyond  Jordan  on  the  east, 
which  Moses,  the  servant  of  the 
Lord,  gave  them. 

Ezek.  xliv,  28.  And  it  shall  be 
anto  them  for  an  inberitance;  I 
am  their  inheritance:  and  ye  shall 
give  them  no  possession  in  Israel; 
I  am  their  possession.

Lev.  XXV,  32-34.  "Notwithstand- 
ing the  cities  of  the  Levites,  and 
the  houses  of  the  cities  of  their 
possession,  may  the  Levites  re- 
deem at  any  time.  And  if  a  man 
purchase  of  the  Levites,  then  the 
house  that  was  sold,  and  the  city 
of  his  possession,  sliall  go  out  in 
the  year  o/ jubilee:  for  the  houses 
of  the  cities  of  the  Levites  arc 


their  possession  among  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel.  But  the  tield  of 
the  suburbs  of  their  cities  may 
not  be  sold;  for  it  is  their  perpet- 
ual possession. 

Ntim.  XXXV,  2-S.  Command  the 
children  of  Israel,  that  they  give 
unto  the  Levites,  of  the  inlierit- 
ance  of  their  pos.sesslon,  cities  to 
dwell  in;  and  ye  shall  give  also 
unto  the  Levites  suburbs  for  the 
cities  round  about  them.  And  the 
cities  shall  tbey  have  to  dwell  in  ; 
and  the  suburbs  of  them  shall  be 
for  their  cattle,  and  for  their 
goods,  and  for  all  their  beasts. 
And  the  suburbs  of  the  cities, 
wliich  ye  shall  give  unto  the  Le- 
vites, shall  reach  from  the  wall 
of  the  city  and  outward  a  thou- 
sand cubits  round  about.  And  ye 
shall  measure  from  without  the 
city  on  the  east  side  two  thousand 
cubits,  and  on  the  south  side  two 
thousand  cubits,  and  on  the  west 
side  two  thousand  cubits,  and  on 
the  north  side  two  thousand  cu- 
bits; and  the  city  shall  be  in  the 
midst :  this  shall  be  to  them  the 
suburbs  of  the  cities.  And  among 
the  cities  which  ye  shall  give  un- 
to the  Levites  there  shall  be  six 
cities  for  refuge,  which  ye  shall 
appoint  for  the  man-slayer,  that 
he  may  flee  thither:  and  to  them 
ye  shall  add  forty  and  two  cities. 
So  all  the  cities  which  ye  shall 
give  to  the  Levites  shall  be  forty 
and  eight  cities :  them  shall  ye 
give  with  their  suburbs.  And  the 
cities  which  ye  shall  give  sJiall  be 
of  the  possession  of  the  children 
of  Israel :  from  them  that  have 
many  ye  shall  give  many;  but 
from  them  that  have  few  ye  shall 
give  few  :  every  one  shall  give  of 
his  cities  unto  the  Levites  accord- 
ing to  Ills  Inheritance  which  he 
inheriteth. 

Joshua  xxl,  1-3,  41,  42.  Then 
came  near  the  heads  of  the  fathers 
of  the  Levites  unto  Eleazar  the 
priest,  and  unto  Joshua  the  son  of 
Nun,  and  unto  the  heads  of  the 
fathers  of  the  tribes  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel ;  And  they  spake 
unto  them  at  Shiloh,  in  the  land 
of  Canaan,  saying.  The  Lord  com- 
manded, by  the  hand  of  Moses,  to 
give  us  cities  to  dwell  in,  with  the 
suburbs  thereof  for  our  cattle. 
And  tlie  children  of  Israel  gave 
unto  the  Levites,  out  of  their  in- 
heritance, at  tile  commandment  of 
the  Lord,  these  cities  and  their 
suburbs.  All  the  cities  of  the 
Levites,  within  the  possession  of 
the  children  of  Israel,  tcere  forty 
and  eight  cities  with  their  suburbs. 
These  cities  were  every  one  with 
their  suburbs  round  about  them: 
thus  were  all  these  cities. 

G'en.xlvli,22,26.  Only  the  land  of 
the  priests  bought  he  [Joseph]  not: 
tot  ttie  priests  had  a  portion  as- 


signed them  of  Pharaoh,  and  did 
eat  their  purlioii  which  Pharaoh 
gave  them ;  wherefore  they  sold 
not  their  lands.  And  Joseph  made 
it  a  law  over  the  land  of  Egypt 
unto  this  &Ay,that  Pharaoh  should 
have  the  fifth  part;  except  the' 
land  of  the  priests  only,  which  be- 
came not  Pharaoh's. 

Ezra  vii,  24.  Also  we  certify 
you,  that,  touching  any  of  the 
priests  and  Levites,  singers,  por- 
ters, Nethinims,  or  ministers  of 
tills  house  of  God,  It  shdl  not  be 
lawful  to  impose  toll,  tribute,  or 
custom,  upon  them. 


Allusions  in  Ezekiel. 
Ezeh.  xlv,  1-6.  Moreover,  when 
ye  shall  divide  by  lot  the  land  for 
inlieritance,  ye  shall  oiler  an  ob- 
lation unto  the  Lord,  an  holy  por- 
tion of  the  land:  the  length  shall 
be  the  length  of  five  and  twenty 
thousand  reeds,  and  the  breadth 
shall  be  ten  thousand.  This  shall 
be  holy  in  all  the  borders  thereof 
roundabout.  Of  this  there  shall  be 
for  the  sanctuary  five  hundred  in 
length,  with  five  hundred  in 
breadth,  square  round  about;  and 
fifty  cubits  round  about  for  the 
suburbs  thereof.  And  of  this 
measure  sbalt  thou  measure  the 
length  of  five  and  twenty  thou- 
sand, and  the  breadth  of  ten  thou- 
sand :  and  in  it  shall  be  the  sanc- 
tuary and  the  most  holy  place. 
The  holy  portion  of  the  land  shall 
he  for  the  priests,  the  ministers  of 
the  sanctuary,  which  shall  come 
near  to  minister  unto  the  Lord: 
and  it  shall  be  a  place  for  their 
houses,  and  an  holy  place  for  the 
sanctuary.  And  the  five  and 
twenty  thousand  of  length,  and 
the  ten  thousand  of  breadth,  shall 
also  the  Levites,  the  ministers  of 
the  house,  have  for  themselves, 
for  a  possession  for  twenty  cham- 
bers. And  ye  shall  appoint  the 
possession  of  the  city  five  thou- 
sand broad,  and  five  and  twenty 
thousand  long,  over  agaiilst  the 
oblation  of  the  holy  portion:  it 
shall  be  for  the  whole  house  of 
Israel. 

Ezek.  xlvili,  8-20.  And  by  the 
border  of  Judah,  from  the  east 
side  unto  the  west  side,  shall  be 
the  offering  which  ye  shall  offer  of 
five  and  twenty  thousand  reeds  in 
breadth,  and  in  length  as  one  of 
the  other  parts,  from  the  east  side 
unto  the  west  side:  and  the  sano- 
tuary  shall  be  in  the  midst  of  It. 
The  oblation  that  ye  shall  offer 
unto  the  Lord  shall  be  of  five  and 
twenty  thousand  in  length,  and  of 
ten  thousand  in  breadth.  And 
for  them,  even  for  the  priests, 
shall  be  this  holy  oblation;  toward 
the  north  five  and  twenty  thou- 
sand in  length,  and  toward  the 
west  ten  thousand  in  breadth,  and 


toward  the  east  ten  thoasand  In 
breadth,  and  toward  the  south 
five  and  twenty  thousand  in 
length:  and  the  sanctuary  of  the 
Lord  shall  be  in  the  midst  thereof. 
It  shall  be  tor  the  priests  that  are 
sanctitied  of  the  sous  of  Zadok, 
which  have  kept  my  charge, 
which  went  not  astray  when  the 
cliildren  of  Israel  went  astray,  as 
the  Levites  went  astray.  And  this 
oblatiun  of  the  land  that  is  offered 
shall  be  unto  them  a  thing  most 
most  holy,  by  the  border  of  the 
Levites.  And  over  against  the 
border  of  the  priests  the  Levites 
shall  have  five  and  twenty  thou- 
sand in  length,  and  ten  thousand 
In  breadth :  all  the  length  shall  be 
five  and  twenty  thousand,  and  the 
breadth  ten  thousand.  And  they 
shall  not  sell  of  it,  neither  ex- 
change, nor  alienate  the  first- 
fruits  of  the  land;  for  it  is  holy 
unto  the  Lokd.  And  the  five 
thousand  that  are  left  iu  the 
breadth,  over  against  the  five 
and  twenty  thousand,  shall  be  a 
profane  place  for  the  city,  for 
dwelling,  and  for  suburl)s:  and  the 
city  shall  be  in  the  midst  thereof. 
And  these  shall  be  the  measures 
thereof;  the  nortli  side  four  thou-

thou  Shalt  give  me,  I  will  surely 
give  the  tenth  unto  thee. 

Heb.  vli,  4,  6, 8,  9.  Now  consider 
how  great  this  man  v)as,  unto 
whom  even  the  patriarch  Abra- 
ham gave  the  tenth  of  the  spoils. 
But  he,  whose  descent  is  not 
counted  from  them,  received 
titlies  of  Abraham,  and  blessed 
him  that  had  the  promises.  And 
here  men  that  die  receive  tithes; 
but  there  he  recelveth  them,  of 
whom  it  is  witnessed  that  he 
liveth.  And,  as  I  may  so  say, 
Levi  also,  who  recciveth  tithes, 
payed  tithes  in  Abraham. 

Also  Under  the  Jewish 
Dispensation. 

Lev.  xxvii,  30-35.  And  all  the 
tithe  of  the  land,  lohether  of  the 
seed  of  the  land,  or  of  the  fruit  of 
the  tree,  is  the  Lord's;  it  is  holy 
unto  the  Lord.  An  I  if  a  man 
will  at  all  redeem  ought  of  his 
tithes,  he  shall  add  thereto  the 
fifth  part  thereof.  And  concern- 
ing the  tithe  of  the  herd,  or  of  the 
flock,  even  of  whatsoever  passeth 
under  the  rod,  the  tenth  shall  be 
holy  unto  the  Lord.  He  shall  not 
search  whether  it  be  good  or  bad, 
neither  shall  he  change  it:  and  if 
he  change  it  at  all,  then  both  it 
and  the  change  thereof  shall  be 
holy;  it  shall  not  be  redeemed. 
These  are  the  commandments, 
which  the  Lord  commanded 
Moses,  for  the  children  of  Israel; 
in  mount  Sinai. 

Num.  xvili,  21,  24  32.  And,  be- 
hold, I  have  given  the  children  of 
Levi  all  the  tenth  in  Israel  for  an 
inheritance,  for  their  service  which 
they  serve,  even  the  service  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation. 
But  the  tithes  of  the  children  of 
Israel,  which  they  offer  as  an 
heave-offering  unto  the  Lord,  I 
have  given  to  the  Levites  to  in- 
herit: therefore  I  have  said  unto 
them,  Among  the  children  of  Is- 
rael they  shall  have  no  inherit- 
ance. And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Moses,  saying,  Thus  speak  unto 
the  Levites,  and  say  unto  them, 
When  ye  take  of  the  children  of 
Israel  the  tithes  which  I  have 
given  you  from  them  for  your  in- 
heritance, then  ye  shall  offer  up 
an  heuve-offering  of  it  for  the 
Lord,  even  a  tenth  part  of  the 
tithe.  And  this  your  heave-offer- 
ing shall  be  reckoned  unto  you  as 
though  it  were  the  corn  of  the 
thretihing-floor,  and  as  the  fulness 
of  the  wine-press.  Thus  ye  also 
shall  offer  an  heave-offering  unto 
the  Lord  of  all  your  tithes  which 
ye  receive  of  the  cliil  Iren  of  Is- 
rael; and  ye  shall  give  thereof  the 
Lord's  heave-offering  to  Aaron 
the  priest.  Out  of  all  your  gitts 
ye  shall  offer  every  heave-offering 
of  the  Lord,  of  all  the  best  thereof, 
even  the  hallowed  p.irt  thereof, 
46^1 


out  of  It.  Therefore  thon  shalt 
say  unto  them,  When  ye  have 
heaved  the  best  thereof  from  It, 
then  it  shall  be  counted  unto 
the  Levites  as  the  increase  of  the 
tlireshlng-floor,  and  as  the  in- 
crease of  the  wine-press.  And  ye 
shall  eat  it  in  every  place  ye  and 
your  household:  for  it  is  your 
reward  for  your  service  in  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation, 
And  ye  shall  bear  no  sin  by  reason 
of  it,  when  ye  have  heaved  from  it 
the  best  of  it:  neither  shall  j'e 
p()llnte  the  holy  things  of  the 
children  of  Israel,  lest  ye  die. 

Deut.  xiv,  22-26,  28,  29.  Thou 
Shalt  truly  tithe  all  the  increase 
of  thy  seed,  that  the  field  bringeth 
forth  year  by  year.  And  thou 
Shalt  eat  before  the  Lord  thy  God, 
In  the  place  which  he  shall  choose 
to  place  his  name  there,  the  tithe 
of  thy  corn,  of  thy  wine,  and  of 
thine  oil,  and  the  firstlings  of  thy 
herd?i  and  of  thy  flocks;  that  thou 
mayest  learn  to  fear  the  Lord  thy 
God  always.  And  if  the  way  be 
too  long  for  thee,  so  that  thou  art 
not  able  to  carry  it;  or  if  the  place 
be  too  far  from  thee,  which  the 
Lord  thy  God  shall  choose  to  set 
his  name  there,  when  the  Lord 
thy  God  hath  blessed  thee;  Then 
Shalt  thou  turn  it  into  money,  and 
bind  up  the  money  in  thine  hand, 
and  Shalt  go  unto  the  place  which 
the  Lord  thy  God  shall  choose : 
And  thou  shalt  bestow  that  money 
for  whatsoever  thy  soul  lusteth 
after,  for  oxen,  or  for  sheep,  or  for 
wine,  or  for  strong  drink,  or  for 
whatsoever  thy  soul  desireth:  and 
thou  Shalt  eat  there  before  the 
Lord  thy  God,  and  thou  shalt  re- 
joice, thou,  and  thine  household. 
At  the  end  of  three  years  thou 
Shalt  bring  forth  all  the  tithe  of 
thine  increase  the  same  year,  and 
Shalt  lay  it  up  within  thy  gates: 
And  the  Levite,  (because  he  hath 
no  part  nor  inheritance  with  thee,) 
and  the  stranger,  and  the  father- 
less, and  the  widow,  which  are 
within  thy  gates,  shall  come,  and 
shall  eat  and  be  satisfied;  that  the 
Lord  thy  God  may  bless  thee  in 
all  the  work  of  thine  hand  which 
thou  doest. 

Detit.  xxvl,  11-13.  And  thou 
shalt  rejoice  in  every  good  thing 
which  the  Lord  thy  God  hath 
given  unto  thee,  and  unto  thine 
house,  thou,  and  the  Levite,  and

year  of  tithing,  and  hast  given  it 
unio  the  Levite,  the  stranger,  the 
fatherless,  and  the  widow,  that 
they  may  eat  within  thy  gafes, 
and  be  filled;  Then  thou  shalt  say

as  the  commandment  came 
abroad,  the  children  of  Israel 
brouglit  In  abundance  the  first- 
fruits  of  corn,  wine,  and  oil,  and 
honey,  and  of  all  the  increase  of

brouglit  they  in  abundantly.  And 
concerning  the  children  of  Israel 
and  Judab.that  dwelt  in  the  cities 
of  Jndah,  they  also  brought  in 
the  titlie  of  oxen  and  sheep,  and 
the  tithe  of  holy  things  lohicli  were 
consecrated  unto  the  Lokd  their 
God,  and   laid   them   by  heaps. 

Neh.  X,  38.  And  the  priest  the

Heb.  vii,  5.  And  verily  they  that 
are  of  the  j^ous  of  Levi,  who  re-

have  a  commandment  to  take 
tithes  of  the  people  according  to 
the  law,  that  is,  of  their  brethren, 
though  they  come  out  of  the  loins 
of  Abraham. 


Mai.  lii,  8-11.  Will  a  man  rob 
God?  Yet  ye  liave  robbed  me. 
But  ye  say,  Wherein  have  we 
robbed  thee?  In  tithes  and  offer- 
ings. Ye  are  cursed  with  a  curse: 
for  ye  have  robbed  me,  even  this 
whole  nation.  Bring  ye  all  the 
tithes  into  the  storehouse,  that 
there  may  be  meat  in  mine  house, 
and  prove  me  now  herewith, 
saith  the  Lokd  of  hosts,  if  I  will 
not  open  you  the  windows  of 
heaven,  and  pour  you  out  a  bless- 
ing, that  thej'e  shall  not  be  room 
enough  to  receive  it.  And  I  will 
rebuke  the  devourer  for  your 
sakes,  and  he  shall  not  destroy 
the  fruits  of  your  ground;  neither 
shall  your  vine  cast  her  fruit  be-

FIRST-FRUITS. 

Exod.  xxiii,  19.  The  first  of  the 
first-fruits  of  thy  land  thou  shalt 
bring  into  the  house  of  the  Lord

a  kid  in  his  mother's  milk. 

Num.  xviii,  12, 13.  All  the  best

basket,  and  shalt  go  unto  the 
place  which  the  Lord  thy  God 
shall  choose,  to  place  his  name 
there.  And  the  priest  shall  take

crease: So  shall  thy  barns  be  filled 
with  plenty,  and  thy  presses  shall 
burst  out  with  new  wine. 

JSzek.  XX,  40.  For  in  mine  holy 
mountain,  ....  there  will  I  ac- 
cept them,  and  there  will  I  re- 
quire your  offerings,  and  the  first- 
fruits  of  your  oblations,  with  all 
your  holy  things. 

Ezek.  xliv,  30.  And  the  first  of 
all  the  first-fruits  of  all  things,  and 
every  oblation  of  all,  of  every  sort 
of  your  oblations,  shall  be  the 
priest's:  ye  shall  slso  give  unto 
the  priest  the  first  of  your  dough, 
that  he  may  cause  the  blessing  to 
rest  in  thine  house. 

Bom.  xi,  16.  For  if  the  first  fruit 
be  holy,  the  lump  is  also  holy:  and 
if  the  root  be  holy,  so  are  the 
branches.  ^ 

FIRSTLINGS. 
Exod.  xiii,  2,  11-13.  Sanctify 
unto  me  all  the  first-born,  wliat- 
soever  openeth  the  womb  among 
the  children  of  Israel,  both  of  man 
and  of  beast:  And  it  shall  be, 
when  the  Lord  shall  bring  thee 
into  the  land  of  the  Canaanites, 
as  he  sware  unto  thee  and  to  thy 
fathers,  and  shall  give  it  thee. 
That  thou  Shalt  set  apart  unto 
the  Lokd  all   that  openeth  the 


matrix,  and  every  firstling  that 
Cometh  of  a  beast  wliich  thou 
hast;  the  males  shall  be  the 
Lord's  :  And  every  firsiliug  of  an 
ass  thou  Shalt  redeem  with  a 
lamb;  and  if  thou  wilt  not  redeem 
it  then  thou  shalt  break  his  neck: 
and  all  the  first  -  born  of  man 
among  thy  children  shalt  thou 
redeem. 

Exod.  xxii,  29,  30.  Thou  shalt 
not  delay  to  offer  the  first  of  thy 
ripe  fruits,  and  of  thy  liquors: 
the  first  -  born  of  thy  sons  sh  ilt 
thou  give  unto  me.  Like>\ise 
slialt  thou  do  with  thine  oxen, 
and  witli  thy  sheep :  seven  days 
it  shall  be  with  his  dam;  on  the 
eighth  day  thou  shalt  give  it 
me. 

Exod.  xxxiv,  19,  20.  All  that 
openeth  the  matrix  is  mine;  and 
every  firstling  among  thy  cattle, 
v)hether  ox  or  sheep,  that  is  male. 
But  the  firstling  of  an  ass  thou 
shalt  redeem  with  a  lamb:  and  if 
thou  redeem  him  not,  then  shalt 
thou  break  Ids  neck.  All  the 
first-born  of  thy  sons  thou  ehalt 
redeem;  and  none  shall  appear 
before  me  empty. 

Lev.  xxvii,  26,  27.  Only  the  first- 
ling of  the  beasts,  which  should 
be  the  Lord's  firstling,  no  man 
shall  sanctify  it;  whether  it  be  ox 
or  sheep:  it  is  the  Lord's.  And 
if  it  be  of  an  unclean  beast,  then 
he  shall  redeem  it  according  to 
thine  estimation,  and  shall  add  a 
fifth  part  of  it  thereto:  or  if  it  be 
not  redeemed,  then  it  shall  be  sold 
according  to  thy  estimation. 

Num.  ill,  13.  Because  all  the 
first-born  are  mine:  for  on  the 
day  that  I  smote  all  the  first-born 
in  the  land  of  Egypt,  I  hallowed 
unto  me  all  the  first-born  in  Israel, 
both  man  and  least;  mine  they 
shall  be:  1  am  the  Lord. 

Num.  xviii,  15-18.  Every  thing 
that  openeth  the  matrix  in  all 
flesh,  which  they  bring  unto  the 
Lord,  whether  it  be  of  men  or 
bensts,  shall  be  thine:  neverthe- 
less the  first-born  of  man  sliait 
thou  surely  redeem,  and  the  first- 
ling of  unclean  beasts  shalt  thou 
redeem.  And  those  that  are  to  be 
redeemed,  from  a  month  old  shalt 
thou  redeem,  according  to  thine 
estimation,  for  the  money  of  five 
shekels,  after  the  shekel  of  the 
sanctuary,  which  is  twenty  gerahs. 
But  the  firstling  of  a  cow,  or  the 
firstling  of  a  sheep,  or  the  first- 
ling of  a  goat,  thou  shalt  not  re- 
deem; they  are  holy:  thou  shalt 
sprinkle  their  blood  upon  the 
altar,  and  shalt  burn  their  fat  for 
an  offering  made  by  fire,  for  a 
sweet  savour  unto  the  Lord.  And 
tlie  flesh  of  them  shall  be  thine, 
as  the  wave -breast  and  as  the 
right  shoulder  are  thine.

Neh.  X,  36.  Also  the  first-born  of 
our  sons,  and  of  our  cattle,  (as  it  is 
written  in  the  law,)  and  the  first- 
lings of  our  herds,  and  of  our

PORTIONS  OF  THE  SACRI- 
FICE. 

Exod.  xxix,  26-28,  31,  32.  And 
thou  slialt  take  tlie  breast  of  the 
ram  of  Aaron's  consecration,  and 
wave  it /or  a  wave-ofi"eringbefore 
the  Lokd:  and  it  shall  be  thy  part. 
And  thou  shalt  sanctify  the  breast 
of  the  wave-ofi'ering,  and  the 
shoulder  of  the  heave  -  offering, 
which  is  waved,  and  which  is 
heaved  up,  of  the  ram  of  the  con- 
secration, even  of  that  which  is 
for  Aaron,  and  of  that  wliich  is 
for  his  sons.  And  it  shall  be 
Aaron's  and  his  sons'  by  a  statute 
for  ever  from  the  children  of 
Israel;  for  it  is  an  heave-offering: 
and  it  shall  be  an  heave-offering 
from  the  children  of  Israel  of  the 
sacrifice  of  tlieir  peace-offerings, 
even  their  Ik  ave-offering  unto  the 
Lord.  iA.nd  thou  shalt  take  the 
ram  of  the  consecration,  and 
seethe  his  flesh  in  the  holy  place. 
And  Aaron  and  his  sons  shall  eat 
the  flesli  of  the  ram,  and  the  bread 
that  is  in  the  basket,  by  the  door 
of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregar 
tion. 

Lev.  vii,  7-10, 31-88.  As  the  sin- 
offering  is,  so  ^■stlletlespa^s-offer- 
ing;  there  is  one  law  lor  them;  the 
priest  that  maketh  atonement 
therewith  shall  have  it.  And  the 
priest  that  offereth  any  man's 
burnt  -  offering,  even  the  priest 
shall  have  to  himself  the  skin  of 
the  burnt-offering  which  he  hath 
offered.  And  all  the  meat-offer- 
ing that  is  baken  in  the  oven,  and 
all  that  is  dressed  in  the  frying- 
pan,  and  in  the  pan,  shall  be  tlie 
priest's  that  olfereth  it.  And  every 
meat-offering  mingled  with  oil, 
and  dry,  shall  all  the  sons  of  Aaron 
have,  one  as  much  as  another. 
And  the  priest  shall  burn  the  fat 
upon  the  altar;  but  the  breast 
shull  be  Aaron's  and  his  sons'. 
And  the  right  shoulder  shall  ye 
give  unto  the  priest /or  an  heave- 
off,  ring  of  the  sacrifices  of  your 
peace-offerings.  He  among  the 
sons  of  Aaron  that  offereth  the 
blood  of  the  peace-offerings,  and 
the  fat,  shall  have  the  rigiit  shoul- 
der for  his  part.  For  the  wave- 
breast  and  the  heave  -  shoulder 
have  I  taken  ol  the  children  of 
Israel  from  off  the  sacrifices  of 
tlieir  peace  -  offerings,  and  have 
given  them  unto  Aaron  the  priest, 
and  unto  his  sons,  by  a  statute 
lor  ever,  from  among  the  children 


of  Israel.  This  is  the  portion  of 
the  anointing  of  Aaron,  and  of 
the  anointing  of  his  sons,  out  of 
the  offerings  of  the  Lord  made  by 
fire,  in  the  day  when  he  presented 
them  to  minister  unto  the  Lord 
in  the  priest's  office;  Wliich  the 
Lord  commanded  to  be  given 
them  of  tlie  children  of  Israel,  in 
the  day  that  he  anointed  them,  by 
a  statute  for  ever  throughout  their 
generations.  This  is  the  law  of 
the  burnt-offering,  of  the  meat- 
offering, and  of  the  sin-offering, 
and  of  the  trespass-offering,  and 
of  the  consecrations,  and  of  the 
sacrifice  of  the  peace-olferings. 
Which  the  Lord  commanded 
Moses  in  mount  Sinai,  in  the  day 
that  he  commanded  the  children 
of  Israel  to  offer  their  oblations 
unto  the  Lord,  in  the  wilderness 
of  Sinai. 

Lev.  viii,  31.  And  Moses  said 
unto  Aaron  and  to  his  sons.  Boil 
the  fiesh  at  the  door  of  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation;  and 
there  eat  it  with  the  bread  that  is 
in  the  basket  of  consecrations,  as 
I  commanded,  saying,  Aaron  and 
his  sous  shall  eat  it. 

Lev.  X,  12-18.  And  Moses  spake 
unto  Aaron,  and  unto  Eleazar  and 
unto  Ithamar,  his  sons  that  were 
left.  Take  the  meat-offering  that 
remaineth  of  the  offerings  of  the 
Lord  made  by  fire,  and  eat  it 
without  leaven  beside  the  altar; 
for  it  is  most  holy.  And  ye  shall 
eat  it  in  the  holy  place,  because  it 
is  thy  due,  and  thy  sons'  due,  of 
the  sacrifices  of  the  Lord  made 
by  fire:  for  so  I  am  commanded. 
And  the  wave-breast  and  heave- 
shoulder  shall  ye  eat  in  a  clean 
place;  thou,  and  thy  sons,  and  thy 
daughters  with  thee:  for  they  be 
thy  due,  and  tiiy  sons'  due,  which 
are  given  out  of  the  sacrifices  of 
peace-offerings  of  the  cliildren  of 
Israel.  The  heave-shoulder  and 
the  wave-breast  shall  they  bring, 
with  the  offerings  made  by  fire  of 
the  fat,  to  wave  it  for  a  wave- 
offering  before  the  L(mD;  ami  it 
shall  be  thine,  and  thy  sons'  with 
thee,  by  a  statute  for  ever;  as  the 
Lord  hath  commanded.  And 
Moses  diligently  sought  the  goat 
of  the  sin-offering,  and,  behold,  it 
was  burnt:  and  he  was  angry  with 
Eleazar  and  Itliamar,  the  sons  of 
Aaron  lohich  were  left  alive,  say- 
ing, Wherefore  have  ye  not  eaten 
the  sin-offering  in  the  holy  place, 
seeing  it  is  most  holy,  and  God 
hath  given  it  you  to  bear  the  ini- 
quity of  tlie  congregation,  to  make 
atonement  for  them  before  the 
Lord?  Behold,  the  blood  of  it  was 
not  brought  in  within  the  holy 
place:  ye  should  indeed  have 
eaten  it  in  the  holy  place,  as  I 
commanded. 

Num.  V,  9,  10.  And  every  offer- 
ing of  all  the  holy  things  uf  the 


children  of  Israel,  which  tlioy 
bring  unto  the  priest,  shall  be  his. 
And  every  man's  hallow Bd  things 
shall  be  his:  whatsoever  any  maa 
giveth  the  priest,  it  shall  be  his. 

Num.  xviii,  8-11.  And  the  Lord 
spake  unto  Aaron,  Behold,  I  also 
have  given  thee  the  charge  of 
mine  heave-offerings  of  all  the 
hallowed  things  of  the  cliildren  of 
Israel;  unto  thee  have  I  given 
tliem  by  reason  of  the  anointing, 
and  to  thy  sons,  by  an  ordinance 
for  ever.  This  shall  be  thine  of- 
the  most  holy  things,  reserved 
from  the  fire;  every  oblation  of 
theirs,  every  meat -offering  of 
theirs,  and  every  sin-offering  of 
theirs,  and  every  trespass-offering 
of  theirs,  which  they  shall  render 
unto  me,  shall  be  most  holy  for 
thee,  and  for  thy  sons,  in  the 
mast  holy  place-  shalt  thou  eat  it; 
every  male  shall  eat  it:  it  shall  be 
holy  unto  thee.  And  this  is  thine; 
the  heave-offering  of  their  gift, 
with  all  the  wave-offerings  of  the 
children  of  Israel:  I  have  given 
them  unto  thee,  and  to  thy  sons, 
and  to  thy  daughters  with  thee, 
by  a  statute  for  ever;  every  one 
that  is  clean  in  thy  house  shall 
eat  of  It. 

Deut.  xviii,  3.  And  this  shall  be 
the  priest's  due  from  tlie  people, 
from  them  that  offer  a  sacrifice, 
whether  it  be  ox  or  sheep;  and 
they  shall  give  unto  the  priest 
the  shoulder,  and  the  two  cheeks, 
and  the  maw. 

1  Cor.  ix,  13.  Do  ye  not  know 
that  they  which  minister  about 
holy  things  live  of  the  things  of 
the  temple?  and. they  whicli  wait 
at  the  aliar  are  partakers  with  the 
altar? 

FINES  IN  MONEY. 
Num.  V,  8.  But  if  the  man  have 
no  kinsman  to  recompense  the 
trespass  unto,  let  the  trespass  be 
recompensed  unto  the  Lord,  even 
to  the  priest,  besides  the  ram  of 
the  atonement,  whereby  an  atone- 
ment shall  be  made  for"  him. 

2  Kings  xii,  16.  The  trespa.ss- 
money  and  sin-money  was  not 
brought  into  the  house  of  *hQ 
Lord:  it  was  the  priests.' 

Redemption  Monet. 
Num.  iii,  46-51.  And  for  those 
that  are  to  be  redeemed  of  the 
two  hundred  and  threescore  and 
thirteen  of  the  flr.-t-born  of  the 
children  of  Israel,  which  are  more 
than  the  Levites;  Thou  shalt  even 
take  five  shekels  apiece  by  the 
poll;  after  the  shekel  of  the  sanc- 
tuary shalt  thou  take  them:  (the 
shekel  is  twenty  gerahs:)  And 
thou  Shalt  give  the  money,  where- 
with the  odd  number  of  them  is 
to  be  redeemed,  unto  Aaron,  and

to  hfs  sons.  And  Mosps  took  the 
redemption-money  of  tbem  that 
were  over  and  above  them  that 
were  reieemed  by  the  Levites. 
Of  the  flrtil-oorn  of  the  childn  n  of 
Israel  took  he  the  money;  a  thou- 
sand three  hnndrcd  and  three- 
score and  five  shekels,  after  the 
shekel  cf  the  sanctuary.  And 
Moses  gave  the  money  of  them 
that  were  redeemed  unto  Aaron, 
and  to  his  sons,  according  to  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  as  the  Lobd 
commanded  Moaus. 

POLL  TAX. 

Exod.xxx,  12-16.  When  thou 
takest,  the  sum  of  the  children  of 
Israel  after  their  number,  then 
shall  they  give  every  man  a 
ransom  for  bis  soul  unto  the 
Lord,  wlien  thou  uuinberest  them; 
that  there  be  no  plague  among 
them,  when  thou  numberest 
them.  TIjIs  they  sliall  give,  every

that  are  numbered,  half  a  shekel, 
after  the  sliekel  of  tlie  sanctuary: 
(a  shekel  is  twenty  gerahs:)  an

theLoriD  Every  one  that  passeth 
among  them  tliat  are  numbered, 
from  twenty  years  old  and  above, 
Bhill  give  an  offering  unto  the 
Lord.  The  rich  shall  not  give 
more,  and  the  poor  shall  not  give 
less,  than  halt  a  shekel,  when  the?/ 
give  an  (ifTering  unto  the  Lord,  to 
make  atonement  for  your  souls. 
And  thou  shalt  take  the  atone- 
ment-money of  the  children  of 
Israel,  and  phidt  appoint  it  for  the 
service  of  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation;  that  It  may  be  a 
mmioiial  unto  the  children  of 
Israel  before  the  Lord,  to  make 
an  atonement  for  your  souls. 

Exod.  xxxviii,  25,  26.  And  the

BOOTY  GIVEN  TO  GOD. 

Num.  xxxi,  26-31,  47.  Take  the 
sum  of  the  prey  that  was  taken, 
both  of  man  and  of  beast,  thou, 
and  Eleazar  the  priest,  and  the 
chief  tai hi  is  of  the  congregation; 
And  divide  the  prey  into  two 
parts,  between  them  that  took  the 
war  upon  them,  who  went  out  to 
battle,  and  between  all  the  con- 
gregation; And  levy  a  tribute  un- 
to the  LoRu  of  the  mi  n  of  war 
which  went  out  to  battle:  onu  soul 


of  five  hundred,  both  of  the  per- 
sc^ns,  and  of  the  beeves,  and  of  the 
asses,  and  of  the  sheep.  Take  it 
of  their  half,  and  give  it  unto 
Eleazar  the  priest, /or  an  heave- 
offering  of  the  Lord.  And  of  the 
children  of  Israel's  half,  thou 
Shalt  take  one  porticm  of  fifty,  of 
the  persons,  of  the  beeves,  and  of 
the  asses,  and  of  the  flocks,  of  all 
manner  of  beasts,  and  give  them 
unto  the  Levites,  which  keep  the 
ci large  of  the  tabernacle  of  the 
Lord.  And  Moses  and  Eleazar 
the  priest  did  as  the  Lord  com- 
manded Moses.  Even  of  the 
children  of  Israel's  half,  Moses 
took  one  portion  of  fifty,  both  of 
man  and  of  beast,  and  gave  them 
unto  the  Levites,  which  kept  the 
charge  of  the  tabernacle  of  the 
Lord:  as  the  Loko  commanded 
Moses. 

Joshua  vl,  19.  But  all  the  silver,

iron,  are  consecrated  unto  the 
Lord:  they  shall  come  into  the 
treasury  of  the  Lord. 

Isa.  xxiii,  18.  And  her  mer- 
chandise and  her  hire  shall  be 
holiness  to  the  Lord:  it  shall  not 
be  tr<  asurcd  nor  laid  up;  for  her 
merchandise  shall  he  for  them 
that  dwell  before  the  Lord,  to 
eat  sulRciently,  and  for  durable 
clothing.

tributo  loas  threescore  and  one. 
An!  the  persons  loere  sixteen 
thousand,  of  which  the  Lord's

bute, rohich  teas  the  Lord's  heave- 
offering,  unto  Eleazar  the  priest: 
as  the  Lord  commanded  Moses. 
And  the  officers  which  tvere  over 
thousands  of  the  host,  the  captains 
of  thousands,  and  captains  of 
hundreds,  came  near  unto  Moses: 
And  they  said  unto  Moses,  Thy 
servants  have  taken  the  sum  of 
the  men  of  war  which  are  under 
our  charge,  and  there  lacketh  not 
one  nian  of  us.  We  have  there- 
lore  brought  an  oblation  for  the 
Lord,  what  every  man  hath  got- 
ten, of  jewels  of  gold,  chains,  and 
bracelets,  rings,  ear-rings,  and 
tablets,  to  make  an  atonement  for 
our  souls  before  the  Lord.  And 
Moses  and  Eleazar  the  priest  took 
the  gold  of  them,  even  all  wrought 
jewels.  {Fur  the  men  of  war  had 
taken  spoil,  every  man  for  him- 
sell:)  And  Moses  and  Eleazar  the 
l)rifst  took  the  gold  of  the  cap- 
taius  of  thousands  and  of   hun- 


dreds, and  brought  It  Into  th.e 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation, 
for  a  memorial  for  the  children  of 
Israel  before  the  Loud. 

Joshua  vi,  24.  And  they  burned 
the  city  with  fire,  and  all  that 
was  therein:  only  the  silver,  and 
the  gold,  and  the  vessels  of  brass 
and  of  iron,  they  put  into  the 
treasury  of  the  house  of  the 
Loud. 

1  Satn.  XV,  14,  15,  21.  And 
Samuel  said.  What  meancth  then 
this  bleating  of  the  sheep  in  min» 
ears,  and  the  lowing  of  the  oxen 
which  I  hear?  And  Saul  said. 
They  have  brought  them  from 
the  Amalekites:  lor  the  people 
spared  the  best  of  the  sheep 
and  of  the  oxen  to  sacrifice  unto 
the  Lord  thy  God;  and  the  rest 
we  have  utterly  destroyed.  But 
the  people  took  of  the  spoil,  sheep 
and  oxen,  the  chief  of  the  things 
which  should  have  been  utterly 
destroyed,  to  sacrifice  unto  the 
Lord  thy  God  in  Gilgal.

with  him  vessels  of  silver,  and 
vessels  of  gold,  and  vessels  of 
brass:  Which  also  king  David  did 
dedicate  unto  the  Lord,  with  tiie 
silver  and  gold  that  he  had  dedi- 
cated of  all  nations  which  he 
subdued:  Of  Syria,  and  of  Moab, 
and  of  the  children  of  Ammon, 
and  of  the  Philistines,  and  of 
Amalek,  and  of  the  spoil  of 
Iladadezer,  son  of  Rehob,  king  of 
Zobah. 

1  Qhron.  xviii,  7,  8.  And  David 
took  the  shields  of  gold  that  Avere 
on  the  servants  of  Had  are  zer,  and 
brought  them  to  Jerusalem. 
Likewise  from  Tibhath,  and  from 
Chun,  cities  of  lladarezer,  brought 
David  very  much  brass,  where- 
with Solomon  made  thebrasen  sea, 
and  the  pillars,  and  the  vessels  of 
brass,

spoils  won  in  battles  did  they

THE  SACRED  TREASURY. 

1  Qhron.  xxvl,  20,  26,  28.  And  of 
the  Levites,  Ahijah  was  over  the 
treasures  of  the  house  of  God, 
and  over  the  treasures  of  the  t!e- 
dicated  things.  Which  Shelo- 
mithandhis  brethren  were  over 
all  the  treasures  of  the  didicated 
things,  which  David  the  king,  and 
the  chief  fathers,  the  captains 
over  thousands  and  hundreds, 
and  the  captains  of  the  host,  had 
dedicated.  And  all  that  Samuel 
the  seer,  and  Saul  the  son  of 
Kish,  and  Abner  the  son  of  Ner, 
and  .Joab  tiie  son  of  Zeruiah,  had

dedlcaterl  any  thing,  it  was  under 
the  hand  of  Shelomith,  and  of  his 
brethren. 

2  Qhron.  y,  1.  Thus  all  the  work 
that  Solomon  made  for  the  house 
of  tlie  LoBD  was  finisheih  aud 
Solomon  brought  in  all  the  things 
that  David  his  father  had  deli- 
cated;  and  the  silver,  and  tlie  gold, 
and  all  the  instruments,  put  he 
among  the  treasures  of  the  house 
of  God. 

2  Cfiron.  xxxi,  7-13.  In  the 
third  month  they  began  to  lay 
the  foundation  of  the  heaps,  and 
finished  them  in  the  seventh 
month.  And  when  Ilezekiah  and 
the  princes  came  and  saw  the 
heaps,  they  blessed  the  Lord,  and 
his  people  Israel.  Tlien  Hezekiah 
questioned  with  the  priests  and 
the  Levites  concerning  the  heaps. 
And  Azariah  the  chief  priest,  of 
the  house  of  Zadok,  answered 
him,  and  said,  Since  the  people 
began  to  bring  the  offerings  into 
the  house  of  the  Lobu,  we  have 
had  enough  to  eat,  and  have 
left  plenty:  for  the  Lord  hath 
blessed  his  people;  and  that  wliich 
Is  left  is  this  great  store.  Tl^en 
Ilezekiah  commanded  to  pre- 
pare chambers  in  the  liou^e  of  tlie 
Lord;  and  they  prepared  them, 
And  brought  in  the  ufferings,  and 
the  tithes,  and  the  dedicated 
things,  faitlifully:  over  which 
Cunoniah  the  Levite  luas  ruler, 
and  Slilmel  his  brotlier  loas  tlie 
next.  And  Jeliiel,  and  Azaziah, 
and  Nahath,  and  Asaliel,  aud 
Jerimoth,  and  Jozabad,  and  Eliel, 
and  Ismachlali,  and  Mahalh,  and 
Beuaiah,  were  overseers,  under 
the  hand  of  Coiioniah  and  Sliimel 
his  brother,  at  the  commandment 
of  Ilezekiah  the  king,  and  Azariah 
the  ruler  of  the  house  of  God. 

J\f^.  xil,  44.  And  at  that  time 
were  some  appointed  over  the 
chambers  for  the  treasures,  for 
the  offerings,  for  tiie  first-fruits, 
and  for  the  tithes,  to  gather  into 
them,  out  of  the  fields  of  tiie 
cities,  the  portions  of  tlie  law  for 
the  priests  and  Levites:  for  Juilah 
rejoiced  for  the  priests  and  for  the 
Levites  that  waited. 

Neh,  xiii,  12,  13.  Then  brought 
all  J  udah  tlie  tithe  of  the  corn, 
and  the  new  wine,  and  the  oil, 
unto  the  treasuries.  And  I  made 
treasurers  over  the  treasuries, 
Shelemiah  the  priest,  and  Zadok 
the  scribe;  and  of  the  Levites, 
Pedaiah;  and  next  to  them  icas 
Hanan  the  son  of  Zaccur,  the 
son  of  Mattaniah:  for  they  were 
Counted  faithful;  aud  their  office 
loas  to  distribute  unto  their 
brethren.

2  Chron.  xxxi,  4.  15-19.  More- 
over, he  commanded  the  people 
that  dwelt  in  Jerusalem  to  give 
the  portion  of  the  priests  nnd  the 
Levites,  that  they  miglit  be  en- 
couraged In  the  law  of  the  Lord. 
And  next  him  were  Eden,  and 
Minianiln,  and  Jeshua,  iind  She- 
malah,  Amarlah,  and  Shecaniah, 
in  tlie  cities  of  the  priests,  In 
their  set  office,  to  give  to  their 
brethren  by  courses,  as  well  to 
the  great  as  to  the  small.  Besides 
their  genealogy  of  males,  from 
three  years  old  and  upward,  even 
unto  every  one  that  entereth  into 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  his  daily 
portion  for  their  service  in  their 
charges,  according  to  their  cour- 
ses; Both  to  the  genealogy  of  the 
priests  by  the  liouse  of  tlieir 
fathers,  and  the  Levites  from 
twenty  years  old  and  upward, 
in  their  charges,  by  their  courses: 
And  to  the  g.  nealugy  of  all  their 
little  ones,  their  wives,  and  their 
sons,  and  tlieir  daughters,  through 
all  tlie  congregation :  for  In  their 
set  office  ihey  sanctified  them- 
selves in  hollne.ss.  Also  of  the 
sons  of  Aaron  the  priests,  which 
icere  in  the  fields  of  the  suburbs 
of  their  cities.  In  every  several 
city,  the  men  that  were  expressed 
by  name,  to  give  portions  to  ad 
the  males  among  the  priests,  and 
to  all  that  were  reckoned  by  gen- 
ealogies among  the  Levites. 

Neh.  xll,  47.  And  all  Israel,  in 
the  days  of  Zerubbabel,  and  In 
the  days  of  Neheniiah,  gave  the 
portions  of  the  singers  and  the 
psrters,  every  day  Ids  portion : 
and  they  sanctified  holy  things 
unto  the  Levites;  and  the  Levites 
sanctified  them  unto  the  children 
of  Aaron. 

Xeh.  xlil,  10, 11.  And  I  perceived 
that  the  portions  of  the  Levites 
bad  not  been  given  them:  for  the 
Levites  and  the  singers,  that  did 
the  work,  were  fled  every  one  to 
his  field.  Then  contended  1  with 
the  rulers,  and  said,  Why  is  the 
house  of  God  forsaken  ?  And  I 
gathered  them  together,  and  set 
them  in  their  place.

2  Kings  xll,  4,  9, 10.  And  Jeho-

money  of  the  dedicated  things 
that  is  brought  into  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  even  the  money  of 
every  one  that  passeth  the  ac- 
count, the  money  that  every  man 
is  set  at,  and  all  the  money  that 
coraeth  into  any  man's  heart  to 
bring  into  the  house  of  the  Lord. 
But  Jelioiada  the  priest  took  a 
chest,  and  bored  a  hole  in  the  lid 
of  it,  and  8et  it  beside  the  altar, 
on  the  right  side  as  one  cometh 
into  the  house  of  the  Lord:  and 
the  priests  that  kept  the  door  put 
therein  all  the  money  tliat  was 
brought  into  the  house  of  the 
Loud.  And  It  was  so,  when  they 
saw  that  there  was  much  money 
in  the  chest,  that  the  king's  scribe 
and  the  high  priest  came  up,  and 
they  put  up  in  b^^^a,  and  told  the 


money    that   was  found  ^n   the 
house  of  the  Lord 

2  Kings  xxii,  3,  4.  And  it  came 
to  pass  in  the  eighteenth  year  of 
king  Josiah,  that  the  king  sent 
Shaphan  the  son  of  Azaliah,  the 
son  of  MeshuUam,  the  scribe,  to 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  saying.  Go

2  Chron.  xxxiv,  17.  And  they

the  hand  of  the  workmen. 


CHEERFUL  GIFTS. 
Exod.  XXXV,  20,  21,  29.  And  all 
the  congregation  of  the  chihiren 
of  Israel  departed  from  the  pres- 
ence of  Moses.  And  they  came, 
every  one  whose  heart  stirred 
him  up,  and  every  one  whom  his 
spirit  made  willing,  and  they 
brought  the  Lord's  offering  to  the 
work  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation, and  for  all  his  service, 
and  for  the  holy  garments.  The 
children  of  Israel  brought  a  will- 
ing offering  unto  the  Lord  every 
man  and  woman,  whose  heart 
made  them  willing  to  bring,  for 
all  manner  of  work  which  the 
Lord  had  commanded  to  be  made 
by  the  hand  of  Moses. 

Exod.  xxxvi,  3-7.  And  they  re- 
ceived of  Moses  all  the  offering 
which  the  children  of  Israel  had 
brought  for  the  work  ot  the  ser- 
vice of  the  sanctuary,  to  make  it 
withal.  And  they  brought  yet 
unto  him  free  -  offerings  every 
morning.  And  all  the  wise  men, 
that  wrought  all  the  work  of  the 
sanctuary,  came  every  man  from 
his  work  which  they  made;  And 
they  spake  unto  Moses,  saying. 
The  people  bring  much  more 
than  enough  for  the  service 
of  the  work  wliich  the  Loud  com- 
manded to  make.  And  Moses 
gave  commandment,  and  they 
caused  it  to  be  proclaimed 
throughout  the  camp,  saying,  Let 
neiiher  man  nor  woman  make 
any  more  work  lor  the  offering  of 
the  sanctuary.  So  the  people 
were  restrained  from  bringing. 
For  the  stuff  they  had  was  suffici- 
ent for  all  the  work  to  make  it, 
and  too  much. 

1  Chron.  xxlx,  6,  17.  Then  the 


chief  of  the  fathors,  and  princes  of 
tbe  tribes  of  Israel,  and  the  cap- 
tains of  thousands  and  of  hun- 
dreds, with  the  rulers  over  the 
king's  work,  offered  willingly. 
I  know  also,  my  God,  that  tliou 
triest  the  heart,  and  hast  pleasure 
In  uprightness.  As  for  me,  in  the 
uprightness  of  mine  heart  I  have

and  now  have  I  seen  with  joy  tliy 
people,  which  are  present  here,  to 
offer  willingly  unto  thee. 

Ezra  li,  68.  And  some  of  the 
chief  of  the  fathers,  wlien  they 
came  to  the  house  of  the  Lord 
which  is  at  Jerusalem,  offered 
freely  for  the  house  of  God,  to 
set  it  up  in  his  place. 


DEVOTED  THINGS. 
Lev.  xxvii,  ,2.  8-23,  28,  29.  Speak 
tinto  the  chillren  of  Israel,  and 
say  unto  them,  When  a  man  shall 
make  a  singular  vow,  the  persons 
shall  be  for  the  Lord  by  tliy  esti- 
mation.   But  if  he  be  poorer  than 
thy  estimation,  then  he  shall  pre- 
sent himself  before  the  priest,  and 
the  priest  shall  value  him;  accord- 
ing to  liis  ability  that  vowed  shall 
the  priest  value  him.    And  if  it  be 
a  beast,  whereof  men  bring  an 
offering  unto  the   Lord,  all  that 
any  man  giveth  of  sucli  unto  the 
Lord  shall  be  lioly.    He  >jliall  not 
alter  it,  nor  change  it,  a  good  for 
a  bad,  or  a  bad  for  a  good:  and  it 
he  shall  at  all    clumge  beast  for 
beast,  then  it  and  the  exchange 
thereof  sliall  be  holy.    And  if  it  be 
any  unclean  beast,  of  which  they 
do  not  offer  a  sacrifice  unto  the 
Lord,  then  he  shall  present  the 
beast  before  the  priest:    And  the 
priest  shall  value  it,  whether  it  be 
good  or  bad:  as  thou  valuest  it, 
who  art  the  priest,  so  shall  it  be. 
But  if  he  will  at  all  redeem  it,  then 
he  shall  add  a  flfth  part  Ihereot 
unto  thy  estimation.    And  when 
a  man  shall  sanctify  his  house  to 
he  holy  unto  the  Loud  then  the 
priest  shall  estimate  it,  whether 
it  be  good  or  bad:  as  the  priost 
shall  estimate  it,  so  sliall  it  stand. 
And  if  he  that  sanctified  it  will 
redeem  his  house,  then  he  shall 
add  the  fifth  part  of  the  money  of 
thy  estimation  unto  it,  and  it  shall 
Ibo  his.    And  if  a  man  shall  sanc- 
tify unto  the  Lord  some  part  of  a 
field  of  .his  possession,  then  thy 
estimation  shall  be  according  to 
the  seed  thereof;    an  homer  of 
barley-seed   shall  be    valued  at 
1  fifty   shekels   of    silver.     If  he 
i  sanctify  his  field  from  the  year  of 
Jubilee,  according  to  thy  estima- 
ition  it  shall  stand.      But   if  be 
sanctify  his  field  after  the  jubilee, 
then  the  priest  shall  reckon  unto 
him  the  money  according  to  the 
years  that  remain,  even  unto  the 
year  of  the  jubilee,  aufl  it  shall  be 
abated  from  tby  estimation.    And

if  he  that  sanctified  the  field  will 
in  any  wise  redeem  it,  then  he 
shall  add  the  fifth  part  of  the 
money  of  thy  estimation  unto  it, 
and  it  shall  be  assured  to  him. 
And  if  he  will  not  redeem  the 
field,  or  if  he  have  sold  the  field 
to  another  man,  it  shall  not  be  re- 
deemed any  more.  But  the  field, 
when  it  goeth  out  in  the  jubilee, 
shall  be  holy  unto  the  Lord,  as 
a  field  devoted;  the  possession 
thereof  shall  be  the  priest's.  And 
if  a  man  sanctify  unto  the  Lord 
a  field  which  he  hath  bought, 
which  ia  not  of  the  fields  of  his 
possession;  Then  the  priest  shall 
reckon  unto  him  the  worth  of  thy 
est  mation,  eve«  unto  the  year  of 
the  jubilee:  and  he  shall  give 
thine  estimation  in  that  day,  as  a 
holy  thing  unto  the  Lord.  Not- 
withstanding, no  devoted  thing, 
that  a  man  shall  devote  unto  th.^ 
Lord,  of  all  that  he  hath,  both  of 
man  and  beast,  and  of  the  field  of 
his  possession,  shall  be  sold  or 
redeemed:  every  devoted  thing  is 
most  holy  unto  the  Lord.  None 
devoted,  which  shall  be  devoted 
of  men,  shall  be  redeemed;  but 
shall  surely  be  put  to  death.

called  unto  him  his  twelve  dis-

against   unclean   spirits,  to  cast 
them  out,  and  to  heal  all  manner 
of  sickness,  and  all  manner  of

love  toward  him.  For  to  this  end

know  the  proof  of  you,  wliether 
ye  be  obedient  In  all  tilings.  To 
whom  ye  forgive  any  thinjr.  I  for- 
give also:  for  if  I  fori^ave  any 
thing  to  whom  I  forgave  it,  for 
your  sakes  forgave  I  it  in  the  per-

with  fear  and  trembling  ye  re- 
ceived him.  I  rejoice  therefore 
that  I  have  confidence  in  you  in

2  Cor.  X,  8.  For  though  I  should 
boast  somewhat  more  of  our  au- 
thority, (which  the  Lord  hath 
given  us  for  edification,  and  not 
for  your  destruction,)  I  should 
not  be  ashamed.

fore, and  foretell  you,  as  if  I  were

ing absent,  now  I  write  to  them 
which  heretofore  have  sinned, 
und  to  all  other,  that,  if  I  come 
again,  I  will  not  spare:  Therefore 
1  write  these  things  being  absent, 
lest  being  present  I  should  use 
sharpness,  according  to  the 
power  which  the  Lord  hath  given 
me  to  edification  and  not  to  des- 
tructicm. 

2  Tlicss.  iil,  4.  And  we  have 
confidence  in  the  Lord  touching 
you,  that  ye  both  do  and  will  do 
tlie  things  which  we  command 
you. 

2  Tim.  11, 2.  And  the  things  that 
thou  hast  heard  of  me  among 
many  witnesses,  the  same  com- 
mit thou  to  faithful  men,  who 
shall  be  able  to  teach  others 
also.

Theib  Claims  upon  the 
People. 

Matth.  X,  11-13,  41.  And  Into 
whatsoever  city  or  town  ye  shall 
enter,  enquire  who  in  it  is  worthy; 
and  tliere  abide  till  ye  go  thence. 
And  when  ye  come  into  an  house, 
salute  it.  And  if  tlie  house  be 
worthy,  let  your  peace  come  upon 
It;  but  if  it  be  not  wortliy,  let 
your  peace  return  to  you.  He 
that  receiveth  a  prophet  in  the 
name  of  a  prophet,  shall  receive 
a  prophet's  reward;  and  he  that 
receiveth  a  righteous  man  in  the 
name  of  a  righteous  man,  shall 
receive  a  righteous  man's  re- 
ward. 

LuJce  X,  16.  He  that  heareth 
you,  heareth  me;  and  he  that 
desplseth  you,  despist'th  me;  and 
he  that  despiseth  me,  desplseth 
him  that  sent  me. 


John  xiii,  20.  Verily,  verily,  I 
say  unto  you,  He  that  receiveth 
wliomsoever  I  send  receiveth  ine; 
and  he  that  receivetti  me  receiv- 
eth Ijim  that  sent  me. 

Danger  of  Refusal. 

Matth.  X,  14, 15.  And  whosoever 
shall  not  receive  you,  nor  hear 
your  words,  when  ye  depart  out 
of  that  house  or  city,  shake  off  the 
dust  of  your  feet.  Verily  I  say 
unto  you.  It  shall  be  more  toler- 
able for  the  land  of  Sodom  and 
Gomorrha  in  the  day  of  judgment, 
tlian  for  that  city. 

Liike  X,  11.  Even  the  very  dust 
of  your  city,  which  cleaveth  on 
us,  we  do  wipe  off  against  you: 
notwithstanding,  be  ye  sure  of 
this,  that  the  kingdom  of  God  is 
come  nigh  unto  you. 

THE  SEVENTY. 
LicJce  X,  1,  9.  After  these  things 
the  I.ord  appointed  other  seventy 
also,  and  sent  them  two  and  two 
before  his  face  into  every  city  and 
place  whither  he  himself  would 
come.  And  heal  the  sick  that  are 
therein;  and  say  unto  them,  The 
kingdom  of  God  is  come  nigh  un- 
to you. 

BISHOPS. 

1  Tim:  lii,  1-7.  This  is  a  true 
saying,  If  a  man  desire  the  office 
of  a  bishop,  he  desireth  a  good 
work.  A  bishop  then  must  be 
blameless,  the  husband  of  one 
wife,  vigilant,  sober,  of  good  be- 
haviour, given  to  hospitality,  apt 
to  teach ;  Not  given  to  wine,  no 
striker,  not  greedy  of  filthy  lucre; 
but  patient,  not  a  brawler,  not 
covetous;  One  that  ruleth  well 
his  own  house,  having  his  chil- 
dren in  subjection  with  all  grav- 
ity; (For  if  a  man  know  not  how 
to  rule  his  own  house,  how  shall 
he  take  care  of  the  church  of 
God?)  Not  a  novice,  lest,  being 
lifted  up  with  pride,  he  fall  into 
the  condemnation  of  the  devil. 
Moreover,  he  must  have  a  good 
report  of  them  which  are  without; 
lest  he  fall  into  reproach,  and  the 
snare  of  the  devil, 

Titus  1, 7-9.  For  a  bishop  must 
be  blameless,  as  the  steward  of 
God;  not  self-willed,  not  soon  an- 
gry, not  given  to  wine,  no  striker, 
not  given  to  filthy  lucre;  But  a 
lover  of  hospitality,  a  lover  of 
good  men,  sober,  just,  holy,  tem- 
perate; Holding  fast  the  faithful 
word  as  he  hath  been  taught,  that 
he  may  be  able  by  sound  doctrine 
both  to  exliori  and  to  convince 
the  gainsayers. 

ELDERS. 

Acts  xlv,  23.    And  when  thoy 
had  ordained  them  elders  In  every 
church,  and    had   prayed  with 
472 


fasting,  they  commended  them 
to  the  Lord,  on  whom  they  be- 
lieved. 

Acts  XX,  17.  And  from  Miletus 
he  sent  to  Ephe8us,and  called  the 
elders  of  the  church. 

1  Tim.  V,  17-19.  Let  the  elders 
that  rule  well  be  counted  worthy 
of  double  honour,  especially  they 
who  labour  in  the  word  and  doc- 
trine. For  the  scripture  saith, 
Thou  Shalt  not  muzzle  the  ox 
tliat  treadeth  out  the  corn.  And, 
The  labourer  is  worthy  of  his 
reward.  Against  an  elder  re- 
ceive not  an  accusation,  but  be- 
fore two  or  three  witnesses. 

Titus  i,  5,  6.  For  this  cause  left 
I  thee  in  Crete,  that  thou  should- 
est  set  in  order  the  things  that 
are  wanting,  and  ordain  elders  in 
every  city,  as  I  had  appointed 
thee.  If  any  be  blameless,  the 
husband  of  one  wife,  having  faith- 
ful children,  not  accused  of  riot, 
or  unruly. 

1  Pet.  V,  1.  The  elders  which 
are  among  you  I  exhort,  who  am 
also  an  elder,  and  a  witne.'^s  of  the 
sufferings  of  Christ,  and  also  a 
partaker  of  the  glory  that  shall  be 
revealed. 

DEACONS. 
Acts  vi,  1-5.  And  in  those  days 
when  tlie  number  of  the  disciples 
was  multiplied,  there  arose  a 
murmuring  of  the  Grecians 
against  the  Hebrews,  because 
their  widows  were  neglected  in 
the  daily  ministration.  Then  the 
twelve  called  the  multitude  of  the 
disciples  unto  them,  and  said,  It 
is  not  reason  that  we  should  leave 
ihe  word  of  God,  and  serve  tables. 
Wherefore,  brethren,  look  ye  out 
among  you  seven  men  of  honest 
report,  full  of  the  Holy  Ghost  and 
wisdom,  whom  we  may  appoint 
over  this  business.  But  we  will 
give  ourselves  continually  to 
prayer,  and  to  the  ministry  of  the 
word.  And  the  saying  pleased 
the  whole  multitude:  and  they 
chose  Stephen,  a  man  full  of  faith 
and  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  and 
Philip,  and  Piocliorus,  and  Ni- 
canor,  and  Timon,  and  Parmenas, 
and  Nicolas  a  proselyte  of  Anti- 
och. 

1  Tim.  iil,  8-13.  Likewise  must 
the  deacons  be  grave,  not  double 
tongued,  not  given  to  much  wine, 
not  greedy  of  filthy  lucre;  Hold- 
ing the  mystery  of  the  faith  in  a 
pure  conscience.  And  let  these 
also  first  be  proved;  then  let  them 
use  the  office  of  a  deacon,  being 
found  blameless.  Even  so  must 
their  wives  be  grave,  not  slander- 
ers, sober,  faithful  in  all  things. 
Let  the  deacons  be  the  husbands 
of  one  wife,  ruling  their  children 
and  their  own  houses  well.  For 
they  that  have  used  the  office  of 


MINISTERS  OP  RELIGION. 


a  deacon  well  purchase  to  them- 
selves a  good  degree,  and  great 
boldness  in  the  faith  which  is  In 
Christ  Jesus. 

ITINERANT  LABOURERS. 

Acts  vlii,  25.  And  they,  when 
they  had  testified  and  preached 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  returned  to 
Jerusalem,  and  preached  the  gos- 
pel in  many  villages  of  the  Sa- 
maritans. 

Acts  xlv,  21,  24-26.  And  when 
they  had  preached  the  gospel  to 
that  city,  and  had  taught  many, 
they  returned  again  to  Lystra, 
and  to  Iconlum,  and  Antiocli. 
And  after  they  had  pissed 
throughout  Pisidia,  they  came  to 
Pamphylia.  And  when  they  had 
preached  the  word  In  Perga,  they 
went  down  into  Attalia;  And 
thence  sailed  to  Antioch,  from 
whence  they  had  been  recom- 
mt'nded  to  tlie  grace  of  God  for 
the  work  which  they  fulfilled. 

Acts  XV,  25-27,  33.  It  seemed 
good  unto  us,  being  assembled 
with  one  accord,  to  send  chosen 
men  unto  you  with  our  beloved 
Barnabas  and  Paul;  Men  that 
have  hazarded  their  lives  for  the 
name  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Clirist. 
We  have  sent  therefore  Judas 
and  Silas,  who  shall  also  tell  you 
the  same  things  by  mouth.  And 
after  they  had  tarried  there  a 
space,  they  were  let  go  in  peace 
from  the  brethren  unto  the  apos- 
tles. 

Acts  xviil,  27.  And  when  he  was 
disposed  to  pass  into  Achaia,  the 
bretliren  wrote,  exhorting  the 
disciples  to  receive  him:  who, 
when  he  was  come,  helped  them 
much  which  had  believed  through 
grace.  [A  i  olios.] 

Acts  xix,  22.  So  he  sent  into 
Macedonia  two  of  them  that  min- 
istered unto  him,  Timotheus  and 
Erastus;  but  he  himself  stayed  in 
Asia  for  a  season. 

1  Cor.  iv,  17.  For  this  cause 
have  I  sent  unto  you  Timotheus, 
wlio  is  my  beloved  son,  and  faitli- 
ful  in  the  Lord,  who  shall  bring 
you  into  remembrance  of  my 
ways  wliich  be  in  Christ,  as  I 
teach  every  where  in  every 
church. 

1  Qor.  xvl,  10-12.  Now,  if  Timo- 
theus come,  see  that  he  may  be 
with  you  without  fear:  for  he 
worketh  the  work  of  the  Lord,  as 
I  also  do.  Let  no  man  therefore 
despise  him;  but  conduct  liim 
forth  in  peace,  that  he  may  come 
unto  me:  for  I  look  for  him  with 
tlie  l)relhren.  As  touching  our 
brother  Apollos,  I  greatly  desired 
him  to  come  unto  you  with  tlie 
brttlireu:  but  his  will  was  not  at 
all  to  come  at  tlils  time ;  but  he 


will  come  when  he  shall   have 
convenient  time. 

2  Qor.  vlil,  22.  And  we  have 
sent  with  them  our  brother, 
whom  we  have  oftentimes  proved 
diligent  in  many  things,  but  now 
much  more  diligent,  upon  the 
great  confidence  which  /  have  in 
you. 

Eph.  vl,  21,  22.  But  that  ye  also 
may  know  my  aflTairs,  and  how  I 
do,  Tychicus,  a  beloved  brother 
and  faithful  minister  in  the  Lord, 
shall  make  known  to  you  all 
things :  Whom  I  have  sent  unto 
you  for  the  same  purpose,  that 
ye  might  know  our  affairs,  and 
that  he  might  comfort  your 
hearts. 

Phil.  11,  19,  23.  But  I  trust  In 
the  Lord  Jesus  to  send  Timo- 
theus shortly  unto  you,  that  I 
also  may  be  of  good  comfort  when 
I  know  your  state.  Him  there- 
fore I  hope  to  send  presently,  so 
soon  as  I  shall  see  how  it  will  go 
with  me. 

Col.  iv,  7--9.  All  my  state  shall 
Tychicus  declare  unto  you,  tcho 
is  a  beloved  brother,  and  a  faith- 
ful minister  and  fellow-servant  in 
the  Lord:  Whom  I  have  sent 
unto  you  for  the  same  purpose, 
that  he  might  know  your  estate, 
and  comfort  your  hearts;  With 
Onesimus,  a  faithful  and  beloved 
brother,  who  is  one  of  you :  they 
sliall  make  known  unto  you  all 
thiugs  which  are  done  here. 

1  Thess.  ill,  1,  2.  Wherefore, 
when  we  could  no  longer  forbear, 
we  thought  it  good  to  be  left  at 
Athens  alone.  And  sent  Timo- 
theus, our  brother,  and  minister 
of  God,  and  our  fellow-labourer  in 
the  gospel  of  Christ,  to  establish 
you,  and  to  comfort  you  concern- 
ing your  faith. 

2  Tim.  Iv,  9-12.  Do  thy  dili- 
gence to  come  shortly  unto  me : 
For  Demas  hath  forsaken  me, 
having  loved  this  present  world, 
and  is  departed  unto  Thessaloni- 
ca;  Crescens  to  Galatia,  Titus  un- 
to Dalmatia.  Only  Luke  is  with 
me.  Take  Mark,  and  bring  liim 
with  thee:  for  he  is  profitable 
to  me  for  the  ministry.  And 
Tychicus  have  I  sent  to  Ephe- 
sus. 

Titus  ill,  12,  13.  When  I  shall 
send  Artemas  unto  thee,  or 
Tychicus,  be  diligent  to  come 
unto  me  to  Nicopolis:  for  I  have 
determined  there  to  winter.  Bring 
Zenas  the  lawyer  and  Apollos  on 
ttieir  journey  diligently,  that  no- 
thing be  wanting  unto  them. 

THE  APOSTLE  PAUL. 

His  Conversion. 

Acts  ix,  1.  3-9,  11,  12,  17,  18,  23. 

29,30.    And   Saul,  yet  breathing 

out  threatenings   and   slauiihter 

473 


against  the  disciples  of  the  Lord, 
went  unto  the  high  priest.  And 
as  he  journeyed,  he  came  near 
Damascus;  and  suddenly  there 
sliined  round  about  him  a  light 
from  heaven:  And  he  fell  to  the 
earth,  and  heard  a  voice  saying 
nnto  him,  Saul,  Saul,  wliy  perse- 
cutest  thou  me?  And  he  said. 
Who  art  thou.  Lord?  And  the 
Lord  said,  I  am  Jesus  whom  thou 
persecutest.  It  is  liard  for  tliee 
to  kick  against  the  pricks.  And 
he,  trembling  and  astonished, 
said,  Lord,  what  wilt  thou  have 
me  to  do?  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  him.  Arise,  and  go  into  the 
city,  and  it  shall  be  told  thee 
what  thou  must  do.  And  the  men 
which  journeyed  with  him  stood 
speechless,  hearing  a  voice,  but 
seeing  no  man.  And  Saul  arose 
from  the  earth;  and  when  his  eyes 
were  opened,  he  saw  no  man:  but 
they  led  him  by  the  hand,  and 
brought  him  into  Damascus.  And 
he  was  tliree  days  witiiout  sight, 
and  neither  did  eat  nor  drink. 
And  the  Lord  said  nnto  him. 
Arise,  and  go  into  the  street 
which  is  called  Straight,  and  en- 
quire iij  the  house  of  Judas  for 
one  called  Saul  of  Tarsus:  for, 
behold,  he  prayeth,  And  hath 
seen  in  a  vision  a  man  named 
Ananias  coming  in,  and  putting 
his  hand  on  him,  that  he  might 
receive  his  sight.  And  Ananias 
went  his  way,  and  entered  into 
the  house;  and  putting  his  hands 
on  him,  said.  Brother  Saul,  the 
Lord,  even  Jesus,  that  appeared 
unto  thee  in  the  way,  as  thou 
camest,  hath  sent  me,  that  thou 
miglitest  receive  thy  sight,  and  be 
filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost.  And 
immediately  there  fell  from  his 
eyes  as  it  had  been  scales:  and  he 
received  sight  forthwith,  and 
arose,  and  was  baptized.  And 
after  that  many  days  were  ful- 
filled, the  Jews  took  counsel  to 
kill  him:  And  he  spake  boldly  in 
the  name  of  the  Lord  Jesus,  and 
disputed  against  the  Grecians: 
but  they  went  about  to  slay  him. 
Which  when  the  brethren  knew, 
they  brought  him  down  to 
Cesarea,  and  sent  him  forth  to 
Tarsus. 

HIS    TRAVELS    AND     LABOURS. 

Acts  xvi,  19,  And  when  her 
masters  saw  that  the  hope  of  their 
gains  was  gone,  tliey  caught  Paul 
and  Silas,  and  drew  them  into  the 
market-place  unto  the  rulers. 

Acts  xvii,  14, 15.  And  then  im- 
mfdiately  the  brethren  sent  away 
Paul,  to  go  as  it  were  to  the  sea: 
but  Silas  and  Timotheus  abode 
there  still.  And  they  that  con- 
ducted Paul  brought  him  unto 
Athens:  and  receiving  a  com- 
mandment unto  Silas  and  Timo- 
theus for  to  come  to  him  wltli  all 
speed,  they  departed. 


MINISTERS  OF  RELIGIOIT, 


Acts  xviil,  23.  And  after  he  had 
gpent  some  time  there,  he  depar- 
ted, and  went,  over  all  the  country 
Of  Galatia  an  1  Plirygia  In  order, 
Btrengtheulnj?  all  the  disciples. 

Ads  xix,  1,  21,  And  It  came  to 
pass,  that,  while  ApoUos  was  at 
Corinth,  Paul  having  passed 
through  the  upper  coasts  en  me  to 
Ephesus:  and  finding  certain  dis- 
ciples. After  these  things  were 
ended,  Paul  purposed  in  the  spirit, 
When  he  had  pnssed  through 
Macedonia  and  Achaia,  to  go  to 
Jerusalem,  saying.  After  I  have 
been  there,  1  must  also  see  Rome. 

Acts  XX,  2,  3,  25.  And  when  he 
had  gone  over  those  parts,  and 
had  given  them  much  exhorta- 
tion, he  came  into  Greece.  And 
there  abode  three  niontha:  and 
■when  the  Jews  laid  wait  for  him, 
as  he  was  about  to  sail  into  Syria, 
he  purposed  to  return  through 
Macedonia.  And  now,  beliold,  I 
know  that  ye  all,  among  whom  I 
have  gone  preacliing  the  King- 
dom of  God,  shall  see  my  face  no 
more. 

Horn,  i,  10.  Maldng  request  (if 
by  any  means  now  at  length  I 
might  have  a  prosperous  journey 
by  the  will  of  God)  to  come  unto 
you. 

Horn,  xy,  22-24,  28.  For  which 
cause  also  1  Jiave  been  much  hin- 
dered fDrn  coming  to  you.  But 
now  having  no  more  place  in 
these  parts,  and  having  a  great 
desire  these  many  years  to  come 
tmto  you:  Wlieusoever  I  talie 
my  journey  into  Spain,  I  will  come 
to  you;  for  I  trust  to  see  you  in 
my  journey,  and  to  be  brouglit  on 
my  way  tliitherward  by  you,  if 
first  I  be  somewhat  filled  with 
your  companij.  When  tlierefore 
I  have  performed  tlifs,  and  have 
sealed  to  them  this  fruit,  I  will 
come  by  you  into  Spain. 

1  Cor.  iv,  10,  18  20.  We  are 
fools  for  Clirioit's  sake,  but  ye  are 
wise  in  Christ;  we  arc  wealt,  but 
ye  are  strong;  ye  are  honourable, 
but  we  are  despised.  Now  some 
are  puffe  1  up,  as  though  I  would 
not  come  to  you.  But  I  will  come 
to  you  shortly,  if  the  Lord  will, 
and  will  know,  not  the  speech  of 
them  whicii  are  puffed  up,  but  the 
power.  For  the  kingdom  of  God 
is  not  in  word,  but  in  power. 

1  Oor.  ix,  2.  If  I  be  not  an 
apostle  unto  otlicrs,  yet  doubtless 
I  am  to  you:  fur  the  seal  of  mine 
apostleshlp  are  ye  in  the  Lord. 

1  Cor.  XV,  9-11.  For  I  am  the 
least  of  the  apostles,  that  am  not 
meet  to  be  called  an  apostle,  be- 
cause I  persecuted  the  cliurch  of 
God.  But  by  tlie  grace  of  God  I 
am  what  I  am:  and  his  grace  which 
was  bestowed  upon  me  was  not  in 
vain;  but  1  laboured  more  altun- 
dautly  than  they  alU  yet  uot  i, 


but  the  grace  of  God  which  was 
with  me.  Therefore,  whether  it 
tvere  I  or  they,  so  we  preach,  and 
60  ye  believed. 

1  Qor.  xvl,  5-8.  Now  I  will  come 
unto  you,  when  I  shall  pass 
through  Macedonia;  (for  I  do  pass 
through  Macedonia;)  And  it  may 
be  that  I  will  abide,  yea,  and 
winter  with  you,  that  ye  may 
bring  me  on  my  journey  whither- 
soever I  go.  For  I  will  not  see 
you  now  by  the  way;  but  I  trust 
to  tarry  a  while  with  you,  if  tlie 
Lord  permit.  But  I  will  tarry  at 
Ephesus  until  Pentecost. 

2  Oor.  1, 15, 16.  And  in  this  con- 
fidence I  was  minded  to  come 
unto  you  before,  that  ye  might 
have  a  second  benefit;  And  to 
pass  by  yon  into  Macedonia,  and 
to  come  again  out  of  Macedonia 
unto  you,  and  of  you  to  be  brought 
on  my  way  toward  Judea. 

2  Cor.  ii,  12,  13.  Furthermore, 
when  I  came  to  Troas  to  preach 
Christ's  gospel,  and  a  door  was 
opened  unto  me  of  the  Lord.  I 
had  no  rest  in  my  spirit,  because 
I  found  not  Titus  my  brotlier:  but, 
taking  my  leave  of  them,  I  went 
from  thence  into  Macedonia. 

2  Cor.  X,  7.  Do  ye  look  on  things 
after  the  outward  appearance?  If 
any  man  trust  to  himself  that  he 
is  Christ's,  let  him  of  himself  think 
this  again,  that,  as  he  is  Christ's, 
even  so  are  we  Christ's. 

2  Cor.  xi,  5.  For  I  suppose  I  was 
not  a  whit  behind  the  very  chief- 
est  apostles. 

2  Cor.  xii,  11, 12. 1  am  become  a 
fool  in  glorying;  ye  have  com- 
pelled me:  for  I  ought  to  have 
been  commended  of  you;  for  in 
nothing  am  I  behind  the  very 
chiefest  apostles,  though  I  be  no- 
thing. Truly  the  signs  of  an 
apostle  were  wrought  among  you 
in  all  patience,  in  signs,  and  won- 
ders, and  mighty  deeds. 

Gal.  1, 17, 18,  21.  Neither  went  I 
up  to  Jerusalem  to  them  which 
were  apostles  before  me;  but  I 
went  into  Arabia,  and  returned 
again  mto  Damascus.  Then,  after 
three  years,  I  weal  up  to  Jerusa- 
lem to  see  Peter,  &nd  abode  with 
him  fifteen  days.  Afterwards  I 
came  inio  the  regions  of  Syria 
and  Cilicla. 

Oal.  ii,  1.  Then,  fourteen  years 
after,  I  went  up  again  to  Jerusa- 
lem with  Barnabas,  and  took  Titus 
with  me  also. 

Phil.  II,  24.  But  I  trust  In  the 
Lord  that  I  also  myseU  shall  uome 
shortly. 

His  Exemplabt  Conpuct. 

Acts  XX,  18, 19.  And  when  they 

were  come  to  him,  he  said  imto 

tliem.  Ye  know,  from  the  first  day 

that  I  came  into  A^jia,  after  what 

43i 


manner  I  have  been  with  yon  at 
all  seasons,  Serving  the  Lord  with 
all  humility  of  mind,  and  with 
many  tears,  and  temptations, 
which  befell  me  by  the  lying  in 
wait  of  the  Jews. 
■*  1  Oor.  iv,  16.  Wherefore,  I  be- 
seech you,  be  ye  followers  of  me. 
!  2  Oor.  iv,  1,  2.  Therefore  seeing 
we  have  this  ministry,  as  we  have 
received  mercy,  we  faint  not; 
But  have  renounced  the  hidden 
things  of  dishonesty,  not  walking 
in  craftiness,  nor  handling  tlie 
word  of  God  deceitfully;  but,  by 
manifestation  of  the  truth,  com- 
mending ourselves  to  every  mail's 
conscience  in  the  sight  of  God. 

2  Cor.  vi,  3-10.  Giving  no 
offence  in  any  tldng,  that  the 
ministry  bo  not  blamed:  But 
in  all  things  approving  our- 
selves as  the  ministers  of  God,  in 
much  patience,  in  afllictions,  in 
necessities,  in  distresses.  In 
stripes,  in  imprisonments,  in  tu- 
mults, in  labours,  in  watch ings, 
in  fastings;  By  pureness,  by 
knowledge,  by  long  suffering,  by 
kindness,  by  the  Holy  Ghost,  by 
love  unfeigned.  By  the  word  of 
truth,  by  the  power  of  God,  by  the 
armour  of  rigliteousness  on  the 
right  hand  and  on  the  left,  By 
honour  and  dishonour,  by  evil  re- 
port and  good  report:  as  deceivers 
and  yet  true;  As  unknown,  and 
yet  well  known;  as  dying,  and,  be- 
hold, we  live;  as  chastened,  and 
not  killed;  As  sorrowful,  yet  al- 
way  rejoicing;  as  poor,  yet  mak- 
ing many  rich;  as  having  nothing, 
and  yet  possessing  all  things. 

2  Cor.  xi,  6.  But  though  I  be 
rude  in  speech,  yet  not  in  knoAV- 
ledge:  but  we  have  been  thor- 
oughly made  manifest  among  you 
in  all  things. 

Gal.  iv,  12.  Brethren,  I  beseech 
you,  be  as  I  am;  lor  I  am  as  ye 
are:  ye  have  not  injured  me  at  uU. 

Phil,  iv,  9.  Those  things,  Avliich 
ye  have  both  learned,  and  re- 
ceived and  heard,  and  seen  in 
me,  do:  and  the  God  of  peace  shall 
be  with  you. 

1  Thess.  Ii,  10.  Ye  are  witnesses, 
and  God  also,  how  holily  and 
justly  and  unblameably  we  be- 
haved ourselves  among  you  that 
believe. 

2  Thess.  ill,  7.  For  yourselves 
know  how  ye  ought  to  follow  us: 
for  we  behaved  not  ourselves  dis- 
orderly among  you. 

His  PREAcniNO. 
Acts  ix,  20-22.  And  straightway 
he  preached  Christ  in  the  syna- 
gogues, that  he  is  the  Son  of  God. 
But  all  that  heard  him  were 
amazed,  and  said.  Is  not  this  he 
thai,  destroyed  them  wliich  called 
on  this  name  in  Jerusalem,  and 


MINISTERS  OP  EELIGIONi 


came  hither  for  that  Intent,  that 
ho  might  bring  Uiein  bound  unto 
the  cliief  priests  ?  But  Saul  in- 
creased the  more  in  strength,  and 
confounded  the  Jews  which 
dwelt  at  Damascus,  proving  that 
this  is  very  Christ. 

Acts  xy,3i,  35.  Notwithstand- 
ing, it  pleased  Silas  to  abide  there 
still.  Paul  also  and  Barnabas 
continued  in  Antioch,  teaching 
and  preaching  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  with  many  others  also. 

Acts  xviii,  11.  And  he  continued 
thei-e  a  year  and  six  months, 
teaching  the  word  of  God  among 
them. 

Acts  XX,  26,  27,  31.  Wherefore 
I  take  you  to  record  this  day,  that 
I  am  pure  from  the  blood  of  all 
men.  For  I  have  not  shunned  to 
declare  unto  you  all  the  counsel 
of  God.  Therefore  watch,  and 
remember,  that,  by  the  space  of 
three  years,  I  ceased  not  to  warn 
every  one  uight  and  day  with 
tears. 

Acts  xxviii,  31.  Preaching  the 
kingdom  of  God,  and  teaching 
those  things  which  concern  the 
Lord  Jesus  Christ,  with  all  confid- 
ence, no  man  forbidding  him. 

FiOm.  XV,  29.  And  I  am  sure 
that  when  I  come  unto  you,  I 
shall  come  in  the  fulness  of  the 
blessing  of  the  gospel  of  Christ. 

1  Cor.  ii,  3,  4.  And  I  was  with 
you  in  weakness,  and  in  fear,  and 
In  much  trembling.  And  my 
speech  and  my  preaching  was  not 
with  enticing  words  of  man's 
wisdom,  but  in  demonstration  of 
the  Spirit  and  of  power. 

1  Cor.  iv,  14,  15.  I  write  not 
these  things  to  shame  you,  but,  as 
my  beloved  sons,  I  warn  you. 
For  though  ye  have  ten  thousand 
instructers  in  Christ,  yet  have  ye 
not  many  fathers:  for  in  Christ 
Jesus  I  have  begotten  you 
Ij^rough  the  gospel. 

1  Cor.  ix,  16, 17.  For  though  I 
preach  the  gospel,  I  have  nothing 
to  glory  of:  for  necessity  is  laid 
upon  me;  yea,  woe  is  unto  me,  if  I 
preach  not  the  gospel !  For  if  I  do 
this  thing  willingly,  I  have  a  re- 
ward; but  if  against  my  will,  a 
dispensation  of  the  gospel  is  com- 
mitted unto  me. 

2  Car.  ii,  15-17.  For  we  are  unto 
God  a  sweet  savour  of  Christ,  in 
them  that  are  saved,  and  in  them 
that  perish.  To  the  one  we  are 
the  savour  of  death  unto  Death; 
and  to  the  other  the  savour  of 
Hie  unto  life:  and  who  is  sufficient 
lor  these  things?  For  we  are  not 
as  many,  which  corrupt  the  word 
of  God;  but  as  of  sincerity,  bui,  as 
of  God,  in  the  sight  of  God  speak 
we  in  Christ. 

2  Cor.  lii,  1,  2.  Do  we  begin 
again  to  commend  ourselves ;  or 


need  we,  as  some  others,  epistles 
of  commendation  to  you,  or 
letters  of  commendation  from  you? 
Ye  are  our  epistle  written  in  our 
hearts,  known  and  read  of  all 
men. 

2  Cor.  Iv,  5.  For  we  preach  not 
ourselves,  but  Christ  Jesus  the 
Lord;  and  ourselves  your  ser- 
vants for  Jesus'  sake. 

2  Cor.  V,  20.  Now  then  we  are 
ambassadors  for  Christ,  as  though 
God  did  beseech  you  by  us:  we 
pray  you  in  Christ's  stead,  be  ye 
reconciled  to  God. 

2  Cor.  xiii,  8.  For  we  can  do 
nothing  against  the  truth,  but  for 
the  truth. 

Gal.  il,  2.  And  I  went  up  by 
revelation,  and  communicated 
unto  them  that  gospel  which  I 
preach  among  the  Gentiles,  but 
privately  to  them  which  were  of 
reputation,  lest  by  any  means  I 
should  run,  or  had  run,  in  vain. 

Gal.  iv,  11,  13.  I  am  afraid  of 
you,  lest  I  have  bestowed  upon 
you  labour  in  vain.  Ye  know 
how,  through  infirmity  of  the 
flesh,  I  preached  the  gospel  unto 
you  at  the  first. 

Phil,  il,  16,  22.  Holding  forth 
the  word  of  life;  that  I  may  re- 
joice in  the  day  of  Christ,  that  I 
have  not  run  in  vain,  neither 
laboured  in  vain.  But  ye  know 
the  proof  of  him,  that,  as  a  son 
with  the  father,  he  hath  served 
with  me  in  the  gospel. 

1  Thess.  ii,  1-3.  For  yourselves, 
brethren,  know  our  entrance  in 
unto  you,  that  it  was  not  in  vain: 
But  even  after  that  we  had  suffer- 
ed before,  and  were  shamefully 
entreated,  as  ye  know  at  Philippi, 
we  were  bold  in  our  God  to  speak 
unto  you  the  gospel  of  God  with 
much  contention,  For  our  exhor- 
tation was  not  of  deceit,  nor  of 
uncleanness,  nor  in  guile. 

His  Love  for  the  Churches, 
Rom.  i,  11, 12.  For  I  long  to  see 
you,  that  I  may  impart  unto  you 
some  spiritual  gift,  to  the  end  ye 
may  be  established;  That  is,  that 
I  may  be  comforted  together  with 
you,  by  the  mutual  faith  both  of 
you  and  me. 

2  Cor.  ii,  3-5.  And  I  wrote  this 
same  unto  you,  lest,  when  I  came, 
I  should  have  sorrow  from  them 
of  whom  I  ought  to  rejoice;  having 
confidence  in  you  all,  that  my  joy 
is  the  joy  of  you  all.  For  out  of 
much  affliction  and  anguish  of 
heart  I  wrote  unto  you  with 
many  tears;  not  that  ye  should  be 
grieved,  but  that  ye  might  know 
the  love  which  I  have  more  abun- 
dantly unto  you.  But  if  any  have 
caused  grief,  he  hath  not  grieved 
me,  but  In  part;  that  I  may  not 
overcharge  you  all. 

475 


2  Cor.  vi,  11-13.  O  ye  Corln. 
thiaiis,  our  mouth  is  open  unto 
you,  our  tieait  is  enlarged.  Ye 
are  not  straitened  in  us,  but  ye 
are  straitened  in  your  own  bowels. 
Now,  for  a  reconi pence  in  the 
same,  (I  speak  as  unto  my  chil- 
dren.) be  ye  also  enlarged. 

2  Cor.  vii,  3,  4, 12  - 14.  I  speak 
not  this  to  condemn  youMfor  I 
have  said  before,  that  ye  are  in 
our  Jiearts  to  die  and  live  with 
you.  Great  is  my  boldness  of 
speech  toward  you,  grt  at  is  my 
glorying  of  you:  I  am  filled  with 
comtort,  I  am  exceeding  joyful  in 
all  our  tribulation.  Wherefore, 
though  I  wrote  unto  you,  I  did  it 
not  for  his  cause  that  had  done  the 
wrong,  nor  for  his  cause  that 
suffered  wrong,  but  that  our  care 
for  you  in  the  sight  of  God  might 
appear  unto  you.  Therefore  we 
Were  comforted  in  your  comfort; 
yea,  and  exceedingly  the  more 
joyed  we  for  the  joy  of  Titus,  be- 
cause his  spirit  was  refreshed  by 
you  all.  For  If  I  have  boasted 
any  thing  to  him  of  you,  I  am  not 
ashamed;  but  as  we  spake  all 
things  to  you  in  truth,  even  so 
our  boastuig,  which /made  before 
Titus,  is  found  a  truth. 

2  Cor.  viii,  16, 17.  But  thanks  be- 
to  God,  which  put  the  same 
earnest  care  Into  the  lieart  of 
Titus  for  you.  For  indeed  he 
accepted  the  exhortation;  but, 
being  more  forward,  of  his  own 
accord  he  went  unto  you. 

2  Cor.  xi,  28.  Besides  those 
things  that  are  without,  that 
which  Cometh  upon  me  daily,  the 
care  of  all  the  churches. 

2  Cor.  xii,  15.  And  I  will  very 
gladly  spend  and  be  spent  for  you; 
though  the  more  abundantly  I 
love  you,  the  less  I  be  loved. 

1  Thess.  ii.  8,  17-20.  So,  being 
affectionately  desirous  of  you,  we 
were  willing  to  have  imparted 
unto  you,  not  the  gospel  of  God 
only,  but  also  our  own  souls,  be- 
cause ye  were  dear  unto  us. 
But  we,  brethren,  being  taken 
from  you  for  a  short  time  in  pre- 
sence, not  in  heart,  endeavoured, 
the  more  abundantly  to  see  your 
face  with  great  desire.  Where- 
fore we  would  have  come  unto 
you  (even  I  Paul)  once  and  again; 
but  Satan  liindered  us.  For  what 
is  our  hope,  or  joy,  or  crown  of 
rejoicing?  are  not  even  ye  in  the 
presence  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ 
at  his  coming?  For  ye  are  oar 
glory  and  joy. 

His  Meekness. 
2  Cor.  X,  1,  2.  Now  T  Paal 
myself  beseech  you  by  the  meek- 
ness and  gentleness  of  Christ, 
who  In  presence  am  base  among 
you,  but  being  absent  am  bold 
toward  you:  But  I  beseech  yo'U, 
that  I  may  not  be  bold  when  1  am 


present  with  that  confidence, 
wherewith  I  think  to  he  bold 
against  some,  which  think  of  us  as 
if  we  walked  according  to  the 
flesh. 

Philemon  8,9,  14.    Wherefore, 
though  I  misht  be  much  bold  in 
I  Christ  to  enjoin  thee  that  which 

I  is  convenient.  Yet  for  love's  sake 

j  I  rather  beseech  thee,  being  such 

an0ne  as  Paul  the  aged,  and  now 
i  also  a  prisoner  of  Jesus  Christ. 

j  But  withuiit  thy  mind  would  I  do 

;  nothing;  that  thy  benefit  should 

not  be  as  it  were  of  necessity,  but 
I         wiiiiiigly. 

!  IV. 

THE  MINISTRY  IN  GENERAL, 
A  DIVINE  INSTITUTION. 

,Exod.  iv,  13.  And  he  said,  O  my 
Lord,  send,  I  pray  thee,  by  the 
hand  of  him  whom  thou  wilt 
send. 

Ps.  IxviH,  11.  The  Lord  gave 
the  word;  great  was  the  company 
of  those  tliat  published  it. 

Isa.  lii,7, 8.  How  beautiful  upon 
the  mountains  are  the  feet  of  Mm 
that  bringeth  good  tidings,  that 
publislielh  peace;  that  bringeth 
good  tidings  of  good,  that  pub- 
lisheth  salvation;  that  saith  unto 
Zion,  Thy  God  reigneth!  Thy 
watchmen  shall  lift  wp  the  voice; 
with  the  voice  together  shall  they 
sing:  for  tliey  sliall  see  eye  to  eye, 
wlien  the  Lord  shall  bring  again 
Zion. 

Nahum  i,  15.  Behold  upon  the 
mountains  the  feet  of  him  that 
bringeth  good  tidings,  that  pub- 
lishetli  peace !  O  Judah,  keep  thy 
solemn  feasts,  perform  thy  vows: 
for  the  wicked  sliall  no  more  pass 
through  thee;  he  is  utterly  cut 
off. 

John  XX,  21.  Then  said  Jesus 
unto  tliem  again,  Pface  be  unto 
you,  as  my  Fattier  hath  sent  me 
even  so  send  I  you. 

Rom.  X,  14, 15.  How  then  shall 
they  call  on  him  in  whom  they 
have  not  believiMl?  and  how  shall 
they  believe  in  him  of  whom  they 
have  not  henrd?  and  how  shall 
they  hear  without  a  preacher? 
And  how  shall  they  preach,  ex- 
ci  pt  they  be  sent?  as  it  is  written, 
How  beautiful  are  the  feet  of 
them  that  preach  the  gospel  of 
peace,  and  bring  glad  tidings  of 
good  thiugsl 

Eph.  Iv,  11-13.  And  he  gave 
6t)me,  apostles;  and  someprophets; 
and  some,  evangelists;  and  some, 
pastors  iind  teachers.  For  the 
perlecting  of  the  saints,  for  the 
workoi  the  ministry,  for  the  edi- 
fying of  the  body  of  Christ.  Till 
we  all  come  in  the  unity  of  the 
faith,  and  of  the  knowledge  of  the 
Bon  of  God,  unto  a  perfect  man, 
unto  the  measure  of  the  stature 
of  the  fullness  of  Christ. 


MINISTERS  OP  RELIGIOIT. 

Phil,  i,  24-26.  Nevertheless  to 
abide  in  the  flesh  is  more  needful 
for  you.  And  having  this  confid- 
ence, I  know  that  I  shall  abide 
and  continue  with  you  all,  for 
your  furtherance  and  joy  of  faith; 
That  your  rejoicing  may  be  more 
abundant  in  Jesus  Christ  for  me 
by  my  coming  to  you  again. 

Jer.  xxxl,  34.  And  they  ^all 
teach  no  more  every  man  his 
neighbour,  and  every  man  his 
brother,  saying,  Know  the  Lord: 
for  they  shall  all  know  me,  from 
the  least  of  them  unto  the  great- 
est ot  them,  saith  the  Lord:  for  I 
will  forgive  their  iniquity,  and  I 
will  remember  their  sin  no  more. 

Eeb.  viii,  11, 12.  And  they  shall 
not  teach  every  man  his  neigh- 
bour, and  every  man  his  brother, 
saying,  Know  the  Lord:  for  all 
shall  know  me,  from  the  least  to 
the  greatest.  For  I  will  bo  merci- 
ful to  their  unrighteousness,  and 
their  sins  and  their  iniquities  will 
I  remember  no  more. 

ITS  DUTIES. 

Under  the  Old  Testabient. 
faithfulness. 

2  Ohron.  xxix,  11.  My  sons,  he 
not  now  negligent;  for  the  l^ouo 
hath  chosen  you  to  stand  before 
him,  to  serve  him,  and  that  ye 
should  minister  unto  him,  and 
burn  incense. 

Ezck.  iii,  17-21.  Son  of  man,  I 
have  made  thee  a  watchman  unto 
the  house  of  Israel:  therefore  hear 
the  word  at  my  mouth,  and  give 
them  warning  from  me.  When  I 
say  unto  the  wicked,  Thou  shalt 
surely  die;  and  thou  givest  him 
not  warning,  nor  speakest  to  warn 
the  wicked  from  his  wicked  way, 
to  save  his  life;  the  same  wicked 
man  shall  die  in  his  iniquity;  but 
his  blood  will  I  require  at  thine 
hand.  Yet  if  thou  warn  the  wick- 
ed, and  he  turn  not  from  his  wick- 
edness, nor  from  his  wicked  way, 
he  shall  die  in  his  iniquity;  but 
thou  hast  delivered  thy  soul. 
Again,  When  a  righteous  man 
doth  turn  from  his  righteousness, 
and  commit  iniquity,  and  I  lay  a 
stumblingblock  before  him,  he 
shall  die:  because  thou  hast  rot 
given  him  warning,  he  shall  die 
in  his  sin,  and  his  righteousness 
which  he  hath  done  sliall  not  be 
remembered;  but  his  blood  will  I 
require  at  thine  hand.  Neverthe- 
less, If  thou  warn  the  righteous 
man,  that  the  righteous  sin  not, 
and  he  doth  not  sin,  he  shall  surely 
live,  because  he  is  warned;  also 
thou  hast  delivered  thy  soul. 

Ezek.  xxxiil,  7-9.  So  thou,  O 
son  of  man,  I  have  set  thee  a 
watchman  unto  the  house  of 
Israel;  therefore  thou  shalt  hear 
the  word  at  my  mouMi,  and  warn 
them  from  me.  When  I  say  unto 
476 


the  wicked,  O  wicked  man,  thou 
Shalt  surely  die;  if  thou  dost  not 
speak  to  warn  the  wicked  from 
his  way,  that  wicked  man  shall 
die  in  his  iniquity;  but  his  blood 
will  I  require  at  thine  hand. 
Nevertlieless,  if  thou  warn  the 
wicked  of  his  way  to  turn  from  it; 
if  he  do  not  turn  from  his  way,  he 
shall  die  in  his  iniquity;  but  thou 
hast  delivered  thy  soul. 

3Ial.  ii,  7.  For  the  priest's  lips 
should  keep  knowledge,  and  they 
should  seek  the  law  at  his  mouth: 
for  he  is  the  messenger  of  the 
Lord  of  hosts. 

And  under  the  New  Testament. 

John  xxi,  15.  So  when  they  had 
dined,  Jesus  saith  to  Simon  Peter, 
Simon,  son  of  Jonas,  lovest  thou 
me  more  than  these?  He  saith 
unto  him,  Yea,  Lord;  thou  know- 
est  that  I  love  thee.  He  saith 
unto  him.  Feed  my  lambs. 

Col  iv,  17.  And  say  to  Archip- 
pus.  Take  heed  to  the  ministry 
which  thou  hast  received  in  the 
Lord,  that  thou  fultil  it. 

2  Tim.  il,  24.  And  the  servant 
of  the  Lord  must  not  strive;  but 
be  gentle  unto  all  men,  apt  to 
teach,  patient. 

2  Tim.  iv,  5.  But  watch  thou  m 
all  things,  endure  afflictions,  do 
the  work  of  an  evangelist,  make 
full  proof  of  thy  ministry. 

Titus  ii,  1,  8.  But  speak  thou 
the  things  which  become  sound 
doctrine..  Sound  speech,  that  can- 
not be  condemned;  that  he  that  is 
of  the  contrary  part  may  be 
ashamed,  liaving  no  evil  thing  to 
say  of  you. 

1  Peter  iv,  10,  II.  As  every  man 
hath  received  tlie  gift,  even  so 
minister  the  same  one  to  another, 
as  good  stewards  of  the  manifold 
grace  of  God.  If  any  man  speak, 
let  him  speak  as  the  oracles  of 
God;  if  any  man  minister,  let  him 
do  it  as  of  the  ability  which  God 
giveth:  that  God  in  all  things  may 
be  glorified  through  Jesus  Christ; 
to  whom  be  praise  and  domiuioa 
for  ever  and  ever.    Amen. 

Studiousness. 

Acts  xlll,  1, 2.  Now  there  were  in 
the  church  that  was  at  Antioch 
certain  prophets  and  teachers;  as 
Barnabas,  and  Simeon  that  was 
called  Niger,  and  Lucius  of  Cyrene, 
and  Manaen,  which  had  been 
brought  up  with  Herod  the  te- 
trarch,  and  Saul.  As  they  minis- 
tered to  the  Lord,  and  fasted,  the 
Holy  Ghost  said.  Separate  me 
Barnabas  and  Saul  for  the  work 
whereunto  I  have  called  them.

the  brethren  In  remembrance  of 
these  things,  thou  shalt  be  a  good 
minister  of  Jesus  Christ,  nourish-

good  doctrine,  wheretinto  thon

attendance  to  reading,  to  exhorta-

gilt  that  is  m  thee,  which  was 
givi  n  thee  by  prophecy,  with  the 
laying  on  of  the  hands  of  the 
presbytery.  Meditate  upon  these 
things;  give  thyself  wholly  to 
them;  that  thy  profiting  may  ap- 
pear to  all.  Take  heed  unto  thy- 
self, and  unto  thedoctrine;  continue 
in  them:  fcr  in  doing  this  tliou 
Bhult  both  save  thyselt;  and  them 
that  bear  thee. 

2  Tim.  il,  15.  Study  to  show  thy

word  of  truth. 

Consistency.

righteous  is  a  tree  of  life;  and  he 
that  winneth  souls  is  wise. 

Isa.  Iviii,  1.  Cry  aloud,  spare 
not;  lift  up  thy  voice  like  a  trum- 
pet, and  shew  my  people  their 
transgression,  and  the  house  of 
Jacob  their  sins.

sht'plierds  over  them  which  shall

shall  they  be  lacking,  saith  the 
Lord.

their  abominations,

stars  tor  ever  and  ever.

strengthen  thy  brethren. 

Acts  V,  20,  21.  Go,  stand  and 
speak  in  the  temple  to  the  people 
all  the  words  of  this  life.  And 
when  they  heard  that,  they  enter- 
ed into  the  temple  early  in  the 
morning,  and  taught.  But  the 
high  priest  came,  and  they  that 
were  with  him,  and  called  the 
council  together,  and  all  the  senate 
of  the  children  of  Israel,  and  sent 
to  the  prison  to  have  them 
brought. 

Acts  xxiv,  24,  25.  And  after  cer- 
tain days,  when  Felix  came  with 
his  wife  Drnsilla,  which  was  a 
Jewess,  he  sent  for  Paul,  and 
heard  him  concerning  the  faith 
in  Christ.  And  as  he  reasoned  of 
righteousness,  temperance,  and 
judgment  to  come,  Felix  trembled, 
and  answered.  Go  thy  way  for 
this  time;  when  I  have  a  conveni- 
ent season  I  will  call  for  thee. 


2  Cor.  v,  20.  Now  then  we  are 
ambassadors  for  Christ,  as  though 
God  did  beseech  you  by  us:  we 
pray  you  In  Clirist's  stead,  be  ye 
reconciled  to  God. 

2  Tim.  iv,  2.  Preach  the  word! 
be  instant  in  season,  out  of  season; 
reprove,  rebuke,  exhort  with  all 
long-suliering  and  doctrine. 

James  v,  19,  20.  Brethren,  if 
any  of  you  do  err  from  the  truth, 
and  one  convert  him;  Let  him 
know,  that  he  which  converteth 
the  sinner  from  the  error  of  his 
way  shall  save  a  soul  from  death, 
and  shall  hide  a  multitude  of  sins. 

1  Peter  y, '2.  Feed  the  flock  of 
God  which  is  among  you,  taking 
the  oversight  thereof,  not  by  con- 
straint, but  willingly;  not  for  filthy 
lucre,  but  of  a  ready  mind. 

Jude  22,  23.  And  of  some  have 
compassion,  making  a  difference: 
And  others  save  with  fear,  puhing 
them  out  of  the  flre;  hating  even 
the  garment  spotted  by  the  flesh. 


6INS  ASCRIBED 
TO  PASTORS  IN  THE  OLD 

TESTAMENT. 
Isa.  Ivl,  10, 11.  His  watchmen 
are  blind :  they  are  all  ignorant, 
they  are  all  dumb  dogs,  they  can- 
not bark;  sleeping,  lying  down, 
loving  to  slnmber.  Yea,  they  are 
greedy  dogs  which  can  never  have

that  cannot  understand  :  they  all 
look  to  their  own  way,  every 
one  for  his  gain,  from  his  quar- 
ter. 

Jer.  V,  30,  31.  A  wonderful  and 
horrible  tiling  i^connuilted  in  the 
land ;  The  propliets  prophesy 
falsely,  and  tho  priests  bear  rule 
by  their  means;  and  my  people 
love  to  have  it  so  :  and  what  will 
ye  do  in  the  end  thereof. 

Jer.  vi,  13-15.  For  from  the 
least  of  them  even  unto  the  great- 
est of  them,  every  one  is  given  to 
covetou.-ness ;  and  Irom  the  pro- 
phet even  unto  the  priest,  every 
one  dealeth  falsely.  They  have 
healed  also  the  hurt  of  the  daugh- 
ter of  my  people  slightly,  saying, 
Peace,  peace;  when  there  is  no 
peace.  Were  they  ashamed  when 
they  had  committed  abomination? 
nay,  they  were  not  at  all  ashamed, 
neither  could  they  blush;  there- 
fore they  shall  fall  among  them 
that  fall:  at  the  time  tMf  I  visit 
them  they  shall  be  cast  down,  saith 
the  Lord, 

Jer.  viii,  10, 11.  Therefore  will  I 
give  their  wives  unto  others  and 
their  fieUls  to  them  that  shall  in- 
herit them:  for  every  one,  from 
the  least  even  unto  the  greatest, 
is  given  to  covetousness.  troin  the 
prophet  even  unto  the  priest, 
every  one  dealeih  falsely.  For 
they  have  healed  the  hurt  of  tho 
daughter  of  my  people  slightly, 
saying.  Peace,  peace;  when  there 
is  no  peace. 

Lam.  iv,  11, 13.  The  Lord  hath 
accomplished  his  fury;  he  hath 

poured  out  his  fierce  anger 

For  the  sins  of  her  prophets,  and 
the  iniquities  of  her  priests,  that 
have  shed  the  blood  of  the  just  in 
the  midst  of  her. 

Hosea  iv,  4-6.  Yet  let  no  man 
strive,  nor  reprove  another:  for 
thy  people  are  as  they  that  strive 
with  the  priest.  Therefore  shaft 
thou  fall  in  the  day,  and  the  pro- 
phet also  shall  fall  with  thee  in 
the  niglit,  and  I  will  destroy  thy 
mother.  My  people  are  destroyed 
for  lack  ot  knowledge:  because 
thou  hast  rejected  knowledge,  I 
will  also  reject  thee,  that  thou 
Shalt  be  no  priest  to  me :  seeing 
thou  hast  forgotten  the  law  of 
thy  God,  I  will  also  forget  thy 
children. 

Hosea  vl,  9.  And  as  troops  of 
robbers  wait  for  a  mm,  so  the 
company  of  priests  murder  in  the 
way  by  consent:  for  they  commit 
lewdness. 

Hosea  ix,  7.  The  days  of  visita- 
tion are  come,  the  days  of  recom- 
pence  are  come;  Israel  shall  know 
it:  the  prophet  is  a  tool,  the  spirit- 
ual man  is  mad,  for  the  multitude 
of  thine  iniquity,  and  the  great 
hatred. 
Zech.  x\,  4  5, 17.  Thus  saith  the 


MINISTERS  OF  RELIGION. 


Lord  my  GocI;  Pcofl  the  flock  of 
the  slanjj^liter;  Whose  possessors 
slay  them,  and  hold  Uiemsclves 
not  g'uilty:  and  they  thatsell  tliera 
gay,  Blessed  be  the  Lord  for  I  ara 
rich:  and  tlieir  own  sheplierds 
pity  thoin  not.  Woe  to  the  Idol 
shepherd  that  leaveth  the  flock ! 
the  sword  shall  be  upon  his  arm, 
and  upon  his  right  eye:  his  arm 
shall  be  clean  dried  up,  and  his 
right  eye  shall  be  utterly  dark- 
ened. 

Mai.  i,  10.  Who  is  there  even 
among  you  that  would  shut  the 
doors  for  nouoht  f  neither  do  ye 
kindle  fire  on  mine  altar  for 
nouglit.  I  have  no  pleasure  in 
you,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  nei- 
ther will  I  accept  an  ofTering  at 
your  hand. 

(See  under  Tendiko  the  Flocks, 
Animals.) 

Punishment. 

Jer.  xxiii,  1,  2, 12.  Woe  be  unto 
the  pastors  that  destroy  and  scat- 
ter the  sheep  of  my  pasture !  saith 
the  Lord.  Therefore  thus  saith 
the  Lord  God  of  Israel  against 
the  pastors  that  feed  my  people, 
Ye  have  scattered  my  flock,  and 
driven  them  away,  and  have  not 
visited  tliem ;  behold,  I  will  visit 
upon  you  tiie  evil  of  your  doings, 
saith  the  Lord.  Wherefore  their 
way  shall  be  unto  them  as  slip- 
pery Ji'oys  in  the  darkness ;  they 
shall  be  driven  on,  and  fall  there- 
in: for  I  will  bring  evil  upon  them, 
even  the  year  of  their  visitation, 
saith  the  Lord. 

Jer.  XXV,  35,  36.  And  the  sliep- 
herds  shall  have  no  way  to  flee, 
nor  the  principal  of  the  flock  to 
escape.  A  voice  of  the  cry  of  the 
shepherds,  and  an  howling  of  the 
principal  of  the  flock,  shall  be 
heard:  for  the  Lord  hath  spoiled 
their  pasture. 

Hosea  iv,  9.  And  there  shall  be, 
like  people,  like  priest:  and  I 
Will  punish  them  for  tlieir  ways, 
and  reward  tliem  their  doings. 

Mai.  ii,  1,  2,  9.  And  now,  O  ye 
priests,  this  commandment  is  for 
you.  If  ye  Avill  not  hear,  and  if 
ye  will  not  lay  it  to  heart,  to  give 
glory  unto  my  name,  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  I  will  even  send  a 
curse  upon  you,  and  I  will  curse 
your  blessings;  yea,  I  have  cursed 
them  already,  because  ye  do  not 
lay  it  to  heart.  Therefore  have  I 
also  made  you  contemptible  and 
base  before  all  the  people,  ac- 
cording as  ye  have  not  kept  my 
ways,  but  have  been  partial  in  the 
law.

JEALOUSIES,  ETC. 

Jets  Ix.,  26, 27.    And  when  Saul 


was  come  to  Jerusalem,  he  assay- 
ed to  join  himself  to  the  disciples: 
but  they  were  all  afraid  of  liim, 
and  believed  not  that  he  was  a 
disciple.  But  Barnabas  took  him, 
and  brought  him  to  the  apostles, 
and  declared  unto  them  how  he 
had  seen  the  Lord  in  the  way, 
and  that  he  had  spoken  to  him, 
and  how  he  had  preached  boldly 
at  Damascus  in  the  name  of 
Jesus. 

1  Oor.  iii,  3-5.  For  ye  are  yet 
carnal:  for  whereas  thereis  among 
you  envying,  and  strife,  and  divi- 
sions, are  ye  not  carnal,  and  walk 
as  men?  For  while  one  saith,  I 
am  of  Paul ;  and  another,  I  am 
of  Apollos;  are  ye  not  carnal? 
Who  then  is  Paul,  and  who  is 
Apollos,  but  ministers  by  whom 
ye  believed,  even  as  the  Lord 
gave  to  every  man? 

2  Co**.  V,  12.  For  we  commend 
not  ourselves  again  unto  you,  but 
give  you  occasion  to  glory  on 
our  behalf,  that  ye  may  have 
somewhat  to  answer  them  which 
glory  in  appearance,  and  not  in 
heart. 

2  Cor.  X,  12-16.  For  we  dare  not 
make  ourselves  of  the  number,  or 
compare  ourselves  with  some  that 
commend  themselves:  but  they, 
measuring  themselves  by  them- 
selves, and  comparing  themselves 
among  themselves,  are  not  wise. 
But,  we  will  not  boast  of  things 
without  our  measure,  but  accord- 
ing to  the  measure  of  the  rule 
which  God  hath  distributed  to  us, 
a  measure  to  reach  even  unto  you. 
For  we  stretch  not  ourselves  be- 
yond our  measure,  as  though  we 
reached  not  unto  you ;  for  we  are 
come  as  far  as  to  you  also  in 
preaching  the  gospel  of  Ciirist: 
Not  boasting  of  things  without 
our  measure,  that  is,  of  other 
men's  labours;  but  having  hope, 
when  your  faith  is  increased,  that 
we  shall  be  enlarged  by  you  ac- 
cording to  our  rule  abundantly. 
To  preach  the  gospel  in  the  re- 
gions beyond  you,  and  not  to 
boast  in  another  man's  line  of 
things  made  ready  to  our  hand. 

2  Cor.  xi,  12, 13.  But  what  I  do. 
that  I  will  do,  that  I  may  cut  off 
occasion  from  them  which  desire 
occasion;  that  wherein  they  glory, 
they  may  be  found  even  as  we. 
For  such  are  false  apostles,  de- 
ceitful workers,  transforming 
themselves  into  the  apostles  of 
Christ. 

Phil.  1,  15-19.  Some-  Indeed 
preach  Christ  even  of  envy  and 
strife;  and  some  also  of  good  will. 
The  one  preach  Christ  of  conten- 
tion, not  sincerely,  supposing  to 
add  affliction  to  my  bonds;  But 
the  other  of  love,  knowing  that  I 
am  set  for  the  defence  of  the  gos- 
pel. What  then?  notwithstanding, 
every  way,  whether  in  pretence.

or  In  truth,  Christ  is  preached; 
audi  therein  do  rejoice,  yea,  and 
will  rejoice.  For  I  know  that 
this  shall  turn  to  my  salvation 
through  your  prayer,  and  the 
supply  of  the  Spirit  of  Jebus 
Christ. 

Contention. 
Acts  XV,  36-40.  And  some  days 
after  Paul  said  unto  Barnabas,  I  .et 
us  go  again  and  visit  our  brethren 
in  every  city  where  we  have 
preached  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
and  see  how  they  do.  And  B  ir- 
nabas  determined  to  take  with 
them  John,  whose  surname  was 
Mark.  But  Paul  thought  not 
good  to  take  him  with  them,  who 
departed  from  them  from  Pam- 
phylia,  and  went  not  with  them 
to  tlie  work.  And  the  contention 
was  so  sharp  between  them,  that 
they  departed  asunder  one  from 
the  other :  and  so  Barnabas  took 
Mark,  and  sailed  unto  Cyprus; 
And  Paul  chose  Silas,  and  de- 
parted, being  recommended  by 
the  brethren  unto  the  grace  of 
God. 

Pbidb. 
3  John  9, 10.  I  wrote  unto  the 
church:  but  Diotrephes,  who  lov- 
eth  to  have  the  pre-eminence 
among  them,  receiveth  us  not. 
Wherefore,  if  I  come,  I  will  re- 
member his  deeds  winch  he  do- 
eth,  prating  against  us  with  mali- 
cious words :  and  not  content 
therewith,  neither  doth  he  himself 
receive  the  brethren,  and  forbid- 
delh  them  that  would,  and  casteth 
them  out  of  the  church. 

Heresy. 

Matth.  XV,  14.  Let  them  alone: 
they  be  blind  leaders  of  the 
blind.  And  if  the  blind  lead  the 
blind,  both  shall  fall  into  the 
ditch. 

2  Cor.  ii,  17.  For  we  are  not  as 
many,  wliich  corrupt  the  word  of 
God;  but  as  of  sincerity,  but  as  of 
God,  in  the  sight  of  God  speak  we 
in  Christ. 

2  Pet.  ii.2.  And  many  shall  follow 
their  pernicious  ways;  by  reasoa 
of  whom  tlie  way  of  truth  shall  be 
evil  spoken  of. 

Selfishness. 

Phil,  ii,  20,  21.  For  I  hare  no 
man  like  minded,  who  will  natur- 
ally care  for  your  state.  For  all 
seek  tlieir  own,  not  the  things 
which  are  Jesus  Christ's. 

Titus  i,  10,  11.  For  there  are 
many  unruly  and  vain  talkers  and 
deceivers,  specially  they  of  the 
circumcision :  Whose  mouths 
must  be  stopped,  who  subvert 
whole  houses,  teaching  things 
which  they  ought  noi,  for  filthy 
lucre's  sake. 

2  Pet.  Ii,  3.  And  through  corefe-

DUTIES  OP  THE  PEOPLE. 

OBEDIENCB. 

1  Cor.  xl,  1,  2.  Be  ye  followers 
of  me,  even  as  I  also  am  of  Christ. 
Now  I  praise  you,  brethren,  that 
ye  remember  me  in  all  things,  and 
keep  the  ordinances,  as  I  deliver- 
ed them  to  you. 

1  Gor.  xvl,  15, 16.  I  beseech  you, 
brethren,  (ye  know  the  house  of 
Stephanas,  that  it  is  the  first-fruits 
of  Achaia,  and  that  they  have  ad- 
dicted themselves  to  the  ministry 
of  the  saints.)  That  ye  submit 
yourselves  unto  such,  and  to  every 
one  tliat  helpeth  with  us,  and 
laboureth. 

Col.  iv,  10.  Arlstarchua  my  fel- 
low-prisoner saluteth  you,  and 
Marcus,  sister's  son  to  Barnabas, 
(touching  whom  ye  received  com- 
mandments: if  he  come  unto  you, 
receive  him.) 

1  Thess.  V,  12,  13.  And  we  be- 
seech you,  brethren,  to  know 
them  which  labour  among  you, 
and  are  over  you  in  the  Lord,  and 
admonish  you;  And  to  esteem 
them  very  highly  in  love  for  their 
worlis'  sake.  And  be  at  peace 
among  yourselves. 

Heb.  xiii,  7, 17.  Remember  them 
which  have  the  rule  over  you, 
who  have  spolien  unto  you  the 
word  of  God;  whose  faith  follow, 
considering  tlie  end  ot  their  con- 
versation; Obey  them  that  have 
the  rule  over  you,  and  submit 
yourselves:  for  tljey  watch  for 
your  souls,  as  tliey  that  must  give 
account;  that  they  may  do  it  with 
joy,  and  not  witli  grief:  for  that  is 
UUiJiolitable  lor  you. 

Attention. 
Mark  vi,  20.  For  Herod  feared 
John,  knowing  tliat  he  was  a  just 
man  and  an  holy,  and  observed 
him;  and  when  he  heard  him,  he 
did  many  things,  and  heard  him 
gladly. 

2  Cor.  1,  14.  As  also  ye  have 
acknowledged  us  in  part,  that  we 
are  your  rejoicing,  even  as  ye  also 
are  ours  in  the  day  of  the  Lord 
Jesus. 

2  (7or.  ii,  1,  2.  But  I  determined 
this  with  myself,  tliat  I  would  not 
come  again  to  you  in  heaviness. 
For  if  I  make  you  sorry,  who  is  he 
then  that  malicth  me  glad,  but 
the  same  which  is  made  sorry  by 
me? 

2  Cor.  vil,  6,  7.  Nevertheless 
God,  ihat  comforteth  those  tliat 
are  cast  down,  comforted  us  by 
tJie  coming  of  Titus;    And  not  by 


his  coming  only,  but  by  the  con- 
solation wherewith  he  was  com- 
torted  in  you,  when  he  told  us 
your  earnest  desire,  your  mourn- 
ing, your  fervent  mind  toward 
me;  so  that  I  rejoiced  the  more. 

Gal.  fv,  15, 16.  Where  is  then 
the  blessedness  ye  spake  of?  for  I 
bear  you  record,  that,  if  it  had 
been  possible,  ye  would  have 
plucked  out  your  own  eyes,  and 
have  given  them  to  me.  Am  I 
therefore  become  your  enemy, 
because  I  tell  you  the  truth  ? 

Phil,  ii,  29.  Receive  him  there- 
fore in  the  Lord  with  all  gladness; 
and  hold  such  in  reputation. 

Col.  1,  7,  8.  As  ye  also  learned 
of  Epaphras  our  dear  fellow-ser- 
vant, who  is  for  you  a  faithful 
minister  of  Christ;  Who  also  de- 
clared unto  ua  your  love  in  the 
Spirit. 

1  Thess.  ill,  6-9.  But  now,  when 
Timotheus  came  from  you  unto 
us,  and  brought  us  good  tidings  of 
your  faith  and  charity,  and  that 
ye  have  good  remembrances  of 
us  always,  desiring  greatly  to  see 
us,  as  we  also  to  see  you:  There- 
fore, bretliren,  we  were  comforted 
over  you  in  all  our  affliction  and 
distress  by  your  faith:  For  now 
we  live,  if  ye  stand  fast  in  the 
Lord.  For  what  thanks  can  we 
render  to  God  again  for  you,  for 
all  the  joy  wherewith  we  joy  for 
your  sakes  before  our  God. 

3  John  8.  We  therefore  ought 
to  receive  such,  that  we  might  be 
fellow-helpers  to  the  truth. 


Acts  Ix,  38.  And  forasmuch  as 
Lydda  was  nigh  to  Joppa,  and  the 
disciples  had  heard  that  Peter 
was  there,  they  sent  unto  him  two 
men,  desiring  him  that  he  would 
not  delay  to  come  to  them. 

Acts  X,  5, 6,  21-24,  32,  33.  And 
now  send  men  to  Joppa,  and  call 
for  one  Simon,  whose  surname  is 
Peter:  He  lodgeth  with  one 
Simon  a  tanner,  whose  house  is  by 
the  sea-side:  he  shall  teirthee  what 
thou  oughtest  to  do.  Then  Peter 
went  down  to  the  men  which 
were  sent  unto  him  from  Cor- 
nelius, and  said,  Behold,  I  am  he 
whom  ye  seek:  what  is  the  cause 
wherefore  ye  are  come  ?  And 
they  said,  Cornelius  the  centurion, 
a  just  man,  and  one  that  fearetli 
God,  and  of  good  report  among 
all  the  nation  of  the  Jews,  was 
warned  from  God  by  an  holy 
angel  to  send  for  thee  into  his 
house,  and  to  hear  words  of  thee. 
Then  called  he  them  in,  and 
lodged  them.  And  on  the  morrow 
Peter  went  away  with  them,  and 
certain  brethren  from  Joppa  ac- 
companied him.  And  the  morrow 
alter  they  entered  into  Cesarea, 
179 


And  Cornelius  waited  for  them.and 
had  called  together  his  kinsmen 
and  near  friends.  Send  therefore 
to  Joppa,  and  call  hither  Simon, 
whose  surname  is  Peter;  he  is 
lodged  in  the  house  of  one  Simon 
a  tanner  by  the  sea-side;  who, 
when  he  cometh,  sliall  speak  uuto 
thee.  Immediately  tlierefore  I 
sent  to  thee;  and  thou  hast  well 
done  that  thou  art  come.  Now 
therefore  are  we  all  lure  present 
before  God,  to  hear  all  things  that 
are  commanded  thee  of  God. 

^c«sxiii,7.  Which  WHS  with  the 
deputy  of  the  country,  Sergius 
Paulus,  a  prudent  man;  who  culled 
for  Barnabas  and  Saul,  and  desired 
to  hear  the  word  of  God. 


SUPPORT  OF  THE  GOSPEL 
MINISTRY. 

3Iatth.  X,  1,  8-10.  And  when  he 
had  called  uuto  him  his  twelve 
disciples,  he  gave  tliem  power 
against  unclean  spirits,  to  cast 
them  out,  and  to  heal  all  manner 
of  sickness,  and  all  manner  of  dis- 
ease. Heal  the  sick,  cleanse  the 
lepers,  raise  the  dead,  cast  out 
devils:  freely  ye  have  received, 
Ireely  give.  Provide  neither  gold, 
nor  silver,  nor  brass  in  your 
purses,  Nor  scrip  for  j/'owr  journey, 
neither  two  coats,  neither  i-hoes, 
nor  yet  staves ;  for  the  workman 
is  worthy  of  his  meat. 

Luke  X,  7,  8  And  In  the  same 
house  remain,  eating  and  drink- 
ing such  things  as  they  give:  for 
the  labourer  is  worthy  of  his  hire. 
Go  not  from  house  to  house.  And 
into  whatsoever  city  ye  enter,  and 
they  receive  you,  eat  such  things 
as  are  set  before  you. 

1  Cor.  ix,  6-11, 14.  Or  I  only  and 
Barnabas,  have  not  we  power  to 
forbear  working?  Who  goeth  a 
warfare  any  time  at  his  own 
charges?  who  plant eth  a  vineyard, 
and  eateth  not  of  the  fruit  thereof? 
or  who  feedeth  a  flock,  and  eateth 
not  of  the  milk  of  the  flock?  Say 
I  these  things  as  a  man?  or  saith 
not  tlie  law  the  same  also?  For  it 
is  written  in  the  law  of  Moses, 
Thou  Shalt  not  muzzle  the  mouth 
of  the  ox  that  treadeth  out  the 
corn.  Doth  God  take  care  for 
oxen?  Or  saith  he  it  altogether 
for  our  sakes?  For  our  sakes,  no 
doubt,  this  is  written:  that  he  that 
plougheth  should  plough  in  hope; 
and  that  he  that  thrasheth  in 
hope  should  be  partalier  of  his 
hope.  If  we  have  sown  unto  you 
spiritual  things,  is  it  a  great  thing 
if  we  Bliall  reap  your  carnal 
things?  Even  so  hath  the  Lord 
ordained  that  they  which  preach 
the  gospel  should  live  of  the 
gospel. 

Gal.  vl,  6.  Let  him  that  Ig

3  John  7.  Because  that  for  his 
name's  sake  they  went  forth, 
taking  nothing  of  the  Gentiles. 

1  Oor.  xvi,  17, 18.  I  am  glad  of 
the  coming  of  Steplianas,  and 
Fortunatus.and  Achaicus:  for  that 
which  was  lacking  on  your  part 
they  have  supplied.  For  they 
have  refreshed  my  spirit  and 
yours :  therefore  acknowledge  ye 
them  that  are  such, 

Phil,  iv,  10, 14-18.  But  I  rejoiced 
In  the  Lord  greatly,  tliat  now  at 
the  last  your  cara  of  me  hath 
flourished  again;  wherein  ye  were 
also  careful,  but  ye  lacked  oppor- 
tunity. Notwithstanding  ye  have 
well  done  that  ye  did  c  )inniuni- 
cate  with  my  affliction.  Now,  ye 
Philippians  know  also,  that  in  the 
beginning  of  the  gospel,  when  I 
departed  from  Macedonia,  no 
church  communicated  with  me, 
as  concerning  giving  and  receiv- 
ing, but  ye  only.  For  even  in 
Thessalunica  ye  sent  once  and 
again  unto  my  neci.'ssi!y.  Not 
because  I  desire  a  gift;  but  I-  de- 
sire fruit  that  may  abound  to  your 
account.  But  1  have  all,  and 
abound:  I  am  full,  having  received 
of  EpaptirodiLu.s  the  things  lohich 
were  serit  from  you,  an  odour  of  a 
sweet  sincll,  a  s;icriiice  acceptable, 
well-pleasiug  to  God. 


DISINTERESTED  CONDUCT 
OF  THE  APOSTLE  PAUL. 
Acts  xviii,  3.  And  because  he 
was  of  the  same  craft,  he  abode 
with  them,  and  wrought;  for  by 
their  occupation  they  were  tent 
makers. 

Acts  XX,  33,  34.  I  have  coveted 
no  man's  silver,  or  gold,  or  ap- 
parel. Yea,  ye  yourselves  know, 
that  these  hands  have  ministered 
unto  ray  necessities,  and  to  them 
that  were  with  me. 

1  Cor.  ix,  12, 15, 18.  If  others  be 
partakers  of  this  power  over  you, 
a7'e  not  we  rathei?  Nevertheless 
we  have  not  used  this  power;  but 
suffer  all  things,  lest  we  should 
hinder  the  gospel  of  Christ.  But 
I  have  used  none  of  these  things; 
neither  have  I  written  these 
tldngs,  that  it  should  be  so  done 
unto  me:  lor  it  were  better  forme 
to  die,  than  that  any  man  should 
make  my  glorying  void.  What 
is  my  reward  then?  Verily,  that, 
when  I  preach  the  gospel,  1  may 
make  the  gospel  of  Christ  without 
charge,  that  I  abuse  not  my  power 
in  the  gospel. 

2  Cor.  xi,  7-9.  Have  I  committ- 
ed an  offence  in  abasing  myself 
that  ye  might  be  exalted,  because 
I  have  preached  to  you  the  gospel 
of  God  freely?  I  robbed  other 
churches,  taking  wages  of  them, 
to  do  yua  service.    Aud  vLea  I 

480 


was  present  with  yon,  and  wanted, 
I  was  chargeable  to  no  man:  for 
that  which  was  lacking  to  me  tlie 
brethren  which  came  from  Mace- 
donia supplied;  and  in  all  things  1 
have  kept  myself  from  being  bur- 
densome unto  you,  and  so  will  I 
keep  myself. 

2  Car.  xli,  13, 16-18.  For  what  is 
it  wherein  you  were  inferior  to 
other  churches,  except  it  be  that 
I  myself  was  not  burdensome  to 
you?  forgive  me  this  wrong,  Bui; 
be  it  so,  I  did  not  burden  y.  u: 
nevertheless,  being  craffy,  I 
caught  you  with  guile.  Did  I 
malie  a  gain  of  you  by  any  of 
them  whom  I  sent  unto  you?  I 
desired  Titus,  and  with  him  I  sent 
a  bruther:  did  Titus  make  a  gain 
of  yon?  walked  we  not  in  the  same 
spirit?  tvallced  we  not  in  the  same 
steps? 

1  Thess.  ii,  6,  9.  Nor  of  men 
sought  we  glory,  neither  of  you, 
nor  yet  of  otliers,  when  we  uii-ht 
have  been  burdensome,  as  the 
apostles  of  Clirist,  For  ye  re- 
member, brethren,  our  labour  and 
travail:  for  labouring  night  and 
day,  because  we  would  not  be 
chargeable  unto  any  of  you,  we 
preached  unto  you  the  gospel  of 
God, 

2  Thess.  iii,  9.  Not  because  we 
have  not  power,  but  to  make  our- 
selves an  ensample  unto  juu  to 
follow  us.

fatiiers,  the  God  ot  Abraham,  the 
God  of  Isaac,  and  the  God  of 
Jacob,  hath  appeared  unto  tliee. 
And  It  shall  come  to  pass,  if  they 
will  not  believe  thee, '  neitlier 
hearken  to  the  voice  of  the  first 
sign, I  hat  tlieywill  believe  tlievoice 
of  the  latter  sign.  And  it  shall 
come  to  pass,  if  tliey  will  not  be- 
lieve also  these  two  signs,  neither 
hoarlten  unto  thy  voice,  tliat  thou 
slialt  taive  of  the  water  of  the

land  of  Egypt.  And  in  tlie 
morning,  then  ye  shall  see  tiie 
glory  of  tlie  Lord;  for  that  he 
heareth  your  murniurings  against 
the  Loud:  and  what  are  we,  that 
ye  murmur  against  us?  I  have 
heard  the  murmurings  of  the 
cliildren  of  Israel:  speak  unto 
them,  saying,  At  even  ye  shall  eat 
flesli,  and  in  the  morning  ye  shall 
be  filled  witli  bread;  and  ye  shall 
knowtliat  I  am  the  Lord  your  God.

out  from  before  you  the  Canaan- 
ites

therefore  give  us  two  bullocks; 
and  let  them  choose  one  bullock 
for  themselves,  and  cut  it  in 
pieces,  and  lay  it  on  wood,  and 
put  no  Are  under;  and  I  will  dress 
the  otlier  bullock,  and  lay  it  on 
wood,  and  put  no  Are  under: 
Aud  call  yo  on  the  name  ot  jour 


gods,  and  I  will  cnll  on  the  name 
of  tiie  Lord;  and  the  God  tliat 
answereth  by  fire,  let  him  be  God. 
And  all  the  people  answered  and 
said.  It  is  well  spoken. 

Mark  ii,  9-12.  Whether  fa  It 
easier  to  say  to  tiie  sick  of  the 
palsy.  Thy  sins  be  forgiven  thee; 
or  to  say.  Arise,  and  take  up  thy 
bed,  and  walk?  But  that  ye  may

power  on  earth  to  forgive  sins,

1  say  unto  thee,  Arise,  and  take

where  the  dead  was  laid.  And

Father,  I  thank  thee  that  thou 
hast  heard  me.  And  I  knew  tliat 
thou  hearest  me  always:  but  be- 
cause of  the  people  which  stand 
by  I  said  it,  that  they  may  believe 
that  thou  hast  sent  me. 


Exod.  Iv.  29-31.  And  Moses 
and  Aaron  went  and  gathered 
together  all  the  elders  of  the 
children  of  Israel:  And  Aaron 
spake  all  the  words  which  the 
Lord  had  spoken  unto  Mosea, 
and  did  the  signs  in  the  sight  of 
the  people.  And  the  people  be- 
lieved; and  when  they  heard  that

beholding  the  man  which  was 
healed  standing  with  them,  they 
could  say  nothing  against  it. 
Saying,  What  shall  we  do  to  these 
men?  for  that  indeed  a  notable 
miracle  hath  been  done  by  them 
is  manifest  to  all  them  that  dwell 
in  Jerusalem;  and  we  cannot  deny 
it.  But,  that  it  spread  no  further 
among  the  people,  let  us  straitly 
threaten  them,  that  they  speak 
hencetbrth  to  no  man  in  this 
name.  So  when  they  had  further 
threatened  them,  they  let  them  go.

the  child;  but  there  was  neither 
voice  nor  hearing:  wherefore  he

recover  him  of  his  leprosy.  And 
it  came  to  pass,  when  the  king  of 
Israel  had  read  the  letter,  that  he 
rent  his  clothes,  and  said.  Am  I 
God,  to  kill  and  to  make  alive, 
that  this  man  doth  send  unto  me 
to  recover  a  man  of  his  leprosy? 
Wherefore  consider,  I  pray  you, 
and  see  how  he  seeketh  a  quarrel 
against  me.  Aad  it  was  so,  when

Because  of  your  unbelief:  for 
verily  I  say  unto  you,  If  ye  have 
faith  as  a  grain  of  mustard-seed, 
ye  shall  say  unto  this  mountain. 
Remove  hence  to  yonder  place,  and 
it  shall  remove;  and  nothing  shall 
be  impo.'jsible  unto  you.  Howbeit 
this  kind  goeth  not  out  but  by 
prayer  and  fasting.

and  Japheth,  the  sons  of  Noah, 
and  Noah's  wife,' and  the  three

Gen.  viil,  1-5, 13--16 God 

made  a  wind  to  pass  over  the 
earth,  and  the  waters  asswaged : 
The  fountains  also  of  the  deep, 
and  the  windows  of  heaven,  were 
stopped,  and  the  rain  from  hea- 
ven was  restrained :  And  the  wa- 
ters returned  from  off  the  earth 
continually :  and  after  the  end  of 
the  hundred  and  fifty  days  the 
waters  were  abated.  And  the  ark 
rested  in  the  seventh  month,  on 
the  seventeenth  day  of  the  month, 
upon  the  mountains  of  Ararat. 
And  the  waters  decreased  contin- 
ually until  the  tenth  month :  in 
the  tenth  month,  on  the  first  day 
of  the  month,  were  the  tops  of  the 
mountains  seen.  And  it  came  to

day  of  the  month,  the  waters  were 
dried  up  from  off  the  earth ;  and 
Noah  removed  the  covering  of  the 
ark,  and  looked,  and,  behold,  the 
face  of  the  ground  was  dry.  And 
in  the  second  month,  on  the  seven

Heb.  xi,  7.  By  faith  Noah,  being 
warned  of  God  of  things  not  seen 
as  yet,  moved  with  fear,  prepared 
an  ark  to  the  saving  of  his  house; 
by  the  which  he  condemned  the

Exodus  iv,  2-4,  6,  7.  And  the 
Lord  said  unto  him,  What  is  that 
in  thine  hand?  And  he  said,  A 
rod.  And  he  said.  Cast  it  on  the 
ground.  And  he  cast  It  on  the 
ground,  and  it  became  a  serpent; 
and  Moses  fled  from  before  it. 
And  the  Lord  said  unto  Moses, 
Put  forth  thine  hand,  and  take  it 
by  the  tail.  And  he  put  forth 
his  hand  and  caught  it,  and  It 
became  a  rod  in  his  hand:  And 
he  Lord  said  furtliermore  un- 
to him,  Put  now  thine  hand 
into  thy  bosom.  And  he  put 
his  hand  into  his  bosom :  and 
when  he  took  it  out,  behold,  his 
hand  was  leprous  as  snow.  And 
he  said,  Put  thine  hand  into  thy 
bosom  again.  And  he  put  his 
hand  into  his  bosom  again;  and 
plucked  it  out  of  his  bosom,  and, 
behold,  it  was  turned  again  as  his 
other  flesh. 

Exod.  vii,  9,  10.  When  Pharaoh

and  it  shall  become  a  serpent. 
And  Moses  and  Aaron  went  in 
unto  Pharaoh,  and  they  did  so  as 
the  LoKo  had  commanded :  and 
Aaron  cast  down  his  rod  before 
Pharaoh,  and  belbre  his  servants,

Exod.  vlii,  5--15.  And  the  Lono 
spake  unto  Moses,  Say  unto  Aaron, 
Stretch  forth  thine  hand  with  tiiy 
rod  over  the  streams,  over  the 
rivers,  and  over  the  ponds,  and 
cause  frogs  to  come  up  upon  the 
land  of  Euypt.  And  Aaron  stretch- 
ed out  his  hand  over  the  waters 
of  Egypt;  and  the  frogs  came  up, 
and  covered  thp  land  of  Egypt. 
And  (he  magicians  did  so  with 
their  enchantments,  and  brought 
up  frogs  upon  the  land  of  Egypt. 
Then  Pharaoii  called  for  Moses 
and  Aaron,  and  said,  Entreat  the 
Lord,  that  he  may  take  away  the 
frogs  from  me,  and  from  my  peo- 
ple; and  I  will  let  the  people  go, 
that  they  may  do  sacrifice  unto 
the  LoKD.  And  Moses  said  unto 
Pliaraoh,  Glory  over  me :  when 
f^hall  I  entreat  for  thee,  .  nd  for 
thy  servants,  and  for  thy  people, 
to  destroy  the  frogs  from  thee  and 
thy  houses,  that  they  may  remain 
in  the  river  only?  And  he  said. 
To-morrow.  And  he  said,  Be  it 
according  to  thy  word;  that  thou 
mayest  know  that  there  is  none 
like  unto  the  Lord  our  God.  And 
the  frogs  shall  depru't  from  thee, 
and  from  thy  1  ovises,  and  from 
thy  servants,  and  from  tliy  people; 
they  shall  remain  in  the  river 
only.  And  Moses  and  Aaron  went 
out  from  Pharaoh ;  and  Moses 
cried  unto  the  Lord  becaTise  of 
the  frogs  which  he  had  brought 
against  Pharaoh.  And  the  Lord 
did  according  to  the  word  of 
Moses;  and  the  frogs  died  out  of 
the  houses,  out  of  the  villages,  and 
out  of  the  fields.  And  tljey  ga- 
thi  red  them  together  upon  heaps; 
and  the  land  stank.  J?ut  when 
Pharaoii  saw  that  there  was  re-

hearkened  not  unto  them ;  as  the 
Lord  had  said.

swarm  of  flies  into  the  house  of 
Pharaoh,  and  into  his  servants' 
houses,  and  into  all  the  land  of 
Egypt:  the  land  was  corrupted  ])y 
reason  of  the  swarm  of  flies.  And 
Moses  went  out  from  Pharaoh, 
and  entreated  the  Lord.  And  the 
Lord  did  according  to  the  word  of 
Moses;  and  he  removed  the 
swarms  of  flies  from  Pharaoh, 
from  his  servants,  and  from  his 
people;  there  remained  not  one. 
And  Pharaoh  hardened  his  heart 
at  this  time  also,  neither  would  he 
let  the  people  go.

Exod.  ix,  3-7.  Behold,  the  hand

which  is  in  the  field,  upon  the 
horses,  upon  the  asses,  upon  the 
camels,  upon  the  oxen,  and  upon 
the  sheep:  there  shall  be  a  very 
grievous  murrain.  And  the  Lord 
shall  sever  between  the  cattle  of 
Israel  and  the  cattle  of  Egypt: 
and  there  shall  nothing  die  of  all 
that  is  the  children's  of  Israel. 
And  the  Lord  appointed  a  set 
time,  saying,  To-morrow  the  Lord 
shall  do  this  thing  in  the  land. 
And  the  Lord  did  that  thing  on 
the  morrow,  and  all  the.  cattle  of 
Egjrpt  died;  but  of  the  cattle  of 
the  children  of  Israel  died  not 
one.  And  Pharaoh  sent,  and,  be- 
hold, there  was  not  one  of  the 
cattle  of  the  Israelites  dead.  And 
the  heart  of  Pharaoh  was  harden- 
ed, and  he  did  not  let  the  people 
go.

about  this  time,  I  will  cause  it  to

Send  therefore  now,  and  gather

his  cattle  flee  into  the  houses: 
And  he  that  regarded  not  the 
word  of  tho  Lord  left  his  servants 
and  his  cattle  in  the  field.  And 
the  Lord  said  unto  Moses,  Stretch 
forth  thine  hand  toward  heaven, 
that  there  may  be  liail  in  all  the 
land  of  Egypt,  upon  man,  and 
upon  beast,  and  upon  every 
herb  of  the  field,  throughout 
the  land  of  Egypt.  And  Moses 
stretched  forth  his  rod  toward 
heaven:  and  the  Lord  sent  thun- 
der and  hail,  and  the  fire  ran  along 
upon  the  ground;  and  the  Lord 
rained  hail  upon  the  land  of 
Egypt.  So  there  was  hail,  and 
fire  mingled  with  the  hail,  very 
grievous,  such  as  there  was  none 
like  it  in  all  the  land  of  Egypt 
since  it  became  a  nation.  And 
the  hail  smote  throughout  all  the 
land  of  Egypt  all  that  was  in  the 
field,  both  man  and  beast;  and  the 
hail  smote  every  herb  of  the  field, 
an  1  brake  every  tree  of  the  field. 
Ouly  in  the  land  of  Gosheii,  where 
the  children  of  Israel  were,  was 
there  no  hail.  And  Pliaraoh  sent, 
and  culled  for  Moses  and  Aaron, 
and  said  unto  them,  1  have  sinned 
this  time :  the  Lord  is  righteous, 
and  I  and  my  people  are  wicked. 
Entreat  the  Lord,  (tor  it  is 
enough,)  "that  there  be  no  more 
mighty  thumlerings  and  hail;  and 
I  will  let  you  go,  and  ye  shall 
stay  no  longer.  Aud  Moses  said 
unto  him.  As  soon  as  I  am  gone 
out  of  the  city,  I  will  spread 
abroad  my  hands  unto  the  Loito; 
and  the  thunder  shall  cease,  nei- 
ther shall  there  be  any  more  liail; 
that  thou  mayest  know  how  that 
the  earth  is  the  Lord's.  And 
Moses  went  out  of  the  city  from 
Pi araoh,  and  spread  abroad  his 
hands  unto  the  Lord;  and  the 
thunders  aud  hail  ceased,  and  tlie 
rain  was  not  poured  upon  the 
earth.  And  when  Pharaoh  saw 
that  the  rain,  and  the  hail,  and  the 
thunders,  were  ceased,  he  sinned 
yet  more,  and  hardened  his  heart, 
he  and  his  servants.  And  the 
heart  of  Pliaraoh  was  hardened, 
neither  would  he  let  the  children 
of  Israel  go;  as  the  Lord  had 
spoken  by  Moses. 

Locusts. 
Exod.  X,  1,  12  -  20.  And  the 
Lord  said  unto  Moses,  Go  in  unto 
Pharaoh:  for  I  have  hardened  his 
heart,  and  the  heart  of  his  ser- 
vants, that  I  might  shew  these  my 
signs  before  him:  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  Moses,  Stretch  oultlilne 
hand  over  the  land  of  Egypt  for 
the  locusts,  that  they  may  come 
up  upon  the  land  of  Egypt,  and 
eat  every  herb  of  the  land,  even 
all  that  the  hail  hath  left.  And 
Moses  stretched  forth  his  rod  over 
the  land  of  Egypt,  and  the  Lord 
brought  an  east  wind  upon  the 


land  all  that  day,  and  all  that 
niglit;  a7id  wlien  it  was  morning', 
the  east  wind  brought  tlie  locusts. 
And  the  locusts  went  up  over  all 
the  land  of  Egypt,  and  rested  in 
all  the  coasts  of  Egypt:  very 
grievous  were  they;  before  them 
there  were  no  such  locusts  as 
they,*neither  after  them  shall  be 
such.  For  they  covered  the  face 
of  the  whole  earth,  so  that  the 
land  was  darkened;  and  they  did 
eat  every  herb  of  the  land,  and  all 
the  fruit  of  the  trees  which  the 
hail  had  left:  and  there  remained 
not  any  green  thing  in  the  trees, 
or  in  the  herbs  of  the  field, 
through  all  the  land  of  Egypt. 
Then  Pharaoh  called  lor  Muses 
and  Aaron  in  haste;  and  he  said, 
I  have  tiinned  against  the  Lokd 
your  God,  and  against  you.  Now 
therefore  forgive,  I  pray  thee,  my 
sin  only  (his  once,  and  entreat  the 
LoBD  your  God,  tliat  he  may  take 
away  from  me  this  death  only. 
And  he  went  out  from  Pliaraoh, 
and  entreated  the  Lord.  And  the 
Lord  turned  a  mighty  strong  west 
■wind,  wl)ich  took  away  the  lo- 
custs, and  cast  them  into  the  Red 
£ea;  there  remained  not  one  lo- 
cust in  all  the  coasts  of  Egypt. 
But  the  Lord  hardened  Pharaoh's 
heart,  so  that  he  would  not  let  the 
children  of  Israel  go. 

Dafkness. 
Exod.  X,  21-23.  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  Moses,  Stretch  out  thine 
hand  toward  heaven,  that  there 
may  be  darkness  over  the  land  of 
Egypt,  even  darkness  which  may 
bo  felt.  And  Moses  stretched 
forth  his  hand  toward  heaven ; 
and  there  was  a  thick  darkness  in 
all  the  land  of  Egypt  three  days: 
They  saw  not  one  another,  neither 
rose  any  from  his  place  for  three 
days:  but  all  the  children  of  Israel 
had  light  in  their  dwellings. 

And  Fihst-Boen  Destroyed. 

Exod.  xi,  4-6.  And  Moses  said, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord,  About  mid- 
niglit  will  I  go  out  into  the  midst 
of  Egypt:  And  all  the  first-born  in 
the  land  of  Egypt  sliall  die,  from 
the  first-born  of  Pharaoh  that 
sitteth  upon  his  ihrone,  even  unto 
the  first-born  of  the  maid-servant 
that  ii  behind  the  mill;  and  all  the 
firot-born  of  beasts.  And  there 
snail  be  a  great  cry  throughout  all 
the  land  of  Egypt,  sucli  as  there 
was  none  like  it,  nor  shall  be  like 
it  any  more. 

Exod.  xii,  28-30.  And  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  went  away,  and  did 
as  the  Lord  had  commanded 
Moses  and  Aaron,  so  did  tliey. 
And  it  came  to  pass,  that  at  mid- 
night the  Lord  smote  all  the  first- 
horn  in  the  land  of  Egypt,  from 
the  first-born  of  Pharaoh  that  sat 
on  his  throne,  unto  the  flrst-born 


MIRACLES. 

of  the  captive  that  teas  in  the 
dungeon,  and  all  the  first-born  of 
cattle.  And  Pharaoh  rose  up  in 
the  night,  he.  and  all  his  servants, 
and  all  the  Egyptians;  and  there 
was  a  great  cry  in  Egypt:  for  there 
was  not  a  house  where  there  was 
not  one  dead. 

Neh.  ix,  10.  And  showedst  signs 
and  wonders  upon  Pharaoh,  and 
on  all  his  servants,  and  on  all  the 
people  of  his  land;  for  thou  knew- 
est  that  they  dealt  proudly  agiiinst 
them:  so  didst  thou  get  thee  a 
name,  as  it  is  this  day. 

Ps.  cxxxv,  8.  Who  smote  the 
flrst-born  of  Egypt,  both  of  man 
and  beast. 

Jer.  xxxii,  20,21.  Which  hast 
set  signs  and  wonders  in  the  land 
of  Egypt,  even  unto  this  day,  and 
in  Israel,  and  among  other  men; 
and  hast  made  thee  a  name,  as  at 
this  day;  And  hast  brought  forih 
thy  people  Israel  out  of  the  land 
of  Egypt  with  signs;  and  with 
wonders,  and  with  a  strong  hand, 
and  with  a  stretched-out  aim,  and 
with  great  terror. 

Red  Sea  Divided. 
Exod.  xiv,  27.  28.  And  Moses 
stretched  forth  liis  hand  over  the 
sea,  and  the  sea  returned  to  his 
strength  when  the  morning  ap- 
peared; and  the  Egyptians  fled 
against  it;  and  the  Lord  overthrew 
the  Egyptians  in  the  midst  of  the 
sea.  And  the  waters  returned, 
and  covered  the  chariots,  and  the 
horsemen,  and  all  the  host  of 
Pharaoh  that  came  into  the  sea 
af'ier  them;  there  remained  not  so 
much  as  one  of  them. 

The  Shechinah. 

Exod.  xiii,  21,  22.  And  the  Loan 
went  before  them  by  day  in  a  pil- 
lar of  a  cloud,  to  lead  them  the 
way;  and  by  night  in  a  pillar  of 
fire,  to  give  them  light;  to  go  by 
day  and  night.  He  took  not  away 
the  pillar  of  the  cloud  by  day,  nor 
the  pillar  of  fire  by  night,  from  be- 
fore the  people, 

Exod.  xiv,  19,  20.  And  the  angel 
of  God,  which  went  before  the 
camp  of  Israel,  removed  and  went 
behind  them;  and  the  pillar  of  the 
cloud  went  from  before  their  face, 
and  stood  behind  them:  And  it 
came  between  the  camp  of  the 
Egyptians  and  the  camp  of  Israel; 
and  it  was  a  cloud  and  darkness 
to  them,  but  it  gave  light  by  night 
to  these:  so  that  the  one  came  not 
near  the  other  all  the  night. 

Exod.  xl,  34-38.  Then  a  cloud 
covered  the  tent  of  the  congrega- 
tion, and  the  glory  of  the  Lord 
filled  the  tabernacle.  And  Moses 
was  not  able  to  enter  into  the  tent 
of  the  congregation,  because  the 
cloud  abode  thereon,  and  the 
glory  of  the  Lord  filled  the  taher- 
485 


nacle.  And  when  the  clotid  was 
taken  up  from  over  the  tabernar 
cle,  the  children  of  I-srael  went 
onward  in  all  their  journeys:  But 
if  the  cloud  were  not  taken  up, 
then  they  journeyed  not  till  the 
day  that  it  was  taken  up.  For 
the  cloud  of  the  Lord  was  upon 
the  tabernacle  by  day,  and  fire  was 
on  it  by  night,  in  the  sight  of  all 
the  house  of  Israel,  throughout  all 
their  journeys. 

Num.  ix,  15  23.  And  on  the  day 
that  the  tabernacle  was  reared  up, 
the  cloud  covered  the  tabernacle, 
namely,  the  tent  of  the  testimony: 
and  at  even  there  was  upon  tlie 
tabernacle  as  it  were  the  appear- 
ance of  fire,  until  the  morning. 
So  it  was  alway:  the  cloud  covered 
it  by  day,  and  the  appearance  ot 
fire  by  night.  And  when  the 
cloud  was  taken  up  from  the  ta- 
bernacle, then  after  that  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  journeyed :  and  in 
the  place  where  the  cloud  abode, 
there  the  children  of  Israel  pitch- 
ed their  tents.  At  the  command- 
ment of  the  Lord  the  children  of 
Israel  journeyed,  and  at  the  com- 
maudment  of  the  Lord  they  pitch- 
ed :  as  long  as  the  cloud  abode 
upon  the  tabernacle  they  rested 
in  their  tents.  And  when  the 
cloud  tarried  long  upon  thi-  taber- 
nacle many  days,  then  the  children 
of  Israel  kept  the  charge  of  the 
Lord,  and  journeyed  not.  And  so 
it  was,  when  the  cloud  was  a  few 
days  upon  the  tabernacle;  accord- 
ing to  the  commandment  of  the 
Lord  thej'  abode  in  their  tents, 
and  according  to  the  coinmand- 
ment  of  the  Lord  they  journeyed. 
And  so  it  was,  when  the  cloud 
abode  from  even  unto  the  morn- 
ing, and  that  the  cloud  was  taken 
up  in  the  morning,  tlien  they  jour- 
neyed :  whether  it  teas  by  day  or 
by  night  that  the  cloud  was  taken 
up,  they  journeyed.  Or  whether 
it  tvere  two  days,  or  a  month,  or  a 
year,  that  the  cloud  tarried  upon 
the  tabei  nacle,  remaining  thereon, 
the  children  of  Israel  abode  in 
their  tents,  and  journeyed  not: 
but  when  it  was  taken  up,  they 
journeyed.  At  the  commandment 
of  the  Lord  they  rested  in  their 
tents,  and  at  the  commandment  of 
the  Lord  they  journeyed:  they 
kept  the  charge  of  the  Lord,  at 
the  commandment  of  the  Lord  by 
the  hand  of  Moses, 

Num.  xiv,  10,  But  all  the  con- 
gregation bade  stone  them  with 
stones.  And  the  glory  of  the  Lord 
appeared  in  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation  before  all  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel. 

Num.  xvi,  42, 43.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  when  the  congregation  was 
gathered  against  Moses  and 
against  Aaron,  ihat  they  looked 
toward  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation :  and,  behold,  the  cloud 


covered  It,  and  the  glory  of  the 
LoEu  appeared.  And  Moses  and 
Aaron  came  before  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation. 

Ps.  Ixxviii,  14.  In  the  day-time 
also  he  led  them  with  a  cloud, 
and  all  the  night  with  a  light  of 
fire. 

Fs.  xcix,  7.  He  spake  unto  them 
In  the  Cloudy  pillar:  they  kept  his 
tf'stimonies,  and  the  ordinance 
tliat  he  gave  them. 

Fs.  cv,  39.  He  spread  a  cloud  for 
a  covering,  and  tire  to  give  light 
In  the  niglit. 

Neh.  ix,  12, 19,  Moreover,  thou 
leddest  them  in  the  day  by  a 
cloudy  pillar,  and  in  the  night  by 
a  pillar  of  tire,  to  give  them  light 
in  the  way  wherein  they  should 
go.  Yet  thou,  in  thy  manifold 
mercies,  forsookest  them  not  in 
tlie  wilderness ;  the  pillar  of  the 
cloud  departed  not  from  them  by 
day,  to  lead  them  in  the  way;  nei- 
ther the  pillar  of  fire  by  night,  to 
shew  them  light,  and  the  way 
wherein  they  should  go. 

Transfigueation  op  Moses, 
Exod.  xxxlv,  29  33.  And  it  came 
to  pass,  when  Moses  came  down 
from  mount  Sinai  with  the  two 
tables  of  testimony  in  Moses' 
hand,  when  he  came  down  from 
the  mount,  that  Moses  wist  not 
that  the  skin  of  his  facj  shone 
while  he  talked  with  him.  And 
when  Aaron  and  all  the  children 
of  Israel  saw  Moses,  behold,  the 
skin  of  his  face  shone:  and  they 
were  afraid  to  come  nigh  hiin. 
And  Moses  called  unto  them;  and 
Aaron  and  all  the  rulers  of  the 
congregation  returned  unto  him : 

Jnd  Moses  talked  with  them.  And 
fterward  all  the  children  of  Is- 
rael came  nigh:  and  he  gave  them 
in  conimandnitnt  all  that  the 
Lord  had  spoken  with  him  in 
mount  Sinai.  Anil  till  Moses  had 
done  speaking  with  them,  he  put 
a  vail  on  his  face.  But  when  Mo- 
ses went  in  before  the  Lord,  to 
speak  with  him,  he  took  the  vail 
off,  until  he  c;ime  out.  And  he 
came  out,  and  spake  unto  the 
children  of  Israel  that  which  he 
was  commanded.  And  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  saw  the  face  of  Mo- 
ses, that  the  skin  of  Mo;^es'  face 
shone;  and  Moses  put  the  vail  up- 
on ids  tiic'^  •itciiin,  until  he  went  in 
to  speak  with  Him. 


2  Cor.  ill,  13.  And  not  as  Moses, 
which  put  a  vail  over  his  face,  that 
the  cliildren  of  Israel  could  not 
Btcdfasily  look  to  the  end  of  that 
which  is  abolished. 

Water  Sweetened. 
Exod.  XV,  24, 25.  And  the  peopio 


MIRACLES. 

mnrmured  against  Moses,  saying, 
What  shall  we  drink?  And  he 
cried  unto  the  Lord;  and  the  Lord 
shewed  him  a  tree,  which  when 
he  had  cast  into  the  waters,  the 
waters  were  made  sweet:  there  lie 
made  for  them  a  statute  and  an 
ordinance,  and  there  he  proved 
them. 

Manna. 

Exod.  xvi,  15, 19,  21,  31,  35.  And 
when  the  children  of  Israel  saw  it, 
they  said  one  to  another.  It  is 
manna:  for  they  wist  not  what  it 
was.  And  Moses  said  unto  them. 
This  is  the  bread  which  the  Lord 
hath  given  you  to  eat.  And  Moses 
said,  Let  no  man  leave  of  it  till 
the  morning.  And  they  gathered 
it  every  morning,  every  man  ac- 
cording to  his  eating;  and  when 
the  sun  waxed  liot,  it  melted.  And 
the  house  of  Israel  called  the  name 
thereof  Manna:  and  it  was  like 
coriander  seed,  white;  and  the 
taste  of  it  was  like  wafers  made 
with  honey.  And  the  children  of 
Israel  did  eat  manna  forty  years, 
until  they  came  to  a  land  inhabit- 
ed: they  did  eat  manna  until  they 
came  unto  the  borders  of  the  land 
of  Canaan. 

Joshua  V,  12.  And  the  manna 
ceased  on  the  morrow  after  they 
had  eaten  of  the  old  corn  of  the 
land ;  neither  had  the  children  of 
Israel  manna  any  more;  but  they 
did  eat  of  the  fruit  of  the  land  of 
Canaan  that  year. 

Deut  viii,  3, 16.  And  he  humbled 
tliee,  and  suffered  thee  to  hunger, 
and  fed  thee  with  manna,  which 
tliou  knewest  not,  neither  did  thy 
fathers  know;  that  he  might  make 
thee  know  that  man  doth  not  live 
by  bread  only,  but  by  every  word 
that  proceedeth  out  of  the  mouth 
of  the  Lord  doth  man  live.  Who 
fed  tliee  in  the  wilderness  with 
manna,  which  thy  fathers  knew 
not,  that  he  might  humble  thee, 
and  that  he  might  prove  thee, 
to  do  thee  good  at  thy  latter 
end. 

Neh.  ix,  20.  Thou  gavest  also 
thy  good  Spirit  to  instruct  them, 
and  withheldest  not  thy  manna 
from  their  mouth,  and  gavest 
them  water  for  their  thirst. 

John  vi,  49.  Your  fathers  did 
eat  manna  in  the  wilderness,  and 
are  dead. 

Quails. 

Exod.  xvl,  13.  And  It  came  to 
pass,  that  at  even  the  quails  came 
up,  and  covered  the  camp;  and  in 
tlie  morning  the  dew  lay  round 
about  the  host. 


Psalm  cv,  40.  Tfie  people  asked, 
RTid  he  brought  quails,  and  satis- 
fl(id  them  with  the  bread  of  hea- 
ven,

Water  from  the  Rock.  ' 
Exod.  xvii,  5,  7.  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  Moses,  Go  on  before  the 
people,  and  take  with  thee  of  the 
elders  of  Israel;  and  thy  rod, 
wherewith  thou  smotest  the  river, 
take  in  thine  hand,  and  go.  And 
he  called  the  name  of  the  place 
Massah,  and  Meribah,  because  of 
the  chiding  of  the  children  of  Is- 
rael, and  because  they  tempted 
the  Lord,  saying,  Is  the  Lobd 
among  us,  or  not? 

Aaron's  Eod  Budding. 
Num.  xviil,  1-9.  And  the  Lord 
spake  unto  Moses,  saying,  Speak 
unto  the  children  of  Israel,  and 
take  of  every  one  of  them  a  rod, 
according  to  the  house  of  their 
fathers,  of  all  their  princes,  accord- 
ing to  the  house  of  their  fathers, 
twelve  rods:  write  thou  every 
man's  name  upon  his  rod.  And 
thou  Shalt  write  Aaron's  name 
upon  the  rod  of  Levi :  for  one  rod 
shall  be  for  the  head  of  the  house 
of  their  fathers.  And  thou  shalt 
lay  them  up  in  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation  before  the  testi- 
mony, where  I  will  meet  with 
you.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
fAos^the  man's  rod  w..om  I  shall 
choose  shall  blossom:  and  I  will 
make  to  cease  Irum  me  the  mur- 
murings  of  the  children  of  Israel, 
whereby  they  murmur  against 
you.  And  Moses  spake  unto  the 
children  of  Israel,  and  every  one 
of  their  princes  gave  him  a  rod 
apiece,  for  eat  h  prince  one,  accord- 
ing to  their  fathers'  houses,  even 
twelve  rods:  and  the  rod  of  Aaron 
?0as  among  their  rods.  And  Moses 
laid  up  the  rods  before  the  Lord 
in  the  tabernacle  of  witness.  And 
it  came  to  pass,  that  on  the  mor- 
row Moses  went  into  the  taber- 
nacle of  witness;  and,  behold,  the 
rod  of  Aaron,  for  the  house  at 
Levi,  was  budded,  and  brought 
forth  buds,  and  bloomed  bJost^oins, 
and  yielded  almonds.  And  Moses 
brought  out  all  the  rods  froiii  be- 
fore the  Lord  unto  all  the  cliildri  n 
of  Israel:  and  they  looked,  and 
took  every  man  his  rod. 

The  Leprosy  of  Miriam. 
Num.  xii,  10.  And  the  cloud  de- 
parted from  off  the  tabernacle; 
and,  behold,  Miriam  became  lep- 
rous, white  as  snow:  and  Aaron 
looked  upon  Miriam,  and,  behold, 
she  was  leprous. 

Destruction  op  Kohah. 
Num.  xvi,  31-33.  And  it  came  to 
pass  as  he  had  made  an  end  of 
speaking  all  these  words,  that  the 
ground  clave  asunder  that  was

opened  her  mouth,  and  swallowed 
tliein  up,  and  their  houses,  and  all 
the  men  that  appertained  unto 


Korah,  and  all  their  goods.  They, 
and  all  tliut  appertained  to  them, 
went  down  alive  into  the  pit,  and 
the  earth  closed  upon  them:  and 
they  perislied  from  among  the 
congregation. 

Death  op  Nadab  and  Abihu. 

Lev.  X,  1,  2.  And  Nadab  and 
Abihu,  the  sons  of  Aaron,  took 
either  ot  them  his  censer,  and  put 
flre  therein,  and  put  incense 
theron,  and  offered  strange  fire 
before  the  I^oro,  which  he  com- 
manded them  not.  And  there 
went  out  firo  from  the  Lord,  and 
devoured  them;  and  they  died  be- 
fore the  Lord. 

Deut.  xl,  6, 7.  And  what  he  did

sons  of  Eliab,  tlie  son  of  R.  uben; 
liow  tlie  earth  opened  her  mouth, 
anl  swallowed  them  up  and  their 
households,  and  their  tents,  and 
all  the  substance  that  was  in  tlieir 
possession,  in  the  midst  of  all 
Israel.  But  your  eyes  have  seen 
all  the  great  acts  of  the  Lord 
which  he  did. 

Ps.  cvi,  17.  The  earth  opened 
and  swallowed  up  Dathan,  and 
covered  the  company  of  Abiram.

Num.  XX,  8-10.  Take  the  rod, 
and  gather  thou  the  assembly  to-

from  before  the  Lord,  as  he  com- 
manded him.  And  Moses  and 
Aaron  gatiiered  the  congregation 
togetlier  before  the  rock,  and  he 
said  unto  them.  Hear  now,  ye 
rebels;  must  we  fetch  you  water 
out  ot  this  rock?

Num.  xxi,  8.  And  tlie  Lord  said 
unto  Moses,  Make  thee  a  fiery 
Serpent,  and  set  it  upon  a  pole:

every  one  that  is  bitten,  when  he 
looketh  upon  it,  shall  live.

Num.  xvi,  46-50.  And  Moses  said

he  stood  between  the  dead  and 
the  living;  and  the  plague  was 
stayed.  Now  they  that  died  in  the 
plague  were  fourteen  thousand 
and  seven  hundred,  beside  them 
tliat  died  about  the  matter  of

tabernacle  of  the  congregation: 
and  the  plague  was  stayed. 

Fire. 

Lev.  Ix,  24.  And  there  came  a 
fire  out  from  before  the  Loru,  and 
consumed  upon  the  altar  the 
burnt-offering  and  the  fat:  which 
when  all  the  people  saw,  they 
shouted,  and  fell  on  their  faces. 

Num.  xl,  1,  2.  And  when  the 
people  complained,  it  displeased 
tlie  Lord:  and  the  Lord  heard  it; 
and  his  anger  was  kindled:  and 
the  fire  of  the  Lord  burnt  among 
them,  and  consumed  them  that 
were  in  the  uttermost  parts  of  the 
camp.  And  the  people  cried  unto 
Moses;  and  when  Moses  prayed 
unto  the  Lord,  the  fire  was 
quenched. 

Num.  xvl,  35.  And  there  came 
out  a  fire  from  the  Lord,  and  con-

EEFLECTI0N8  ON  THE  MiRACLES 

OF  MosES,  AND  References. 
Exod,  XV,  5,8, 10, 12.  The  depths 
have  covereil  them :  they  sank 
into  the  bottom  as  a  stone.  And 
with  the  blast  of  thy  nostrils  the 
waters  were  gathered  together, 
the  floods  stood  upright  as  an 
heap,  and  the  depths  were  con- 
gealed in  the  heart  of  the  sea. 
Thou  didst  blow  with  thy  wind, 
the  sea  covered  them:  they  sank 
as  lead  in  the  mighty  Avaters. 
Thou  stretchedst  out  thy  right 
hand,  the  earth  swallowed  them. 

Deut.  xi,  4.  And  what  he  did 
unto  the  army  of  Egypt,  unto 
their  horses,  and  to  their  chariots; 
how  he  made  ihe  water  of  the 
Red  Sea  to  overflow  them  as  they 
pursued  after  you,  and  how  tlie 
Lord  hath  destroyed  them  unto 
this  day, 

Joshua  xxiv,  7.  And  when  they 
cried  unto  the  Lord,  he  put  dark- 
ness between  you  and  the  Egyp- 
tians, and  brought  the  sea  upon 
them,  and  covered  them;  and  your 
eyes  have  seen  what  I  have  done 
in  Egypt:  and  ye  dwelt  in  the 
wilderness  a  long  season. 

Ps.  Ixvi,  6.  He  turned  the  sea 
into  dry  land:  they  went  through 
the  flood  on  foot;  there  did  we  re- 
joice in  him. 

Ps.  Ixviii  22  The  Lord  said,  1 
487 


will  bring  again  from  Bashan;  I 
will  bring  viy  people  again  from 
the  depths  of  tlie  sea. 

Ps.  Ixxvili,  13, 15,  16,  44,  47,  51, 

53.  He  divided  the  sea,  and  caused 
them  to  pass  through;  and  he 
made  the  waters  to  stand  as  an 
heap,  lie  clave  the  rocks  in  the 
wildernesss,  and  gave  them  drink 
as  out  of  the  great  depths.  He 
brought  streams  also  out  of  the 
rock,  and  caused  waters  to  run 
down  like  rivers.  And  had  turned 
their  rivers  into  blood,  and  their 
floods,  tliat  they  could  not  drink. 
He  destroyed  their  vines  with 
hail,  and  their  sycamore-trees 
with  frost.  And  smote  all  the 
first-born  in  Egypt;  the  chief  of 
their  strength  in  the  tabernacles 
of  Ham:  And  he  led  them  on 
Kafely,  so  that  they  feared  not; 
but  the  sea  overwhelmed  theuf 
enemies. 

Ps.  cv,  27-29,  32,33, 35,  36.  They 
shewed  his  signs  among  them, 
and  wonders  in  the  land  of  Ham. 
He  sent  darkness,  and  made  it 
dark  ;  and  tliey  rebelled  not 
against  his  word.  He  turned 
their  waters  into  blood,  and  slew 
their  fish.  He  gave  them  hail  f  r 
rain,  and  flaming  fire  in  their 
laml.  He  smote  their  vines  also 
and  their  fig-trees,  "and  brake  the 
trees  of  their  coasts.  And  did 
eat  up  all  the  herbs  in  their  land, 
and  devoured  the  fruit  of  their 
ground.  He  smote  also  all  the 
first-born  in  their  land,  the  chief 
of  all  their  strength. 

Ps.  cvi,  9,  11.  He  rebuked  the 
Red  sea  also,  and  it  was  dried  up: 
so  he  led  them  through  the 
depths,  as  through  the  wilderness. 
And  the  wati  rs  covered  their 
enemies;  there  was  not  one  of 
them  left. 

Ps.  cxiv,  8.  Which  turned  the 
rock  into  a  standing  water,  the 
flint  into  a  fountain  of  waters, 

Ps.  cxxxvi,  13-16.  To  him  which 
divided  the  Red  sea  into  parts: 
for  his  mercy  endureth  for  ever: 
And  made  Israel  to  pass  through 
the  midst  of  it:  for  his  mercy  en- 
dureth  for  ever:  But  overthrew 
riiaraoh  and  his  host  in  the  lied 
sea:  for  his  mercy  endureth  for 
ever.  To  him'  whicli  led  his 
people  through  the  wilderness:  for 
his  mercy  endureth  for  ever. 

Isa.  xi,  15.  And  the  Lord  <]v,iU 
utterly  destroy  the  tongue  i.t  the 
Egyptian  sea;  and  with  his  mighty 
wind  sliall  he  shake  his  hand  over 
the  river,  and  shall  smite  it  in  the 
seven  streams,  and  make  men  go 
over  dryshod. 

Jsa.  xliii,  16.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  wliich  maketh  a  way  in  the 
sea,  and  a  path  in  the  mighty 
waters. 

Isa.  xlviii,  21.  And  they  thirsted

not  when  he  led  them  through 
the  deserts:  he  caused  the  waters 
to  flow  out  of  the  rock  for  them; 
he  clave  the  rock  also,  and  the 
waters  gushed  out. 

Isa.  li,  10.  Art  thou  not  it  which 
hath  dried  the  sea,  the  waters  of 
the  great  deep;  that  hath  made 
the  depths  of  the  sea  a  way  tor 
the  ransomed  to  pass  over? 

Isa.  lxiii,12.  That  led  them  by 
the  right  liand  of  Moses  with  his 
glorious  arm,  dividing  the  water 
before  them  to  make  himself  an 
everlasting  name? 

Sev.  xvt,  12.  And  the  sixth 
angel  poured  out  his  vial  upon 
the  great  river  Euphrates;  and 
the  water  thereof  was  dried  up, 
that  the  way  of  the  kings  of  the 
east  might  be  prepared.

JOSHUA. 

JOEDAN   DIVIDED. 

Joshua  ill,  14-17.  And  it  came 
to  pass,  when  the  people  removed 
from  their  tents,  to  pass  over  Jor- 
dan, and  the  priests  bearing  the 
ark  of  the  covenant  before  the 
people;  And  as  they  that  bare 
the  ark  were  come  unto  Jordan, 
and  the  feet  of  the  priests  that 
bare  the  ark  were  dipped  in  the 
brim  of  the  water,  (for  Jordan 
overfloweth  all  his  banks  all  the 
time  of  harvest,)  That  the 
waters,  which  came  down  from 
above,  stood,  and  rose  up  upon 
an  heap,  very  far  from  the  city 
Adam,  that  is  beside  Zaretan:  and 
those  that  came  down  toward  the 
sea  of  the  plain,  even  the  salt  sea, 
failed,  and  were  cut  off;  and  the 
people  passed  over  rij^ht  against 
Jericho.  And  the  priests,  that 
bare  the  ark  of  the  covenant  ol 
the  Lord,  stood  firm  on  dry 
ground  in  the  midst  of  Jordan, 
and  all  the  Israelites  passed  over 
on  dry  ground,  until  all  the  people 
were  passed  clean  over  Jordan. 

Josfiua  Iv,  16-18.  Command  the 
priests  that  bear  the  ark  of  the 
testimony,  that  they  come  up  out 
of  Jordan.  Joshua  therefore 
commanded  the  priests,  saying. 
Come  ye  up  out  of  Jordan.  And 
it  came  to  pass,  when  the  priests 
that  bare  the  ark  of  the  covenant 
of  the  Lord  were  come  up  out  of 
the  midst  of  Jordan,  aiid  the  soles 
of  the  priests'  feet  were  lifted  up 
unto  the  dry  land,  that  the  waters 
of  Jordan  returned  unto  their 
place,  and  flowed  over  all  his 
banks,  as  thej/  did  before. 


Ps.  c.xlv,  1-6.  When  Israel  went 
out  of  Egypt,  the  house  of  Jacob 
from  a  peoi)le  of  strange  language; 
J  udah was  h  Is  sanctuary  ,07id  I  sr.iel 
bis  duuihiioQ.   The  sea  saw  it,  and 


fled;  Jordan  was  driven  back. 
The  mountains  skipped  like  rams, 
and  the  little  hills  like  lambs. 
What  ailed  thee,  O  thou  sea,  that 
thou  fleddest?  thou  Jord;in  that 
thou  wast  driven  bick?  Ye 
mountains,  that  ye  skipped  like 
rams:  and  ye  little  hills,  like 
iambs? 

Capture  of  Jeeicho. 
Joshua  vi,  20.  So  the  people 
shouted  when  the  priests  blew 
with  the  trumpets:  and  it  came  to 
pass,  v/hen  the  people  heard  the 
sound  of  the  trumpet,  and  the 
people  sliouted  with  a  great  shout, 
that  the  wall  fell  down  flat,  so 
that  the  people  went  up  into  the 
city,  every  man  straight  before 
him,  and  they  took  the  city. 

Sun  and  Moon  Stayed. 
Josh.  X,  13, 14.  And  the  sim  stood 
still,  and  the  moon  stayed,  until 
the  people  had  avenged  them- 
selves upon  their  enemies.  Js 
not  this  written  in  the  book  of 
Jasher?  So  the  sun  stood  still  in 
the  midst  of  heaven,  and  hasted 
not  to  go  down  about  a  whole 
day.  And  there  was  no  day  like 
that  before  it,  or  after  it,  that  the 
LoBi)  hearkened  unto  the  voice  of 
a  man:  for  the  Lord  fought  for 
Israel. 

Storm. 
Josh.  X.  11,  And  it  came  to  pass, 
as  they  fled  from  before  Israel, 
and  were  in  tho  going  down  to 
Beth-horon,  that  the  Lord  cast 
down  great  stones  from  heaven 
upon  them  unto  Azekah,  and 
they  died:  they  were  more 
which  died  with  hailstones  than 
they  whom  the  children  of  Israel 
slew  with  the  sword. 

SUPERNATURAL   STRENGTH 

IN  CONNECTION  WITH 

SAMSON, 

A  LION  KILLED. 

Judges  xiv,  6.  And  the  Spirit 
of  the  LoED  came  miy hilly  upon 
him,  and  he  rent  him  as  he  would 
have  rent  a  kid,  and  he  had  noth- 
ing in  his  hand:  but  he  told  not 
his  father  or  his  mother  what  he 
had  done. 

Slaughter  of  the  Philistines. 
Judges  xiv,  19.  And  the  Spirit 
of  tho  Lord  came  upon  him,  and 
he  went  down  to  Ashkelon,  and 
slew  thirty  men  of  them,  and  took 
their  spoil,  and  gave  change  of 
garments  unto  them  which  e.\- 
pounded  the  riddle:  and  his  anger 
was  kindled,  and  he  went  up  to 
his  father's  house. 

Jxidgea  xv,   7,  16.     And  Sam- 
son  Slid  unto  them,  Though  ye 
)  have  done  this,    yet  will    I   be 


avenged  of  yon,  and  after  that  I 
will  cease.  And  he  found  a  new 
jaw-bone  of  an  ass,  and  put  forth 
his  hand  and  took  it,  and  slew  a 
thousand  men  therewith. 

Personal  Strength. 

Judges  xv,  11-14.  Then  tliree 
thousand  men  of  Jndah  went  to 
the  top  of  the  rock  Etam,  and 
said  to  Samson.  Knoweat  thou 
not  that  the  Philistines  are  rulers 
over  us?  what  is  this  that  thou 
hast  done  unto  us?  And  he  snid 
unto  them.  As  they  did  unto  nio, 
so  have  I  done  unto  them.  And 
they  said  unto  him,  We  are  come 
down  to  bind  thee,  that  we  n)ay 
deliver  thee  into  the  hand  of  the 
Philistines.  And  Samson  said 
unto  them.  Swear  unto  me,  that 
ye  will  not  fall  updn  me  yoir- 
selves.  And  they  spake  unto 
him,  saying.  No;  but  we  will  bind 
thee  fast,  and  deliver  thefi  into 
their  hand;  but  surely  we  vl  I  not 
kill  thee.  And  they  bound  hi  in 
with  two  new  cords,  and  brousrht 
him  up  from  the  rock.  And  when 
he  came  unto  Lehi,  the  Piiilistines 
shouted  against  him;  an  1  the 
Spii  it  of  the  Lord  c;ime  mightily 
upon  him;  and  the  cords  that  icere 
upon  his  arms  became  as  flax  that 
was  burnt  with  fire,  and  his  bands 
loosed  from  off  his  hands. 

Judges  xvi,  6-14.  And  Delilah 
said  to  Samson,  Tell  me,  I  pray 
thee,  wherein  thy  great  strength 
i/eW,  and  wherewitli  thou  might- 
est  be  bound  to  afflict  thee.  And 
Samson  said  unto  her.  If  they 
bind  me  with  seven  green  withs 
that  were  never  dried,  then  shall 
I  be  weak,  and  be  as  another 
man.  Then  the  lords  of  the  Phil- 
istines brought  up  to  her  seven 
green  withs  which  had  not  been 
dried,  and  she  bound  him  with 
them.  (Now  there  icere  men  lying 
in  wait,  abiding  with  her  in  the 
chamber.)  And  she  said  unto 
him,  The  Philistines  6eupon  thee, 
Samson.  And  lie  brake  the  withs, 
as  a  thread  of  tow  is  broken  when 
it  toucheth  the  fire:  so  his 
strength  was  not  known.  And 
Delilah  said  unto  Samson,  Behold, 
thou  hast  mocked  me,  and  told 
me  lies:  now  tell  me,  I  pray  thee, 
wherewith  thou  migbtest  be 
bound.  And  he  said  unto  her.  If 
they  bind  me  fast  with  new  ropes, 
that  never  were  occupied,  then 
shall  I  be  weak,  and  be  as  another 
ma,n.  Delilah  therefore  took  new 
ropes,  and  bound  him  therewith, 
and  bald  unto  him  ThePhilistii.es 
be  upon  thee,  Samson.  And  there 
were  liers  in  wait,  abiding  in  the 
chamber.  And  he  brake  thera 
from  off  his  arms  like  a  thread. 
And  Delilah  said  unto  Samson, 
Hitherto  thou  hast  mocked  me, 
and  told  me  lies:  tell  mo  where- 
with thou  mightest  bo  bound. 
And  he  said  unto  her.   If  thou

head  with  the  web.  And  she 
fastened  it  with  the  pin,  and  said 
unto  him,  The  Pliiilstines  be  upon 
thee,  Samson.  And  he  awalced 
out  of  his  sleep,  and  went  away 
with  tlie  pin  of  the  beam,  and 
with  the  web. 

Cakbyikg  the  Gates  of  Gaza. 
Jtidges  xvi,  1-3.  Then  went 
Samson  to  Gaza,  and  saw  there  an 
harlot,  and  went  in  unto  her.  And 
it  teas  told  the  Gazites,  saying, 
Samson  iscomeliither.  And  they 
compassed  him  in,  and  laid  wait 
for  him  all  night  in  the  gate  of  tlie 
city,  and  were  quiet  all  the  niglit, 
saying.  In  the  morning,  when  it 
is  day,  we  shall  kill  liim.  And 
Samson  lay  till  midnight,  and 
arose  at  midnight  and  toolc  tlie 
doors  of  the  gate  of  the  city,  and 
tlie  two  posts,  and  went  away 
with  tliem,  bar  and  all,  and  put 
them  upon  his  slioulders,  and 
carried  them  up  to  the  top  of  an 
Lill,  that  is  before  Hebron. 

Desteuctioh  of  Daoon's 
Temple. 
Judges  xvi,  29,  30.  And  Samson 
took  Ijold  of  tlie  two  middle  pil- 
lars upon  wliich  the  house  stood, 
and  on  wliich  it  was  borne  up,  of 
the  one  with  his  right  hand,  and 
of  the  other  with  his  left.  And 
Samson  said,  Let  me  die  with  the 
Pliilistines.  And  he  boved  him- 
self with  all  liis  might;  and  the 
house  fell  upon  the  lords,  and 
upon  all  the  people  that  ivere 
therein:  so  the  dead  which  he 
slew  at  his  death  were  more  than 
they  which  he  slew  in  his  life.

1  Sam.  V,  4.  And  when  they 
arose  early  on  the  morrow  morn- 
ing, beliold,  Dagon  was  fallen 
upon  his  face  to  the  ground  before 
the  ark  of  tlie  Lobu;  and  the  head 
of  Dagon  and  both  the  palms  of 
his  hands  were  cut  off  upon  the 
threshold;  only  the  stump  of 
Dagon  was  left  to  him.

that,  after  they  had  carried  it 
ab  ut,  the  hand  of  the  Lobo  was 
against  the  city  with  a  very  great 
destruction:  and  he  smote  the 
men  of  tho  city,  both  small  and 


great,  and  they  had  emerods  In 
their  secret  parts.  Therefore 
they  sent  the  ark  of  God  to 
Ekron.  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
the  ark  of  God  came  to  Ekron, 
that  the  Ekronites  cried  out,  say- 
ing. They  have  brought  about 
the  ark  of  the  God  of  Israel  to  us, 
to  slay  us  and  our  people.  So

throughout  all  the  city,  the  hand 
of  God  was  very  heavy  there.

hold,  I  pray  thee,  the  situation  of 
this  city  is  pleasant,  as  my  lord 
seeth:  but  the  water  is  naught, 
and  the  ground  barren.  And  he 
said,  Bring  me  a  new  cruse,  and 
put  salt  therein:  and  they  brought 
it  to  him.  And  he  went  forth 
unto  the  spring  of  the  waters,  and 
cast  the  salt  in  there,  and  said. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord,  I  have 
healed  these  waters;  there  shall 
not  be  from  thence  any  more

knowest  that  thy  servant  did  fear 
the  Lord:  and  the  creditor  is 
come  to  take  unto  him  my  two 
sons  to  be  bond-men.  And  Elisha 
said  unto  her,  What  shall  I  do  lor 
thee?  tell  me,  what  hast  thou  in 
the  house?  And  she  said,  Thine 
handmaid  hath  not  any  thing  in 
the  house,  save  a  pot  of  oil.  Tlien 
he  said.  Go,  borrow  thee  vessels 
abroad  of  all  thy  neighbours,  even 
empty  vessels;  borrow  not  a  few. 
And  when  thou  art  come  in,  thou 
Shalt  shut  the  door  upon  thee  and 
upon  thy  sons,  and  shall  pour  out 
into  all  those  vessels,  and  thou 
Shalt  set  aside  that  which  is  full. 
So  she  went  from  him,  and  sliut 
the  door  upon  her  and  upon  her 
sons,  who  brought  the  vessels  to 
her;  and  she  poured  out.  And  it 
came  to  pass,  when  the  vessels 
were  full,  that  she  said  unto  her 
son,  Bring  me  yet  a  vessel.  And

vessel  more.    And  the  oil  stayed.

servant,  Set  on  the  great  pot,  and 
seethe  pottage  for  the  son.s  of  the 
prophets.  And  one  went  out 
into  the  field  to  gather  herbs,  and 
found  a  wild  vino,  and  gathered 
thtreof  wild  gourds  his  lap-full, 
and  came  and  shred  them  into 
the  pot  of  pottage:  for  they  knew 
them  not.  So  they  poured  out 
for  the  men  to  eat:  and  it  came  to

could  not  eat  thereof.  But  he 
said.  Then  bring  meal:  and  ho 
cast  it  into  the  pot;  and  he  said. 
Pour  out  for  the  people,  that  they 
may  eat.  And  there  was  no  harm 
in  the  pot.  And  there  came  a 
man  from  Baal-shalisha,  and 
brought  the  man  of  God  bread  ot 
the  first-fruits,  twenty  loaves  oi 
bailey,  and  full  ears  of  corn  in  the 
husk  thereof.  And  he  said.  Give 
unto  the  people,  that  they  may 
eat.  And  his  servitor  said. 
What!  should  I  set  this  before  an 
hundred  men?  He  said  again. 
Give  the  people,  that  they  may 
eat:  for  thus  saith  the  Lord,  They 
shall  eat,  and  shall  leave  thereof. 
So  he  set  it  before  them,  and  they 
did  eat,  and  left  thereof,  according 
to  the  word  of  the  Lord.

them  twain,  and  prayed  unto  the 
Lord.  And  he  went  up,  and  lay 
upon  the  child,  and  put  his  mputh 
upon  his  mouth,  and  his  eyes  upon 
his  eyes,  and  his  hands  upon  his 
hands;  and  he  stretched  himself 
upon  the  child,  and  the  flesh  of 
the  child  waxed  warm.  Then  he 
returned,  and  walked  in  the  house

kings  of  the  Hittites,  and  the  kings

MIRACLES  OF  CHRIST. 

1— UPON    EXTERNAL 
NATURE. 

water  tubned  into  wine. 
John  11, 1-11.  And  the  third  day 
there  was  a  marriage  in  Cana  of 
Galilee;  and  the  motlier  of  Jesus 
was  there:  And  both  Jesus  was 
called,  and  his  disciples  to  the 
marriage.  And  when  tliey  wanted 
wine,  tJie  mother  of  Jesus  siith 
unto  him,  They  have  no  wine. 
Jesus  saith  unto  her,  "Woman, 
what  have  I  to  do  with  thee? 
mine  hour  is  not  yet  come.  His 
mother  saith  unto  the  servants. 


Whatsoever  he  saith  unto  you-,  do 
it.  And  there  were  set  there  six 
waterpots  of  stone,  after  the  man- 
ner of  the  purifying  of  the  Jews, 
containing  two  or  three  flrkius 
apiece.  Jesus  saith  unto  them. 
Fill  the  waterpots  with  water. 
And  they  filled  them  up  to  the 
brim.  And  he  saith  unto  them. 
Draw  out  now,  and  bear  unto  the 
governor  of  the  feast.  And  they 
bare  it.  When  the  ruler  of  the 
feast  had  tasted  the  water  that 
was  made  wine,  and  knew  not 
whence  it  was,  (but  the  servants 
which  drew  the  water  knew,)  the 
governor  of  the  feast  called  the 
bridegroom,  And  saith  unto  him, 
Every  man  at  the  beginning  doth 
set  forth  good  wine;  and  when 
men  have  well  drunk,  then  that 
which  is  worse:  but  thou  hast  kept 
the  good  wine  until  now.  This 
beginning  of  miracles  did  Jesus 
in  Cana  of  Galilee,  and  manifested 
forth  his  glory;  and  his  disciples 
believed  on  him. 

Draught  of  Fishes. 
Luke  V,  1-7.  And  it  cam^  to 
pass,  that,  as  the  people  pressed 
upon  him  to  hear  the  word  of 
God,  he  stood  by  the  lake  of  Gen- 
nesaret,  And  saw  two  ships 
standing  by  the  lake:  but  the 
fishermen  were  gone  out  of  them, 
and  were  washing  their  nets.  And 
he  entered  into  one  of  the  ships, 
which  was  Simon's,  and  prayed 
him  that  he  would  thrust  out  a 
little  from  the  land.  And  he  sat 
down,  and  taught  the  people  out 
of  the  ship.  Now  when  he  had 
left  speaking,  he  said  unto  Simon, 
Launch  out  into  the  deep,  and  let 
dovvn  your  nets  for  a  draught. 
And  Simon  answering  said  unto 
him.  Master,  we  have  tolled  all 
tiie  night,  and  have  taken  no- 
thing: nevertheless  at  thy  word  I 
will  let  down  the  net.  And  vvlien 
they  had  this  done,  they  inclosed 
a  great  multitude  of  fishes:  and 
their  net  brake.  And  they  bec- 
koned unto  their  partners,  wldch 
were  in  the  other  ship,  that  they 
should  come  and  help  them.  And 
they  came,  and  filled  both  the 
ships,  80  that  they  began  to  sink. 

Tempest  Calmed. 
Mark  iv,  35-41.  And  the  same 
day,  when  the  even  was  come,  he 
saith  unto  them,  Let  us  pass  over 
unto  the  other  side.  And  when 
they  had  sent  away  the  multitude, 
they  took  him  even  as  he  was  in 
the  ship.  And  there  were  also 
with  him  other  little  ships.  And 
there  arose  a  great  storm  of  wind, 
and  the  waves  beat  into  the  ship, 
so  that  it  was  now  full.  And  he 
was  in  the  hinder  part  of  the  ship, 
asleep  on  a  pillow:  and  they  awake 
him,  and  say  unto  him.  Master, 
carest  thou  not  that  we  peri.^^lj? 
And  be  arose,  and  rebuked  the 
481 


wind,  and  said  unto  the  sea.  Peace, 
be  slill.  And  the  wind  ceased, 
and  tliere  was  a  great  calm.  And 
he  said  unto  them.  Why  are  ye  so 
fearful  ?  how  is  it  that  ye  have  no 
faitli?  And  tliey  feared  exceed- 
in.'ly,  and  said  one  to  another, 
Wliat  manner  of  man  is  this,  that 
even  the  wind  and  the  sea  obey 
him. 

Five  Thousand  Fed. 
Luke  ix,  12-17.  And  when  the 
day  began  to  wear  aw;iy,  then 
came  the  twelve,  and  said  unto 
him.  Send  the  multitiie  away,  that 
they  may  go  into  the  towns  and 
country  round  about,  and  lodge, 
and  get  victuals :  for  we  are  here 
in  a  desert  place.  But  he  said 
unto  them,  Give  ye  them  to  eat. 
And  they  said.  We  have  no  more 
but  five  loaves  and  two  fishes;  ex- 
cept we  should  go  and  buy  meal 
for  all  this  people.  (For  they  were 
about  five  thousand  men.)  And 
he  said  to  his  disciples,  Make  them 
sit  down  by  fifties  in  a  company. 
And  they  did  so,  and  made  them 
all  sit  down.  Then  he  took  the 
five  loaves  and  the  two  fi:<hes,  and 
looking  up  to  heaven,  he  blessed 
them,  and  brake,  and  gave  to  the 
di.-ciples  to  set  before  the  multi- 
tude. And  they  did  eat,  and  were 
all  filled :  and  there  was  taken  up 
of  fragments  that  remained  to 
them  twelve  baskets, 

Christ  Walking  on  the  Sea. 

Matth.  xiv,  26-32.  And  when  the 
disciples  saw  him  walking  on  the 
sea,  they  were  troubled,  saying.  It 
is  a  spirit:  and  they  cried  out  for 
fear.  But  straightway  Jesus  spake 
unto  them,  saying.  Be  of  good 
cheer:  it  is  I;  be  not  afraid.  And 
Peter  answered  him  and  said. 
Lord,  if  it  be  thou,  bid  me  come 
unto  tliee  on  the  water.  And  he 
said,  Come.  And  when  Peter  was 
come  down  out  of  the  ship,  he 
walked  on  the  water,  to  go  to 
Jesus.  But  when  he  saw  the  wind 
boisterous,  he  was  afraid ;  and, 
beginning  to  sink,  he  cried,  say- 
ing, Lord,  save  me !  And  imme- 
diately Je.sus  stretched  forth  his 
hand,  and  caught  him,  and  said 
unto  him,  O  thoU  of  litlle  faith, 
wherefore  didst  thou  doubt  ?  And 
whtn  they  were  come  hito  the 
ship,  the  wind  ceased. 

Four  Thousand  Fed, 
Matthew  xv,  32-39.  Tlien  Jesus 
called  his  disciples  unto  him,  and 
said,  I  have  compassion  on  the 
multitude,  because  they  continue 
with  me  now  three  days,  and  have 
nothing  to  eat;  and  I  will  not  send 
them  away  fasting,  lest  they  faint 
in  the  way.  And  his  disciples  say 
unto  him.  Whence  hhould  we  have 
so  mucli  bread  in  the  wilderness 
as  to  fill  so  great  a  multitude? 


MIRACLES. 


And  Jesns  salfh  unto  them,  How 
many  loaves  have  ye  ?  And  they 
eaul,  Seven,  and  a  tew  little  flsties. 
And  he  cuninmnded  the  multitude 
to  sit  down  ou  the  ground.  And 
be  took  the  seven  loaves  and  the 
fishes,  and  gave  thanks,  and  brake 
them,  and  gave  to  his  disciples, 
and  tlu!  disciples  to  the  multitude. 
And  they  did  all  eat,  and  were 
filled:  and  they  took  up  of  the 
broken  meat  tliat  was  left  seven 
baskets  full.  And  they  that  did 
eat  were  four  thousand  men,  be- 
sides women  and  cliildren.  And 
he  sent  away  the  multitude,  and 
took  ship,  and  came  into  the  coasts 
of  Magdala. 

Fish  with  thk  Money  in  its 
Mouth, 

Matt.  xvii.  27  Notwithstanding, 
lest  we  should  offend  them,  go 
thou  to  the  sea,  and  cast  an  hook, 
and  take  up  the  fish  that  first 
Cometh  up ;  and  when  thou  hast 
opened  his  mouth,  thou  shalt  find 
a  piece  of  money:  that  take,  and 
give  unto  them  for  me  and  thee. 

Fig-Tree  Blasted. 
Matth.  xxi,  19-21,  And  when  he 
saw  a  fis?-treo  in  the  way,  he  came 
to  it,  and  found  nothing  thereon, 
but  leaves  only,  and  said  unto  it, 
Let  no  fruit  grow  on  thee  lience- 
forward  for  ever.  And  presently 
the  fig-tiee  withered  away.  And 
wlien  the  disciples  saw  it,  they 
marvelled,  saying.  How  soon  is 
the  fig-tree  withered  away!  Jesus 
answered  and  said  unto  them, 
Verily  i  say  unto  you.  If  ye  have 
faith,  and  doubt  not,  ye  shall  not 
only  do  this  which  is  done  to  the 
fig-tree,  but  also  if  ye  shall  say 
unto  this  mountain.  Be  thou  re- 
moved, and  be  thou  cabt  into  the 
sea;  it  shall  be  done. 

Draught  op  Fishes. 
John  xxi,6  6, 10, 11.  Then  Jesus 
saith  unto  them,  Children,  have  ye 
any  meat?  Tliey  answered  him,  No, 
And  he  said  unto  them.  Cast  the 
net  on  the  riglit  side  of  the  ship, 
and  ye  shall  find.  They  cast 
therefore,  and  now  they  were  not 
able  to  draw  it  for  tlie  multitude 
of  fishes.  Jesus  saith  unto  them. 
Bring  of  the  fish  which  ye  have 
now  caught.  Simon  Peter  went  up, 
and  drew  the  net  to  land  full  of 
great  fishes,  an  hundred  and  fifty 
and  three:  and  for  all  there  were 
80  many,  yet  was  not  the  net 
broken. 

2nd.— THE  HEALING  OP 

DISEASES. 

THE  nobleman's  SON, 

John  iv,  46-54,  ,  .  .  And  there 
was  a  certain  n()blem;tn,  whose 
son  was  sick  at  Capernaum.  Wlien 
he  heard  that  Jesus  was  come  out 


of  Judea  into  Galilee,  he  went  un- 
to him,  and  besought  him  that 
he  would  come  down  and  heal 
his  son:  for  he  was  at  the  point  of 
death.  Then  said  Jesus  unto  him, 
Except  ye  see  signs  and  wonders, 
ye  will  not  believe.  The  noble- 
man saith  unto  him,  Sir,  come 
down  ere  my  child  die,  Jesus 
saith  unto  him.  Go  thy  way;  tliy 
son  liveth.  And  the  man  believed 
the  word  that  Jesus  had  spoken 
unto  him,  and  he  went  his  way. 
And  as  he  was  noAV  going  down, 
his  servants  met  him,  and  told 
him,  saying.  Thy  son  liveth.  Tlien 
enquired  he  of  them  the  hour 
when  he  began  to  amend.  And 
they  said  unto  him,  Yesterday 
at  the  seventh  hour  the  fever  left 
him.  So  the  father  knew  that  it 
was  at  the  same  hour  in  the  which 
Jesus  said  unto  him,  Thy  son  liv- 
eth; and  himself  believed,  and  liis 
whole  house.  This  is  again  the 
second  miracle  that  Jesus  did, 
when  he  was  come  out  of  Judea 
into  Galilee. 

^Peter's  Mothek-in-Law. 
Mark  i,  30,  31.  But  Simon's 
wife's  mother  lay  sick  of  a  fever; 
and  anon  they  tell  him  of  her. 
And  he  came  and  took  her  by  the 
hand,  and  lifted  her  up;  and  im- 
mediately the  fever  left  her,  and 
she  ministered  unto  them. 

Lepeb. 
Markl,  40-44.  And  there  came 
a  leper  to  him,  beseeching  him, 
and  kneeling  down  to  him,  and 
saying  unto  him,  If  thou  wilt, 
thou  canst  make  me  clean.  And 
Jesus,  moved  with  compassion, 
put  forth  Ms  hand,  and  touched 
him,  and  saith  unto  him,  I  will;  be 
tliou  clean.  And  as  soon  as  he 
had  spoken,  immediately  the 
leprosy  departed  from  him,  and 
he  was  cleansed.  And  he  straitly 
charged  him,  and  forthwith  sent 
liim  away;  And  saith  unto  him, 
See  thou  say  nothing  to  any  man: 
but  go  thy  way,  shew  thyself  to 
the  priest,  and  ofifer  for  thy  cleans- 
ing those  things  which  Moses 
commanded,  for  a  testimony  unto 
them. 

CENTtmiON's  Servant.. 
Luke  vii,  1-10.  Now,  when  he 
had  ended  all  his  sayings  in  the 
audience  of  the  people,  he  entered 
into  Capernaum,  And  a  certain 
centurion's  servant,  who  was  dear 
unto  him,  was  sick,  and  ready  to 
die.  And  when  he  heard  of 
Jesus,  he  sent  unto  him  the  elders 
of  the  Jews,  beseeching  him  that 
he  would  come  and  heal  his  ser- 
vant. And  when  tliey  came  to 
Jesus,  they  besought  him  instant- 
ly, saying,  Tliat  he  was  worthy 
for  whom  he  should  do  this:  For 
he  loveth  our  nation,  and  he  hath 


built  U8  a  synagogue.  Then  Jesus 
went  with  them.  And  when  he 
was  now  not  far  from  the  house, 
the  centurion  sent  Irieuds  to  him, 
saying  unto  him,  Lord,  (rouble 
not  thyself;  for  I  am  not  worlhy 
that  thou  shouldest  enter  under 
my  roof:  Wherefore  neither 
thought  I  myself  worlhy  to  coine 
unto  thee:  but  say  in  a  word,  and 
my  servant  shall  be  he-ded.  For 
I  also  am  a  man  set  under  nuthor- 
ity,  having  under  me  soldiers,  and 
I  say  unto  one,  Go,  and  he  goeth; 
and  to  another,  Come,  and  he 
Cometh;  and  to  my  servant.  Do 
this,  and  he  doeth  it.  When 
Jesus  heard  these  things,  ho 
marvelled  at  him,  and  turned 
him  about,  and  said  unto  the 
people  that  followed  him,  I  say 
unto  you,  I  have  not  found  so 
great  faith,  no,  not  in  Ism  el.  And 
tliey  that  were  sent,  returning  to 
the  house,  found  the  servant 
whole  that  had  been  sick. 

Man  Sick  of  the  Palsy. 
Luke  V,  18  25.  And,  behold, 
men  brought  in  a  bed  a  man 
which  was  taken  with  a  pa!sy: 
and  they  sought  means  to  biing 
him  in,  and  to  lay  him  before  him. 
And  when  they  could  not  find  by 
what  way  they  might  bring  him 
in  because  of  the  multitude,  tliey 
went  upon  the  housetop,  and  let 
him  down  through  the  tiling 
with  his  couch  into  the  midst  be- 
fore Jesus,  And  when  he  saw 
their  faith,  he  said  unto  him,  Man, 
thy  sins  are  forgiven  thee.  And 
the  scribes  and  the  Pharisees  be- 
gan to  reason,  saying.  Who  is 
this  which  speaketh  blasphemies? 
Who  can  forgive  sins,  but  God 
alone?  But  when  Jesus  perceived 
their  thoughts,  he  answering  said 
unto  them,  Wliat  reason  ye  in 
your  hearts?  Whether  is  easier 
to  say,  Thy  sins  be  forgiven  thee; 
or  to  say.  Rise  up  and  walk?  But 
that  ye  may  know  that  the  Son 
of  man  hath  power  upon  earth  to 
forgive  sins,  (he  said  unto  the  siclc 
of  the  palsy,)  I  say  unto  thee. 
Arise,  and  take  up  thy  couch,  and 
go  unto  thine  house.  And  im- 
mediately he  rose  up  before  them 
and  took  up  that  w  hereon  he  lay, 
and  departed  to  his  own  house, 
glorifying  God. 

Woman  with  the  Issub  o» 

Blood. 
Luke  vlll,  43-48.  And  a  woman* 
having  an  issue  of  blood  twelve 
years,  which  had  spent  all  her 
living  upon  physicians,  neither 
could  be  healed  of  any.  Cam© 
behind  him,  and  touched  the  bor- 
der of  his  garment:  and  Immedl- 
iately  her  issue  of  blood  stanched. 
And  Jesus  said.  Who  touched  me? 
When  all  denied,  Peter  and  they, 
that  were  with  him  said,  Master 


MIRACLES. 


the  nmltlttide  throng  thee  and 
press  thee,  and  sayest  thou,  "Who 
touched  me?  And  Jesus  said, 
Some.hody  hath  touched  me:  for  I 
perceive  that  virtue  is  gone  out 
of  me.  And  when  the  woman 
Baw  that  she  was  not  hid,  she 
came  trembling,  and,  falling  down 
hetbre  him,  she  declared  unto  him 
before  all  the  people  for  what 
cause  she  had  touched  him,  and 
how  she  was  healed  immediately. 
And  he  said  unto  her.  Daughter, 
be  of  good  comfort:  thy  faith  hath 
made  thee  whole;  go  in  peace . 

The  Lamb  Man  at  Bethesda. 

John  V,  1-15.  After  this  there 
was  a  feast  of  the  JjBWs;  and  Jesus 
went  up  to  Jerusalem.  Now  there 
is  at  Jerusalem,  by  the  sheep- 
rnarket,  a  pool,  which  is  called  in 
the  Hebrew  tongue,  Bethesda, 
having  Ave  porches.  In  these  lay 
a  great  multitude  of  impotent 
folk,  of  blind,  halt,  withered, 
waiting  for  tlie  moving  of  the 
water.  For  an  angel  went  down 
at  a  certain  season  into  the  pool, 
and  troubled  the  water:  whoso- 
ever then  first,  after  the  troub- 
ing  of  the  water,  stepped  in,  was 
made  whole  of  whatsoever  disease 
he  had.  And  a  certain,  man  was 
there,  which  had  an  infirmity 
thirty  and  eight  years.  When 
Jesus  saw  him  lie,  and  knew  that 
he  liad  been  now  a  long  time  in 
that  case,  he  saith  unto  him,  Wilt 
thou  be  made  whole?  The  im- 
potent man  answered  him.  Sir, 
1  liave  no  man,  when  the  water 
is  troubled,  to  put  me  into  the 
pool:  but  while  I  am  coming, 
another  steppeth  down  before 
me.  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  Rise, 
take  up  thy  bed,  and  walk.  And 
immediately  the  man  was  made 
whole,  and  took  up  his  bed,  and 
walked:  and  on  the  same  day  was 
the  sabbath.  The  Jews  there- 
fore said  unto  him  that  was  cured, 
It  is  the  sabbath-day;  it  is  not  law- 
ful for  thee  to  carry  thy  bed.  He 
answered  them,  He  that  made  me 
whole,  the  same  said  unto  me, 
Take  up  thy  bed,  and  walk?  Then 
asked  they  him,  Wliat  man  is 
that  wbich  said  unto  thee.  Take 
up  thy  bed,  and  walk?  And 
he  that  was  healed  wist  not 
who  it  was;  for  Jesus  had  convey- 
ed himself  away,  a  multitude 
being  in  that  place.  Afterward 
Je.sus  Hndeth  him  in  the  temple, 
and  said  unto  him,  Behold,  thou 
art  made  whole:  sin  no  more,  lest 
a  worse  thing  come  unto  theo. 
The  man  departed,  and  told  the 
Jews  that  it  was  Jesus  which  had 
made  him  whole. 

Man  with  a  Withered  Hand. 

Matth.  xii,  10-13.    And,  behold, 

tbere  was  a  man  which  had  his 

baud  withered.     And  they  asked 


him,  saying,  Is  It  lawful  to  heal 
on  the  sabbath-days?  that  they 
might  accuse  him.  And  he  said 
unto  them.  What  man  shall  there 
be  among  you,  that  shall  have  one 
sheep,  and  if  it  fall  into  a  pit  on 
the  sabbath-day,  will  he  not  lay 
hold  on  it,  and  lift  it  out?  How 
much  then  is  a  man  better  than 
a  sheep?  Wherefore  it  is  lawful  to 
do  well  on  the  sabbath  -  daj'S. 
Then  saith  he  to  the  man.  Stretch 
forth  thine  hand.  And  he 
stretched  it  forth;  and  it  was 
restored  whole,  like  as  the  other. 

Man  Deak  and  Dumb  Cured. 

Mark  vii,  31-35.  And  again  de- 
parting from  the  coasts  of  Tyre 

and  Sidon And  they 

bring  unto  him  one  that  was 
deaf,  and  had  an  Impediment  In  his 
speech;  and  they  beseech  him  to 
put  his  handupon  him.  And  he  took 
him  aside  trom  the  multitude,  and 
put  his  fingers  into  his  ears,  and 
he  spit,  and  touched  his  tongue; 
And,  looking  up  to  heaven,  he 
sighed,  and  saith  unto  him, 
Ephphatha,  that  is.  Be  opened. 
And  straightway  liis  ears  were 
opened,  and  the  string  of  his 
tongue  was  loosed,  and  he  spake 
plain. 

Woman  Cured  of  Eighteen 
Years  Infirmity. 

Luke  xiii,  11-13.  And,  behold, 
there  was  a  woman  which  had  a 
spirit  of  infirmity  eighteen  years, 
and  was  bowed  together,  and 
could  in  no  wise  lift  up  herself. 
And  when  Jesus  saw  her,  he 
called  Aer  to  him,  and  said  unto 
her.  Woman,  thou  art  loosed 
from  thine  infirmity.  And  he  laid 
his  hands  on  her;  and  immediately 
she  was  made  straight,  and 
glorified  God. 

Dropsicai.  Man. 
lAike  xiv,  1-4.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  as  he  went  into  the  house  of 
one  of  the  chief  Pharisees  to  eat 
bread  on  the  sabbath  day,  that 
thejr  watched  him.  And,  behold, 
there  was  a  certain  man  before 
him  which  had  the  dropsy.  And 
Jesus  answering,  spake  unto  the 
lawyers  and  Pharisees,  saying,  Is 
it  lawful  to  heal  on  the  sabbath- 
day?  And  they  held  their  peace. 
And  he  took  him,  and  healed  him, 
and  let  him  go. 

Ten  Lepers  Cleansed. 
Luke  xvii,  12-19.  And  as  lie 
entered  into  a  certain  village, 
there  met  him  ten  men  that  were 
lepers,  which  stood  afar  ofif:  And 
they  lifted  up  their  voices,  and 
said,  Jesus,  Master,  have  mercy 
on  us.  And  when  he  saw  them, 
he  said  unto  them,  Go  shew  your- 
selifes  unto  the  priests.  And  it 
493 


came  to  pass,  that,  as  they  went, 
they  were  cleansed.  And  one  of 
them,  when  he  saw  that  he  was 
healed,  turnftd  back,  and  with  a 
loud  voice  glorified  God,  And  fell 
down  on  his  lace  at  his  feet, 
giving  him  thanks:  and  he  was  a 
Samaritan.  And  Jesus  answer- 
ing said,  Were  there  not  ten 
cleansed?  but  wiiere  are  the  nine? 
There  are  not  found  that  returned 
to  give  glory  to  God,  save  this 
stranger.  And  he  said  unto  him. 
Arise,  go  thy  way;  thy  faith  hath 
made  thee  whole. 

The  Ear  op  Malchus  Healed. 
Luke  xxll,  50,  51.  And  one  of 
them  smote  a  servant  of  the  high 
priest,  and  cut  off  his  right  ear. 
And  Jesus  answered  and  said, 
Suflf.r  ye  thus  fir.  And  ho 
touched  his  ear,  and  healed  him. 

3rd.— GIVING  SIGHT  TO  THE 
BLIND. 

TWO  BLIND   men. 

Matth.  ix,  28-30.  And  when  he 
was  come  into  the  house,  the 
blind  men  came  to  him:  and  Jesus 
saith  unto  them.  Believe  ye  that  I 
am  able  to  do  this?  They  said 
unto  him.  Yea,  Lord.  Then 
touched  he  their  eyes,  saying. 
According  to  your  faith  be  it  unto 
you.  And  their  eyes  were  open- 
ed: and  Jesus  straitly  charged 
them,  saying.  See  that  no  man 
know  it. 

Blind  Man  Restored  to  Sight. 
Mark  viii,  22-26.  And  he  Com- 
eth to  Bethsaida;  and  they  bring 
a  blind  man  unto  him,  and  be- 
sought him  to  toucli  him.  And 
he  took  the  blind  man  by  the 
hand,  and  led  him  out  of  the 
town;  and  when  he  had  spit  on 
his  eyes,  and  put  his  hands  upon 
him,  he  asked  him  if  he  saw 
ought.  And  he  looked  up,  and 
said,  I  see  men  as  trees,  walking. 
After  that  he  put  his  hanils  again 
upon  his  eyes,  and  made  him 
look  up;  and  he  was  restored,  and 
saw  every  man  clearly.  And  he 
sent  him  away  to  liis  house,  say- 
ing. Neither  go  into  the  town,  nor 
tell  it  to  any  in  the  town. 

Man  Bobn  Blind. 

John  ix,  1.  5-7.  And  as  Jesvs 
passed  by,  he  saw  a  man  which 
was  blind  from  his  birth.  As  long 
as  1  am  in  the  world,  I  am  the 
light  of  the  world.  When  he  had 
thus  spoken,he  spat  on  the  ground 
and  made  clay  of  the  spittle,  and 
he  anointed  the  eyes  of  the  blind 
man  with  the  clay,  and  said  unto 
him,  Go,  wash  in  the  pool  of 
Siloam,  (which  is,  by  interpi-eta- 
tiou.  Sent.)     He   went   his   way 


MIRACLES. 


therefore,  and  washed,  and  came 
seeing. 

Blind  Bartimeus. 
MarTc  x,  46-52.  And  they  came 
to  Jericlio:  and  as  lie  went  out  of 
Jericho  with  his  disciples  and  a 
great  number  of  people,  blind 
Bartimeus,  the  son  of  Timeus,  sat 
by  the,  liighway  side,  beprging. 
And  when  he  heard  that  It  was 
Jesus  of  Nazareth,  he  began  to 
cry  out,  and  say,  Jesus,  thou  son 
of  David,  have  mercy  on  me. 
And  many  charged  him  that  he 
should  liold  his  peace:  but  he 
cried  the  more  a  great  deal,  Thou 
son  of  David,  have  mercy  upon 
me.  And  Jesus  stood  still,  and 
commanded  him  to  bo  called. 
And  they  call  the  blind  mnn,  pay- 
ing unto  him.  Be  of  good  comfort, 
rise;  he  calleth  thee.  And  he, 
casting  away  his  garment,  rose, 
and  came  to  Jesus.  And  Jesus 
answered  and  said  unto  him, 
What  wilt  thou  that  I  should  do 
unto  thee?  The  blind  man  said 
unto  him,  Lord,  that  I  might  re- 
ceive my  si^lit.  And  Jesus  said 
Tinto  him.  Go  thy  way;  thy  faith 
hath  made  thee  whole.  And  im-

3.— EXPULSION  OP  DEMONS. 

MAN    WITH    AN    UNCLEAN    SPIRrT. 

Mark  i,  23-26.  And  there  was 
in  their  synagogue  a  man  with  an 
unclean  spirit;  and  he  cried  out, 
Saying,  Let  us  alone;  what  have 
we  to  do  with  thee,  thou  Jesus  of 
Nazareth?  art  thou  come  to  des- 
troy us?  I  know  thee  who  thou 
art,  the  Holy  One  of  God.  And 
Jesus  rebuked  him,  saying.  Hold 
thy  peace,  and  come  out  of  him. 
And  when  thoundoan  spirit  had 
torn  him,  and  cried  with  a  loud 
voice,  he  came  out  of  him. 

Luke  iv,  33-35.  And  in  the  syna- 
gogue there  \v;is  a  man  which  had 
a  spirit  of  an  unclean  devil,  and 
cried  out  with  a  loud  voice.  Say- 
ing, Let  us  alone;  what  have  we  to 
do  with  thee,  thou  Jesus  of  Naza- 
reth? art  thou  cotne  to  destroy  us? 
I  know  thfto  who  thou  art;  the 
Holy  One  of  God.  And  Jesus  re- 
buked him,  saying.  Hold  thy 
peace,  and  come  out  of  him.  And 
when  the  devil  had  thrown  him  in 
the  midst,  ho  came  out  of  him, 
and  hurt  him  not. 

Demoniacs  op  Gad  aba. 
Mark  v,  1-20.  And  they  came 
over  unto  the  other  side  of  the 
sea,  into  the  country  of  the  Ga- 
darenes.  And  when  he  was  come 
out  of  the  ship,  immediately  there 
met  him.  ont  of  the  tombs,  a  man 
wltli  an  nnclean  spirit,  Who  had 
bi$  dwelling  among  the   tombs; 


and  no  man  could  bind  him,  no, 
not  with  chains:  Because  that  he 
had  been  often  bound  with  fetters 
and  chains,  and  the  chains  had 
been  plucked  asunder  by  him, 
and  the  fetters  broken  in  pieces: 
neither  could  any  man  tame  him. 
And  always,  night  and  day,  he 
was  in  the  mountains,  and  in  the 
tombs,  crying,  and  cutting  himself 
with  stones.  But  when  he  saw 
Jesus  afar  off,  he  ran  and  wor- 
shipped him,  And  cried  with  aloud 
voice,  and  said.  What  have  I  to  do 
witli  thee,  Jesus,  thou  Son  of  the 
most  high  God?  I  adjure  thee  by 
God,  that  thou  torment  me  not. 
(For  he  said  unto  him.  Come  out 
of  the  man,  thou  unclean  spirit.) 
And  he  asked  him.  What  is  thy 
name?  And  he  answered,  saying. 
My  mime  is  Legion:  for  we  are 
many.  And  he  besought  him 
much  that  he  would  not  send 
them  away  out  of  the  country. 
Now  there  was  there,  nigh  unto 
the  mountains,  a  great  herd  of 
swine  feeding.  And  all  the  devils 
besought  him,  saying,  Send  us 
into  the  swine,  that  we  may  enter 
into  them.  And  forthwith  Jesus 
gave  them  leave.  And  the  un- 
clean spirits  went  out,  and  entered 
into  the  swine;  and  the  herd  ran 
violently  down  a  steep  place  into 
the  sea,  (they  were  about  two 
thousand,)  and  were  choked  in  the 
sea.  And  they  that  fed  the  swine 
fled,  and  told  it  in  the  city,  and 
in  the  country.  And  they  went 
out  to  see  what  it  was  that  was 
done.  And  they  come  to  Jesus, 
and  see  him  that  was  possessed 
with  the  devil,  and  had  the  legion, 
sitting,  and  clothed,  and  in  his 
right  mind:  and  they  were  afraid. 
And  they  that  saw  it  told  them 
how  it  befel  to  him  that  was 
possessed  with  the  devil,  and  also 
concerning  the  swine.  And  they 
began  to  pray  him  to  depart  out 
of  their  coasts.  And  when  he  was 
come  into  the  ship,  he  that  had 
been  possessed  with  the  devil 
prayed  him  that  he  might  be 
with  him.  Howbeit  Jesus  8ufl"ered 
him  not;  but  saith  unto  him.  Go 
home  to  thy  friends,  and  tell  them 
how  great  things  the  Lord  hatb# 
done  for  thee,  and  hath  had  com- 
passion on  thee.  And  he  de- 
parted, and  began  to  publish  in 
Decapolls  how  great  things  Jesus 
had  done  for  him:  and  all  men  did 
marvel. 

Dumb  Demoniac. 
3fatth.  ir,  32,  38.  As  they  went 
out,  behold,  they  brought  to  him 
a  dumb  man  possessed  with  a 
devil.  And  when  the  devil  was 
cast  out,  the  dumb  spake:  and  the 
multitudes  marvelled,  saying,  It 
was  never  so  seen  in  Israel. 

Blind  and  Dumb  Dbmoniao. 
Matth.     xli,    22.      Then  jvas

brought  unto  bim  one  possessed 
with  a  devil,  blind  and  dnmb: 
and  he  healed  him,  insomuch 
that  the  blind  and  dumb  both 
spake  and  saw. 

Demoniac  Boy. 
Mark  \x,  17-27.  And  one  of  the 
multitude  answered  and  said, 
Master,  I  have  brought  unto  thee 
my  son,  which  hath  a  dumb  spirit; 
And  wheresoever  he  taketh  him, 
he  teareth  him:  and  he  foameth, 
and  gnasheth  with  his  teeth,  and 
pineth  away:  and  I  spake  to  thy 
disciples  that  they  should  cast 
him  out;  and  they  could  not.  He 
auswereth  liim,  and  saith,  O  faith- 
less generation,  how  long  shall  I 
be  with  you?  how  long  shall  I 
sufiFer  you?  bring  him  unto  me. 
And  they  brought  him  unto  him: 
and  when  he  saw  him,  straiarht- 
way  the  spirit  tare  him;  and  he 
fell  on  the  ground,  and  wallowed, 
foaming.  And  he  asked  his 
father,  How  long  is  it  ago  since 
this  came  unto  him?  And  he  said. 
Of  a  child.  And  oft-times  it  hath 
cast  him  Into  the  fire,  and  into  the 
waters,  to  destroy  him:  but  if  thou 
canst  do  any  thing,  have  com- 
passion on  us,  and  help  us.  Jesus 
said  unto  liim.  If  thou  canst  be- 
lieve, all  things  are  possible  to 
him  that  believeth.  And  straight- 
way the  father  of  the  child  cried 
out,  and  said  with  tears.  Lord,  I 
believe:  help  thou  mine  unbelief. 
When  Jesus  saw  that  the  people 
came  running  together,  he  rebuk- 
ed the  foul  spirit,  saying  unto  him. 
Thou  dumb  and  deaf  spirit,  I 
charge  thee,  come  out  of  him,  and 
enter  no  more  into  him.  And  the 
spirit  cried,  and  rent  him  sore, 
and  came  out  of  him:  and  he 
was  as  one  dead;  Insomuch  that 
that  many  said.  He  is  dead.  But 
Jesus  took  him  by  the  hand,  and 
lifted  him  up;  and  he  arose. 

6.— RESTORATION  TO  LIFE. 

DAtlOHTEB  OF  JAIRU3. 

Markv, 22-24.  35A3.  And,behold, 
there  cometh  one  of  the  rulers  of 
the  synagogue,  Jairus  by  name; 
andwhen  he  saw  him,  he  fell  at  his 
feet.  And  besought  liim  greatly, 
saying,  My  little  daughter  lieth 
at  the  point  of  death:  I  pray  thee, 
come  and  lay  thy  hands  on  her, 
that  she  may  be  healed;  and  she 
shall  live.  And  Jesus  went  with 
him;  and  much  people  followed 
him,  and  thronged  him.  While  he 
yet  spake,  there  came  from  the 
ruler  of  the  synagogue's  Jiouse 
certain  which  said,  Thy  daughter 
Is  dead;  why  troublest  thou  the 
Master  any  further?  As  soon  as 
Jesus  heard  the  word  that  was 
spoken,  he  saith  unto  the  ruler  of 
the  synagogue.  Be  not  afraid,  only 
believe.  And  he  sufifered  no  man 
to  follow  him,  save  Peter,  and 


MIRACLES. 


James,  and  John  the  brother  of 
James.  And  he  cometh  to  the 
house  of  tlie  ruler  of  the  syna- 
gogue, and  seeth  the  tumult,  and 
them  that  wept  and  wailed  greatly. 
And  when  he  was  come  in,  he 
Baith  unto  them,  Wliy  make  ye 
this  ad.»,  and  weep?  the  damsel  is 
not  (lead,  but  sleepeth.  And  they 
laughed  him  to  scorn.  But  when 
he  had  put  them  all  out,  he  taketh 
the  father  and  the  mother  of  the 
damsel,  and  them  that  were  with 
him,  and  entereth  in  where  the 
damsel  was  lying.  And  he  took 
the  damsel  by  the  hand,  and  said 
unto  her,  Talitha-cumi;  which  is, 
being  interpreted,  Damsel,  (I  say 
unto  thee,)  arise.  And  straight- 
way the  damsel  arose,  and  walked; 
for  she  was  of  the  age  of  twelve 
years.  And  they  were  ostonished 
with  a  great  astonishment.  And 
he  charged  them  stiaitly  that  no 
man  should  know  it;  and  coin- 
mmded  that  something  should  be 
given  her  to  eat. 

Son  of  the  Widow  op  Naiu. 
Licke  vii,  11--15.  And  it  came 
to  pass  the  day  after,  that  he  went 
into  a  city  called  Nain;  and  many 
of  ids  disciples  went  with  him, 
and  much  people.  Now,  when  he 
came  nigh  to  the  gate  of  the  city, 
behold,  there  was  a  dead  man  car- 
ried out,  the  only  son  of  his  mo- 
tlier,  and  she  was  a  widow :  and 
much  people  of  the  city  was  with 
I  her.  And  when  the  Lord  saw  her, 

I         he  had  compassion  on  her,  and 
i  said  unto  her.  Weep  not.     And 

I  he  came  and  touched  the  bier: 

!  and  they  that  bare  him  stood  still. 

1  And  he  said.  Young  man,  I  say 

I  unto  thee.  Arise.     And  he  that 

j  was  dead  sat  up,  and  began  to 

i         speak.    And  he  delivered  him  to 

his  mother. 
! 

I  Lazarus. 

I  John  xi,  14, 15, 18,  25,  26, 31,  33, 

I        '  34,  43,  44.    Then  said  Jesus  unto 
]  them    plainly,  Lazarus   is   dead. 

And  I  am  glad  for  your  sakes  that 
I  was  hot  there,  to  the  intent  ye 
may  believe ;  nevertheless  let  us 
go  unto  him.  (Now  Bethany  was 
nigh  )into  Jei  usalem,  about  fifteen 
furlongs  off.)  Jesus  said  unto  her, 
I  am  the  resurrection,  and  the 
lite:  he  that  believeth  in  me, 
though  he  were  dead,  yet  shall  he 
live:  and  whosoever  liveth,  and 
believeth  in  me,  shall  never  die. 
Believest  thou  this?  The  Jews 
then  which  were  with  her  in  the 
house,  and  comforted  her,  when 
they  saw  Mary,  that  she  rose  up 
hastily  and  went  out,  followed 
her,  saying,  She  goeth  unto  the 
grave  to  weep  there.  When  Jesus 
therefore  saw  her  weeping,  and 
the  Jews  also  weeping  which 
came  with  her,  he  groaned  in  the 
spirit,  and  was   troubled.     And 


pnid.  Where. have  ye  laid  h!m? 
Thf'y  say  unto  him,  Lor<l.  come 
and  see.  And  when  he  thus  had 
spoken,  he  cried  with  a  hmd  voice, 
I..azarus,  come  forth.  And  he  that 
was  (lead  came  forth,  bound  hand 
and  fdot  with  grave-clothes:  and 
his  face  was  bound  about  with  a 
napkin.  Jesus  saith  unto  them, 
Loose  him,  and  let  him  go.

name.

answered  him,  saying.  Master,  we 
saw  one  casting  out  devils  in  thy 
name,  and  he  followeth  not  us; 
and  we  forbade  him,  because  he 
followeth  not  us.  But  Jesus  said, 
Forbid  him  not:  for  there  is  no 
man  which  shall  do  a  miracle  in 
my  name,  that  can  lightly  speak 
evil  of  me.  For  he  that  is  not 
agaiast  us  is  on  our  part.

earnestly  on  us,  as  though  by  our 
own  power  or  holiness  we  had 
made  this  man  to  walk?  And  his 
name,  through  faith  in  his  name, 
hath  made  this  man  strong,  whom 
ye  see  and  know;  yea,  the  faith 
which  is  by  him  hath  given  him

presence  of  you  all.

ed Paul  and  us,  and  cried,  saying, 
These  men  are  tlie  servants  of  the 
most  high  God,  which  show  unto 
us  the  way  ot  salvation.  And  this 
did  she  many  days.  But  Paul, 
being  grieved,  turned  and  said  to 
the  spirit,  I  conimand  tliee  in  the 
name  of  Jesus  Christ  to  come  out 
of  her.  And  he  came  out  the 
same  hour.    And  suddenly  there 


was  a  great  earthquake,  bo  that

down  with  sleep,  and  fell  down 
from  the  third  loft,  and  was 
taken  up  dead.  And  Paul  went 
down,  and  fell  on  him,  and,  em- 
bracing him,  said,  Trouble  not

rose  up  early  on  the  morrow,  and 
thrust  the  fleece  together,  and 
wringed  the  dew  out  of  the  fleece, 
a  bowl-full  of  water.  And  Gideon

hand  of  his  enemies,  and  into  tlie 
hand  of  them  that  seek  his  li(o;  as

parts:  Judah  shall  abide  in  their 
coast  on  the  south,  and  the  house 
of  Joseph  shall  abide  in  their 
coasts  on  the  north.  Ye  shall

beast  that  I  rode  upon.  And  I

by  the  brook,  and  viewed  the  wall, 
and  turned  back,  and  entered  by 
the  gate  of  the  valley,  and  so  re- 
turned. And  the  rulers  knew  not

rest  that  did  the  work.

ITeb.  Ix,  18-23.  Whereupon 
neither  the  first  testament  was 
dedicated  without  blood.  For 
when  Moses  bad  spoken  every 
precept  to  all  the  people  ac(  o  ding 
to  the  law,  he  took  the  blood  of 
calves  and  of  goats,  with  water, 
and  sc  irlet  wool,  and  hys-op,  and 
sprinkled  both  the  book  and  all 
the  people.  Saying,  This  is  the 
blood  ot  the  testament  which  God 
hath  enjoined  unto  you.  Moreover 
he  sprinkled  likewise  with  blood 
both  the  tabernacle  and  all  the 
vessels  of  the  ministry.  And  al- 
most all  things  are  by  the  law 
purged  with  blood;  and  without 
shedding  of  blood  is  no  remission. 
It  was  therefore  necessary  that 
the  patterns  of  things  in  the 
heavens  should  be  purified  with 
these;  but  the  heavenly  things 
themselves  with  better  sacrifices 
than  these.

my  holy  name  in  those  things 
which  they  hallow  unto  me:  I  am

their  hands;  and  that  which  they

clean  the  outside  of  tiie  cup  and 
the  platter;  but  your  iiiwanl  part 
is  lull  of  ravening  and  wickedness,

which  is  w  itliiu  also?

tions, he  that  is  born  in  the  house, 
or  bought  with  money  of  any 
stranger,  which  is  not  of  thy  seed. 
H.,'  that  is  born  in  thy  house,  and 
he  thai  is  bought  witii  ihy  money. 


mnst  needs  lie  circumcised:  nnd 
my  covenant  shall  be  in  your 
flesh  for  an  everlasting  covenant. 
And  the  unclrcunicised  man- 
child,  whose  flesh  of  his  foreskin 
is  not  circumcised,  that  soul  shall 
be  cut  ofl"  trom  his  people;  he  hath 
broken  my  covenant. 

Joshua  V,  2.  At  that  time  the 
Lord  said  unto  Joshua,  Make 
thee  sharp  knives,  and  circumcise 
again  the  children  of  Israel  the 
second  time. 

Ezek.  xxviii,  10.  Thou  shalt  die 
the  deaths  of  the  uncircumcised 
by  the  hand  of  strangers:  for  I 
have  spoken  it,  saith  the  Lord 
God. 

Ezek.  xxxii,  19.  Whom  dost 
thou  pass  in  beauty?  go  down, 
and  be  thou  laid  with  the  uncir- 
cumcised. 

Horn.  XV,  8.  Now  I  say,  that 
Christ  was  a  minister  of  the 
circumcision  for  the  truth  of  God, 
to  confirm  the  promises  made  un- 
to the  fathers. 

Lev.  xxvi,  41,42.  And  that  I  also 
have  walked  conti-ary  unto  them, 
and  have  brought  them  into  the 
land  of  their  enemies;  if  then  their 
uncircumcised  hearts  be  humbled, 
and  they  then  accept  of  the  pun- 
ishment of  their  iniquity;  Then 
will  I  remember  my  covenant  with 
Jacob,aud  also  my  covenant  with 
I^aac,  and  also  my  covenant  with 
Abraham  will  I  remember;  and  I 
will  remember  the  land. 

Deut.  X,  16.  Circumcise  there- 
fore the  foreskin  of  your  heart, 
and  be  no  more  stiff-necked. 

Deut.  XXX,  6.  And  the  Lord  thy 
God  will  circumcise  thine  heart, 
and  the  heart  of  thy  seed,  to  love 
the  Lord  thy  God  with  all  thine 
heart,  and  with  all  thy  soul,  that 
thou  mayest  live. 

Jer.  iv,4.  Circumcise  yourselves 
to  the  Lord,  and  take'away  the 
foreskins  of  your  heart,  ye  men  of 
Judah  and  inhabitants  of  Jerusa- 
len:i;  lest  my  fury  come  forth  like 
fire,  and  burn  that  none  can 
quench  it,  because  of  the  evil  of 
your  doings. 

Jer.  vi,  10-12.  To  whom  shall  I 
speak,  and  give  warning,  that  they 
may  hear?  IJehold,  their  ear  is 
uncircumcised,  and  they  cannot 
hearken:  behold,  the  word  of  the 
Lord  is  unto  tliem  a  reproach; 
they  have  no  delight  in  it.  There- 
fore I  am  full  of  the  fury  of  the 
Lord;  I  am  weary  with  holding  in:  I 
will  pour  it  out  upon  the  children 
abroad,  and  upon  the  assembly  of 
young  men  together:  for  even  the 
husband  with  the  wife  shall  be 
taken,  the  aged  with  him  that  is 
full  of  days.  And  their  houses 
shall  be  turned  unto  others  tciih 
t/ieir  fields  and  wives  together; 
611 


for  I  will  stretch  oxit  my  hand 
upon  the  inhabitants  of  the  land, 
salth  the  Lord. 

Jer.  ix,  25, 26.  Behold,  the  days 
come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  I  will 
punish  all  them  which  are  circum- 
cised with  the  uncircumcised; 
Egypt,  and  Judah,  and  Edom.  and 
the  children  of  Ammon,and  Moab, 
and  all  that  are  in  the  utmost 
corners,  that  dwell  in  the  wilder- 
ness: for  all  these  nations  are  un- 
circumcised, and  all  the  house  of 
Israel  are  uncircumcised  in  the 
heart. 

Eom.  ii,  28,  29.  For  he  is  not  a 
Jew  wliich  is  one  outwardly; 
neither  is  that  circumcision  which 
is  outward  in  the  flesh:  But  he  is 
a  Jew  which  is  one  inwardly;  and 
circumcision  is  that  of  the  heart, 
in  tlie  spirit,  and  not  in  the  letter, 
whose  praise  is  not  of  men,  but  of 
God. 

Col.  ii,  11.  In  whom  also  ye  are 
circumcised  with  the  circumcision 
made  without  hands,  in  putting 
<ff  the  body  of  the  sins  of  the 
flesh  by  the  circumcision  of 
Christ. 

Instances. 

Gen.  xvii,  23-27.  And  Abraham 
took  Ishmael  his  son,  and  all  that 
were  born  in  his  house,  and  ail 
that  were  bought  with  his  money, 
every  male  among  the  men  of 
Abraham's  house,  and  circumcis- 
ed the  flesh  of  tlieir  foreskin  in 
the  selt-same  day,  as  God  had  said 
unto  him.  And  Abraham  teas 
ninety  years  old  and  nine  when 
he  was  circumci-ed  in  the  flesh  of 
his  foreskin.  And  Ishmael  his 
son  icas  thirteen  years  old  when 
he  was  circumcised  in  the  flesh  of 
his  foreskin.  In  the  self-same  day 
was  Abraham  circumcised,  and 
Ishmael  his  son;  And  all  the  men 
of  his  house,  born  in  the  house, 
and  bought  with  money  of  the 
stranger,  were  circumcised  with 
him. 

Gen.  xxl,  4.  And  Abraham  cir- 
cumcised his  son  Isaac,  being 
eight  days  old,  as  God  had  com- 
manded him. 

Gen.  xxxiv,  13-24.  And  the  sons 
of  Jacob  answered  Shechem  and 
Hamor  his  father  deceitfully,  and 
said,  (because  he  had  defiled 
Dinah  their  sister:)  And  they 
said  unto  them,  We  cannot  do 
this  thing,to  give  our  sister  to  orio 
that  is  uncircumcised;  for  that 
were  a  reproach  unto  us:  15ut  in 
this  will  we  consent  unto  you:  If 
ye  will  be  as  we  be,  that  every 
male  of  you  be  circumcised;  Then 
will  we  give  our  daughters  unto 
you,  and  we  will  take  your  daugh- 
ters to  us,  and  we  will  dwell  with 
you,  and  we  will  become  one 
people.  But  if  ye  will  not  heark- 
en  unto  us,  to   be  circumcised: 


then  will  we  take  our  daughter, 
and  we  will  be  gone.  And  their 
worda  pleased  Hamor,  and  Shec- 
hem,  Ilamor's  son.  And  tlie 
young  man  deferred  not  to  do  the 
thing,  because  he  had  delight  in 
Jacob's  daughter:  and  he  was 
more  honourable  than  all  the 
house  of  his  fatlier.  And  Ilamor 
and  Shechem  his  son  came  unto 
the  gate  of  their  city,  and  com- 
muned with  the  men  of  their  city, 
saying,     These  men  are   peace- 

>.        able  with  us; Only  herein 

^  will  the  men  consent  unto  us  for 
to  dwell  with  us,  to  be  one  people, 
if  every  male  among  us  be  circuin- 
ciwed,  as  they  are  circumcised. 
ShaU  not  their  cattle,  and  tlieir 
substance,  and  every  beast  of 
theirs,  be  ours?  only  let  us  consent 
unto  them,  and  they  will  dwell 
with  us.  And  unto  Hamor,  and 
unto  Shechem  his  son,  hearlcened 
all  that  went  out  of  the  gate  of 
his  city;  and  every  male  was  cir- 
cumcised, all  that  went  out  of  the 
gate  of  his  city. 

Exod.  \v,  24-26.  And  It  came  to 
pass  by  the  way  in  the  inn,  that 
the  Lord  met  him,  and  sought  to 
kill  him.  Then  Zipporah  took  a 
sharp  stone,  and  cut  off  the  fore- 
skin of  her  son,  and  cast  it  at  his 
feet,  and  said.  Surely  a  bloody 
husband  art  thou  to  me.  So  he 
let  him  go:  then  she  said,  A 
bloody  husband  thou  art,  because 
of  the  circumcision. 

Josh.  V,  3-5,  7-9.  And  Joshua 
made  him  sharp  knives,  and  cir- 
cumcised (he  children  of  Israel  at 
the  hill  of  the  foreskins.  And 
this  is  the  cause  why  Joshua  did 
circumcise:  All  the  people  that 
came  out  of  Egypt,  that  were 
mules,  even  all  tlie  men  of  war, 
died  in  the  wilderness  by  the  way, 
af'er  they  came  out  of  Egypt. 
N;'W  all  the  people  that  came  out 
were  circumcised;  but  all  the 
people  that  were  born  in  the  wil- 
derness by  the  way  as  they  came 
forth  out  of  Egypt,  tliem  they  liad 
noi  circumcised;  And  their  chil- 
dren whom  he  raised  up  in  their 
stead,  them  Joshua  circumcised: 
for  they  were  uucircumcised,  be- 
cause they  had  not  circumcised 
tliera  by  the  way.  And  it  came 
to  pass,  when  they  had  done  cir- 
cumcising all  tiie  people,  that  they 
abode  in  their  places  in  the  camp, 
till  they  were  whole.  And  tlie 
Louu  said  unto  Joshua,  This  day 
have  I  rolled  away  the  reproach 
of  Egypt  from  off  you:  wherefore 
the  name  of  the  place  is  called 
Gilgul  unto  this  day. 

Acts  vli,  8.  And  he  gave  him  the 
covenant  of  circumcision:  and  so 
Abraham  begat  Isaac,  and  cir- 
cumcised him  the  eightli  day;  and 
iaaac  begat  >)&coh\  and  Jacob  6tf- 
gat  the  twelve  patriarchs. 


OEDINANCilS. 

Disputes  aboxtt 

clecumcislon  in  the  days  of  the 

Apostles. 

Acts  XV,  1,  2,  5,  6,  10.  24.  And 
certain  men,  which  came  down 
from  Judea,  taught  the  brethren, 
and  said,  E.xcept  ye  be  circumcis- 
ed after  the  manner  of  Moses,  ye 
cannot  be  saved.  When  therefore 
Paul  and  Barnabas  had  no  small 
dissension  and  disputation  with 
them,  they  determined  that  Paul 
and  Barnabas,  and  certain  other 
of  them,  should  go  up  to  Jerusa- 
lem unto  the  apostles  and  elders 
about  this  question.  But  there 
rose  up  certain  of  tiie  sifect  of  the 
Pharisees  which  believed,  saying. 
That  it  was  needful  to  circumcise 
them,  and  to  command  them  to 
keep  the  law  of  Moses.  And  the 
apostles  and  elders  came  together 
for  to  consider  of  this  matter. 
Now  therefore  why  tempt  ye  God, 
to  put  a  yoke  upon  the  neck  of 
the  disciples  which  neither  our 
fathers  nor  we  were  able  to  bear? 
Forasmuch  as  we  have  heard, 
that  certain  which  went  out  from 
us  have  troul)led  you  with  words, 
subverting  your  souls,  saying, 
Ye  must  be  circumcised,  and  keep 
the  law;  to  whom  we  gave  no  such 
commandment. 

Acts  xvi,  3.  Him  [Timothy] 
would  Paul  have  to  go  forth  with 
him;  and  took  and  circumcised 
him  because  of  the  Jews  which 
\7ere  in  those  quarters:  for  they 
knew  all  that  his  father  was  a 
Greek. 

Bom.  ii,  24-27.  For  the  name  of 
God  is  blasphemed  among  the 
Gentiles  through  you,  as  it  is 
written.  For  circumcision  verily 
proflteth,  if  thou  keep  the  law- 
hut  if  thou  be  a  breaker  of  tlie 
lasv,  thy  circumcision  is  made  uu- 
circumcision.  Therefore,  if  the 
uncircumcision  keep  the  right- 
eousness of  the  law,  shall  not  liis 
uncircumcision  be  counted  for 
circumcision?  And  shall  not  un- 
circumcision which  is  by  nature, 
if  it  fuliil  the  law,  judge  thee,  who 
by  the  letter  and  circumcision 
dost  transgress  the  law? 

Bom.  ill,  30,  31.  Seeing  it  is  one 
God  which  shall  juslity  the  cir- 
cumcision by  faith,  and  uncircnm- 
cision  tlirpugh  faith.  Do  we  then 
make  void  the  law  through  faith? 
God  forbid:  yea,  we  establish  the 
law. 

JRom.  Iv,  9-12.  Cometh  this 
blessedness  then  upon  the  circum- 
cision o?iZy,  orupim  the  uncircum- 
cision also?  for  wo  say  that  faith 
was  reckoned  to  Abrahiiu  for 
righteousness.  How  was  it  then 
reckoned?  when  he  was  in  circum- 
cision, or  in  uncircumcision?  Not 
iu  circumcision,  but  in  uncircum- 
cision. And  he  received  the  bigu 
of  circumcision,  a  seal  of  (ue 
512 


righteousness  of  the  falfh  which 
he  had  yet  being  uncircumcis.  d : 
that  he  might  be  the  father  of  all 
them  that  believe,  though  they  be 
not  circumcised;  that  righteous- 
ness might  be  imputed  unto  them 
also:  And  the  father  of  circum- 
cision to  them  who  are  not  of  the 
circumcision  only,  but  who  also 
walk  in  the  steps  of  that  faith  of 
our  father  Abraham,  which  he  had 
being  yet  uncircumcised. 

1  Cor.  vii,  18,  19.  Is  any  man 
called  being  circumcised?  let  him 
not  become  uncircuuicised:  is  any 
called  in  uncircumcision?  let  him 
not  be  circumcised.  Circumcision 
is  nothing,  an  I  uncircumcision  is 
nothing,  but  the  keeping  of  the 
commandments  of  God. 

Gal.  ii,  3  5.  But  neither  Titus, 
who  was  with  me,  being  a  Greek, 
was  compelled  to  be  circumcised: 
And  that  because  of  false  brethren 
unawares  brought  in,  who  came  in 
privily  to  spy  out  our  liberty 
which  we  have  in  Christ  Jesus, 
that  they  might  bring  us  into  bon- 
dage: To  whom  we  gave  place  by 
subjection,  no,  not  for  an  hour, 
that  the  truth  of  the  gospel  might 
continue  with  you. 

Gal.  v,  6-10, 11, 12.  For  in  Jesus 
Christ  neither  circumcision  avail- 
elh  anything,  nor  uncircumciKi(m; 
but  faith  which  worketh  by  love. 
I  have  confidence  in  you  through 
the  Lord,  that  ye  will  be  none 
otherwise  minded:  but  he  that 
troubleth  you  shall  bear  his 
judgment,  whosoever  he  be.  And 
I, brethren,  ill  yet  preach  circum- 
cision, why  do  I  yet  sufftsr  perse- 
cution? then  is  the  offence  of  the 
cross  ceased.  I  would  they  were 
even  cut  off  which  trouble  you. 

Gal.  vl,  12-15.  As  many  as 
desire  to  make  a  fair  shew  in  the 
flesh,  they  constrain  you  to  be 
circumcised;  only  lest  they  should 
suffer  persecution  for  the  cross  of 
Christ.  For  neither  they  them- 
selves who  are  circumcised  keep 
the  law;  but  desire  to  have  you 
circumcised,  that  they  may  glory 
iu  your  flesh.  For  in  Christ  Jesus 
neither  circumcision  availeth  any- 
thing,  nor  uncircumcision,  but  a 
new  creature. 

Phil,  iii,  2,  3.  Beware  of  dogs, 
beware  of  evil  workers,  beware  of 
the  concision.  For  we  are  the 
circumcision,  which  worship  God 
in  the  Spirit,  and  rejoice  in  Clirist 
Jesus,  and  have  no  confidence  in 
the  fiesh.

and  the  Aniorites,  and  the  llivites, 
and  tlie  Jebusites,  which  he  sware 
unto  thy  fathers  to  give  thee,  a 
land  flowing  with  milk  and  honey, 
that  thou  Shalt  keep  this  service 
in  this  month.  And  thou  slialt 
shew  thy  son  in  that  day,  saying. 
This  is  done  because  of  that  which 
the  l.oRi)  did  unto  me  wlien  I 
came  forth  out  of  Egypt.  And  it 
shall  be  for  a  sign  unto  thee  upon 
til  me  hand,  and  for  a  memorial 
between  thine  eyes,  that  the 
Lord's  law  may  be  in  Ihy  mouth: 
for  with  a  strong  hand  hath  the

Thou  Shalt  therefore  keep  this

Exod.  xxiii,  15.  Thou  shalt  keep

in  the  time  ai)pointed  of  the  monih

Num.  ix,  2.  Let  the  children  of 
Israel  also  keep  the  passover  at

The  Pascal  Lamb. 
Eoiod.  xii,  3-9,  13,  21-23.  Speak 
ye  unto  all  the  congngation  of 
L-rael,  saying,  In  the  tenth  day  of 
thi.-*  nionili  they  shall  take  to  tlieni 
every  man  a  lamb,  according  to 
the  house  of  their  lathers,  a  lamb 
for  an  house.  And  if  the  house- 
hol  1  be  too  little  for  the  lamb,  let 
him  and  his  neighbour  next  unto 
his  house  take  it,  according  to  the 
number  of  the  souls;  every  man, 
according  to  his  eating,  shall  make 
your  count  for  the  lamb.  Your 
lamb  shall  be  without  blemish,  a 
male  of  tlie  first  year:  ye  shall  take 
it  out  from  the  sheep,  or  from  the 


goats.  And  ye  shall  keep  it  np 
until  the  fourteenth  day  of  the 
same  month:  and  the  whole  as- 
sembly of  the  congregation  of 
Israel  shall  kill  it  in  the  evening. 
And  they  shall  take  of  the  blood, 
and  strike  it  on  the  two  side-posts, 
and  on  the  upper  door-post  of  the 
houses  wherein  they  shall  eat  it. 
And  they  shall  eat  the  flesh  in 
that  night,  roast  with  fire,  and  un- 
leavened bread;  and  with  bitter 
herbs  they  shall  eat  it.  Eat  not  of 
it  raw,  nor  sodden  at  all  with  wa- 
ter, but  roast  with  fire;  his  head 
with  his  legs,  and  with  the  pur- 
tenance  thereof.  And  the  blood 
shall  be  to  you  for  a  token  upon 
the  houses  where  ye  are:  and 
when  I  see  the  blood,  I  will  pass 
over  you,  and  the  plague  shall  not 
be  upon  you  to  destroy  you, 
when  I  smite  the  land  of  Egypt. 
Then  Moses  called  for  all  the 
elders  of  Israel,  and  said  unto 
them.  Draw  out,  and  take  you  a 
lamb  according  to  your  families, 
and  kill  the  passover.  And  ye 
shall  take  a  bunch  of  hyssop,  and 
dip  it  in  the  blood  that  is  in  the 
bason,  and  strike  the  lintel  and  the 
two  side-posts  with  the  blood  that 
is  in  the  bason:  and  none  of  you 
shall  go  out  at  the  door  of  his 
house  until  the  morning.  For  the 
Lord  will  pass  through  to  smite 
the  Egyptians:  and  when  he  seeth 
the  blood  upon  the  lintel,  and  on 
the  two  side-posts,  the  Lord  will 
pass  over  the  door,  and  will  not 
suiter  the  destroyer  to  come  in 
unto  your  houses  to  smite  you. 

Deut.  xvi,  7.  And  thou  shalt 
roast  and  eat  it  in  the  place  which 
the  Lord  thy  God  shall  choose: 
and  thou  shalt  turn  in  the  morn- 
ing, and  go  unto  thy  tents. 

2  Chron.  xxx,  16.  And  they 
stood  in  their  place,  after  their 
manner,  according  to  the  law  of 
Moses,  the  man  of  God:  the  priests 
sprinkled  the  blood,  which  they 
received  of  the  hand  ot  the  Le- 
vites. 

2  Chron.  XXXV,  11-13.  And  they 
killed  the  passover,  and  the 
priests  sprinkled  the  blood  from 
tiieir  hands,  and  the  Levites 
flayed  them.  And  they  removed 
the  burnt  -  offerings,  that  they 
might  give  according  to  the  divi- 
sions of  the  families  of  the  people, 
to  offer  unto  the  Lord,  as  it  is 
written  in  the  book  of  Moses:  and 
so  did  they  with  the  oxen.  And 
they  roasted  the  passover  with 
hre,  according  to  the  ordinance: 
but  the  other  holy  offerings  sod 
they  in  pots,  and  in  caldrons,  and 
in  pans,  and  divided  </iem  speedily 
among  all  the  people. 

Heb.  xl,  28.  Through  faith  he 
kept  the  passover,  and  the  sprink- 
ling of  blood,  lest  he  that  destroy- 
ed the  first-born  should  touch 
them.  I

Exod.  xii,  15.  18-20.  S.ven  days 
shall  ye  eat  unleavened  bread; 
even  the  first  day  ye  shall  put 
away  leaven  out  of  your  houses: 
for  whosoever  ejUoth  leavened 
bread,  from  the  first  day  until  the 
seventh  day,  that  soul  shall  be 
cut  off  from  Israel.  In  (he  first 
month,  on  the  fourteenth  day  of 
the  month  at  even,  ye  shall  eat 
unleavened  bread,  until  the  one 
and  twentieth  day  of  the  month 
at  even.  Seven  days  shall  there 
be  no  leaven  found  In  your 
houses:  for  whosoever  eateth  that 
whioli  is  leavened,  even  that  soul 
shall  be  cut  off  from  the  congre- 
gation of  Israel,  whether  he  be  a 
stranger,  or  born  in  the  land.  Ye 
shall  eat  nothing  leavened;  in  all 
your  habitations  shall  ye  eat  un- 
leavened bread. 

Exod.  xiii,  6,  7.  Seven  days  thou 
shalt  eat  unleavened  bread,  and 
in  the  seventh  day  shall  be  a  feast 
to  the  Lord.  Unleavened  bread 
shall  be  eaten  seven  days:  and 
there  shall  no  leavened  bread  be 
seen  with  thee;  neither  shall 
there  be  leaven  seen  with  thee  in 
all  thy  quarters. 

Deut.  xvi,  3,  4.  Thou  slialt  eat 
no  leavened  bread  with  it;  seven 
days  Shalt  thou  eat  unleavened 
bread  therewith,  even  the  bread 
of  afiliction;  (for  tliou  camest 
forth  out  of  the  land  of  Egypt  in 
haste;)  that  thou  mayest  remem- 
ber tlie  day  when  thou  earnest 
forth  out  of  the  land  of  Egypt  all 
the  days  of  thy  life.  And  there 
shall  be  no  leavened  bread  seen 
with  thee  in  all  thy  coasts  seven 
days;  neither  shall  there  any 
thing  of  the  fl'^sh,  which  thou  sac- 
rificedst  the  tti  st  day  at  even,  re- 
main all  night  until  the  morning. 

Ezra  vi,  22.  And  kept  the  feast 
of  unleavened  bread  seven  days 
with  joy:  for  the  Lord  had  made 
them  joyful,  and  turned  the  heart 
of  the  king  of  Assyria  unto  them, 
to  strengthen  their  hands  in  the 
work  of  the  Louse  of  God,  the 
God  of  Israel. 

1  Cor.  V,  7,  8.  Purge  out  there- 
fore the  old  leaven,  that  ye  may 
be  a  new  lump,  as  ye  are  un- 
leavened. For  even  Christ  our 
passover  is  saciiliced  for  us: 
Therefore  let  us  keep  the  feast, 
not  with  old  leaven,  neither  wiih 
the  leaven  of  malice  and  wicked- 
ness; but  with  the  unleavened 
bread  of  sincerity  and  truth. 

The  Feast. 
Exod.  xii,  10,  11, 16,  46  And  ye 
shall  let  notliing  of  it  remain 
until  the  morning;  and  that  which 
rt-maiiieth  of  it  until  the  morning 
ye  snail  burn  with  fire.  And 
thus  shall  ye  eat  it;  with  your

feet,  and  your  staflf  in  your  hand; 
and  ya  shall  eat  it  in  haste:  it  is 
the  Lobd's  passover.  And  in  the 
first  day  there  shall  be  an  holy 
convocition,  and  in  the  seventh 
day  there  shall  be  an  holy  convo- 
cation to  j'ou;  no  manner  of  work 
shall  be  done  in  them,  save  that 
which  every  mm  must  eat,  that 
only  may  he  done  of  you.  In  one 
bouse  shall  it  be  eaten:  thou  shalt 
not  carry  forth  ought  of  the  flesh 
abroad  out  of  the  house;  neither 
Bhall  ye  break  a  bone  thereof. 

Num.  xxviii,  18.  In  the  first  day 
shall  be  an  holy  convocation;  ye 
shall  do  no  manner  of  servile 
work  therein. 

Deut.  xvl,48.  .  .  .  Neither  shall 
there  any  thing  of  the  flesh,  which 
thou  sacriflcedst  the  lirst  day  at 
even,  remain  all  nlgiit  until  the 
morning.  Six  days  thou  shalt  eat 
unleavened  breid:  and  on  the 
seventh  day  shall  be  a  solemn 
assembly  to  the  Lord  thy  God: 
thou  stialt  do  no  work  therein. 

2  Ohron.  xxx,  21.  And  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel,  that  loere  present 
at  Jerusilem,  kept  the  feast  of 
unleavened  bread  seven  days 
with  great  gladness:  and  the  Le- 
vltes  and  the  priests  praised  the 
Lord  day  by  day,  singing  with 
loud  instruments  unto  the  Lobd. 

Time  and  Place. 

Lev.  xxiii,  5,  6.  In  the  fourteenth 
day  of  the  rtrst  month  at  even  is 
the  Lord's  passover.  And  on  tha 
fifteenth  day  of  the  same  month 
is  the  feast  of  unleavened  bread 
unto  the  Lord:  seven  days  ye 
must  eat  unleavened  bread. 

Num.  ix,  3, 10. 11.  In  the  four- 
teenth day  of  this  month,  at  even, 
ye  shall  keep  it  in  his  appointed 
season:  according  to  all  the  rites 
of  it,  and  according  to  all  the 
ceremonies  thereof,  shall  ye  keep 
it.  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
Israel,  saying,  If  any  man  of  you, 
or  of  your  posterity,  sliall  be  un- 
clean by  reason  of  a  dead  body,  or 
be  in  a  journey  afar  ofT,  yet  he 
shall  keep  the  p  issuvcr  unto  the 
Lord.  Tlie  fourteenth  day  of  the 
second  month  at  even  they  shall 
keep  it,  and  eat  it  with  unleaven- 
ed bread  and  bitter  herbs. 

Num.  xxviii,  16  And  in  the 
fourteenth  day  of  the  first  month 
is  the  passover  of  the  I^ord. 

Deut.  xvi,  1-6.  Observe  the 
month  of  Abib,  and  keep  the  pass- 
over  unto  the  Lord  thy  God:  for 
in  the  month  of  Abib  the  Lord 
thy  God  broUri'lit  thee  forth  out  of 
Egypt  by  night.  T1)0U  shalt 
therefore  saciiftce  the  passover 
unto  the  Lord  thy  God,  of  the 
flock  and  the  herd,  in  the  place 
which  the  Lord  shall  choose  to 
place  his  name  there.   Thou  may- 


ost  not  sacrifice  the  passovor 
,  within  any  of  thy  gates,  whic  .  tno 
j  Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee:  But  at 
the  place  which  the  Lord  tliy 
God  shall  choose  to  place  his  name 
in,  there  thou  shalt  sacriflce  tlie 
passover  at  even,  at  the  going 
down  of  the  sun,  at  the  season 
that  thou  earnest  forth  out  of 
Egypt. 

2  Ghron.  xxx,  2-4. 13, 15, 23.  For 
the  king  had  taken  counsel,  and  his 
princes,  and  all  the  congregation 
In  Jerusalem,  to  keep  the  pass- 
over  in  the  second  month.  For 
they  could  not  keep  it  at  that 
time,  because  the  priests  had 
not  sanctified  themselves  suf- 
ficiently, neither  had  the  people 
gathered  themselves  togetiier  to 
Jerusalem.  And  the  thlag  pleased 
the  king  and  all  the  congregation. 
And  there  assembled  at  Jerusa- 
lem much  people  to  keep  the 
feast  of  unleavened  bread  in  the 
second  month,  a  very  great  con- 
gregation. Then  they  killed  the 
passover  on  the  fourteenth  day  of 
the  second  month:  and  the  priests 
and  the  Levites  were  ashamed, 
and  sanctified  themselves,  and 
brought  in  the  burnt-ofiferings 
into  the  house  of  the  Loeij.  And 
the  whole  assembly  took  counsel 
to  keep  other  seven  days:  and 
they  kept  other  seven  days  with 
gladness. 

EzeJc.  xlv,  21.  In  the  first  month, 
in  the  fourteenth  day  of  the 
month,  ye  shall  have  the  passover, 
a  feast  of  seven  days;  unleavened 
bread  shall  be  eaten. 

Pbepabatiow, 

Exod.  xii,  43-45,  47,  48.  And  the 
Lord  said  unto  Moses  and  Aaron, 
This  is  the  ordinance  of  the  pass- 
over;  There  shall  no  stranger  eat 
thereof:  But  every  man's  servant 
that  is  bought  for  money,  when 
thou  hast  circumcised  him,  then 
shall  he  eat  thereof.  A  foreigner 
and  an  hired  servant  shall  not  eat 
thereof.  All  the  congregation  of 
Israel  shall  keep  it.  And  when  a 
stranger  shall  sojourn  with  thee, 
and  will  keep  the  passover  to  the 
Lord,  let  all  his  males  be  circum- 
cised, and  then  let  liim  come  near 
and  keep  it;  and  he  shall  be  as 
one  that  is  born  in  the  land:  for 
no  uncircumcised  person  shall  eat 
thereof. 

Num.  ix,  6-8,  13,  14.  And  there 
were  certain  men,  who  were  de- 
filed by  the  dead  body  of  a  man, 
that  they  could  not  keep  the  pass- 
over  on  that  (lay;  and  they  came 
before  Moses  and  before  Aaron  on 
that  day.  And  those  men  said 
unto  him,  We  are  defiled  by  the 
dead  body  of  a  man:  wherefore 
are  we  kept  back,  that  we  may 
not  offer  an  offering  of  the  Lord 
in  his  appointed  season  among  tiie 
children  of  Israel  ?  And  Moses  i 
614 


said  unto  V.  em  St-ml  sflll,  and  1 
will  liear  W(,a;  the  Loud  will  com- 
mand concurning  you.  Btit  the 
man  that  is  clean,  and  is  not  in  a 
journey,  and  forbeareth  to  keep 
the  passovtr,  even  the  same  soul 
shall  be  cut  off  from  his  people; 
becaus3  he  brouglit  not  the  offer- 
ing of  the  Lord  in  his  appointed 
season,  that  man  sliall  bear  his 
sin.  And  if  a  stranger  shall  so- 
journ  among  you.  and  will  keep 
the  passover  unto  the  Lord;  ac- 
cording to  the  ordinance  of  the 
passover,  and  accordii:g  to  the 
manner  thereof;  so  shall  he  do:  ye 
shall  have  one  ordinance,  bithfor 
the  stranger,  and  for  him  that  was 
born  in  the  land. 

2  Chron.  xxx,  17-20.  For  there 
were  many  in  the  congregation  that 
were  not  sanctified;  therefore  the 
Levites  had  the  charge  of  the 
killing  of  the  passovers  for  every 
one  t]iat  loas  not  clean,  to  sanctify 
them  unto  the  Lord.  For  a  mul- 
titude of  the  people,  even  many  of 
Ephraim,  and  Manasse  •,  Isaacliar, 
and  Zebulun,  had  not  cleansed 
themselves,  yet  did  they  eat  the 
passover  otherwise  than  it  was 
written:  but  Hezekiah  prayed  for 
them,  saying,  Tlie  good  Lord 
pardon  every  one  That  prepareth 
his  heart  to  seelc  God,  the  Lord 
God  of  his  fathers,  though  he  be 
not  cleansed  accordmg  to  the 
purification  of  tlie  sanctuary. 
And  the  Lord  hearkened  to  lleze- 
kiah,  and  healed  the  people. 

2  Chron.  xxxv,  6.  So  kill  the 
passover,  and  sanctify  yourselves, 
and  prepare  your  brethren,  that 
they  may  do  according  to  the 
word  of  the  Lord  bv  the  hand  of 
Moses. 

Ezra  vi,  20,  21.  For  the  priests 
and  the  Levites  were  purified 
together,  all  of  them  were  pure, 
and  killed  the  passover  for  all  the 
children  of  the  captivity,  and  for 
their  brethren  the  priests,  and  lor 
themselves.  And  the  children  of 
Israel,  which  were  c^miQ  again  out 
of  captivity,  and  all  such  as  had 
separated  themselves  unto  them 
from  the  filthiness  of  the  heathen 
of  the  land,  to  seek  the  Lord  God 
of  Israel,  did  eat. 

John  xi,  55.  And  the  Jews'  pass- 
over  was  nigh  at  hand:  and  many 
went  out  of  the  country  up  to 
Jerusalem  before  the  passover,  to 
purify  themselves. 


Accompantino  Sacrifices. 

2  Chron.  xxxv,  7-9, 12, 13.  And 
Josiah  gave  to  the  people,  of 
the  flock,  lambs  and  kids, 
all  for  the  passover  offerings, 
for  all  that  were  present,  to 
the  number  of  thirty  thousand, 
and  three  thousand  bullocks : 
these  were  of   the  king's  sub- 


ORDINANCES. 


stance.  And  h\s  prtnces  par© 
willingly  unto  the  people,  to  the 
priests,  and  to  the  Leviles:  llil- 
kiah,  and  Zechariah,  and  Jehiel, 
rulers  of  the  house  of  God,  gave 
tinto  the  priests  for  the  passover- 
offeriiigs  two  thousand  and  six 
liuiulred  small  cattle,  and  three 
hundred  oxen.  Conaniah  also, 
and  Shemaiah.  and  Nathaneel, 
his  brethren,  and  llashabiah,  and 
Jeiel,  and  Jozabad,  chief  of  the 
Levites,  gave  unto  the  Levltes  for 
passover-offerings  five  thousand 
small  cattle,  and  five  hundred 
oxen.  And  they  removed  the 
burnt-offerings,  that  they  might 
give  accortliiig  to  the  divisions  of 
the  families  of  the  people,  to  offer 
unto  the  Lord,  as  it  is  written  in 
the  book  of  Moses:  and  so  did  they 
with  the  oxen.  And  they  roasted 
the  pas^sover  with  fire  according 
to  the  ordinance:  but  the  other 
holy  offerings  sod  they  in  pots, 
and  in  caldrons,  and  in  pans,  and 
divided  them  speedily  among  all 
the  people.  And  afterward  they 
made  ready  for  themselves,  and 
for  the  priests:  because  the  priests 
tiie  sons  of  Anron  were  busied  in 
offering  of  burnt-offerings  and  the 
fat  until  night;  therefore  the 
Levites  prepared  for  themselves, 
and  for  the  priests  the  sous  of 
Aaron. 

Instances. 

Num.\x,^.6.  And  Moses  spake 
unto  the  children  of  Israel,  that 
they  should  keep  the  passover. 
And  they  kept  the  passover  on 
the  fourteenth  day  of  the  first 
month  at  even  in  the  wilderness 
of  Sinai:  according  to  all  that  the 
LoRn  commanded  Moses,  so  did 
the  children  of  Israel. 

Josh.  V,  10.  And  the  children  of 
Israel  encamped  lu  Gilgal,  and 
kept  the  passover  on  the  four- 
teenth day  of  the  month  at  even, 
In  the  plains  of  Jericho. 

2  Kings  xxiii,  21-23.  And  the 
king  commanded  all  the  people, 
saying,  Keep  the  passover  unto 
the  Lord  your  God,  as  it  is 
written  In  the  book  of  this  cove- 
nant. Surely  there  was  not  holden 
such  a  passover  from  the  days  of 
the  judges  that  judged  Israel,  nor 
In  all  the  days  of  the  kirigs  of 
li-rael,  nor  of  the  kings  of  Judah: 
But  in  ttiH  eighteenth  year  of 
king  Josia,h,ioherein  this  passover 
was  holden  to  the  Loau  in  Jerusa- 
lem. 

2  Chron.  XXX,  1,  5,  26.  And 
Hezekiah  sent  to  all  Israel  and 
Judah,  and  wrote  letters  also  to 
Ephraim  and  Manasseh,  that  they 
should  come  to  the  house  of  the 
Lord  at  Jerusalem,  to  keep  the 
passover  unto  the  Lord  God 
of  Israel.  So  they  established 
a  decree  to  make  proclamation 
throughout  all  Israel,  from  Beer- 


eTieba  even  to  Dan,  that  thpy 
should  come  to  keep  ilie  passover 
unto  the  Lord  God  of  Israel  at 
Jerusalem:  for  they  had  not  done 
it  of  a  long  time  in  such  sort  as  it 
was  written.  So  there  was  great 
joy  in  Jerusalem:  for  since  the 
time  of  Solomon,  the  son  of  David 
king  of  Israel,  there  was  not  the 
like  in  Jerusalem. 

2  Chron.  xxxv,  1,  16-19.  More- 
over, Josiah  kept  a  passover  unto 
the  Lord  in  Jerusalem:  and  they 
killed  the  passover  on  the  four- 
teenth day  of  the  first  month.  So 
all  the  service  of  the  Lord  was 
prepared  the  same  day,  to  keep 
the  passover,  and  to  oflfer-burnt- 
offerings  upon  the  altar  of  the 
Lord,  according  to  the  command- 
ment of  king  Josiah.  And  the 
children  of  Israel  that  were  pres- 
ent kept  the  passover  at  tliat  lime, 
and  the  feast  of  unleavened  bread 
seven  days.  And  there  was  no 
passover  like  to  that  kept  in  Israel 
from  the  days  of  Samuel  the  pro- 
phet; neither  did  all  the  kings  of 
Israel  keep  such  a  passover  as 
Josiah  kept,  and  the  priests,  and 
the  Levites,  and  all  Judah  and 
Israel  that  were  present,  and  the 
inhabitants  of  Jerusalem.  In  the 
eighteenth  year  of  the  reign  of 
Josiah  was  this  passover  kept. 

Luke  ii,  41,  42.  Now  his  parents 
went  to  Jerusalem  every  year  at 
the  feast  of  the  passover.  And 
when  he  was  twelve  years  old, 
they  went  up  to  Jerusalem  after 
the  custom  of  the  feast. 

John  vi,  4.  And  the  passover,  a 
feast  of  the  Jews,  was  nigh. 

CHRIST'S  LAST  PASSOVER. 

Matth.  xxvi,  17-20.  Now,  the 
first  day  of  the  feast  of  unleaven- 
ed bread,  the  disciples  came  to 
Jesus,  saying  unto  him.  Where 
wilt  thou  that  we  prepare  for  thee 
to  eat  the  passover?  And  he  said, 
Go  into  the  city  to  such  a  man, 
and  say  unto  him,  The  Master 
saith.  My  time  is  at  hand;  I  will 
keep  the  passover  at  thy  house 
with  my  disciples.  And  the  dis- 
ciples did  as  Jesus  ha:d  appointed 
them;  and  they  made  ready  the 
passover.  Now,  when  the  even 
was  come,  he  sat  down  with  the 
twelve. 

Mark  xiv,  12,  16,  17.  And  the 
first  day  of  unleavened  bread, 
when  they  killed  the  passover,  his 
disciples  said  unto  him,  Where 
wilt  thou  that  we  go  and  prepare 
that  thou  mayest  eat  the  pass- 
over?  .  .  .  And  they  made  ready 
the  passover.  And  in  the  even- 
ing he  Cometh  with  the  twelve. 

Luke  xxii,  1, 7-16.  Now  the  feast 
of  unleavened  bread  drew  nigh, 
which  is  called  the  Passover 
Then  came  the  day  of  unleavened 
bread,  when  the  passover  must

b°  Wnpd.  And  be  sont  Peter  and 
John,  saying.  Go  and  prepare  us 
the  pa.ssover.  that  we  may  eat. 
And  Ihey  said  unto  liim,  Where 
wilt  thou  that  we  prepare?  And 
he  said  unto  them,  Behold,  when 
ye  are  entered  into  the  city,  there 
shall  a  man  meet  j'ou.  bearing  a 
pitcher  of  water;  follow  him  into 
the  house  where  he  entereth  in. 
And  ye  shall  say  unto  the  good- 
man  of  the  house.  The  Master 
saith  unto  thee.  Where  is  the 
guest-chamber,  where  I  shall  eat 
the  passover  with  my  disciples? 
And  he  shall  show  you  a  large 
upper  room  lurnished:  there  make 
ready.  And  they  went,  and  found 
as  he  had  said  unto  them:  and 
they  made  ready  the  passover. 
And  when  the  hour  was  come,  he 
sat  down,  and  the  twelve  ap  .sties 
with  him.  And  he  said  unto 
them,  With  desire  I  have  desired 
to  eat  this  passover  with  you  be- 
fore I  suffer:  For  I  say  unto  you, 
I  will  not  any  more  eat  thereof, 
until  it  be  fulfilled  in  the  kingdom 
of  God.

BAPTISM. 

INSTITITTION. 

Matth.  xxviii,  19.  Go  ye  there- 
fore, and  teach  all  nations,  bap- 
tizing them  in  the  name  of  the 
Father,  and  of  the  Sou,  and  of  the 
Holy  Ghost. 

1  Cor.  I,  13-17.  Is  Christ 
divided?  was  Paul  crucified  for 
you  ?  or  were  ye  baptized  in  the 
name  of  Paul?  I  thank  God  that  I 
baptized  none  of  you,  but  Crispus 
and  Gains;  Lest  any  should  say 
that  I  baptized  in  mine  own  name. 
And  I  baptized  also  the  house- 
hold of  Stephanas:  besides,  I  know 
not  whether  I  baptized  any  other. 
For  Christ  sent  me  not  to  baptize, 
but  to  preach  the  gospel;  not  with 
wisdom  of  words,  lest  the  cross  of 
Christ  should  be  made  of  none 
efi"ect. 

Eph.  iv,  5.  One  Lord,  one  faith, 
one  baptism. 


Matth.  XX,  22.  23.  But  Jesus 
answered  and  said,  Ye  know  not 
what  ye  ask.  Are  ye  able  to 
drink  of  the  cup  that  I  shall  drink 
of,  and  to  be  baptized  with  the 
baptism  that  I  am  baptized  with? 
They  say  unto  him.  We  are  able. 
And  he  saith  unto  them.  Ye  shall 
drink  indeed  of  my  cup,  and  be 
baptized  with  the  baptism  that  I 
am  baptized  with 

Mark  x,  38.  39.  But  Jesus  said 
unto  them,  Ye  know  not  what  ye 
ask:  can  ye  drink  of  the  cup  that 
I  drink  of?  and  be  baptized  with 
the  baptism  that  I  am  baptized 
with?  And  they  say  unto  him. 
We  can.  And  Jesus  said  unto 
them,  Ye  shall  indeed  drink  of  the 
cup  that  I  drink  o^  and  with  the 


baptism  that  I  am  baptized  withal 
shall  ye  be  baptized. 

Luke  xii,  50.  But  I  have  a  bap- 
tism to  be  baptized  with;  and  how 
am  I  straitened  till  it  be  accom- 
plished! 

1  Gor.  X,  1, 2.  Moreover,  breth- 
ren, I  would  not  that  j'e  should  be 
Ignorant,  how  that  all  our  fathers 
were  under  the  cloud,  and  all 
passed  tliough  the  ?e  i;  And  were 
all  baptized  unto  Moses  in  the 
cloud  and  in  the  sea. 

1  Cor.  xii,  13.  For  by  one  Spirit 
are  we  all  baptized  into  one  body, 
whether  loe  be  Jews  or  Gentiles, 
whetlier  we  be  bond  or  free;  and 
have  been  all  made  to  drink  into 
one  Spirit. 

1  Cor.  XV,  29,  30.  Else  what  shall 
they  do  which  are  baptized  for 
tlie  dead,  if  the  dead  rise  not  at 
all?  wliy  are  tliey  then  baptized 
for  the  dead?  And  why  stand  ye 
in  jeopardy  every  hour? 

Instances. 
Acts  viii,  12. 13  36-38.  But  when 
they  believed  Pliilip,  preaching 
the  things  concerning  the  king- 
dom of  God,  and  the  name  of 
Jesus  Christ,  they  were  baptized, 
both  men  and  women.  Then 
Simon  himself  believed  also:  and 
when  he  was  b;:^ptized,  he  con- 
tinued with  Pliilip,  and  wondered, 
beholding  tlie  miracles  and  signs 
which  were  done.  And  as  they 
went  on  their  way,  they  came  un- 
to a  certain  water:  and  the  eunuch 
said,  See,  here  is  water;  what  doth 
hinder  me  to  he  baptized?  And 
Pliilip  said,  If  thou  believest  with 
all  thine  heart,  thou  mayest.  And 
he  answered  and  said,  I  believe 
that  Jesus  Christ  is  the  Son  of 
God.  And  he  commanded  the 
chariot  to  stand  stilh  and  they 
went  down  botli  into  the  water, 
both  Ptiilip  and  the  eunuch;  and 
he  baptized  him. 

Acts  ix,  18.  And  immediately 
there  leil  from  his  eyes  as  it  had 
been  scales,  and  he  received  sight 
thereWitli,  and  arose  and  was 
baptized. 

Acts  X,  46-48.  For  they  heard 
them  speali  with  tongues,  and 
magnify  God.  Then  answered 
Peter,  Can  anyman  forbid  water, 
that  these  should  not  be  baptized, 
which  have  received  the  Holy 
Ghost  as  well  as  we?  And  he 
commanded  them  to  be  baptized 
in  the  name  of  the  Lord.  Then 
prayed  they  him  to  tarry  certain 
days. 

Acts  xvi,  14, 15,  33  And  a  cer- 
tain woman  named  Lydia,  a  seller 
of  purple,  of  the  city  of  Thyatira, 
wliich  worshipped  (jod,  heard  us: 
whose  heart  the  Lord  opened, 
that  she  attended  unto  tiie  things 
which  were  spoken  oi  Paul.    And 


OEDINANCES. 

when  she  was  baptized,  and  her 
household,  she  besought  us,  say- 
ing, If  ye  have  judged  me  to  be 
faithful  to  the  Lord,  come  into  my 
house,  and  abide  there.  And  she 
constrained  us.  And  he  took 
them  tlie  same  hour  of  the  night, 
and  washed  their  stripes;  and 
was  baptized,  he  and  all  his, 
straightway. 

Acts  xviii,  8/  And  Crispus,  the 
chief  ruler  of  the  synagogue,  be- 
lieved on  the  Lord,  with  all  his 
house:  and  many  of  the  Corin- 
thians hearing  believed,  and  were 
baptized. 

Blessings. 

Mark  xvi,  16.  He  thatbelleveth, 
and  is  baptized,  shall  be  saved; 
but  he  that  believeth  not  shall  be 
damned. 

Acts  xxii,  16.  And  now,  why 
tarriest  thou?  arise,  and  be  bap- 
tized, and  wush  away  thy  sins, 
calling  on  the  name  of  the  Lord. 

Rom.  vl,  3.  4.  Know  ye  not,  that 
80  many  of  us  as  were  baptized 
into  Jesus  Christ  were  baptized 
into  his  deatli?  Therefore  we  are 
buried  with  him  by  baptism  into 
death;  that  like  as  Christ  was 
raised  up  from  the  dead  by  the 
glory  of  the  Father,  even  so  we 
also  should  walk  in  newness  of 
life. 

Oal.  iii,  27.  For  as  many  of  you 
as  have  been  baptized  into  Christ, 
have  put  on  Christ. 

Col.  ii,  12.  Buried  with  him  in 
baptism,  wherein  also  ye  are 
risen  with  hiim  through  the  faith 
of  the  operation  of  God,  who  hatli 
raised  him  from  the  dead. 

1  Peter  ill,  21.  The  like  figure 
whereunto  even  baptism  doth  also 
now  save  us,  (not  the  putting 
away  of  the  filth  of  the  flesh,  but 
the  answer  of  a  good  conscience 
toward  God,)  by  the  resurrection 
of  Jesus  Christ. 

Baptism  of  Christ.. 
Matth.  iii,  13-15.  Then  cometh 
Jesus  from  Galilee  to  Jordan  unto 
John,  to  be  baptized  of  him.  But 
John  forbade  him,  saying,  I  have 
need  to  be  baptized  of  thee,  and 
comest  thou  to  me?  And  Jesus 
answering  said  unto  him,  Suflfer  it 
to  be  so  now:  for  thus  it  becometh 
us  to  fulfil  all  righteousness. 
Then  he  suflered  him. 

Mark  1, 9.  And  it  came  to  pass 
in  those  days,  that  Jesus  came 
from  Nazareth  of  Galilee,  and  was 
baptized  of  John  in  Jordan. 

DisPKNSBD  BY  Christ. 
John  iii,  22.  After  these  things 
came  Jesus  and  his  disciples  into 
the  land  of  Judea  and  there  ho 
tarried  witli  them  and  baptized.

John  \v.  1,2.  When  therefore 
the  Lord  knew  how  the  Pharisees 
had  heard  that  Jesus  made  and 
baptized  more  disciples  than 
John.  (Though  Jesus  himself 
baptized  not,  but  his  disciples.) 

By  John. 

Matth.  ill,  5,  6. 11, 12.  Then  went 
out  to  him  Jerusalem,  and  all 
Judea,  and  all  the  region  round 
about  Jordan,  And  were  baptized 
of  him  in  Jordan,  confessing  their 
sins.  I  indeed  baptize  you  with 
water  unto  repentance:  but  he 
tliat  cometh  after  me  is  mightier 
than  I,  whose  shoes  I  am  not 
worthy  to  bear:  he  shall  baptize 
you  with  the  Holy  Ghost,  and 
with  fire:  "Whose  fan  is  in  his 
hand,  and  he  will  throughly  purge 
his  floor,  and  gather  his  wheat 
into  the  garnei-;  but  he  will  burn 
up  the  chaff  with  unquenchable 
fire. 

3fark  i,  4,  5,  8.  John  did  bap- 
tize in  the  wilderness,  and  preach 
the  baptism  of  repentance  for  the 
remission  of  sins.  And  there 
went  out  unto  him  all  the  land  of 
Judea,  and  they  of  Jerusalem,  and 
were  all  baptized  of  him  in  the 
river  of  Jordan,  confessing  their 
sins.  I  indeed  have  bap  ized  you 
with  water:  but  he  shall  baptize 
you  with  the  Holy  Ghost. 

Jofin  iii,  23  And  John  also  was 
baptizing  in  .^non  near  to  Salim, 
because  there  was  much  water 
there:  and  they  came  and  was 
baptized. 

Acts  i,  5.  For  John  truly  bap- 
tized with  water:  but  ye  sliall  be 
baptized  with  the  Holy  Ghost  not 
many  days  hence. 

Acts  xviii,  25.  This  man  was 
instructed  in  the  way  of  the  Lord; 
and,  being  fervent  in  the  spirit, 
he  spake  and  taught  diligently 
the  things  of  the  Lord,  knowing 
only  the  baptism  of  John. 

Acts  xix,  2-5.  He  s;iid  unto 
them.  Have  ye  received  the  Holy 
Ghost  since  ye  believed?  And 
they  said  unto  him.  We  have  not 
so  much  as  heard  wliether  there 
be  any  Holy  Ghost.  And  he  said 
unto  them,  Unto  what  then  were 
ye  baptized!"  And  they  said. 
Unto  John's  baptism.  Then  said 
Paul,  John  verily  baptized  with 
the  baptism  of  repentance,  saying 
unto  the  people,  that  they  should 
believe  on  him  which  should  come 
alter  him,  that  is,  on  Christ  Jesus. 
When  they  heard  this,  they  were 
baptized  in  the  name  of  the  Lord 
Jesus. 

THE  LORD'S  SUPPER. 

Its  Institution. 
Matth.  xxvi,  26-29.  And  as  they 
were   eating.  Jesna  took    bread, 
and  blessed  it,  uud  brake  it,  and 


ORDINANCES. 


gave  it  to  his  disciples,  and  said, 
Take,  eat;  tliis  is  my  body.  And 
he  took  the  cup,  aud  gave  thanks, 
and  gave  it  to  liieni,  eaying-,  Drink 
ye  all  of  it:  For  tliis  is  my  blood 
of  the  new  testament,  vvliicli  is 
shed  for  many  lor  the  remission 
of  sins.  But  I  say  unto  you.  I  will 
not  drink  henceforth  of  this  fruit 
of  the  vine,  until  that  day  when  I 
drink  it  new  with  you  in  my 
Father's  kingdom. 


1  Cor.  xi,  23-26.  For  I  have  re- 
ceived of  the  Lord  that  which 
also  I  delivered  unto  you,  That 
the  Lord  Jesus  the  same  night  in 
widch  he  was  betrayed  took 
bread:  And  when  he  had  given 
thanks,  he  brake  it,  and  said. 
Take,  eat;  this  is  my  body,  wbicti 
is  broken  for  y<ju:  this  do  in  re- 
menibnnce  of  me.  After  the 
same  manner  also  ?ie  took  the  cup, 
when  he  had  supped,  saying,  Tliis 
cup  is  the  new  testament  in  my 


blood:  this  do  ye,  as  oft  as  ye 
drink  it,  in  remembrance  of  me. 
For  as  often  as  ye  eat  this  bread, 
and  drink  tliis  cup,  ye  do  show  the 
Lord's  death  till  he  come. 

Benefits  and  Cautions. 
1  Cor.  X,  16,  17.  The  cup  of 
blessing  which  we  bless,  is  it  not 
tlie  communion  of  the  blood  of 
Christ?  Tlie  bread  which  we 
break,  is  it  not  the  communion  of 
the  body  of  Christ?  For  we  being 
many  are  one  bread,  and  one 
body:  for  we  are  all  partakers  of 
that  one  bread. 

1  Cor.  xl,  20-34.  When  ye 
come  together  therefore  into 
one  place,  this  is  not  to  eat 
the  Lord's  supper.  For  in  eating 
every  one  taketh  before  other 
his  own  supper:  and  one  is  hun- 
gry, and  another  is  drunken. 
What!  have  ye  not  houses  to  eat 
and  to  drink  in?  or  despise  ye  the 
cUuidi  ol  God.  and  shame  Uiem  i 
U7 


that  have  not?  What  shall  r  say 
to  you?  shall  I  praise  you  in  tliis? 
I  praise  you  not.  When  fore 
whosoever  sliall  eat  this  bread, 
and  drink  this  cup  of  the  Lord, 
unworthily,  shall  be  guilty  of  the 
body  and  blood  of  tlie  Lord.  But 
let  a  man  examine  himself,  and  so 
let  him  eat  of  that  bread,  and 
drink  of  that  cnp.  For  he  that 
eateth  and  drinketh  unworthily, 
eateth  and  drinketh  damn  it  ion  to 
himself,  not  discerning  the  Lord's 
body,  For  this  cause  many  are 
weak  and  sickly  among  you,  and 
many  sleep.  For  if  we  would 
judge  ourselves,  we  should  not  be 
judged.  But  when  we  are  judged, 
we  are  chastened  ot  tlie  Lord,  that 
we  should  not  be  condemned 
with  the  world.  Wheretore,  my 
brethren,  when  ye  come  together 
to  eat,  tarry  one  for  another.  And 
if  any  man  hunger,  let  liim  eat  at 
home;  that  ye  come  not  together 
unto  condemnaMon.  And  the  rest 
Will  1  Bet  ia  oruer  when  I  come.

TESTAMENT. 
SOTAIi    BBAMBLE. 

Judges  ix,  8-15.  The  trees  went 
forth  on  a  time  to  anoint  a  king 
over  them;  and  they  said  unto  the 
olive-tree,  Reign  tliou  over  us. 
But  the  olive-tree  said  unto 
them,  Should  I  leave  my  fatness 
wherewitli  by  me  they  honour 
God  and  man,  and  go  to  be  pro- 
moted over  the  trees?  And  the 
trees  said  to  the  fl^'-tree,  Come 
thou,  and  reign  over  us.  But  tlio 
fig-tree  said  unto  them,  Sliould  I 
forsake  my  sweetness,  and  my 
good  fruit,  and  go  to  be  promoted 
over  the  trees  ?  Then  said  the 
trees  unto  the  vine,  Come  thou, 
and  reign  over  us.  And  the  vine 
Bald  unio  them.  Should  I  leave 
my  wine,  which  cheereth  God 
and  man,  and  go  to  be  promoted 
over  the  trees?  Then  said  all  the 
trees  unto  the  bramble.  Come 
thou,  and  reign  over  us.  And  the 
bramble  said  unto  the  trees,  If  in 
truth  ye  anoint  me  king  over  you, 
then  come  and  put  your  trust  in 
my  shadow;  and  if  not,  let  fire 
come  out  of  the  bramble,  and  de- 
vour the  cedars  of  Lebanon. 

EwB  Lamb. 
2  Sam.  xii,  1-7.  And  the  Lord 
sent  Nathan  unto  David:  and  he 
came  unto  him,  and  said  unto  him. 
There  were  two  men  in  one  city; 
the  one  rich,  and  tlie  other  poor. 
The  rich  man  had  excee(iing 
many  flocks  and  herds;  But  tlie 
poor  man  had  nothing,  save  one 
little  ewe  lamb,  which  he  had 
bought  and  nourished  up;  and  it 


grew  up  together  Trith  him,  and 
with  his  children;  it  did  eat  of  his 
own  meat,  and  drank  of  his  own 
cup,  and  lay  in  his  bosom,  and  was 
unco  him  as  a  daughter.  And 
there  came  a  traveller  unto  the 
rich  man;  and  he  spared  to  take 
of  his  own  flock,  and  of  his  own 
herd,  to  dress  for  the  wayfaring 
man  that  was  come  unto  him;  but 
took  the  poor  man's  lamb,  and 
dressed  it  for  the  man  that  was 
come  to  him.  And  David's  anger 
was  greatly  kindled  against  the 
man;  and  he  said  to  Nathan,  As 
the  Lord  liveth,  the  man  that 
hath  done  this  thing  shall  surely 
die:  And  he  shall  restore  the 
lamb  four -fold,  because  he  did 
this  thing,  and  because  he  had  no 
pity.  And  Nathan  said  to  David, 
Thou  ai-t  the  man.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God  of  Israel,  I  anointed 
thee  king  over  Israel,  and  1  de- 
livered thee  out  of  the  hand  of 
Saul. 

QUAREBLSOMB  BROTHERS. 

2  Sam.  xiv,  3-20.  And  come  to 
the  king,  and  speak  on  this  man- 
ner unto  him.  So  Joab  put  the 
words  in  her  mouth.  And  when 
the  woman  of  Tekoah  spake  to 
the  king,  she  fell  on  her  face  to 
the  ground,  and  did  obeisance,  and 
said.  Help,  O  King!  And  tl.e 
king  said  unto  her,  What  aileth 
thee?  And  she  answered,  I  am 
indeed  a  widow  woman,  and  mine 
husband  is  dead.  And  thy  hand- 
maid had  two  sons,  and  they 
two  strove  t(jgether  in  the  field, 
and  there  was  none  to  part  them, 
but  the  one  smote  the  other,  and 
slew  him.  And,  behold,  the  whole 
family  is  risen  against  thine  hand- 
maid, and  they  said.  Deliver  him 
that  smote  his  orother,  that  we 
may  kill  him,  for  the  life  of  his 
brother  whom  he  slew;  and  we 
will  destroy  the  heir  also:  and  so 
they  shall  quench  my  coal  which 
is  left,  and  shall  not  leave  to  my 
husband  neither  name  nor  re- 
mainder upon  the  earth.  And 
the  king  said  unto  the  woman,  Go 
to  thine  house,  and  I  will  give 
charge  concerning  thee.  And 
the  woman  of  Tekoah  said  unto 
the  king.  My  lord,  O  king,  the 
Iniquity  be  on  me,  and  on  my 
falner's  house:  and  the  king  and 
his  throne  be  guiltless.  And  the 
king  said.  Whosoever  saith  ought 
unto  thee," bring  him  to  me,  and 
he  shall  not  touch  thee  any  more. 
Then  said  she,  I  pray  thee,  let  the 
618 


king  remember  the  Lord  thy  God* 
that  thou  wouldest  not  suffer  the 
revengers  of  blood  to  destroy  any 
more,  lest  they  destroy  my  son. 
And  he  said,  As  the  Lord  liveth, 
there  shall  not  one  hair  of  thy 
sou  fall  to  the  earth.  Then  the 
woman  said,  i-,et  thine  handmaid, 
I  pray  thee,  speak  one  word  unto 
my  lord  the  king.  And  he  said, 
Say  on.  And  the  woman  said. 
Wherefore  then  hast  thou  thougiit 
such  a  thing  against  the  people  of 
God?  for  the  king  doth  speak  this 
thing  as  one  which  is  faulty,  in 
that  ihe  king  doth  not  fetch  home 
again  his  banished.  For  we  must 
needs  die,  and  are  as  water  spilt 
on  the  ground,  which  cannot  be 
gathered  up  again,  neither  doth 
God  respect  any  person;  yet  doth 
he  devise  means  Miat  his  banished 
be  not  expelled  from  him.  Now 
therefore  that  I  am  come  to  speak 
of  tills  thing  unto  my  lord  the 
king,  it  is  because  the  peoide  have 
made  me  afraid:  and  thy  handmaid 
said,  I  will  now  speak  unto  the 
king;  it  may  be  that  the  king  will 
perform  tlie  request  of  his  hand- 
maid. For  the  king  will  hear,  to 
deliver  his  handmaid  out  of  the 
hand  of  the  man  that  would  de- 
stroy me  and  my  son  togetijer  out 
of  the  inheritance  of  God.  Then 
thine  handmaid  said,  The  word  of 
my  lord  the  king  shall  now  be 
comfortable:  for  as  an  angel  of 
God,  so  is  my  lord  the  king,  to 
discern  good  and  bad;  therelbre 
the  Lord  thy  God  will  be  with 
thee.  Then  the  king  answered 
and  said  unto  the  woman.  Hide 
not  from  me,  I  pray  thee,  the 
thing  that  I  shall  ask  thee.  And 
the  woman  said.  Let  my  lord 
the  king  now  speak.  And  the 
king  said,  Is  not  the  hand  of  Joab 
with  thee  in  all  this?  And  the 
woman  answered  and  said.  As 
thy  soul  liveth,  my  lord  the  king, 
none  can  turn  to  the  right  hand 
or  to  the  left  from  ought  that  my 
lord  the  king  hath  spoken:  for 
thy  servant  Joab,  he  bade  me,  and 
he  put  all  these  words  in  the 
mouth  of  thine  handmaid:  To 
fetch  about  this  form  of  speech 
hath  thy  servant  Joab  done  this

ing to  the  wisdom  of  an  angel  of 
God,  to  know  all  things  that  are 
in  the  earth.

king  of  Judah,  saying,  The  thistle 
that  was  in  Lebanon  sent  to  the 
cedar  that  tvas  in  Lebanon,  say- 
ing'. Give  thy  daughter  to  my

Fkuitless  Vineyard. 
Isa.  V,  1-6.  Now  will  I  sing  to 
my  well-beloved  a  song  of  my  be- 
loved touching  his  vineyard.  My 
well-beloved  hath  a  vineyard  in  a 
very  fruitful  hill.  And  he  fenced 
it,  and  gatliered  out  the  stones 
thereof,  and  planted  it  with  the 
choicest  vine,  and  built  a  tower  in 
the  midst  of  it,  and  also  made  a 
wine-pres3  therein:  and  he  looked 
that  it  sliould  bring  forth  grapes, 
and  it  brought  forth  wild  grapes. 
And  now,  O  inhabitants  of  Jeru- 
salem, and  men  of  Judah,  judge, 
I  pr.iy  you,  betwixt  me  and  my 
vineyard.  What  could  have  been 
done  more  to  my  vineyard,  that  I 
Lave  not  done  in  it?  wherefore, 
•when  I  looked  that  it  should  bring 
forth  grapes,  brought  it  forth  wild 
grapes?  And  now  go  to;  I  will 
tell  you  what  I  will  do  to  my 
vineyard:  I  will  take  away  the 
hedge  thereof,  and  it  shall  be 
eaten  up;  and  break  down  the 
wall  thereof,  and  it  shall  be  trod- 
den down.  And  I  will  lay  it 
waste:  it  shall  not  be  pruned  nor 
digged;  but  there  shall  come  up 
briers  and  thorns:  I  will  also  com- 
mand the  clouds  that  they  rain 
no  rain  upon  it. 

Red  "Wine  Vineyard. 
Isa.  .\xvii,  2,  3.  In  that  day  sing 
ye  unto  her,  A  vineyard  of  red 
wine.  I  the  Lord  do  keep  it;  1 
will  water  it  every  moment:  lest 
any  hurt  it,  I  will  keep  it  night 
and  day. 

Eagles  and  Vine-treb. 
Ezek.  xvii,  3-8.  And  say.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  Gou,  A  great  eagle 
with  great  wings,  long-winged, 
full  of  feathers,  which  had  divers 
colours,  came  unto  Lebanon,  and 
took  the  highest  branch  of  the 
cedar:  He  cropped  off  the  top  of 
his  young  twigs,  and  carried  it 
Into  a  land  of  trafRck;  he  set  it  in 
a  city  ol  merchants.  He  took  also 
of  the  seed  of  the  land,  and  planted 
it  in  a  fruitful  fleld;  he  placed  it 
by  gieat  waters,  and  set  it  as  a 
willow-tree;  And  it  grew,  and 
became  a  spreading  vine  of  low 
stature,  whose  branches  turned 
toward  him,  and  the  roots  thereof 
were  under  him:  so  it  became  a 
vine,  and  brought  forth  branches, 
and  shot  forth  sprigs.  There  was 
also  another  great  eagle  with 
great  wings  and  many  feathers: 
and,  behold,  this  vine  did  bend 
her  roots  toward  him,  and  sliot 
forth  her  branches  toward  him, 


that  he  might  water  it  by  the 
furrows  of  her  plantation.  It  was 
planted  in  a  good  soil  by  great 
waters,  that  it  might  bring  forth 
branches,  and  that  it  might  bear 
fruit,  that  it  might  be  a  goodly 
vine. 

Lioness. 
EzeJc.  xix,  1-9.  Moreover,  take 
thou  up  a  lamentation  for  the 
princes  of  Israel,  And  say.  What 
is  thy  mother?  A  lioness:  she  lay 
down  among  lions,  she  nourished 
her  whelps  among  young  lions. 
And  she  brought  up  one  of  her 
whelps:  it  became  a  young  lion, 
and  it  learned  to  catch  the  prey; 
it  devoured  men.  The  nations 
also  heard  of  him;  he  was  taken  in 
their  pit,  and  they  brought  him 
with  chains  unto  the  laud  of 
Egypt.  Now  when  she  saw  that 
she  had  waited,  and  her  hope  was 
lost,  then  she  took  another  of  her 
whelps,  a7id  made  him  a  young 
lion.  And  he  went  up  and  down 
among  the  lions,  he  became  a 
young  lion,  and  learned  to  catch 
the  prey,  and  devoured  men.  And 
he  knew  their  desolate  palaces, 
and  he  laid  waste  their  cities;  and 
the  land  was  desolate,  and  the  ful- 
ness thereof,  by  the  noise  of  his 
roaring.  Then  the  nations  set 
against  hhn  on  every  side  from 
the  provinces,  and  spread  their 
net  over  him:  he  was  taken  in  their 
pit.  And  they  put  him  in  ward  in 
chains,  and  brought  him  to  the 
king  of  Babylon  :  they  brought 
him  into  holds,  that  his  voice 
should  no  more  be  heard  upon  the 
mountains  of  Israel. 

CHRIST'S  PARABLES. 

Matth.  xiii,  10-13,  34, 35, 53.  And 
the  di.>;ciples  came,  and  said  unto 
him,  Why  speakest  thou  unto 
them  in  parables?  He  answered 
and  said  unto  them,  Because  it  is 
given  unto  you  to  know  the  mys- 
teries of  the  kingdom  of  heaven, 
but  to  them  it  is  not  given.  For 
whosoever  hath,  to  him  shall  be 
given,  and  he  shall  have  more 
abundance;  but  whosoever  hath 
not,  from  him  shall  be  taken 
away  even  that  he  hath.  There- 
fore speak  I  to  them  in  parables: 
because  they  seeing,  see  not; 
and  hearing,  they  hear  not;  neither 
do  they  understand.  All  these 
things  spake  Jesus  unto  the  mul- 
titude in  parables;  and  without  a 
parable  spake  he  not  unto  them: 
That  it  might  be  fulfilled  which 
was  spoken  by  the  prophet,  say- 
ing, 1  will  open  my  mouth  in 
parables;  I  will  utter  things  which 
have  been  kept  secret  from  the 
foundation  of  the  Avorld.  And  it 
came  to  pass,  that  when  Jesus 
had  finished  these  parables,  he 
departed  thence. 

Mark  iv,  2,  33,  34.  And  he 
519 


taught  them  many  things  by 
parables,  and  said  unto  them  in 
his  doctrine.  And  with  many 
such  parables  spake  he  the  word 
unto  them,  as  tliey  were  ablp  to 
hear  it.  But  without  a  parable 
spake  he  not  unto  the:n:and  when 
they  were  alone,  he  expounded 
all  things  to  his  disciples. 

L7ike  viil,  4,  And  when  much 
people  were  gathered  together, 
and  were  come  to  him  out  of 
every  city,  he  spake  by  a  parable. 

Luke  XV,  3.  And  he  spake  this 
parable  unto  them,  saying. 

Luke  xix,  11.  And  as  they  heard 
these  tilings,  he  added  and  spake 
a  parable,  because  he  was  nigb  to 
Jerusnlem,  and  because  they 
thought  that  the  kingdom  of  God 
should  immediately  appear. 

2.  PARABLES  IN  THE  NEW 

TESTAMENT. 

The  Two  Foundations. 

Matth.  vii,  24-27.  Therefore, 
whosoever  heareth  these  sayings 
of  mine,  and  doeth  them,  I  will 
liken  him  unto  a  wise  man,  which 
built  his  house  upon  a  rock;  And 
the  rain  descended,  and  the  floods 
came,  and  the  winds  blew,  and 
beat  upon  that  house;  and  it  fell 
not:  for  it  was  founded  upon  a 
rock.  An(\  every  one  that  hear- 
eth these  sayings  of  mine,  and 
doeth  them  not,  shall  be  likened 
unto  a  foolish  man,  which  built 
his  house  upon  the  sand;  And  the 
rain  descended,  and  the  floods 
came,  and  the  winds  blew,  and 
beat  upon  that  house;  and  it  fell: 
and  great  was  the  fail  ol  it. 

Tabes. 

MattJi.  xiii,  24-30.  Another  par- 
able  put  he  forth  unto  them,  say- 
ing. The  kingdom  of  heaven  is 
likened  unto  a  man  which  sowed 
good  seed  in  his  field:  But  while 
men  slept,  his  enemy  came  and 
sowed  tares  among  the  wheat, 
and  went  his  way.  But  when  the 
blade  was  sprung  up,  and  brought 
forth  fruit,  then  appeared  the 
tares  also.  So  the  servants  of  the 
hiiuseliolder  came  and  said  unto 
him.  Sir,  didst  thou  not  sow  good 
seed  in  thy  fleld?  from  whence 
then  hath  it  tares?  He  said  unto 
them.  An  enemy  hath  done  this. 
The  servants  said  unto  him.  Wilt 
thou  then  that  we  go  and  gather 
them  up?  But  he  said.  Nay;  lest, 
wldle  ye  gatlier  up  the  tares,  ye 
root  up  also  the  wiieat  with  them. 
Let  both  grow  together  until  the 
harvest:  and  in  the  time  of  harvest 
I  will  say  to  the  reapers,  Gather 
ye  together  first  the  tares,  and 
bind  them  in  bundles  to  burn 
them;  hut  gather  the  wheat  into 
my  barn. 


PARABLES  AND  EMBLEMS. 


SrusTAnn  Seed. 
Luke  xVu,  18, 19.  Then  said  lie, 
Unto  what  is  the  kingdom  of  God 
like?  and  whereunto  shall  I  re- 
gemble  it?  It  Is  like  a  grain  of 
mustard-seed,  wliicli  a  man  took, 
and  cast  into  his  garden;  and  it 
grew,  and  wjixed  agreat  tree;  and 
the  fowls  of  the  air  lodged  in  the 
branches  of  it. 

Leavek. 
Matth.TAW.ZZ.  Another  parable 
Bpake  lie  unto  them;  The  kingdom 
of  heaven  is  like  unto  Inaven, 
which  a  woman  took  and  hid  in 
three  measures  of  meal,  till  the 
whole  was  leavened. 

Teeasure  Found. 

Matth.  xiii,  44.  Again,  the  king- 
dom of  heaven  is  like  unto  treas- 
ure hid  in  a  field;  the  which  when 
a  man  hath  found,  he  hideth,  and 
for  joy  thereof  goeth  and  selleth 
all  that  he  hatli,  and  Luv  eth  that 
field. 

FisiiiNa. 

Jf 7«ft.  xiii,  47,  48.  Again,  the 
kingdom  if  heaven  is  like  unto  a 
net,  that  was  cast  into  the  sea, 
and  gathered  of  every  kind: 
Which,  when  it  was  full,  they 
drew  to  shore,  and  sat  down,  and 
gatliered  the  good  into  vessels, 
but  cast  the  bad  away. 

Debtoes  and  Creditors. 

3Iatth.  xviii,  23-34.  Therefore 
Is  the  kingdom  of  heaven  likened 
unto  a  certain  king,  which  wuuM 
take  account  of  his  servants.  And 
when  he  had  begun  (o  reckon, 
one  was  brought  unto  him,  which 
owed  him  ten  thousand  talents: 
But  forasmuch  as  he  had  not  to 
pay,  his  lord  commanded  him  to 
be  sold,  and  his  wife  and  c'liMren, 
and  all  that  he  had,  and  payment 
to  be  ma.'ie.  The  servant,  there- 
fore fell  down  and  worshipped 
Lim,  saying,  Lord,  have  patience 
with  me,  and  I  will  pay  tliee  all. 
Then  the  Lord  of  that  servant 
was  moved  with  compassion,  and 
loosed  him,  and  forgave  him  the 
debt.  But  the  same  servant  went 
out,  and  found  one  of  his  fellow- 
servants,  which  owed  him  ai»  hun- 
dred pence;  and  he  laid  hands  on 
him,  and  took  him  by  the  throat, 
saying.  Pay  me  that  thou  owest. 
And  his  fellow-servant  tell  down 
at  his  feet,  and  besought  him, 
(Saying,  Have  patience  with  me, 
and  1  will  pay  thee  all.  And  he 
would  not;  h\it  went  and  Ciist  him 
Into  prison,  till  he  should  pay  the 
debt.  So  when  his  lelluw- ser- 
vants saw  what  was  done,  they 
were  very  soriy  and  came  and 
told  unto  their  lord  all  that  was 
done.  Then  his  lord,  after  that 
be  ha<l  called  him,  said  unio  him, 
O  thou  wicked  servant,  1  forgave 


thee  all  that  debt,  because  thou 
desiredst  me:  Shouldest  not  thou 
also  have  had  compassion  on  thy 
fellow-servant,  even  as  I  had  pity 
on  thee?  And  his  lord  was  wroth, 
and  delivered  him  to  the  tormen- 
tors, till  he  should  pay  all  that 
was  due  unto  bim. 

Day  Labourers. 

Matt.  XX,  1-16.  For  the  kingdom 
of  heaven  is  like  unto  a  man  that 
is  an  householder,  which  went  out 
early  in  the  morning  to  hire 
labourers  into  his  vineyard.  A  nd 
when  he  had  agreed  with  the 
labourers  for  a  penny  a-day,  he 
sent  them  into  his  vineyard.  And 
he  went  out  about  the  third  hour, 
and  saw  others  standing  idle  in  the 
market-place.  And  he  said  unto 
them,  Go  ye  also  into  the  vine- 
yard; and  whatsover  is  right  I  will 
give  you.  And  they  went  their 
way.  Again  be  went  out  about 
the  sixth  and  ninth  hour,  and  did 
likewise.  And  about  the  eleventh 
hour  be  went  out,  and  found 
others  standing  idle,  and  saith 
unto  them,  Wiiy  stand  ye  hero  all 
the  day  idle?  They  say  unto  him. 
Because  no  man  bath  hired  us. 
He  saith  unto  them.  Go  ye  also 
into  the  vineyard;  and  whatsoever 
is  right,  that  shall  ye  receive.  So 
when  even  was  come,  the  lord  of 
the  vineyard  saith  unto  his  stew- 
ard, Call  the  labourers,  and  give 
them  their  hire,  beginning  from 
the  last  unto  the  first.  And  when 
they  came  that  ioere  hired  about 
the  eleventh  hour,  they  received 
every  man  a  penny.  But  when 
the  first  came,  they  supposed 
that  they  should  have  received 
more;  and  they  likewise  received 
every  man  a  penny.  And  when 
they  had  received  it,  they  mur- 
mured against  the  goodman  of  the 
liouse.  Saying,  These  last  have 
wrought  but  one  hour,  and  thou 
hast  made  them  equal  unto  us, 
which  liave  borne  the  burden  and 
heat  of  the  day.  But.  he  answered 
one  of  them,  and  said,  Friend,  I 
do  thee  no  wrong:  didst  not  thou 
agree  with  me  for  a  penny?  Take 
that  thine  is,  and  go  thy  way:  I 
will  give  unto  this  last  even  as 
unto  thee.  Is  it  not  lawful  lor  me 
to  do  what  I  will  with  mine  own? 
J 8  thine  eye  evil,  because  I  am 
good?  So  the  last  shall  be  first, 
and  the  first  last:  ior  many  be 
called,  but  few  chosen. 

The  Two  Sons. 

Matt,  xxi,  28-31.  But  what 
think  ye?  A  certain  man  had  two 
sons;  and  he  came  to  the  first,  and 
said,  Son,  go  work  to-day  in  my 
vineyard.  He  anwered  and  said, 
1  will  not:  but  afterwards  he  re- 
pented, and  went.  And  he  came 
to  the  second,  and  said  likewise. 
And  be  answered  and  said,  I  go, 
520 


sir;  nnd  went  not.  Whether  of 
them  twain  did  the  will  of  Ms 
father?  They  siy  unto  him.  the 
first.  Jesus  suith  unto  them, 
Verily  I  say  unto  yon.  That  the 
publicans  and  the  harlots  go  into 
the  kingdom  of  God  before  you. 

Makkiage  Feast. 
Matt,  xxii,  1-14.  And  Jesus 
answered,  and  spake  unto  them 
again  by  parables,  and  s;iid,  The 
kingdom  of  heaven  is  like  imto  a 
certain  king,  which  made  a  mar- 
riage for  his  son,  And  sent  forth 
his  servants  to  call  them  that  were 
bidden  to  the  wedding:  and  they 
would  not  come.  Again,  he  sent 
forth  other  servnnls,  saying.  Tell 
them  which  are  bidden,  Behold, 
I  have  prepared  my  dinner:  my 
oxen  and  my  fallings  are  killed, 
and  all  things  are  ready:  come 
unto  the  marriage.  But  they 
made  light  of  it  and  went  their 
ways,  one  to  his  farm,  another  to 
his  merchandise.  And  the  rem- 
nant took  his  servants,  and  en- 
treated them  spitefully,  and  slew 
them.  But  when  the  king  heard 
thereof,  he  was  wroth:  nnd  lie  sent 
forth  his  armies,  and  destroyed 
those  murderers,  and  burned' up 
their  city.  Then  saith  he  to  his 
servants,  The  wedding  is  ready, 
but  they  wliich  were  bidden  were 
not  worthy.  Go  ye  therefore  into 
the  highways,  and  as  many  as  ye 
shall  find,  bid' to  the  marriage.  So 
those  servants  went  out  into  tlio 
highways,  and  gathered  together 
all,  as  many  as  they  found,  both 
bad  and  gf^od:  and  the  wedding 
was  furnished  with  guests.  And 
Avhen  the  king  came  in  to  see  the 
guests,  he  saw  there  a  man  which 
b;id  not  on  a  wedding  g.Mrment; 
And  he  saith  unto  him,  Friend, 
how  camest  thou  in  hither  not 
having  a  wedding  garment?  And 
he  was  speechless.  Then  said  the 
king  to  the  servanis,  Bind  him 
hand  and  foot,  and  take  him 
away,  and  cast  him  into  outer 
darkness;  there  shall  he  weeping 
and  gnashing  of  teeth.  For  many 
are  called,  but  few  are  chosen. 

Ten  Virgins. 
Matt.  XXV,  1-12.  Then  shall  the 
kingdom  of  heaven  be  likened 
unto  ten  virgins,  which  took  their 
lamps,  and  went  forth  to  meet  the 
bridegroom.  And  five  of  them 
were  wise,  and  five  loere  foolish. 
They  that  loere  loolish  took  their 
lamps,  but  took  no  oil  with  them: 
But  the  wise  took  oil  in  their  ves- 
sels with  their  lamps.  While  tlie 
bridegroom  tarried,  they  all 
slumbered  and  slept.  And  at 
midnight  there  was  a  cry  made, 
Behold,  the  bridegroom  cometh; 
go  ye  out  to  meet  him.  Then  all 
tliose  virgins  arose,  and  trimmed 
their  lamps.    And  the  foolish  said 


PARABLES  AND  EMBLEMS, 


onto  the  wise,  Give  ns  of  your  oil; 
for  our  lamps  are  gone  out.  Hut 
the  wise  answered,  saying,  Not  so; 
lest  there  be  not  enough  tor  us 
and  you:  but  go  ye  rather  to  tliem 
that  sell,  and  buy  for  yourselves. 
And  while  tliey  went  to  buy,  the 
bridegroom  came;  and  they  that 
•were  ready  went  in  with  him  to  the 
marriage:  and  the  d(jor  was  shut. 
Afterward  came  also  the  other 
virgins,  saying,  Lord,  Lord,  open 
to  us.  But  he  answered  and  said, 
Verily  1  say  unto  you,  I  know  you 
not. 

Talents. 
Matth.  XXV,  14--29.  For  the  Ung- 
dom  of  hecfvcn  is  as  a  man  travel- 
ling into  a  tar  country,  loho  called 
bis  own  servants,  and  dtlivered 
unto  them  his  goods.  And  unto 
one  he  gave  five  talents,  to  anotlier 
two,  and  to  anotlier  one;  to  every 
mm  according  to  his  several 
ability;  and  straightway  toolc  his 
Journey.  Tlien  he  tliat  had  re- 
ceived the  five  talents  went  and 
traded  with  tlie  same,  and  made 
them  other  five  talents.  And  like- 
wise he  that  had  received  two,  lie 
also  gained  otiier  two.  But  he 
that  had  received  one  went  and 
digged  in  tlie  earth,  and  hid  lils 
lord's  money.  Alter  a  long  time 
the  lord  of  those  servants  cometh, 
and  reckoneth  with  thein.  And 
so  he  that  had  received  five 
I  talents  came  and  bruuglit   other 

five  talents,  saying,  Lord,  tliou 
deliveredst  unto  me  five  talents: 
behold,  I  have  gained  besides 
them  five  talents  more.  His  lord 
said  unto  him.  Well  done,  thou 
good  and  faiMiful  servant;  thou 
hast  been  faithful  over  a  few 
things,  I  will  make  thee  ruler  over 
many  things:  enter  thou  into  the 
joy  of  thy  lord.  He  also  that  had 
received  two  talents  came  and 
said,  Lord,  thou  deliveredst  unto 
me  two  talents:  behold,  I  have 
gained  two  otiier  talents  besides 
them.  His  lord  said  unto  him, 
Well  done,  good  and  faithful  ser- 
vant; thou  hast  been  faithful  over 
a  few  tilings,  I  will  make  thee 
ruler  over  many  things:  enter 
thou  into  the  joy  of  thy  lord.  Then 
he  which  had  received  the  one 
talent  came  and  said.  Lord,  I 
knew  thee  that  thou  art  an  hard 
man,  reaping  where  thou  hast  not 
sown,  and  gathering  where  thou 
hast  not  strawed :  And  I  was 
afraid,  and  went  and  hid  thy 
talent  in  the  earth:  lo,  there  thou 
hast  that  is  thine.  His  lord  an- 
swered and  said  unto  him.  Thou 
wicked  and  slothful  servant,  tliou 
knewest  that  I  reap  where  I 
sowed  not,  and  gather  where  I 
have  not  strawed;  Thou  ought  est 
therefore  to  have  put  my  money 
to  the  e.xchangers,  and  then  at  my 
coming  I  shuuld  have  received 
mine   own  with   usury.     Take 


therefore  the  talent  from  him,  and 
give  it  unto  him  which  hath  ten 
talentfi.  For  unto  every  one  that 
hath  shall  be  given,  and  he  shall 
have  abundance:  but  from  him 
that  hath  not,  shall  be  taken  away 
even  that  which  he  hath. 

S  OWEB. 

3rarJc  iv,  3-9.  Hearken;  Behold, 
there  went  out  a  sower  to  sow: 
And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  sowed, 
some  fell  by  the  way-side,  and  the 
fowls  of  the  air  came  and  de- 
voured it  up.  AQd  some  fell  on 
stony  ground,  where  it  had  not 
much  earth;  and  Immediately  It 
sprang  up,  because  it  had  no 
depth  of  earth:  But  when  the 
sun  was  up,  it  was  scorched;  and, 
because  it  had  no  root,  it  withered 
away.  And  some  fell  among 
thorns,  and  the  thorns  grew  up 
and  choked  it,  and  it  jielded  no 
fruit.  And  other  fell  on  good 
ground,  and  did  yield  fiuit  tluit 
sprang  up,  and  increased,  and 
brouglit  torth,  some  thirty,  and 
some  sixty,  and  some  an  hundred. 
And  he  said  unto  them.  He  that 
hath  ears  to  hear,  let  him  hear. 

Seed  Springing  up 
Imperceptibly. 
Mark  Iv,  26-29.  And  he  snid.  So 
is  the  kingdom  of  God,  as  if  a  man 
should  cast  seed  into  the  ground; 
And  should  sleep,  and  rise  night 
and  day,  and  the  seed  should 
spring  and  grow  up,  he  knoweth 
nut  how.  For  the  earth  bringeth 
forth  fruit  of  herself;  first  the 
blade,  then  the  ear,  after  that  the 
full  corn  in  the  ear.  But  when 
the  fruit  is  brought  forth,  imme- 
diately he  putteth  in  the  sickle, 
because  the  harvest  is  come. 

Husbandmen. 
Mark  xii,  1-9,  And  he  began  to 
speak  unto  them  by  parables.  A 
certain  man  planted  a  vineyard, 
and  set  an  hedge  about  it,  and 
digged  a  place  for  the  wine-fat, 
and  built  a  to-ver,  and  let  it  out  to 
husbindmen,  and  went  into  a  far 
country.  And  at  the  season  he 
sent  to  the  husbandmen  a  servant, 
that  he  might  receive  from  the 
husbandmen  of  the  fruit  of  the 
vineyard.  And  they  caught  him, 
and  beat  him,  and  sent  him  away 
empty.  And  again  he  sent  unto 
tliem  anotlier  servant;  and  at  him 
they  cast  stones,  and  wounded 
him  in  the  head,  and  sent  Mm 
away  shamefully  handled.  And 
again  he  sent  another;  and  him 
they  killed,  and  many  others; 
beating  some,  and  killing  some. 
Having  yet  therefore  one  son,  his 
well-beloved,  he  sent  him  also  last 
unto  them,  saying.  They  will 
reverence  my  son.  But  those 
husbandmen  said  among  them- 
selves, This  is  the  heir;  come,  let 
621 


ns  kill  him,  and  the  Inheritance 
shall  be  ours.  And  they  took 
him,  and  killed  him  and  cast  Mm 
out  of  the  vineyard.  What  shall 
theietore  the  lord  of  the  vineyard 
do?  lie  will  come  and  destroy  the 
husbandm<n,  and  will  give  the 
vineyard  unto  others. 

Blind  Guide. 
Lukt  vi,  39.   And  he  spake  a 
parai)le  unto  them.  Can  the  blind 
lead  tlie  blind?  shall  the/ not  both 
faU  into  the  ditch? 

Midnight  Visitor. 
Luke  xi,  5--8.  And  he  said  unto 
them.  Which  of  you  shall  have  a 
friend,  and  shall  go  unto  him  at 
midnight,  and  say  unto  Inm, 
Friend,  lend  me  three  loaves; 
For  a  friend  of  mine  in  his  Journey 
is  come  to  me,  and  1  have  nothing 
to  set  before  hiin?  And  he  from 
within  shall  answer  and  say. 
Trouble  me  not:  the  door  Is  now 
shut,  and  my  children  are  with  me 
in  bed;  I  cannot  rise  and  give  thee. 
I  say  unto  you,  Though  he  will 
not  rise  and  give  him,  because  he 
is  his  friend;  yet,  because  of  his 
importunity,  lie  will  rise  and  give 
him  as  many  as  he  needeth. 

Unclean  Spirit. 
Luke  xi,  24-26.  When  the  un- 
clean spirit  is  gone  out  of  a  man, 
he  walketh  through  dry  places, 
seeking  rest;  and  finding  none,  he 
saith,  1  will  return  unto  my  house 
whence  1  came  out.  And  when 
he  Cometh,  he  flndeth  it  swept 
and*garnislied.  Then  goeth  he, 
and  taketh  to  Mm  seven  other 
spirits  more  wicked  than  him.self; 
and  they  enter  in,  and  dwell 
there :  and  the  last  state  of  that 
man  is  worse  than  the  first. 

Rich  Fool. 
Zm&c  xii,  16-21.  And  he  spake 
a  parable  unto  them,  saying,  The 
ground  of  a  certain  rich  man 
brought  forth  plentifully;  And  he 
thought  within  himself,  saying. 
What  shall  I  do,  because  1  have 
no  room  where  to  bestow  my 
fruits?  And  he  said.  This  will  I 
do:  I  will  pull  down  my  barns,  and 
build  greater;  and  there  will  I 
bestow  all  my  fruits  and  my  goods. 
And  I  will  say  to  my  soul,  Soul, 
tliou  hast  much  goods  laid  up  for 
many  years;  lake  thine  ease,  eat, 
drink,  and  be  merry.  But  God 
said  unto  him.  Thou  fool,  this 
night  thy  soul  shall  be  required  of 
tlit^e:  then  whose  shall  those 
things  be  which  thou  liast  pro- 
vided? bo  is  he  that  layeth  up 
treasure  for  himself,  and  is  not 
rich  toward  God. 

Barren  Fig-tree. 
Luke  xiii,  6-9.    He  spake  also 


PARABLES  AND  EMBLEMS, 


thl3  parable;  A  certain  man  had  a 
fig-tree  planted  in  his  vineyard; 
and  he  came  and  sought  fruit 
thereon,  and  found  none.  Then 
said  he  unto  the  dresser  of  his 
vineyard,  Behold,  these  three 
years  I  come  seeking  fruit  on  this 
fig-tree,  and  find  none:  cut  it 
down;  why  cumberetli  it  the 
ground?  And  he  answering,  said 
unto  liim,  Lord,  let  it  alone  this 
year  also,  till  I  sliall  dig  about  it, 
and  dung  it:  And  if  it  bear  fruit, 
well;  and  if  not,  then  after  that 
thou  Shalt  cut  it  down. 

Great  Supper. 
Luke  xiv,  16-24.  Tlien  said  he 
unto  him,  A  certain  man  made  a 
great  supper,  and  bade  many: 
And  sent  liis  servant  at  supper 
time  to  say  to  them  that  were 
biilden,  Come;  for  all  tilings  are 
now  ready.  And  they  all  with 
one  consent  began  to  make  ex- 
cuse. The  first  said  unto  him,  I 
have  bought  a  piece  of  ground, 
and  I  must  needs  go  and  see  it:  I 
pray  tliee  have  me  excused.  And 
another  said,  I  have  bought  live 
yoke  of  oxen,  and  J  go  to  prove 
them:  I  pray  thee  have  me  excused. 
And  another  said,  I  iiave  married 
a  wife;  and  tlierefore  I  cannot 
come.  So  tliat  servant  came,  and 
showed  his  lord  these  things. 
Then  the  master  of  the  housn, 
being  angry,  said  to  his  servant, 
Go  out  quickly  into  tlie  streets 
and  lanes  of  the  city,  and  bring  in 
hither  tlie  poor,  and  the  maimed, 
and  the  halt,  and  the  blind.  And 
the  servasit  said.  Lord,  it  is  done 
as  tliou  hast  commanded,  and  yet 
there  is  room.  And  tiie  lord  said 
unto  the  servant,  Go  out  into  the 
highways  and  hedges,  and  compel 
them  to  come  in,  that  my  house 
may  be  filled.  For  I  say  unto 
you,  That  none  of  those  men 
which  were  bidden  shall  taste  of 
my  supper. 

Lo-T  Sheep. 
Luke  XV,  4  6.  What  man  of  you, 
having  an  hundred  sheep,  if  he 
lose  one  of  them,  doth  not  leave 
the  ninety  and  nine  in  the  Nvllder- 
ness,  and  go  after  tliat  which  is 
lost,  until  he  find  it?  And  when 
he  hath  found  it,  he  layeth  it  on 
his  shoulders  rejoicing.  And 
when  he  comelh  home,  he  callelh 
together  his  triends  and  neigh- 
bours, saying  unto  them.  Rejoice 
with  me;  for  1  have  fouud  my 
Bheep  which  was  lost. 

Lost  Monet. 
Luke  XV,  8,  9-  Either  what 
woman,  having  ten  pieces  of 
silver,  if  she  lose  one  piece,  doth 
not  light  a  candle,  and  sweep  the 
house,  and  seek  diligently  till  she 
find  itf  And  when  she  hath 
(uuud  it,  she  calleth  /ter  irlonds 


and  her  neighbours  together,  say- 
ing, Rejoice  with  me;  for  I  have 
found  the  piece  which  I  had  lost. 

Peodigal  Sok. 
Luke  XV,  11-32.  And  he  said,  A 
certain  man  had  two  sons:  And 
tlie  younger  of  them  said  to  his 
father.  Father,  give  me  the  por- 
tion of  goods  that  falleth  tome. 
And  he  divided  unto  them  his 
living.  And  not  many  days  after, 
the  younger  son  gathered  all  to- 
gether, and  took  his  journey  into 
a  far  country,  and  there  wasted 
his  substance  with  riotous  living. 
And  when  he  had  spent  all,  there 
arose  a  mlglity  famine  in  that 
land;  and  he  began  to  be  in  want. 
And  he  went  and  joined  himself 
to  a  citizen  of  that  country;  and 
he  sent  him  into  his  fields  to  feed 
swine.  And  he  would  fain  have 
filled  his  belly  with  the  husks 
that  the  swine  did  eat:  and  no 
man  gave  unto  him.  And  when 
he  came  to  himself,  he  said,  How 
many  hired  servants  of  my 
father's  have  bread  enough,  and 
to  spare,  and  I  perish  witli  hun- 
gerl  I  will  arise,  and  go  to  my 
father,  and  will  say  unto  him, 
Fatlier,  I  have  sinned  against 
Heaven,  and  before  thee,  And  am 
no  more  worthy  to  be  called  tliy 
son:  make  me  as  one  of  thy  hired 
servants.  And  lie  arose,  and  came 
to  his  father.  But  when  he  was 
yet  a  great  way  off,  his  father  saw 
him,  and  had  compassion,  and  ran, 
and  fell  on  his  neck,  and  kissed 
him.  And  the  son  said  unto  him. 
Father,  I  have  sinned  against 
Heaven,  and  in  thy  sight,  and  am 
no  more  worthy  to  be  called  thy 
son.  But  the  father  said  to  his 
servants.  Bring  forth  the  best 
robe,  and  put  it  on  him;  and  put  a 
ring  on  his  liand,  and  shoes  on  his 
feet:  And  bring  hither  the  fatted 
calf,  and  kill  it;  and  let  us  eat, 
and  be  merry;  For  this  ray  son 
was  dead,  and  Is  alive  again;  he 
was  lost,  and  is  found.  And  they 
began  to  be  merry.  Now  his 
elder  son  was  in  the  field:  and  as 
he  came  and  drew  nigh  to  the 
house,  he  heard  musick  and  danc- 
ing. And  he  called  one  of  the 
servants,  and  asked  what  these 
things  meant.  And  he  said  unto 
him.  Thy  brother  is  come;  and  thy 
lather  hath  killed  the  fatted  calt, 
because  he  hath  received  him  sale 
and  sound.  And  he  was  angry, 
and  would  not  go  in:  theretoro 
camellia  father  out,  and  entreat- 
ed him.  And  he  answering  said 
to  his  father,  Lo,  these  many 
years  do  1  serve  thee;  neitlur 
transgressed  I  at  any  time  ihy 
commandment;  and  yet  thou 
never  gavest  me  a  kid,  that  1 
mUht  make  merry  with  my 
friends:  But  as  soon  as  tliis  thy 
son  was  come,  which  hatli  de- 
voured thy  livlnrr  with  harlots, 


thou  hast  killed  for  htm  the 
fatted  calf.  And  he  said  unto 
him,  Son,  thou  art  ever  with  me, 
and  all  that  I  have  is  thine.  It 
was  meet  that  we  should  make 
merry,  and  be  glad:  for  this  thy 
brother  was  dead,  and  is  alive 
again;  and  was  lost,  and  is  fouud. 

Unjust  Steward. 
Luke  xvi,  1-8  And  he  said  also 
unto  his  disciples,  There  was  a 
certain  rich  man  which  had  a 
steward;  and  the  same  was  ac- 
cused unto  him  that  he  had 
wasted  his  goods.  And  he  called 
him,  and  said  unto  him.  How  is 
it  that  I  hear  this  of  thee?  give  an 
account  of  thy  stewardship;  for 
thou  mayest  be  do  longer  stew- 
ard. Then  the  steward  said 
within  himself.  What  shall  I  do? 
for  my  lord  taketh  away  from  me 
the  stewardship:  I  cannot  dig;  to 
beg  I  am  ashamed.  I  am  resolv- 
ed what  to  do,  that,  when  I  am 
put  out  of  the  stewardship,  they 
may  receive  me  into  their  houses. 
So  he  called  every  one  of  his 
lord's  debtors  unto  him,  and  said 
unto  the  first.  How  much  owest 
thou  unto  my  lord?  And  he  said, 
An  hundred  measures  of  oiL  And 
he  said  unto  him,  Take  thy  bill, 
and  sit  down  quickly,  and  write 
fifty.  Then  said  he  to  another.  And 
how  much  owest  thou?  And  he 
said.  An  hundred  measures  of 
wlieat.  And  he  said  unto  him. 
Take  thy  bill,and  write  fourscore. 
And  the  lord  commended  the  un- 
just steward,  because  he  had  done 
wisely:  for  the  children  of  this 
world  are  in  their  generation  wiser 
than  the  children  of  light. 

Rich  and  Poor. 
Luke  xvi.  19-31.  There  was  a 
certain  rich  man,  which  was 
clothed  in  purple  and  tine  linen, 
and  fared  sumptuously  every  day: 
And  there  was  a  certain  beggar 
named  Lazarus,  wliicli  was  laid  at 
his  gate  lull  of  son  s.  And  desir- 
ing to  be  Jed  with  the  crumbs 
which  fell  from  tlie  rich  man's 
tabie:  moreover  the  dogs  came  and 
licked  his  sores.  Anditcameto 
pass,  that  tlie  beggar  died,  and  was 
carried  by  tlie  angels  into  Abra- 
ham's bosom:  the  ricti  man  also 
died,  and  was  burled;  And  lu  hell 
he  lilted  up  his  eyes,  being  In  tor- 
ments, and  seeth  Abraham  afar 
ott,and  Lazarus  in  his  bosom.  And 
he  crieil  and  said,  Father  Abra- 
ham, have  mercy  on  me,  and  send 
Laz  irus,  that  he  may  dip  the  tip 
of  his  finger  In  water,  and  cool  my 
tongue;  for  1  am  tormented  in  this 
fluiie.  But  Abraham  said,  Son, 
remember  that  thou  in  thy  life- 
time receivedst  thy  good  things: 
and  likewise  l.azarns  evil  things: 
but  now  he  iscointorted  and  thou 
art  tormmted.    And   beside    all

this,  between  ns  and  yon  there  Is 
a  great  gulf  fixed:  so  that  they 
which  would  pass  Irom  hence  to 
you  cannot;  neither  can  they  pass 
to  us.that  would  come  from  thence. 
Then  he  said,  I  pray  thee  there- 
fore, fatlier,  that  thou  wouldest 
send  him  to  my  lather's  house: 
For  I  have  five  bretiiren;  that  he 
may  testify  unto  them,  lest  they 
also  come  into  this  place  of  tor- 
ment. Abraliam  sail  h  unto  him, 
They  have  Moses  and  the  pro- 
pliets;  let  them  hear  tliem.  And 
he  said,  Nay,  father  Abraham:  but 
If  one  went  unto  them  from  the 
dead,  they  will  repent.  And  he 
8:iid  unto  him,  If  they  hear  not 
Moses  and  the  prophets,  neither 
will  they  be  persuaded  though  one 
rose  from  the  dead. 

Unjust  Juoae  and  Importunate 
Widow. 
Lu7:e  xviii,  2-6.  Saying,  There 
was  in  a  city  a  judge,  which  feared 
not  God,  neither  regarded  man: 
And  there  was  a  widow  in  that 
city;  and  she  came  unto  him,  say- 
ing. Avenge  me  of  mine  adversary. 
And  he  would  not  for  a  wliile:  but 
afterwards  he  said  within  himself. 
Though  I  fear  not  God,  nor  regard 
man;  Yet,  because  this  widow 
troubleth  me,  I  will  avenge  her, 
lest  by  her  continual  coming  she 
weary  me.  And  the  Lord  said. 
Hear  what  the  unjust  judge 
saith. 

Pharisee  and  Publicah. 

Luke  xviii,  9-14.  And  he  epake 
this  parable  unto  certain  which 
trusted  in  themselves  that  they 
were  rigliteous,  and  despised 
others:  Two  men  went  up  into  the 
temple  to  pray;  the  one  a  Pliarisee, 
and  the  otlier  a  publican.  The 
Pharisee  stood  and  prayed  thus 
with  himself,  God,  I  thanlc  thee, 
that  I  am  not  as  other  men  are, 
extortioners,  unjust,  adulterers,  or 
even  as  this  publican.  1  fast  twice 
in  the  week,  1  give  tithes  of  all 
that  I  possess.  And  the  publican, 
standing  alar  off,  would  not  lift  up 
so  much  as  Ms  eyes  unto  heaven, 
but  smote  upon  his  breast,  saying, 
God  be  mercitul  tome  a  sinner.  1 
tell  you.  Tills  man  went  down  to 
his  house  justitiud  rather  than  the 
other:  tor  every  one  tliat  exalteth 
himself  shall  be  abased;  and  he 
that  humbleth  himself  sliall  be 
exalted. 

Ten  Pounds. 

LuJce  xix,  12-24.  He  said  there- 
fore, A  certain  nobleman  went 
into  a  far  country  to  receive  for 
himself  a  kingdom,  and  to  return. 
And  he  called  his  t-en  servants.and 
delivered  themten  p()und8,and8aid 
unto  them.  Occupy  till  I  come.  But 
his  citizen-  hated  hira,  and  sent  a 
message  after  liim.  saying,  We  will 
not  have  this  nia7t  to  reign  over 


us.  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
when  he  was  returned,  having  re- 
ceived the  kingdom,  then  he 
commanded  these  servants  to  be 
called  unto  him  to  whom  he  had 
given  the  money,  that  he  might 
know  how  much  every  man  had 
gained  by  trading.  Then  came 
the  first,  saying,  Lord,  thy  pound 
hath  gained  tea  pounds.  And  he 
said  unto  him.  Well,  thou  good 
servant:  because  tliou  hast  been 
faithful  in  a  very  little,  have  thou 
authority  over  ten  cities.  And  the 
second  came,  t^aying,  Lord,  thy 
pound  hath  gained  five  pounds. 
And  he  said  likewise  to  him,  Be 
thou  also  over  five  cities.  And 
another  came,  8aying,Lord,behold, 
here  is  thy  pound,  wliich  I  have 
kept  laid  up  in  a  napkin:  For  I 
feared  thee,  because  tliou  art  an 
austere  man:  th(ju  takest  up  that 
thou  layest  not  down,  and  reapest 
that  thou  didst  not  sow.  And  lie 
saith  unto  him.  Out  of  thine  own 
mouth  will  I  judge  thee,  tJiOU 
wicked  servant.  Thou  knew  est 
tliat  I  was  an  austere  man,  taking 
up  that  I  laid  not  down,  and  reap- 
ing that  I  did  not  sow.  Where- 
fore then  gavest  not  thou  my 
money  into  the  bank,  that  at  my 
coming  I  might  have  required 
mine  own  wiih  usury?  And  he 
said  unto  them  tliat  stood  by. 
Take  from  hira  the  pound,  and 
give  it  to  him  that  Lath  ten 
pounds. 

Veknal  Trees. 
Luke  xxi,  29-32.  And  he  spake 
to  them  a  parable;  Behold  the  fig- 
tree,  and  all  the  trees;  When 
they  now  shoot  forth,  ye  see  and 
know  of  your  own  selves  that  sum- 
mer is  now  nigh  at  hand.  So  like- 
wise ye,  when  ye  see  these  things 
come  to  pass,  know  ye  that  the 
kingdom  of  God  is  nigh  at  liand. 
Verily  I  say  unto  you.  This  gen- 
eration shall  not  pass  away  till 
all  be  fulfiiled. 

Shepherd. 
John  n,  1-5,  12,  13.  Verily, 
verily,  I  say  unto  you,  He  that 
entereth  not  by  the  door  into  the 
sheep-fold,  but  clinibeth  up  some

a  robber.  But  he  that  entereth 
in  by  the  door  is  the  eliepherd  of 
the  sheep.  To  him  the  porter 
openeth;  and  the  siieep  hear  his

sheep  by  name,  and  leadeth  them 
out.  And  when  he  putteth  forth 
his  own  sheep,  he  goeth  before 
them,  and  the  sheep  follow  him: 
for  tliey  know  liis  voice.  And  a 
stranger  will  they  not  follow,  but 
will  flee  from  him:  for  they  know 
not  the  voice  of  sirangers.  But 
lie  that  is  an  hireling,  and  not  the 
shepherd,  whose  own  the  sheep 
are  not,  seeth  the  wolf  coming, 
and  leaveth  the  sheep,  and  fleeth:

Cedar. 
Ezek.  xxxl,  2-13.  Son  of  man, 
Speak  unto  Pharaoh  king  of 
Egypt,  and  to  his  multiiude. 
Whom  art  thou  like  in  thy  greaU 
ness?  Behold,  the  Assyrian  nas 
a  cedar  in  Lebanon  with  fair 
branches,  and  with  a  shadowittgf 
sliroud,  and  of  an  high  stature; 
and  his  top  was  among  the  thick 
boughs.  The  waters  made  hiia 
great,  tiie  deep  setbimuponhigh 
with  her  rivers  running  round 
about  bis  plants,  and  sent  outlier 
little  rivers  unto  all  the  trees  of 
tlie  field.  Therefore  his  height 
was  exalted  above  all  the  trees  of 
the  field,  and  his  boughs  were 
multiplied,  and  his  brandies  be- 
came long,  because  of  the  multi- 
tude of  waters,  when  he  shot 
forth.  All  the  fowls  of  heaven 
made  their  nests  in  his  boughs, 
and  under  his  branches  did  all 
the  beasts  of  the  field  bring  forth 
their  young,  and  under  his  shadow 
dwelt  all  great  nations.  Thus 
was  he  fair  in  his  greatness,  in  the 
length  of  his  branches:  for  his 
root  was  by  great  waters.  The 
cedars  in  the  garden  of  God  could 
not  hide  him:  the  fir-trees  were 
not  lil<e  his  boughs,  and  the 
chesnut-trees  were  not  like  his 
brandies:  nor  any  tree  in  the 
garden  of  God  was  like  unto  him 
in  his  beauty,  I  have  made  him 
lair  by  the  multitude  of  his 
branches:  so  that  all  the  trees  of 
Eden,  that  were  in  the  garden  of 
God,  envied  him.  Therefore  thus 
saith  tlie  Lord  God,  Because  thou 
hast  lifted  up  thyself  in  height, 
and  he  hatti  shot  up  his  top 
among  the  thick  boughs,  and  his 
heart  is  lifted  up  in  his  heiglit; 
I  have  therefore  delivered  him 
into  the  hand  of  the  mighty  one 
of  the  heathen;  he  shall  surely 
deal  with  him:  I  have  driven  him 
out  for  his  wickedness.  And 
strangers,  the  terrible  of  the  na- 
tions, have  cut  him  off,  and  have 
left  him:  upon  the  mountains  and 
in  all  the  valleys  his  branches  are 
faUen,  and  his  boughs  are  broken 
by  all  the  rivers  of  the  land;  and 
all  the  people  of  the  earth  are 
gone  down  from  his  shadow,  and 
have  left  him.  Upon  his  ruin 
shall  all  the  fowls  of  the  heaven 
remain,  and  an  the  beasts  ..f  the 
field  shall  be  upon  his  branches.

unto  him,  Take  bow  and  arrows: 
and  he  took  unto  him  bow  and 
arrows.  And  he  said  to  the  kinj? 
of  Israel,  Put  tliine  hand  upon  the 
bow:  and  lie  put  Ids  hand  upon  it: 
and  Elishaput  his  hands  upon  the 
king's  hands.  And  he  said.  Open 
the  window  eastward;  and  he 
opened  it.  Tlien  Elisha  ?aid, 
Shoot:  and  he  shot.  And  he  said. 
The  arrow  of  tlie  Lord's  deliver- 
ance, and  the  arrow  of  deliverance 
from  Syria:  for  tliou  shalt  smite 
the  Syrians  In  Apliek,  till  thou 
have  consumed  them.  And  he 
said,  Take  the  arrows:  and  lie  took 
them.  And  he  said  unto  tlie  king 
of  Israel,  Smite  upon  tlie  ground: 
and  he  smote  thrice,  and  stayed. 
And  the  man  of  God  was  wroth 
with  him,  and  said,  Thou  sliould- 
est  have  smitten  five  or  six  times; 
then  hadst  tliou  smitten  Syria  till 
thou  hadst  consumed  it:  whereas 
now  thou  Shalt  smite  Syria  but 
thrice. 

Bottles. 

Jer.  xiii,  12.  Therefore  thou  shalt 
speak  unto  them  this  word,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  of  Israel, 
Every  bottle  shall  be  filled  with 
wine :  and  they  shall  say  unto 
thee,  Do  we  not  certainly  know 
that  every  bottle  shall  be  filled 
with  wine? 

Jer.  xix,  1,  10.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Go  and  get  a  potter's 
eirthen  bottle,  and  take  of  the 
ancients  of  the  people,  and  of  the 
ancients  of  the  priests.  Tiien 
stialt  thou  break  the  bottle  in  the 
sight  of  the  men  that  go  with 
thee. 

R  A  Z  O  B. 

Ezek.  V,  1,  3-5.  And  thou, son  of 
man,  take  thee  a  sharp  knife,  take 
thee  a  barber's  razor,  and  cause  it 
to  pass  upon  thine  head  and  upon 
thy  beard:  then  take  thee  balances 
to  weigh,  and  divide  the  hair. 
Tliou  slialt  also  take  thereof  a  few 
in  number,  and  bind  them  in  thy 
skirts.  Then  take  of  lliem  again, 
and  cast  them  into  the  midst  of  the 
fire,  and  burn  them  in  the  fire;/or 
thereof  shall  a  fire  come  forth  into 
all  the  house  of  Israel.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God,  Tlils  is  Jeru- 
salem: I  have  set  it  in  the  midst 
of  the  nations  and  countries  that 
art  round  about  her.

Compound  Animau 
Bev.  xiii,  1-3.  And  1  stood  upon 
the  sand  of  the  sea,  and  saw  a 
beast  rise  up  out  of  the  sea.  having 
seven  heads  and  ten  horns,  and 
upon  his  horns  ten  crowns,  and 
upon  his  heads  the  name  of  blas- 
phemy. And  the  beast  which  I 
saw  was  like  unto  a  leopard,  and 


his  feet  Avere  as  the  feet  of  a  bear, 
and  his  mouth  as  the  mouth  of  a 
lion:  and  the  dragon  gave  him  his 
power,  and  his  seat,  and  great 
authority.  And  1  saw  one  of  his 
heads  as  It  were  wound(^d  to 
death;  and  his  deadly  wound  was 
heuled:  and  all  the  world  won- 
dered after  the  beast. 

Candlestick. 
Zech.  iv,  1-5,  11-14.  And  the 
angel  that  talked  with  me  came 
again,  and  waked  me,  as  a  man 
that  Is  wakened  out  of  his  sleep 
And  said  unto  me,  What  seest 
thou?  And  I  said,  I  have  looked, 
and  behold  a  candlestick  all  of 
gold,  with  a  bowl  upon  the  top  of 
it,  and  ids  seven  lamps  thereon, 
and  seven  pipes  to  the  seven 
lamps  which  are  upon  the  top 
thereof;  And  two  olive-trees  by 
it,  one  upon  the  right  side  of  the 
bowl,  and  the  other  upon  the  left 
side  thereof.  So  I  answered  a' id 
spake  to  the  angel  that  talked 
with  me,  saying.  What  are  these, 
my  lord?  Then  the  angel  that 
talked  with  me  answered  and 
said  unto  me,  Knowest  thou  not 
what  these  be?  And  I  sai'l,  No, 
my  lord.  Then  answered  I,  and 
said  unto  him,  What  are  these 
two  olive-trees  upon  the  right  stcZe 
of  the  candlestick,  and  upon  the 
left  side  thereof?  And  I  answered 
again,  and  said  unto  him.  What 
he  these  two  olive-branches,  which 
through  the  golden  pipes  empty 
the  golden  oil  out  of  themselves? 
And  he  answered  me  and  said, 
Knowest  thou  not  what  these  bel 
And  I  said.  No,  my  lord.  Then 
said  he,  These  are  the  two  anoin- 
ted ones,  that  stand  by  the  Lord 
of  the  whole  earth. 

Chariots  and  Horses. 
Zech.  vi,  4-8.  Then  I  answered 
and  said  unto  the  angel  that 
talked  with  me,  What  are  these, 
my  lord?  And  the  angel  answered 
and  said  unto  me.  These  are  the 
four  spirits  of  the  heavens,  which 
go  forth  from  standing  before  the 
Lord  of  all  the  earth.  The  blacky 
horses  which  are  therein  go  fortli' 
Into  the  north  country;  and  tlie 
white  go  forth  after  them;  and 
tiie  grisled  go  forth  toward  the 
Fouth  country.  And  the  bay  went 
forth,  and  sought  to  go  that  they 
might  walk  to  and  fro  through  the 
earth:  and  he  said.  Get  you  hence, 
walk  to  and  fro  through  the  earth, 
So  they  walked  to  and  fro  through 
the  earth.  Then  cried  he  upon 
me,  and  spake  unto  me,  saying, 
Behold,  those  that  go  toward  the 
north  country  have  quieted  ray 
spirit  in  the  north  country.

barley  cakes,  and  thou  shalt  bake 
It  with  dung  that  cometh  out  of 
man,  in  their  siglit.  And  the 
Lord  said.  Even  tiius  shall  the 
children  of  Israel  eat  their  defiled 
bread  among  the  Gentiles, 
whither  I  will  drive  them.  Then 
he  said  unto  me,  Lo,  I  have  given 
thee  cow's  dung  for  man's  dung, 
and  thou  shalt  pi-epare  thy  bread 
therewith. 

IIegal  Crowns.

Ephah. 
Zech.  V,  5-10.  Then  the  angel 
that  talked  with  me  went  forth, 
and  said  unto  me.  Lift  up  now 
thine  eyes,  and  see  what  is  this 
that  goeth  forth.  And  I  said, 
Wliat  is  it?  And  he  said.  This  is 
an  ephah  that  goeth  forth,  lie 
said,  moreover.  This  is  their  re- 
semblance through  all  the  earth. 
And,  behold,  there  was  lifted  up 
a  talent  of  lead:  and  this  is  a  wo- 
man that  sitleth  in  the  midst  of 
the  ephah.  And  he  said.  This  is 
Wickedness.  And  he  cast  it  into 
the  midst  of  the  ephah;  and  ho 
cast  the  weight  of  lead  upon  the 
mouth  thereof.  Then  lifted  I  up 
mine  eyes,  and  looked,  and,  be- 
hold, there  came  out  two  women, 
and  the  wimi  was  in  their  wings; 
(for  they  liad  wings  like  the  wings 
of  a  stork;)  and  they  lilted  up  the 
ephah  between  the  earth  and  the

gel that  talked  with  me.  Whither 
do  these  bear  the  ephah?

lifted  up  mine  eyes,  and  looked, 
and,  behold,  a  flying  roll.  And  he 
said  unto  me.  What  seest  thou? 
And  1  answered,  I  see  a  flying

cubits,  and  the  breadth  thereof 
ten  cubits.

I  got  a  girdle,  according  to  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  and  put  it  on 
my  loins.  And  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  me  the  second 
time,  saying.  Take  the  girdle  that 
thou  hast  got,  which  is  upon  thy 
loins,  and  arise,  go  to  Euphrates, 
and  hide  it  there  in  a  hole  of  the

Euphrates,  as  the  Lord  command-

many  days,  that  the  Lord  said 
Uiito  me,  Arise,  go  to  Euphrates, 
and  take  the  girdle  from  thence, 
which  I  commanded  thee  to  hide 
there.  Tlien  I  went  to  Euphrates,

bring  forth  thy  stuff  by  day  in 
their  sigiit,  as  stuff  tor  removing: 
and  thou  shalt  go  forth  at  even  in

against  it;  set  the  camp  also 
against  it,  and  set  batter ing-x&vaa

saying,  Jeremiah,  what  seest  thou? 
And  I  said,  I  see  a  rod  of  an 
almond-tree.  Tlien  said  the  Lord 
unto  me,  Thou  hast  well  seen:  for 
1  will  hasten  my  word  to  perform 
it. 

Ezek.  xxxvli,  16,  17.  Moreover, 
thou  son  of  man,  take  thee  one 
stick,  and  write  upon  it.  For 
Judah,  and  for  the  children  of 
Israel  his  companions:  And  join 
them  one  to  another  into  one 
stick;  and  they  shall  become  one 
in  ihine  hand. 

Zech.  xi,  7, 10, 11,  14.  And  I  will 
feed  the  flock  of  slaughter,  even 
you,  O  poor  of  the  flock.  And  I 
took  unto  me  two  staves;  the  one 
I  called  Beauty,  and  the  other  I 
called  Bands;  and  I  fed  the  flock. 
And  I  took  my  staff,  eveti  Beauty, 
and  cut  it  asunder,  that  I  might

brealc  my  covenant  which  I  had 
made  with  all  tlie  people.  And  It 
was  broken  in  that  day:  and  so  the 
poor  of  the  flock  that  waited  upon 
me  knew  that  it  was  the  word  of 
the  Lord.  Then  I  cut  asunder 
mine  other  staff,  even  Bands,  that 
I  might  break  the  brotherhood 
between  Judah  and  IsraeL 

Vine  Teeb. 

Ezektel  XV,  2--5.  Son  of  man, 
What  is  the  vine-tree  more  than 
any  tree,  or  than  a  branch  wiiich 
is  among  the  trees  of  the  forest? 
Shall  wood  be  taken  thereof  to  do 
any  work?  or  will  men  take  a  pin 
of  it  to  hang  any  vessel  thereon  ? 
Behold,  it  is  cast  into  the  fire  for 
fuel;  the  fire  devoureth  both  the 
ends  of  it,  and  the  midst  of  it  is 
burnt.  Is  it  meet  for  any  work? 
Behold,  when  it  was  whole,  it  was 
meet  for  no  work:  how  much  less 
shall  it  be  meet  yet  for  any  work, 
when  the  fire  hath  devoured  it, 
and  it  is  burned? 

Ezek.  xix,  10-14.  Thy  mother  is 
like  a  vine  in  thy  blood,  planted 
by  Ihe  waters:  she  was  fruitful, 
and  full  of  branches,  by  reason  of 
many  waters.  And  -he  had  strong 
rods  for  the  sceptres  of  them  that 
bare  rule,  and  her  stature  was 
exalted  among  the  thick  branches, 
and  she  appeared  in  her  heigiit 
with  the  multitude  of  her  bran- 
ches. But  she  was  plucked  up  in 
fury,  she  was  cast  down  to  the 
ground,  and  the  east  wind  dried 
up  her  frnit;  lier  strong  rods  were 
broken  and  withered,  the  fire  con- 
sumed them.  And  now  she  is 
planted  in  the  wilderness,  in  a  dry 
and  thirsty  ground.  And  flro  is 
gone  out  of  a  rod  of  her  branches, 
which  hath  devoured  her  fruit,  so 
that  she  hath  no  strong  rod  to  be 
a  sceptre  to  rule.  This  is  a  lamen- 
tation, and  shall  be  for  a  lamenta- 
tion. 

The  Whale. 

Ezek.  xxxii,  1-6.  And  it  came  to 
pass  in  the  twelfth  year,  in  the 
twelfth  montli,  in  the  first  day  of 
the  month,  that  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  me,  saying,  Son 
of  man,  take  up  a  lamentation  for 
Pharaoh  king  of  Egypt,  and  say 
unto  him.  Thou  art  like  a  young 
lion  of  the  nations,  and  thou  art  as 
a  whale  in  the  seas;  and  thou 
camest  forth  with  thy  rivers,  and 
troubledst  the  waters  with  tiiy  feet, 
and  fouledst  their  rivers.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God,  I  will  there- 
fore spread  out  my  net  over  thee 
with  a  company  of  many  people; 
and  they  shall  bring  thee  up  in 
my  net.  Then  ".vill  I  leave  tlieo 
upon  the  land,  1  will  cast  thee 
torlh  upon  the  open  field,  and  will 
cause  all  the  fowls  of  the  heaven 
to  remain  upon  thee,  and  I  will  fill 
the  beasts  of  the  whole  earth  with 
tjiee.     And  1  will  lay  thy  flesh 


upon  the  mountains,  and  fill  the 
valleys  with  thy  height.  1  will 
also  water  with  thy  blood  the  land 
wherein  thou  swimmest,  even  to 
the  mountains;  and  the  rivers  shall 
be  full  of  thee. 

CcP  OF  Wine. 
Jer.  XXV,  15-17.  For  thus  saith 
the  Lord  God  of  Israel  unto  me; 
Take  the  wine-cup  of  this  fury  at 
my  hand,  and  cause  all  the  nations, 
to  whom  I  send  thee,  to  drink  it. 
And  they  shall  drink,  and  be 
moved,  and  be  mad,  because  of 
the  sword  that  I  will  send  among 
them.  Then  took  I  the  cup  at  the 
Lord's  hand,  and  made  all  the 
nations  to  drink,  unto  whom  the 
Lord  had  sent  mo. 

Yokes. 
Jer.  xxvii,  2, 3.  Thus  sayeth  the 
Lord  to  me;  Make  thee  bonds  and 
yokes,  and  put  them  upon  thy 
neck.  And  send  them  to  the  king 
of  Edom,  and  to  the  king  of  Moab, 
and  to  the  king  of  the  Ammonites, 
and  to  the  king  of  Tyrus,  and  to 
tlie  king  of  Zidon,  by  the  hand  of 
the  messengers  which  come  to 
Jerusalem  unto  Zedekiah  king  of 
Judah. 

6.  PICTURED  SPIRITUAL 
SCENES. 

Presence  of  Satan. 

Job  i,  6-12.  Now  there  was  a 
day  when  the  sons  of  God  came  to 
present  themselves  before  the 
Lord,  and  Satan  came  also  among 
them.  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Satan,  Whence  comestthou?  Then 
Satan  answered  the  Lord,  and 
said.  From  going  to  and  fro  in  the 
earth,  and  from  walking  up  and 
down  in  it.  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  Satan,  Hast  thou  considered 
my  servant  Job,  that  there  is  none 
like  him  in  the  earth,  a  perfect 
and  an  upright  man,  one  that 
feareth  God,  and  escheweth  evil? 
Then  Satan  answered  the  Lord, 
and  said,  Doth  Job  fear  God  for 
nought?  Hast  not  thou  made  an 
hedge  about  him,  and  about  his 
house,  and  about  all  that  he  hath 
on  every  side?  thou  hast  blessed 
the  work  of  his  hands,  and  his  sub- 
stance is  increased  in  the  land: 
But  put  forth  thine  hand  now,  and 
touch  all  that  he  hath,  and  he  will 
curse  thee  to  thy  face.  And  the 
Lord  siid  unto  Satan,  Behold,  all 
that  he  liatii  is  in  thy  power;  only 
upon  himself  put  nut  forth  thine 
hand.  So  Satan  went  forth  from 
the  presence  of  the  Lord. 

Job  ii,  3-7.  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  S.ilan,  Hast  thou  considered 
my  servant  Job,  that  there  is  none 
like  him  in  the  earth,  a  perfect 
and  an  upright  man,  one  that 
feareth  God,  and  escheweth  evil? 
and  still  he  holdelji  fast  his  In- 
tegrity, although  thou   movedst 


me  against  him,  to  destroy-  hfm 
without  cause.  And  Satan  ah- 
sweied  tlie  Lord,  and  said,  Skin 
for  skin;  yea.  all  that  a  man  hath 
will  he  give  for  his  life:  But  put 
forth  thine  hand,now,and  touch  his 
bone  and  his  flesh,  and  he  will 
curse  thee  to  thy  face.  And  the 
LoKD  said  unto  Satan,  Behold,  he 
is  in  thine  hand;  but  save  his  life. 
So  went  Satan  forth  from  the  pre- 
sence of  tlie  Lord,  and  smote  Job 
with  sore  boils  tromthe  sole  of  his 
foot  unto  his  crown. 

Heaven  in  Council 
1  Kings  xxii,  15-21.  So  he  came 
to  the  king.  And  the  king  said 
unto  him,  Micaiah,  shall  we  go 
against  Ranioth-gilead  to  battle, 
or  shall  we  forbear?  And  he 
answered  him,  Go,  and  prosper: 
for  the  Lord  shall  deliver  it  into 
tiie  hand  of  the  king.  And  the 
king  said  unto  him.  How  many 
times  shall  I  adjure  thee  that  thou 
tell  me  nothing  but  that  which  is 
true  in  the  name  of  the  Lord? 
And  he  said,  I  saw  all  Israel  scat- 
tered upon  the  hills,  as  sheep  that 
have  not  a  shepherd:  and  the 
Lord  said,  These  have  no  mastei"; 
let  them  return  every  man  to  his 
house  in  peace.  And  the  king  of 
Israel  said  unto  Jehoshaphat,  Did 
1  not  tell  thee  that  he  would  pro- 
phesy no  good  concerning  me, 
but  evil?  And  he  said,  Hear  thou 
therefore  the  word  of  the  Lord: 
I  saw  the  Lord  sitting  on  his 
throne,  and  all  the  host  of  heaven 
standing  by  him  on  his  right  hand, 
and  on  his  left.  And  the  Lord 
said.  Who  shall  persuade  Aliab, 
that  he  may  go  up  and  fall  at 
Ramoth-gilead?  And  one  said  on 
this  manner,  and  another  said  on 
that  manner.  And  there  came, 
forth  a  spirit,  and  stood  before 
the  Lord,  and  said,  I  will  per- 
suade him. 

Joshua  awd  Satan. 
Zech.  ill,  1,  3-5.  And  he  shewed 
me  Joshua  the  high  priest  stand- 
ing before  the  angel  of  the  Lord, 
and  Satan  standing  at  his  right 
hand  to  resist  him.  Now  Joshua 
was  clothed  with  filthy  garments, 
and  stood  before  the  angel.  And 
he  answered  and  spake  unto 
those  that  stood  before  him,  say- 
ing, take  away  the  filthy  garments 
from  him.  And  unto  him  he  said. 
Behold,  I  have  caused  thine 
iniquity  to  pass  from  thee,  and  I 
will  clothe  thee  with  change  of 
raiment.  And  I  said.  Let  them 
set  a  fair  mitre  upon  his  head. 
So  they  set  a  fair  mitre  upon  his 
head,  and  clothed  him  with  gar- 
ments. And  the  angel  of  the 
Lord  stood  by. 

6.  RIDDLES. 
Judges  xiv.  14-18.  And  he  said

nnto  tliom,  Ont  of  the  eatpr  came 
fortli  meat,  and  out  of  the  strong: 
came  fortli  sweetness.  An(i  they 
could  not  in  three  duys  expound 
the  riddle.  And  it  came  to  pass 
on  the  seventh  day,  that  they 
said  nnto  Samson's  wife.  Entice 
thy  liusband,  that  he  may  declare 
unto  us  the  riddle,  lest  we  burn 
thee  and  thy  father's  house  with 
fire:  liave  ye  called  us  to  take  that 
wo  have?  is  it  not  so?  And  Samson's 
wife  wept  before  him,  and  said. 
Thou  dost  but  hate  me,  and  lovest 
me  not:  thou  hast  put  forth  a 
riddle  unto  the  children  of  my 
people,  an<i  hast  not  tuld  it  me. 
And  he  said  unto  her,  IJehold,  I 
have  not  told  it  my  father  nor  my 
mother,  and  shall  I  tell  it  thee? 
And  she  wept  before  him  the 
Suven  days,  while  their  feast 
lasted:  and  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
seventh  day,  that  he  told  her,  be- 
cause she  lay  sore  upon  hitn;  and 
she  told  the  riddle  to  the  children 
of  her  people.  And  tlie  men  of 
the  city  said  unto  him  on  the 
seventh  day  before  the  sun  went 
down,  What  is  sweeter  than 
honey?  and  what  is  stronger  than 
a  lion?  And  he  said  unto  theiu, 
If  ye  had  not  ploughed  with  my 
heifer,  ye  had  not  found  out  my 
riddle. 

Ezek.  xvii,  2.  Son  of  man,  put 
fortli  a  riddle,  and  spi;uk  a  parable 
unto  the  house  uf  Israel.

CHRIST. 

THE  BRANCH. 

Isa.  Iv,  2.  In  that  day  shall  the 
branch  of  the  Loud  bo  beautiful 
and  glorious,  and  the  fruit  of  the 
earth  sliall  be  excellent  and  comely 
for  them  that  are  escaped  of 
Israel. 

Jer.  xxxiii.  14-16.  Behold,  the 
days  come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  I 
will  perform  that  good  thing  which 
I  have  promised  unto  the  house 
of  Israel,  and  to  the  house  of 
Judah.  In  those  days,  and  at 
that  time,  will  I  cause  the  Branch 
of  righteousness  to  grow  up  unto 
David;  and  he  shall  execute  judg- 
ment and  righteousness  in  the 
land.  In  those  days  shuU  Judah 
be  saved,  and  Jerusalem  shall 
dwell  safely:  and  this  is  the  name 
where vvitli  she  shall  be  called^ The 
Lord  our  Righteousness. 

Ezek.  xvii.  22--24.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  I  will  also  take  of  the 
highest  branch  of  the  high  cedar, 
and  will  set  it;  I  will  crop  off 
from  the  top  of  his  young  twigs 
a  tender  one,  and  will  plant  it 
upon  an  high  mountain  and 
eminent:  In  the  mountain  of  the 
height  of  Israel  will  I  plant  it; 
and  it  shall  bring  forth  boughs, 
and  bear  fruit,  and  be  a  goodly 
cedar:  and  under  it  shall  dweli  all 


fowl  of  every  wing;  in  the  shadow 
of  the  branches  thereof  shall  ihey 
dwell.  And  all  the  trees  of  the 
field  shall  know  that  I  the  Loro 
have  brought  down  the  liigh  tree, 
have  exalted  the  low  tree;  have 
dried  up  the  green  tree,  and  have 
made  the  dry  tree  to  flourish:  I  the 
r^OBD  have  spoken,  and  iiave  done 
it. 

Ezek.  xxxiv,  29.  And  I  will  raise 
up  for  them  a  plant  of  renown, 
and  they  shall  be  no  more  con- 
sumed with  hunger  in  the  land, 
neither  bear  the  shame  of  the 
heathen  any  more. 

Zech.  iii,  8.  Hear  now,  O  Joshua 
the  high  priest,  thou,  and  thy 
fellows  that  sit  before  thee;  for 
they  are  men  wondered  at:  for, 
behold.  I  will  bring  forth  my  ser- 
vant The  BRANCH. 

Zech.  vi,  12, 13.  And  speak  unto 
him,  saying,  Thus  speaketh  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  saying,  Behold  the 
man  whose  name  is  The  BRANCH; 
and  he  shall  grow  up  out  of  his 
place,  and  he  shall  build  the  tem- 
ple of  the  Lord:  Even  he  shall 
build  the  temple  of  the  Lord;  and 
he  shall  bear  the  glory,  and  shall 
sit  and  rule  upon  his  throne;  and 
he  shall  be  a  priest  upon  his 
throne:  and  the  counsel  of  peace 
shall  be  between  them  botb. 

Bread. 
JoTin  vl,  82-35,  48,  50-58.  Then 
Jesus  said  unto  them.  Verily, 
verily,  I  say  unto  you,  Moses 
gave  you  not  that  bread  from 
heaven;  but  my  Father  giveth 
you  the  true  bread  from  heaven. 
For  the  bread  of  God  is  he  which 
Cometh  down  from  heaven,  and 
giveth  life  unto  the  world.  Then 
said  they  unto  him.  Lord,  ever- 
more give  us  this  bread.  And 
Jesus  said  unto  them,  I  am  the 
bread  of  life:  he  that  cometh  to 
me  shall  never  hunger;  and  ho 
tliat  believeth  on  me  shall  never 
thirst.  I  am  that  bread  of  life. 
This  is  the  bread  which  cometh 
down  from  heaven,  that  a  man 
may  eat  thereof,  and  not  die.  I 
am  the  living  bread  which  came 
down  from  heaven:  if  any  man 
eat  of  this  bread,  he  shall  live  for 
ever:  and  the  bread  that  I  will 
give  is  my  flesh,  which  I  will  give 
for  the  life  of  the  world.  The 
Jews  therefore  strove  among 
themselves,  saying,  How  can  this 
man  give  us  his  flesh  to  eat?  Then 
Jesus  said  unto  them.  Verily, 
verily,  I  say  unto  you.  Except  ye 
eat  the  flesh  of  the  Son  of  man, 
and  drink  his  blood,  ye  have  no 
life  in  you.  Whoso  eateth  my 
flesh,  and  drinketh  my  blood, 
hath  eternal  life;  and  I  will  raise 
him  up  at  the  last  day.  For  my 
flesh  is  meat  indeed,  and  my  blood 
is  drink  indeed.  He  that  eateth 
my  flesh,  and  drinketh  my  blood, 
027 


dwclloth  in  me,  and  I  in  him.  As 
the  living  Fatiier  hatli  sent  me, 
and  I  live  by  tlie  Father;  so  he 
that  eateth  me,  even  he  shall  live 
by  me.  This  is  that  bread  which 
came  down  from  heaven;  not  as 
your  lathers  did  eat  manna,  and 
are  dead.  He  that  eateth  of  this 
bread  shall  live  for  ever. 

1  Cor.  X,  3.  And  did  all  eat  the 

same  spiritual  meat. 

Water. 
John  Iv,  10-12.  Jesus  answered 
and  said  unto  her.  It  thou  knew- 
est  the  gift  of  God,  and  who  it  is 
that  saith  to  thee.  Give  me  to 
drink ;  thou  wouldest  have  asked 
of  him,  and  he  would  have  given 
thee  living  water.  The  woman 
saith  unto  him,  Sir,  thou  hast  no- 
thing to  draw  with,  and  the  well 
is  deep:  from  whence  then  hast 
thou  that  living  water?  Art  thou 
greater  than  our  father  Jacob, 
which  gave  us  the  well,  and  drank 
thereof  himself,  and  his  children, 
and  his  cattle? 

John  vii,  37-39.  In  the  last  day; 
that  great  day  of  the  feast,  Jesus 
stood  and  cried,  saying.  If  any 
man  thirst,  let  him  come  unto  me, 
and  drink.  He  that  believeth  on 
me,  as  the  scriptures  hath  said, 
out  of  his  belly  shall  flow  rivers  of 
living  water.  (But  this  spake  he 
of  the  Spirit,  which  they  tiiat  be- 
lieve on  him  should  receive:  for 
the  Holy  Ghost  was  not  yet  given; 
because  that  Jesus  was  not  yet 
glorified.) 

Shepherd 

Ezek.  xxxiv,  23.  And  I  will  set 
up  one  shepherd  over  them,  and 
he  shall  feed  them,  even  my  ser- 
vant David;  he  shall  feed  them, 
and  he  shall  be  their  shep- 
herd. 

Mlcah  V,  4,  5.  And  he  shall 
stand  and  feed  in  the  strength  of 
the  Lord,  in  the  majesty  of  the 
name  of  the  Lord  his  God;  and 
they  shall  abide:  for  now  shall  he 
be  great  unto  the  ends  of  the 
earth.  And  this  man  shall  be  the 
peace,  when  the  Assyrian  shall 
come  into  our  land :  and  when  he 
sliall  tread  in  our  palaces,  then 
shall  we  raise  against  him  seven 
shepherds,  and  eight  principal 
men. 

Life. 

John  xl,  25 T  am  the  re- 
surrection, and  the  life 

John  xiv,  19 Because  I 

live,  ye  shall  live  also. 

2  Tim.  I,  10.  But  Is  now  mada- 
manifest  by  the  appearing  ol  our 
Saviour  Jesus  Christ,  who  hath 
abolished  deatli,  and  hath  l)rought 
life  and  immortality  to  light

1  John  V,  11,  12.  And  this  is  the  ! 
record,  tliat  God  liath  given  to  us 
eternal  life;  and  this  life  is  in  his 
Son.  He  tiiat  hath  tiie  Son  hath

Lamb. 

John  i,  29,  33,  36.  The  next  day- 
John  seetli  Jesus  coming  unto 
him,  and  saith,  Behold  the  Lamb 
of  God,  wliicli  taketh  away  the 
Bin  of  the  world!  Again  tlie  next 
day  after  John  stood  and  two  of 
his  disciples;  And  looliing  upon 
Jeisus  as  lie  walked,  he  saith,  Be- 
hold the  Lamb  of  God! 

Eev.  V,  6.  And  I  beheld,  and,  lo, 
In  the  midst  of  tlie  throne  and  of 
the  four  beasts,  and  in  the  midst 
of  the  elders,  stood  a  Lamb  as  it 
had  been  slain,  having  seven 
horns  and  seven  eyes  winch  are 
the  seven  Spirits  of  God  sent 
forth  into  all  the  earth.

FORETOLO  AS  THE  CORNEB  StONB. 

Ps.  cxviii,  22-24.  The  stone 
which  the  builders  refused  is  be- 
come the  head  stone  of  the  corner. 
This  is  the  Lord's  doing;  it  is 
marvellous  in  our  eyes.  This  is 
the  day  which  the  Lord  hath 
made:  we  will  rejoice  and  be  glad 
in  it. 

Isa.  xxviii,  16.  Therefore  thus 
eaith  the  Lord  God,  Behold,  I  lay 
in  Zion  for  a  foundation  a  stone,  a 
trie  1  stone,  a  precious  corner 
stone,  a  sure  foundation:  he  that 
believeth  shall  not  make  haste. 

Zech.  ill,  9.  For  behold  the  stone 
that  I  have  laid  bcifore  Joshua; 
upon  one  stone  shall  be  seven 
eyes:  behold,  1  will  engrave  the 
graving  thereof,  saltli  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  and  I  will  remove  the  Uxi- 
qulty  of  that  laud  in  one  day. 

Application. 
Maith.  xxi.  42.  Jesus  saith  unto 
them,  Did  ye  never  read  in  tlie 
ficriptures,  The  stone  which  the 


builders  rejected,  the  same  is 
become  the  head  of  the  corner: 
this  is  the  Lord's  doing,  and  it  is 
marvellous  in  our  eyes? 

Mark  xii,  10,  11.  And  have  ye 
not  read  this  scripture.  The  stone 
which  the  builders  rejected  is  be- 
come the  head  of  the  corner:  This 
was  the  Lord's  doing,  and  it  is 
marvellous  in  our  eyes? 

Luke  XX,  17.  And  he  beheld 
them,  and  said.  What  is  this  then 
that  is  written,  The  stone  which 
the  builders  rejected,  the  same  is 
become  the  head  of  the  corner  ? 

Acts  iv,  11.  This  is  the  stone 
which  was  set  at  nought  of  you 
builders,  which  is  become  the 
head  of  the  corner. 

1  Peter  ii,  7.  Unto  you  therefore 
which  believe  heis  precious:  but 
unto  them  which  be  disobedient, 
the  stone  which  the  builders  dis- 
allowed, the  same  ia  made  the 
head  of  the  corner.

Isa.  viii,  14, 15.  And  he  shall  be 
for  a  sanctuary;  but  for  a  stone  of 
stumbling  and  for  a  rock  of  of- 
fence to  both  the  houses  of  Israel, 
for  a  gin  and  for  a  snare  to  the 
inhabitants  of  Jerusalem.  And 
many  among  them  shall  stumble, 
and  fall,  and  be  broken,  and  be 
snared,  and  be  taken. 

Mattn.  xxi,  44.  And  whosoever 
shall  fall  on  this  stone  shall  be 
broken:  but  on  whomsoever  it 
shall  fall,  it  will  grind  him  to 
powder. 

Luke  XX,  18.  Whosoever  shall 
fall  upon  that  stone  shall  be 
broken;  but  on  whomsoever  it

Behold,  I  lay  in  Sion  a  stumbling- 
stone  and  rock  of  offence:  and 
whosoever  believeth  on  him  shall 
not  be  ashamed. 

Living  Stonb. 
1  Peter  ii,  3-5.  If  so  be  ye  hare 
tasted  that  the  Lord  is  gracious; 
To  whom  coming,  as  unto  a  liv- 
ing stone,  disallowed  Indeed  of 
men,  but  chosen  of  God,  and 
precious.  Ye  also,  as  lively  stoned, 
are  built  up  a  spiritual  house, 
an  holy  priesthood,  to  offer  up 
spiritual  sacrifices,  acceptable  to 
God  by  Jesus  Christ. 

As  Light  and  Sun. 
Isa.  xlii,  6,  7.  I  the  Lobd  have 
called  thee  In  righteousness,  and 
will  hold  thine  hand,  and  will 
keep  thee,  and  give  thee  for  a 
covenant  of  the  people,  for  a 
I  light  of  the  Gentiles:  To  open  the 
bliud  eyes,  to    bring    out    the 


prisoners  from  the  prison,  and 
them  riiat  sit  in  darkness,  out  of 
the  prison  liouse. 

Mai.  iv,  2.  But  unto  you  that 
fear  my  name  shall  the  Sun  of 
rigliteousness  arise  with  healing 
in  his  wings:  smd  ye  shall  go 
forth  and  grow  up  as  calves  of  the 
stall. 

Light  of  the  World. 

Luke  i,  78,  79.  Tlirough  the 
tender  mercy  of  our  God;  where- 
by the  day-spring  from  on  high 
hath  visited  us.  To  give  light  to 
them  th;)t  sit  in  darkness  and  in 
tlie  sliadow  of  death,  to  guide  our 
feet  into  the  way  of  peace. 

John  viii,  12.  Then  spake  Jesus 
again  unto  them,  saying,  I  am  the 
light  of  the  world:  he  tiiat  follow- 
eth  me  shall  not  walk  in  darkness, 
but  shall  have  the  light  of  life. 

John  xii,  35,  36.  46.  Then  Jesus 
said  unto  them.  Yet  a  little  while 
is  the  light  witli  you:  wtdk  wliile 
ye  have  the  light,  lest  darkness 
come  upon  you:  for  he  that  walk- 
eth  in  darkness  knoweth  not 
whither  he  goeth.  While  ye  have 
light,  believe  in  the  liglit,  that  ye 
may  be  the  cliildiea  of  light. 
These  things  spake  Jesus,  and 
departed,  and  did  hide  himself 
from  them.  I  am  come  a  light 
into  the  world,  that  whosoever 
believeth  on  me  should  not  abide 
in  darkness. 

Stars. 

Num.  xxiv,  17.  I  shall  see  him, 
but  not  now;  1  shall  behold  him, 
but  not  nigh:  there  shall  come  a 
Star  out  of  Jacob,  and  a  Sceptre 
shall  rise  out  of  Israel,  and  shall 
smite  the  corners  of  Moab,  and 
destroy  all  the  children  of  Sheth. 


Rev.  i,  20.  The  mystery  of  the 
seven  stars  which  thou  sawest  in 
my  right  hand,  and  the  seven 
golden  candlesticks.  The  seven 
stars  are  the  angels  of  the  seven 
churches;  and  the  seven  candle- 
sticks whicli  thoti  sawest  are  the 
seven  churches. 

Bev.  ii,  1.  Unto  the  angel  of  the 
church  of  Ephesus  write;  These 
things  saith  he  that  holdeth  the 
seven  stars  in  his  right  hand,  wlio 
walketh  in  the  midst  of  the  seven 
golden  candlesticks. 

Rev.  ill,  1.  And  unto  the  angel 
of  tlie  church  in  Sardis  write; 
These  things  saith  he  that  hath 
the  seven  Spirits  of  God,  and  the 
seven  stars;  I  know  thy  works, 
that  tliou  hast  a  name  that  thou 
livest,  and  art  dead. 

Rev.  xxii,  16.  I  Jesus  have  sent 
mine  angel  to  testify  unto  you 
these  things  in  the  churches.  I 
am  the  root  and  the  offspring  of 
David,  and  the  bright  and  morn- 
lug  star. 


PARABLES  AND  EMBLEMS. 


As  A  Sword. 
Isa.  xlix.  1--4.  Listen,  O  Isles, 
tinto  me;  and  hearken,  ye  people, 
from  far,  The  Lord  hath  called 
me  from  the  womb;  from  the 
bowels  of  my  mother  hath  he 
made  mention  of  my  name.  And 
he  hath  made  my  mouth  like  a 
sharp  sword;  in  the  shadow  of  his 
hand  hath  he  hid  me,  and  made 
me  a  polished  shaft;  in  his  quiver 
hath  he  hid  me;  And  said  unto 
me,  Thon  art  my  servant,  O  Israel, 
in  whom  I  will  be  glorified.  Then 
I  said,  I  have  laboured  in  vain,  I 
have  spent  my  strength  for 
nought,  and  in  vain;  yet  surely 
my  judgment  is  with  the  Lord, 
and  my  work  with  my  God. 

liev.  xix,  15, 21.  And  oat  of  his 
mouth  goeth  a  sharp  sword,  that 
Avith  it  he  should  smite  the  na- 
tions; and  he  shall  rule  them  with 
a  rod  of  iron:  and  he  treadeth 
the  wine-press  of  the  fierceness 
and  wrath  of  Almighty  God.  And 
the  remnant  were  slain  with  the 
sword  of  him  that  sat  upon  the 
horse,  which  sword  proceeded  out 
of  his  mouth:  and  all  the  fowls 
were  filled  wUh  their  flesh.   . 


PICTURESQUE  DESCRIP- 
TIONS. 

THE   SAVIOUR. 

Eev.  11, 18.  And  unto  the  angel 
of  the  church  in  Thyatira  write; 
These  things  saith  the  Ron  of 
God,  who  hath  his  eyes  like  unto 
a  flame  of  fire  and  his  feet  are 
like  fine  brass. 

liev.  xix,  11-14.  And  I  saw  hea- 
ven opened,  and  behold  a  white 
horse;  and  he  that  sat  upon  him 
was  called  Faithful  and  True;  and 
in  righteousness  he  doth  judge 
and  make  war.  His  eyes  were  as 
a  flame  of  fire,  and  on  his  head 
ice7'e  many  crowns;  and  he  had  a 
name  written  that  no  man  knew 
but  he  himself:  And  he  ivas 
clothed  with  a  vesture  dipped  in 
blood:  and  his  name  is  called  The 
Word  of  God.  And  the  armies 
which  were  in  heaven  fcjllowed 
him  upon  white  horses,  clothed  in 
fine  linen  white  and  clean. 

The  Millennium. 

Rev.  XX,  1-3,  6,  6.    And  I  saw  an 
an^el  come  down  from  heaven, 
having  the  key  of  the  bottomless 
629 


pit  and  a  great  chain  in  his  hand. 
And  he  laid  hold  on  the  dragon, 
that  old  serpent,  which  is  tlie 
Devil,  and  Satan,  and  bound  him 
a  thousand  years.  And  cast  him 
Into  the  bottomless  pit,  and  sliut 
him  up,  and  set  a  seal  upon  him, 
that  he  should  deceive  the  nations 
no  more,  till  the  thousand  years 
should  be  fulfilled:  and  after  that 
he  must  be  loosed  a  little  season. 
But  the  rest  of  the  dead  lived  not 
again  until  the  thousand  years 
were  finished.  Tliis  is  the  first 
resurrection.  Blessed  and  holy 
is  he  that  hath  part  in  the  first 
resurrection:  on  such  the  second' 
death  hath  no  power;  but  they 
shall  be  priests  of  God  and  of 
Christ,  and  shall  reign  with  him  a 
thousand  years. 

Paul's  Battle. 

1  Cor.  XV,  31,  32.  I  protest  by 
your  rejoicing  which  I  have  in 
Christ  Jesus  our  Lord,  I  die 
daily.  If  after  the  manner  of  men 
I  have  fought  wiMi  beasts  at 
Ephesus,  what  advantageth  it  me 
if  the  dead  rise  not?  let  us  eat  and 
drink:  for  to-morrow  we  die.

brethren,  and  kinsfolks,  and 
friends;  and  some  of  you  shall  they

1  Cor.  Iv,  9.  For  I  think  that 
God  hath  set  forth  us  the  apostles 
last,  as  it  were  appointed  to 
death:  for  we  are  made  a  spec- 
tacle unto  the  world,  and  to 
angels,  and  to  men. 

2  Cor.  1,  8.  For  we  would  not, 
brethren,  have  you  ignorant  of 
our  trouble  which  came  to  us  in 
Asia,  that  we  were  pressed  out  of 
measure,  above  strength,  inso- 
much that  we  despaired  even  of 
life. 

2  Cor.  vii,  5.  For  when  we  were 
come  into  Macedonia,  our  flesh

was  born  after  the  flesh  persecut- 
ed him  that  was  born  after  the 
Spirit,  even  so  it  is  now. 

1  Thess.  a,  14, 15.  For  ye,  breth- 
ren, became  followers  of  the 
churches  of  God  which  in  Judea 
are  in  Christ  Jesus:  for  ye  also 
have  Buffered  like  things  of  your 
own  countrymen,  even  as  they 
have  of  the  Jews;  Who  both 
killed  the  Lord  Jesus,  and  their

and  are  contrary  to  all  men.

the  altar  the  souls  of  them  that 
were  slain  for  the  word  of  God, 
and  for  the  testimony  which  they 
held:  And  white  robes  were 
given  unto  every  one  of  them; 
and  it  was  said  unto  them,  that 
they  should  rest  yet  for  a  little 
season,  until  their  fellow-servants 
also,  and  their  brethren,  that 
should  be  killed  as  they  were, 
should  be  fulfilled. 

Foretold  and  Expected. 

Dan.  xi,  33.  And  they  that  un-

captivity,  and  by  spoil,  many 
days.

kings  and  rulers  for  my  name's 
sake!  And  it  shall  turu  to  you  for 
a  testimony. 


John  xv,  20.  Remember  tho 
word  that  I  said  unto  you.  The 
servant  is  not  greater  than  his 
lord.  If  they  have  persecuted  me, 
they  will  also  persecute  you;  if 
they  have  kept  my  saying,  they 
will  keep  yours  also.

in  every  city,  saying  that  bonds 
and  afflictions  abide  me.

will  live  godly  in  Christ  Jesus 
shall  suffer  persecution.

should  be  moved  by  these  afflic- 
tions: for  yourselves  know  that 
we  are  appointed  thereunto.  For 
verily,  when  we  were  with  you, 
we  told  you  before  that  we  should 
suffer  tribulation;  even  as  it  came 
to  pass,  and  ye  know.

as  the  filth  of  the  world,  and  are 
the  off-scouring  of  all  things  unto 
this  day.

occasion  sgainst  Daniel  concern- 
ing the  kinglom;  but  they  could 
find  none  occasion  nor  fault;  for- 
asmuch as  he  was  faithful,  neither 
was  there  any  error  or  fault  found 
in  him.  Tlieii  «aid  these  men.

the  city  on  an  uproar,  and  as- 
saulted the  house  of  Jason,  and 
sought.to  brftig  them  out  to  the 
people.  And  when  they  found 
tLem  not,  they  drew  Jason,  and 
certain  brethren,  unto  the  rulers 
of  the  city,  crying,  These  that 
have  turned  the  world  upside 
down  are  come  hither  also;  Whom 
Jason  hath  received:  and  these 
all  do  contrary  to  the  decrees  of 
Cesar,  saying  that  there  is  an- 
other king,  one  Jesus.  And  they 
troubled  the  people,  and  the 
rulers  of  the  city,  when  they 
heard  these  things.  But  when

priests,  and  the  prophets,  and  all 
the  people  took  him,  saying,  Thou

Shalt  surely  die.  Why  hast  thou 
prophesied  in  the  name  of  the 
Lord,  saying,  This  house  shall  be 
like  Sliiloli,  and  this  city  shall

name?  and,  behold,  ye  have  filled 
Jerusalem  with  your  doctrine, 
and  intend  to  bring  this  man's 
blood  upon  us.  And  to  him  they 
agreed:  and  when  I  hey  had  called

In  stripes  above  measure,  in  pri-

and  all  the  estate  of  the  elders:

unto  king  Ahasuerus,  There  is  a 
certain  people  scattered  abroad, 
and  dispersed  among  the  people 
in  all  the  provinces  of  thy  king- 
dom; and  their  laws  are  diverse 
from  all  people,  neither  keep  they 
the  king's  laws:  therefore  it  is  not 
for  the  king's  profit  to  suffer 
them. 

Ps.  xiv,  4.  Have  all  the  workers 
of  iniquity  no  knowledge?  who 
eat  up  my  people  as  they  eat

Lord. 

Jer.  xxvl,  19-24.  Did  Hezekiah 
kingof  Judahand  all  Judah  put 
him  at  all  to  death?  did  he  not 
fear  the  Lord,  and  besought  the 
Lord,  and  the  Lord  repented  him 
of  the  evil  which  he  had  pro- 
nounced against  them?  Thus 
might  we  procure  great  evil 
against  our  souls.  And  there  was 
also  a  man  that  prophesied  in  the 
nameof  the  Lord,  Urijah  the  son 
of  Shemaiah  of  Kirjath-jearim, 
who  prophesied  against  this  city, 
and  against  this  land,  according  to 
all  the  words  of  Jeremiah:  And 


when  Jehoiakfm  the  king,  with 

all  Lis  mighty  men,  and  all  the 
princes,  heard  his  words,  the  klngf 
souglit  to  put  him  to  death:  but 
when  Urijah  heard  it,  he  wns 
afraid,  and  fled,  and  went  into 
Egypt;  And  Jehoiakim  the  king 
sent  men  into  Egypt,  naynely, 
Elnathan  the  son  of  Achbor,  and 
certain  men  with  him,  into  Eg^  pt: 
And  they  fetched  forth  Urijah  out 
of  Egypt,  and  brought  him  unto 
Jehoiakim  the  king;  who  slew 
liim  with  the  sword,  and  cast  his 
dead  body  into  the  graves  of  the 
common  people.  Nevertheless 
the  hand  of  Ahikam  the  son  of 
Shaphan  was  with  Jeremiali,  that

hand  of  the  people  to  put  him  to

you  out  of  the  synagogues:  yea,

duoth  God  service.  And  the  e 
things  will  they  do  unto  you,  bo- 
cause  thoy  have  not  known  tho 
Father,  nur  me.

musters  saw  that  the  hope  of  their 
gains  was  gone,  they  caught  Paul 
and  Silas,  and  drew  them  into  the 
market  place  unto  the  rulers.  And 
broiiglit  them  to  the  magistrates, 
saying,  These  men,  being  Jews, 
do  exceedingly  trouble  our  city.

lawful  for  us  to  receive,  neither  to 
observe,  being  Romans. 

Acts  xxvi,  9.  I  verily  thought 
with  myself,  that  I  ought  to  do 
many  things  contrary  tothenamo

PERSECUTION  DEFEATS 
ITSELF, 

Acts  V,  24,  25,  41,  42.  Now, 
when  the  high  priest,  and  the 
captain  of  the  temple,and  the  chief 
priests,  heard  these  things,  they 
doubted  of  them  whereunto  this 
would  grow.  Tlien  came  one  and 
told  them,  saying.  Behold,  the 
men  whom  ye  put  in  prison  are 
standing  in  the  temple,  and 
teaclnng  the  people.  And  they 
departed  from  the  presence  of  the 
council,  rejoicing  that  they  were 
counted  worthy  to  suffer  shame 
for  his  name.  And  daily  in  the 
temple,  and  in  every  hou^e,  they 
ceased  not  to  teach  and  preacli 
Jesus  Christ. 

Acts  vill,  4.  Therefore  thpy  that 
were  scattered  abroad  wenfevery 
where  preaching  the  word. 


Acts  xl,  19, 20.  Now  they  which 
were  scattered  abroad  upon  the 
persecution  that  arose  about 
Stephen  travelled  as  far  as 
Phenice,  and  Cyprus,  and  An- 
tioch,  preaching  the  word  to  none 
but  unto  the  Jews  only.  And 
some  of  them  were  men  of  Cyprus 
and  Cyrene,  which,  when  they 
were  come  to  Antioch,  spake  unto 
the  Grecians,  preaching  the  Lord 
Jesus. 

Acts  xiv,  4-7.  But  the  multitude 
of  the  city  was  divided:  and  part 
held  with  the  Jews,  and  part  with 
the  apostles.  And  when  there 
was  an  assault  made  both  of  the 
Gentiles,  and  also  of  the  Jews, 
with  their  rulers,  to  use  them  de- 
spitefully,  and  to  stone  them, 
They  were  ware  of  it,  and  fled 
unto  Lystra  and  Derbe,  cities  of 
Lycaouia,  and  unto  the  region 
that  lieth  round  about:  And 
there  they  preached  the  gospel. 

Gal.  i,  23,  24.  But  they  had 
heard  only,  that  he  which  per- 
secuted us  in  times  past,  now 
preacheth  the  faith  which  once  he 
destroyed.  And  they  glorified 
God  in  me. 

Phil.  1,  12-14.  But  I  would  ye 
should  understand,  brethren,  that 
the  things  lohich  happened  unto 
me  have  fallen  out  rather  unto  the 
furtherance  of  the  gospel;  So  that 
my  bonds  in  Christ  are  manifest 
hi  all  the  palace,  and  in  all  other 
places;  And  many  of  the  breth- 
ren in  the  Lord,  waxing  confident 
by  my  bonds,  are  much  more  bold 
to  speak  the  word  without  fear. 

2  Tim.  ii,  9.  Wherein  I  sufler 
trouble,  as  an  evil-doer,  even  unto 
bonds;  but  the  word  of  God  is  not 
bound. 

FORBIDDEN  BY  GOD. 

Prov.  xxlv,  15.  Lay  not  wait,  O 
wicked  man,  against  the  dwelling 
ot  the  righteous;  spoil  not  his 
resting-place. 

Matth.  xxiii,  30-32.  And  say.  If 
we  hid  been  in  the  days  of  our 
fathers,  we  would  not  have  been 
partakers  with  them  in  the  blood 
of  the  prophets.  Wherefore  ye 
be  witnesses  unto  yourselves,  that 
ye  are  the  children  of  them  which 
kdled  the  prophets.  Fill  ye  up 
then  the  measure  of  your  fathers. 

Acts  xxii,  7,  8.  And  I  fell  unto 
the  ground,  and  heard  a  voice 
saying  unto  me,  Saul,  Saul,  wliy 
pei-becutest  thou  me?  And  I  an- 
swered. Who  art  thou.  Lord?  And 
he  said  unto  me,  I  am  Jesus  of 
Nazareth,  whom  thou  persecutest. 

PUNISHED  BY  GOD. 

Deut.  XXX,  7.  And  the  Lord  thy 
G'>d  will  put  all  these  curses  upon 
thine  enemies,  and  on  them  that

Neh.  ix,  26-28.  Nevertheless  they

were  disobedient,  and  rebelled 
against  thoe,  and  cast  thy  law  be- 
hind their  backs,  and  slew  thy 
prophets,  which  testified  against 
them  to  turn  them  to  thee;  and 
they  wrought  great  provocations. 
Therefore  thou  deliveredst  them 
into  the  hand  of  their  enemies, 
who  vexed  them:  and  In  the  time 
of  their  trouble,  when  they  cried 
unto  thee,  thou  heardest  them 
from  heaven;  and,  according  to 
thy  manifold  mercies,  thou  gavest 
them  saviours,  who  saved  them 
out  of  the  hand  of  their  enemies. 
But  after  they  had  rest,  they  did 
evil  again  before  thee:  therefore 
lettest  thou  them  in  the  hand  of 
their  enemies,  so  that  they  had 
the  dominion  over  them:  yet  when 
they  returned,  and  cried  unto 
thee,  thou  heardest  them  from 
heaven;  and  many  times  didst 
thou  deliver  them,  according  to 
thy  mercies. 

Luke  xi,  50,  51.  That  the  blood 
of  all  the  prophets,  which  was 
shed  from  the  foundation  of  the 
world,  may  be  required  of  this 
generation;  From  the  blood  of 
Abel,  unto  the  blood  of  Zacharias, 
which  perished  between  the  altar 
and  the  temple:  verily  I  say  unto 
you,  1 1  shall  be  required  of  this 
generation. 

Matth.  xxiil,  35,  36.  That  upon 
you  may  come  all  the  righteous 
blood  shed  upon  the  earth,  from 
the  blood  of  righteous  Abel  unto 
the  blood  of  Zacharias,  son  of 
Barachias,  whom  ye  slew  between 
the  temple  and  the  altar.  Verily 
I  say  unto  you.  All  these  things 
shall  come  upon  this  generation. 

Rev.  xvi,  5-7.  And  I  heard  the 
angel  of  the  waters  say.  Thou  art 
righteous,  O  Lord,  which  art,  and 
wast,  and  shalt  be,  because  thou 
hast  judged  thus:  For  they  have 
shed  the  blood  of  saints  and  pro- 
phets, and  thou  hast  given  them 
blood  to  drink;  for  they  are 
worthy.  And  I  heard  another 
out  of  the  altar  say.  Even  so,  Lord 
God  Almighty,  true  and  righteous 
are  thy  judgments.

as  evil,  for  the  Sou  of  man's  sake. 
Rejoice  ye  In  that  day,  and  leap 
for  joy;  for,  behold,  your  reward  is 
great  in  heaven:  for  in  the  like 
manner  did  their  fathers  unto  the 
prophets. 

Luke  ix,  24.  For  whosoever  will 
save  his  lite  shall  lose  it:  but  who- 
soever will  lose  his  life  for  my 
sake,  the  same  shall  save  it. 

Luke  xii,  11.  And  when  they 
bring  you  unto  the  synagogues. and 
unto  magistrates,  and  powers, 
take  ye  no  thought  how  or  what 
thing  ye  shall  answer,  or  what  ye 
shall  say. 

Luke  xxi,  14, 15.  Settle  it  there- 
fore in  your  hearts,  not  to  meditate 
before  what  ye  shall  answer:  For 
1  will  give  you  a  mouth  and  wis- 
dom, which  all  your  adversaries 
shall  not  be  able  to  gainsay  nor 
resist. 

John  xvi,  1.  These  things  have 
I  spoken  unto  you,  that  ye  should 
not  be  offended. 

Acts  XX,  24.  But  none  of  these 
things  move  me:  neither  count  I 
my  life  dear  unto  myself,  so  that 
I  might  finish  my  course  with 
joy,  and  the  ministry  which  I 
have  received  of  the  Lord  Jesus, 
to  testify  the  gospel  of  the  grace 
of  God. 

Acts  xxl,  12, 13.  And  when  we 
heard  these  things,  both  we,  and 
they  of  that  place,  besought  him 
not  to  go  up  to  Jerusalem.  Then 
Paul  answered.  What  mean  ye  to 
weep  and  to  break  mine  heart? 
for  1  am  ready  not  to  be  bound 
only,  but  also  to  die  at  Jerusalem 
for  the  name  of  the  Lord  Jesus. 

Eom.  V,  3,  4.  And  not  only  so, 
but  we  glory  in  tribulations  also: 
knowing  that  tribulation  worketh 
patience;  And  patience,  experi- 
ence; and  experience,  hope. 

Rom.  viii,  18.  For  I  reckon,  that 
the  suflerings  of  this  present  time 
are  ncjt  worthy  to  be  compared 
with  the  glory  which  shall  be  re- 
vealed In  us. 

2  Oor.  i,  3-7.  Blessed  be  God, 


©Ten  the  father  of  onr  Cord  Jesus 
Clirist,  tlie  father  of  mercies,  and 
and  the  God  of  all  comfort.  Wlio 
comforteth  us  in  all  our  tribula- 
tion, that  we  may  be  able  to  com- 
fort them  which  are  in  any  trouble, 
by  the  comfort  wherewith  we 
ourselves  are  comforted  of  God. 
For  as  the  sufferings  of  Christ 
abound  in  us,  so  our  consolation 
also  aboundeth  by  Christ.  And 
whether  we  be  afflicted,  it  is  for 
your  consolation  and  salvation, 
which  is  effectual  in  the  enduring 
of  tbe  same  sufferings  which  we 
also  suffer:  or  whether  we  be 
comforted,  it  is  for  your  consola- 
tion and  salvation.  And  our  hope 
of  you  is  stedfast,  knowing,  that 
as  ye  are  partakers  of  the  suffer- 
ings, so  shall  ye  be  also  of  the 
consolation. 

2  Cor.  iv,  8,  9.  We  are  troubled 
on  every  side,  yet  not  distressed; 
toe  are  perplexed,  but  not  in  des- 
pair; Persecuted,  but  not  forsaken; 
cast  down,  but  not  destroyed. 

Phil,  i,  7,  28-30.  Even  as  it  is 
meet  for  me  to  think  this  of  you 
all,  because  I  have  you  in  my 
heart;  inasmuch  as  both  in  my 
bonds,  and  in  the  defence  and 
confirmation  of  the  gospel,  ye  all 
are  partakers  of  my  grace.  And 
in  nothing  terriflud  by  your 
adversaries:  which  is  to  them  an 
evident  token  of  perdition,  but  to 
you  of  salvation,  and  that  of  God. 
For  unto  you  it  is  given  in  the 
behalf  of  Christ,  not  only  to  be- 
lieve on  him,  but  also  to  suffer 
for  his  sake;  Having  the  same 
conflict  which  ye  saw  in  me,  and 
now  hear  to  be  in  me. 

Phil,  ii,  17,  18.  Yea,  and  if  I  be 
offered  upon  the  sacrifice  and  ser- 
vice of  your  faith,  I  joy,  and  re- 
joice with  you  all.  For  the  same 
cause  also  do  ye  joy,  and  rejoice 
with  me. 

2  Thess.  i,  4,  5.  So  that  we  our- 
selves glory  in  you  in  the  churches 
of  God,  for  your  patience  and 
faith  in  all  your  persecutions  and 
tribulations  that  ye  endure; 
Which  is  a  manifest  token  of  the 
righteous  judgment  of  God,  that 
ye  may  be  counted  worthy  of  the 
kingdom  of  God,  for  which  ye 
also  suffer. 

2  Tim.  ii,  10-13.  Therefore  I  en- 
dure all  things  for  the  elect's 
sakes,  that  they  may  also  obtain 
the  salvation  which  is  in  Clirist 
Jesus  with  eternal  glory.  It  is 
a  faithful  saying:  For  if  we  be 
dead  witli  him,  we  shall  also  live 
with  hlm^  If  we  suffer,  we  shall 
also  reign  with  him:  if  we  deny 
him,  he  also  will  deny  us:  If  we 
believe  not,  yet  he  abldeth  faith- 
ful: he  cannot  deny  himself. 

Heb.  xi,  23,  26.  Choosing  rather 
to  sullcr  iifflicti..n  with  the  people 
'it  God,  than  to  enjoy  the  pleasures 


PERSECtTTION", 

of  sin  for  a  season;  Esteeming 
the  reproach  of  Christ  greater 
riches  than  the  treasures  in 
Eyypt:  lor  he  had  respect  unto 
the  recompence  of  the  reward. 

1  Peter  \,  6, 7.  Wherein  ye  great- 
ly rejoice,  though  now  for  a  season 
(if  need  be)  ye  are  in  heaviness 
through  manifold  temptations: 
That  the  trial  of  your  faith,  being 
much  more  precious  than  of  gold 
that  perisheth,  though  it  be  tried 
with  fire,  might  be  found  unto 
praise  and  honour  and  glory  at 
the  appearing  of  Jesus  Christ. 

1  Peter  Hi,  14-17.  But  and  if  ye 
suffer  for  righteousness  sike, 
happy  are  ye:  and  be  not  afraid 
of  their  terror,  neither  be  troubled; 
But  sanctify  the  Lord  God  in 
your  hearts:  and  he  ready  always 
to  give  an  answer  to  every  man 
that  asketh  you  a  reason  of  the 
hope  that  is  in  you  with  meek- 
ness and  fear:  Having  a  good 
conscience;  that,  whereas  they 
speak  evil  of  you,  as  of  evildoers, 
they  may  be  ashamed  that  falsely 
accuse  your  good  conversation  in 
Christ.  For  it  is  better,  if  the 
will  of  God  be  so,  that  ye  suffer 
for  well-doing,  than  for  evil-doing. 

1  Peter  iv,  12-14, 16- 19.  Beloved, 
think  it  not  strange  concerning 
the  fiery  trial  which  is  to  try  you, 
as  though  some  strnnge  thing 
happened  unto  you:  But  rejoice, 
inasmuch  as  ye  are  partakers  of 
Christ's  sufferings;  that,  when  his 
glory  shall  be  revealed,  ye  may  be 
glad  also  with  exceeding  joy.  If 
ye  be  reproached  for  the  name  of 
Christ,  happy  are  ye;  for  the 
Spirit  of  glory  and  of  God  resteth 
upon  you:  on  their  part  he  is  evil 
spoken  of,  but  on  your  part  he  is 
glorified.  Yet  if  any  man  suffer 
as  a  Christian,  let  bim  not  be 
ashamed;  but  let  him  glorify  God 
on  this  behalf.  For  the  time  is 
come  that  judgment  must  begin  at 
the  house  of  God:  and  if  it  first  be- 
gin at  us,  what  shall  the  end  be  of 
them  that  obey  not  the  gospel  of 
God?  And  if  the  righteous  scarcely 
be  saved,  where  shall  the  ungodly 
and  the  sinner  appeal"?  Wherefoie 
let  them  that  suffer  according  to 
the  will  of  God  commit  the  keep- 
ing of  their  souls  to  him  in  well- 
doing, as  unto  a  faithful  Creator. 
Rev.  vll,  14.  These  are  they  which 
came  out  of  great  tribulation.  . . . 
PERSECUTION  TO  BE 
AVOIDED. 

1  Kings  xix,  3.  And  when  he 
saw  that,  he  arose,  and  went  lor 
his  life,  and  came  to  Beersheba, 
which  belongeth  to  Judah,  and  left 
his  servant  there. 

Matth.  X,  16, 17,23.  Behold,  I  send 
you  forth  as  sheep  In  the  midst  of 
wolves:  be  ye  therefore  wise  as 
serpents  and  harmless  as  doves. 
But  beware  of  men;  for  they  will 
534 


deliver  you  up  to  the  councns, 

and  they  will  scour^.  j  .,a  In  their 
synagogues:  Bat  when  they  per- 
secute you  in  this  city,  flee  ye  into 
another:  for  verily  I  say  unto  you. 
Ye  shall  not  have  gone  over  the 
cities  of  Israel,  till  the  Son  of  man 
be  come. 

Acts  xiii,  51,  52.  But  thoy  shook 
off  the  dust  of  their  feet  against 
them,  and  came  unto  Iconium. 
And  the  disciples  were  filled  with

2  Oor.  xi,  32.  In  Damascus  the 
governor  under  Aretas  tlie  king 
kept  the  city  of  the  Damascenes 
with  a  garrison,  desirous  to  ap- 
prehend me;  And  through  a  win- 
dow in  a  basket  was  I  let  down  by 
the  wall,  and  escaped  his  hands. 

DELIVERANCES. 
Ps.  Ixxil,  14.    He  shall  redeem 
their  soul  fromdeceitand  violence; 
and  precious  shall  their  blood  be 
in  his  sight. 

Jer.  xxvi,  16-19, 24.  Then  said 
the  princes  and  all  the  people 
unto  the  priests,  and  to  the  pro- 
phets, This  man  is  not  worthy  to 
die:  for  he  hath  spoken  to  us  in 
the  name  of  the  Lord  our  God. 
Then  rose  up  certain  of  the 
elders  of  the  land,  and  spake  to  all 
the  assembly  of  the  people,  say- 
ing, Micah  the  Morasthite  pro- 
pliesied  in  the  days  of  llezekiah 
king  of  Judah,  and  spake  to  all 
the  people  of  Judah,  saying.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  Zion  shall 
be  plowed  ^^/^e  a  field,  and  Jeru- 
salem shall  become  heaps,  and 
the  mountain  of  the  house  as  the 
high  places  of  a  forest.  Did 
Hezekiah  king  of  Judah  and  all 
Judah  put  him  at  all  to  death?  did 
he  not  tear  the  LoRo.and  besought 
the  Lord,  and  the  Lord  repented 
him  of  the  evil  which  he  had  pro- 
nounced against  them?  Thus 
might  we  procure  great  evil 
against  our  souls.  Nevertheless 
the  hand  of  Ahlkam  the  son  of 
Shaphan  was  Avith  Jeremiah,  that 
they  should  not  give  him  into  the 
hand  of  the  people  to  put  him  to 
death. 

2  Oor.  1, 9, 10.    But  we  had  the 

sentence  of  death  in  ourselves, 
that  we  should  not  trust  in  our- 
selves, but  In  God  which  raiseth 
the  dead;  Who  delivered  us  from 
so  great  a  death,and  doth  delivi  r: 
in  whom  we  trust  that  he  Mill  yet 
deliver  us. 

2  Tim.  ill,  10, 11.  But  thou  hast 
fully  known  my  doctrine,  manner 
of  life,  purpose,  faith,  long-suffer- 
ing, charity,  patience,  Persecu- 
tions, afflictions,  which  came  unto 
me  at  Antioch,  at  Iconium,  at 
Lystra;  what  persecutions  I  en- 
dured: but  out  of  them  all  the 
Lord  delivered  me.

greatly;  I  go  mourning  all  the  day 
long.  For  my  loins  are  filled 
with  a  loathsome  disease;  and 
there  is  no  soundness  In  my  flesh. 
1  am  feeble  and  sore  broken:  I 
have  roared  by  reason  of  the  dls- 
quletness  of  my  heart.  My  heart 
panteth,  my  strength  faileth  me:  as 
for  the  light  of  mine  eyes,  it  also 
Is  gone  from  me. 

Ps.  xl,  12.  For  innumerable 
evils  have  compassed  me  about; 
mine  iniquities  have  taken  hold 
upon  me,  so  that  I  am  not  able  to 
look  up:  they  are  more  than  the 
hairs  of  mine  head;  therefore  my 
heart  faileth  me. 

Prov.  xxvill,  13.  He  that  cover- 
eth  his  sins  shall  not  prosper:  but 
whoso  confesseth  and  forsaketh 
them  shall  have  mercy. 


PRAISE  AND  PRAYER. 


Jer.  \\\,i5.  Only  aclmowledge 
thine  iniquity,  that  thou  hast 
transgressed  against  the  Lord  thy 
God,  and  liast  scattered  thy  ways 
to  the  strangers  under  every 
green  tree,  and  ye  have  not 
obeyed  my  voice,  saith  the  Lobd. 

Gen.  xviil,  27.  And  Abraham 
answered  and  said,  Behold  now. 
I  have  taken  upon  me  to  speak 
unto  the  Lord,  which  am  but  dust 
and  ashes. 

Num.  xiv,  40.  And  they  rose  up 
early  in  the  morning,  and  gat 
them  up  into  the  top  of  the  moun- 
tain, saying,  Lo,  we  be  here,  and 
will  go  up  unto  the  place  which 
the  Lord  hath  promised:  for  we 
have  sinned. 

Judges  X,  10, 15.  And  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  cried  unto  the 
Lord,  saying,  We  have  sinned 
against  thee,  both  because  we 
have  forsaken  our  God,  and  also 
served  Balaam.  And  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  said  unto  the  Lord, 
We  have  sinned:  do  thou  unto  us 
whatsoever  seemeth  good  unto 
thee;  deliver  us  only,  we  pray 
thee,  this  day. 

1  Sam.  xii, .  10.  And  they  cried 
unto  the  Lord,  and  said.  We  have 
sinned,  because  we  iiave  t'Drsaken 
the  Lord,  and  have  served  Balaam 
and  Ashtaroth:  but  now  deliver 
us  out  of  the  hand  of  our  enemies, 
and  we  will  serve  tliee. 

Ezra  ix,  6,  15.  And  said,  O  my 
God,  I  am  ashamed  and  blush  to 
lift  up  my  face  to  thee,  my  God: 
for  our  iniquities  are  increased 
over  our  head,  and  our  trespass  is 
grown  up  unto  the  heavens.  O 
Lord  God  of  Israel,  thou  art 
righteous;  for  we  remain  yet 
escaped,  as  it  is  this  day:  behold, 
we  are  befure  thee  in  our  tres- 
passes; for  we  cannot  stand  before 
thee  because  of  this. 

Neh.  i,  G,  7.  Let  thine  ear  now 
be  attentive,  and  thiae  eyes  open, 
that  thou  mayest  hear  the  prayer 
of  thy  servant,  which  I  pray  be- 
fore thee  now,  day  and  night,  for 
the  children  of  Israel  thy  ser- 
vants, and  confess  the  sins  of  the 
children  of  Israel,  which  we  have 
sinned  against  thee:  both  I  and 
my  father's  house  have  sinned. 
We  have  dealt  very  corruptly 
against  thee,  and  have  not  kept 
the  commandments,  nor  the 
statutes,  nor  the  judgments, 
which  thou  commandedst  thy  ser- 
vant Moses. 

Neh.  ix,  2, 33-35.  And  the  seed  of 
Israel  separated  themselves  from 
all  strangers,  and  stood  and  con- 
fessed their  sins,  and  the  ini- 
quities of  their  fathers.  Hovvbeit 
ttiou  art  just  in  ail  that  is  brouglit 
upon  us;  for  thou  hast  done  rigtit, 
but  we  have  done  wickedly: 
Neither    have    our    kings    our 


princes,  our  priests,  nor  our 
fathers,  kept  thy  law,  nor  hear- 
kened unto  thy  commandments, 
and  thy  testimonies,  wherewith 
thou  didst  testify  against  them. 
For  they  have  not  served  thee  in 
their  kingdom,  and  in  thy  great 
goodness  that  thou  gavest  them, 
and  in  the  large  and  fat  land 
wliich  thou  gavest  before  them, 
neitlier  turned  they  from  their 
wicked  works. 

Job  xl,  4,  5.  Behold,  I  am  vile; 
what  shall  1  answer  thee?  I  will 
lay  mine  hand  upon  my  mouth. 
Once  have  I  spoken,  but  I  will 
not  answer;  yea,  twice,  but  I  will 
proceed  uo  further. 

Ps.  xxxvlil,  18.  For  I  will  declare 
mine  iniquity;  I  will  be  sorry  for 
my  sin. 

Fs.  11,  3,4.  For  I  acknowledge 
my  transgressions;  and  my  sin  is 
ever  before  me.  Against  thee, 
tliee  only,  have  I  sinned,  and  done 
this  evil  in  thy  sight;  that  thou 
niigiitest  be  justified  when  thou 
spt'ukest,  and  be  clear  when  thou 
judgest. 

Ps.  Ixix,  5.  O  God,  thou  know- 
est  my  foolishness;  and  my  sins 
are  not  hid  from  thee. 

Ps.  cvi,  6,  7.  We  have  sinned 
with  our  fathers,  we  have  com- 
mitted iniquity,  we  have  done 
wicl^edly.  Our  fathers  under- 
stood not  thy  wonders  in  Egypt; 
they  remembered  not  the  multi- 
tude of  thy  mercies;  but  provoked 
him  at  the  sea,  even  at  the  Red 
sea. 

Ps.  cxix,  176.  I  have  gone  astray 
like  a  lost  sheep;  seek  thy  servant: 
for  I  do  not  forget  thy  command- 
ments. 

Ps.  cxxx,  3.  If  thou.  Lord, 
shouldest  mark  iniquities,  O  Lord, 
who  shall  stand? 

Isa.  vi,  5.  Then  said  I,  Woe  is 
me!  for  I  am  undone;  because  I 
am  a  man  of  unclean  lips,  and  I 
dwell  in  the  midst  of  a  people  of 
unclean  lips:  for  mine  eyes  have 
seen  the  King,  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

Isa.  lix,  12,  13.  For  our  trans- 
gressions are  multiplied  before 
thee,  and  our  sins  testify  against 
us:  for  our  transgressions  are  with 
us;  and  as  for  our  iniquities,  we 
know  them;  In  transgressing 
and  lying  against  the  Lord,  and 
di-partiug  away  from  our  God, 
speaking  oppression  and  revolt, 
conceiving  and  uttering  from  the 
heart  words  of  falsehood. 

Jer.  iii,  25.  We  lie  down  in  our 

shame,  and  our  confusion  cover- 

eth  us:  for  we  have  sinned  against 

the  Lord  our  God,  we  and  our 

fathers,  from  our  youth  even  unto 

I  this  (lay,  and  have  not  obeyed  the 

I  voice  of  the  Lord  our  God. 

i     Jer.  xiv,  7,  20.   O  Lord,  though 

541 


our  Iniquities  testify  against  na, 
do  thou  it  for  thy  name's  sake:  for 
our  backslidings  are  many;  we 
have  sinned  against  thee.  We 
acknowledge,  O  Lord,  our  wicked- 
ness, and  the  iniquity  of  our 
fathers;  for  we  have  sinned 
against  thee. 

Lam.  1,  18.  The  Lord  is  right- 
eous; for  I  have  rebelled  against 
his  commandment:  hear,  I  pray 
you,  all  people,  and  behold  my 
sorrow;  my  virgins,  and  my  young 
men  are  gone  into  captivity. 

Lam.  iii,  42.  We  have  trans- 
gressed, and  liave  rebelled:  thou 
hast  not  pardoned. 

Lam.  V,  16.  The  crown  is  fallen 
from  our  head:  woe  unto  us,  that 
we  have  sinned! 

Dan.  ix,  5-8,  10-15.  We  have 
sinned,  and  have  committed 
iniquity,  and  have  done  wickedly, 
and  have  rebelled,  even  by  de- 
parting from  thy  precepts,  and 
from  thy  judgments;  Neither 
have  we  hearkened  unto  thy  ser- 
vants tlie  prophets,  wliich  spake 
in  thy  name  to  our  kings,  our 
princes,  and  onr  fathers,  and  to 
all  the  people  of  the  land.  O 
Lord,  righteousness  belongeth 
unto  thee,  but  unto  us  confusion 
of  faces,  as  at  this  day;  to  the  men 
of  Judah,  and  to  the  inhabitants 
of  Jerusalem,  and  unto  all  Israel 
that  are  near,  and  that  are  far  off, 
through  all  the  countries  whither 
thou  hast  driven  them  because  of 
their  trespass  that  they  have 
trespassed  as^ainst  thee.  O  Lord, 
to  us  belongeth  confusion  of  face, 
to  our  kings,  to  our  princes,  and 
to  our  fathers,  because  we  have 
sinned  against  thee.  Neither 
have  we  obeyed  the  voice  of  the 
Lord  our  God,  to  walk  in  his  laws, 
which  he  set  before  us  by  his  ser- 
vants the  prophets.  Yea,  all 
Israel  have  transgressed  thy  law, 
even  by  departing,  that  they 
might  not  obey  thy  voice;  there- 
fore the  curse  is  poured  upon  us, 
and  the  oath  that  is  written  in  the 
law  of  Moses  the  servant  of  God, 
because  we  have  sinned  against 
him.  And  he  hath  confirmed  his 
words,  which  he  spake  against 
us,  and  against  our  judges  that 
judged  us,  by  bringing  upon  us 
a  great  evil:  lor  under  the  whole 
heaven  hath  not  been  done  as 
hath  been  done  upon  Jerusalem. 
As  it  is  written  in  the  law  of 
Moses,  all  this  evil  is  come  upon 
us:  yet  made  we  not  our  prayer 
before  the  Lord  our  God,  that  we 
might  turn  from  our  iniquities, 
and  understand  thy  truth.  There- 
fore hath  the  Lord  watched  upon 
the  evil,  and  brought  it  upon  us: 
for  the  Loi.D  our  God  is  righteous 
in  all  his  works  which  he  doeth: 
for  we  obeyed  not  his  voice.  And 
now.  0  Lord  our  God,  that  hast

tho  land  of  Egypt  with  a  mighty

have  done  wicliedly. 

CONFESSION  OP  SIN  TO 
OTHERS. 

JosJi.  vii,  19.  And  Joshua  said 
unto  Achan,  My  son.  give,  I  pray 
thee,  glory  to  the  J^ord  God  of 
Israel,  and  make  confession  unto 
him;  and  tell  me  now  what  thou 
hast  done;  hide  it  not  from  me. 

James  v,  16.  Confess  your  faults 
one  to  another,  and  pray  one  for 
anotlier,  that  ye  may  be  healed. 
Tlie  eir<'ctual  fervent  prayer  of  a 
righteous  man  availeth  much. 

Gen.  xli,  9.  Then  spake  the 
chief  butler  unto  Pharaoh,  >aying, 
I  do  remember  my  faults  this 
day. 

Exod.  ix,  27.  And  Pharaoh  sent, 
and  cidle  1  lor  Moses  and  Aaron, 
and  said  unto  them,  I  have  sinned 
this  time:  the  Lord  is  righteous, 
and  I  and  my  people  are  wicked. 

Num.  xxi,  7.  Therefore  the  peo- 
ple came  to  xMoses,  and  said,  We 
have  sinned;  for  we  have  spoken 
against  the  Lord,  and  against 
thee 

Joshua  vii,  20.  And  Achan  an- 
swered Joshua,  and  said,  Indeed 
I  have  sinned  against  the  Lord 
God  of  Israel,  and  thus  and  thus 
have  I  done. 

1  Sam.  XV,  24.  And  Saul  said 
onto  Samuel,  I  have  sinned:  fur  I 
have  transgressed  the  command- 
ment of  tlie  Lord,  and  thy  words, 
becauie  I  reared  the  people,  and 
obeyed  their  voice. 

1  Sam.  xxvl,  21.  Then  said  Saul, 
I  have  sinned:  return,  my  son 
David;  for  I  will  no  more  do  thee 
harm,  because  my  soul  was  pre- 
cious in  thine  eyes  this  day: 
behold,  I  have  played  the  fool, 
and  have  erred  exceedingly. 

2  Sam.  xix,  19,  20.  And  said 
unto  the  king,  Let  not  my  lord 
impute  iniquity  unto  me,  neitlier 
do  thou  remember  that  which  ti.y 
servant  did  perversely  tlie  day 
that  my  lord  the  king  went  out  of 
Jerusalem,  that  the  king  should 
take  it  to  his  heart.  For  thy  ser- 
Vaiitdoih  know  that  I  havesinned: 
therelore,  behold.  I  am  come  the 
first  tills  day  of  all  the  house  of 
Josep  1  to  go  down  to  meet  my 
lord  the  king. 

PETITION. 

Based  upon  the  Divine 

Promises. 

Oen.  xxxll,  12.  And  thou  saldst, 

1   will  surely  do  thee  good,  and 

make  thy  beed  as  the  saud  of  the 


sea,  which  cannot  be  numbered 
for  multitude. 

2  Ghron.  vi,  16, 17.  Now  there- 
fore, O  Lord  God  of  Israel,  keep 
with  thy  servant  David  my  father 
that  which  thou  hast  promised 
him,  saying.  There  i-hall  not  fail 
thee  a  man  in  my  sight  to  sit  upon 
tlie  throne  of  Israel;  yet  so  that 
thy  children  take  heed  to  their 
way  to  walk  in  my  law  as  thou 
hast  walked  before  me.  Now 
then,  O  Lord  God  of  Israel,  let 
thy  word  be  verified,  which  thou 
hast  spoken  unto  thy  servant 
David. 

Neh.  1,  8-10.  Remember,  I  be- 
seech thee,  the  word  that  thou 
commandedst  thy  servant  Moses, 
•saying,//ye  trangress,I  willscatter 
you  abroad  among  the  nations: 
But  if  ye  turn  unto  me,  and  keep 
my  commandments,  and  do  them; 
Miough  there  were  of  you  cast 
out  unto  the  uttermost  part  of  the 
heaven,  yet  will  I  gather  them 
from  thence,  and  will  bring  them 
unto  the  place  that  I  have  chosen 
to  set  my  name  there.  Now  these 
are  thy  servants  and  thy  people, 
whom  thou  hast  redeemed  by  thy 
groat  power,  and  by  thy  strong 
hand. 

Keh.  Ix,  32.    Now  therefore, 

our  God,  the  great,  the  mighty, 
and  the  terrible  God,  who  keepest 
covenant  and  mercy,  let  not  all 
the  trouble  seem  little  before  thee 
that  halh  come  upon  us,  on  our 
kings,  on  our  princes,  and  on  our 
priests,  and  on  our  prophets,  and 
on  our  fathers,  and  on  all  thy 
people,  since  the  time  of  the 
kings  of  Assyria  unto  this  day. 

Ps.  cxix,  49, 169, 170.  Remember 
the  word  unto  thy  servant, 
upon  which  thou  hast  caused 
me  to  hope.  Let  my  cry  come 
near  before  thee,  O  Lord:  give 
me  understanding  accordit  g  to 
thy  word.  Let  my  supplication 
come  before  thee:  deUver  me  ac- 
cording to  thy  word. 

Jer.  xiv,  21.  Do  not  abhor  us, 
for  thy  name's  sike;  do  not  dis- 
grace the  throne  of  thy  glory:  re- 
member, break  not  thy  covenant 
with  us.

Exod.  xvii,  4.  And  Moses  cried 
unto  the  Lord,  saying,  What  shall 
1   do  unto  this  people?  they   be 
almost  ready  to  stone  me. 

Deut.  lil,  23,  24.  And  I  besought 
the  Lord  at  that  time,  saying, 
O  Lord  God,  thou  hast  begun  to 
siiow  thy  servant  thy  greatness, 
and  thy  mighty  hand:  for  what 
God  is  there  in  heaven  or  in 
earth  that  can  do  acciirding  to 
tliy  works,  and  according  to  thy 
might? 

Fa,  xii,  1.  Help,  Lord;  for  the

of  men. 

Jonah  i,  14.  Wherefore  they 
cried  unto  the  Lord,  and  said. 
We  beseech  thee,  O  Lord,  we  be- 
seech thee,  let  us  not  perish  for 
this  man's  life,  and  lay  not  upon 
us  innocent  blood:  for  thou,  O 
Lord,  hast  done  as  it  pleased 
thee. 

Upon  the  Djvine  Goodness. 

1  Kings  ill,  6,  7.  And  Solomon 
said.  Thou  hast  shewed  unto  thy 
servant  David  my  father  great 
meroy,  according  as  he  walked 
before  thee  in  truth,  and  in  right- 
eousness, and  in  uprightness  of 
heart  with  thee;  and  thou  hast 
kept  for  him  this  great  kindness, 
that  thou  hast  given  him  a  son  to 
sit  on  his  throne,  as  it  is  this  day. 
And  now,  O  Lord,  my  God,  tlh  u 
hast*  made  thy  servant  king 
instead  of  David  my  father;  and  I 
am  but  a  little  child:  I  know  not 
how  to  go  out  or  come  in. 

Fa.  XXV,  6.  Remember,  O  Lord, 
thy  tender  mercies  and  thy  ioving'- 
kindnesses;  for  they  have  be4>n 
ever  of  old. 

Fs.  xxvii,9.  Hide  not  thy  face 
far  from  me;  put  not  thy  servant 
away  in  anger:  tliou  hast  been  my 
help;  leave  me  not,  neither  for- 
sake me,  O  God  of  my  salvation. 

Fs,  Ivl,  13.  For  thou  hast  de- 
livered my  soul  from  death:  wilt 
not  thou  deliver  my  feet  from 
failin:r,  that  1  may  walk  before 
God  in  the  light  of  the  living? 
Isa.  Ixiii,  15.  Look  down  from 
heaven,  and  behol  1  from  the 
habitation  of  thy  holiness  and  of 
thy  glory:  where  is  thy  zeal  and 
thy  strength,  the  sounding  of  thy 
bowels  and  of  thy  mercies  toward 
me?    Are  they  restrained? 

Ban.  ix,  17-19.  Now  therefore 
O  our  God,  hear  the  prayer  of  thy 
servant,  and  his  supplications, 
and  cau-e  thy  face  to  shine  upon 
thy  sanctuary  Hiat  is  desolate,  fur 
the  Lord's  sake.  0  my  God,  in- 
cline thine  ear,  and  hear,  open 
thine  eyes,  and  behold  our  desol- 
ations, and  the  city  which  is  culled 
by  thy  name:  for  we  do  not  pre- 
sent our  supplications  before  thee 
for  our  rigliteousuess,  but  for  thy 
great  mercies.  O  Lord,  hear, 
O  Lord,  forgive;  O  I^ord,  heaiken 
and  do;  defer  not,  lor  thine  own 
sake,  O  my  God:  for  thy  city  and 
thy  people  are  called  by  thy 
name.

destroy  and  not  spare  the  place 
for  the  fifty  righteous  that  are 
therein?  That  be  far  from  thee  to 
do  after  this  manner,  to  slay  the 
righteous  with  the  wiclced:  and

wilt  tliou  destroy  all  the  city  for

not  destroy  it.  And  he  spake 
unto  him  yet  again,  and  s  \id,  Per- 
adventure  tliere  shall  be  forty 
fonnd  there.  And  he  said,  I  will 
not  do  it  for  forty's  sake.  And  he 
said  unto  him,  Oli  let  not  tlie 
Lord  be  angry,  and  I  will  sppak: 
Perudventure  tliere  shall  thirty

And  hesiiil.Beliold  now,  I  have

said,  I  will  not  destroy  it  for 
twenty's  sake.  And  he  said,  Oh 
let  not  the  Lord  be  angry,  and  I 
will  speak  yet  but  this  otice:  Per-

there.  And  he  said,  I  will  not 
destroy  it  for  ten's  SAke.

Exod.  xxxii,  11, 12.  And  Moses 
besought  the  Lord  his  God,  and

thou  hast  brought  f. )rtli  out  of  the 
land  of  Egypt  with  great  power,

fore should  the  Egyptians  speak, 
and  say.  For  miscljiet  did  he  bring 
them  out,  to  slay  them  in  the 
mounfaiii8,and  to  consume  them 
from  the  face  of  the  earth?  Turn 
from  thy  fierce  wrath,  and  repent 
of  this  evil  against  thy  people. 

Num.  xiv,  13-16.  And  Moses 
said  unto  the  Lord,  Then  the 
Egyptians  shall  hear  it,  (for  thou 
broughtest  up  this  people  in  thy 
might  from  among  them,)  And 
they  will  tell  it  to  the  inhabitants 
of  tlii-i  land:  for  hey  have  heard 
that  thou.  Lord,  art  among  this 
people;  that  thou,  Lord,  art  seen 
face  to  face;  ami  that  thy  cloud 
standeth  over  them;  and  that  thou 
goest  before  them,  by  day-time  in 
a  pillar  of  a  cloud,  and  In  a  pillar 
of  fire  by  night.  Now,  if  thou 
Shalt  kill  all  this  people  as  one 


man,  then  the  nations,  which 
have  heard  the  fame  of  thee,  will 
speak,  saying.  Because  the  Lord 
was  not  able  to  bring  this  people 
Into  the  land  which  he  swareunto 
them,  therefore  he  hath  slain 
them  in  the  wilderness. 

Deut.  ix,  28,  29.  Lest  the  land 
whencethoubroughtest  us  out  say. 
Because  the  Lord  was  not  able 
to  bring  them  into  the  land 
which  he  promised  them,  and 
because  he  hated  them,  he  hath 
brought  them  out  to  slay  them  in 
the  wilderness.  Yet,  they  are 
thy  people,  and  thine  inheritance, 
which  thou  broughtest  out  by  thy 
mighty  ptiwer,  and  by  tliy 
stretched-out  arm.

fore hast  thou  at  all  brought  this 
people  over  Jordan,  to  deliver  us 
into  the  hand  of  the  Amorites,  to 
destroy  us?  would  to  God  we  had 
been  content,  and  dwelt  on  the 
other  side  Jordan!  O  Lord,  what 
shall  I  say,  when  Israel  turneth 
their  backs  before  their  enemies? 
For  the  Canaanites,  and  all  the 
inhabitants  of  the  land,  shall  hear 
of  it,  and  sliall  environ  us  round, 
and  cut  off  our  nime  from  the 
earth:  and  what  wilt  thou  do  unto 
thy  great  name.

known  this  day  that  thou  art  God 
in  Israel,  and  that  I  am  thy  ser- 
vant, and  that  1  have  done  all 
these  things  at  thy  word.  Hear 
me,  O  Lord,  hear  me,  that  this 
people  may  know  that  thou  art 
the  Lord  God,  and  that  thou  hast 
turned  their  lieart  back  again.

which  hath  sent  to  reproach  tlie 
living  God.  Now  therefore,  O 
Lord  our  God,  save  us  from  his 
hand,  that  all  the  kingdoms  of  the 
earth  may  know  that  thou  art  the 
Lord,  even  thou  only.

I  have  chosen  the  way  of  truth:

Abraham,  Isaac,  and  of  Israel,

of  the  heart  of  thy  people,  and 
prepare  their  heart  unto  thee.

and  bless  thine  inheritance:  feed 
them  also,  and  lift  them  up  for 
ever. 

Ps.  Ixxiv,  2,  3.  Remember  thy 
congregation,  which  thou  hast 
purchased  of  old;  the  rod  of  thine 
inheritance,  which  thou  hast  re- 
deemed; this  mount  Zion,  wherein 
thou  hast  dwelt.  Lift  up  thy  feet 
unto  the  perpetual  desolations, 
even  all  that  the  enemy  hath  done 
wickedly  in  the  sanctuary. 

Ps.  Ixxix,  8,  9.  O  remember  not 
against  us  former  iniquities:  let 
thy  tender  mercies  speedily  pre- 
vent us;  for  we  are  brought  very 
low.  Help  us,  O  God  of  our  sal- 
vation, for  the  glory  of  thy  name; 
and  deliver  us,  and  purge  away 
our  sins,  for  thy  name's  sake. 

Ps.  Ixxx,  1,  2.  Give  ear,  O  Shep- 
herd of  Israel,  thou  that  leadest 
545 


Joseph    like  a   flock;    thou  that 

dwellest  between  the  cherubiras, 
shine  forth.  Before  Ephraim  and 
Menjamin  and  Man:is&eh  stir  up 
thy  strength,  and  cume  a7id  save 
us. 

Ps.  cvi,  4,  5.  Remember  me,  O 
Lord,  with  the  favour  that  thou 
bearest  unto  thy  people:  O  visit 
me  with  thy  salvation;  That  I 
may  see  the  good  of  thy  chosen, 
that  I  may  rejoice  in  tiie  gladness 
of  thy  nation,  that  I  may  glory 
with  thine  inheritance.

people.

thyself  in  times  of  trouble? 

Ps.  XXV,  22.  Redeem  Israel,  O 
God,  out  of  all  his  troubles. 

Ps.  xliv,  23-25.  Awake,  why 
sleepest  thou,  O  Lord?  arise,  cast 
us  not  off  for  ever.  Wherefore 
hidest  thou  thy  face,  and  foryet- 
te.st  our  afflicuon  and  our  oppres- 
sion? For  our  soul  is  bowed  down 
to  the  dust,  our  belly  cleaveth 
unto  the  earth. 

Ps.  Ix,  1,  11, 12.  O  God,  thou  hast 
cast  us  ott;  thou  hast  scattered  us, 
thou  hast  been  displeased;  O  turn 
thyself  to  us  again.  Give  us  help 
from  trouble:  for  vain  is  the  help 
of  man.  Through  God  we  shall 
do  valiantly:  for  he  it  is  that  shall 
tread  down  our  enemies. 

Ps.  Ixxiv,  19.  O  deliver  not  the 
soul  ot  thy  turtle-dove  unto  tlie 
multitude  of  the  loicked:  lorget 
not  the  congregation  of  thy  poor 
for  ever. 

Ps.  Ixxx,  5,  6, 14, 15.  Thou  feed- 
est  them  with  the  bread  of  tears; 
and  givest  them  tears  to  drink  in 
great  measure.  Thou  makest  us 
a  strife  unto  our  neighbours;  and 
our  enemies  laugh  among  them- 
selves. Return,  we  beseech  tliee, 
O  God  of  hosts:  look  cloun  from 
heaven,  and  behold,  and  visit  this 
vine;  And  the  vineyard  which 
thy  right  hand  hath  planted,  and 
the  branch  ^that  thou  madest 
strong  for  thyself. 

Jer.  xiv,  19.  Hast  thou  utterly 
rejected  Judah?  hath  thy  soul 
loathed  Zion?  why  hast  thou 
smitten  us,  and  there  is  no  healing 
for  us?  we  looked  for  peace,  and 
there  is  no  good;  and  for  tlie  time 
of  healing,  and  behold  troublel 

Lam.  i,  19,  20.  I  called  for  my 
lovers,  but  they  deceived  me:  my 
priests  and  mine  elders  gave  up 
the  ghost  in  the  city,  while  they 
sought  their  meat  to  relieve  their 
souls.  Behold,  O  Lord,  for  I  am 
In  distress:  my  bowels  are  troub- 


led:  mine  heart  la  turned  within 
me;  for  I  have  grievously  rebell- 
ed: abroad  the  sword  bereaveth, 
at  home  there  is  as  death. 

Ezek.  Ix,  8.  And  it  came  to  pass, 
while  they  were  slaying  tliem,

face,  and  cried,  and  said.  All  Lord 
God!  wilt  thou  destroy  all  the 
residue  of  Israel  in  thy  pnuring 
out  of  thy  fury  upon  Jerusalem? 

Daniel  Ix,  16.  O  Lord,  accord- 
ing to  all  thy  righteousness,  I 
beseech  thee,  let  thine  anger  and 
thy  fury  be  turned  away  from 
thy  city  Jerusalem,  thy  holy 
mountain

enemies  perish,  O  Lord:  but  let

years.

ecius,  to  give  hiiii  according  to  his 
righteousness.  Wlieu  thy  people 
Israel  be  smitten  down  before  the 
enemy,  because  tiiey  have  sinned 
against  thee,  and  shall  turn  again 
to  thee,  and  confess  thy  name, 
and  pray,  arid  make  supplication 
unto  tliee  In  this  house:  Then 
hear  thou  in  heaven,  and  forgive 
the  sin  of  thy  people  Israel,  and 
bring  them  again  unto  the  laud 
which  tliou  gavpst  unto  their 
fathers.  If  thy  people  go  out  to 
battle  against  their  enemy, 
whitliersoever  thou  shalt  send 
them,  and  shall  pray  unto  the 
LoED  toward  the  city  which  thou 
hast  chosen,  and  toioard  the  liouse

Then  hear  thou  in  heaven  their 
prayer  and  their  supplication,  and 
maintain  their  cause.

thee,  save  thou  us  out  of  his  hand, 
that  all  the  kingdoms  of  the  earth 
may  know  that  thou  art  the  Lord 
God,  even  thou  only.  Then 
Isaiah  the  son  of  Amoz  sent  to 
Hezeklah,  saying.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  of  Israel,  That  which 
thou  bast  prayed  to  me  against 
Sennacherib  king  of  Assyria  I 
have  heard. 

2  Chron.  vi,  24,  25,  34,  36.  And

unto  the  Lord  his  God,  and  said, 
Lord,  it  is  nothing  with  thee  to 
help,  whether  with  many,  or 
with  them  that  have  no  power: 
help  us,  O  Lord  our  God;  for  we 
rest  on  thee,  and  in  thy  name  we 
go  against  this  multitude.  O 
Lord,  thou  art  our  God;  let  not 
man  prevail  against  thee. 

2  Qhron.  xx,  12, 13.  O  our  God, 
wilt  thou  not  judge  them?  for  we 
have  no  might  against  this  great 
company  that  cometh  against  us; 
neither  know  we  what  to  do:  but 
our  eyes  are  upon  thee.  And  all 
Judah  stood  before  the  Lord, 
with  their  little  ones,  their  wives,

Ps.  xliv,  4, 6.  Thou  art  my  King, 
O  God:  command  deliverances 
for  Jacob.  Through  thee  will

them  under  that  rise  up  against 
us. 

i^.  lx,9,10.  Who  will  bring  me 
into  the  strong  city?  who  will  lead 
me  into  Edora?  Wilt  not  thou, 
O  God,  which  hadst  cast  us  olT? 
and  thou,  O  God,  which  didst  not 
go  out  with  our  armies. 

Ps.  Ixxlv,  22,  23.  Arise,  O  God, 
plead  thine  own  cause:  remember 
how  the  foolish  man  reproactieth 
thee  daily.  Forget  not  the  voice 
of  thine  enemies:  the  tumult  of 
those  that  rise  up  against  thee 
increaseth  continually.

their  God?  let,  him  be  known 
among  the  heatlien  in  our  sight 
by  the  revenging  of  the  blood  of 
thyservants  which  is  shed.  Let  the 
sighing  of  the  prisoner  come  before 
thee;  according  to  the  greatness  of 
thypower  preserve  thou  those  that 
ar  ■  appointed  to  die;  And  render 
unt(j  our  neighbours  seven-fold 
into  their  bosom  their  reproach, 
wherewith  they  have  reproached 
thee,  O  Lord.

me  into  the  strong  city?  who 
will  lead  me  into  Edom?  Wilt 
not  thou,  O  God,  loho  hast  cast  ua 
off?  and  wilt  not  thou,  O  God,  go 
forth  with  our  hosts?  Give  us 
help  from  trouble:  for  vain  is  the 
help  of  man.  Through  God  we 
shall  do  valiantly:  for  he  it  is  that  \ 
shall  tread  down  our  enemies.

made  war  with  the  Hagarites, 
with  Jetur,  and  Nephish,  and 
Nodab.  And  they  were  helped 
against  them,  and  the  Hagarites 
were  delivered  into  their  hand, 
and  all  that  were  with  them:  for 
they  cried  to  God  in  the  battle, 
and  he  was  entreated  of  them; 
because  they  put  their  trust  in 
him. 

2  Chron.  xlii,  14-16.  And  when 
Judah  l(;oked  back,  behold,  the 
battle  was  before  and  behind:  and 
they  cried  unto  the  Lord  and  the 
priests  sounded  with  the  trum- 
pets. Then  the  men  of  Judah 
gave  a  shout:  and  as  the  men  of 
Judah  shouted,  it  came  to  pass, 
that  God  smote  Jeroboam  and  all 
Israel  before  Abijah  and  Judah, 
And  the  children  of  Israel  fled 
before  Judah:  and  God  delivered 
them  into  their  hand. 

Ps.  XX,  5.  We  will  rejoice  In  thy 
salvation,  and  in  the  name  of  our 
God  we  will  set  up  our  banners:

That  thine  eyes  may  be  open  upon 
this  house  day  and  night,  upon 
the  place  whereof  thou  hast  said 
that  thou  wouldest  put  thy  name 
there;  to  hearken  unto  the  prayer 
which  thy  servant  prayeth  toward 
this  place.  Hearken  therefore 
unto  the  supplications  of  thy  ser-

which  they  shall  make  toward 
this  place:  hear  thou  from  thy 
dwelling-place,  even  from  heaven;

prayer,  or  what  supplication  so-  . 
ever  shall  be  made  of  any  man, 
or  of  all  thy  people  Israel,  when 
every  one  shall  know  his  own

Whither  they  are  carried  captive,

If  they  return  to  thee  with  all  their 
heart,  and  with  all  their  soul,  in 
the  land  of  their  captivity,whither 
they  have  carried  them  captives, 
and  pray  toward  their  land.which 
thou  gavest  unto  their  fathers, 
and  toward  the  city  which  thou 
hast  cliosen,  and  toward  the  house 
which  I  have  built  for  thy  name: 
Then  hear  thou  from  the  heavens, 
even  from  thy  dwelling-place, 
their  prayer  and  their  supplica-

now  be  attentive,  and  thine  eyes 
open,  that  thou  mayest  hear  the 
prayer  of  thy  servant,  which  I 
pray  before  thee  now,  day  and 
night,  for  the  children  of  Israel

of  the  children  of  Israel,  which 
we  have  sinned  against  thee:

done  for  you.

O  love  the  Lord,  all  ye  his  saints; 
for  the  Lord  preserveth  the  faith- 
ful, and  plentifully  rewardeth  the 
proud  doer.  Be  of  good  courage, 
and  he  shall  strengthen  your 
heart,  all  ye  that  hope  in  the 
Lord. 

Ps.  xxxiy,4-7, 15-17. 1  souglit  the 
Lord,  and  he  heard  me,  and  de- 
livered me  from  all  my  fears. 
They  looked  unto  him,  and  were 
lightened;  and  their  faces  were 
not  ashamed.  Tins  poor  man 
cried,  and  the  Lord  heard  hiin, 
and  saved  him  out  of  all  his 
troubles.  The  angel  of  the  Lord 
encampeth  round  about  them 
that  fear  him,  and  dellvereth  them. 
The  eyes  of  the  Lord  are  upon 
the  righteous,  and  his  ears  are

evil,  to  cut  oBf  the  remembrance

trouble,  and  I  delivered  thee;  I 
answered  thee  in  the^secret  place 
of  thunder;  I  proved  thee  at  the 
waters  of  Meribah.    Selah. 

Ps.  xclx,  6.  Moses  and  Aaron

among  them  that  call  upon  his 
name:  they  called  upon  the  Lord, 
and  he  answered  them.

called  upon  thee:  thou  saidst, 
Fear  not. 

Dan.  ix,  3, 4.  And  I  set  my  face 
unto  the  Lord  God,  to  seek  by 
prayer  and  supplications,  with 
fasting,  and  sackcloth,  and  ashes:

God,  and  made  my  confession, 
and  said,  O  Lord,  the  great  and

commandments.

shall  Jacob  arise?  for  he  is  small. 
Tlie  Lord  repented  for  this:  It 
sliall  not  be,  saith  the  Lord. 
Thus  hath  the  Lord  GoD  shewed 
unto  me;  and,  behold,  the  Lord 
God  called  to  contend  by  Are,  and 
it  devoured  the  great  deep,  and 
did  eat  up  a  part.  Then  said  I, 
O  Lord  God,  cease,  I  beseech 
thee:  by  whom  shall  Jacob  arise? 
for  he  i$  small.  Tlie  Lord  re- 
pented for  this:  This  also  shall 
not  be,  saith  the  Lord  God.

thou  thy  face,  and  boldest  me  for 
thine  enemy? 

Job  XXX,  20,  21.  I  cry  unto  thee, 
and  thou  dost  not  hear  me;  I 
stand  up,  and  thou  regardest  me 
not.  Thou  art  become  cruel  to 
me;  with  thy  strong  hand  thou 
opposGst  thyself  against  me. 

Ps.  xxii,  1,  2.  My  God,  my  God, 
why  hast  thou  forsaken  me?  wht/ 
art  thou  so  far  from  helping  me,

day-time,  but  thou  hearest  not; 
and  in  the  night-season,  and  am 
not  silent. 

Ps.  Ixix,  3. 1  am  weary  of  my  cry-

hosts,  how  long  wilt  thou  be

people? 

Ps.  Ixxxv,  4-6.  Turn  us,  O  God 
of  our  salvation,  and  cause  thine 
anger  toward  us  to  cease.  Wilt 
thou  be  angry  with  us  for  ever? 
wilt  thou  draw  out  thine  anger  to 
all  generations?  Wilt  thou  not 
revive  us  again,  that  thy  people 
may  rejoice  in  thee? 

Ps.  Ixxxi.K,  46.  How  long,  Lord? 
wilt  thou  hide  ti^yself  lor  everf 
shall  thy  wrath  burn  like  fire? 

Lam.  ill,  8,  44.  Also  when  I  cry 
and  shout,  he  shutteth  out  my 
prayer.  Thou  hast  covered  tliy. 
self  with  a  cloud,  that  our  prayer 
should  not  pass  through. 

llab.  i,  2.  O  Lord,  how  long  shall

abode  there.

PRAISE  AlTD  PRAYER. 


Job  XXX,  24.  Howbelt,  he  will 
not  stretch  out  Ms  hand  to  the 
grave,  though  they  cry  in  his 
destruction. 

Ps.  xviii,  41.  They  cried,  but 
there  teas  none  to  save  them;  even 
unto  the  Lobd,  but  he  answered 
them  not. 

Oant.  V,  6.  I  opened  to  my 
beloved;  but  my  beloved  had 
withdrawn  himself,  a«d  was  gone: 
my  soul  failed  when  he  spake:  I 
sought  him,  but  I  could  not  find 
him;  I  called  him,  but  he  gave  me 
no  answer. 

Jer.  xi,  11.  Therefore  thus  saith 
the  Lord,  Behold,  I  will  bring 
evil  upon  them,  which  they  shall 
not  be  able  to  escape;  and  though 
they  shall  cry  uuto  me,  I  will  not 
hearken  uuto  them. 

Jer.  XV,  1.  Then  said  the  Lord 
unto  me,  Though  Moses  and 
Samuel  stood  before  me,  yet  ray 
mind  could  not  he  toward  this 
people:  cast  them  out  of  my  eight, 
and  let  them  go  forth. 

Hosea  v,  6.  They  shall  go  with 
their  flocks  and  with  their  herds 
to  seek  the  Lord;  but  they  shall 
not  find  him:  he  hath  withdrawn 
himself  from  them. 

The  Reasons. 

Devi:  iii,  25,  26.  1  pray  thee,  let 
me  go  over  and  see  the  good  land 
that  is  beyond  Jordan,  that  good- 
ly mountain,  and  Lebanon.  But 
the  Lord  was  wroth  with  me  for 
your  sakos,  and  would  not  hear 
me;  and  tlie  Lord  said  unto  me, 
Let  it  suffice  thee;  speak  no  more 
unto  me  of  this  matter. 

Judges  x,  12,  13.  The  Zidon- 
ians  also,  and  the  Amalekites,  and 
the  Maonites,  did  oppress  you; 
and  ye  cried  to  me,  and  I  de- 
livered you  out  of  their  hand. 
Yet  ye  have  forsaken  me,  and 
served  other  gods:  wherefore  I 
will  deliver  you  no  more. 

/o&xxxv,  12,  13.  There  they 
cry,  but  none  giveth  answer, 
because  of  the  pride  of  evil  men. 
Surely  God  will  not  hear  vanity, 
neither  will  the  Almighty  regard 
It. 

Ps.  Ixvi,  18.  If  I  regard  Ini- 
quity in  my  heart,  the  Lord  will 
not  hear  me. 

Prov.  \,  24-28.  Because  I  have 
called,  and  ye  refused;  I  have 
stretched  out  my  hand,  and  no 
man  regarded;  But  ye  have  set 
at  nought  all  my  counsel,  and 
would  none  of  my  reproof:  I  also 
will  laugh  at  your  calamity;  I  will 
mock  when  your  fear  cometh. 
When  your  fear  cometh  as  deso- 
lation, and  your  destruction  com- 
eth as  a  whirlwind;  when  distress 
and  anguish  cometh  upon  you: 
Then  shall  they  call  npcm  me,  but 
I  will  not  answer;  they  shall  seek 


me  earjy,  but  they  shall  not  find 
me. 

Isa.  i,  15.  And  when  ye  spread 
forth  your  hands,  I  will  hide 
mine  eyes  from  you;  yea,  when  ye 
make  many  prayers,  I  will  not 
hear:  your  hands  are  full  of 
blood. 

Isa.  llx,  2.  But  your  iniquities 
have  separated  between  you  and 
your  God,  and  your  sins  have  hid 
his  face  from  you,  that  he  will  not 
hear. 

Mlcah  Hi,  4.  Then  shall  they 
cry  unto  the  Lord,  but  he  will  not 
hear  them:  he  will  even  hide  his 
face  from  them  at  that  time  as 
they  have  behaved  themselves  ill 
in  their  doings. 

Zech.  vii,  13.  Therefore  It  Is 
come  to  pass,  that  as  he  cried,  and 
they  would  not  hear,  so  they 
cried,  and  I  would  not  hear,  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts. 

John  ix,  31.  Now  we  know  that 
God  heareth  not  sinners:  but  if 
any  man  be  a  worshipper  of  God, 
and  doeth  his  will,  him  he  hear- 
eth. 

2  Oor.  xli,  8-10.  For  this  thing 
I  besought  the  Lord  thrice,  that 
it  might  depart  from  me.  And 
he  said  unto  me.  My  grace  is  suf- 
ficient for  thee;  for  my  strength  is 
made  perfect  in  weakness.  Most 
gladly  therefore  will  I  rather 
glory  in  my  infirmities,  that  the 
power  of  Christ  may  rest  upon 
me.  Therefore  I  take  pleasure 
in  infirmities,  in  reproaches,  in 
necessities,  in  persecutions,  in 
distresses,  for  Christ's  sake:  for 
when  I  am  weak,  then  am  I 
strong. 

James  Iv,  8.  Ye  ask,  and  receive 
not,  because  ye  ask  amiss,  that  ye 
may  consume  it  upon  your  lusts.

as  the  stars  of  heaven;  and  all  this 
land  that  I  have  spoken  of  will  I 
give  unto  your  seed,  and  they 
shall  inherit  it  for  ever.  And  it 
came  to  pass  on  the  morrow,  that 
Moses  said  unto  the  people.  Ye 
have  sinned  a  great  sin:  and  now 
I  will  go  up  unto  ihe  Lord;  per- 
adventure  I  shall  make  an  atone- 
ment fur  your  sin.

man,  as  I  am.  that  I  should  an-

together  In  judgment.  Neither 
is  there  any  day's-man  betwixt 
us,  that  might  lay  his  hand  upon 
US  both. 

Job  xvi,  21.  Oh  that  one  might 
plead  for  a  man  with  God,  as  a 
man  pleadeth  for  his  neighbour! 

Job  x.Kxiii,  6,  7.  Behold,  I  am, 
according  to  thy  wish  in  God's

clay.  Behold,  my  terror  shall 
not  make  thee  afraid,  neither 
shall  my  hand  be  heavy  upon 
thee. 

Job  xlii.  8.  Therefore  take  unto 
you  now  seven  bullocks  and  seven 
rams,  and  go  to  my  servant  Job, 
and  offer  up  for  yourselves  a 
burnt-offering,  and  my  servant 
Job  shall  pray  for  you;  for  him 
will  I  accept:  lest  I  deal  with  you 
after  your  folly,  in  that  ye  have 
not  spoken  of  me  the  thing  which 
is  right,  like  my  servant  Job.

will  let  thee  go,  and  will  tell  thee

for  thine  asses  that  were  lost 
three  days  ago,  set  not  thy  mind

1  Kings  xiv,  1-4.  At  that  time 
Abijah  the  son  of  Jeroboam  fell 
sick  And  Jeroboam  said  to  hia 
wife.  Arise,  I  pray  thee,  and  dis- 
guise thyself,  that  thou  be  not 
known  to  be  the  wile  ol  Jero-

And  Jeroboam's  wife  did  so,  and 
arose,  and  went  to  Shlloh,  and 
came  to  the  house  of  Ahijah.  But 
Ahljah  could  not  see;  for  his  eyes

Michaiah,  and  Shaphan  the  scribe, 
and  Asahiah  a  servant  of  the

the  Lord  for  me,  and  for  the  peo-

And  the  burden  of  the  Loud  shall

man's  word  shall  be  his  burden: 
for  ye  have  perverted  the  words 
of  the  living  God,  of  the  Lord  of

say  to  the  prophet,  What  hath 
the  Loed  answered  thee?  and, 
What  hath  the  Loan  spoken?

they  said  unto  him.  Ask  counsel, 
we  pray  thee,  of  God,  that  we  may

Then  said  David,  O  Lord  God  of 
Israel,  thy  servant  had  certainly 
heard  that  Saul  seeketh  to  come  to 
Keilah,  to  destroy  the  city  for  my 
sake.  Will  the  men  of  Keilah 
deliver  me  up  into  his  hand?  will 
Saul  come  down,  as  thy  servant 
hath  heard?  O  Lord  God  of 
Israel,  I  beseech  thee,  tell  thy 
servant.  And  the  Lord  said.  Ho 
will  come  down.  Then  said 
David,  Will  the  men  of  Keilah 
deliver  me  and  my  men  into  the 
hand  of  Saul?  Aud  the  Lord 
said,  They  will  deliver  thee  up. 
Then  David  and  his  men,  which 
were  about  six  hundred,  arose 
and  departed  out  of  Keilah,  and 
went  whithersoever  they  could 
go.  And  it  was  told  Saul  that 
David  was  escaped  from  Keilah: 
and  he  forbare  to  go  forth. 

2  Sam.  ii,  1.  And  it  came  to  pass 
after  this,  that  David  enquired  of 
the  Lord,  saying.  Shall  I  go  up 
into  any  of  the  cities  of  Judah? 
And  the  Lord  said  unto  him.  Go 
up.  And  David  said.  Whither 
sliall  I  go  up?  And  he  said.  Unto 
Hebron. 

2  Sam.  V,  19,  22-25.  And  David 
enquired  of  the  Lord  saying, 
Sliall  I  go  up  to  the  Philistines? 
wilt  thou  deliver  them  into  mine 
hand?  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
David,  Go  up;  for  I  will  doubtless 
deliver  the  Philistines  into  thine 
hand.  And  the  Philistines  came 
up  yet  again,  and  spread  them- 
selves in  the  valley  of  llephaim. 
And  when  David  enquired  of  the 
Loud,  he  said.  Thou  slialt  not  go 
Up;  but  fetch  a  compass  behind 
them,  and  come  upon  them  over 
against  the  mulberry-trees.  And 
let  it  be,  when  thou  hearost  the 
sound  of  a  going  in  the  tops  of 
the  mulberry-trees,  that  then  thou 
Shalt  bestir  thyself:  for  then  shall 
the  Lord  go  out  before  thee,  to 
smite  the  host  of  the  Philistines, 
And  David  did  so,  as  the  Lord 
had  commanded  him;  and  smote 
the  Philistines  from  Geba  until 
thou  come  to  Gazer. 

1  Chron.  xiv,  10, 11.  And  David 
enquired  of  God,  saying.  Shall  I 
gu  up  against  the  Philistines?  and 
wilt  thou  deliver  them  into  mine 
hand?  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
him,  Go  up;  for  I  will  deliver  them 
into  thine  hand .  So  they  came  to 
Baal-perazim;  and  David  smote 
them  there.  Then  David  said, 
God  hath  broken  in  upon  mine 
enemies  by  mine  hand  like  the 
breaking  forth  of  waters:  there- 
fore they  called  the  name  of  that 
place  Baal  perazim. 

2  Chron.  xviii,  4-7, 14.  And  Je- 
hoshaphat  said  unto  the  king  of 
Israel,  inquire,  I  pray  theo,at  the 
word  of  the  Lord  to-day.    The.e. 


Sliall  we  go  to  Ramotli-gileal  to 
battle,  or  shall  I  forbear?  And 
they  said,  Go  up;  for  God  will  de- 
liver it  into  the  king's  hand.  But 
Jehoshaphat  said,  Is  there  not 
here  a  prophet  of  the  Loed  besides, 
that  we  might  enquire  of  him? 
And  the  Icing  of  Israel  said  unto 
Jehoshaphat,  There  is  yet  one 
man,  by  whom  wo  may  enquire  of 
the  Lord:  but  I  hate  iiim;  for  he 
never  prophesied  good  unto  me, 
but  always  evil:  the  same  is 
Micaiah  the  son  of  Imla.  And 
Jehosliaphat  said,  Let  not  the 
king  say  so.  And  when  he  was 
come  to  the  king,  the  king  said 
unto  him,  Micaiali,  shall  we  go  to 
Ramoth-;>;ilead  to  battle,  or  shall 
I  forbear?  And  ho  said,  Go  ye  up, 
and  prosper,  and  they  shall  be 
J  delivered  into  your  hand. 

Jer.  xxi,  2--4.  Enquire,  I  pray 
thee,  of  tlie  Lord  for  us,  (for 
Nebuchadrezzar  king  of  Babylon 
maketh  war  against  us,)  if  so  be 
that  the  Lord  will  deal  with  us 
according  to  all  his  wondrous 
works,  that  he  may  go  up  from 
us.  Then  said  Jeremiah  unto 
them.  Thus  shall  ye  say  unto 
Zedekiah,  Thu>  saith  the  Lord 
God  of  Israel,  Behold,  I  will  turn 
back  the  weapons  of  war  that  are 
in  your  hands,  wherewith  ye 
flght  against  the  king  of  Babylon, 
and  against  the  Chaldeans,  which 
besiege  you  without  the  walls,  and 
I  will  assemble  them  into  the 
midst  ot  this  city. 

Jer.  xxxvii,  17.  Then  Zedekiah 
the  king  seiit,  and  took  him  out; 
and  the  king  asked  him  secretly 
In  his  house,  and  said.  Is  there 
any  word  from  the  Lord?  And 
Jeremiah  said.  There  is;  for,  said 
he,  thou  Shalt  be  delivered  into 
the  hand  of  the  king  of  Babylon. 

Jer.  xxxviii,  14,  Then  Zedekiah 
the  king  sent,  and  took  Jeremiah 
the  prupliet  unto  him  into  the 
third  entry  that  is  in  the  house  of 
the  Lord:  and  the  king  said  unto 
Jeremiah,  I  will  ask  thee  a  thiug; 
hide  nothing  from  me. 

DANGER  OF  OMISSION. 

Josh,  ix,  14.  And  the  men  took 
of  their  victuals,  and  asked  not 
counsel  at  the  mouth  of  the 
Lord. 

1  Sam.  x\y,  18,  19.  And  Saul 
said  unto  Ahiali,  Bring  liither  the 
ark  of  God:  (for  the  ark  of  God 
was  at  that  time  with  the  children 
of  Israel.)  And  it  came  to  pass, 
while  Saul  talked  unto  the  priest, 
that  the  noise  that  toas  in  the 
host  of  the  Philistines  went  on 
and  increased:  and  Saul  said  unto 
the  priest,  Withdraw  thine  hand. 

1  Ohron.  x,  14.  And  enquired 
not  of  the  Lord:  therefore  he 
slew  him,  and  turned  the  kingdom 
unto  David  the  sou  of  Jesse. 


PRAISE  AND  PRATER, 

Zcph  1,  6.  And  them  that  are 
turned  back  from  the  Lord;  and 
those  that  have  not  sought  the 
Lord,  nor  enquired  for  hun. 


ENQUIRIES  UNANSWERED. 
1  Sam.  xiv,  35-38.  And  Saul 
built  an  altar  unto  the  Lord:  the 
same  was  the  first  altar  that  he 
built  unto  the  Lord.  And  Saul 
said,  Let  us  go  down  after  the 
Philistines  by  night,  and  spoil 
them  until  the  morning-light,  and 
let  us  not  leave  a  man  of  them. 
And  they  said.  Do  whatsoever 
seemeth  good  unto  thee.  Then 
said  the  priest,  Let  us  draw  near 
hither  unto  God.  And  Saul  asked 
counsel  of  God,  Shall  I  go  down 
after  the  Philistines?  wilt  thou 
deliver  them  into  the  hand  of 
Israel?  But  he  answered  him  not 
that  day.  And  Saul  said.  Draw 
ye  near  hither  all  the  chief  of  the 
people:  and  know  and  see  wherein 
this  sin  hath  been  this  day. 

JSzek.  xiv,  1-3,  7-10.  Then  came 
certain  of  the  elders  of  Israel  unto 
me,  and  sat  before  me.  And  the 
word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me, 
saying.  Son  of  man,  these  men 
have  set  up  their  idols  in  their 
heart,  and  put  the  stumbling 
block  of  their  iniquity  before 
their  face:  should  I  be  enquired 
of  at  all  by  them?  For  every  one 
of  the  house  of  Israel,  or  of  the 
stranger  that  sojourneth  in  Israel, 
which  separateth  himself  from 
me,  and  setteth  up  his  idols  in  his 
heart,  and  putteth  the  stumbling- 
block  of  his  iniquity  before  his 
face,  and  cometh  to  a  prophet  to 
enquire  of  him  concerning  me;  I 
the  Lord  will  answer  him  by 
myself:  And  I  will  set  my  face 
against  that  man,  and  will  make 
him  a  sign  and  a  proverb,  and  I 
will  cut  him  ofT  from  the  midst  of 
my  people;  and  ye  shall  know 
that  I  am  the  Lord.  And  if  the 
prophet  be  deceived  when  he 
hath  spoken  a  thing,  I  the  Lord 
have  deceived  that  prophet;  and 
I  will  stretch  out  my  hand  upon 
him,  and  will  destroy  him  from 
the  midst  of  my  people  Israel. 
And  they  shall  bear  the  punish- 
ment of  their  iniquity:  the  punish- 
ment of  the  prophet  shall  be  even 
as  the  punishment  of  him  that 
seeketh  unto  him. 

Ezek.  XX,  1-3.  And  it  came  to 
pass  in  the  seventh  year,  in  the 
fifth  month,  the  tenth  day  of  the 
month,  that  certain  of  the  elders 
of  Israel  came  to  enquire  of  the 
Lord,  and  sat  before  me.  Then 
came  the  word  of  the  Lord  unto 
me,  saying.  Son  of  man,  speak 
unto  the  elders  of  Israel,  and  say 
unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God,  Are  ye  come  to  enquire  of 
me?  As  I  live,  saith  the  Lord  God,  I 
will  not  be  enquired  of  by  you.

GRACE. 

Ps.  xvii,  4,  5.  Concerning  the 
works  of  men,  by  the  word  of  thy 
lips  I  have  kept  me  from  the 
paths  of  the  destroyer.  Hold  up 
my  goings  in  thy  paths,  that  my 
footsteps  slip  not. 

Fs.  xix,  11-13.  Moreover,  by 
them  is  thy  servant  warned:  and 
in  keeping  ot  them  there  is  great 
reward.  Who  can  understand 
his  errors?  cleanse  thou  me  from 
secret /auKs.  Keep  back  thy  ser- 
vant also  from  presumptuous 
sins;  let  them  not  have  dominion 
ever  me:  then  shall  I  be  upright, 
and  I  shall  be  innocent  from  the 
great  transgression. 

Ps.  XXV,  19-21.  Consider  mine 
enemies,  for  they  are  many;  and 
they  hate  me  with  cruel  hatred. 

0  keep  my  soul,  and  deliver  me:

my  trust  in  thee.  Let  integrity 
and  uprightness  preserve  me;  for 

1  wait  on  thee. 

Ps.  xl,  11.  Withhold  not  thou 
thy  tender  mercies  from  me,  O 
Lord:  let  thy  loving-kindness  and 
thy  truth  continually  preserve 
me. 

Ps.  li,  9-13.  Hide  thy  face  from 
my  sins,  and  blot  out  all  mine 
Iniquities.  Create  in  me  a  clean 
heart,  O  God,  and  renew  a  right 
spirit  within  me.  Cast  me  not 
away  from  thy  presence;  and  take 
not  thy  Holy  Spirit  from  me.  Re- 
store unto  me  the  joy  of  thy  sal- 
vation; and  uphold  me  loith  thy 
free  Spirit:  The7i  will  I  teach 
transgressors  thy  ways;  and 
sinners  shall  be  converted  unto 
thee.

Ps.  Ixxx,  18.  So  will  not  we  go 
back  from  thee:  quicken  us,  and 
we  will  call  upon  thy  name. 

Ps.  Ixxxvi,  11.  Teach  me  thy 
way,  O  Lord;  I  will  walk  in  thy 
truth:  unite  my  heart  to  fear  thy 
name. 

Ps.  cxlx,  5,  6,  8.  35-40,  43-45,  80i 
87,  88,  116, 117,  133,  134.  156,  159, 
160, 175.  Oh  that  my  ways  were 
directed  to  keep  thy  statutesl 
Thefi  shall  I  not  be  ashamed, 
when  I  have  respect  unto  all  thy 
commandments.  I  will  keep  thy 
statutes:  O  forsake  mo  not  utterly. 
Make  me  to  go  in  the  path  of  thy 
commandments;  for  therein  do  I 
delight.  Incline  my  heart  unto 
thy  testimonies,  and  not  to  covet- 
ousness.    Turn  away  mine  eyes 


from  beholding  vanity,  and 
quicken  thou  me  iu  thy  way. 
Stablish  thy  word  unto  thy  ser- 
vant, wlio  is  devoted  to  tliy  fear.

fear:  for  thy  judgments  are  good. 
Behold,  I  have  longed  after  thy 
precepts:  quicken  me  in  thy 
righteousness.  And  tuko  not  the 
word  of  truth  utterly  out  of  my 
mouth;  for  I  have  hoped  iu  thy 
judgments.  So  shall  1  keep  thy 
law  continually  for  ever  and  ever. 
And  I  will  walk  at  liberty:  for  I 
seek  tiiy  precepts.  Let  my  heart 
be  sound  in  thy  statutes,  that  I  be 
not  ashamed.  Tliey  had  almost 
consumed  me  upon  earth:  but  I 
forsook  not  thy  precepts.  Quicken 
me  after  thy  loving-iiindness;  so 
shall  I  keep  the  testimony  of  thy 
mouth.  Uphold  me  according 
unto  thy  word,  that  I  may  live: 
and  let  me  not  be  ashamed  of  my 
hope.  Hold  thou  me  up,  and  I 
shall  be  safe:  and  I  will  have 
respect  unto  thy  statutes  contin- 
ually. Order  my  steps  in  thy 
word;  and  let  not  any  iniquity 
have  dominion  over  me.  Deliver 
me  from  the  oppression  of  man: 
so  will  I  keep  thy  precepts. 
Great  are  thy  tender  mercies,  O 
Lord:  quicken  me  according  to 
thy  judgments.  Consider  how 
I  love  thy  precepts:  quicken 
me,  O  Lord,  according  to  thy 
loving -kindness.  Thy  word  is 
true  from  the  beffinning:  and 
every  one  of  thy  rigliteous  judg- 
ments enclurcth  for  ever.  Let

thee;  and  let  thy  judgments  help 
me. 

Ps.  cxx,  2,  3.  Deliver  my  soul, 
O  Lord,  from  lying  lips,  and  from 
a  deceitful  tongue.  What  shall 
be  given  unto  thee?  or  what  shall 
be  done  unto  thee,  thou  lalse 
tongue. 

Ps.  cxli,  3.  Set  a  watch,  O  Lord, 
before  my  mouth;  keep  the  door 
of  my  lips.  Incline  not  my  heart 
to  any  evil  thing,  to  practise 
wicked  works  with  men  that  work 
Iniquity;  and  let  me  not  cat  of 
their  dainties. 

Acts  iv,  29.  And  now,  Lord, 
behold  their  threatenings:  and 
grant  unto  thy  servants,  that  with 
all  boldness  they  may  speak  thy 
word. 

,FOR  DELIVERANCE  FROM 

ENEMIES. 

Ps.  lit,  7.  Arise,  O  Lord;  save

smitten  all  mine  enemies  upon 
the  cheek-bone;  thou  liast  broken 
the  teeth  of  the  ungodly.

in  thee  do  1  put  my  trust:  save

tear  my  soul  Uko  a  lion,  rending 


PRAISE  AND  PRAYER, 

it  in  pieces,  while  there  is  none 
to  deliver. 

Ps.  xiil,  4.  Lest  mine  enemy

and  those  that  trouble  me  rejoice 
when  I  am  moved. 

Ps.  xvll,  8,  9, 13.  Keep  me  as  the 
apple  of  the  eye;  hide  me  under 
the  shadow  of  thy  wings.  From 
the  wicked  that  oppress  me,  from 
my  deadly  enemies,  who  compass 
me  about.  Arise,  O  Lord,  dis- 
appoint him,  cast  him  down: 
deliver  my  soul  from  the  wicked, 
which  is  thy  sword. 

Ps.  xxvi,  9,  10.  Gather  not  my 
soul  with  sinners,  nor  my  life  with 
bloody  men;  In  whose  hands  is 
mischief,  and  their  right  hand  is 
full  of  bribes. 

Ps.  XXV  lii,  3.  Draw  me  not  away

mischief  is  in  their  hearts.

cause,  0  Lord,  with  them  that 
strive  with  me:  fight  against  them

of  shield  and  buckler,  and  stand 
up  lor  mine  help.  Draw  out  also 
the  spear,  and  stop  the  way 
against  them  that  persecute  me: 
say  unto  my  soul,  I  am  thy  sal- 
vation. Judge  me,  O  Lord  my 
God,  acconling  to  thy  righteous- 
ness; and  let  them  not  rejoice 
over  me.  Let  them  not  say  in 
their  hearts.  Ah,  so  would  we  have 
it:  let  them  not  say.  We  have 
swallowed  him  up. 

Ps.  xxxvi,  11,  12.   Let  not  the 

foot  of  pride  come  against  me, 
and  let  not  the  hand  of  the  wicked 
remove  me.  There  are  the 
workers  of  iniquity  fallen:  they 
are  cast  down,  and  shall  not  be 
able  to  rise. 

Ps.  xxxviii,  16.  For  I  said.  Hear 
me,  lest  otherwise  they  should 
rejoice  over  me:  when  my  foot 
slippeth,  they  magnify  themselves 
against  me.

and  plead  my  cause  against  an 
ungodly  nation:  0  deUver  me 
from  the  deceitful  and  unjust 
man.  For  thou  art  the  God  of 
my  strength:  why  dost  thou  cast

cause of  the  oppression  of  the 
enemy? 

Ps.  lix,  1,  2.   Deliver  me  from

bloody  men. 
Ps.  Ixiv,  1,  2.  Hear  my  voice, 

0  God,  in  my  prayer:  preserve

to  deliver  me;  make  haste  to  help 
me,  0  Lord.  Let  them  be  asham- 
ed and  confounde  1  that  seek  after 
my  soul:  let  them  be  turned  back- 
ward, and  put  to  contusion,  that 
desire  my  hurt.  Let  them  be 
turned  back  tor  a  reward  of  their 
shame  that  say.  Aha,  aha! 

Ps.  Ixxi,  2,  4,  5.  Deliver  me  in 
thy  righteousness,  and  cause  me 
to  escape:  incline  thine  ear  unto 
me,  and  save  me.  Deliver  me,  O 
my  God,  out  of  the  hand  of  the 
wicked;  out  of  the  liand  of  the  un-

thou  art  my  hope,  O  Lord  God: 
thou  art  my  trust  from  my  youth. 

Ps.  cix,  26-29.  Help  me,  O  Lord 
my  God:  O  save  me  according  to 
thy  mercy;  That  they  m ly  know 
that  this  is  thy  hand;  that  thou, 
Lord,  hast  done  It.  Let  them 
curse,  but  bless  thou:  when  they 
arise,  let  them  be  ashamed;  but 
let  thy  servant  rejoice.  Let  mine 
adversaries  be  clotlied  with  slume, 
and  let  them  cover  themselves 
with  their  own  contusion,  as  with 
a  mantle. 

Ps.  cxix,  121,  122,  154.  I  have

Plead  my  cause,  and  dfdiver  me: 
quicken  me  according  to  thy 
word. 

Ps.  cxl,  4,  8.  Keep  me,  O  Lord 
from  the  hands  ot  the  wicked; 
preserve  me  from  the  violent 
man;  who  have  purposed  to  over- 
tlirow  my  goings.  Cirant  not  O 
Lord,  the  desires  of  the  wicked: 
furtlier  not  his  wicked  device 
lest  they  exalt  themselves.  Selah.' 

Ps.  cxlii,  6,  7.  Attend  unto  my 
cry;  for  I  am  brouglit  very  low: 
deliver  me  from  my  persecutors; 
for  they  are  stronger  than  I. 
Bring  my  soul  out  of  prison,  that 

1  may  praise  thy  name:  the  right- 
^  eous  siiall  compass  me  about;  for 
I  thou  Shalt  deal  bountifully  with 
I  me. 

!  Ps.  cxllii,  9.  Deliver  me.  O  Lord, 
j  from  mine  enemies:  I  flee  unto 
thee  to  hide  me. 

Luke  i,  74,  75.  That  he  would 
grant  unto  us,  that  we,  being  de- 
livered out  of  the  hand  of  our 
enemies,  might  serve  him  witliouf

Bess  before  him,  all  the  days  of 
our  life. 

COMPLAINT    TO   GOD 

AGAINST  ENEMIES. 

Ps.  Hi,  1,  2.  Lord,  how  are  they 
Increased  that  trouble  me?  many 
are  they  that  rise  up  against  me. 
Many  there  be  which  say  of  my 
Boul,  There  is  no  help  for  him  in 
God,    Selah. 

Ps.  xxxviii,  19.  But  mine  ene- 
mies are  lively,  and  they  are 
strong;  and  they  that  hate  me 
wrongfully  are  multiplied. 

Ps.  11 V,  3.  For  strangers  are 
risen  up  against  me,  and  oppres- 
sors seek  after  my  soul:  they 
have  not  set  God  before  them. 
Selah. 

Ps.  Ivi,  1-3,  6,  7.  Be  merciful 
tmto  me,  O  God;  for  man  would 
swallow  me  up:  he  fighting  daily 
oppresseth  me.  Mine  enemies 
would  daily  swuUowme  up:  forthey 
he  many  that  fight  against  me,  O 
thou  most  High.  What  time  1 
am  afraid,  I  will  trust  in  thee. 
They  gather  themselves  together, 
they  hide  themselves,  they  mark 
ray  steps,  when  they  wait  for  my 
soul.  Shall  they  escape  by  ini- 
quity? in  thine  anger  cast  down 
the  people,  O  God. 

Ps.  lix,  3-5.  For,  lo,  they  lie  in 
wait  for  my  soul:  the  mighty  are 
gathered  against  me;  not  for  my 
transgression,  nor  for  my  sin,  O 
Lord.  They  run  and  prepare 
themselves  without  my  fault: 
awake  to  help  me,  and  behold. 
Thou  therefore,  O  Lord  God  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  Israel,  awake  to 
visit  all  the  heathen:  be  not 
merciful  to  any  wicked  trans- 
gressors.   Selah. 

Ps.  Ixix,  4.  They  that  hate  me 
without  a  cause  are  more  tlian 
the  hairs  of  mine  head:  they  tliat 
would  destroy  me,  being  mine 
enemies  wrongfully,  are  mighty: 
then  I  restored  that  which  I  took 
not  away. 

Ps.  Ixxxvl,  14.  O  God,  the  proud 
are  risen  against  me,  and  the 
assemblies  of  violent  men  have 
souglit  after  my  soul,  and  have 
not  set  thee  before  them. 

Ps.  Ixxxviii,  17.  They  came 
round  about  me  daily,  like  water: 
they  compassed  me  about  to- 
gether. 

Ps.  cxliil,  1-5.  Hear  my  prayer, 
O  Lokd;  give  ear  to  my  supplica- 
tions: in  thy  faithfulness  answer 
me,  and  in  thy  righteousness. 
And  enter  not  into  judgment 
with  thy  servant:  for  in  thy  siglit 
shall  no  man  living  be  justified. 
For  the  enemy  hath  persecuted 
my  soul;  he  hath  smitten  my  lile 
down  to  the  ground:  he  hath 
made  me  to  dwell  in  darkness,  as 
those  that  have  been  long  dead. 


PR.\ISE  AND  PRAYER. 

Therefore  Is  my  spirit  over- 
whelmed within  me;  my  heart 
within  me  is  desolate.  I  remem- 
ber the  days  of  old;  1  meditate  on 
all  thy  works;  I  muse  on  the  work 
of  thy  hands. 

Fob  Their  Overthrow. 

Deut.  xxxiii,  11.  Bless,  Lord,  his 
substance,  and  accept  the  work  of 
his  hands:  smite  through  the 
loins  of  them  that  rise  against 
him,  and  of  them  that  hate  him, 
that  they  rise  not  again. 

Ps.  V,  10.  Destroy  thou  them,  O 
God;  let  them  fall  by  their  own 
counsels;  cast  them  out  in  the 
multitude  of  their  transgressions; 
for  they  have  rebelled  against 
thee. 

Pa.  vi,  10.  Let  all  mine  enemies 
be  ashamed  and  sore  vexed,  let 
them  return  and  be  ashamed 
suddenly. 

Ps.  X,  13,  14.  Wherefore  doth 
the  wicked  contemn  God?  he 
hath  said  in  his  heart,  Thou  wilt 
not  require  it.  Thou  hast  seen 
it;  for  thou  beholdest  mischief 
and  spite,  to  require  it  with  thy 
hand:  the  poor  committeth  him- 
self unto  thee:  thou  art  the  helper 
of  the  fatherless. 

Ps.  xxxi,  17,  18.  Let  me  not  be 
ashamed,  O  Lord,  for  I  have 
called  upon  thee:  let  the  wicked 
be  ashamed,  and  let  them  be 
silent  in  the  grave.  Let  the  lying 
lips  be  put  to  silence;  which  speak 
grievous  things  proudly  and 
contemptuously  against  the  right- 
eous.* 

Ps.  XXXV,  4,  8,  9,  20.  Let  them 
be  confounded  and  put  to  shame 
that  seek  after  my  soul:  let  them 
be  turned  back  and  brought  to 
confusion  that  devise  my  hurt. 
Let  destruction  come  upon  him  at 
unawares;  and  let  his  net  that  he 
hath  hid  catch  himself:  into  that 
very  destruction  let  him  fall.  And 
my  soul  shall  be  joyful  in  the 
Lord:  it  shall  rejoice  in  his  salva- 
tion. For  they  speak  not  peace; 
but  they  devise  deceitful  matters 
against  them  that  are  quiet  in  the 
land. 

Ps.  xl,  14,  15.  Let  them  be 
ashamed  and  confounded  together 
that  seek  alter  my  soul  to  destroy 
it;  let  them  be  driven  backward, 
and  put  to  shame,  that  wisli  me 
evil.  Let  them  be  desolate  for  a 
reward  of  their  shame  that  say 
unto  me,  Aha,  aha ! 

Ps.  liv,  5.  He  sliall  reward  evil 
unto  mine  enemies:  cut  them  off 
in  thy  truth. 

Ps.  It,  9.  Destroy,  O  Lord,  and 
divide  their  tongues:  for  1  liave 
seen  violence  and  strife  in  the 
city. 

Ps.  lix,  12,  13.  For  the  sin  of  j 
their  mouth,  and  the  words  of  i 
657 


their  Ups  let  tlietti  even  be  taken 
iu  their  pride;  and  for  cursing  and 
lying  which  they  speak.  Con- 
sume them  in  wrath,  consume 
them,  that  they  may  not  be;  and 
let  them  know  that  God  ruleth  itt 
Jacob  unto  the  ends  of  the  earth. 
Selah. 

Ps.  IxvIH,  1,  2.  Let  God  arise, 
let  his  enemies  be  scattered:  let 
them  also  that  hate  him  flee  be- 
fore him.  As  smoke  is  driven 
away,  so  drive  them  away:  as  wax 
melteth  before  the  fire,  so  let  the 
wicked  perish  at  the  presence  of 
God. 

Ps.  Ixxl,  13.  Let  them  be  con- 
founded and  consumed  that  are 
adversaries  to  my  soul;  let  them 
be  covered  with  reproach  and 
dishonour  that  seek  my  hurt. 

Ps.  Ixxxiii,  18-18.  O  my  God, 
make  them  like  a  wheel;  as  the 
stubble  before  the  wind.  As  the 
fire  burneth  a  wood,  and  as  the 
flame  setteth  the  mountains  on 
Are.  So  persecute  them  with  thy 
tempest,  and  make  them  afraid 
with  thy  storm.  Fill  their  faces 
with  shame;  that  they  seek  thy 
name,  O  Lord.  Let  them  be  con- 
founded and  troubled  for  ever; 
yea,  let  them  be  put  to  shame, 
and  perish:  That  men  may  know 
that  thou,  whose  name  alone  is 
JEHOVAH,  art  the  Most  High 
over  all  the  earth. 

Ps.  civ,  35.  Let  the  sinners  be 
consumed  out  of  the  earth,  and 
let  the  wicked  be  no  more.  Bless 
thou  the  Lord,  O  my  soul.  Praise 
ye  the  Lord. 

Ps.  cix,  28, 29,  Let  them  curse, 
but  bless  thou:when  they  arise,  let 
them  be  ashamed;  but  let  thy 
servant  rejoice.  Let  mine  adver- 
saries be  clothed  with  shame,  and 
let  them  cover  themselves  with 
their  own  confusion,  as  with  a 
mantle. 

Ps.  cxix,  78.  Let  the  proud  be 
ashamed;  for  they  dealt  perverse- 
ly with  me  without  a  cause:  but  I 
will  meditate  in  thy  precepts. 

Ps.  cxxix,  5-8.  Let  them  all  be 
confounded  and  turned  back  that 
hate  Zion:  Let  them  be  as  the 
grass  upon  the  house-tops,  which 
withereth  afore  it  groweth  up; 
Wherewith  the  mower  filleth  not 
his  hand,  nor  he  that  biudeth 
sheaves  his  bosom.  Neither  do 
they  which  go  by  say.  The  bless- 
ing of  the  Lord  be  upon  you:  we 
bless  you  in  the  name  of  the 
Lord. 

Ps.  cxl,  11.  Let  not  an  evil 
speaker  be  established  in  the 
eartli:  evil  shall  hunt  the  violent 
man  to  overthrow  liim. 

Ps.  cxliil,  12.  And  ot  thy  mercy 
cut  ulf  mine  enemies,  and  destroy 
ail  tliem  that  afflict  my  souU  ft^r  I 
am  thy  servant. 


PRAISE  AND  PRAYER, 


Jgr.  xH,  3.  But  thon,  O  Lord, 
knowest  me:  thou  hast  Been  me, 
and  tried  mine  heart  toward  thee: 
pull  them  out  like  sheep  for  the 
Blaughter,  and  prepare  them  for 
the  day  of  slaughter. 

Jer.  xvii,  18.  Let  them  be  con- 
founded that  persecute  me,  but 
let  not  me  be  confounded;  let  them 
be  dismayed,  but  let  not  me  be 
dismayed:  bring  upon  them  the 
day  of  evil,  and  destroy  them 
with  double  destruction. 

Lam.  iii,.  65,  66.  Give  them 
isorrow  of  heart,  thy  curse  unto 
them.  Persecute  and  destroy 
them  in  anger  from  under  the 
heavens  of  the  Lobd. 

Num.  xxil,  6-12.  Come  now 
therefore,  I  pray  thee,  curse  me 
tliis  people;  for  they  are  too 
mighty  lor  me:  peradventure  I 
shall  prevail,  that  we  may  smite 
them,  and  that  I  may  drive  them 
out  of  the  land:  for  I  wot  that  he 
whom  thou  blessest  is  blessed, 
and  he  wliom  thou  cursest  is 
cursed.  And  the  elders  of  Moab 
and  the  elders  of  Midian  departed 
with  the  rewards  of  divination  in 
their  hand;  and  they  came  unto 
Balaam,  and  spake  unto  him  the 
words  of  Balak.  And  Balaam 
said  unto  God,  Balak  the  son  of 
Zipper,  king  of  Moab,  hath  sent 
unto  me,  saying,  Beliold,  there  is 
a  people  come  out  of  Egypt, 
which  covereth  the  face  of  the 
earth;  come  now,  curse  me  them; 
peradventure  I  shall  be  able  to 
overcome  them,  and  drive  them 
out.  And  God  said  unto  Balaam, 
Thou  Shalt  not  go  with  them; 
thou  Shalt  not  curse  the  people: 
for  they  are  blessed. 

Num.  xxiv,  10.  And  Balak's 
anger  whs  kindU-d  againstBalaam, 
and  he  smote  his  hands  together: 
and  Balak  said  unto  Balaam,  I 
called  thee  to  curse  mine  enemies, 
and,  behold,  thou  liast  altogether 
blessed  them  these  three  times. 

Joshua  xxiv,  9-11.  Then  Balak 
the  son  ot  Zippir,  king  ol  Moab, 
arose  and  warred  against  Israel, 
and  sent  and  culled  Balaam  the 
son  of  Beor  to  curse  you:  But  I 
would  not  liearken  unto  Balaam; 
tlierefore  lie  blessed  you  still:  so 
I  delivered  you  out  ol  his  hand. 
And  ye  went  over  Jordan,  and 
came  unto  Jericho:  and  the  men 
of  Jericho  fought  against  you, 
the  Amorites,  and  the  Pei  izzites, 
and  the  Canaanites,  and  the 
Hittites,  and  the  Girgashites,  the 
Hivites,  and  the  Jebusites;  and  I 
delivered  them  into  your  hand. 

Judges  v,  23.  Curse  ye  Meroz, 
(said  the  angel  of  the  IjOro,)  curse 
ye  bitterly  the  inhabitants  thereof; 
because  they  came  not  to  the 
belp  of  the  Lord,  to  the  help  of 
the  Lord  against  the  mighty. 


Judges  xvi,  28.  And  Samson 
called  unto  the  Lord,  and  said.  O 
Lord  God,  remember  me,  I  pray 
thee,  and  strengthen  me,  I  pray 
thee,  only  this  once,  O  God,  that 
I  may  be  at  once  avenged  of  the 
Philistines  for  my  two  eyes. 

1  Sam.  xxvi,  19.  Now  therefore, 
I  pray  thee,  lot  my  lord  the  king 
hear  the  words  of  his  servant.  If 
the  Lord  have  stirred  thee  up 
against  me,  let  him  accept  an 
offering:  but  if  tJiey  he  the  chil- 
dren of  men,  cursed  be  they  be- 
fore the  Lord;  for  they  have 
driven  me  out  this  day  from 
abiding  in  the  inheritance  of  the 
Lord,  saying.  Go,  serve  other 
gods. 

Fob  Punishmekt  to  Them. 

Num.  xvi.  15.  And  Moses  was 
very  wroth  and  said  unto  tlie 
Lord,  Respect  not  thou  their 
offering:  I  have  not  taken  one  ass 
from  them,  neither  have  I  hurt 
one  of  them. 

Neh.  tv,  4,  5.  Hear,  O  our  God; 
for  we  are  despised:  and  turn 
their  reproach  upon  their  own 
head,  and  give  them  for  a  prey  in 
the  land  of  captivity.  And  cover 
not  their  iniquity,  and  let  not 
their  sin  be  blotted  out  from  be- 
fore thee:  for  they  have  provoked 
thee  to  anger  before  the  builders. 

NeU.  V,  13.  Also  I  shook  my  lap, 
and  said,  So  God  shake  out  every 
man  from  his  house,  and  from  his 
labour,  that  performeth  not  this 
promise,  even  thus  be  he  shaken 
out  and  emptied.  And  all  the 
congregation  said,  Amen,  and 
praised  the  Lord.  And  the  peo- 
ple did  according  to  this  promise. 

Job  xxvii,  7.  Let  mine  enemy 
bo  as  the  wicked,  and  he  that 
riseth  up  against  me  as  the  un- 
righteous. 

Ps.  X,  2.  The  wicked  in  Afe  pride 
doth  persecute  tiie  poor:  let  them 
be  taken  in  the  devices  that  they 
have  imagined. 

Ps.  xxviii,  4.  Give  them  accord- 
ing to  their  deeds,  and  according 
to  the  wickedness  of  their  en- 
deavours: give  them  after  the 
work  of  their  hands;  render  to 
them  their  desert. 

Ps.  xli,  10-12.  But  thou,0  Lord, 
be  merciful  unto  me,  and  raise  me 
up,  that  I  may  requite  tliem.  By 
tills  I  know  that  thou  favourest 
me,  because  mine  enemy  doth 
not  triumph  over  me.  And  as  for 
me,  thou  upholdest  me  in  mine 
integrity,  and  settest  me  before 
thy  face  for  ever. 

Ps.  Iv,  15.  Let  death  seize  upon 
them,  and  let  them  go  down 
quick  into  hell:  for  wickedness  is 
in  their  dwellings,  and  among 
them. 

P8.  Ux,  5, 14, 16.  ThoQ  therefore, 
658 


O  Lord  God  of  hosts,  the  God  of 
Israel,  awake  to  visit  all  tlie 
heathen:  bo  not  merciful  to  any 
wicked  transgressors.  Selah. 
And  at  evening  let  them  return; 
and  let  them  make  a  noise  like  a 
dog,  and  go  round  about  tlie  city. 
Let  them  wander  up  and  down 
for  meat,  and  grudge  if  they  be 
not  satisfied. 

Ps.  Ixix,  27,  28.  Add  iniquity 
unto  their  iniquity:  and  let  tliem 
not  come  into  thy  righteousness. 
Let  them  be  blotted  out  of  the 
book  of  the  living,  and  not  be 
written  with  the  righteous. 

JRj.  xciv,  2-4.  Lift  up  thyself, 
thou  Judge  of  the  eartii:  render  a 
reward  to  the  proud.  Lord,  how 
long  shall  the  wicked,  how  long 
shall  the  w'cked  triumph?  Hoio 
long  shall  they  utter  and  speak 
hard  things?  and  all  the  workers 
of  iniquity  boast  themselves? 

Ps.  dx,  7-  20.  When  he  shall 
be  judged,  let  him  be  condemned; 
and  let  his  prayer  become  sin. 
Let  his  days  be  few;  and  let  an- 
other take  his  office.  Let  his 
children  l)e  fatherless,  and  his 
wife  a  widow.  Let  his  children 
be  continually  vagabonds,  and 
beg;  let  them  seek  their  bread 
also  out  of  their  desolate  places. 
Let  the  extortioner  catch  all  that 
he  hath;  and  let  the  stranger 
spoil  his  labour.  Let  there  be 
none  to  extend  mercy  unto  him; 
neither  let  there  be  any  to  favour 
his  fatherless  cliildren.  Let  his 
posterity  be  cut  off;  and  in  the 
generation  following  let  their 
name  be  blotted  out.  Let  the 
iniquity  of  his  fathers  be  remem- 
bered with  the  IjOrd;  and  let  not 
the  sin  of  his  motlier  be  blotted 
out.  Let  them  be  before  the 
Lord  continually  ,  that  .he  may 
cut  off  the  memory  of  them  from 
the  earth:  Because  that  he  re- 
membered not  to  shew  mercy, 
but  persecuted  the  poor  and 
needy  man,  that  he  might  even 
slay  the  broken  in  heart.  As  he 
loved  cursing,  so  let  it  come  unto 
him;  as  he  deliglited  not  in  bless- 
ing, so  let  it  be  far  from  him. 
As  he  clothed  himself  with  curs- 
ing, like  as  with  his  garment,  so 
let  it  come  into  his  bowels  like 
water,  and  like  oil  into  his  bones. 
Let  it  be  unto  him  as  the  garment 
lohich  covereth  him,  and  for  a 
girdle  wherewith  ho  is  girded 
continually.  Let  this  he  the  re- 
ward of  mine  adversaries  from 
the  Lord,  and  of  them  that  speak 
evil  against  my  soul. 

Ps.  cxix,  84.  How  many  are  th* 
days  of  thy  servant?  when  wilt 
thou  execute  judgment  on  them 
that  persecute  me? 

Ps.  cxl,  9, 10.  As  for  the  head  of 
those  that  compass  me  about,  let

fall  upon  them:  let  them  be  cast 
Into  the  fire;  into  deep  pits  that 
they  rise  not  up  again. 

Jer.  xl,  20.  But,  O  LOBD  of  hosts 
that  judgest  righteously,  that 
triest  the  reins  and  the  heart,  let 
me  see  thy  vengeance  on  them; 
fur  unto  thee  have  I  revealed  my 
cause. 

Jer.  XV,  15,  16.  O  Lobd,  thou 
knowest:  remember  me,  and  visit 
me,  and  revenge  me  of  my  per- 
secutors; take  me  not  away  in  thy 
long-suffering:  linow  that  for  thy 
sake.  I  have  suffered  rebuke.  Tljy 
words  were  found,  and  I  did  eat 
them;  and  thy  word  was  unto  me 
the  joy  and  rejoicing  of  mine 
heart:  for  I  am  called  by  thy 
name,  O  Lord  God  of  hosts. 

Jer.  xviii,  21,  22.  Therefore  de- 
liver up  their  children  to  the 
famine,  and  pour  out  their  hlood 
by  the  force  of  the  sword;  and  let 
their  wives  be  bereaved  of  their 
children,  and  he  widows;  and  let 
their  men  be  put  to  death;  let 
their  young  men  6e  slain  by  the 
sword  in  battle.  Let  a  cry  be 
heard  from  their  houses,  when 
thou  Shalt  bring  a  troop  suddenly 
upon  them;  for  they  have  digged 
a  pit  to  take  me,  and  hid  snares 
for  my  feet. 

Lam.  i,  22.  Let  all  their  wicked- 
ness come  before  thee;  and  do 
unto  them  as  thou  hast  done  unto 
me  for  all  my  transgressions:  for 
my  gighs  are,  many,  and  my  heart 
is  faint. 

Lam.  iii,  64.  Render  unto  them 
a  reconipence,  O  Lord,  according 
to  the  work  of  their  hands. 

1  Cor.  xvi,  22.  If  any  man  love 
not  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  let  him 
be  Anathema  Marun-atha. 

Gal.  i,  9.  As  we  said  before,  so 
say  1  now  again,  If  any  man 
preach  any  other  gospel  unto  you 
than  that  ye  have  received,  let 
him  be  accursed. 

2  Tim.  iv,  14.  Alexander  the 
coppersmith  did  me  much  evil; 
the  Lord  reward  him  according 
to  Lis  works. 

3  Sam,  xvl,  12.  It  may  be  that

day  in  mine  eyes,  so  let  my  life 
be  much  set  by  in  the  eyes  of  the 
Lord,  and  let  him  deliver  me  out 
of  all  tribulation.  Then  Saul 
said  to  David,  Blessed  ftethou,  my 
son  David:  thou  shalt  both  do 
great  things,  and  also  shalt  still 
prevail.  So  David  went  on  his

BLASPHEMY. 
ITS  SEVERE  REPROBATION. 

Job  xiii,  7-9.  Will  ye  speak 
wickedly  for  God?  and  talk  de- 
ceitfully for  hiiu?  Will  ye  accept 
his  person?  will  ye  contend  lor 
God?  Is  it  good  that  he  sliould 
search  you  out?  or  as  one  man 
mocketh  another,  do  ye  so  mock 
him? 

Job  XV,  13,  25,  26.  That  thou 
turneth  thy  spirit  against  God, 
and  lettest  siicft  words  go  out  of 
thy  mouth?  For  he  stretciieth 
out  his  hand  against  God,  and 
Btrengiheneth  himself  against  the 
Almighty.  He  runneth  upon 
him  even  on  his  neck,  upon  the 
thick  bosses  of  his  bucklers. 

Job  xxxiv,  87.  For  he  addeth 
rebellion  unto  his  sin;  he  clappeth 
his  fiands  among  us,  and  multi- 
plieth  his  words  against  God. 

Job  xl,  2.  Shall  he  that  contend- 
eth  with  the  Almighty  instruct 
him?  lie  that  reproveth  God,  let  i 
him  answer  it. 

Job  xiii,  7.  And  It  was  so,  that, 
after  the  Lokd  had  spoken  these 
words  unto  Job,  the  Loud  said  to 
Eliphaz  the  Temnnite,  My  wrath 
is  kindled  against  thee,  and  : 
against  thy  two  friends:  for  ye 
have  not  spoken  of  me  the  thing  \ 
that  is  right,  as  my  servant  Job 
hath. 

Isa.  xxix,  16.  Surely  your  turn- 
ing of  tilings  upsi<le  down  shall  be 
esteemed  as  the  potter's  clay:  for 
Shall  the  work  say  ol  him  that 
made   it,    He  made   me  not?  or 


shall  the  thing  framed  say  of  him 
that  framed  it,  He  had  no  under- 
standing? 

Isa.  xlv,  9.  Woe  unto  him  that 
striveth  with  his  Maker!  Let  the 
potsherd  strive  with  the  potslierds 
of  the  earth.  Shall  the  clay  say 
to  him  that  fashioneth  it.  What 
makest  thou?  or  thy  work.  He 
hath  no  hands? 

Col.  ill,  8.  But  now  ye  also  put 
off  all  these;  anger,  wrath,  malice, 
blasphemy,  filthy  communication 
out  of  your  mouth. 

Instances. 
Lev.  xxiv,  11.  And  the  Israellt- 
ish  woman's  son  blasphemed  the 
name  of  the  LORD,  and  cursed. 
And  they  brought  him  unto 
Moses:  (and  his  mother's  name 
was  Shelomith,  the  daughter  of 
Dibri,  of  the  tribe  of  Dan.) 

2  Kings  xix,  4-6,  10,  11,  22.  It 
may  be  the  Lord  thy  God  will 
hear  all  the  words  of  Rab-shakeh, 
whom  the  king  of  Assyria  his 
master  hath  sent  to  reproach  the 
living  God;  and  will  reprove  the 
words  which  the  Lokd  thy  God 
hath  heard:  wherefore  lift  up  thy 
prnyer  for  the  remnant  that  are 
left.  So  the  servants  of  king 
Hezekiah  came  to  Isaiah.  And 
Isaiah  said  unto  them,  Thus  shall 
ye  say  to  your  master,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  Be  not  afraid  of  the 
words  which  thou  hast  heard, 
with  which  the  servants  of  the 
king  of  Assyria  have  blasphemed 
me.  Thus  shall  ye  speak  to 
Hezekiah  king  of  Judah,  saying, 
Let  not  thy  God  in  whom  thou 
trustest  deceive  thee,  saying, 
Jerusalem  shall  not  be  delivered 
into  the  hand  of  the  king  of 
Assyria.  Behold,  thou  hast  heard 
what  the  kings  of  Assyria  have 
done  to  all  lands,  by  destroying 
them  utterly;  and  shalt  thou  be 
delivered?  Whom  hast  thou  re- 
proached and  blasphemed?  and 
against  whom  hast  thou  e.xalted 
thy  voice,  and  lifted  up  thine  eyes 
on  high?  even  against  the  Holy 
One  of  Israel. 

2  Chron.  xxxii,  10,  14-20.  Thus 
saith  Sennacherib  king  of  Assyria, 
Wliereon  do  ye  trust,  that  ye 
abide  In  the  siege  in  Jerusalem? 
Who  was  there  among  all  the 
gods  of  those  nations  that  my 
lathers  utterly  destroyed,  that 
could  deliver  his  people  out  of 
mine  hand,  that  your  God  should 
be  able  to  deliver  you  out  of  mine 
liand?  Now  therefore  let  not 
Hezekiah  deceive  you.  nor  per- 
sua<ie  you  on  this  manner,  neither 
yet  believe  him:  lor  no  god  of 
any  nation,  or  kingdom  was  able 
to  deliver  his  people  out  of  mine 
hand,  and  out  of  the  hand  of  my 
fathers;  how  much  less  shall  your 
God  deliver  you  out  of  mine  hand? 


And  his  servants  spake  yet  more 
against  the  L"KD  God,  and  against 
his  servant  Hezekiah.  He  wrote 
also  letters  to  rail  on  the  Lord 
God  of  Israel,  and  to  speak  against 
him,  sayirs:.  As  the  gods  of  the 
nations  of  other  lands  have  not 
delivered  their  people  out  of 
mine  hand,  so  shall  not  the  God 
of  Hezekiah  deliver  his  people 
out  of  mine  hand.  Then  they 
cried  with  a  loud  voice  in  the 
Jews'  speech,  unto  the  people  of 
Jerusalem  that  loere  on  the  wall, 
to  affiight  them,  and  to  tiouble 
them,  that  they  might  take  the 
city.  And  they  spake  against  the 
God  of  Jerusalem,  as  against  the 
gods  of  the  people  of  the  earth, 
which  were  the  work  of  the  hands 
of  man.  And  for  this  cause 
Hezekiah  the  king,  and  the  pro- 
phet Isaiah  the  son  of  Amoz, 
prayed  and  cried  to  heaven. 

Ps.  Ixxlv,  10,  18  O  God,  how 
long  shall  the  adversary  reproach? 
shall  the  enemy  blaspheme  thy 
name  for  ever?  Remember  this, 
that  the  enemy  hath  reproached, 
O  Lord,  and  that  the  foolish 
people  have  blasphemed  thy 
name. 

Isa.  xxxvli,  4-6.  It  may  be  the 
Lokd  thy  God  will  hear  the  words 
of  Rabshakeh,  whom  the  king  of 
Assyria  his  master  hath  sent  to 
reproach  the  living  God,  and  will 
reprove  the  words  which  the 
Lord  thy  God  hath  heard:  where- 
fore lift  up  thy  prayer  for  the 
remnant  that  is  lett.  So  the  ser- 
vants of  king  Hezekiah  came  to 
Isaiah.  And  Isaiah  said  unto 
them,  Thus  shall  ye  say  unto  your 
master.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Be 
not  afraid  of  the  words  that  thou 
hast  heard,  wherewith  the  ser- 
vants of  the  king  of  Assyria  have 
blasphemed  me. 

Ezek.  XX,  27.  Therefore,  son  of 
man,  speak  unto  the  house  of 
Israel,  and  say  unto  them,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God.  Yet  in  this 
your  fathers  have  blasphemed  me, 
in  that  they  have  committed  a 
trespass  against  me. 

Ezek.  XXXV,  12.  And  thou  shalf 
know  that  I  am  the  Lokd,  and 
that  I  have  heard  all  thy  blas- 
phemies which  thou  hast  spoken 
against  the  mountains  of  Israel, 
saying,  They  are  laid  desolate, 
they  are  given  us  to  consume. 

Rom.  ii,  24.  For  the  name  of  God 
is  blasphemed  among  the  Gentiles 
through  you,  asJt  is  written.

and  that  we  have  walked  mourn- 
fully bet'o'e  the  Loed  of  hosts? 

Divine  Justice  Doubted. 

Job  ix,  16,  17.  If  I  had  called, 
and  he  had  answered  me,  yet 
would  I  not  believe  that  he  had

there  is  no  judgment. 

Job  xxxiv,  5,  6.  For  Job  hath

Ezek.  xxxiil,  17-20.  Yet  the 
children  ot  thy  people  say,  The

eth  from  his  rigliteousness,  and 
committeth  iniquity,  he  shall  even 
die  thereby.  But  if  the  wicked 
turn  from  his  wickedness,  and  do

shall  live  thereby.  Yet  ye  say,

through  the  dark  cloud?  Thick 
clouds  are  a  covering  to  him,  that 
he  seeth  not;  and  he  waiketh  in 
the  circuit  of  heaven.

God  turuish  a  table  in  the  wilder- 
ness? Behold,  he  smote  the  rock, 
that  the  waters  gushed  out,  and 
tlie  streams  overflowed;  can  he 
give  bread  also?  can  he  provide 
flesh  for  his  people?

PROPHECY. 


THE  COMMISSION. 

2  Chron.  xxxv{,  15.  And  the 
Lord  God  of  their  fathers  sent  to 
them  by  liia  messengrers,  risincr 
up  betimes,  and  sending^,  beciuse 
he  had  compassion  on  liis  people, 
and  on  his  dwelling-place. 

Isa.  vl,  8.  Also  I  heard  the  voice 
of  the  Lord,  saying,  Whom  shall 
I  send,  and  who  will  go  for  us? 
Then  said  I,  Here  am  1;  send  me. 

Jer.  1,  10.  See,  I  have  this  day 
set  thee  over  the  nations, and  over

plant. 

Ezek.  ii,  7.  And  thou  shall

call  thee,  that  thou  shalt  say. 
Speak,  Lord;  for  thy  servant  hear- 
eth.  So  Samuel  went  and  lay 
down  in  his  place.  And  the  Lord 
came,  and  stood,  and  called  as  at

Zacharlas  was  filled  with  the 
Holy  Ghost,  and  prophesied,  say-

Spirit  of  the  Lord  will  come  upon 
thee,  and  thou  shalt  prophesy 
with  them,  and  shalt  be  turned 
into  another  man.  And  it  was  so, 
that,  when  he  had  turned  his 
back  to  go  from  Samuel,  God 
gave  him  another  heart:  and  all 
those  signs  came  to  pass  that  day. 
And  when  they  came  thither  to 
the  hill,  behold,  a  company  [of 
prophets  met  him;  and  the  Spirit 
of  God  came  upon  him,  and  he 
prophesied  among  them.  And  it 
came  to  pas^*,  when  all  that  knew 
him  beforetime  saw  that,  behold, 
he  prophesied  among  the  pro- 
phets, then  the  people  said  one  to 
another.  What  is  this  that  is  come 
unto  the  son  of  Kish?  Is  Saul  also 
among  the  prophets?  And  one  of 
the  same  place  answered  and 
said,  But  who  is  their  father? 
Therefore  it  became  a  proverb,  Is 
Baul  also  among  the  prophets? 
And  when  he  had  made  an  end  of 
prophesying,  he  came  to  the  high 
place. 

1  Sam.  xix,  20-23.  And  Saul 
sent  messengors  to  take  David: 
and  when  they  saw  !lie  coinpanj'

Samuel  standing  as  appointed 
over  them,  the  Spirit  of  God  was 
upon  the  messengers  of  Saul,  and 
they  also  prophesied.  And  when 
it  was  told  Saul,  he  sent  other 
messengers,  and  they  prophesied 
likewise.  And  Saul  sent  messen- 
gers again  the  third  time,  and 
they  prophesied  also.  Then  went 
he  also  to  Kamah,  and  came  to  a 
great  well  that  is  in  Sechu:  and 
he  asked  and  said,  Where  art 
Samuel  and  David?  And  one 
said.  Behold,  thty  be  at  Naioth  in 
Ramah.  And  he  went  thither  to 
Naioth  in  Kamah:  and  the  Spirit 
of  God  was  upon  liim  also,  and  lie 
went  on  and  prupliesied,  until  he 
came  to  Naioth  in  Ramah. 

1  Kings  xiii  18-22.  He  gaid 
unto  hitn,  I  am  a  prophet  also  as

me  by  the  word  of  tlie  Lord,  say- 
ing. Bring  liim  back  with  thee 
into  thine  house,  tliat  he  may  eat 
bread  and  drink  water.  Hut  he 
lied  unto  him.  So  he  went  back 
with  him,  and  did  eat  bread  in  his 
house,  and  drank  water.  And  it 
rame  to  pass,  as  they  sat  at  tlie 
table,  that  the  word  of  the  Lofio 
carae  unto  tlie  prophet  ihu 
brought  him  back:  And  he  cried 
unto  the  man  of  God  that  caino 
from  Judali,  sayin;,',  Tlius  salth 
the  Lord,  Forusmucli  as  thou 
bast  disobtsyed  tlie  mouth  of  the 
LoBD,  and  liast  not  ktpl  tho  coni- 
maadment,  wnich  Uio  Loko  thy 


God  commanded  thee.  But 
earnest  back,  and  hast  eaten  bread 
and  drunk  water  in  the  place  of 
tlie  which  the  LOBD  did  say  to 
thee,  Eat  no  bread,  and  drink  no 
water,  thy  carcase  shall  not  come 
unto  the  sepulchre  of  thy  fathers.

Num.  xli,  6,  7.  And  he  said. 
Hear  now  my  words;  If  there  be 
a  propliet  among  you,  I  the  Lord 
will  make  myself  known  unto 
him  in  a  vision,  and  will  speak 
unto  him  in  a  dream.  My  servant 
Moses  is  not  so,  who  is  faithful  in 
all  mine  house. 

1  Sam.  iii,  21.  And  the  Lord 
appeared  again  in  Shiloh:  for  the 
Lord  revealed  himself  to  Samuel 
in  Shiloh  by  the  w^ord  of  the 
Loud. 

Jer.  XX,  9, 10.  Then  I  said,  I  will 
not  make  mention  of  him,  nor 
speak  any  more  in  his  name:  but 
his  loord  wa^n  mine  heart  as  a 
burnin;.?  fire  shut  up  in  my  bones, 
and  I  was  weary  with  forbearing, 
and  I  could  not  stay.  For  I 
heard  the  defaming  of  many,  fear 
on  every  side.  Report,  say  they, 
and  we  will  report  it.  All  my 
familiars  watched  for  my  halting, 
flaying,  Peradventure  he  will  be 
oniiced,  and  we  shall  prevail 
against  him,  and  we  Shall  take 
our  revenge  on  liim. 
EztU.  ii,  1, 2.  And  he  said  unto  me. 
Son  of  man,  stand  upon  thy  feet 
and  I  will  speali  unto  thee.  And 
the  spirit  entered  into  me,  when 
he  spake  unto  me,  and  set  me 
upon  my  feet,  that  I  heard  him 
that  spake  unto  me. 

Ezelc.  iii,  22, 23, 27.  And  the  hand 
of  the  Lord  was  there  upon  me; 
and  he  said  unto  me.  Arise,  go 
forth  into  the  plain,  and  I  will 
there  talk  with  thee.  Then  I 
arose,  and  went  forth  into  the 
plain;  and,  beliold,  the  glory  of 
the  Lord  stood  there,  as  the 
glory  which  J  saw  by  the  river  of 
Chebar:  and  I  fell  on  my  face. 
But  when  I  speak  with  thee,  I 
will  open  thy  mouth,  and  thou 
Shalt  say  unto  them.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God,  He  that  heareth, 
let  him  hear;  and  he  that  forbear- 
eth,  let  him  forbear:  for  they  are 
a  rebellious  house. 

Ezek.  xxiv,  27.  In  that  day  shall 
thy  mouth  be  opened  to  him  which 
is  escaped,  and  thou  shalt  speak, 
and  be  no  more  dumb:  and  thou 
Shalt  be  a  bigu  unto  them;  and 
tiiey  shall  know  that  I  am  the 
Lobd 

Ezek.  xxix,  21.  In  that  day  will 
I  cause  the  horn  ot  tlie  house  of 
Israel  to  bud  forth,  anil  1  will 
give  thee  the  opening  of  the 
mouth  in  the  miist  of  them:  and 
666 


they  shall  know  that  I  am  the

EzeTt.  xxxiii,  22.  Now  the  hanA 
of  the  Lord  was  upon  me  in  the 
evening,  afore  he  that  was  escaped 
came,  and  had  opened  my  mouth, 
until  he  came  to  me  in  the  morn-

and  I  was  no  more  dumb. 

Amos  iii,  8.  The  lion  hath  roar-

Heb.  iv,  1.  After  this  I  looked*

silver  and  gold,  I  cannot  go  be- 
yond the  word  of  the  Lord  my 
God,  to  do  less  or  more.  Now 
therefore,  I  pray  you,  tarry  ye 
also  here  this  night,  that  I  may 
know  what  the  Lord  will  say 
unto  me  more.  And  God  came 
unto  Balaam  at  niglit,  and  said 
unto  him.  If  the  men  come  to 
call  thee,  rise  up,  and  go  with 
them;  but  yet  the  word  whirh  I 
shall  say  unto  thee,  that  shalt 
thou  do.  And  Balaam  said  unto 
Balak,  Lo,  I  am  come  unto  thee: 
have  I  now  any  power  at  all  to 
say  any  thing?  the  word  that  God 
putteth  in  my  mouth,  that  shaii  1 
speak. 

Num.  xxiii,  5,  11-13,  16-18,  26,

Balaam's  jiioutli,  and  said,  Return

Balaam,  What  hast  thou  done  un- 
to me?  I  took  thee  to  curse  mi  e 
enemies,  and,  behold,  thou  hast 
blessed  them  altogether.  And  lie 
answered  and  said.  Must  1  not 
take  lieed  to  speak  that  which  the 
Lord  hath  put  in  my  mouth?  And 
Balak  said  unto  him.  Come,  I 
pray  thee,  with  me  unto  anoiher 
place,  from  whence  thou  mayest 
see  Iheui:  thou  shalt  see  but  the

Balak,  and  say  thus.  And  when 
he  came  to  him,  behold,  he  stood 
by  his  burnt-offering,  and  the 
princes  of  Moab  with  him.  And 
Balak  said  unto  him,  What 
hath  the  Loed  spoken?  And 
he  took  up  his  parable,  and  said, 
Rise  up,  Balak,  and  hear,  hear- 
ken unto  me,  thou  son  of  Zippor: 
Bnt  Balaam  answered  and  said 
unto  Balak,  Told  not  I  thee,  say- 
ing, all  that  the  Lord  speaketh, 
that  I  must  do?  And  Balak  said 
unto  Balaam.  Come,  I  pray  thee, 
I  will  bring  thee  unto  another 
place;  peradveuture  it  will  please 
God  that  thou  mayest  curse  me 
them  from  thence. 

Num.  xxiv,  12, 18.  And  Balaam

•would  give  me  his  house  fall  of 
silver  and  gold,  I  cannot  go  be-

Lord  saith,  that  will  I  speak?

called  Samuel,  and  said,  Samuel, 
my  son.  And  he  answered,  Here 
am  I.  And  he  said.  What  is  tlie 
thing  that  the  LORD  hath  said 
unto  thee?  I  pray  thee  hide  it  not 
from  me:  God  do  so  to  thee,  and 
more  also,  if  thou  hide  ayiy  thing 
from  me  of  all  the  things  that  he 
said  unto  thee.  And  Samuel  told

Lord;  let  him  do  what  seemeth 
him  good.

with  one  mouth:  let  thy  word,  I 
pray  thee,  be  like  the  word  of  one

house,  and  against  this  city,  all

Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Because 
thou  hast  let  go  out  of  thy  hand  a 
man  whom  I  appointed  to  utier

not  be  so.

form thy  words  which  thou  hast 
prophesied,  to  bring  again  the 
vessels  of  the  Lord's  house,  and 
all  that  is  carried  away  captive, 
from  Babylon  into  this  place. 

Ezek.  vii,  2,  5-7.  Also,  thou  son 
of  man,  thus  saith  the  Lord  God 
unto  the  land  of  Israel,  An  end, 
the  end  is  come  upon  tlie  four 
corners  of  the  land.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God,  An  evil,  an  only 
evil,  behold,  is  come.  An  end  is 
come,  the  end  Is  come:  it  wutch- 
eth  for  thee;  beliold,  it  is  come. 
The  morning  is  come  unto  thee, 
O  thou  that  dwellest  in  the  land: 
the  time  is  come,  the  day  of 
trouble  is  near,  and  not  tlie  sound- 
ing again  of  the  mountains. 

Ezek.  xii,  22-28.  Son  of  man, 
what  is  that  proverb  that  ye  have 
in  the  land  of  Israel,  saying.  The 
days  are  prolonged,  and  every 
vision  faileth?  Tell  them  there- 
fore. Thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  I 
will  make  this  proverb  to  cease, 
and  they  shall  no  more  use  it  as  a 
proverb  in  Israel;  but  say  unto 
them.  The  days  are  at  hand,  and 
the  effect  of  every  vision.  For 
there  shall  be  no  more  any  vain 
vision  nor  flattering  divination 
within  the  house  of  Israel.  For  I 
am  the  Lord:  I  will  speak,  and 
the  word  that  1  shall  speak  shall 
come  to  pass;  it  sliall  be  no  more 
prolonged:  for  In  your  days,  O 
rebellious  house,  will  I  say  the 
word,  and  will  perform  it,  saith 
the  Lord  God.  Again  the  word 
of  the  Loed  came  to  me,  saying, 
Son  of  man,  behold,  they  of  the 
house  of  Israel  say,  Tlie  vision 
tliat  he  seetii  is  for  many  days  to 
come,  and  he  prophesielh  of  the 
times  tfiat  are  far  ott'.  Tlierefore 
say  unto  them,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God,  There  sliall  none  of 
my  words  be  prolonged  any  more; 
but  the  word  which  1  have 
spoken  shall  be  done,  saith  the 
Lord  God. 

Ezek.  xxxiii,  83.  And  when  this 
coraeth  to  pass,  (lo,  it  will  come,) 
then  shall  they  know  tfiat  a  pro-

Dan.  ix,  2.  In  the  first  year  of

whereof  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  to  Jeremiali  the  prophet, 
that  he  would  accomplish  seventy 
years  lu  the  desolations  of  Jeru- 
salem. 

Hob.  ii,  3,  4.  For  the  vision  is 
yet  for  an  appointed  time,  hut  at 
the  end  it  sliall  speak,  and  not  lie: 
though  it  tarry,  wait  for  it;  l)e- 
cause  it  will  surely  come,  it  will 
not  tarry.  Behold,  his  soul  lohich 
Is  lifted  up  is  not  upright  in  him 
but  tlie  just  shall  live  by  his 
faith. 

Matth.  xiii,  16,  17.  But  blessed

prophets  and  righteous  men  have 
desired  to  see  those  things  which 
ye  see,  and  have  not  seen  them; 
and  to  hear  those  things  which  ye 
hear,  and  have  not  heard  them.

Spirit  that  there  should  be  great 
dearth  throughout  all  the  world: 
which  came  to  pass  in  the  days  of 
ClaudiusCesar.  Then  the  disciples, 
every  man  according  to  his  ability, 
determined  to  send  relief  unto  the 
brethren  which  dwelt  in  Judea: 
Which  also  they  did,  and  sent  it 
to  the  elders  by  the  hands  of 
Bamabus  and  Saul, 

Acts  xxi,  4, 10,  11.  And  finding 
disciples,  we  tarried  there  seven 
days;  who  said  to  Paul  through 
the  Spirit,  that  he  should  not  go 
up  to  Jerusalem.  And  as  we 
tarried  there  many  days,  there 
came  down  from  Judea  a  certain 
prophet,  named  Agabus.  And 
when  he  was  come  unto  us,  he 
took  Paul's  girdle,  and  bound  his 
own  hands  and  feet,  and  said, 
Thus  saitli  tlie  Holy  Ghost,  So 
Bhall  the  Jews  at  Jerusalem  bind 
the  man  tiiat  owneth  this  girdle, 
and  shall  deliver  him  into  the 
hands  of  the  Gentiles.

follow.  Unto  whom  it  was  reveal- 
ed, that  not  unto  themselves,  but 
unto  us,  they  did  minister  the 
tilings  which  are  now  reported 
unto  you  by  them  that  have 
preaclied  the  gospel  unto  you  with 
th^  Holy  Ghost  sent  down  from

Dan.  vii,  25.  And  he  shall  speak 
great  words  against  tlie  most 
High,  and  sliall  wear  out  tiie  saints 
of  the  most  High,  and  think  to 
change  times  and  laws:  and  they 
shall  be  given  into  his  hand,  un- 
til a  time  and  times,  and  the 
dividing  of  time. 

IJan.  viii,  13, 14.  Then  I  heard  one 
saint  speaking,  and  anoMier  saint 
said  unto  tliat  certain  saint  wliich 
spake,  How  long  shall  be  tlie 
vision  concerning  the  daily  saxiri- 
fice,  and  the  transgression  of 
desolation,  to  give  both  the  sanc- 
tuary ami  tlie  host  to  be  trodden 
under  foot?  And  he  said  unto 
me.  Unto  two  thousand  and  three 
hundred  days;  tlien  shall  the 
sanctuary  be  cleansed. 

Da/i.xii,6,7, 11-13.  And  one  said 
to  the  man  clothed  in  linen,  wiiicli 
was  upon  the  waters  of  tlie  river, 
How  long  shall  it  be  to  the  end  of 
these  wonders?  And  I  heard  the 
man  clotlied  in  linen,  which  was 
upon  the  waters  of  tlfe  river, 
when  he  held  up  his  right  hand 
and  his  left  hand  unto  heaven, 
and  sware  by  him  that  liveth  for 
ever,  that  it  shall  be  for  a  time, 
times,  and  an  half;  and  when  he 
shall  have  accomplished  to  scatter 
the  power  of  the  holy  people,  all 
these  things  shall  be  finished. 
And  from  the  time  that  the  daily 
sacrifice  shall  be  taken  away,  and 
the  abomination  that  maketh 
desolate  set  up,  there  shall  be  a 
thousand  two  hundred  and  ninety 
days.  Blessed  Is  he  that  waiteth, 
and  cometh  to  the  thonsand  thrte 
hundred  and  five  and  tliirty  days 
But  go  thou  thy  way  till  the  end 
be:  for  thou  shall  rest,  and  stand 
la  thy  lot  at  the  end  of  tiie  days. 


Bev.  xi,  2, 3.  Bat  the  court  which 
is  without  the  temple  leave  out. 
and  measure  it  not;  for  it  is  given 
unto  the  Gentiles:  and  the  holy 
city  shall  they  tread  under  fout 
forty  and  two  montlis.  And  1 
will  give  poioer  unto  my  two 
witnesses,  and  they  shall  pro-

PROPHECY   THE   MEANS  OF 

KNOWLEDGE  UNDER  THE 

P^ORMER  DISPENSATION. 

1  Sam.  iii,  1.  And  the  child 
Samuel  ministered  unto  tlie  Lord 
before  Eli.  And  the  word  of  tlie 
Lord  was  precious  in  those  days; 
there  was  no  open  vision. 

1  Ofiron.  xxi,  12-17.  And  there 
came  a  writing  to  him  from  Elijah 
the  propliet,  saying,  Tims  saith 
the  Lord  God  of  David  thy  father. 
Because  thou  hast  not  walked  in 
the  ways  of  Jehoshaphat  thy 
father,  nor  in  the  ways  of  Asa 
king  of  Judah,  But  hast  walked 
in  the  way  of  the  kings  of  Israel, 
and  hast  made  Judah  and  the 
inhabitants  of  Jerusalem  to  go  a 
whoring,  like  to  the  whoredoms 
of  the  house  of  Ahab,  and  also 
hast  slain  thy  brethren  of  thy 
father's  house,  tohich  loere  better 
than  thyself:  Behold,  with  a  great 
plague  will  the  Lord  smite  thy 
people,  and  thy  children,  and  thy 
wives,  and  all  thy  goods;  And 
thou  Shalt  have  great  sickness  by 
disease  of  thy  bowels,  until  thy 
bowels  fall  out  by  reason  of  the 
sickness  day  by  day.  Moreover, 
tlie  Lord  stirred  up  against 
Jehoram  the  spirit  of  the  Pliil- 
istines,  and  of  the  Arabians, 
that  were  near  the  Ethiopians: 
And  they  came  up  into  Judah, 
and  brake  into  it,  and  carried 
away  all  the  substance  that  was 
found  in  the  king's  house,  and 
hia  sous  also,  and  his  wives:  so ' 


that  tliere  was  never  a  son  left 
him,  save  Jehoahaz,  the  youngest 
of  his  sons. 

Ps.  Ixxiv,  9.  We  see  not  our 
signs:  there  is  no  more  any  pro- 
phet: neither  is  there  among  U3 
any  that  knoweth  how  long. 

Prov.  xxix,  IS.  Where  there  is 
no  vision,  the  people  perish:  but 
he  that  keepeth  the  law,  happy 
is  he. 

Jcr.  vi,  27.  I  have  set  thee  for 
a  tower  and  a  fortress  among  my 
people,  that  thou  mayest  know 
and  try  their  way. 

Hosea  vi,  5,  6.  Therefore  have 
I  hewed  them  by  the  prophets; 
I  have  slain  them  by  the  words 
of  my  mouth:  and  thy  judgments 
are  as  the  light  that  goetii  forth. 
For  I  desired  mercy,  and  not 
sacrifice;  and  the  knowledge  of 
God  more  than  burnt-olTerings. 

SCHOOLS  OF  THE  PRO- 
PHETS. 
2  Kings  ii.  3-7.  And  the  sons  of 
the  prophets  that  were  at  Beth-el 
came  forth  to  Elisha,  and  said 
unto  him,  Knowest  thou  that  the 
Lord  will  take  away  thy  master 
from  thy  head  to-day?  And  he 
said.  Yea,  I  know  it;  hold  ye  your 
peace.  And  Elijah  said  unto  him, 
Eiislia,  tarry  here,  I  pray  thee; 
tor  the  Lord  hath  sent  me  to 
Jericho.  And  lie  said.  As  the 
LoBD  liveth,  and  as  thy  soul 
liveth,  1  will  not  leave  thee.  So 
they  came  to  Jericho.  And  the 
sons  of  the  propliets  that  7vere  at 
Jericho  curae  to  Elislia,  and  said 
unto  him,  Knowest  thou  that  the 
Lord  will  take  away  thy  master 
from  thy  head  to-day?  And  he 
answered,  Yea,  1  know  it;  hold 
ye  your  peace.  And  Elijah  said 
unto  him.  Tarry,  I  pray  thee, 
here;  for  the  Lord  hath  sent  me 
to  Jordan.  And  he  said,  As  the 
Lord  liveth,  and  as  thy  soul  liv- 
eth, 1  will  not  leave  thee.  And 
they  two  went  on.  And  fifty 
men  of  the  sons  of  the  prophets 
went,  and  stood  to  view  afar  ofl: 
and  they  two  stood  bv  Jordan. 

PROPHETESSES. 
Exod.  XV,  20.  And  Miriam  tho 
prophetess,  the  sister  of  Aaron, 
took  a  timbrel  in  her  hand;  and 
all  the  women  went  out  after  her 
with  timbrels  and  with  dances. 

Judges  iv,  4,  5.  And  Deborah,  a 
prophetess,  the  wife  of  Lapidoth, 
slie  judged  Israel  at  that  time. 
And  she  dwelt  under  the  palm- 
tree  of  Deborah,  between  Ramah 
and  Beth-el  in  nioupt  Ephraim: 
and  the  children  of  Israel  came 
up  to  her  for  judgment.

Tinto  Hnldah  the  prophetess,  the 
wife  of  Shallum  the  son  of  Tikvah, 
the  son  of  Harhas,  keeper  of  the 
wardrobe;  (now  she  dwelt  in  Jeru- 
salem in  the  college;)  and  they 
communed  with  her.  And  she 
said  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  of  Israel,  Tell  the  man 
that  sent  you  to  me. 

2  Ohron.  xxxiv,  22,  23.  And 
Hilkiah,  and  they  that  the  king 
had  appointed,  went  to  Huldah 
the  prophetess,  the  wife  of  Shal- 
lum the  son  of  Tikvath,  the  son  of 
Hasrah,  keeper  of  the  wardrobe; 
(now  she  dwelt  in  Jerusalem  in 
the  college;)  and  they  spake  to 
her  to  that  effect.  And  she  ans- 
wered them,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  of  Israel,  Tell  ye  the  man 
that  sent  you  to  me. 

Isa.  vlii.  3.  And  I  went  unto  the 
prophetess;  and  she  conceived, 
and  b  re  a  son:  then  said  the 
Lord  lo  me.  Call  his  name  Maher- 
Bhalal-hash-baz. 

Luke  ii,  36,  37.  And  there  was 
one  Anna,  a  prophetess,  the 
daughter  of  Phanuel,  of  the  tribe 
of  Aser:  she  was  of  a  great  age; 
and  had  lived  with  an  husband 
seven  years  from  her  virginity, 
And  she  was  a  widow  of  about 
fourscoie  and  four  years,  which 
departed  not  from  the  temple, 
but  served  God  with  fastings  and 
prayers  nigtit  and  day. 

Acts  xxi,  9.  And  the  same  man 
had  four  (laughters,  virgins,  which 
did  prophesy. 


Ezek.  xili,  17-23.  Likewise,  thou 
eon  of  man,  set  thy  face  against 
the  daughters  of  thy  people,  whicii 
ifjrophesy  out  of  their  own  heart; 
and  prophesy  thou  against  them, 
And  say,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
Goo;  Woe  to  the  xoomen  that  sew 
pillows  to  all  arm-holes,  and  make 
kerchiefs  upon  the  head  of  every 
stature,  to  hunt  souls!  Will  ye 
hunt  the  souls  of  my  people,  and 
will  ye  save  the  souls  alive  that 
come  unto  you?  And  will  ye 
pollute  me  among  my  people  for 
handfuls  of  barley,  and  for  pieces 
of  bread,  to  slay  the  souls  that 
should  not  die,  and  to  save  the 
CD'ils  alive  that  should  not  live, 
by  your  lying  to  my  people  that 
hear  your  lies?  Wherefore  thus 
saith  the  Lord  God,  Behold,  I  am 
against  your  pillows,  wherewith 
ye  there  hunt  the  souls  to  make 
them  fly,  and  I  will  tear  them 
from  your  arms,  and  will  let  the 
f^ouls  go,  even  the  souls  that  ye 
hunt  to  make  them  fly.  Your 
kerchiefs  also  will  I  tear,  and  de- 
liver my  people  out  of  your  hand, 
and  they  shall  be  no  more  in  your 
hand  to  be  hunted;  and  ye  shall 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord.  Be- 
cause with  lies  ye  Ijave  made  the 
lieart  ol  tlic  rijihteous  sad,  whom 


I  have  not  made  sad;  and  8trengt.h- 
ened  the  hands  of  the  wicked, 
that  he  should  not  return  from  his 
wicked  way,  by  promising  him 
life.  Therefore  ye  shall  see  no 
more  vanity,  nor  divine  divina- 
tions: for  I  will  deliver  my  people 
out  of  your  hand;  and  ye  shall 
know  that  I  am  the  Lobd. 

Rev.  11,  20.  Notwithstanding  I 
have  a  few  things  against  thee, 
because  thou  sufiferest  thatwoman 
Jezebel,  which  calleth  herself  a 
prophetess,  to  teach  and  to  seduce 
ray  servants  to  commit  fornica- 
tion, and  to  eat  things  sacriflced 
unto  idols. 

PROPHETS  UNDER  THE 
NEW  TESTAMENT; 

Acts  xy,  32.  And  Judas  and 
Silas,  being  prophets  also  them- 
selves, exhorted  the  brethren  with 
many  words,  and  confirmed  them. 

Rom.  xii,  6.  Having  then  gifts 
differing  according  to  the  grace 
that  is  given  to  us,  whether  pro- 
phecy, let  us  prophesy  according 
to  the  proportion  of  faith. 

1  Qor.  xiv,  1-3,  29-33.  Follow 
after  charity,  and  desire  spiritual 
gifts,  but  rather  that  ye  may  pro- 
phesy. For  he  that  speaketh  in 
an  unknown  tongue  speaketh  not 
unto  men,  but  unto  God:  for  no 
man  understandeth  him;  howbeit 
in  the  spirit  he  speaketh  mys- 
teries. But  he  that  prophesieth 
speaketh  unto  men  to  edificati(»n, 
and  exhortation,  and  comfort.  Let 
the  prophets  speak  two  or  three, 
and  let  the  other  judge.  If  any 
thing  be  revealed  to  another  that 
sitteth  by,  let  the  first  hold  his 
peace.  For  ye  may  all  prophesy  one 
by  one,  that  all  may  learn,  and  all 
may  be  comforted.  And  the 
spirits  of  the  prophets  are  subject 
to  the  prophets.  For  God  is  not 
the  author  of  confusion,  but  of 
peace,  as  in  all  churches  of  the 
saints. 

THE  PROPHETS  RESPECTED. 
1  Sam.  ill,  19,  20.  And  Samuel 
grew,  and  the  Lord  was  with  him, 
and  did  let  none  of  his  words  full 
to  the  ground.  And  all  Israel, 
from  Dan  even  to  Beersheba, 
knew  that  Samuel  was  establish- 
ed to  be  a  prophet  of  the  Lord. 

1  Sam.  Ix,  6.  And  he  said  unto 
hlin.  Behold  now,  there  is  in  this 
city  a  man  of  God,  and  he  is  an 
honourable  man;  all  that  he  saith 
Cometh  surely  to  pass:  now  let  us 
go  thither;  peradveuture  he  can 
shew  us  our  way  that  we  should 
go. 

1  Kings  xvill,  4.  For  it  was  so, 

when  Jezebel  cut  off  the  prophets 

of  the  Loud,  that  Obadiah   took 

au    hundred   prophets,   uud   hid 

670 


them  by  fifty  m  a  cave,  and  fed 
them  with  bread  and  water.) 

2  Kings  11,  15.  And  when  the 

sons  of  the  prophets,  which  were 
to  view  at  Jericho,  saw  him,  they 
said.  The  spirit  of  Elijah  doth 
rest  on  Elisha.  And  they  came 
to  meet  him,  and  bowed  them- 
selves to  the  ground  before  him. 

2  Kings  x,  10.  Know  now  that 
there  shall  fall  unto  the  earth 
nothing  of  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
which  the  Lord  spake  concerning 
the  house  of  Ahab:  for  the  Lord 
hath  done  that  which  he  spake  by 
his  servant  Elijah. 

2  Chron.  xxvl,  5.  And  he  sought 
God  in  the  days  of  Zecliariah,who 
had  understanding  in  the  visions 
of  God:  and  as  long  as  he  sought 
the  LoKD,  God  made  him  to  pros- 
per. 

Jer.  xxxix,ll,12.  Now  Nebuchad- 
re-zar  king  of  Babylon  gave 
charge  concerning  Jeremiah  to 
Nebuzar-adan  the  captain  of  the 
guard,  saying,  Take  him,  and 
look  well  to  him,  and  do  him  no 
harm;  but  do  unto  him  even  as 
he  shall  say  unto  thee. 

Jer.  xl,  4,  5.  And  now,  behold,  I 
loose  thee  [Jeremiah]  this  daytrom 
the  chains  which  were  upon  thine 
hand.  If  it  seem  good  unto  thee 
to  come  with  me  into  Babylon, 
come,  and  I  will  look  well  unto 
thee:  but  if  it  seem  ill  unto  thee 
to  come  with  me  into  Babylon, 
forbear:  behold,  all  the  land  is 
before  thee;  whither  it  seemeth 
good  and  convenient  for  thee  to 
go,  thither  go.  Now.  while  he 
was  not  yet  gone  back,  he  said, 
Go  back  also  to  Gedaliah  the  son 
of  Ahikam,  the  son  of  Shaphan, 
whom  the  king  of  Babylon  hath 
made  governor  over  the  cities  of 
Judah,  an<l  dwell  with  him  among 
tlie  people;  or  go  wheresoever  it 
seemeth  convenient  unto  thee  to 
go.  So  the  captain  of  the  guard 
gave  him  victuals  and  a  reward, 
and  let  him  go. 

Acts  xxvi,  27.  King  Agrippa, 
believest  thou  the  propliets?  I 
know  timt  thou  believest. 

BUT  SOMETIMES  HATED 
AND  PERSECUTED. 

1  Kings  xxii,  7-9,  24-27.  And 
Jehoshaphat  said,  Is  there  not 
here  a  prophet  of  the  Lord  be- 
sides, that  we  might  enquire  of 
him?  And  the  king  of  Israel  said 
unto  Jehoshaphat,  There  is  yet 
one  man,  Micaiah  the  son  of 
Imlah,  by  whom  we  may  enquire 
of  the  Lord:  but  I  hate  him;  for 
he  doth  not  prophesygood  concern- 
ing me,  but  evil.  And  Jehosha- 
phat said.  Let  not  the  king  say 
80.  Then  the  king  of  Israel  called 
au  officer,  and  said.  Hasten  hither 
Miuaiab  the  bou  of  imiaU.    But 


2e  lekiah  the  son  of  C'lonnanaTi 
Wuiit  near,  and  smote  Micaiah  on 
the  cheek,  and  said,  Which  wa^ 
went  the  Spirit  of  the  Loud  from 
mo  to  speals  uuto  thee?  And 
Micaiah  said,  Behold,  thou  shalt 
see  in  that  day,  when  thou  shalt 
go  into  an  inner  chamher  to  hide 
thyself.  And  the  king  of  Israel 
said,  Take  Micaiah,  and  carry 
him  back  unto  Amon  the  governor 
of  the  city,  and  to  Joash  the  king's 
son;  And  say,  Thus  saith  the 
king,  Put  thia  felloio  in  the  prison, 
and  feed  him  with  bread  of  afflic- 
tion, and  with  water  of  affliction, 
until  I  come  in  peace. 

2  0iron.  xviii,  17,  25,  26.  And 
the  king  of  Israel  said  to  Jeho- 
sliaphat,  Did  I  not  tell  thee  that 
he  would  not  prophesy  good  unto 
me,  but  evil?  Then  the  king  of 
Israel  said.  Take  ye  Micaiah,  and 
carry  liim  back  to  Anion  the 
governor  of  the  city,  and  to  Joash 
the  lUng'p  son:  And  say.  Thus 
saith  the  king,  Put  this  fellow  in 
the  prison,  and  feed  iiiui  with 
bread  of  affliction,  and  with  water 
of  affliction,  until  I  return  in 
peace.

the  seers,  See  not;  and  to  the  pro- 
phets, Prophesy  not  unto  us  right 
things;  speak  uuto  us  smooth

out  of  the  way,  turn  aside  out  of 
the  patli,  cause  tlie  Holy  One  of 
Israel  to  cease  from  before  us. 

Jer.  xi,  21-23.  Therefore  thus 
saith  the  Lord  of  the  men  of  Ana- 
tlioth.  that  seek  thy  life,  saying, 
Prophesy  not  in  tlie  name  of  tiie

hand:  Therefore  tlius  saitli  the 
Lord  of  hosts.  Behold,  I  will

shall  die  by  tlie  sword;  their  sons 
and  their  daughters  sliall  die  by 
famine:  And  there  shall  be  no 
remnant  of  tliem:  for  I  will  bring 
evil  upon  the  men  of  Anathotli, 
even  the  year  of  their  visitation. 

Jer.  XX,  1,  2.  Now  Pashur  the

For  therefore  he  sent  unto  us  in 
Babylon,  saying,  This  captivity  is 
long:  build  ye  houses,  and  dwell 
in  them;  and  plant  gardens,  and 
eat  the  fruit  of  them.  And  Zeph- 
aniah the  priest  read  this  letter  in 
the  ears  of  Jeremiah  the  prophet. 

Jer.  xxxil,  2,  3.  For  then  the 
king  of  Babylon's  army  besieged 
Jerusalem:  and  Jeremiah  the  pro- 
phet was  shut  up  in  the  court  of 
the  prison,  which  was  in  the  king 
of  Judah's  house.  For  Zedekiah 
king  of  Judah  had  shut  him  up, 
saying.  Wherefore  dost  thou  pro- 
phesy, and  say,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Behold,  I  will  give  this  city 
into  the  hand  of  the  king  of  Baby- 
lon, and  he  shall  take  it. 

Ezek.  iii,  25,  26.  But  thou,  0  son 
of  man,  behold,  they  shall  put 
bands  upon  thee,  and  shall  bind 
thee  with  them,  and  thou  shalt 
not  go  out  among  them:  And  1 
will  make  thy  tongue  cleave  to 
the  roof  of  thy  mouth,  that  thou 
shalt  be  dumb,  and  shalt  not  be  to 
them  a  reprover;  for  they  are  a 
rebellious  house. 

Amosyii,  12,  13,  16,  17.  Also 
Amaziah  said  unto  Amos,  O  thou 
seer,  go,  flee  thee  away  into  the 
land  of  Judah,  and  there  eat 
bread,  and  prophe.-<y  there:  But 
prophesy  not  again  any  more  at 
iietli-el;  for  it  is  the  king's  chapel, 
and  it  is  the  king's  court.  Now 
therefore  hear  thou  the  word  of 
the  Lord:  Thou  sayest.  Prophesy 
not  agiinst  Israel,  and  drop  not 
thy  word  against  the  house  of 
Isaac.  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Thy  wife  shall  be  an  harlot 
in  the  city,  and  thy  sons  and  thy 
daughters  shall  fall  by  the  sword, 
and  thy  land  shall  be  divided  by 
line;  and  thou  shalt  die  in  a 
polluted  land:  and  Israel  shall 
surely  go  into  captivity  forth  of 
his  land. 

Micah  ii,  6.  Prophesy  ye  not, 
say  they  to  them  that  prophesy: 
they  shall  not  prophesy  to  them, 
tluxt  they  shall  not  take  shame. 


1  Kings  xlx,  14.  And  he  said,  I 
have  been  very  jealous  for  the 
Lord  God  of  hosts:  because  the 
children  of  Israel  have  forsaken 
thy  covenant,  thrown  down  thine 
altars,  and  slain  thy  prophets 
with  the  sword;  and  l.even  I  only, 
am  left;  and  they  seek  my  life,  to 
take  it  away. 

2  Chron.  xxxvi,  16, 17.  But  they 
mocked  the  messengers  of  God, 
and  despised  his  words,  and  mis- 
used bis  prophets  until  the  wrath 

571 


of  the  Lord  arose  agafnst  hta 
people,  till  there  icas  no  remedy. 
Therefore  he  brought  upon  iliem 
the  king  of  the  Chaldees.  who 
slew  their  young  men  with  the 
sword  in  the  house  of  their  sanc- 
tuary, and  had  no  compassion 
upon  young  man  or  maiden,  old 
man,  or  him  that  stooped  for  age; 
he  gave  them  all  into  his  hand. 

Jer.  XX,  3,  4.  And  it  came  to 
pass  on  the  morrow,  that  Pashur 
brought  forth  Jeremiah  out  of 
the  stocks.  Then  said  Jeremiah 
unto  him  The  Lob»  hath  not 
called  thy  name  Pashur,  but 
Magor-raissabib.  For  thus  saith 
the  Lord,  Behold,  I  will  make 
thee  a  terror  to  thyself,  and  to  .ill 
thy  friends;  and  they  shall  fall  by 
the  sword  of  their  enemies,  and 
I  hine  eyes  shall  behold  it:  and  I 
will  give  all  Judah  into  the  hand 
of  the  king  of  Babylon,  and  he 
shall  carry  them  captive  Into 
Babylon,  and  shall  slay  them  with 
the  sword. 

Eom.  xi,  2,  3.  God  hath  not  cnst 
away  his  people  which  he  fore- 
knew. Wot  ye  not  what  the 
scripture  saith  of  Elias?  how  lie 
maketh  intercession  to  God 
against  Israel,  saying,  Lord,  they 
have  killed  thy  prophets,  and 
digged  down  thine  ali.ars;  and  I 
Min  left  alone,  and  they  seek  my 
life. 

James  v,  10.  Take,  my  brethren, 
the  prophets,  who  have  spoken  in 
the  name  of  the  Lord,  for  an 
example  of  suflering  affliction, 
and  of  patience. 

DUTY  OF  THE  PEOPLE. 
Zech.  vii,  7.  Should  ye  not  hear 
the  words  which  the  Lord  hath 
cried  by  the  former  prophets, 
when  Jerusalem  was  inhabited 
and  in  prosperity,  and  the  cities 
thereof  round  about  her,  when 
men  inhabited  the  south  and  the 
plain? 

1  Thess.y,20.  Despise  not  pro- 
phesyings. 

SIN  OF  UNBELIEF. 

2  Kings  vii,  1,  2.  Then  Elisha 
said.  Hear  ye  the  word  of  the 
Lord;  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  To- 
morrow, about  this  time,  shall  a 
measure  of  fine  flour  be  sold  for  a 
shekel,  and  two  measures  of 
barley  for  a  shekel,  in  the  gate  of 
Samarli.  Then  a  lord  on  whose 
hand  the  king  leaned  answered 
the  man  of  God,  and  said.  Behold, 
(j/the  Lord  would  make  windows, 
in  heaven,  might  this  thing  be? 
And  he  said,  lieliold,  thou  shalt 
see  it  with  thine  eyes,  but  shalt 
not  eat  thereof. 

2  Chron.  xxiv,  19.  Yet  he  sent 
prophets  to  them,  to  bring  them 
again  uuto  the  Lord;  and  th/jy

(estffled  ajralnst  them:  but  they 
•would  not  give  ear. 

Jer.  vii.  25-28.  Since  the  day 
that  your  fathers  came  forth  out 
of  the  land  of  Eg-ypt  unto  this 
day,  I  have  even  sent  unto  you  all 
my  servants  the  prophets,  daily 
rising  up  early,  and  sending  ^Aera.- 
Yet  they  hearltened  not  unto  me, 
nor  inclined  their  ear,  but  har- 
dened their  necli;  they  did  worse 
than  tlieir  fathers.  Therefore 
thou  Shalt  speak  all  these  words 
unto  them;  but  they  will  hot  hear- 
ken to  thee:  thou  shall  also  call 
unto  them;  but  tliey  will  not 
answer  thee.  But  thou  shalt  say 
unto  them,  This  is  a  nation  that 
obeyeth  not  the  voice  of  the 
LoKD  their  God,  nor  recelveth 
correction:  truth  is  perislied,  and 
is  cut  off  from  their  mouth. 

Jer.  XXV,  3,  4.  From  the  thir- 
teenth year  of  Joshua  tlie  son  of 
Amon  king  of  Judah,  even  unto 
this  day,  (that  is  the  three  and 
twentieth  year,)  the  word  of  the 
Lord  hath  come  unto  me,  and  I 
have  spoken  unto  you,  rising 
early  and  speaking;  but  ye  liave 
not  hearkened.  And  tlie  Lord 
h:ith  sent  unto  you  all  his  ser- 
vants the  propliets,  rising  early 
and  sending  them;  but  ye  have 
not  hearkened,  nor  inclined  your 
ear  to  lioar. 

Jer.  xliii,  1-4.  And  It  came  to 
pass,  that  when  Jeremiah  had 
made  an  end  of  speaking  unto  all 
the  people  all  tlie  words  of  the 
Lord  their  God,  for  which  tlie 
Loud  tlieir  God  had  sent  him  to 
tliera,  even  all  these  words.  Then 
spake  Azariah  the  son  of  IIo- 
sliaiah,  and  Johanan  the  son  of 
Kareah,  and  all  the  proud  men, 
saying  unto  Jeremiah,  Thou 
speakest  falsely;  the  Lord  our 
God  liath  not  sent  thee  to  say.  Go 
not  Into  l-^gypt  to  sojourn  tliere: 
But  Baruch  the  son  of  Neriah, 
setteth  thee  on  against  us,  for  to 
deliver  us  into  the  hand  of  the 
Clialdeans,  that  they  might  put 
us  to  death,  and  carry  us  away 
captives  into  Babylon.  So  Jo- 
hanan the  son  of  Kareah,  and  all 
the  captains  of  the  forces,  and  all 
the  people,  obeyed  not  the  voice 
of  the  Lord,  to  dwell  in  the  land 
of  Judah. 

Its  PuNiSHMEirr. 
Keh.  ix,  30.  Yet  many  yeara 
didst  thou  forbear  tliem,  and 
lestifledst  against  them  by  thy 
Spirit  in  thy  prophets:  yet  would 
tliey  not  give  ear:  therefore  gav- 
est  thou  tliera  into  the  hand  of  the 
people  of  the  lands. 

Jer.  V,  12-15.  They  have  belled 
the  Lord,  and  said.  It  is  not  he; 
neither  shall  evil  come  upon  us; 
neither  shall  we  see  sword  nor 
famine:  And  the  prophets  sUall 


become  wind,  and  the  word  is  not 
ill  them:  thus  shall  it  be  done  unto 
them.  Wherefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  of  hosts.  Because  ye 
speak  this  word,  behold,  I  will 
make  my  words  in  thy  mouth 
fire,  and  this  people  wood,  and  it 
shall  devour  them.  Lo,  I  will 
bring  a  nation  upon  you  from  far, 

0  house  of  Israel,  saith  the  Loud: 
it  is  a  mighty  nation,  it  is  an 
ancient  nation,  a  nation  whose 
language  thou  k  no  west  not, 
neither  understandest  what  they 
say. 

Jer.  xxix,  18,  19.  And  I  will 
persecute  them  with  the  sword, 
with  the  famine,  and  with  the 
pestilence,  and  will  deliver  them 
to  be  removed  to  all  the  king- 
doms of  the  earth,  to  be  a  curse, 
and  an  astonishment,  and  an 
hissing,  and  a  reproach,  among  all 
the  nations  whither  I  have 
driven  them:  Because  they  have 
not  hearkened  to  my  words,  saith 
the  Lord,  which  I  sent  unto  them 
by  my  servants  the  prophets, 
rising  up  early,  and  sending  them; 
but  ye  would  not  hear,  saith  the 
Lord.

FALSE  PKOPHETS. 

WARNINGS  AGAINST  THEM. 

Neh.  vi,  8.  9.  Then  I  sent  unto 
him,  saying,  There  are  no  such 
things  done  as  thou  sayest,  but 
thou  feignest  them  out  of  thine 
own  heart.  For  they  all  made 
us  afraid,  saying.  Their  hands 
shall  be  weakened  from  the  work, 
that  it  be  not  done.  Now  there- 
fore, O  God,  streugthen  my 
hands. 

Jer.  xiv,  14.  Then  the  Lord 
said  unto  me.  The  prophets  pro- 
phesy lies  in  my  name:  I  sent 
them  not,  neither  have  I  com- 
manded them,  neither  spake  unto 
them:  they  prophesy  unto  you  a 
false  vision  and  divination,  and  a 
thing  of  nought,  and  the  deceit  of 
their  heart. 

Jer.  xxiil,  14-16,  21,  22,  25-2a 

1  have  seen  also  in  the  prophets 
of  Jerusalem  an  horrible  thing: 
they  commit  adultery,  and  walk 
in  lies:  they  strengthen  also  the 
hands  of  evil-doers,  that  none 
doth  return  from  his  wickedness: 
they  are  all  of  them  unto  me  as 
Sodom,  and  the  inhahitants  there- 
of as  Gomorrah.  Therefore  thus 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts  concerning 
the  prophets.  Behold,  I  will  feed 
them  with  wormwood,  and  make 
them  drink  the  water  of  gall:  for 
from  the  prophets  of  Jerusalem  is 
profaneness  gone  forth  into  all 
the  laud.  Tiius  saitli  the  Lord  of 
hosts.  Hearken  not  unto  the 
words  of  the  prophets  that  pro- 
phesy unto  you:  they  make  you 
Taim  Ihey  speak  a  vision  of  their 

572 


own  heart,  and  not  out  of  the 
mouth  of  the  Lord.  I  have  not 
Rent  these  prophets,  yet  they  ran: 
I  have  not  spoken  to  them,  yet 
they  prophesied.  But  if  they  had 
stood  in  my  counsel,  and  had 
caused  my  people  to  hear  my 
words,  then  they  should  have 
turned  them  from  their  evil  way, 
and  from  the  evil  of  their  doings. 
I  have  heard  what  the  prophets 
said,  that  prophesy  lies  in  my 
name,  saying,  I  have  dreamefl,  I 
have  dreamed.  How  long  shall 
this  be  in  the  heart  of  the  pro- 
phets that  prophesy  lies?  yea, 
they  are  propi  ets  of  the  deceit  of 
their  own  heart;  Which  think  to 
cause  my  people  to  forget  my 
name  by  their  dreams,  which  they 
tell  every  man  to  his  neighbour, 
as  their  fathers  have  forgotten  my 
name  for  Baal.  The  prophet  that 
hath  a  dream,  let  him  tell  a  dream; 
and  he  that  hath  my  word,  let  him 
speak  my  word  faithfully..  .  ,  . 

Jer.  xxviil,  14-17.  For  thus 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God 
of  Israel;  I  have  put  a  yoke  of 
iron  upon  the  neck  of  all  these 
nations,  that  they  may  serve  ' 
Nebuchadnezzar  king  of  Babylon; 
and  they  shall  serve  him:  and  I 
have  given  him  the  beasts  of  the 
field  also.  Then  said  the  prophet 
Jeremiah  unto  Hananiah  the 
prophet.  Hear  now,  Hananiah, 
The  Lord  hath  not  sent  thee;  but 
thou  makest  this  people  to  trust 
in  a  lie:  Therefore  thus  saith  tlie 
Lord,  Behold,  I  will  cast  thee  from 
off  the  face  of  the  earth:  this  year 
thou  Shalt  die,  because  thou  hast 
taughtrebellionagainst  the  Lord. 
So  Hananiah  the  prophet  died  the 
same  year,  in  the  seventh  month. 

Jer.  xxix,  8.  For  thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Israel, 
Let  not  your  prophets  and  your 
diviners,  that  be  in  the  midst  of 
you,  deceive  you,  neither  hearken 
to  your  dreams  which  ye  caused 
to  be  dreamed. 

3Iatth.  vii,  15.  Beware  of  false 
prophets,  which  come  to  you  in 
sheep's  clothing,  but  invvai'dly 
they  are  ravening  wolves. 

Matth.  xxiv,  11.  And  many  false 
prophets  shall  rise,  and  shall  de- 
ceive many. 

2  Peter  il,  1.  But  there  were 
false  prophets  also  among  the 
people,  even  as  there  sJiall  be 
false  teachers  among  you,  who 
privily  shall  bring  in  damnable 
heresies,  even  denying  the  Lord 
that  bought  them,  and  bring  upon 
themselves  swift  destruction 

1  John  Iv,  1.  Beloved,  believe 
not  every  spirit,  but  try  the  spirits 
w  hether  they  are  of  God;  because 
many  false  prophets  are  gone  out 
into  the  world. 


PROPHECY. 


THEIR  CHARACTER. 

MERCENARY. 

Neh.  vi,  10-14.  A  fterward  I  came 
unto  the  house  of  Slieinainh  the 
son  of  Delaiali  the  son  of  Mehe- 
tabeel.  who  toas  shut  np;  and  he 
said,  Let  us  meet  togetlier  in  the 
house  of  God,  within  the  temple, 
and  let  us  slmt  the  doors  of  the 
temple:  for  they  will  come  to  slay 
thee;  yea,  in  tlie  night  will  they 
come  to  slay  thee.  And  I  said. 
Should  sucli  a  man  as  I  flee?  and 
who  is  there,  that,  being  as  I  am. 
would  go  into  the  temple  to  save 
his  life?  I  will  not  go  ia.  And, 
lo,  I  perceived  that  God  had  not 
sent  him;  but  that  he  pronounced 
tliis  prophecy  against  me:  for 
Tobiah  and  Sanballat  had  hired 
him.  Therefore  ivas  he  hired, 
that  I  should  be  afraid,  and  do  so, 
and  sin,  and  that  they  might  have 
matter  for  an  evil  report,  that 
they  might  reproach  me.  My 
G(jd,  think  thou  upon  Tobiah  and 
Sanballat  according  to  these  tlieir 
works,  and  on  the  prophetess 
Noadiah,  and  the  rest  of  tlie  pro- 
phets, that  would  have  put  me  in 
.  fear.  • 

Ezek.  xxli,  25.  There  is  a  con- 
spiiacy  of  her  prophets  in  the 
miiist  thereof,  like  a  roaring  lion 
ravening  the  prey:  they  have  de- 
Toured  souls;  they  have  taken  the 
treasure  and  precious  things;  they 
have  made  her  many  widows  in 
the  midst  thereof. 

False. 

1  Kings  xxii,  24.  25.  But  Zede- 
kiah  the  son  of  (Jlienaanah  went 
near,  and  smote  Micaiah  on  the 
cheek,  and  said,  Wtiich  way  went 
the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  from  me 
to  speak  unto  thee?  And  Micaiah 
said.  Behold,  thou  shalt  see  in 
that  day,  when  thou  shalt  go  into 
an  inner  chamber  to  hide  thyself. 

75a.  ix,  15.  The  ancient  and 
honourable,  he  is  the  head:  and 
the  propliet  that  teacheth  lies,  he 
is  tlie  tail. 

Jer.  xxvii,  15.  For  I  have  not 
sent  them,  saith  the  Lord,  yet 
they  prophesy  a  lie  in  my  name; 
that  1  niigiit  drive  you  out,  and 
that  ye  might  perish,  ye,  and  the 
propliets  lliat  propliesy  unto  you. 

Jer.  xxix,  9.  For  they  propliesy 
falsely  unto  you  in  my  nanu':  I 
h:ive  not  sent  them  saith  the 
Lord. 

Ezek.  xiii,  22.  Because  with  lies 
ye  liave  made  tlie  liean  of  tlie 
righteous  sad,  whom  I  have  not 
made  sad;  and  strengthened  the 
hands  of  the  wicked,  Ihit  he 
should  not  return  from  his  wicked 
way,  by  promising  him  life. 

Ezek.  xxi.  29.  Whiles  they  see 
vanity  unio  thee,  whiles  they 
divine  a  lie  unto  thou   to  bring 


thee  upon  the  necks  of  them  that 
are  slain,  of  the  wicked,  whose 
day  is  come,  when  their  iniquity 
shall  have  an  end. 

Ezek.  xxii,  28.  And  her  prophets 
have  daubed  them  with  untem- 
prred  mortar,  seeing  vanity,  and 
divining  lies  unto  them,  saying, 
Thus  sitith  the  Lord  God,  when 
the  Lord  hath  not  spoken. 

Flatterers. 
Jer.  xxiii,  17, 18.  They  say  still 
unto  them  that  despise  me.  The 
Lord  hath  said,  Ye  shall  have 
peace;  and  they  say  unto  every 
one  that  walketh  after  the  im- 
agination of  his  own  heart.  No 
evil  shall  come  upon  you.  For 
who  hath  stood  in  the  counsel  of 
the  Lord,  and  hath  perceived  and 
heard  his  word?  who  hath  marked 
his  word,  and  heard  itf 

Lam.  il,  14.  Thy  prophets  have 
seen  vain  and  foolish  tilings  for 
thee:  and  they  have  not  discover- 
ed thine  iniquity,  to  turn  away 
thy  captivity;  but  have  seen  for 
thee  false  burdens,  and  causes  of 
banishment. 

Ezek.  xiii,  4-9.  O  Israel,  thy 
prophets  are  like  the  foxes  in  the 
deserts.  Ye  have  not  gone  up 
into  the  gaps,  neither  made  up  the 
hedge  for  tlie  house  of  Israel  to 
stand  in  the  battle  in  the  day  of 
the  Lord.  They  have  seen  vanity 
and  lying  divination,  saying,  The 
Lord  saith;  and  tlie  Lord  hath  not 
sent,  them:  and  they  have  made 
others  to  hope  that  they  would 
conlirm  the  word.  Have  ye  not 
seen  a  vain  vision,  and  liave  ye 
not  spoken  a  lying  divination, 
whereas  ye  say.  The  Lord  saith 
it;  albeit  I  have  not  spoken? 
Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God,  Because  yo  have  spoken 
vanity,  and  seen  lies,  therefore,, 
behold,  I  am  against  you,  saitli 
the  Lord  God.  And  mine  hand 
shall  bo  upon  the  prophets  that 
see  vanity,  and  that  divine  lies: 
they  shall  not  be  in  the  assembly 
of  my  people,  neither  shall  they 
be  written  in  the  writing  of  the 
house  ot  Israel,  neither  shall  they 
entt-r  into  the  land  of  Israel;  and 
ye  shall  know  that  1  am  the  Lord 
God. 

Especially  vs  Time  of  Wab. 

1  Kings  xxii  6.  11,  12.  Then  the 
king  of  Israel  gathered  tlie  pro- 
phets together,  about  four  hun- 
dred men,  and  said  unto  them, 
Shall  1  go  against  Kamotti-gilead 
to  battle,  or  shull  I  forbear?  And 
they  said.  Go  up;  for  tlie  Lord 
shall  deliver  it  into  the  hand  of 
the  king.  And  Zedekiah  the  son 
ot  Chenaanah  made  him  horns  of 
iron;  and  lie  said,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  With  these  shalt  thou  push 
thu  Syrians,  until  ihou  iiave  cou- 
673 


sumed  them.  And  all  the  pro- 
phets prophesied  so,  saying.  Go 
up  to  Ranioth-gilead,  and  prosper: 
for  the  Lord  shall  deliver  it  into 
the  king's  hand. 

2  Chron.  xviii,  5.  10, 11.  There- 
fore the  king  of  Israel  gathered 
together  of  prophets  four  hundred 
men,  and  saith  unto  them.  Shall 
we  go  to  Ranioth-gilead  to  battle, 
or  shall  I  forbear?  And  they  said. 
Go  up  ;  for  God  will  deliver  it  into 
the  king's  hand.  And  Zedekiah 
the  son  of  Chenaanah  had  made 
him  horns  of  iron,  and  said,  'J'hns 
saith  the  Lord,  With  these  thou 
Shalt  push  Syria  until  they  be  con- 
sumed. And  all  the  propliets  pro- 
phesied so,  saying.  Go  up  to  Ra- 
moth-gilead,  and  prosper;  for  the 
Lord  shall  deliver  ^■i  into  the  hand 
of  the  king. 

^Jer.  xiv,  13.  Then  said  I.  Ah  Lord 
God!  behold,  the  prophets  say  unto 
them.  Ye  shall  not  see  the  sword, 
neither  shall  j'e  have  famine  ;  but 
I  will  give  you  assured  peace  in 
tliis  place. 

Jer.  xxviii,  1-4,  10,  11.  And  it 
cdme  to  pass  the  same  year,  in  the 
beginning  of  the  reign  of  Zedekiah 
kiiiir  of  Judah.  in  the  fourth  year, 
and  in  the  fttth  month,  that  liana- 
niah  the  sou  of  Azur  the  prophet, 
which  ifas  of  Gibeon,  spake  unto 
me  in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  in 
the  presence  of  the  priests  and  of 
all  the  people,  saying,  Thusspeak- 
eth  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of 
Israel,  saying,  1  have  broken  the 
yoke  of  the  king  of  Babylon. 
VVithin  two  full  years  will  1  bring 
again  into  this  place  all  the  vessels 
of  ttie  Lord's  liouse,  that  Nebu- 
chadnezzar king  of  Babylon  took 
away  from  this  place,  and  carried 
them  to  Babylon ;  and  I  will  bring 
again  to  this  place  Jeconiah  the 
son  of  Jehoiakiin  king  of  Judah, 
with  all  the  captives  of  Judah, 
that  went  into  Babylon,  saith  the 
Lord  :  for  1  will  break  the  yoke  of 
the  king  of  Babylon.  Then  lla- 
naniah  the  prophet  took  the  yoke 
from  off  the  prophet  Jeremiah's 
neck,  and  brake  it.  And  Ilauaiiiah 
spake  in  the  presence  of  all  the 
penple,  saying.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Even  so  will  I  break  the 
yoke  of  Nebuchadnezzar  king  of 
Babylon  from  the  neck  of  all  na- 
tions within  the  space  of  two  full 
years.  And  the  prophet  Jeremiati 
went  his  way. 

THE  CRITERION. 
Deut.  xiii,  1-3.  If  there  arise 
among  you  a  prophet,  or  a  dreamer 
of  dreams,  and  giveth  thee  a  sign 
or  a  wonder  and  the  sign  or  the 
wonder  come  to  pas-,  whereof  he 
spake  unto  thee,  saying,  Let  us  go 
alter  other  gods,  which  thou  hast 
not  known,  and  let  us  serve  them  ; 
thou  shalt  not,  hearken  unto  ihe 
words  of  that  prophet,  or  tUat 


dreamer  of  dreams:  for  the  Lono 
your  God  proveth  you,  to  know 
whether  you  love  the  Lord  your 
God  with  all  your  heart  and  with 
all  your  soul. 

Deut.  xviil,  20-22.  But  the  pro- 
phet, whichshall  presume  to  speak 
a  word  in  my  name,  which  I  have 
not  commanded  him  to  speak,  or 
that  shall  speak  in  the  name  of 
other  gods,  even  that  propliet 
shall  die.  And  if  thou  say  in  thine 
heart.  How  shall  we  know  the 
word  which  the  Lord  hath  not 
spoken  ?  When  a  prophet  speak- 
eth  in  the  name  of  the  Lord,  if  the 
thing:  follow  not,  nor  come  to  pass, 
that  is  the  thing  which  the  Lord 
hath  not  spoken,  but  the  prophet 
hath  spoken  it  presumptuously : 
thou  Shalt  not  be  atraid  of  him. 

1  Kings  xxii,  28.  And  Micaiah 
said,  It  tliou  return  at  all  iu  peace, 
the  LoED  hath  not  spoken  by  me. 
And  he  said,  Hearken,  O  people, 
every  one  of  you. 

2  Chron.  xviii,  27.  And  Micaiah 
Bald,  It  tliou  certainly  return  in 
peace,  then  hath  not  the  Lord 
spoken  by  me.  And  he  said. 
Hearken,  all  ye  people. 

Isa.  xli,  21,  22.  Produce  your 
cause,  saith  the  Lord  ;  bring  forth 
your  strong  reasons,  saith  the 
King  of  Jacob.  Let  them  bring 
them  forth,  and  shew  us  what  shall 
ha{)iien  :  let  them  shew  the  former 
things,  what  they  be.  that  we  muy 
con.sider  them,  and  know  the  lat- 
ter end  of  tliem;  or  declare  us 
things  for  to  come. 

Isa.  xliii,  8„  9.  Bring  forth  the 
blind  people  that  have  eyes,  and 
the  deaf  that  have  ears.  Let  all 
the  nations  be  gathered  together, 
and  let  the  people  be  assembled  : 
wlio  among  them  can  declare  this 
and  shew  us  former  things?  let 
them  bring  forth  tlieir  witnesses 
that  they  may  be  justified ;  or  let 
them  hear,  and  say,  It  is  truth. 
Jer.  xxviii,  7-9.  Nevertheless  hear 
thou  now  this  word  that  I  speak 
in  thine  ears,  and  in  the  ears  of  all 
the  people ;  the  prophets  that  have 
been  before  me  and  before  thee  of 
old,  prophesied  both  against  many 
countries,  and  against  great  king- 
doms, of  war,  and  of  evil,  and  of 
pestilence.  Tlie  prophet  which 
prophesieth  of  peace,  when  the 
word  of  the  prophet  shall  come  to 
pass,  then  shall  the  prophet  be 
known,  that  the  Loud  hath  truly 
sent  him. 

Hzek.  xiv,  9.  And  if  the  prophet 
be  deceived  when  he  hath  spoken 
a  thing,  I  the  Lord  have  deceived 
that  prophet;  and  1  will  stretch 
out  my  hand  upon  him,  and  will 
destroy  him  from  the  midst  of  my 
people  JsraeL 

Ezelc.  xxlv,  24.  Thus  Ezeklel  is 
unto  you  a  sign:  according  to  all 


PEOPHLCY, 

that  he  hath  done  shall  ye  do; 
and  when  this  cometh,  ye  shall 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord  God. 


2  Kings  ill,  13.  And  Ellsha  said 
unto  the  king  of  Israel,  What  have 
I  to  do  with  ihee  ?  get  thee  to  the 
prophets  of  thy  father,  and  to  the 
prophets  of  thy  motlier.  And  the 
king  of  Israel  said  unto  him,  Nay : 
for  the  Lord  hath  called  tliese 
three  kings  together,  to  deliver 
them  into  the  hand  of  Moab. 

Jer.  xxxvli,  19.  Where  are  now 
your  prophets  which  prophesied 
unto  you,  Saying,  The  king  of  Ba- 
bylon shall  not  come  against  you, 
nor  against  this  land  ? 

THE  PENALTY. 

Deut.  xviii,  20.  But  the  prophet 
which  shall  presume  to  speak  a 
word  in  my  name,  which  I  have 
not  commanded  him  to  speak,  or 
that  shall  speak  in  the  name  of 
other  gods,  even  that  prophet 
sliall  die. 

Zech.  xiii,  2, 3.  And  It  shall  come 
to  pass  in  that  day,  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  that  I  will  cut  off  the 
names  of  the  idols  out  of  the  land, 
and  they  shall  no  more  be  remem- 
bered ;  and  also  I  will  cause  the 
prophets  and  the  unclean  spirit  to 
pass  out  of  the  land.  And  it  shall 
come  to  pass,  that  when  any  shall 
yet  prophesy,  then  his  father  and 
his  mother  that  begat  him  shall 
say  unto  him.  Thou  shalt  not  live ; 
for  thou  speakest  lies  in  the  name 
of  the  Lord:  and  his  father  and 
his  mother  that  begat  him  shall 
thrust  him  through  when  he  pro- 
phesieth. 

EEPB007. 

Jer.  xlv.  15.  Therefore  thus  saith 
the  Lord  concerning  the  prophets 
that  prophesy  in  my  name,  and  I 
sent  them  not,  yet  they  say.  Sword 
and  famine  shall  not  be  in  this 
land;  By  sword  and  famine  shall 
those  prophets  be  consumed. 

Jer.  XX,  6.  And  thou,  Pashur, 
and  all  that  dwell  in  thine  house, 
shall  go  into  captivity  :  and  thou 
Shalt  come  to  Babylon,  and  there 
thou  Shalt  die,  and  shalt  be  buried 
there,  thou,  and  all  thy  friends, 
to  whom  thou  hast  prophesied 
lies. 

Jer.  xxiil,  9,  13,  30-32.  Mine 
heart  within  me  is  broken  because 
of  the  prophets;  all  my  bones 
shake :  I  am  like  a  drunken  man, 
and  like  a  man  whom  w  ine  hath 
overcome,  because  of  the  Lord, 
and  because  of  the  words  of  his 
holiness.  And  I  have  seen  folly 
in  the  prophets  of  Samaria;  they 
prophesied  in  Baal,  and  caused 
my  people  Israel  to  err.  There- 
fore, behold,  I  am  against  the  pro- 
phets, saith  the  Lord,  that  sieal 
my  words  every  one  from  hia 
£74 


neighhottr.  Behold,  I  am  against 
ttie  prophets,  saith  the  Lord,  that 
use  their  tongues,  and  say.  He 
saith.  Behold,  I  am  against  them 
that  prophesy  false  dreams,  saith 
the  Lord,  and  do  tell  them,  and 
cause  my  people  to  err  by  their 
.lies, and  by  their  lightness;  yet  I 
sent  them  not,  nor  commanded 
tliem  :  therefore  they  shall  not 
profit  this  people  at  all,  saith  the 
Lord. 

Jer.  xxviii,  15-17.  Then  said  the 
prophet  Jeremiah  unto  Hananiah 
the  prophet.  Hear  now,  Hananiah; 
Tlie  Lord  hath  not  sent  thee;  but 
thou  makest  this  people  to  trust 
in  a  lie.  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord;  I^ehold,  I  will  cast  thee 
from  off  the  face  of  the  earth:  this 
year  thou  shalt  die,  because  thou 
hast  taught  rebellion  against  the 
Lord.  So  Hananiah  the  prophet 
died  the  same  year,  in  the  seventh 
month. 

Jer.  xxix,  15-17,  20-22,  31.  32. 
Because  ye  have  said,  The  Lord 
hath  raised  us  up  prophets  in 
Babylon;  Know  that  thus  saith 
the  Lord  of  the  king  that  sitteth 
upon  the  throne  of  David,  and  of 
all  tlie  people  that  dwelleth  in  this 
city,  a7id  of  your  brethren  that 
are  not  gone  forth  with  you  into 
captivity;  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts.  Behold,  I  will  send  upon 
them  the  sword,  the  famine,  and 
the  pestilence,  and  will  make 
them  like  vile  figs,  that  cannot  be 
eaten,  they  are  so  evil.  Hear  ye 
therefore  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
all  ye  of  the  captivity,  whom  I 
have  sent  from  Jerusalem  to 
Babylon;  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  Israel,  of  Ahab 
the  son  of  Kolaiah,  and  of  Zede- 
kiah  the  son  ot  Maaseiah,  which 
prophesy  a  lie  unto  you  in  my 
name.  Behold,  I  will  deliver  them 
into  the  hand  of  Nebuchadrezzar 
king  of  Babylon,  and  he  shall  slay 
thcui  before  your  eye^:  And  of 
them  shall  be  taken  up  a  curse 
by  all  the  captivity  of  Judah 
which  are  in  Babylon,  saying,  The 
Lord  make  thee  like  Zedekiah, 
and  like  Ahab,  whom  the  king  of 
Babylon  roasted  in  the  fire.  Send 
to  ail  them  ol  the  captivity,  say- 
ing. Thus  saith  the  LohD  concern- 
ing Shemaiah  the  Nehelamite, 
Because  that  Shemaiah  hath  pro- 
phesied unto  you,  and  I  sent  him 
not,  and  he  caused  you  to  trust  in 
a  lie;  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Behold,  1  will  punish  She- 
maiah the  Nehelamite,  and  his 
seed:  he  shall  not  have  a  man  to 
dwell  among  this  people;  neither 
shall  he  behold  the  good  that  I 
will  do  for  my  people,  saith  the 
LoBo;  because  he  hath  taught 
rebellion  against  the  Lord. 

Eze/c.  xiii,  2,  3  8, 9.  Son  of  man, 
propliesy  ugainst  the  prophet.-  of 
Israel  that  prophesy,  and  say  thou 


onto  them  that  prophesy  otit  of 
their  own  hearts,  He:ir  ye  the 
word  of  tlie  Lord:  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  VVoo  unto  the  foolish 
prophets,  that  follow  their  own 
spirit,  and  have  seen  nothing! 
Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  Because  ye  have  spoken 
vanity,  and  seen  lies,  therefore, 
behold,  I  am  against  you,  saith 
the  Lord  God.  And  mine  hand 
shall  be  upon  the  prophets  that 
see  vanity,  and  that  divine  lies: 
they  shall  not  be  in  the  assembly 
of  my  people,  neither  shall  they 
be  written  in  the  writing-  of  the 
house  of  Israel,  neither  shall  they 
entfer  into  the  land  of  Israel;  and 
ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord 
God 

Micah  11,  11.  It  a  man,  walkmg 
!n  the  spirit  and  falsehood,  dt.  lie, 
mying,  I  will  prophesy  unto  thee 
ot  wine  and  of  strong  drink:  he 
shall  even  be  the  prophet  of  this 
people.

cast  out  in  the  streets  of  Jerusa- 
lem because  of  the  famine  and 
the  sword;  and  they  shall  have 
none  to  bury  them;  them,  their 
wives,  nor  their  sons,  nor  their 
daughters:  for  I  will  pour  their 
wickedness  upon  them 

Ezek.  xii,  15.  And  they  shall 
know  that  1  am  the  Lord,  when  I 
scatter  tliem  among  the  nations, 
and  disperse  them  in  the  coun- 
tries. 

Ezek.  xifi.  23.  Therefore  ye  shall 
see  no  more  vanity,  nor  divine 
divinations:  for  I  will  deliver  my 
people  out  of  your  hand:  and  ye 
shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

Ezek.  xiv,  10, 11.  And  they  shall 
bear  the  punishment  of  their 
iniquity:  the  punishment  of  the 
prophet  shall  be  even  as  the  pun- 
ishment of  him  that  seeketh 
unto  him,  That  the  house  of 
Israel  may  go  no  more  astray 
from  me,  neither  be  polluted  any

sioufii  but  that  they  ma;  be  mj

Micah  iii,  5-7.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  concerning  the  prophets 
that  make  my  people  err,  that 
hite  with  their  teeth,  and  cry. 
Peace;  and  he  that  pulteth  not 
into  their  mouths,  they  even  pre- 
pare war  against  him:  Therefore 
night  shall  be  unto  you,  that  ye 
.'•hall  not  have  a  vision;  and  it 
shall  be  dark  unto  you,  that  ye 
shall  not  divine:  and  the  sun  shall 
go  down  over  the  prophets,  and 
the  day  shall  t)e  dark  over  them. 
Then  shall  the  seers  be  ashamed, 
and  the  diviners  confounded;  yea, 
they  shall  all  cover  their  lips:  for 
there  is  no  answer  of  God. 

Zech.  xiii,  4,  5.  And  It  shall 
come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  the 
prophets  shall  be  ashamed  every 
one  of  his  vision,  when  he  hath 
prophesied ;  neither  shall  they 
wear  a  rough  garment  to  deceive: 
But  he  shall  i^ay,  I  am  no  prophet,

Gen.  xxxi,  29.  It  ia  In  the 
power  of  my  haml  to  do  you  hurt: 
but  the  God  of  your  father  spake 
unto  me  yesternight,  saying.  Take 
thou  heed  that  thou  speak  not  to 
Jacob  either  good  or  bad. 

Gm.  xlv,  5-8.  Now  therefore  be 
not  grieved  nor  angry  with 
yourselves  that  ye  sold  me 
hitlier;  for  God  did  send  rae 
before  you  to  preserve  life.  For 
these  two  years  hath  the  famine 
l)tm  in  the  land:  and  yet  there  are 
five  years,  in  the  which  there  shall 
neither  be  earing  nor  harvest. 
And  (xod  sent  me  before  you  to 
preserve  you  a  posterity  in  tlie 
earth,  and  to  save  your  lives  by  a 
great  deliverance.  SiO  now,  if  ztjas 
not  you  that  sent  me  hitlier,  but 
God:  and  he  hath  madu  me  a 
father  to  Pharaoh,  and  lord  of  all

all  the  land  of  Egypt. 

Gen.  1, 19,  20.  And  Joseph  said 
unio  them,  Fear  not:  lor  am  I  in

God  meant  it  unto  good,  to  bring 
to  pass,  as  it  is  tlds  day,  to  save 
much  people  alive. 

1  Sam.  XXV,  29.  Yet  a  man  is

Eccles.  iii,  1-9.  To  every  thing

A  time  to  be  born,  and  a  time  to

pluck  up  that  wliich  is  planted: 
A  time  to  kill,  and  a  time  to  heah

Isa.  X,  5-7.  O  Assyrian,  the  rod 
of  mine  anger,  and  the  staff  in

I  will  send  him  against  an  liypo-

him  a  charge,  to  take  the  spoil, 
and  to  take  the  prey,  and  to  tread 
them  down  like  the  mire  of  the 
streets.  Ilowbeit  he  meaneth  not 
so,  neither  doth  his  heart  think 
so;  but  it  is  in  his  heart  to  de- 
stroy and  cut  off  nations  not  a

Jer.  X,  23.  O  Lord,  I  know  that

despised,  hath  God  chosen,  yea, 
and  things  which  are  not,  to  bring 
to  nought  things  that  are:  That 
no  flesh  should  glory  in  his  pre- 
sence. 

1  Cor.  ii,  7,  8.  But  we  speak  the 
wisdom  of  God  in  a  mystery,  even 
the  hidden  wisdom,  which  God  or- 
dained before  the  world  unto  our 
glory;  Wliich  none  of  the  princes 
of  this  world  knew:  for  had  they 
known  it,  they  would  not  have 
crucified  the  Lord  of  glory. 

Eph.  i,  4-6,  10-12.  According  as 
he  hath  chosen  us  in  him  before 
the  foundation  of  the  world,  that 
we  should  be  holy  and  without 
blame  before  him  in  love:  Having 
predestinated  us  unto  the  adop- 
tion of  children  by  Jesus  Christ  to 
himself,  according  to  the  good 
pleasure  of  his  will,  To  the  praise 
of  the  glory  of  his  grace,  wherein 
be  hath  made  us  accepted  in  the 
Beloved:  That  in  the  dispensation 
of  the  fulness  of  times,  he  might 
gather  together  in  one  all  things 
la  Christ,  both  which  ore  in  he^

Ten,  and  which  are  on  earth,  even 
In'him:  In  whom  also  we  have  ob- 
tained an  inheritance,  bein^  pre- 
destinated according  to  the  pur- 
pose of  him  who  worketh  ali 
things  after  the  counsel  of  his  own 
will;  That  we  should  be  to  the 
praise  of  liis  glory,  who  first  trust- 
ed in  Christ. 

Eph.  ii,  10.  For  we  are  his  work- 
manship, created  in  Christ  Jesns 
unto  good  works,  which  God  hath 
before  ordained  that  we  should 
walk  in  them. 

Eph.  iii,  10,  11,  To  the  intent 
that  now,  unto  the  principalities 
and  powers  in  heavenly  places, 
might  be  known  by  the  church 
the  manifold  wisdom  of  Goti,  Ac- 
cording to  the  eternal  purpose 
which  he  purposed  in  Christ  Jesus 
our  Lord. 

Phil.  Iv,  3.  And  I  entreat  thee 
also,  true  yoke-fellow,  help  those 
women  which  laboured  with  me 
in  the  gospel,  with  Clement  also, 
and  loith  other  my  fellow-la- 
bourers, whose  names  are  in  the 
book  of  life. 

2  Tim.  1,  9.  Who  hath  saved  us, 
and  called  us  with  an  holy  calling: 
not  according  to  our  works,  but 
according  to  his  own  purpose  and 
grace,  which  was  given  us  in 
Christ  Jesus  before  the  world  be- 
gan. 

2  Tim.  ii,  10.  Therefore  I  endure 
all  things  for  the  elect's  sakes, 
that  they  may  also  obtain  the  sal- 
vation wliich  is  in  Christ  Jesus 
with  eternal  glory. 

Titus  1,  1.  Paul,  a  servant  of 
God,  and  an  apostle  of  Jesus 
Christ,  according  to  the  faith  of 
God's  elect,  and  the  acknowledg- 
ing of  the  truth  which  is  after  god- 
liness. 

1  Pet.  1  2.  Elect  according  to  the 
foreknowledge  of  God  the  Father, 
tliroughsanctiflcation  of  the  Spirit,

the  blood  of  Jesus  Christ:  Grace 
unto  you,  and  peace,  be  multiplied. 

Eev.  xiii,  8.  And  all  that  dwell 
upon  the  earth  shall  worship  him, 
whose  names  are  not  written  in 
the  book  of  life  of  the  Lamb  slain 
from  the  foundation  of  the  world, 

Eev.  XX,  15.  And  whosoever  was 
not  found  written  in  the  book  of 
life  was  cast  into  the  lake  of  fire.

no  wise  enter  into  it  anything 
that  deflletl),  neither  whatsoever

a  lie;  but  they  which  are  written

The  Divine  Rejectioit. 

JDeut.  xxix,  4.  Yet  the  Lord 
hath  not  given  you  an  heart  to 
perceive,  and  eyes  to  see,  and 
ears  to  hear,  unto  this  day. 

1  Sam.  ii,  25.  If  one  man  ein 


against  another,  the  judge  shall 
judge  him;  but  if  a  man  sin  against 
the  LoKD,  who  shall  entreat  for 
him?  Notwithstanding  they 
hearkened  not  unto  the  voice  of 
their  father,  because  the  Loed 
would  slay  them. 

2  Sam.  xxlv,  1.  And  again  the 
anger  of  the  Lokd  was  kindled 
against  Israel,  and  he  moved 
David  against  them  to  say,  Go, 
number  Israel  and  Judah. 

Job  xvii,  4.  For  thou  hast  hid 
their  heart  from  understanding: 
therefore  shall  tliou  not  exalt 
them. 

Isa.  vi,  9, 10.  And  he  said,  Go, 
and  tell  this  people.  Hear  ye  in- 
deed, but  understand  not;  and  see 
ye  indeed,  but  perceive  not. 
Make  the  heart  of  this  people  fat, 
and  make  their  ears  heavy,  and 
shut  their  eyes;  lest  they  see  with 
their  eyes,  and  hear  with  their 
ears,  and  understand  with  their 
heart,  and  convert,  and  be  healed. 

Isa.  xxix,  10.  For  the  L*oed  hath 
poured  out  upon  you  the  spirit  of 
deep  sleep,  and  hath  closed  your 
eyes:  the  prophets  and  your 
rulers,  the  seers  hath  he  covered. 

Isa.  xliv,  18.  They-  have  not 
known  nor  understood:  for  he 
hath  shut  their  eyes,  that  they 
cannot  see;  and  their  hearts,  that 
they  cannot  understand. 

Jer.  vi,  21,  22,  30.  Therefore 
thus  saith  the  Lokd,  Behold,  I 
will  lay  the  stumblingblocks  be- 
fore this  people,  and  the  fathers 
and  the  sons  together  shall  fall 
upon  them;  the  neighbour  and 
his  friend  shall  perish.  Tims 
saith  the  Lord,  Behold,  a  people 
Cometh  from  the  north  country, 
and  a  great  nation  shall  be  raised 
from  the  sides  of  the  earth.  Re- 
probate silver  shall  men  call  them, 
because  the  Loan  hath  rejected 
them. 

John  vi,  65,  66.  And  he  said, 
Therefore  said  I  unto  you,  that 
no  man  can  come  unto  me,  except 
it  were  given  unto  him  of  my 
Father.  From  that  time  many  of 
his  disciples  went  back,  and  walk- 
ed no  more  with  him. 

John  xvii,  12.  While  I  was  with 
them  in  the  world,  I  kept  them  in 
thy  name:  those  that  thou  gavest 
me  I  have  kept,  and  none  of  them 
is  lost,  but  the  son  of  perdition; 
that  the  scripture  might  be  ful- 
filled. 

liom.  ix,  22.  What  if  God,  will- 
ing to  show  his  wrath,  and  to 
make  his  power  known,  endured 
with  much  long-suffering  the 
vessels  of  wrath  fitted  to  destruc- 
tion. 

Horn,  xi,  7.  What  then?  Israel 
hath  not  obtained  that  which  he 
seeketh  for;  but  the  election  hatli 
579 


obtained  It,  and   the  rest  yrere 

blinded. 

2  Cor.  iv,  3.  But  if  our  gospel  be 
hid,  it  is  hid  to  them  that  are  lost. 

2  Tim.  ill,  8,  9.  Now  as  Jannes 
and  Jarabres  withstood  Moses,  so 
do  these  also  resist  the  truth: 
men  of  corrupt  minds,  reprobate 
concerning  the  faith.  But  they 
shall  proceed  no  further:  for  their 
folly  shall  be  manifest  unto  all 
me7i,  as  theirs  also  was. 


Ps.  Ixxxi,  11, 12.  But  my  people 
would  not  hearken  to  my  voice; 
and  Israel  would  none  of  me.  So 
I  gave  them  up  unto  their  own 
hearts'  lust;  and  tiiey  walked  in 
their  own  counsels. 

Prov.  V,  22,  23.  His  own  iniqui- 
ties shall  take  the  wicked  himself, 
and  he  shall  be  holden  with  the 
cords  of  his  sins.  He  shall  die 
without  instruction;  and  in  the 
greatness  of  his  folly  he  shall  go 
astray. 

Isa.  Ixiii,  17.  O  Lord,  why  hast 
thou  made  us  to  err  from  thy 
ways,  and  hardened  our  heart 
from  thy  fear?  Return  for  thy 
servants'  sake,  the  tribes  of  thine 
inheritance. 

Isa.  Ixvi,  4,  5.  I  also  will  choose 
their  delusions,  and  will  bring 
their  fears  upon  them;  because 
when  I  called,  none  did  answer;, 
when  I  spake,  they  did  not  hear: 
but  they  did  evil  before  mine 
eyes,  and  choose  that  in  which  I 
delighted  not.  Hear  the  word  of 
the  Lord,  ye  that  tremble  at  his 
word;  Your  brethren  that  hated 
you,  that  cast  you  out  for  my 
name's  sake,  said,  Let  the  Louix 
be  glorified:  but  he  shall  appear 
to  your  joy,  and  they  shall  be 
ashamed. 

EzeJc.  XX,  24-23.  Because  they 
had  not  executed  my  judgments, 
but  had  despised  my  statutes,  and 
had  polluted  my  sabbaths,  and 
their  eyes  were  after  their  fathers' 
idols.  Wherefore  I  gave  them 
also  statutes  that  toere  not  good, 
and  judgments  wherehy  they 
should  not  live:  And  I  polluted 
them  in  their  own  gifts,  in  that 
they  caused  to  pass  through  the 
fire  all  that  openeth  the  womb, 
that  1  might  make  them  desolate, 
to  the  end  that  they  might  know 
that  I  am  the  Lord. 

2  Cor.  xiii,  6-7.  Examine  your- 
selves whether  ye  be  in  the  faith; 
prove  your  own  selves:  know  ye 
not  your  own  selves,  how  that 
Jesus  Christ  is  in  you,  except  ye 
be  reprobates?  But  I  trust  that 
ye  shall  know  that  we  are  not 
reprobates.  Now  I  pray  to  God 
that  ye  do  no  evil;  not  that  we 
should  appear  approved,  but  that 
ye  should  do  that  which  is  honest, 
though  we  be  as  reprobates. 


PROVIDENCE. 


2  Thess.  if,  II,  12.  And  for  this 
cause  God  shall  send  tliern  strong 
delusion,  that  they  should  believe 
a  lie:  That  they  all  might  be 
damned  who  believed  not  the 
truth,  but  had  pleasure  in  un- 
righteousness. 

1  Feter  ii,  8.  And  a  stone  of 
stumbling,  and  a  rock  of  ofl'ence, 
even  to  them  which  stumble  at 
the  word,  being  disobedient; 
whereuuto  also  they  were  aj)- 
pointed. 

Jude  4.  For  there  are  certain 
men  crept  in  unawares,  who  were 
before  of  old  ordained  to  this  con- 
demnation, ungodly  men,  turning 
the  grace  of  our  God  into  luscivi- 
ousncss,  and  denying  the  only 
Lord  God,  and  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ. 

iLLUSTEATIONa. 

Gen.  XXV,  22,  23.  And  the  chil- 
dren struggled  together  witliin 
her:  and  she  said,  If  it  be  so,  why 
am  I  thus?  And  she  went  to  en- 
qviire  of  the  Lord.  And  the 
Lord  said  unto  her,  Two  nations 
are  in  tliy  womb,  and  two  manner 
ot  people  shall  be  separated  Irom 
thy  bowels;  and  the  one  people 
ehall  be  stronger  than  tfie  other 
people;  and  the  elder  shall  serve 
the  younger. 

1  Kings  xix,  18.  Yet  I  have  left 
me  seven  thousand  in  Israel,  all 
the  knees  which  have  not  bowed 
unto  liaal,and  every  mouth  which 
hath  not  kissed  him. 

Isa.  J,  9.  Except  the  Lord  of 
hosts  liad  left  unto  us  a  very  small 
remnant,  we  should  have  been  as 
Sodom,  and  we  should  have  been 
like  unto  Gomorrah. 

Isa.  X,  22,  23.  For  though  thy 
people  Israel  be  as  the  sand  of 
the  isea,  yet  a  remnant  of  them 
shall  return:  the  consumption 
decreed  shall  overflow  with  right- 
eousness. For  the  Lord  God  of 
hosts  shall  make  a  consumption, 
even  determined,  in  the  midst  of 
all  the  land. 

Jer.  xvili,  2-6.  Arise,  and  go 
down  to  the  potter's  house;  and 
there  I  will  cause  thee  to  hear 
my  words.  Then  I  went  down 
to  the  potter's  house;  and,  be- 
hold, he  wrought  a  work  on  the 
wheels.  And  tlie  vessel  that  he 
made  of  clay  was  marred  in  the 
band  of  tlie  potter:  so  he  made  it 
again  another  vessel,  as  seemed 
good  to  the  potter  to  make  it. 
Then  the  word  of  the  Loed  came 
to  me,  saj'ing,  O  house  of  Israel, 
cannot  I  do  with  you  as  this 
potter?  salth  the  Lord.  Behold, 
as  the  clay  is  in  the  potter's  hand, 
80  are  ye  in  mine  hand,  O  house 
of  IsrauL 

Eom.  Iz,  27-29.  Esaias  also 
crieth  concerning  Israel,  Though 


the  number  of  the  children  of 
Israel  be  as  the  sand  of  the  sea,  a 
remnant  shall  be  saved:  For  he 
will  finish  the  work,  and  cut  it 
short  in  righteousness;  because  a 
short  work  will  the  Lord  make 
upon  the  earth.  And  as  Esaias 
said  before,  Except  the  Lord  of 
Sabaoth  had  left  us  a  seed,  we  had 
been  as  Sodoma,  and  been  made 
like  unto  Goraorrha. 

Horn,  xi,  4-6.  But  what  saith 
the  answer  of  God  unto  him?  I 
have  reserved  to  myself  seven 
thousand  men,  who  have  not 
bowed  the  knee  to  the  image  of 
Baal.  Even  so  then  at  tliis  pre- 
sent time  also  there  is  a  remnant 
according  to  the  election  of  grace. 
And  if  by  grace,  then  is  it  no 
more  of  works;  otherwise  grace  is 
no  more  grace.  But  if  it  be  of 
works,  then  is  it  no  more  grace; 
otherwise  work  is  no  more  work. 

2  Tim.  ii,  20.  But  in  a  great 
house  there  are  not  only  vessels 
ofgold'and  of  silver,  but  also  of 
wood  and  of  earth;  and  some  to 
honour,  and  some  to  dishonour. 


Exod.  iv,  21.  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  Muses,  When  thou 
goest  to  return  into  Egypt,  see 
that  thou  do  all  those  wonders 
before  Pharaoh  which  I  have  put 
in  thlue  hand:  but  I  will  harden 
his  heart,  that  he  shall  not  let  the 
people  go. 

Exod.  vii,  3,  4.  13.  And  I  will 
harden  Pharaoh's  heart,  and 
multiply  my  signs  and  my  won- 
ders in  the  land  of  Egypt.  But 
Pharaoh  shall  not  hearken  unto 
you,  that  I  may  lay  my  hand  upon 
Egypt,  and  bring  fortli  mine 
armies,  and  my  people  tlie  chil- 
dren of  Israel,  out  of  the  land  of 
Egypt  by  great  judgments.  And 
he  hardened  Pharaoh's  heart, 
that  he  hearkened  not  unto  them; 
as  the  Lord  had  said. 

Exod.  ix,  12, 16.  And  the  Lokd 
hardened  the  heart  of  Pliaraoh, 
and  he  hearkened  not  unto  them; 
as  the  Lord  had  spoken  unto 
Moses.  And  in  very  deed  for 
this  cause  have  I  raised  thee  up, 
for  to  show  in  thee  my  power; 
and  that  my  name  may  be  de- 
clared throughout  all  the  earth. 

Exod.  X,  1,  20,  27.  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  Mo.>ies,  Go  in  unto 
Pharaoh:  for  I  have  hardened  his 
heart,  and  the  heart  of  his  ser- 
vants, that  I  might  show  these  my 
signs  before  him.  But  the  Lord 
hardened  Pharaoh's  heart,  so 
that  he  would  not  let  the  chil- 
dren  of  Israel  go.  But  the  Lord 
hardened  Pharaoh's  heart,  and  he 
would  not  let  them  go. 

Exod.  xi,  9,  10.  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  Moses,  Pharaoh  shall 
not  hearken  unto  you;  that  my 


wonders  m.ay  be  muKIpHed  in  the 
land  of  Egypt.  And  Moses  and 
Aaron  did  all  these  wonders 
before  Pharaoh:  and  the  Lord 
hardened  Pharaoh's  heart,  so  tlial 
he  would  not  let  the  children  of 
Israel  go  out  of  his  land. 

Exod.  xlv,  4,  8,  17.  And  I  will 
harden  Pharaoli's  heart,  that  he 
shall  follow  after  them;  and  I  will 
be  honoured  upon  Pliaraoh,  and 
upon  all  his  host;  that  the  Egyp- 
tians may  know  that  I  am  the 
Lord.  And  they  did  so.  And 
the  Lord  hardened  the  heart  of 
Pharaoh  king  of  Egypt,  and  he 
pursued  alter  the  children  of 
Israel:  and  the  children  of  Israel 
went  out  with  an  high  hand. 
And  I,  behold,  I  will  harden  the 
hearts  of  the  Egyptians,  and  they 
shall  follow  them:  and  I  will  get 
me  honour  upon  Pharaoh,  and 
upon  all  his  host,  upon  his 
chariots,  and  upon  his  horsemen. 

Fs.  cv,  25.  He  turned  their 
heart  to  hate  his  people,  to  deal 
subtilely  with  his  servants. 

Eom.  ix,  17, 18.  For  the  scripture 
saith  unto  Pharaoli,  Even  tor  this 
same  purpose  have  I  raised  thee 
up,  tliat  1  might  shew  my  power 
in  thee,  and  tiiat  my  name  might 
be  declared  throughout  all  the 
earth.  Therefore  hath  he  mercy 
on  whom  he  will  have  mercy,  and 
wiiom  he  will  he  hardeneth. 


MEANS  AND  END,

return,  even  the  remnant  of 
Jacob,  unto  the  mighty  God. 

Jer.  xxxi,  3.  The  Lord  hath

Acts  ii,  39.  For  the  promise  is

shall  call. 

Acts  xiii,  38,  39.  Be  it  known 
unto  you  therefore,  men  and 
brethren,  that  through  this  man 
is  preaclied  unto  you  the  forgive- 
ness of  sins:  And  by  him  ail  that 
believe  are  justified  Irora  all 
things,  from  wliich  ye  could  not 
be  justified  by  the  law  of  Moses. 

Acts  xviii,  9,  10.  Then  spake 
the  l-.ord  to  Paul  in  the  night  by 
a  vision.  Be  not  afraid,  but  speak, 
and  hold  not  thy  peace:  For  I  am 
with  thee,  and  no  man  shall  set 
on  thee  to  hurt  thee;  for  I  have 
much  people  in  this  city. 

Acts  xxvii,  21-26,  30,  31.  But, 
after  long  abstinence,  Paul  stood 
forth  in  the  midst  of  them,  and 
said,  Sirs,  ye  sliould  have  hear- 
kened unto  me,  and  not  have 
loosed  from  Crete,  and  to  have 


gained  this  harm  anfl  loss.  And 
now  I  exUort  you  to  be  of  good 
cheer;  for  there  shall  be  no  loss 
of  any  man's  life  among  you,  but 
of  the  ship.  For  there  stood  by 
me  this  night  the  angel  of  God, 
whose  I  am  and  whom  I  serve, 
Saying,  Fear  not,  Paul;  thou  must 
be  brought  before  Cesar:  and,  lo, 
God  hath  given  thee  all  them  that 
sail  with  tliee.  Wherefore,  sirs, 
be  of  good  cheer:  for  I  believe 
God,  that  it  shall  be  even  as  it 
was  told  me.  Ilowbeit  we  must 
be  cast  upon  a  certain  island. 
And  as  the  shipinen  were  about 
to  flee  out  of  tli'^  ship,  when  tliey 
had  let  down  tho  l)oat  into  the 
sea,  under  colour  as  tliough  they 
would  have  cast  anchors  out  ot

Except  these  abide  in  the  ship, 
ye  cannot  be  saved.

that  all  things  work  together  tor 
good  to  them  that  love  God,  to 
them  who  are  the  -called  accord-

did  foreknow,  he  also  did  predes- 
tinate to  be  conformed  to  the 
image  of  his  Son,  that  he  miglit 
be  the  first-born  among  many 
brethren.  Moreover,  whom  he

called;  and  whom  he  called,  them 
he  also  justified;  and  whom  he 
justified,  them  he  also  glorified. 

Gal.  i,  14--16.  And  profited  in 
the  Jews'  religion  above  many 
my  equals  in  mine  own  nation, 
being  more  exceedingly  zealous 
of  the  traditions  of  my  fatliers. 
But  when  it  pleased  God,  who 
separated  me  from  my  mother's 
womb,  and  called  me  by  his

Fhil.  ii,  13.  For  it  is  God  which 
worketh  in  you  both  to  will  and 
to  do  of  his  good  pleasure. 

1  TJiess.  i,  3-5.  Remembering 
without  ceasing  your  work  of 
faith,  and  labour  of  love,  and 
patience  of  hope  in  our  Lord 
JesusChrist,  in  the  sight  of  God 
and  our  Father;  Knowing,  breth-

For  our  gospel  came  not  unto 
you  in  word  only,  but  also  in 
power,  and  in  the  Holy  Ghost, 
and  in  much  assurance;  as  ye 
know  what  manner  of  men  we 
were  among  you  for  your  sake. 

2  Thess.  ii,  13,  14.  But  we  are 
bound  to  give  thanks  alway  to 
God  for  you,  brethren,  beloved  of 
the  Lord,  because  God  iiath  froni

Whereunlo  he  called  you  by  our 
gospel,  to  the  obtaining  ot  the

De^ii.  xxix,  29.  The  secret 
things  belong  unto  the  Lokd  onr 
God:  but  those  things  which  are 
revealed  belong  unto  us  and  to 
our  children  for  ever,  that  we 
may  do  all  the  words  of  this  law. 


Phtl.W,  12.  Wherefore,  my  be- 
loved, as  ye  have  always  obeyed, 
not  as  in  my  presence  only,  but 
now  much  more  in  my  absence, 
work  out  your  own  salvation  with 
fear  and  trembling. 

2  Tim.  ii,  19.  Nevertheless  the 
foundation  of  God  standeth  sure, 
having  this  seal,  The  Lord  know- 
eth  them  that  are  his.  And,  let 
every  one  that  nameth  the  name 
of  Christ  depart  from  iniquity. 

2  Pet.  1,  10,  11.  Wherefore  the 
rather,  brethren,  give  diligence  to 
make  your  calling  and  election 
sure:  for  if  you  do  these  things  ye 
shall  never  fall:  For  so  an  entrance 
shall  be  ministered  unto  you  abun-

Matt,  xl,  25-27.  At  that  time  Je- 
sus answered  and  said,  I  thank 
thee,  O  father.  Lord  of  heaven  and 
earth,  because  thou  hast  hid  these 
things  from  the  wise  and  prudent, 
and  hast  revealed  them  unto  babes. 
Even  80,  Father;  for  so  it  seemed 
good  in  thy  sight.  All  things  are 
delivered  unto  me  of  my  Father: 
and  no  man  knoweth  the  Son  but 
the  Father;  neither  knoweth  any 
man  the  Father,  save  the  Son,  and 
he  to  whomsoever  the  Sou  will 
reveal  him. 

Luke  X,  20, 21.  Notwithstanding, 
in  this  rejoice  not,  that  the  ?pwit8  ! 
are  subject  unto  you;  but  rather 
rejoice,  because  your  names  are 
written  in  heaven.  In  that  hour 
Jesus  rejoiced  in  spirit,  and  said,  I 
thank  thee,  O  Father,  Lord  ot 
heaven  and  earth,  that  thou  hast 
hid  thesQ  things  from  the  wise 
and  prudent,  and  hast  revealed 
them  unto  babes:  even  so.  Father; 
tor  so  it  seemed  good  in  thy  sight. 
Rom.  viii,  31.  What  shall  we 
then  say  to  these  things  ?  It  God 
be  fur  us,  who  can  be  against  us? 

1  John  iv,  19-21.  We  love  him, 
because  he  first  loved  us.  If  a 
man  say,  1  love  God,  and  hateth 
his  brother,  he  is  a  liai":  for  he 
that  loveth  not  his  brother  whom 
he  hath  seen,  how  can  he  love 
God  whom  he  hath  not  seen? 
And  this  commandment  have  we 
from  him.  That  he  who  loveth 
God  love  his    brother  also.

his  will?  Nay  but,  O  man,  who 
art  thou  that  repliest  against  God? 
Shall  the  thing  formed  say  to 
him  that  formed  it.  Why  hast 
thou  made  me  thus?  Hath  not 
the  potter  power  over  the  clay,  of 
the  same  lump  to  make  one  vessel

1  Cor.  iv,  7.  For  who  maketh 
thee  to  differ  from  another  f  and 
what  hast  thou  that  thou  didst

ye,  buv  and  eat ;  yea,  come,  buy

Jer.  xxvi,  3.  If  so  be  they  will 
hearken,  and  turn  every  man  from 
his  evil  way,  that  I  may  repent 
me  of  the  evil  wliich  I  purpose  to 
do  unto  them  because  ot  the  evil 
of  their  doings. 

Ezek.  xviii,  23, 24. 31. 32.  Have  I 
any  pleasure  at  all  that  the  wicked  . 
should  die?  saith  the  Lord  God; 
and  not  that  he  should  return 
from  his  ways,  and  live?  But 
when  the  righteous  tnrneth  away 
from  his  righteousness,  and  com- 
mitteth  iniquity,  and  doeth  ac- 
cording to  all  the  abominations 
that  t!ie  wicked  man  doeth,  shall 
he  live?  AH  his  righteousness  that 
he  hath  done  shall  not  bo  men- 
tioned: in  his  trespass  that  he  hath 
trespassed,  in  his  sin  that  he  has 
sinned,  in  them  shall  he  die.  Cast 
away  from  you  all  your  transgres- 
sions, whereby  ye  have  trans- 
gressed; and  make  you  a  new 
heart  and  a  new  spirit:  for  why 
will  you  die,  O  house  ot  Israel? 
For  I  have  no  pleasure  in  the 
death  of  him  who  dieth,  saith  the 
Lord  God:  wherefore  turn  your-

Ezek.  xxxiii,  10-16.  Therefore, 
O  thou  sun  of  man.  speak  unto  the

saith  the  Lord  Goo,  I  have  no

of  his  transg:ression :  as  for  the 
wickedness  of  tlie  wicked,  he  shall 
not  fall  thereby  in  the  day  that  he 
turneth  from  his  wickedness; 
neither  shall  the  righteous  he  able 
to  live  for  Ids  righteousness  in  the

shall  say  to  the  rlj^hteoua,  that  he

iniquity,  all  his  righteousness 
shall  not  be  remembered ;  but  for 
his  iniquity  that  he  hath  com- 
mitted, he  shall  die  for  it.  Again, 
when  I  say  unto  tlie  wicked,  Thou 
Bhalt  surely  die;  if  he  turn  from 
his  sin,  and  do  that  which  is  law- 
ful and  riglit;  If  the  wicked  re- 
store the  idedge,  give  again  that 
he  had  robbed,  walk  in  the  sta- 
tutes of  life,  without  committing 
iniquity;  he  shall  surely  live,  lie 
shall  not  die.  None  of  liis  sins 
that  he  hath  committed  shall  be

that  which  is  lawful  and  right;  he 
shall  surely  live.

Matth.  xviii,  11, 14.  For  the  Son

not  the  will  of  your  Father  which

John  vi,  87,  38.  All  that  the

will  in  no  wise  cast  out.  For  I 
ca-ne  down  from  heaven,  not  to

Deut.xii,  26-2S.  Only  thy  holy 
things  which  thou  hast,  and  thy 
vows,  thou  Shalt  take,  and  go  unto 
the  place  which  the  Loed  shall 
choose.  And  thou  shalt  offer  thy 
burnt-offerings,  the  flesh  and  the 
blood,  upon  the  altar  of  the  Lord 
thy  God:  and  the  blood  of  thy  sa- 
crifices shall  be  poured  out  upon 
the  altar  of  the  Loru  thy  God, 
and  thou  shalt  eat  the  flesh.  Ob- 
serve and  hear  all  these  words 
which  I  command  thee,  that  it 
may  go  well  with  thee,  and  with 
thy  children  after  thee  for  ever, 
when  thou  doest  that  wfiich  is 
good  and  right  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord  thy  God. 

Deut.  XXX,  15, 16, 19, 20.  See,  I  have 
set  before  thee  this  day  life  and 
good,  and  death  and  evil;  In  that 
I  command  thee  this  day  to  love 
the  Lord  thy  God,  to  walk  in  his 
ways,  and  to  keep  his  command- 
ments, and  his  statutes,  and  his 
judgments,  that  thou  mayest  live 
and  multiply:  and  the  Lord  thy 
God  shall  bless  thee  in  the  land 
whither  thou  goest  to  possess  it. 
I  call  heaven  and  earth  to  record 
this  day  against  you,  that  I  have 
set  before  you  life  and  death, bless- 
ing and  cursing:  therefore  clioose 
lite,  that  both  thou  and  thy.  seed 
may  live:  That  thou  mayest  love 
the  Lord  thy  God,  and  that  thou 
mayest  obey  his  voice,  and  that 
thou  mayest  cleave  unto  him;  (for 
he  is  thy  life,  and  the  length  of 
thy  days;)  that  thou  mayest  dwell 
in  the  land  which  the  Lord  sware 
unto  thy  fathers,  to  Abraham,  to 
Isaac,  and  to  Jacob,  to  give  them. 

Fs.  Ixxxi,  13-15.  Oh  that  my 
people  had  hearkened  unto  me, 
and  Israel  had  walked  in  my 
ways!  I  should  soon  have  subdued 
their  enemies,  and  turned  my 
hand  against  their  adversaries. 
Tlie  haters  of  the  Loud  should 
h&ve  submitted  themselves  unto

endured  for  ever. 

Isa.  xlviii,  18.  Oh  that  thou

therelh  her  chickens  under  her

iher.  as  a  hen  doth  gather  her

Exod.  viii,  82.  And  Pharaoh 
hardened  his  heart  at  this  time 
also,  neither  would  he  let  the

Exod.  ix,  34,  35.  And  when  Pha- 
raoh saw  that  the  rain  and  the  hail 
and  the  thunders  were  ceased,  he 
sinned  yet  more  and  hardened  his 
heart,  he  and  his  servants.  And 
the  heart  of  Pharaoh  was  harden- 
ed, neither  would  he  let  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  go;  as  the  Lord  had 
spoken  by  Moses. 

1  Sam.  vi,  6.  Wherefore  then 
do  ye  harden  your  hearts,  as  the 
Egyptians  and  Pharaoh  hardened 
their  hearts?  when  he  had  wrought 
wonderfully  among  them,  did  they 
not  let  the  people  go,  and  they  de- 
parted? 

4th.  THE  DIVINE  SOVE- 
REIGNTY IN  PROVIDENCE. 

1  Sam.  ii,  4-10.  The  hows  of  the 
mighty  men  are  broken,  and  they 
that  stumbled  are  girded  with 
strength.  They  that  were  full  have 
hired  cmt  themselves  for  bread; 
and  they  that  loere  hungry  ceased: 
so  that  the  barren  hath  born  seven; 
and  she  that  hath  many  children 
is  waxed  feeble.  The  Lord  kill- 
eth,  and  maketh  alive:  he  bring- 
eth  down  to  the  grave,  and  bring- 
eth  up.  The  Loi;d  maketh  poor, 
and  maketh  rich:  he  bringeth  low, 
and  lifteth  up.  He  will  keep  the 
feet  of  his  saints,  and  the  wicked 
shall  be  silent  in  darkness;  for  by 
strength  shall  no  man  prevail. 
The  advers  iries  of  the  Lord  shall 
be  broken  to  pieces;  out  of  heaven 
shall  he  ttiunder  upon  them:  the 
LoRo  shall  judge  the  ends  of  the 
earth;  and  he  shall  give  strength 
unto  his  King,  and  exalt  the  horn 
of  his  anointed. 

Job  V,  18.  For  he  maketh  sore, 
and  bindeth  up;  he  woundeth,  and 
his  hands  make  whole. 

Job  xxix,  2-4.  Oh  that  I  were  as 
in  months  past,  as  in  the  days 
when  God  preserved  me;  Wlien 
his  candle  shined  upon  my  head, 
and  when  by  his  liglit  I  walked 
through  darkness;  As  I  was  in  the 
days  of  my  youth,  when  the  secret

Job  xxxiv,  24.  He  shall  break  In

Bhalt  increase  my  greatness,  and

Ps.  ci,  1.  I  will  sing  of  mercy 
and  judgment:  unto  thee,  O  Lord, 
will  I  sing. 

Ps.  cii.  10.  Because  of  thine  in-

hast,  lilted  me  up,  and  cast  me 
down. 

Isa,  xix,  22.  And  the  Lord  shall 
smite  Egypt;  he  shall  smite  and 
heal  it:  aiid  they  shall  return  even 
to  the  Lord,  and  he  shall  be  en- 
treated of  them  and  shall  heal 
them. 

Jer.  xxil,  21,  22.  I  spake  unto 
thee  in  thy  prosperity;  but  tiiou 
BaiUst,  I  will  not  hear:  this  hath 
been  thy  manner  from  thy  youth, 
that  thou  obeyedst  not  my  voice. 
Q'he  wind  shall  eat  up  all  tl)y  pas- 
tors and  thy  lovers  shall  go  into 
captiviry:  surely  then  shalt  thou 
he  ashamed  and  confounded  for 
all  thy  wickedness. 

Ezek.  XXXV,  14, 15.  Thus  salth  the 
Lord  Goo,  When  the  whole  earth 
rf^joiceth,  I  will  make  thee  deso- 
late. As  thou  didst  rejoice  at  the 
inheritance  of  the  house  of  Israel, 
because  it  was  desohite,  so  will  I 
do  unto  thee;  thou  shalt  be  deso- 
late, O  mount  Seir,  and  all  Idu- 
mea,  even  all  of  it;  and  they  shall 
know  that  I  a?/i  the  Lord. 

Luke  i,  52,53.  He  hath  put  down 
the  mighty  from  their  seats,  and 
exalted  them  of  low  degree.  He 
hath  tilled  the  hungry  with  guod 
things;  and  the  rich  he  hath  sent 
away  empty. 

John  xvi,  20.  Verily,  verily,  I  say 
onto  you,  Tiiat  ye  shall  weep  and 
lament,  but  the  world  shall  re- 
joice; and  ye  shall  be  sorrowful, 
but  your  sorrow  shall  be  turned 
into  joy. 

Often  apparently  Indis-

Job  ix,  22,  23.  This  is  one  thing, 
therefore  I  said  it.  He  destroyetli 
the  perfect  and  tlie  wicked.  If 
the  scourge  slay  suddenly,  he 
will  laugh  at  the  trial  of  the  inno- 
cent. 

Eccles.  vii,  15.  All  things  have  I 
seen  in  tlie  days  of  my  vanity: 
there  is  a  just  man  that  perislieth 
in  his  righteousness,  and  there  is 
a  wicked  man  th;<t  prolongeih  his 
life  in  his  wickedness. 

h'ccles.  viii,  14  There  is  a  vanity 
which  is  done  upon  the  eartli; 
that  there  be  just  men.  unto  whom 
it  happeneth  according  to  the 
work  of  the  wicked:  agaiu,  there 


be  wicked  men,  to  whom  It  hap- 
peneth according  to  the  work  of 
the  righteous.  I  said,  that  this 
also  is  vanity. 

Eccles.  Ix,  1-3. 11.  For  all  this  I 
considered  in  my  heart,  even  to 
declare  all  this,  tliat  the  righteous, 
and  the  wise,  and  their  works,  are 
in  the  hand  of  God:  no  man  know- 
eth  either  love  or  hatred  by  all 
that  is  before  them.  All  things 
come  alike  to  all:  there  is  one 
event  to  the  righteous  and  to  the 
wicked;  to  the  good,  and  to  the 
clean,  and  to  the  unclean;  to  hiin 
that  sacrificeth,  and  to  him  that 
sacriflceth  not:  as  is  the  good,  so 
is  the  sinner;  and  he  that  swear- 
eth,  as  he  tliat  feareth  an  oath. 
This  is  an  evil  among  all  things 
that  are  done  under  the  sun,  that 
there  is  one  event  unto  all:  yea, 
also,  the  heart  of  the  sons  of  men 
is  full  of  evil,  and  madness  is  in 
their  heart  while  they  live,  and 
after  that  they  go  to  the  dead. 
I  returned,  and  saw  under  the 
sun,  that  the  race  is  not  to  the 
swift,  nor  the  battle  to  the  strong, 
neither  yet  bread  to  the  wise,  nor 
yet  riches  to  men  of  understand- 
ing, nor  yet  favour  to  men  of 
skill;  but  time  and  chance  hap- 
peneth to  them  all. 

Ezek.  xxi,  2-5.  Son  of  man,  set 
thy  fijce  toward  Jerusalem,  and 
drop  thy  v:ord  toward  the  holy 
places,  and  prophesy  against  the 
land  of  Israel,  And  say  to  the 
laud  of  Israel,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord;  Behold,  I  am  against  thee, 
and  will  draw  forth  my  sword  out 
of  his  sheath,  and  will  cut  off  from 
thee  the  righteous  and  the  wick- 
ed. Seeing  then  that  I  will  cut 
off  from  thee  the  righteous  and 
the  wicked,  therefore  shall  my 
sword  go  forth  out  of  his  sheath 
against  all  flesli  from  the  south  to 
the  north;  That  all  flesh  may 
know  that  I  the  Lord  have  drawn 
forth  my  sword  out  of  his  sheath: 
it  shall  not  return  any  more. 

And  Mysterious. 

Job  ix,  24.  The  earth  is  given 
into  the  hand  of  the  wicked ;  he 
covereth  the  faces  of  the  judges 
thereof;  if  not,  where,  and  who  is 
he? 

Job  xii,  6.  The  tabernacles  of 
robbers  pro-sper,  and  they  that 
provoke  God  are  secure ;  into 
whose  hand  God  briugeth  abun- 
dantly. 

Job  xxii,  18.  Yet  he  filled  their 
houses  with  good  things:  but  the 
counsel  of  the  wicked  is  far  from 
me. 

Ps.  Ixxiii,  5-8, 12.  They  are  not  in 
trouble  as  other  mexi;  neither  are 
they  plagued  like  otiier  men. 
Therefore  pride  compasseth  them 
about  as  a  chain;  violence  cover- 
eth them  as  a  garment.  Their 
eyes  stand  out  with  fatness:  they 
6S3 


have  more  than  heart  could  wish. 
They  are  corrupt,  and  speak 
wickedly  concerning  oppression: 
they  speak  lottily.  Behold,  these 
are  the  ungodly,  who  prosper  in 
the  world;  they  increase  in  riches. 

Abraham  offering  up  Isaac. 

Gen.  xxii,  1-17,  20-22.  And  it 
came  to  pass  after  these  things, 
that  God  did  tempt  Abraham,  and 
said  unto  him,  Abraham.  And  he 
said.  Behold,  here  I  am.  And  he 
said,  Take  now  thy  son,  thine 
only  son  Isaac,  whom  thou  lovest, 
and  get  thee  into  the  land  of  Mo- 
riah;  and  offer  him  there  for  a 
burnt-offering  upon  one  of  the 
mountains  which  I  will  tell  thee 
of.  And  Abraham  rose  up  early 
in  the  morning,  and  saddled  hLs 
ass,  and  took  two  of  his  young 
men  with  him,  and  Isaac  his  son, 
and  clave  the  wood  for  the  burnt- 
offering,  and  rose  up,  and  went 
unto  the  place  of  which  God  had 
told  him.  Then  on  the  third  day 
Abraham  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and 
saw  the  place  afar  off.  And  Ab- 
raham said  unto  his  young  men, 
Abide  ye  here  with  the  ass;  and  I 
and  the  lad  will  go  yonder  and 
worship,  and  come  again  to  you. 
And  Abraham  took  the  wood  of 
the  burnt  -  offering,  and  laid  it 
upon  Isaac  his  son;  and  he  took 
the  fire  in  his  hand,  and  a  knife; 
and  they  went  both  of  them  to- 
gether. And  Isaac  spake  unto 
Abraham  his  father,  and  said,  My 
father:  and  lie  said.  Here  am  I, 
my  son.  And  he  said.  Behold  the 
lire  and  the  wood ;  but  where  is 
the  lamb  for  a  burnt  -  offering? 
And  Abraham  said,  My  son,  God 
will  provide  himself  a  lamb  for  a 
burnt-offering:  so  they  went  both 
of  them  together.  And  they  came 
to  the  place  which  God  had  told 
him  of;  and  Abraham  built  an 
altar  there,  and  laid  the  wood  in 
order,  and  bound  Isaac  his  son, 
and  laid  him  on  the  altar  upon  the 
wood.  And  Abraham  stretched 
forth  his  hand,  and  took  the  knife 
to  slay  his  son.  And  the  angel 
of  the  Lord  called  unto  him  out 
of  heaven,  and  said,  Abraham,  Ab- 
raham. And  he  said.  Here  am  I. 
And  he  said,  I^ay  not  thine  hand 
upon  the  lad,  neither  do  thou  any 
thing  unto  him:  for  now  1  know 
that  thou  fearest  God,  seeing  that 
thou  liast  not  withheld  thy  son, 
thine  only  son,  from  me.  And 
Abraham  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and 
looked,  and,  behold,  behind  fdm  a 
ram  caught  in  a  thicket  by  j^is 
horns:  and  Abraham  went  and 
took  the  ram,  and  offered  him  up 
for  a  burnt-ofiering  in  the  stead 
of  his  son.  And  Abraham  called 
the  name  of  the  place  Jehovah- 
jireh:  as  it  is  said  to  this  day,  in 
the  mount  of  the  Lord  it  shall  be 
seen.    And  the  angel  of  the  Lob© 


PROVIDENCE. 


called  nnto  Abraham  ont  of  heaven 
the  second  time.  And  said,  By 
myself  have  I  sworn,  saith  the 
Loed;  for  because  thou  hast  done 
this  thing,  and  hast  not  withheld 
thy  son,  tliine  only  son;  that  in 
blessing  I  will  bless  thee,  and  in 
multiplying  I  will  multiply  thy 
seed  as  the  stars  of  the  heaven, 
and  as  the  sand  which  is  upon 
the  sea  -  shore ;  and  thy  seed 
shall  possess  the  gate  of  his  ene- 
mies. And  it  came  to  pass  after 
these  things,  that  it  was  told  A- 
braham,  saying.  Behold,  Milcah, 
She  hath  also  born  cliiUiren  unto 
thy  brother  Nahor  ;  lluz  his  first- 
born, and  Biiz  his  biotlier,  and 
Kemuel  the  lather  of  Aram,  And 
Chesed,  and  Hazo,  and  Pildash, 
and  Jidlaph,  and  Bethuel. 

Pbovidencb  Sometimes  Exalts. 

1  Sam.  ii,  8.  He  raiseth  up  the 
poor  out  of  the  dust,  and  Jifteth 
up  the  beggar  from  the  dunghill, 
to  set  them  among  princes,  and 
to  make  them  inherit  the  throne 
of  glory:  for  the  pillars  of  tlie 
earth  are  the  Lord's,  and  he  hath 
set  the  world  upon  tliem. 

Job  viii,  7.  Though  thy  be- 
ginning was  small,  yet  thy  latter 
end  should  greatly  increase. 

Ps.  cxiii,  7-9.  He  raiseth  up  the 
poor  out  of  the  dust,  and  lif'teth 
the  needy  out  of  the  dunglull; 
That  he  may  SKi  him  witli  princis, 
even  with  the  princes  ot  his  peo- 
ple. He  malieth  the  barren 
w(jman  to  keep  house,  and  to  be  a, 
joytul  mother  of  children.  Praise 
ye  the  Lobu. 

1  Sam  XV,  17.  And  Samuel  said, 
When  ihou  wast  little  in  thine 
own  sight,  ivast  thou  not  made 
the  head  of  tlie  tribes  of  Israel, 
and  the  Lord  anointed  tliee  king 
over  Israel? 

2  Sam.  vii.  8,  9  Now  therefore 
80  sliaU  tliou  say  unto  my  ser- 
vant David,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
ot  hosts,  I  took  thee  from  tne 
sheep-cote,  from  following  the 
sheep,  to  be  ruler  over  my  peo- 
ple, over  Israel:  And  1  was  witti 
tlieo  wtuthersoever  thou  neatest, 
and  have  cut  off  all  tliine  enemies 
out  ot  thy  sight,  and  have  made 
thee  a  great  name,  like  unto  tlie 
name  ot  the  great  7/ieu  that  are 
in  the  earth, 

2  Sain.  xii,7,8. . .  Thussalth  the 
Loud  God  of  Israel,  1  anointed 
thee  king  over  Israel,  and  1  de- 
livered tliee  out  of  the  hand  of 
Saul.  And  I  gave  thee  thy  mas- 
ter's bouse,  and  thy  master's 
wives  into  thy  bosom,  and  gave 
thee  the  house  of  Isiael  and 
ot  .ludah;  and  if  that  had  been  loo 
litlle,  I  would  moreover  have 
given  uDto  thee  sucli  and  such 
tLiu^s. 


1  Qhron.  xvii,  7,  8.  Now  there- 
fore thus  shalt  thou  say  unto  my 
servant  David,  Thus  saith  tlie 
Lord  of  hosts,  I  took  thee  from 
the  sheep-cote,  even  from  follow- 
ing the  slieep,  that  thou  shouldest 
be  ruler  over  my  people  Israel; 
And  I  have  been  with  thee 
whithersoever  thou  hast  walked, 
and  have  cut  off  all  thine  enemies 
from  before  thee,  and  have  maile 
thee  a  name  lilie  the  name  of  the 
great  men  that  are  in  the  earth. 

And  Sometimes  Depresses. 

Job  xix,  9.  He  hath  stripped  me 
of  my  glory,  and  taken  the  crown 
frotn  my  head. 

Fs.  Ixxxix,  44.  45.  Thou  hast 
made  his  glory  to  cease,  and  cast 
bis  throne  down  to  the  ground. 
The  days  of  his  youth  hast  tliou 
shortened:  thou  hast  covered  him 
with  shame.    Selah. 

Ps.  cvl,  43.  Many  times  did  he 
deliver  them;  but  they  provoked 
hhn  with  their  connsel,  and  were 
brought  low  for  their  iniquity. 

Ps.  evil,  39.  Again  they  are 
minished  and  broughtlow  through 
oppression,  aflliction,  and  sorrow. 

Isa.  xiv,  16,  17.  They  that  see 
thee  shall  narrowly  look  upon 
thee,  and  consider  thee,  saying.  Is 
this  tlie  man  that  made  the  earth 
to  tremble,  that  did  sliaUe  king- 
doms; Tliat  made  the  world  as  a 
wilderness,  and  destroyed  the 
cities  th'-reof;  that  opened  not  the 
house  of  his  prisoners? 

Isa.  xxil,  15-19.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  of  hosts,  Go,  get  thee 
unto  this  treasurer,  ecen  unto 
Shehna,  which  is  over  the  house, 
and  say,  What  hast  thou  here? 
and  whom  hast  thou  here,  that 
thou  hast  hewed  thee  out  a 
sepulchre  here,  as  he  that  heweth 
him  out  a  sepulchre  on  high,  and 
that  graveth  an  habitation  for 
himself  in  a  rock?  IJehold,  the 
Loud  will  carry  thee  away  with  a 
mighty  captivity,  and  will  surely 
cover  thee.  He  will  surely 
violenlly  turn  and  toss  tliee  like  a 
ball  into  a  large  couniry:  there 
Shalt  thou  die,  and  there  the 
chariots  of  thy  glory  shall  be  the 
sliamo  ot  thy  lord's  house.  And 
1  will  drive  thee  from  thy  station, 
and  from  tliy  state  shall  he  pull 
thee  down. 

Jer.  xlvlil,  10-12.  Cursed  be  he 
that  (loeili  the  work  ot  the  Loud 
deceitfully,  and  cursed  be  lie  that 
keepeth  back  his  sword  from 
blood.  Moab  hath  been  at  ease 
from  his  youth,  and  he  b  ith 
settled  on  his  lees,  and  hath  not 
been  emptied  from  vessel  to 
vessel,  litdther  bath  he  gone  Into 
captivity;  therefore  his  taste  re- 
mained in  him,  and  his  scent  is 
not  clianged.  Therefore,  behold, 
the  days  come,  saith  tho  Loai>, 
684 


that  I  will  send  unto  htm  wander- 
ers, that  shall  cause  him  to  wan- 
der,  and  shall  empty  his  vessels, 
and  break  their  bottles. 

Lam.  iii,  17.  And  thou  hast  re- 
moved my  soul  far  off  from  peace: 
I  forgat  prospv^rity. 

Lam.  iv,  5.  They  that  did  feed 
delicately  are  desolate  in  tlie 
streets,  they  that  were  brought 
up  in  scarlet,  embrace  dunghills. 

Dan.  xi,  19.  Then  he  shall  turn 
his  face  toward  the  fort  ol  his  own 
land:  but  he  shall  stumble,  and 
fall,  and  not  be  found 

Bev.  xviii,  14.  And  the  fruits 
that  thy  soul  lusted  after  are 
departed  from  thee,  and  all  things 
wliich  were  daitity  and  goodly 
are  departed  from  thee,  and  thou 
Shalt  find  them  no  more  at  all. 

BoT  Still  it  is  Just. 

Job  V,  3.  I  have  seen  the  foolish 
taking  root:  but  suddenly  I  cursed 
his  habitation. 

Jo&xxiv,  22,  23.  He  draweth 
also  the  mighty  with  his  power; 
he  riseth  up,  and  no  man  is  sure 
of  life:  Though  it  be  given  him  to 
be  in  safety  whereon  he  resteth, 
yet  his  eyes  are  upon  their  ways. 

Ps.  xxxvii,  34-36.  Wait  on  the 
LoRo,  and  keep  his  way,  and  he 
shall  exalt  tiiee  to  inherit  the 
land:  when  the  wicked  are  cut  olf, 
thou  shalt  see  it.  1  have  seen  the 
wicked  in  great  power,  and 
spreading  him.-elf  like  a  green 
bay-tree:  Yet  he  passed  away, 
and,  lo,  he  was  not;  yea,  I  sought 
him,  but  he  could  not  be  found. 

Ps.  Lx.xiii,  16-20.  When  I 
thought  to  know  this,  it  was  too 
painful  for  me.  Until  I  went  into 
the  sanctuary  ot  God;  then  under- 
stood 1  their  end.  Suiely  thou 
didst  set  them  in  slippery  places: 
thou  castedst  them  down  into 
destruction.  How  are  they 
brought  into  desolation,  as  in  a 
moment!  they  are  utterly  con- 
sumed with  terrors.  As  a  dream 
when  one  awaketh;  so,  O  Lord, 
when  thou  awakest,  thou  shalt 
despise  their  image. 

Ps.  xcii,  6,  7.  A  brutish  man 
knoweth  not;  neither  doth  a  fool 
understand  this.  When  the 
wicked  spiing  as  the  gras.s,  and 
when  all  the  workers  of  iniquity 
do  flourish;  it  is  that  they  shall  be 
destroyed  lor  ever. 

Eccles.  viil,  11-13.  Because  sen- 
tence against  an  evil  work  is  not 
executed  speedily,  therefore  the 
heart  of  the  sons  of  men  is  fully 
set  in  them  to  do  evil.  Though 
a  sinner  do  evil  an  hundred  times, 
and  his  d"ys  be  prolonged,  yet 
surely  I  know  that  it  shall  be 
well  with  them  that  fear  God, 
which  tear  before  him:  But  it 
Shall  not  be  well  with  the  wicked. 


neither  shall  he  prolong  hfs  days, 
which  are  as  a  shadow;  because 
be  feareth  not  before  God. 

Fob  God  13  Govebnob  and 
Judge. 

1  Chron.  xvl,  14, 15.  He  is  the 
LoKD  our  God;  his  judgments  are 
in  ail  the  earth.  Be  ye  mindful 
always  of  his  covenant,  the  word 
which  he  commanded  to  a  thou- 
eand  generations. 

Job  xxi,  22.  Shall  any  teach  God 
knowledge?  seeing  he  judgeth 
those  that  are  high. 

Job  xxiii,  7.  There  the  righteous 
might  dispute  witli  him;  so  should 
I  be  delivered  for  ever  from  my 
judge. 

Fs.  vil,  8.  The  Lord  shall  judge 
the  people:  judge  me,  O  Loud, 
according  to  my  righteousness, 
and  according  to  mine  integrity 
that  is  in  me. 
I  Fs.  ix.  8.   And  he  shall  Judge 

the  world  in  righteousness,  he 
shall  minister  judgment  to  the 
people  in  uprightness. 

Fs.  1,  4,  6.  He  shall  call  to  the 
heavens  from  above,  and  to  the 
earth,  that  he  may  judge  his 
people.  And  the  heavens  shall 
declare  his  righteousness:  for  God 
is  judge  himself.    Selah. 

MYSTERIES  IN  PROVIDENCE. 

Job  xxi,  6-9  Even  when  I  re- 
member 1  am  afraid,  and  tremb- 
ling talceth  hold  on  my  flesh. 
Wherefore  do  the  vviclied  live, 
become  old,  yea,  are  mighty  In 
powei?  Tlieir  seed  is  established 
in  their  sight  with  them,  and  their 
offspring  before  their  eyes.  Their 
houses  are  safe  from  fear,  neither 
is  the  rod  of  God  upon  tiiem. 

Job  xxiv,  12.  Men  groan  from 
out  of  the  city,  and  the  soul  of  the 
wounded  crieth  out;  yet  God 
layeth  not  folly  to  them. 

Fs.  lxxiii,2-4, 13-15.  But  as  for 
me,  my  feet  were  almost  gone; 
my  steps  had  well  nigh  slipped. 
For  I  was  envious  at  the  foolish, 
when  I  saw  the  prosperity  of  tiie 
•wicked.  For  there  are  no  bands 
in  their  death;  but  their  strength 
is  film.  Verily  I  have  cleansed 
my  heart  in  vain,  and  washed  my 
hands  in  innocency.  For  all  the 
day  long  have  I  been  plagued, 
and  chastened  every  morning. 
If  I  say,  I  will  ppeak  Uius;  behold, 
I  should  off<n(t  against  the  gener- 
ation of  tljy  cliilaren. 

Jer.  xii,  1,  2.  lligliteous  art 
thou,  O  Lord,  when  1  plead  wiih 
thei--;  1/et  let  me  talk  with  thee  of 
thy  judgmtnts:  Wherefore  doth 
the  way  of  the  wicked  prosper? 
Wherefore  are  all  they  happy  that 
deal  very  treticherouslj?  Thou 
hast  planted  tlnin;  yea,  they  have 
taken  root:  they  grow;  they  bring 


PROVIDENCE. 

forth  fruit:  thou  art  near  In  their 
mouth,  aud  far  from  their  reins. 

Hab.  i,  3,  4,  13,  17.  Why  dost 
thou  shew  me  iniquity,  and  cause 
me  to  behold  grievance?  for  spoil- 
ing and  violence  are  before  me: 
and  there  are  that  raise  up  strife 
and  contention.  Therefore  the 
law  is  slaclied,  and  judgment  doth 
never  go  forth:  for  the  wicked 
doth  compass  about  the  righteous; 
therefore  wrong  judgment  pro- 
ceedeth.  Thou  art  of  purer  eyes 
than  to  behold  evil,  and  canst  not 
look  on  iniquity:  Mherefore  look- 
est  thou  upon  them  that  deal 
treacherously,  and  hofdest  thy 
tongue  when  the  wicked  devour- 
eth  the  man  that  is  more  right- 
eous than  he?  Shall  they  therefore 
empty  their  net,  and  not  spare 
continually  to  slay  the  nations? 

Mai  ii,  17.  Ye  have  wearied  the 
Lord  with  your  words:  yet  ye 
say.  Wherein  have  we  wearied 
M)a9  When  ye  say,  Every  one 
that  doeth  evil  is  good  in  the  sight 
of  the  Lord,  and  he  delighteth  in 
them;  or,  Where  is  the  God  of 
judgment? 

Mai.  ili,  15.  And  now  we  call 
the  proud  happy;  yea,  they  that 
work  wickedness  are  set  up;  yea; 
they  that  tempt  God  are  even  de- 
livered.

Exod.  viii,  22,  23.  And  I  will 
sever  in    that    day  the  land    of 
Goshen,    in     which    my    people 
dwell,   that   no   swarms  of  flies 
shall  be  there;  to  the  end  thou 
mayest  know  that  I  am  the  Lord 
in  the  midst  of  the  eai  th.    And  I 
will  put  a  division  between  my 
people  and  thy  people:  to-morrow 
shall  this  sign  be. 

Exod.  ix,  4-7,  26.  And  the  Lord 
shall  sever  bf^tween  thecatlle  of 
Israel  and  the  cattle  of  Egypt: 
and  there  shall  nothing  die  of  all 
that  is  the  children's  of  Israel. 
And  the  Lord  appointed  a  set 
time,  saying,  To-moirovv  the  Lord 
shall  do  this  thing  in  the  Imd. 
And  the  Lord  did  that  thing  on 
the  morrow,  and  all  the  cattle  of 
Egypt  died:  but  of  the  cattle  of 
the  children  of  Israel  died  not 
one.  And  Pharaoh  sent,  and, 
behold,  there  was  not  one  of  the 
cattle  of  the  Ipraelifes  dead.  And 
the  lieart  ot  Fliaraoh  was  harden- 
ed, and  he  did  not,  let  the  people 
go.  Only  in  the  land  of  Goshen, 
I  where  the  children  of  Israel  were, 
was  there  no  hail. 

Exod.  xi,  7.  But  against  any  of 
the  children  of  Israel  shall  not  a 
dog  move  his  tongue,  against  man 
or  beast;  tliat  ye  may  know  iiow 
that  the  Lobo  doth  put  a  diller-

CTice  T)etween  the  Egyptians  and

Num.  xiv,  34, 35.  After  the  num- 
ber of  the  days  in  which  ye 
searched  the  land,  even  forty 
days,  (each  day  for  a  year.)  shall 
ye  bear  your  iniquities,  even  forty 
years;  and  ye  shall  know  my 
breach  of  promise.  I  the  Lord 
have  said,  I  will  surely  do  it  unto 
all  this  evil  congregation,  that  are 
gathered  together  against  me:  in 
this  wilderness  they  shall  be  con- 
sumed, and  there  they  shall  die. 

Job  XV,  31.  Let  not  him  that  is 
deceived  trust  in  vanity;  for

have  drawn  out  the  sword,  and 
have  bent  their  bow,  to  cast  down 
the  poor  aud  needy,  and  to  slay 
such  as  be  of  upright  conversa-

famine  was  throughout  all  the 
land;  But  unto  none  of  them  was 
Elias  sent,  save  unto  Sarepta,  a 
City  of  Sidon,  unto  a  woman  that 
was  a  widow.  And  many  lepers 
were  in  Israel  in  the  time  of

them  was  cleansed,  saving

ten  kings,  having  their  thumbs 
and  their  great  toes  cut  off,  ga- 
thered their  meat  under  my  table: 
as  I  have  done,  so  God  hath  re- 
quited me.  And  they  brought  him

Judges  ix,  55-57.  And  when  the 
men  of  Israel  saw  that  Abimelech 
was  dead,  they  departed  every 
man  unto  his  place.  Thus  God 
rendered  the  wickedness  of  Abi- 
melech, which  he  did  unto  his  fa- 
ther, in  slaying  his  seventy  bre- 
thren; And  all  the  evil  of  the  men

Jerubbaal.

The  Reason.

vant Caleb,  because  he  had  another 
spirit  with  him,  and  hath  followed 
me  fully,  him  will  I  bring  into  the 
land  whe.-reunto  he  went;  and  his 
seed  shall  possess  it.  Doubtless 
ye  shall  not  cume  into  the  land 


concerning  which  I  sware  to  make 
you  dwell  tlierein,  save  Caleb  the 
son  of  Jephunneh,  and  Joshua  the 
son  of  Nun.  And  the  men  which 
Moses  sent  to  search  the  land,  who 
returned,  and  made  all  the  con- 
gregation to  murmur  against  him, 
by  bringing  jip  a  slander  upon  the 
land.  Even  those  men,  that  did 
bring  up  the  evil  report  upon  the 
land,  died  by  the  plague  before 
the  LoK0.  But  Joshua  the  son  of 
Nun,  and  Caleb  the  son  of  Je- 
phunneh, which  were  of  the  men 
that  went  to  search  the  land,  lived 
still.  And  Moses  told  these  say- 
ings unto  all  the  children  of  Israel: 
and  the  people  mourned  greatly. 

Num.  xxvi,  63-65.  These  are 
they  that  were  numbered  by

there  was  not  a  man  of  them 
whom  Moses  and  Aaron  the  priest 
numbered,  when  they  numbered 
the  children  of  Israel  in  the  wil- 
derness of  Sinai.  For  the  Lord 
had  said  of  them.  They  shall  surely 
die  in  the  wilderness.  And  there 
was  not  left  a  man  of  them,  save 
Caleb  the  son  of  Jephunneh,  and 
Joshua  the  son  of  Nun. 

Deut.  iv,  3,  4.  Your  eyes  have 
seen  what  the  Lord  did  because 
of  Baal-peor:  for  all  the  men  that 
followed  Baal-peor,  the  Loan  thy 
God  hath  destroyed  them  from 
among  you.  But  ye  that  did  cleave 
unto  the  Lord  your  God  are  alive 
every  one  of  you  this  day. 

2  Sam.  xxii,  26-28.  With  the  mer- 
ciful thou  wilt  shew  thyself  mer- 
ciful; and  with  the  upright  man 
thou  wilt  shew  thyself  upright. 
With  the  pure  thou  wilt  shew  thy- 
self pure;  and  with  the  froward 
thou  wilt  show  thyself  unsavoury. 
And  the  afflicted  people  thou  wilt 
save:  but  ttiine  eyes  are  upon  the 
haughty,  tha^  thou  mayest  bring 
them  down. 

Fs.  xviii,  25-27.  With  the  mer- 
ciful thou  wilt  shew  thyself  merci- 
ful; with  an  upright  man  thou  wilt 
shew  thyself  upright;  With  the 
pure  thou  wilt  shew  thyself  pure; 
and  with  the  froward  thou  wilt 
shew  thyself  froward.  For  thou 
wilt  save  the  afllicted  people;  but 
wilt  bring  down  high  looks. 

Ps.  xxxvii,  17.  For  the  arras  of 
the  wicked  shall  be  broken:  but 
the  Loed  upholdeth  the  righteous. 

Ps.  xci,  7-9.  A  thousand  shall 
fall  at  thy  side,  and  ten  thousand 
at  thy  right  hand;  but  it  shall  not 
come  nigh  thee.  Only  with  thine 
eyes  shalt  thou  behold  and  see  the 
reward  of  the  wicked.  Because 
thou  hast  made  the  Lord  which  is 
my  refuge,  even  the  Most  High, 
thy  habitation. 

Prov.  xiv,  2.  He  that  walketh  In 


h!g  uprightness  feareth  the  Lord: 
but  he  that  is  perverse  in  his  ways 
despiseth  him.

froward  and  strange:  but  as  for 
the  pure,  his  work  is  right.

when  no  man  pursueth:  but  the 
righteous  are  bold  as  a  lion.

sion of  an  evil  man  there  is  a  snare: 
but  the  righteous  doth  sing  and 
rejoice. 

7sa.lxv,13,14.  Therefore  thus  saith 
the  Lord  God,  Behold,  my  servants 
shall  eat,  but  ye  shall  be  hungry: 
behold,  my  servants  shall  drink, 
but  ye  shall  be  thirsty:  behold,  my 
servants  shall  rejoice,  but  ye  shall 
be  ashamed:  Behold,  my  servants 
shall  sing  for  joy  of  heart,  but  ye 
shall  cry  for  sorrow  of  heart,  and 
shall  howl  for  vexation  of  spirit. 

Ezek.  ix,  4-6.  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  him,  Go  through  the  midst  of 
the  city,  through  the  midst  of  Je- 
rusalem, and  set  a  mark  upon  the 
foreheads  of  the  men  that  sigh  and 
that  cry  for  all  the  abominations 
that  be  done  in  the  midst  thereof. 
And  to  the  others  he  said  in  mine 
hearing,  Go  ye  after  him  throngh 
the  city,  and  smite;  let  not  your 
eye  spare,  neither  have  ye  pity: 
Slay  utterly  old  and  young,  both 
maids,  and  little  children,  and 
women;  but  come  not  near  any 
man  upon  whom  is  the  mark;  and 
begin  at  my  sanctuary.  Then 
they  began  at  the  ancient  meu 
which  were  before  the  house. 

2  John  9.  Whosoever  trans- 
gresseth,  and  abideth  not  in  the 
doctrine  of  Christ,  hath  not  God: 
he  that  abideth  in  the  doctrine  of 
Christ,  he  hath  both  the  Father 
and  the  Son. 

CONTRAST  OFTEN  PRE- 
SENTED. 

IH  THE  PRESENT  LIFE. 

2  Chr.  XV,  2.  And  he  went  ont 
to  meet  Asa,  and  said  unto  him. 
Hear  ye  me,  Asa,  and  all  Judah 
and  Benjamin;  The  Lord  is  with 
you,  while  ye  be  with  him;  and  if 
ye  seek  him,  he  will  be  found  of 
you;  but  If  ye  forsake  him,  he  will 
forsake  yon. 

Job  viii,  20-22.  Behold,  God  will 
not  cast  away  a  perfect  man, 
neither  will  he  help  the  evil- 
doers; Till  he  fill  thy  mouth  with 
laughing,  and  thy  lips  with  rejoic- 
ing. They  that  hate  thee  shall  be 
clothed  with  shame;  and  the  dwell- 
ing-place of  the  wicked  shall  come 
to  nought. 

Ps.  i,  6.  For  the  Lord  knoweth 
the  way  of  the  righteous:  but  the 
way  of  the  ungodly  shall  perish. 

Ps,  xxxil,  10, 11.    Many  sorrows 


sMlt  he  to  llie  wIcTced:  but  he  that 
trusteth  in  the  Lord,  uiercy  sball 
compass  him  about.  Be  glad  1q 
the  Lord,  and  rejoice,  ye  right- 
eous; and  shout  for  joy,  all  ye  that 
are  upright  in  heart. 

Prov  Hi,  32.  For  the  froward  is 
abomination  to  the  Lord:  but  his 
secret  is  with  the  righteous. 

Prov.  X,  6, 9,  24,  25,  29,  30.  Bless- 
ings are  upou  the  head  of  the 
just:  but  violence  covereth  the 
mouth  of  the  wicked.  He 
that  walketh  uprightly  walketh 
surely:  but  he  that  perverteth  his 
ways  shall  be  known.  The  fear 
of  the  wicked,  it  shall  come  upon 
him:  but  the  desire  of  the  righte- 
ous shall  be  granted.  As  the 
•whirlwind  passeth,  sots  the  wick- 
ed no  more:  but  the  righteous  is 
an  everlasting  foundation.  The 
way  of  the  Lord  is  strength  to 
the  upright:  but  destruction  shall 
6eto  the  workers  of  iniquity.  The 
righteous  shall  never  be  removed: 
but  the  wicked  shall  not  inhabit 
the  earth. 

Prov.  xi,  3. 5, 6, 10, 11, 19,  20  21,31. 
The  integrity  of  the  upright  shall 
guide  tliem:  but  the  perverseness 
of  transgressors  shall  destroy 
them.  The  righteousness  of  the 
perfect  shall  direct  his  way:  but 
the  wicked  shall  fall  by  his  own 
"Wickedness.  The  rigliteousness  of 
the  upright  shall  deliver  them:  but 
transgressors  shall  be  taken  in 
in  their  own  naughtiness.  When 
it  goeth  well  with  tlie  righteous, 
the  city  rejoiceth;  and  when  the 
wicked  perish,  there  is  shouting. 
By  the  blessing  of  the  upright  the 
city  is  exalted :  but  it  is  over- 
thrown by  the  mouth  of  the 
wicked.  As  righteousness  tendeth 
to  life;  so  lie  that  pursueth  evil, 
pursuetfi  it  to  his  own  death. 
They  that  are  of  a  froward  heart 
are  abomination  to  the  Loud:  but 
such  as  are  upright  in  their  way 
ai'e  his  deliglit.  Though  hand 
join  in  hand,  the  wicked  shall  not 
be  unpunished:  but  the  seed  of 
the  righteous  sliall  be  delivered. 
Behold  the  righteous  shall  be  re- 
compensed in  the  earth;  much 
more  the  wicked  and  the  sinner. 

Prov.  xii,  2,  3, 7,  21.  A  good  man 
obtaiiieth  favour  of  the  Lord:  but 
a  man  of  wicked  devices  will  lie 
condemn.  A  man  shall  not  be  es- 
tablislied  by  wickedness:  but  the 
root  of  the  rigliteous  shall  not  be 
moved.  The  wicked  are  over- 
thrown, and  are  not, :  but  the 
house  of  the  righteous  shall  stand. 
There  shall  no  evil  happen  to  the 
just:  but  the  wicked  shall  be  filled 
with  mischief. 

Prov.  xiii,  6.  13,  21.  Righteous- 
n(  83  keepetli  him  that  is  upright 
in  the  way:  but  wickedness  over- 
throweth  the  sinner.  Whoso  de- 
spiseth  the   word  shall  be   de- 


PEOYIDENCE. 

Btroyed:  but  he  that  feareth  the 
commandment  shall  be  rewarded. 
Evil  pursueth  sinners:  but  to  the 
righteous  good  shall  be  repaid. 

Prov.  xiv,  19,  22,  34.  The  evil 
bow  before  the  good;  and  the 
wicked  at  the  gates  of  the  right- 
eous. Do  they  not  err  that  de- 
vise evil?  but  mercy  and  truth 
shall  be  to  them  that  devise  good. 
Righteousness  exalteth  a  nation : 
but  sin  is  a  reproach  to  any 
people. 

Prov.  XV,  9.  The  way  of  the 
wicked  is  an  abomination  unto  the 
Lord:  but  he  loveth  him  that  fol- 
loweth  after  righteousness. 

Prov.  xix,  16.  He  that  keepeth 
the  commandment  keepeth  his 
own  soul:  but  he  that  despiseth  bis 
ways  shall  die. 

P)-ov.  xxi,  18.  The  wicked  sliall 
be  a  ransom  for  the  righteous, 
and  the  transgressor  for  the  up- 
right. 

Prov.  xxii,  5.  Thorns  and  snares 
are  in  the  way  of  the  froward ;  he 
that  doth  keep  his  soul  shall  be 
far  from  them. 

Prov.  xxviii,  18.  Whoso  walketh 
uprightly  shall  be  saved :  but  he 
that  'is  perverse  in  his  ways  shall 
fall  at  once. 

3Ial.  iii,  17,  18.  And  they  shall 
be  mine,  saitli  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
in  that  day  when  I  make  up  my 
jewels:  and  1  will  spare  them,  as  a 
man  spareth  bis  own  son  that 
serveth  him.  Then  shall  ye  re- 
turn, and  discern  between  the 
righteous  and  the  wicked;  be- 
tween him  that  serveth  God,  and 
him  that  serveth  him  not. 

Mai.  iv,  3.  And  ye  shall  tread 
down  the  wicked  ;  for  they  shall 
be  ashes  under  the  soles  of  your 
leet  in  the  day  that  I  shall  do  this, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

And  fob  ever. 

1  Chron.  xxviii,  9.  And  thou, 
Solomon,  my  son,  know  thou  the 
God  of  thy  father,  and  serve  him 
with  a  perfect  heart,  and  with  a 
willing  mind;  for  the  Lord  search- 
eth  all  hearts,  and  understand- 
eth  all  the  imaginations  of  the 
thoughts :  if  thou  seek  him,  he 
will  be  found  of  thee;  but  if  thou 
forsake  him,  he  will  cast  thee  olT 
for  ever. 

^5.  cxxv,  5.  As  for  such  as  turn 
aside  unto  tlieir  crooked  ways,  the 
Lord  shall  lead  them  forth  with 
the  workers  of  iniquity:  but  peace 
shall  be  upon  Israel. 

Prov.  xiv,  32.  The  wicked  is 
driven  away  in  his  wickedness, 
but  the  righteous  hath  hope  in  his 
death. 

Matth.  XXV,  46.  And  these  shall 
go  away  into  everlasting  panish- 


ment:  but  the  righteous  Into  life 
eternal. 

1  Pet.  iv,  17, 18.  For  the  time  is 
come  that  judgment  must  begin 
at  the  house  of  God :  and  if  it 
first  begin  at  us,  what  shall  the 
end  be  of  them  that  obey  not  the 
gospel  of  God?  And  If  the  righ- 
teous scarcely  be  saved,  where 
shall  the  ungodly  and  the  sinner 
appear? 

5th.  — THE  LOT  IN  ANCIENT 

TIMES  AN  APPEAL  TO

Num.  xxvi,  55, 56.  Notwithstand- 
ing the  land  shall  be  divided  by 
lot :  according  to  the  names  of  the 
tribes  of  tlieir  fathers  they  shall 
inherit.  According  to  the  lot  shall 
the  possession  thereof  be  divided 
between  many  and  few. 

Numb,  xxxiv,  16-29.  And  the 
Lord  spake  unto  Moses,  saying. 
These  are  the  names  of  the  men 
which  shall  divide  the  land  unto 
you:  Eleazar  the  priest,  and  Jo- 
shua the  son  of  Nun.  And  ye  shall 
take  one  prince  of  every  tribe, 
to  divide  the  land  by  inheritance. 
And  tlie  names  of  the  men  are 
these:  Of  the  tribe  of  Judah,  Ca- 
leb the  son  of  Jephunneh.  And 
of  the  tribe  of  the  children  of  Si-

Iriese  are  they  whom  the  Lord 
commanded  to  divide  the  inherit- 
tance  unto  the  children  of  Israel 
in  the  land  of  Canaan. 

Josh,  vii,  14, 16-18.  In  the  morn- 
ing therefore  ye  shall  be  brought 
according  to  your  tribes :  and  it 
shall  b«,  that  the  tribe  which  the 
Lord  takelh  shall  come  according 
to  liie  families  thereof;  and  the 
family  which  the  Lord  shall  take 
shall  come  by  househoUis;  and  the 
household  wiiich  the  Lord  shall 
take  shall  come  man  by  man.  So 
Josliua  rose  up  early  in  the  morn- 
ing, and  brought  Israel  by  their 
tribes;  and  the  tribe  of  Judah 
was  taken.  And  he  brought  tlie

day  rejected  your  God,  \vi>o  him- 
Belt  saved  you  out  of  all  your  ad-

and  ye  have  said  unto  him,  Nay, 
but  set  a  king  over  us.  Now 
thereforepresentyourselvesbefore 
the  Lord  by  your  tribes,  and  by 
your  thousantls.  And  when  Sa-

people  that  answered  him.  Then 
said  he  unto  all  Israel,  Be  ye  on 
one  side,  and  I  and  Jonathan  my 
son  will  be  on  the  other  side.  And 
the  people  said  unto  Saul,  Do 
what  seeinetli  good  unto  thee. 
Therefore  Saul  said  unto  the  Lord 
God  of  Israel,  Give  a  perfect  lot. 
And  Saul  and  Jonathan  were 
taken;  but  the  people  escaped. 
And  Saul  said,  Cast  lots  between 
me  and  Jonathan  my  son.  And 
Jonatlian  was  taken.

Eleazar,  and  ot  the  sons  of  Itha-

us.  So  they  cast  lots,  and  the  lot

saia,  "Wiierefore  now  do  ye  trans- 
gress the  commandment  of  the 
LoBD?  but  it  shall  not  prosper. 
Go  not  up.  for  the  Lobu  is  not 
among  you;  that  ye  be  not  smitten 
before  your  enemies.  For  tlie 
Amalekites  and  the  Canaanites 
are  there  before  you,  and  ye  shall 
fall  by  the  sword:  because  ye  are 
turned  away  from  the  Lord,  there- 
fore the  LoED  will  not  be  with 
you. 

2  Sam.  Hi,  39 The  Lord 

shall  reward  the  doer  of  evil 
according  to  his  wickedness. 

Job  xxf,  28,  29,  31,  32,  34.  For  ye 
Bay,  Where  is  the  house  of  the 
prince?  and  wliere  are  the  dwell- 
ing-places of  the  wicked?  Have 
ye  not  asked  them  that  go  by 
the  way?  and  do  ye  not  know 
their  tokens.  Who  shall  declare 
Lis  way  to  his  face?  and  who  shall 
repay  him  what  he  hath  done?  Yet 
shall  he  be  brought  to  the  grave, 
and  shall  remain  in  the  tomb. 
How  then  comfort  ye  me  in  vain, 
seeing  in  your  answers  there  re- 
maineth  falsehood? 

Job  xxxl,  2.  3.  For  what  portion 
of  God  is  there  from  above?  and 
what  inheritauce  of  the  Almighty 
from  on  high?  Is  not  destruction 
to  the  wicked?  and  a  strange 
punishment  to  the  workers  of 
iniquity? 

Job  xxxiv,  26,  27.  He  striketh 
them  as  wicked  men  in  the  open 
eight  of  others;  Because  they 
turned  back  from  him,  and  would 
not  consider  any  of  his  ways. 

Job  xxxvi,  17.  But  thou  hast 
fulfilled  the  judgment  of  the 
wicked:  judgment  and  justice 
take  hold  on  thee. 

Ps.  1,  4.  The  ungodly  are  not  so: 
but  are  like  the  chaff  which  the 
wind  driveth  away. 

Fs.  i,  5.  Therefore  the  ungodly 
shall  not  stand  in  the  judgment, 
nor  sinners  in  the  congregation  of 
the  righteous. 

Ps.  ix,  16.  The  Lord  is  known 
by  the  judgment  which  he  exe- 
cuteth:  the  wicked  is  snared  in 
the  work  of  his  own  hands.  Hig-

the  LoBD  shall  be  as  the  fat  of 
lambs:  they  shall  consume;  into 
smoke  shall  they  consume  away. 
But  the  transgressors  shall  be  de- 
stroyed togeiliei-;  the  end  of  the

Ps.  Ixviil,  2L  But  God  shall 
wound  the  head  of  his  enemies, 
and  the  hairy  scalp  of  such  an  one 
as  goeth  on  still  in  his  trespasses. 

P9.  Ciix,  118-120.    Thou  hast 


trodden  down  all  them  that  err 
from  thy  statutes:  for  their  deceit 
is  falsehood.  Thou  puttest  away 
all  the  wicked  of  the  earth  like 
dross:  therefore  I  love  thy  testi- 
monies. My  flesh  trembieth  for 
fear  of  thee;  and  I  am  afraid  of 
thy  judgments. 

Prov.  iv,  19.  The  way  of  the 
wicked  is  as  darkness;  they  know 
not  at  what  they  stumble. 

Prov.  xxi,  10-12.  The  soul  of 
the  wicked  desireth  evil:  his 
neighbour  findeth  no  favour  in 
his  eyes.  When  the  scorner  is 
punished,  the  simple  is  made  wise; 
and  when  the  wise  is  instructed, 
he  receiveth  knowledge.  The 
righteous  man  wisely  considereth 
the  house  of  the  wicked:  but  God 
overthroweth  the  wicked  for  their 
wickedness.

whirlwind  of  the  Loud  is  gone

upon  the  head  of  the  wicked.  The 
anger  of  the  Lord  shall  not  return, 
until  he  have  executed,  and  till  he 
have  performed  the  thoughts  of 
his  heart:  in  the  latter  days  ye 
shall  consider  it  perfectly. 

Jer.  XXX,  14, 15,  22,  23.    All  thy 

lovers  have  forgotten  thee;  they 
seek  thee  not:  for  I  have  wounded 
thee  with  the  wound  of  an  enemy, 
with  the  chastisement  of  a  cruel 
one,  for  the  multitude  of  thine  ini- 
quity; because  thy  sins  were  in- 
creased. Why  criest  thou  for 
thine  affliction?  thy  sorrow  is  in- 
curable for  the  multitude  of  thine 
iniquity:  because  thy  sins  were  in- 
creased, I  have  done  these  things 
unto  thee.  And  ye  shall  be  my 
people,  and  I  will  be  your  God. 
Behold,  the  whirlwind  of  the  Lord 
goeth  forth  with  fury,  a  continu- 
ing whirlwind;  it  shall  fall  with 
pain  upon  the  head  of  the  wicked.

Job  xviii,  20, 21.  They  that  come 
after  him  shall  be  aslonled  at  his 
day,  as  they  that  went  before  were

not  God. 

Jer.  xiii,  22.    And  if  thou  say  in

skirts  discovered,  and  thy  heels 
made  bare. 

Ezek.  vii,  3, 4, 8, 9.  Now  is  the  end 
come  upon  thee,  and  I  will  send 
mine  anger  upon  thee,  and  will 
judge  thee  according  to  thy  ways, 
and  will  recompense  upon  thee  all 
thine  abominations.  And  mine 
eye  shall  not  spare  thee,  neither 
will  I  have  pity:  but  I  will  recom- 
pense  thy  ways  upon  thee,  and 
thine  abominations  shall  be  in  the 
midst  of  thee;  and  ye  shall  know 
that  I  am  the  Lord.  Now  will  I 
shortlypourout  my  fury  upim thee, 
and  accomplish  mine  anger  upon 
thee;  and  I  will  judge  thee  accord- 
ing to  thy  ways,  and  will  recom- 
pense thee  for  all  thine  abomina- 
tions. And  mine  eye  shall  not 
spare,  neither  will  I  have  pity:  I 
Avill  recompense  thee  according  to 
thy  ways  and  thine  abominations 
that  are  in  the  midst  of  thee;  and 
ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lobu 
that  smiteth. 

EzeJc.  ix,  10, 11.  And  as  for  me 
also,  mine  eye  shall  not  spare, 
neither  will  1  have  pity,  but  1  will 
recompense  their  way  upon  their 
head.  And,  behold,  the  man 
clothed  with  linen,  which  had  the 
inkhorn  by  his  side,  reported  the 
matter,  saying,  I  have  done  as 
thou  hast  commanded  me. 

Ezek.  xxiv,  13, 14.  In  thy  fllthl- 
ness  is  lewdness:  because  I  have 
purged  thee,  and  thou  wast  not 
purged,  thou  shalt  not  be  purged 
from  thy  filthiness  any  more,  till 
I  have  caused  my  fury  to  rest 
upon  thee.  I  the  Lord  have 
spoken  it;  it  sliall  conie  to  pass, 
and  I  will  doit;  I  will  not  go  back, 
neither  will  I  spare,  neither  will  I 
repent:  according  to  thy  ways, 
and  according  to  thy  doings,  shall 
they  judge  thee,  saith  the  Lord 
God. 

Micah  vl,  16.  For  the  statutes 
of  Omri  are  kept,  and  all  the  works 
of  the  house  of  Ahab,  and  ye  walk 
in  their  counsels;  that  I  should 
make  thee  a  desolation,  and  the 
inhabitants  thereof  an  hissing: 
therefore  ve  shall  bear  the  re- 
proach of  my  people.

these  curses  shall  come  upon  thee, 
and  shall  pursue  thee,  and  over-

b<  cause  thou  hearkenedst  not  unto 
the  voice  of  the  Loud  thy  God,  to 
keep  his  commandments  and  his 
statutes  which  he  commanded 
thee:  And  they  shall  be  upon  thee 
for  a  sign,  and  for  a  wonder,  and 
upon  thy  seed  for  ever.  Because

I  not  of  my  spirit,  that  tbey  may  add 

Bin  to  sin. 

Jer.  xi,  8.  Yet  they  obeyed  not, 
nor  inclined  their  ear,  but  wallied 
every  one  in  the  imagination  nf

before  you,  To  hearken  to  the 
words  of  my  servants  the  pro- 
phets, whom  I  sent  unto  you, 
both  rising  up  early,  and  sending 
them,  but  ye  have  not  hearkened; 
Then  will  I  make  this  house  like 
Shiloh,  and  will  make  this  city  a 
curse  to  all  the  nations  of  the 
earth.  Ho  the  priests  and  the  pro- 
phets, and  all  the  people,  heard 
Jeremiah  speaking  these  words 
in  the  house  of  the  Lobd,

commanded  them;  but  this  people 
hath  not  hearkened  unto  me : 
Therefore,  thus  saith  the  Lord

Behold,  I  will  bring  upon  Judah, 
and  upon  all  the  inhabitants  of

have  made  your  iniquity  to  be 
remembered,  in  that  your  trans-

ment in  the  desert  of  Zin,  in  the 
strife  of  the  congregation,  to  sanc- 
tify me  at  tlie  water  before  their 
eyes:  that  is  the  water  of  Meri-

Belial  shall  be  all  of  them  as

utterly  burned  with  fire  in  the 
same  place. 

Job  iv,  8,  9.  Even  as  I  have  seen

while,  and  the  wicked  shall  not 
be:  yea,  thou  shalt  diligently  con- 
sider his  place,  and  it  shall  not 
be. 

Fs.  Ixii,  8.  How  long  will  ye

ye  sliall  be  slain  all  of  you:  as  a

the  wicked  for  reward,  and  take 
away  the  righteousness  of  the 
righteous  from  him!  Therefore 
as  the  tire  devoureth  the  stubble, 
and  the  flame  consumeth  the 
chaff,  so  their  root  sliall  be  as  rot- 
tenness and  their  blossom  shall  go

THE  CURSE  AND  POWER  OP 

SIN. 

Matth.  xviii,  11.  For  the  Son  of 
man  is  come  to  save  that  which 
jvas  lost. 

Luke  ix,  56.  For  the  Son  of  man 
is  not  come  to  destroy  men's  lives, 
but  to  save  them 

Luke  xix,  10.  For  the  Son  of 
man  i.s  come  to  seek  and  to  save 
that  which  was  lost. 

John  iii,  17.  For  God  sent  not 
his  Son  into  the  world  to  con- 
demn the  world;  but  that  the 
world  through  him  might  be 
saved. 

Actsiv,  12.  Neither  is  there 
salvation  in  any  other:  for  there 
Is  none  other  name  under  heaven 
given  anion.!:?  men  wliereby  we 
must  be  saved. 

Eom.  vi,  18,  22.  Being  then 
made  free  from  sin,  ye  became 
the  servants  of  righteousness. 
But  now  being  made  free  from 
sin,  and  become  servants  to  God, 
ye  have  your  fruit  unto  holiness, 
and  the  end  everlasting  life. 

1  Gor,  i,  30,  31.  But  of  him  are 
ye  in  Christ  Jesus,  who  of  God  is 
made  unto  us  wisdom,  and  right- 
eousness, and  sanctiflcation,  and 
redemption:  That,  according  as  it 
is  written.  He  that  glorieth,  let 
him  glory  in  the  Lord, 

Gal.  i,  4,  Who  gave  himself  for 
our  sins,  that  he  might  deliver  us 
from  this  present  evil  woild, 
according  to  the  will  of  God  and 
our  Father. 

Gal.  iii,  13.  Christ  hath  redeem- 
ed us  from  the  curse  of  the  law, 
being  made  a  curse  for  us;  iar  it  is 
written.  Cursed  is  every  one  that 
hangeth  on  a  tree. 

Gal.  iv,  1.*  Now  I  say.  That  the 
heir,  as  long  as  he  is  a  child, 
dilfereth  nothing  from  a  servant, 
though  he  be  lord  or  all. 

1  Tim.  1,  15.  Tills  is  a  faithful 
saying,  and  worthy  of  all  accep- 
tation, that  Christ  Jesus  came 
into  tlie  world  to  save  sinners;  of 
whom  I  am  chief. 

Titus  ii,  14.  Who  gave  himself 
for  us,  that  he  might  redeem  us 
from  all  iniquity,  and  purify  unto 
himself  a  peculiar  people,  zealous 
of  good  works. 

1  John  iv.  9,14.  In  this  was  mani- 
fested the  love  of  God  toward  us, 
because  that  God  sent  his  only 
begotten  Sou  luto  tlie  wui'ld,  that 


we  might  live  through  him.  And 
we  have  seen,  and  do  testify,  that 
the  Father  sent  tlie  Son  to  be  the 
Saviour  of  the  world.

have  all  Ave  received,  and  grace 
for  grace. 

John  xvil,  13, 19.  And  now  come 
I  to  thee;  and  these  things  I  speak 
in  the  world,  tiiat  they  might 
have  my  joy  fulfilled  in  them- 
selves. And  for  their  sakes  I 
sanctify  myself,  that  they  also 
might  be  sanctified  through  the 
truth. 

1  Gor.  i,  4-6,  30.  I  thank  my 
God  always  on  your  behalf,  for 
the  grace  of  God  which  is  given 
you  by  Jesus  Christ;  That  in  every 
thing  ye  are  enriched  by  him,  iu 
all  utterance,  anii  in  all  know- 
ledge; Even  as  the  testimony  of 
Christ  was  confirmed  in  you:  But 
of  him  are  ye  iu  Christ  Jesus,  who 
of  God  is  made  unto  us  wisdom, 
and  righteousness,  and  sanctiflca- 
tion, and  redemption. 

2  Gor.  xii,  9.  And  he  said  unto 
me.  My  grjce  is  sufficient  for  thee: 
for  my  strengtli  is  made  perfect 
in  weakness.  Most  gladly  there- 
fore will  I  rather  glory  in  my 
infirmities,  that  the  power  of 
Christ  may  rest  upon  me. 

Eph.  iii,  18,  19.  May  be  able  to 
comprehend  with  all  saints  what 
is  the  breadth,  and  lengtli,  and 
depth,  and  height;  And  to  know 
the  lovrt  of  Christ,  which  passeth 
knowledge,  that  ye  miglit  be 
filled  with  all  the  fulness  of  God. 

Fhil.  iv,  13.  I  can  do  all  things

eth  me. 

Col.  ii,  3.  In  whom  are  hid  all

Mediator  and  Intercessor. 

John  xiv,  6.  Jesus  saith  unto 
me,  I  am  the  way,  the  truth,  and 
the  life:  no  man  cometh  unto  the 
Father,  but  by  me. 

Jofm  xvi,  23-27.  And  in  that 
day  ye  shall   no\  me  nothins. 


Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  yon, 
Whatsoever  ye  sliall  ask  the 
Fattier  in  my  name,  he  will  give 
it  you.  Hitherto  have  ye  asked 
nothing  in  ray  name:  ask,  and  ye 
shall  receive,  that  your  joy  may 
he  fuU.  These  things  have  I 
spoken  unto  you  in  proverbs:  but 
the  time  cometh,  when  I  shall  no 
more  speak  unto  you  in  proverbs, 
but  I  shall  shew  you  plainly  of  the 
Father.  At  that  day  ye  shall  ask 
in  my  name:  and  I  say  not  unto 
you,  that  I  will  pray  the  Father 
for  you;  For  the  Fattier  himself 
loveth  you,  because  ye  have  loved 
me,  and  Ijave  belived  that  I  came 
out  from  God. 

John  xvii,  11,  20.  And  now  I  am 
no  more  in  the  world,  but  these 
are  iu  the  world,  and  I  come  to 
tliee.  Holy  Fatlier,  keep  through 
thine  own  name  tliose  wiiom  thou 
hast  given  me,  that,  they  may  be 
one,  as  we  are.  NeiMier  pray  I 
fiir  these  alone,  but  for  them  aiso 
which  shall  believe  on  me  through 
their  word. 

Horn,  viii,  34.  Who  is  he  that

1  Tim.  ii,  5.  For  there  is  one 
God,  and  one  mediator  between 
God  and  men,  the  man  Christ 
Jesus. 

Ileb.  vii,  25.  Wherefore  he  is 
able  also  to  save  tliem  to  the 
uttermost  that  come  unto  God  by 
him,  seeing  he  ever  liveth  to 
make  intercession  lor  them. 

Ileb.  ix,  15,  24.  And  for  this

1  John  ii,  1.  My  little  children, 
these  things  write  I  unto  you 
that  ye  sin  not.  And  if  any  man 
Bin,  we  have  an  advocate  with  the 
Father,  Jesus  Christ  the  right-

John  xiv,  18-20.  I  will  not 
leave  you  comfortles?;  I  will  come 
to  you.  Yet  a  little  while,  and 
the  world  soeth  rae  no  more;  but 
ye  see  me:  because  I  live,  ye  shall 
live  also.  At  that  day  ye  shall 
know  that  I  am  in  my  Father, 
and  ye  in  me,  audi  in  you. 

John  XV,  1,  2,  4,  5.  I  am  the 
true  vine,  and  my  Fathe*  is  the 
husbandman.  Every  branch  in 
mo  that  beareth  not  fruit  he 
taketh  away;  and  every  branch 
thai  beaictli  truit.  he  purgeth  it, 
that  it  may  bring  forth  more  fruit. 
Abide  in  me,  and  I  in  you.  As 
the  branch  cannot  bear  fruit  of 
itself,  except  it  abide  in  the  vine; 
no  more  can  ye,  except  ye  abide 
in  me.  I  am  the  vine,  ye  are  tlie 
branches:  he  that  abideth  in  me, 
and  I  in  him,  the  same  bringeth 
forth  mucti  fruit;  fur  without  me 
ye  can  do  nothing. 

John  .\vi,  33.  These  things  I 
have  spoken  uuto  you,  that  in  me 
ye  might  have  peace.  In  the 
world  ye  shall  have  tribulation: 
but  be  of  good  cheer,  I  have  over- 
come tlie  world. 

Rom.  viii,  8--10.  So  then  they 
that  lire  in  the  flesh  cannot  please 

God Now  if  any  man 

have  not  the  Spirit  of  Christ,  he 
is  none  of  his.  And  if  Christ 
be  in  you,  the  body  is  dead 
because  of  sin;  but  the  Spirit 
is  life  because  of  righteous- 
ness. 

»  Rom.  xii,  5.  So  we,  being  many, 
are  one  body  in  Christ,  and  every 
one  members  one  of  another. 

1  (^or.  ii,  16.  For  who  hath 
known  the  mind  of  the  Lord,  that 
he  may  instruct  him?  But  we 
have  the  mind  of  Christ. 

1  (Jar.  xii,  12  27.  For  as  the 
body  is  one,  and  hath  many  mem- 
bers, and  all  the  members  of  that 
one  body,  being  many,  are  one 
body:  so  also  is  Christ.  Now  ye 
are  the  body  of  Christ,  and  mem- 
bers in  particular. 

2  Cor.  xiii  3.  Since  ye  seek  a 
proof  of  Clirist  speaking  in  me, 
which  to  you-ward  is  not  weak 
but  is  mighty  in  you. 

Epfi.  i,  9,  10.  21-23.  Having 
made  known  unto  us  the  mystery 
of  his  will,  according  to  his  good 
pleasure,  which  he  hath  purposed 
In  himsell;    That  in  the  dlspeusar 


tlnn  of  the  fulness  of  times  he ' 
luiuht  gatlier  together  in  one  all 
things  in  Christ,  both  which  are 
in  heaven,  and  which  are  on  earth; 
even  in  him.  Far  above  all  princi- 
pality, and  power,  and  might,  and 
dominion,  and  every  name  that  is 
named,  not  only  in  this  world,  but 
also  in  that  which  is  to  come; 
And  hath  put  all  things  under  his 
feet,  and  gave  him  to  be  the  head 
over  all  things  to  the  church. 
Which  is  his  body,  the  fulness  ot 
him  that  fllleth  all  in  all. 

Eph.  fv,  15,  16.  But,  speaking 
the  truth  in  love,  may  grow  up 
into  him  in  all  things,  which  is  the 
head,  even  Christ:  From  whom 
the  whole  body  fitly  joined  to- 
gether and  compacted  by  that 
which  every  joint  supplieth, 
according  to  the  ttTectual  work- 
ing in  the  measure  of  every  part, 
maketh  increase  of  the  body  uuto 
the  edifying  of  itself  in  love. 

Eph.  v,  29,  30.  For  no  man  ever 
yet  hated  his  own  flesh;  but 
nourisheth  and  cherisheth  it,  even 
as  the  Lord  the  church:  For  we 
are  members  of  his  body,  of  liis 
flesh,  and  of  his  bones. 

Col.  i,  18.  And  he  is  the  head  of 
the  body,  the  church:  who  is  the 
beginning,  the  firstborn  from  the 
dead;  that  in  all  thirigs  he  might 
have  the  preeminence. 

Col.  ii,  10.  And  ye  are  complete 
In  him,  which  is  the  head  of  all 
principality  and  power. 

Heb.  ii,  11-13.  For  both  he  that 
sanctifieth  and  they  who  are 
sanctified  are  all  of  one:  for  which 
cause  he  is  not  ashamed  to  call 
them  brethren.  Saying,  I  will  de- 
clare thy  name  unto  my  brethren; 
in  the  midst  of  the  church  will  I 
sing  praise  unto  thee.  And  again, 
I  will  put  my  trust  in  him.  And 
again.  Behold  I  and  the  children 
which  God  hath  given  me.

the  flock,  over  the  which  the 
Holy  Ghost  hath  made  you  over-

owu  blood. 

Eph.  i,  7,  8.  In  whom  we  have

forgiveness  of  ^ins,  according  to 
the  riches  of  his  grace;  Wherein 
he  hath  abounded  toward  us  in 
all  wisdom  and  prudence. 

Heb.  ix,  11-14.  But  Christ  being 
come  an  high  priest  of  good 
things  to  come,  by  a  greater  and 


more  perFect  tabernacle,  not  made 
with  iinnils,  that  is  to  say,  not  of 
this  building;  Neither  by  the 
blood  of  g.iatsand  calves,  but  by 
his  own  blood,  he  entered  in  once 
into  the  holy  place,  having  ob- 
tained eternal  redemption /or  m5. 
For  if  the  blood  of  bulls  and  of 
goats,  and  the  ashes  of  an  heifer 
sprinkling  the  unclean,  sanctifieth 
to  the  purifying  of  tlie  flesh;  How 
much  more  sliall  the  blood  of 
Christ,  who  through  the  eternal 
Spirit  offered  himself  without  spot 
to  frod,  purge  your  conscience 
from  dead  works,  to  serve  the 
living  God? 

1  Peter  i,  18-20.  Forasmuch  as 
ye  know  that  yevvere  not  redeem- 
ed with  corruptible  things,  as 
silver  and  gold,  from  your  vain 
conversation  received  by  tradition 
from  your  tatliers;  But  with  the 
precious  blood  of  Christ,  as  of  a 
lamb  without  blemish  and  with- 
out spot:  Who  verily  was  fore- 
ordained before  the  foundation  of 
the  world,  but  was  mauifest  in 
these  last  times  for  you. 

Rev.  V,  9.  And  they  sung  a  new 
song,  saying.  Thou  art  worthy  to

and  hast  redeemed  us  to  God  by 
thy  blood  out  of  every  kindred,

uatiou. 


1  Cor.  vi,  20.  For  ye  are  bought

John  xviii,  81,  32.  Then  said 
Pilate  unto  them.  Take  ye  him, 
and  judge  him  according  to  your 
law.  The  Jews  therefore  said 
unto  him.  It  is  not  lawful  for  us 
to  put  any  man  to  death:  That 
the  saying  of  Jesus  migiit  be  ful- 
filled, which  he  spake,  signifying 
what  death  he  should  die. 

JoJin  xix,  11.  Jesus  answered, 
Thou  couldest  have  no  power  a< 
all  against  me,  except  it  were 
given  thee  from  above:  therefore 
he  that  delivered  me  unto  thee 
hath  the  greater  sin. 

Acts  Hi,  18.  But  those  things

fulfilled.

Matth.  xvi,  21.  From  that  time 
forth  began  Jesus  to  shew  unto 
his  disciples,  how  that  he  must  go 
unto  Jerusalem,  and  sufl^er  many 
things  of  the  elders  and  chief 
priests  and  scribes,  and  be  killed,

Borry. 

Mark  viii,  30-33.  And  he  charged 
thein  that  they  should  tell  no  man

them,  that  the  Son  ot  man  must 
Kulfer  many  things,  and  be  reject-

And  he  spake  that  saying  openly. 
And  Peter  took  iiiiii  and  began  to

Mark  x,  82-34.  And  they  were 
in  the  way  going  up  to  Jerusalem; 
and  Jesus  went  belbre  them:  and 
they  were  amazed:  and  as  they 
followed,  they  were  afraid.  And 
he  took  again  the  twelve,  and  be- 
gan to  tell  them  what  things 
should  happen  unto  him,  Saying, 
Behold,  we  go  up  to  Jerusalem; 
and  the  Son  of  man  shall  be  deli- 
vered unto  the  chief  prit-sts,  and 
unto  the  scribes;  and  they  shall

Jesus  did,  he  said  unto  his  dis-

the  third  day  I  shall  be  perfected. 
Nevertheless  I  must  walk  to  day,

might  be  a  merciful  and  faithful 
high  priest  in  things  pertaining 
to  God,  to  make  reconciliation  for 
the  sins  of  the  people.  For  in  that 
he  himself  hath  suffered,  being 
tempted,  he  is  able  to  succour 
tbem  that  are  tempted. 

Heb.  iii,  1,  2.  Wherefore,  holy 
brethren,  partakers  of  the  hea- 
venly calling,  consider  the  Apostle 
and  High  Priest  of  our  profession, 
Christ  Jesus;  Who  was  faithful  to 
him  that  appointed  him,  as  also 
Moses  was  faithful  in  all  his 
house. 

Hcb.  iv,  14, 15.  Seeing  then  that 
we  have  have  a  great  high  priest, 
that  is  passed  into  the  heaven<^, 
Jesus  the  Son  of  God.  let  us  hole! 
fast  our  profession.  For  we  have 
not  an  high  priest  which  cannot 
be  tou(;jLied  with  the  feeling  of  our 
infirmities;  but  was  in  all  points 
tempted  like  as  we  are,  yet  with- 
out sin. 

Heb.  v,  6,  7, 10.  As  he  saith  also 
in  another  place,  Thou  art  a  priest 
for  ever,  after  tlie  order  of  Mel- 
chisedec:  Who  in  the  days  of  his 
flesh,  when  he  had  offered  up 
prayers  and  supplications,  with 
strong  crying  and  tears,  unto  him 
that  was  able  to  save  him  frOra 
death,  and  was  heard  in  that  he 
feared.  Called  of  God  an  high 
priest,  after  the  order  of  Melchis- 
edec. 

Heb.  vl,  20.  Whither  the  fore- 
runner is  for  us  entered,  even 
Jesus,  made  an  high  priest  for 
ever,  after  the  order  of  Melchis- 
edec. 

Heb.  vii,  7,  8,  11,  13-17,  19-22. 
24-28.  And  without  all  contra- 
diction, the  less  is  blessed  of  the 
better.  And  here  men  ttiat  die  re- 
ceive tithes;  but  there  he  receiveth 
them,  of  whom  it  is  witnessed  that 
he  liveth.  If  therefore  perfection 
were  by  the  Levilical  priesthood, 
(for  under  it  the  people  received 
the  law.)  what  further  need  wds 
there  that  another  priest  should 
rise  after  the  order  of  Melchisedec, 
and  not  be  called  after  the  order 
of  Aaron?  For  he  of  whom  these 
things  are  spoken  pertalneth  to 
another  tribe,  of  which  no  man 
gave  attendance  at  the  altar.  For 
it  is  evident  that  our  Lord  sprang 
out  of  Judah;  of  which  tribe  Moses 
spake  nothing  concerning  priest- 
hood. And  it  is  yet  far  more  evi- 
dent: for  that  after  the  similitude 
of  Melctiisedec  there  ariseth  an- 
otlier  priest,  Wlio  is  made,  not 
alter  the  law  of  a  carnal  com- 
mundi.i.'nt,  but  after  the  power  ol 
an  endl.'ss  life.  For  he  testifleth, 
Tliou  art  a  priest  for  ever,  alter 
the  order  of  Melchisedec.  For  the 
law  made  uotliiug  perfect,  but  the 
bringing  in  of  a  better  hope  did^ 
by  the  which  we  draw  nigh  unto 
God.  Ai.d  inasmucli  as  nut  with. 
out  an  oath  he  was  made  priest: 


REDEMPTION, 


For  those  priests  were  made) 
writhout  an  oath;  but  this  with  an 
oath  by  him  that  said  unto  him, 
The  Lord  sware,  and  will  not  re- 
pent, Thou  art  a  priest  for  ever, 
after  the  order  of  Melchisedec:) 
By  so  much  was  Jesus  made  a 
surety  of  a  better  testament.  But 
this  man,  because  he  continueth 
ever,  Lath  an  unchangeable  priest- 
hood. For  such  an  high  priest 
became  us,  tolio  is  holy,  harmless, 
undefiled,  separate  from  sinners, 
and  made  higher  than  the  hea- 
vens; Who  needeth  not  daily,  as 
those  high  priests,  to  offer  up  sa- 
crifice, first  for  his  own  sins,  and 
then  for  the  people's:  for  this  he 
did  once,  when  he  olTered  up 
himself.  For  tlie  law  makethmen 
high  priests  which  have  infirmity; 
but  the  word  of  the  oath,  which 
was  since  the  law,  maketh  the 
Son,  who  is  consecrated  for  ever- 
more. 

JTeb.  viii,  1-5.  Now  of  the  things 
which  we  have  spoken  this  is  the 
sum:  We  have  such  an  high  priest, 
who  is  set  on  the  right  hand  of 
the  throne  of  the  Majesty  in  the 
heavens;  A  minister  of  the  sanc- 
tuary, and  of  the  true  tabernacle, 
which  the  Lord  pitched,  and  not 
man.  For  every  high  priest  is  or- 
dained to  offer  gifts  and  sacrifices: 
wherefore  it  is  of  necessity  that 
this  man  have  somewhat  also  to 
offer.  For  If  he  were  on  earth,  he 
should  not  be  a  priest,  seeing  that 
there  are  priests  that  offer  gilts 
according  to  the  law;  Who  serve 
unto  the  example  and  shadow  of 
heavenly  things,  as  Moses  was  ad- 
monislied  of  God  when  he  was 
about  to  malie  the  tabernacle:  for. 
See  (sailh  he)  that  thou  malie  all 
things  according  to  the  pattern 
shewed  to  thee  in  the  mount. 

Heb.  ix,  1-10.  Then  verily  the 
first  covenant  had  also  ordinances 
of  divine  service,  and  a  worldly 
sanctuary.  For  there  was  a  taber- 
nacle made;  the  first,  wherein  was 
the  ciimilesiick,  and  the  table  and 
the  shew-bread;  which  is  called 
tlie  Sanctuary.  And  after  the 
second  vail,  the  tabernacle  which 
is  culled  the  Holiest  of  all;  Which 
had  the  golden  censer,  and  the 
arlc  of  the  covenant  overlaid  round 
about  with  gold,  wherein  tvas  the 
golden  pot  that  had  manna,  and 
Aiiron's  rod  that  budded,  and  the 
tables  of  the  covenant;  And  over 
it  the  cherubims  of  glory  shadow- 
ing the  mercy-seat;  of  which  we 
cannot  now  speak  particularly. 
Now  when  these  things  were  thus 
ordained,  the  priests  went  always 
into  the  first  tabernacle,  accom- 
plisliing  the  serviceo/6'od;  But  into 
the  second  tuent  the  higli  priest 
alone  once  every  year,  not  without 
blood,  v.liich  he  offered  for  him- 
»ielfj  and  for  the  errors  of  tlie 
people;  The^  Holy' Ghost  this  sig- 


nifying, that  the  way  into  the  holi- 
est of  all  was  not  yet  made  mani- 
fest, while  as  the  first  tabernacle 
was  yet  standing:  Which  icas  a 
figure  for  the  time  then  present, 
in  which  were  offered  both  gifts 
and  sacrifices,  that  could  not  make 
him  that  did  the  service  perfect, 
as  pertaining  to  the  conscience; 
Which  stood  only  in  meats  and 
drinks,  and  divers  washings,  and 
carnal  ordinances,  imposed  on 
them  until  the  time  of  reforma- 
tion. 

HeKs.,  1-5, 10, 11, 17-19,  21,  22. 
For  the  law  having  a  shadow  of 
good  things  to  come,  and  not  the 
very  image  of  the  things,  can 
never  witii  those  sacrifices,  which 
they  offered  year  by  year  conti- 
nually, make  the  comers  there- 
unto perfect:  For  then  would  they 
not  have  ceased  to  be  offered?  be- 
cause that  the  worshippers  once 
purged  should  have  had  no  more 
conscience  of  sins.  But  in  those 
sacrifices  there  is  a  remembrance 
again  made  of  sins  every  year. 
For  it  is  not  possible  that  the 
blood  of  bulls  and  of  goats  should 
take  away  sins.  By  the  which 
will  we  are  sanctified,  through  the 
offering  of  the  body  of  Jesus 
Christ  once  for  all.  And  every 
priest  standeth  daily  ministering, 
and  offering  oftentimes  the  same 
sacrifices,  which  can  never  take 
away  sins.  And  their  sins  and  in- 
quities  wfil  I  remember  no  more. 
Inovv,  where  remission  of  these  is, 
there  is  no  more  offering  for  sin. 
Having  therefore,  brethren,  bold- 
ness to  enter  into  the  holiest  by 
the  blood  of  Jesus,  And  having  an 
high  priest  over  the  house  of  God; 
Let  us  draw  near  with  a  true 
heart,  in  full  assurance  of  faith, 
having  our  hearts  sprinkled  from 
an  evil  conscience,  and  our  bodies 
washed  with  pure  water. 

Heb.  xiii,  10-12.  We  have  an 
altar,  whereof  they  have  no  right 
to  eat  which  serve  the  tabernacle. 
For  the  bodies  of  those  beasts, 
whose  blood  is  brought  into  the 
sanctuary  by  the  high  priest  for 
sin,  are  burned  without  the  camp. 
Wherefore  Jesus  also,  that  he 
might  sanctify  the  people  with 
his  own  blood,  suffered  without 
the  gate. 

Eph.  V,  2,  23-27.  And  walk  in 
love,  as  Christ  also  hath  loved  us, 
and  hath  given  himself  for  us  an 
offering  and  a  sacrifice  to  God  for 
a  sweet-smelling  savour.  Hus- 
bands, love  your  wives,  even  as 
Christ  also  loved  the  church,  and 
gave  himself  for  it;  That  he 
might  sanctify  and  cleanse  it  with 
the  washing  of  water  by  the  word; 
That  he  might  present  it  to  him- 
self a  glorious  church,  not  hav- 
ing spot,  or  wrinkle,  or  any  such 
thing;  but  that  it  should  be  holy 
and  without  blemish.

CHRIST'S  DEATH  SACRIFI- 
CIAL. 

Ps.  xl,  6-8.  Sacrifice  and  offering 
thou  didst  not  desire;  mine  ears 
hast  thou  opened:  burnt-offering 
and  sill-offering  hast  thou  not  re- 
quired. Then  said  I,  Lo,  I  come : 
in  the  volume  of  the  hook  it  is 
written  of  me,  I  delight  to  do  thy 
will,  O  my  God;  yea,  thy  law  is 
within  ray  heart. 

Dan.  ix,  27.  And  he  shall  con- 
form the  covenant  with  many  for 
one  week:  and  in  the  midst  of  the 
week  he  shall  cause  the  sacrifice 
and  the  oblation  to  cease,  and  for 
the  over-spreading  of  abomina- 
tions he  shall  make  it  desolate, 
even  until  the  consummation,  and 
that  determined  shall  be  poured 
upon  the  desolate. 

Heb.  Ix,  25,  26.  Nor  yet  that  he 
should  offer  himself  often,  as  the 
high  priest  entereth  into  the  holy 
place  every  year  with  blood  of 
others;  (For  then  must  he  often 
have  suffered  since  the  founda- 
tion of  the  world:)  but  now  once 
in  the  end  of  the  world  hath  he 
appeared,  to  put  away  sin  by  the 
sacrifice  of  himself. 

Heb.  X,  5-9,  14.  Wherefore, 
when  he  comoth  into  the  world, 
he  saith.  Sacrifice  and  offering 
thou  wouldest  not,  but  a  body 
hast  thou  prepared  me:  In  burnt- 
offerings  and  sacrifices  for  sin 
thou  hast  had  no  pleasure:  Then 
said  I,  Lo,  I  come  (in  the  volume 
of  the  book  it  is  written  of  me)  to 
do  thy  will,  O  God.  Above,  when 
he  said.  Sacrifice,  and  offering, 
and  burnt-offerings,  and  offering 
for  sin,  thou  wouldest  not,  neither 
hadst  pleasure  therein;  (which 
are  offered  by  the  law:)  Then 
said  he,  Lo,  I  come  to  do  thy  will, 
O  God.  He  taketh  away  the  first, 
that  he  may  establish  the  second. 
For  by  one  offering  he  hath  per- 
fected lor  ever  them  that  are 
sanctified. 

SUBSTITUTIONARY. 
Isa.  liii,  4-6.  Surely  he  hath 
borne  our  griefs,  and  carried  our 
sorrows:  yet  we  did  esteem  him 
stricken,  smitten  of  God,  and 
afflicted.  But  he  was  wounded 
tor  our  transgressions,  he  was 
bruised  for  our  iniquities:  ilie 
chastisement  of  our  peace  was 
upon  him;  and  with  his  siripes  we 
are  healed.  All  we,  like  sheep, 
have  gone  astray;  we  have  turned 
every  one  to  his  own  way;  and 
the  Lord  hath  laid  on  him  the 
iniquity  of  us  alL 

JIarJc  X,  45.  For  even  the  Son  of 
man  came  not  to  be  ministered 
unto,  but  to  minister,  and  to  give 
his  life  a  ransom  lor  many. 

£om.  V,  6-8  For  when  v(fi  vexa 


EEDEMPTIOK 


yet  wlthont  strength,  in  dne  tfrae 
Christ  died  for  tlie  unj^odly.  For 
Bcarcely  for  a  rig^hteous  man  will 
one  die;  yet  peradventure  for  & 
good  man  some  would  even  dare 
to  die.  But  God  comraendeth  his 
love  toward  us,  in  that,  while  we 
were  yet  sinners,  Christ  died  lor 
as. 

1  Cor.  XV,  3.  For  I  delivered 
unto  you  first  of  all  that  which  I 
also  received,  how  that  Christ 
died  for  our  sins  according  to  the 
Bcriptures. 

2  Cor.  V,  21.  For  he  hath  made 
him  to  be  sin  for  us,  who  knew  no 
gin;  that  we  might  be  made  the 
righteousness  of  Gud  in  him. 

1  Feter  ii,  24.  Who  his  own  self 
bare  our  sins  in  his  own  body  on 
the  tree,  that  we,  being  dead  to 
sins,  bhould  live  unto  righteous- 
ness: by  whose  stripes  ye  were 
healed. 

1  Feter  ill,  18.  For  Christ  also 
hath  once  suttered  for  sins,  the 
lust  for  the  unjust,  that  he  might 
bring  us  to  God,  being  put  to 
death  in  the  flesh,  but  quicls.ened 
by  the  Spirit. 

AND  PROPITIATORY. 

Isa.  xlii,  21.  The  Lord  is  well 
pleased  for  his  righteousness' 
sake;  he  will  magnify  the  law, 
and  make  it  honourable. 

Isa.  liii,  10.  Yet  It  pleased  the 
Lord  to  bruise  him;  he  hath  put 
him  to  griuf:  when  thou  shalt 
make  his  soul  an  offering  for  sin, 
he  shall  see  his  seed,  he  shall  pro- 
long his  days,  and  the  pleasure  of 
the  LoBD  shall  prosper  in  his 
hand. 

Ban.  Ix,  24  Seventy  weeks  are 
determined  upon  thy  people,  and 
upon  thy  holy  city,  to  fmifh  the 
transgression,  and  to  make  an  end 
of  sins,  and  to  make  reconciliation 
for  iniquity,  and  to  bring  in  ever- 
lasting righteousness,  and  to  seal 
up  the  vision  and  prophecy,  and 
to  anoint  the  most  Holy. 

Horn.  V,  9-11.  Much  more  then, 
being  now  justified  by  his  blood, 
we  shall  be  saved  from  wrath 
through  him.  For  if,  when  we 
were  enemies,  we  were  reconciled 
to  God  by  the  death  of  his  Son; 
much  more,  being  reconciled,  we 
shall  be  saved  by  his  life.  And 
not  only  so,  but  we  also  joy  in 
God  through  our  Lord  Jesus 
eiirist,  by  whom  we  have  now  re- 
ceived the  atonement. 

2,  Cor.  V,  18, 19.  And  all  things 
are  of  God,  who  hath  reconciled 
us  to  himself  by  Jesus  Christ, 
and  hath  given  to  us  the  ministry 
of  reconciliation;  To  wit,  that 
God  was  in  Christ,  reconciling  the 
world  unto  himself,  not  Imputing 
tholr  troepasdea  unto  them;  and 


hath  committed  unto  us  the  word 
of  reconciliation. 

2  Cor.  viii.  9.  For  ye  know  the 
grace  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
tliatj  though  he  was  rich,  yet  for 
your  sakes  he  became  poor,  that 
ye  through  his  poverty  might  be 
rich. 

Eph.  li,  13-16.  But  now  in  Christ 
Jesus  ye  who  sometimes  were  far 
off  are  made  nigh  by  the  blood  of 
Christ.  For  he  is  our  peace,  who 
hath  made  both  one,  and  hath 
broken  down  the  middle  wall  of 
partition  between  us;  Having 
abolished  in  his  flesh  the  enmity, 
even  the  law  of  commandments 
contained  in  ordinances;  for  to 
make  in  himself  of  twain  one  new 
man,  so  making  peace;  And  that 
he  might  reconcile  both  unto 
God  in  one  body  by  the  cross, 
having  slain  the  enmity  thereby. 

Col.  i,  20.  And,  having  made 
peace  through  the  blood  of  his 
cross,  by  him  to  reconcile  all 
things  unto  himself; by  him, isay, 
whether  they  be  things  In  earth, 
or  things  in  heaven. 

Ileb.  ix,  12.  Neither  by  the 
blood  of  goats  and  calves,  but  by 
his  own  blood  he  entered  in  once 
into  the  holy  place,  have  obtained 
eternal  redemption /or  us. 

Heb.  X,  11, 12.  And  every  priest 
standeth  daily  ministeiing  and 
offering  oftentimes  the  same 
sacrifices,  which  can  never  take 
away  sins:  But  this  man,  after  he 
had  offered  one  sacrifice  for  sins 
for  ever,  sat  down  on  the  right 
hand  of  God. 

1  John  ii,  2.  And  he  is  the  pro- 
pitiation for  our  sins:  and  not  for 
ours  only,  but  also  for  the  sins  of 
tlie  whole  world. 

1  John  iv,  10.    Herein  is  love, 
not  that  we  loved  God,  but  that 
he  loved  us,  and  sent  his  Son  to  be 
the  propiation  for  our  sins. 
RESULTS. 

JUSTIFICATIOU, 

Jer.  xxxiii,  16.  In  those  days 
shall  Judah  be  saved,  and  Jeru- 
salem shall  dwell  safely:  and  this 
is  the  name  wherewith  she  shall 
be  called.  The  Lord  our  Right- 
eousness. 

Acts  xiil,  89.  And  by  him  all 
that  believe  are  justified  from  all 
things,  from  which  ye  could  not 
be  justified  by  the  law  of  Moses. 

Eom.  Hi,  24-26.  Being  justified 
freely  by  his  grace,  through  the 
redemption  that  is  In  Christ 
Jesus:  Whom  God  hath  set  forth  to 
be  a  propitiation  through  faith  in 
his  blood,  to  declare  his  right- 
eousness for  the  remission  of  ^in8 
that  are  past,  through  the  for- 
l)earance  of  God;  To  declare,  / 
say,  at  this  time  his  righteous- 
ness; that  he  might  be  Just,  and 
6U6 


the  justlfier  of  hira  which  bellev- 
oth  in  Jesus. 

Rom.  iv.  23-25.  Now  it  was 
not  written  tor  his  sake  alone, 
that  it  was  imputed  to  him;  But 
for  us  also,  to  whom  it  shall  bo 
imputed,  if  we  believe  on  him 
that  raised  up  .lesus  our  Lord 
from  the  dead;  Who  was  deliver- 
ed for  our  oflences,  and  was 
raised  again  for  our  justification. 

Eom.  V,  9.  Much  more  then, 
being  now  justified  by  his  blood, 
we  shall  be  saved  from  wrath 
througli  him. 

Rom.  viii,  1-3.  There  is  there- 
fore now  no  condemnation  to 
tliem  which  are  in  Christ  Jesus, 
who  walk  not  after  the  flesh,  but 
after  the  Spirit.  For  the  law  of 
the  Spirit  of  life  in  Clirist  Jesua 
hath  made  me  free  from  the  law 
of  sin  and  death.  For  what  tho 
law  could  not  do,  in  that  it  was 
weak  through  the  flesh,  God 
sending  his  own  Son  in  the  like- 
ness of  sinful  flesli,  and  for  sin, 
condemned  sin  in  the  flesh. 

Gal.  ii,  16, 17,  21.  Knowing  that 
a  man  is  not  justified  by  tho 
works  of  the  law,  but  by  the  faith 
of  Jesus  Christ,  even  we  have 
believed  in  Jesus  Christ,  that  wo 
migiit  be  justified  by  the  faith  of 
Christ,  and  not  by  the  works  of 
the  law:  for  by  the  works  of  the 
law  shall  no  flesh  be  justified.  But 
if,  while  we  seek  to  be  justified  by 
Ctirist,  we  ourselves  also  are 
found  sinners,  is  therefore  Christ 
the  mini-iter  of  sin?  God  forbid. 
1  do  not  frustrate  the  grace  of  God: 
for  if  rignteousness  come  by  the 
law,  then  Christ  is  dead  in  vain. 

Pardon. 

Num.  xiv,  20.  And  the  Lord 
said,  I  have  pardoned,  according 
to  thy  word. 

Fs.  xxxii,  1,  2.  Blessed  is  he 
whose  transgression  is  forgiven, 
whose  sin  is  covered.  Blessed  is 
the  man  unto  whom  the  Lord 
impnteth  not  iniquity,  and  in 
'whose  spirit  there  is  no  guile. 

Ps.  Ixv,  3.  Iniquities  prevail 
against  me:  as  for  our  transgres- 
sions, thou  Shalt  purge  them 
away. 

Fs.  Ixxxv,  2,  3.  Thou  hast  for- 
given the  iniquity  of  tliy  people; 
thou  hast  covered  all  their  sin. 
Seiah.  Thou  hast  taken  away  all 
thy  wrath:  thou  hast  turned  thy- 
self from  the  fierceness  of  thine 
anger. 

Ps.  xclx,  8.  Thou  answeredst 
them,  O  Lord  our  God:  thou  wast 
a  God  that  lorgavest  them,  though 
thou  tookest  vengeance  of  their 
inventions. 

Fs.  clil,  12.  As  far  as  the  east  is 
from  the  weet,  so  far  hath  he  ro-

moved  onr  transgressions  from 
us. 

Ps.  cxxx,  8.  And  he  shall  redeem 
Israel  from  all  his  iniquities.

though  they  be  red  like  crimson, 
they  shall  be  as  wool. 

Isaiah  xxxiii,  24.  And  the  inha- 
bitant shall  not  say,  I  am  sick: 
the  people  that  dwell  therein 
shall  be  forgiven  their  iniquity. 

Isaiah  xxxviii,  17.  Behold,  for 
peace  I  had  great  bitterness;  but 
thou  hast  In  love  to  my  soul  de- 
livered it  from  the  pit  of  corrup- 
tion: for  thou  hast  cast  all  my  sins 
behind  thy  back. 

Isa.  xl,  1.  2.  Comfort  ye,  comfort 
ye  my  people,  saith  your  God. 
Speak  ye  comfortably  to  Jeru- 
salem, and  cry  unto  lier,  that  her 
warfare  is  accomplished,  that  her 
Iniquity  is  pardoned:  for  she  hath 
received  of  the  Loan's  hand 
double  for  all  her  sins. 

Isa.  xliii,  25.  I,  c-en  I,  am  he 
Ihat  blotteth  out  tiiy  transgres- 
sions for  mine  own  sake,  and  will 
not  remember  thy  sins, 

Isa.  xliv,  22.  I  have  blotted  out, 
as  a  thick  cloud,  thy  transgres- 
sions, and,  as  a  cloud,  thy  sins: 
return  unto  me;  for  I  have  re- 
deemed thee. 

Jer.  xxxiii,  8  And  I  will  clennse 
them  from  all  their  iniquity, 
whereby  they  have  sinned  against 
me;  and  I  will  pardon  all  their 
Iniquities,  whereby  they  have 
sinned,  and  whereby  they  have 
transgressed  against  me. 

Jer.  1,  20.  In  those  days,  and  in 
that  time,  saith  the  IjOkd,  the  ini- 
quity of  Israel  shall  be  sought  for, 
and  there  shall  be  none;  and  the 
sins  of  Judah,  and  they  shall  not 
be  found:  lor  I  will  pardon  them 
whom  I  reserve. 

Micah  vii,  19.  lie  will  turn 
again,  he  will  have  compassion 
upon  us;  he  will  subdue  our  ini- 
quities; and  thou  wilt  cast  all 
their  sins  into  the  depths  of  the 
sea. 

LuJiC  xxiv,  47.  And  that  re- 
pentance and  remission  of  sins 
should  be  preached  in  Ids  name 
among  all  nations,  beginning  at 
Jerusalem.

exalted  with  his  right  hand  to  be 
a  Prince  and  aSavi<)ur,for  togive 
repentance  to  Israel,  and  forgive- 
ness of  sins.  And  we  are  his  wit- 
nesses of  these  things;  and  so  is 
also  the  Holy  Ghost 

Acts  xiil,  38.  Be  it  known  unto 
you  therefore,  men  aiicl  brethren, 
that  through  this  man  is  preach- 


ed tmto  you  the  forgiveness  oi 
sins. 

Bom.  iv,  7,  8.  Saying,  Blessed 
are  they  whose  iniquities  are  for- 
given, and  whose  sins  are  cover- 
ed. Blessed  is  the  man  to  whom 
the  Lord  will  not  impute  sin. 

Eph.  i,  7.  In  whom  we  have 
redemption  through  his  blood, 
the  forgiveness  of  sins,  according 
to  the  riches  of  his  grace. 

Col.  \,  14.  In  whom  we  have 
redemption  through  his  blood, 
even  the  forgiveness  of  sins. 

1  Tim.  I,  14.  And  the  grace  of 
our  Lord  was  exceeding  abundant 
with  faith  and  love  which  is  in 
Christ  Jesus. 

Neb.  viii,  12.  For  I  will  be 
merciful  to  their  unrighteousness 
and  their  sins  and  their  iniquities 
will  I  remember  no  more. 

Ileb.  X,  17,  18.  And  their  sins 
and  iniquities  will  I  remember 
no  more.  Now  where  remission 
of  these  is,  there  is  no  more  offer- 
ing for  sin. 

1  John  i,  7.  But  if  we  walk  in 
the  lig:ht,  as  he  is  in  the  light,  we 
have  fellowship  one  with  another, 
and  the  blood  of  Jesus  Christ  his 
Sun  cleanseth  us  from  all  sin.

vealed in  mine  ears  by  the  Lord 
of  hosts.  Surely  this  iniquity  shall 
not  be  purged  from  you  till  ye  die, 
saith  the  Lord  God  of  hosts. 
■  Jer.  ii,  22.  For  though  thou 
wash  thee  with  nitre,  and  take 
thee  much  soap,  yet  thine  iniquity 
is  marked  before  me,  saith  the 
Lord  God.

forgive,  neither  will  your  Father 
which  is  in  heaven  forgive  your 
trespasses.

Eph.  if,  4-6.  But  God,  who  l3

love  wherewith  he  loved  us. 
Even  when  we  were  dead  in  sins, 
hath  quickened  us  together  with 
Clirist;  (by  grace  ye  are  saved:) 
And  hath  raised  us  up  together, 
anil  marie  us  sit  together  in  hea- 
venly places  in  Christ  Jesus. 

1  Thess.  V,  9-11.  For  God  hath 
not  appointed  us  to  wrath,  but 
to  obtain  salvation  by  our  Lord 
Jesus  Christ,  Who  died  for  us, 
that,  whether  we  wake  or  sleep, 
we  should  live  together  with  him. 
Wherefore  comfort  yourselves 
together,  and  edify  one  another, 
even  as  also  ye  do.       '

of  bulls  and  of  goats,  and  the 
ashes  of  an  heifer  sprinkling  the

shall  the  blood  of  Clirist,  who 
through  the  eternal  Spirit  offered 
himself  without  spot  to  God, 
purge  your  conscience  from  dead 
works  to  serve  the  living  God.

Sir,  thou  knowest.  And  he  said 
to  me.  These  are  they  which  came 
out  of  great  tribulation,  and  have

REDEMPTION   IN  ITS 
APPLICATION  AND  FRUITS. 

THE    HOLY   GHOST. 

John  xiv,  26.  But  the  Comfor- 
ter, ichich  is  the  Holy  Ghost, 
whom  the  Father  shall  send  in 
my  name,  he  shall  teach  you  all 
things,  and  bring  all  things  to 
your  remembrance,  whatsoever  I 
have  said  unto  you. 

Joh7i  xvi,  7-14.  Nevertheless  I 
tell  you  the  truth;  It  is  expedient 
for  you  that  I  go  away:  for  if  I  go 
not  away,  the  Comforter  will  not 
come  unto  you;  but  if  I  depart,  I 
will  send  him  unto  you.  And 
when  he  is  c  ime,  he  will  reprove 
the  world  o;  sin,  and  of  righteous- 
ness, and  of  judgment:  Of  sin, 
because  they  believe  not  on  me; 
Of  righteousness,  because  I  go  to 
my  Father,  and  ye  see  me  no 
more;  Of  judgment,  because  the 
I  prince  of  this  world  is  judged.  I

whatsoever  he  shall  hear,  that 
Bliall  he  speak:  and  he  will  shew

HIS  DIVINITY. 

Provsd  from  his  Namb. 
Isa.  vi,  8.  9.  Also  I  heard  Ihe 
voice  of  the  Lord,  sayingr.  Whom 
Bliall  I  send,  and  who  will  go  for 
us?  Then  said  I,  Here  am  I;  send 
xiiQ.  And  lie  said,  Go,  and  tell  this 
people,  Ilear  ye  indeed,  but  un- 
derstand not;  and  see  ye  indeed, 
but  perceive  not. 

Acts  V,  3,  4.  But  Peter  said, 
Ananias,  why  hath  Satan  filled 
thine  heart  to  lie  to  the  Holy 
Ghost,  and  to  keep  back  part  of 
the  price  of  the  land?  Whiles  it 
remained,  was  it  not  thine  own? 
and  a.fter  It  was  sold,  was  it  not  in 
thine  own  power?  why  hast  thou 
conceived  this  thing  in  thine 
heart?  thou  hast  not  lied  uuto 
CD  en,  but  unto  God. 

^cfsxxviii,2526.  Andwhenthey 
agreed  not  among  themselves, 
tliey  departed  after  that  Paul  had 
Bp<»ken  one  word,  Well  spake  the 
Holy  Ghost  by  Esaiasthe  prophet 
unto  our  fathers,  saying,  Go  unto 
this  people,  and  say,  Hearing  ye 
fihull  hear,  and  shall  not  under- 
stand; and  seeing  ye  shall  see,  and 
not  perceive. 

1  Cor.  iii.  16  Know  ye  not  that 
ye  are  the  temple  of  God,  and  that 
the  Spirit  of  God  dwelleth  in  you? 

His  Perfections. 
Ps.  cxxxix,  7.    Whither  shall  I 
go  from   thy  Spirit?    or  whither 
shall  I  flee  from  thy  presence? 

1  Qor.  li,  10,  11.  16.    But  God 

nath  revealed  thera  unto  us  by  his 
Spirit:  for  the  Spirit  searclieth  all 
things,  yea,  the  deep  things  of 
God.  For  what  man  knoweth  the 
things  of  a  man,  save  the  spirit  of 
man  which  is  in  him?  even  so  the 
things  ot  God  knoweth  no  man, 
but  the  Spirit  of  God.  For  who 
haih  known  the  mind  of  the  Lord, 
that  he  may  instruct  him?  But  we 
have  the  mind  of  Clirlst. 

His  Works. 
Gen.  I,  2.  And  the  earth  was 
without  form,  and  void;  and  dark- 
uets  was  upon  the  face  of  the 
deep.  And  the  Spirit  of  God

Waters.

devils  by  the  Spirit  of  God,  then 
the  kingdom  of  God  is  come  unto 
you. 

1  Cor.  x\\.  7-11.  But  the  mani- 
festation of  the  Spirit  is  given  to 
every  man  to  profit  withal.  For 
to  one  is  given  by  the  Spirit  the 
word  of  wisdom;  to  another  the 
word  of  knowledge  by  the  same 
Spirit;  To  another  faith  by  the 
same  Spirit;  to  anotlier  the  gifts 
of  healing  by  the  same  Spirit;  To 
another  the  working  of  miracles; 
to  another  prophecy;  to  another 
discerning  of  spirits;  to  another 
divers  kinds  of  tongues;  to  another 
the  interpretation  of  tongues:  But 
all  these  worketh  that  one  and  the 
self-same  Spirit,  dividing  to  every 
man  severally  as  he  will.

seven  Spirits  which  are  before  his 
throne;  And  from  Jesus  Christ,

earth.  Unto  him  that  loved  us,

Gentiles.

nor  oi  the  will  of  man,  but  of  God.

have  heard  him,  and  have  been 
taught  by  him,  as  the  truth  is  in 
Jesus:  That  ye  put  olT,  concerning 
the  former  conversation,  the  old 
man,  which  is  corrupt  according 
to  the  deceitful  lusts;  and  be  re- 
newed in  the  spirit  of  your  mind; 
And  that  ye  put  on  the  new  man, 
which  after  God  is  created  in 
righteousness,  and  true  holiness. 
Wherefore,  putting  away  lying, 
speak  every  man  truth  with  his

rom.  Tl,  1.  2,  6,  IT,  13.  What 
shall  we  say  then?  Shall  we  con- 
tinue in  sin,  that  grace  may 
abound?  God  forbid.  How  shalj 
we,  that  are  dead  to  sin.  live  any 
longer  therein?  Knowing  this, 
that  our  old  man  is  crucitied  with 
him,  that  the  body  of  sin  might 
be  destroyed,  that  henceforth  we 
should  not  serve  sin.  Like wi -so 
reckon  ye  also  yourselves  to  be 
dead  indeed  to  sin,  but  alive  unto 
God  thnmgh  Jesus  Christ  our 
Lord.  Neither  yield  you  your 
members  as  instruments  of  un- 
righteousness unto  sin:  but  j  leld 
yourselves  unto  God,  as  those 
that  are  alive  from  the  dead,  and 
your  members  as  instruments  of 
rigliteousness  uuto  tiod, 

Horn,  vii,  5,  6.  For  Avhen  we 
were  in  the  lle-h,  the  motions  of 
sins,  which  were  by  tiie  law,  did 
Work  in  our  members  to  bring 
forth  fruit  unto  death.  But  now 
we  are  delivered  from  the  law, 
that  being  dead  wherein  we  were 
held;  that  we  should  serve  in 
newness  of  spirit,  and  not  in  the 
oldness  of  the  letter.

quickeued,  who  were  dead  in  tres- 
passes and  sius. 

Eph.  V,  13,14.  But  all  things  that 
are  reproved  are  made  manifest 
by  the  light:  for  whatsoever  doth 
make  muniiest  is  light.  Where- 
fore he  saiih,  Awake  thou  that 
sleepest,  and  arise  from  the  dead, 
and  Christ  shall  give  thee  light. 

Col.  ii,  13.  And  you,  being  dead 
in  your  sins  and  the  uncircumci- 
sion of  your  flesh,  hath  he  quick- 
ened together  with  him,  having 
forgiven  you  all  trespasses. 

2  Cor.  vi,  1.  We  then,  as  work- 
ers together  with  him,  beseech 
you  also  that  ye  receive  not  the 
grace  of  God  in  vain. 

2  Cor.  vii,  1,2.  Having  therefore 
these  promises,  dearly  beloved, 
let  us  cleanse  ourselves  from  all 
filthiness  of  the  flesh  and  spirit, 
perfecting  holiness  in  the  fear 
of  God.  Receive  us;  we  have 
wronged  no  man,  we  have  cor- 
rupted no  man,  we  have  defraud- 
ed no  man. 

Gal.  V,  16,  25.  This  I  say  then, 
Walk  in  the  ^pi^it,  and  ye  shall 
not  fulfil  the  lust  of  the  flesh.  If 
we  live  in  the  Si)irit,  let  us  also 
walk  in  the  Spirit.

Heb.  xl,  1,  2,  6  Now  faith  is  the

report.  But  without  faith  it  iz 
Impossible  to  please  M7n:  for  he 
that  Cometh  to  God  must  believe

warder  of  them  that  diligently 
seek  him. 

Beb.  xii,  25.  See  that  ye  refuse

from  him  that  speaketh  from 
heaven.

believeth  that  Jesus  is  the  Christ 
Is  born  of  God:  and  every  one  that 
loveth  him  that  begat,  loveth  him 
also  that  is  begotten  of  him.  These 
things  have  1  written  unto  you

Son  of  God,  that  ye  may  know 
that  ye  have  eternal  life,  and  that 
ye  may  believe  on  the  name  ol

word  shall  come  to  pass  unto  thee 
or  not. 

Num.  XX,  12, 13.  And  the  Lord 
spake  unto  Moses  and  Aaron,  Be- 
cause ye  believed  me  not,  to  sanc- 
tify me  in  the  eyes  of  the  children 
Of  Israol,  therefore  ye  shall  not 
bring  this  congregation  into  the 
land  which  I  have  given  them. 
This  is  tlie  water  of  Meribah;  be- 
cause the  children  of  Israel  strove 
with  the  Loud,  and  he  was  eancii- 
fled  iu  them. 


Ps.lU,  7.  Lo,  this  is  the  man 
that  made  not  God  his  strength; 
but  trusted  in  the  abundance  of 
his  riches,  and  strengthened  him- 
self in  his  wickedness. 

Fs.  Ixxviii,  32,  33.  For  all  this 
they  sinned  still,  and  believed  not 
for  his  wondrous  works.  There-

in  vanity,  and  their  years  in 
trouble.

All  men  are  liars.

lieved the  things  which  were 
spoken,  and  some  believed  not. 

Bom.  x,  16,  17.  But  they  have 
not  all  obeyed  the  gospel:  for 
Esaias  saith.  Lord,  who  hath  be- 
lieved our  report?  So  then  faith 
Cometh  by  hearing,  and  hearing 
by  the  word  of  God. 

Heb.  iii,  18,  19.  And  to  whom 
Bware  he  that  they  should  not 
enter  into  his  rest,  but  to  them 
that  believed  not?  So  we  see 
that  they  could  not  enter  in  be- 
cause of  unbelief. 

Heb.  iv,  2,  6.  For  unto  ns  was 
the  gospel  preached,  as  well  as 
unto  them:  but  the  word  preach- 
ed did  not  profit  them,  not  being 
mixed  with  faith  in  them  that 
heard  it  Seeing  therefore  It  re- 
maineth  that  some  must  enter 
tlierein,  and  they  to  whom  it  was 
first  preached  entered  not  in  be- 
cause of  unbelief. 

John  i,  11.  He  came  unto  his 
own,  and  his  own  received  him 
not. 

John  V,  38,41,43.  And  ye  have  not 
his  word  abiding  in  you:  for  whom 
he  hath  sent,  him  ye  believe  not. 
1  receive  not  honour  from  men.  I 
am  come  in  my  Father's  name, 
and  ye  receive  me  not:  if  another 
shall  come  in  his  own  name,  him 
ye  will  receive. 

John  vi,  36.  But  I  said  unto 
you,  That  ye  also  have  seen  me, 
and  believe  not. 

John  viii,  24, 45, 46.  I  said  there- 
fore  unto  you,  that  ye  shall  die  in 
your  sins:  for  if  ye  believe  not  that 
I  am  he,  ye  shall  die  in  your  sins. 
And  because  I  tell  t/ou  the  truth, 
ye  believe  me  not.  Which  of  you 
convlnceth  me  of  sin?  And  if  I 
say  the  truth,  why  do  y©  not  be- 
hove me? 

JoJin  xl,  46.  But  some  of  them

spake  of  stoning  him;  because  the 
soul  of  all  the  people  was  grieved, 
every  man  for  his  sons  and  for  his 
daugliters:  but  David  encouraged 
himself  in  the  Lord  his  God. 

Fs.  xviii,  30.  As  for  God,  his 
way  is  perfect:  the  word  of  the 
Loud  is  tried;  he  is  a  buckler  to 
all  those  that  trust  in  him. 

Fs.  xxvli,  13.  I  had  fainted, 
unless  I  had  believed  to  see  the

deemeth  the  soul  of  his  servants; 
and  none  of  them  that  trust  in 
him  shall  be  desolate. 

Fs.  xxxvi,  7.  How  excellent  is 
thy  loving -kindness,  O  God! 
therefore  the  children  of  men  put

thy  wings. 

Fs.  xxxvil,  39,  40.  But  the  sal- 
vation of  the  righteous  is  of  the 
Lord:  he  is  their  strength  in  the 
time  of  trouble.  And  the  Lord 
shall  help  them,  and  deliver  them: 
he  shall  deliver  them  from  the 
wicked,  and  save  them,  because 
they  trust  in  him. 

Ps.x\,i.  Blessed  is  that  man 
that  maketh  the  Lord  his  trust, 
and  respecteth  not  the  proud,  nor 
such  as  turn  aside  to  lies.

blessed  is  the  man  that  trusteth 
in  thee.

made  the  Lord,  which  is  my  re- 
fuge, even  the  most  High,  thy 
habitation;  There  shall  no  evil 
befall  thee,  neither  shall  any 
plague  come  nigh  thy  dwelling. 

Fs.  cxvi,  10.  I  believfd,  there- 
fore have  I  spoken:  I  was  greatly 
afflicted.

him  in  perfect  peace,  whose  mind 
is  stayed  on  thee:  because  he 
trusteth  in  thee. 

Isa.  Ivil,  13.  When  thou  criest, 
let  thy  companies  deliver  thee: 
but  the  wind  shall  carry  them  all 
away;  vanity  shall  take  them:  but 
he  that  putteth  his  trust  in  me 
shall  possess  the  land,  and  shall 
inherit  my  holy  mountain. 

Jer.  xvii,  7,  8.  Blessed  is  the 
man  that  trusteth  in  the  Lord, 
and  whose  hope  the  Lord  is:  For 
he  shall  be  as  a  tree  planted  by  the 
waters,  and  that  spreadeth  out 
her  roots  by  the  river,  and  shall 
not  see  when  heiit  cometh,  but 
her  leaf  shall  be  green;  and  shall 
not  be  careful  in  the  year  of

yieldiug  fruit.

performance  of  those  things

John  iii,  15,  16,  18,  36.  That 
whosoever  belie  veth  in  him 
Bhould  not  perish,  but  have  eter- 
nal life.  For  God  so  loved  the 
world,  that  he  gave  his  only  be- 
gotten Son,  that  whosoever  be- 
lieveth  In  him  should  not  perish, 
but  have  everlasting  life.  He  that 
believeth  on  him  is  not  condemn- 
ed: but  he  that  believeth  not  is 
condemned  already,  because  he 
hath  not  believed  in  the  name  of 
the  only  begotten  Son  of  God.  He 
that  believeth  on  the  Son  hath 
everlasting  life:  and  he  that  be- 
lieveth not  the  Son  shall  not  see 
life;  but  the  wrath  of  God  abideth 
on  hini. 

John  V,  24.  Verily,  verily,  I  say 
unto  you,  He  that  heareth  my 
word,  and  believeth  on  him  that 
Bent  me,  hath  everlasting  life,  and

but  is  passed  from  death  unto 
life. 

John  vi,  40,  47.  And  this  is  the 
will  of  him  that  sent  me,  that 
every  one  which  seeth  the  Son, 
and  believeth  on  him,  may  have 
everlasting  life:  and  I  will  raise 
him  up  at  the  last  day.  Verily, 
verily,  I  say  unto  you,  He' that 
believeth  on  me  hath  everlasting 
life. 

John  xiv,  12.  Verily,  verily,  «I 
say  unto  you,  He  tliat  believeth 
on  me,  the  works  that  I  do  sliall 
he  do  also;  and  greater  works 
than  these  shall  he  do;  because  I 
go  unto  my  Father. 

John  XX,  29.  Jesus  saith  unto 
hlni,  Thomas,  because  thou  hast 
Been  me,  thou  hast  believed: 
blessed  are  they  that  have  not 
Been,  and  yet  have  believed. 

Acts  X,  43.  To  him  give  all  the

for  a  light,  and  sprang  in,  and 
came  trembling,  and  fell  down 
before  Paul  and  Silas,  And

what  must  1  do  to  be  saved?  And 
they  said,  Believe  on  the  Ltird 
Jesus  Christ,  and  thou  shalt  be 
saved,  and  thy  house.  And  they 
spake  unto  him  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  and  to  all  that  were  in  his 
bouse. 

Mom.  1,  17.    For  therem  Is  the 


REDEMPTION. 

righteousness  of  God  revealed 
from  faith  to  faith:  as  It  is  writ- 
ten. The  just  shall  live  by  faith. 

Eom.  iv,  3,  22.  For  what  saith 
the  scripture?  Abraham  believed 
God,  and  it  was  counted  unto  him 
for  righteousness.  And  there- 
fore it  was  imputed  to  htm  for 
righteousness. 

Eom.  V,  1,  2.  Therefore,  being 
justified  by  faith,  we  have  peace 
with  God  through  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ:  By  whom  also  we  have 
access  by  faith  into  this  grace 
wherein  we  stand,  and  rejoice  in 
hope  of  the  glory  of  God. 

2  Cor.  i,  24.  Not  for  that  we 
have  dominion  over  your  faith, 
but  are  helpers  of  your  joy:  for  by 
faith  ye  stand. 

Gal.  iii,  6-9.  Even  as  Abraham 
believed  God,  and  it  was  account- 
ed to  him  for  righteousness. 
Know  ye  therefore  that  they 
which  are  of  faith,  the  same  are 
the  children  of  Abraham.  And 
the  scripture,  foreseeing  that  God 
would  justify  the  heathen  through 
faith,  preached  before  the  gospel 
unto  Abraham,  saying,  In  thee 
shall  all  nations  be  blessed.  So 
then  they  which  be  of  faith  are 
blessed  with  faithful  Abraham. 

Eph.  ii,  8.  For  by  grace  are  ye 
saved  through  faith;  and  that  not 
of  yourselves:  it  is  the  gift  of 
God. 

Titus  iii,  7.  That,  being  justified 
by  his  grace,  we  should  be  made 
heirs  according  to  the  hope  of 
eternal  life. 

Ileb.  xi,  31.  By  faith  the  harlot 
Rahab  perished  not  with  them 
that  believed  not,  when  she  had 
received  the  spies  with  peace. 

James  ii,  23.  And  the  scripture 
was  fulfilled  which  saith,  Abra- 
ham believed  God,  and  it  was 
imputed  unto  him  for  righteous- 
ness: and  he  was  called  the  Friend 
of  God. 

1  Peter  i,  8,  Whom  having  not 
seen,  ye  love;  in  whom,  tljough 
now  yo  see  him  not,  yet  believ- 
ing, ye  rejoice  with  joy  unspeak- 
able, and  full  of  glory. 
1  John  V,  9, 10.  If  we  receive  the 
witness  of  men,  the  witness  of 
God  is  greater:  for  this  is  the  wit- 
ness of  God  which  he  hath  testi- 
fied of  his  Son,  He  that  believeth 
on  the  Son  of  God  hath  the  wit- 
ness in  himself:  he  that  believeth 
not  God  hath  made  him  a  liar,  be- 
cause he  believeth  not  the  record 
that  God  gave  of  his  Son. 

JUSTIFICATION  NOT  BY 
WORKS. 

Job  ix,  2, 3.  I  know  it  is  so  of  a 
truth:    hut  how  should  man    be 
just  with  God?    If  he  wiil  contend 
with  him,  he  cannot  answer  him  { 
one  ot  a  thousand.  { 


Isa.  Ivil,  12.  I  will  declare  thy 
righteousness,  and  thy  works;  for 
they  shall  not  profit  thee 

Eovi.  iv,  1,  2,  4.  What  shall  wo 
then  say  that  Abraham,  our  father 
as  pertaining  to  the  flesh,  hath 
found?  For  if  Abraham  were 
justified  by  works,  he  hath  where' 
of  to  glory,  but  not  before  God. 
Now  to  him  that  worketh  is  the 
reward  not  reckoned  of  grace, 
but  of  debt. 

Eom.  vii,  1.  Know  ye  not,  breth- 
ren, (for  I  speak  to  them  that 
know  the  law,)  how  that  the  law 
hath  dominion  over  a  man  as  long 
as  he  liveth? 

Eom.  xi,  6.  And  if  by  grace, 
then  is  it  no  more  of  works: 
otherwise  grace  is  no  more  grace. 
But  if  it  be  of  works,  then  is  it  no 
more  grace:  otherwise  work  is  no 
more  work. 

Gal.  iii,  10--12,  21.  For  as  many 
as  are  of  the  works  of  the  law  are 
under  the  curse:  for  it  is  written. 
Cursed  is  every  one  that  continu- 
eth  not  in  all  things  which  are 
written  in  the  book  of  the  law  to 
do  them.  But  that  no  man  is 
justified  by  the  law  In  the  sight 
of  God,  it  is  evident:  for.  The 
just  shall  live  by  faith.  And  the 
law  is  not  of  faith:  but.  The  man 
that  doeth  them  shall  live  in 
them.  Is  the  law  then  against 
the  promises  of  God?  God  forbid: 
for  if  there  had  been  a  law  given 
which  could  have  given  life, 
verily  righteousness  should  have 
been  by  the  law. 

Gal.  iv,  21-23.  Tell  me,  ye  that 
desire  to  be  under  the  law,  do  yo 
not  hear  the  law?  For  it  is  writ- 
ten, that  Abraham  had  two  sons, 
the  one  by  a  bond  maid,  the  other 
by  a  free  woman.  But  he  w/io 
was  of  the  bond  woman  was  bora 
after  the  flesh;  but  he  of  the  free 
woman  was  by  promise. 

Gal.  V,  4.  Christ  is  become  of 
no  eflect  unto  you,  whosoever  of 
you  are  justified  by  the  law;  ye 
are  fallen  from  grace. 

EpJi.  ii,  9.  Not  of  works  lest 
any  man  should  boast. 

Jam^s  ii,  10-12.  For  whosoever 
shall  keep  the  wliole  law,  and  yet 
offend  in  one  point,  he  is  guilty  of 
all.  For  he  that  said.  Do  not 
commit  adultery,  said  also.  Do 
not  kill.  Now,  if  thou  commit  no 
adultery,  yet  it  thou  kill,  thou  art 
become  a  transgressor  of  the  law. 
So  speak  ye,  and  so  do,  as  they 
that  shall  be  judged  by  the  law  of 
liberty. 

BUT  BY  FAITH  BRINGING 
RIGHTEOUSNESS, 

Fs.  Ixxi,  16, 17.  I  will  go  in  the 
strength  of  the  Lord  Goo;  I  will 
make  mention  of  thy  rigiiteous- 
ness,  even  of  thine  only.    O  God, 


REDEMPTION. 


thou  hast  tanght  me  from  niy 
youth:  and  hittietto  have  I  declar- 
ed tliy  wondrous  works. 

Isa.  i,  27.  Zion  shall  be  redeem- 
ed with  judgment,  and  her  con- 
Terts  with  righteousness. 

Isa.  xlv,  24,  25.  Surely,  shall 
<nie  say,  In  the  LoRp  have  I  right- 
eousness and  strength:  even  to 
him  shall  men  come;  and  all  that 
are  Incensed  against  him  shall  be 
asliamed.  In  the  Lobd  shall  all 
the  seed  of  Israel  be  juatified,  and 
Bhall  glory. 

Isa.  xlvi,  12. 13.  Hearken  unto 
me,  ye  stout-hearted,  that  are  far 
from  rigliteousness:  I  bring  near 
my  riorhteousness;  it  shall  not  be 
far  off,  and  my  salvation  shall  not 
tarry:  and  I  will  place  salvation 
In  Zion  for  Israel  my  glory.     .„. 

Eom.  iii,  21,  22,  27,  28-  But  now 
the  righteousness  of  God  without 
the  law  is  manifested,  being  wit- 
nessed by  the  law  and  the  pro- 
phets; Even  the  righteousness  of 
God,  which  is  by  faith  of  Jesus 
Christ  unto  all  and  upon  all  them 
that  believe;  for  there  is  no 
difference:  Where  is  boasting 
then?  It  is  excluded.  By  what 
law?  of  works?  Nay;  but  by  the 
law  of  faith.  Therefore  we  con- 
clude, that  a  man  is  justified  by 
faith  without  the  deeds  of  the 
law. 

Ii07n.  iv,  5.  6,  13.  But  to  him 
that  worketh  not,  but  believeth 
on  him  that  justifieth  the  ungodly, 
his  faith  is  counted  for  rig-hteous- 
ness.  Even  as  David  also  de- 
scribeth  the  blessedness  of  the 
man,  unto  whom  God  imputelh 
righteousness  without  works. 
For  the  promise,  that  he  should 
be  the  heir  of  the  world,  loas  not 
to  Abraham,  or  to  his  seed, 
througli  the  law,  but  through  the 
righteousness  of  faith. 

Bom.  viii,  4.  That  the  right- 
eousness of  the  law  might  be  ful- 
filled in  us,  who  walk  not  after  the 
flesh,  bun  after  the  Spirit. 

Bom.  X,  4-8.  For  Christ  is  the 
end  of  the  law  for  righteousness 
to  every  one  that  bellcveth.  For 
Moses  describeth  the  righteous- 
ness which  is  of  the  law,  That  the 
man  which  doeth  those  things 
ahall  live  by  them.  But  the 
righteousness  which  is  of  faith 
Bpeaketh  on  this  wise,  Say  not  in 
thine  heart,  Who  shall  ascend 
Into  heaven?  (that  is,  to  bring 
Christ  down  fi-om  above;)  Or, 
Who  shall  descend  into  the  deep? 
(that  is,  to  bring  up  Christ  again 
from  the  dead )  But  what  saith 
It?  The  word  is  nigh  thee,  even 
In  thy  mouth,  and  in  thy  heart; 
that  is,  the  word  of  faith  which 
we  preach. 

Phil.  Ill,  7-9.  But  what  things 
were  gain  to  mo,  those  1  counted 


loss  for  Christ.  Yea  doubtless, 
and  I  count  all  things  but  loss  lor 
the  excellency  of  the  knowledge 
of  Christ  Jesus  my  Lord:  tor 
whom  I  have  suffered  the  loss  of 
all  things,  and  do  count  them  but 
dung,  that  I  may  win  Christ, 
And  be  found  in  him,  not  having 
mine  own  righteousness,  which 
is  of  the  law,  but  that  which  is 
through  the  faith  of  Christ,  the 
righteousness  which  is  of  God  by 
faith. 

liev.  ill,  18.  I  counsel  thee  to 
buy  of  me  gold  tried  in  the  fire, 
that  thou  mayest  be  rich;  and 
white  raiment,  that  thou  mayest 
be  clothed,  and  that  the  shame  of 
thy  nakedness  do  not  appeal; 
and  anoint  thine  eyes  with  eye- 
salve,  that  thou  mayest  see. 

Bev.  xix,  8.  And  to  her  was 
granted  that  she  should  be  array- 
ed in  fine  linen,  clean  and  white: 
for  the  fine  linen  is  the  righteous- 
ness of  saints. 

Bom.  Iii,  31.  Do  we  then  make 
void  the  law  through  faith?  God 
forbid:  yea,  we  establish  the  law. 
Bom.  iv,  14-17.  For  if  they 
which  are  of  the  law  be  heirs, 
faith  is  made  void,  and  the  pro- 
mise made  of  none  effect.  Be- 
cause the  law  worketh  wrath:  for 
where  no  law  is,  there  is  no  trans- 
gression. Therefore  it  is  of  faith, 
that  it  might  be  by  grace;  to  the 
end  the  promise  might  be  sure  to 
all  the  seed:  not  to  that  only 
which  is  of  the  law,  but  to  that 
also  which  is  of  the  faith  of  Abra- 
ham, who  is  the  father  of  us  all, 
(As  it  is  written,  I  have  made  thee 
a  father  of  many  nations,)  before 
him  whom  he  believed,  even  God, 
who  quickeneth  the  dead,  and 
calleth  those  things  which  be  not 
as  though  they  were. 

Bom.  vi,  14,  15.  For  sin  shall 
not  have  dominion  over  you:  for  ye 
are  not  under  the  law,  but  under 
grace.  What  then?  shall  we  sin, 
because  we  are  not  under  the 
law,  but  under  grace?  God  for- 
bid. 

Bom.  viiL  33.  Who  shall  lay  any 
thing  to  the  charge  of  God's  elect? 
/«  is  God  that  justifieth. 

2  Cor.  iv,  13.  We  having  the 
same  spirit  of  faith,  according  as 
it  is  written,  I  believed,  and  there- 
fore have  I  spoken;  we  also  be- 
lieve, and  therefore  speak. 

Gal.  Hi,  1-4,  23.  O  foolish  Gala- 
tians,  who  hath  bewitched  you, 
that  ye  should  not  obey  the  truth, 
before  whose  eyes  Jesus  Christ 
hath  been  evidently  set  forth,  cru- 
cified among  you?  This  only 
would  I  learn  of  you.  Received  ye 
the  Spirit  by  the  works  of  the  law 
or  by  the  hearing, of  faith?  Are 
ye  so  foolish?  liuving  begun  in 
604 


the  Spirit,  are  ye  now  made  per- 
fect by  the  flesh?  Have  ye  suf- 
fered so  many  things  in  vain?  if 
it  be  yet  in  vain.  But  before  faith 
came,  we  were  kept  under  the 
law,  shut  up  unto  the  faith  which 
should  afterwards  be  revealed. 

James  ii,  20.  But  wilt  thnn 
know,  O  vain  man,  that  faith 
without  works  is  dead? 

FAITH  OP  MIRACLES. 

3Iatt  xiii,  58.  And  he  did  not 
many  mighty  works  there  because 
of  their  unbelief. 

3Mt.  xxi,  21.  Jesus  answered 
and  said  unto  them.  Verily  I  say 
unto  you,  If  ye  have  faith,  and 
doubt  riot,  ye  shall  not  only  do 
this  which  is  done  to  the  fig  tree, 
but  also  if  ye  shall  say  to  this 
mountain,  Be  thou  removed,  and 
be  tliou  cast  into  the  sea;  it  shall 
be  done. 

Ilark  ix,  23,  24.  Jesus  said  unto 
him.  If  thou  canst  believe,  all 
things  are  possible  to  him  that 
believeth.  And  straightw,^ay  the 
father  of  the  child  cried  out,  and 
said  with  tears.  Lord,  I  believe; 
help  thou  mine  unbelief. 

3Iar7c  xi,  23.  For  verily  I  say 
unto  you.  That  whosoever  shall 
say  unto  this  mountain,  Be  thou 
removed,  and  be  thou  cist  into 
the  sea,  and  shall  not  doubt  in  his 
heart,  but  shall  believe  that  those 
things  which  he  saith  shall  come 
to  pass:  he  shall  have  whatsoever 
he  saith. 

Luke  vii,  50.  And  he  said  to  the 
woman.  Thy  laith  hath  saved  thee;

Luke  viii,  48.  And  he  said  unto 
her.  Daughter,  be  of  good  com- 
fort: thy  faith  hath  made  thee 
whole;  go  in  peace. 

Luke  xvii,  6, 19.  And  the  Lord 
said,  If  ye  had  taith  as  a  grain  of 
mustard-seed,  ye  might  say  unto 
this  sycamine-tree.  Be  thou  pluck- 
ed up  by  the  root,  and  be  thou 
planted  in  the  sea;  and  it  should 
obey  you.  And  he  said  unto  him. 
Arise,  go  thj  way:  thy  faith  hath 
made  thee  whole. 

John  xi,  40.  Jesus  saith  unto 
her,  Said  1  not  unto  thee,  that,  if 
thou  wouldest  believe,  thou 
shouldest  see  the  glory  of  God? 

Bom.  iv,  18-21,  Who  against 
hope  believed  in  hope,  that  he 
might  become  the  father  of  many 
nations,  according  to  that  which 
was  spoken.  So  shall  thy  seed  be. 
And  being  not  weak  in  faith,  he 
considered  not  his  own  body  now 
dead,  when  he  was  about  an  hun- 
dred years  old,  neither  yet  the 
ileadness  of  Sarah's  womb:  '  He 
staggered  not  at  the  promise  of 
God  tlirough  unbelief;  but  was 
strong  in  faith,  givhig  glory  to 


God;  And  beta?  fnlly  persnaded 
tbat  what  he  had  promised  he 
was  able  also  to  pei  torm. 

Gal.  ill,  5.  He  therefore  that 
ministereth  to  you  the  Spirit,  and 
worketli  miracles  amoug  you,  do- 
eth  he  it  by  the  works  of  the  law, 
or  by  the  hearing  of  faith? 

Heb.  xi,  29.  By  faith  they  passed 
through  the  Red  sea  as  by  dry 
land;  whicli  the  Egyptians  assay- 
ing to  do  were  drowned. 

THE  FIRST  AND  SECOND     ; 
ADAM. 

Horn.  V,  15-21,  But  not  as  the 
offence,  so  also  is  the  free  gift. 
For  if  through  the  offence  of  one 
many  be  dead;  much  more  the 
grace  of  God,  and  the  gift  by 
grace,  tvhic/i  is  by  one  man,  Jesus 
Christ,  has  abounded  unto  many. 
And  not  as  it  vsaa  by  one  that 
sinned,  so  is  the  gift:  for  the  judg- 
ment was  by  one  to  condemnatiou: 
but  the  free  gilt  is  of  many  of- 
fences unto  justification.  For  if 
by  one  man's  offence  death  reigned 
by  one ;  much  more  tliey  which 
receive  abundance  of  grace,  and 
of  the  gift  of  righteousness, 
shall  reign  in  life,  by  one,  Jesus 
Clirist.  Therefore,  as  by  the 
otfduce  of  one  judgment  came 
upon  all  men  to  condemnation ; 
even  so  by  the  righteousness  of  one 
the  free  gift  came  upon  all  men 
uuto  justincaliou  of  lite.  For  at  by 
one  man's  disubedieuce  many  were 
made  sinners;  so  by  the  obedience 
of  one  shall  many  be  made  right- 
eous. Moreover,  the  law  entered, 
that  the  offence  might  abound : 
but  where  sin  abounded,  grace  did 
much  more  abound:  That  as  sin 
haih  reigned  unto  death,  even  so 
might  grace  reign  through  right- 
eousness  unto  eternal  lite  by  Je- 
sus (jhrist  our  Lord. 

JUSTIFICATION  NOT  OP 

WOllKS,  BUT  LEADING  TO 

GOOD  WORKS. 

Leut.  vl,  25.  And  it  shall  be  our 
righteousness,  if  we  observe  to  do 
all  tliese  commandments  before 
the  Lord  our  God,  as  he  hathcom- 
manded  us. 

Fs.  XV,  1-4.  Lord,  who  shall  abide 
In  thy  tabernacle?  who  shall  dwell 
in  tliy  holy  hill?  He  that  walketh 
uprightly,  and  worketh  righteous- 
ness, and  speakeththe  truth  in  his 
heart.  He  that  backbiteth  not 
with  his  tongue,  nor  doeth  evil  to 
his  neiglibour,  nor  taketh  up  a 
reproacu  against  his  neighbour. 
In  whose  eyes  a  vile  person  is  con- 
temned; but  he  honoureth  them 
that  lear  the  Loud:  he  that  swear- 
eth  to  lus  own  hurt,  and  changeth 
Dot.

I  not  evil,  that  ye  may  live;  and  so 

j  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Hosts,  shall 

I  be  with  you,  as  ye  have  spoken. 

Hate  the  evil,  and  love  the  good, 

and    establish  judgment    in    the 

gate:  It  may  be  that  the  Lord  God 

of  Hosts  will  be  gracious  unto  the 

remnant  of  Joseph. 

Mic.  vi,  8.  He  hath  shewed  thee, 
O  man,  what  is  good :  and  what 
doth  the  LoBo  require  of  thee,  but 
to  do  justly,  and  to  love  mercy, 
and  to  walk  humbly  with  thy 
God?  ' 

Luke  vlii,  21.  And  he  answered

Luke  X,  25-29.  And,  behold,  a 
certain  lawyer  stood  up,,  and 
tempted  him,  saying,  Master,  what 
shall  I  do  to  inherit  eternal  hfe  ? 
He  said  unto  him,  What  is  written, 
in  the  law?  How  readest  thou?' 
And  he  answering  said.  Thou 
slialt  love  the  Lord  thy  God  with 
ail  thy  heart,  and  with  all  thy 
soul,  and  with  all  thy  strength, 
and  with  all  thy  mind;  and  thy 
neighbour  as  thyself.  And  he 
said  unto  him.  Thou  hast  answered 
right:  this  do,  and  thou  shalt  live. 
But  he,  willing  to  justify  himself, 
said  uuto  Jesu?;,  And  who  is  my 
neighbour?

them. 

John  XV,  14.  Ye  are  my  friends, 
If  ye  do  whatsoever  I  command 
you. 

Eom.  ii,  13.  For  not  the  hearers 
of  the  law  are  just  before  God, 
but  the  doera  of  the  law  shall  be 
justified. 

Rom.  X,  5.  For  Moses  describeth 
the  righteousness  which  is  of  the 
law,  Tliat  the  man  which  doeth 
those  things  shall  live  by  them. 

Gal.  vi,  4,  5.  But  let  every  man

Yet  no  Merit  in  Man. 
Job  xxli,  2-4.'  Can  a  man  b« 
profitable  unto  God,  as  he  that  ii 
wise  may  be  profitable  unto  him- 
self? Is  it  any  pleasure  to  th< 
Almighty,  that  thou  art  righteous! 
or  is  it  gain  to  him,  that  thou 
makest  thy  ways  perfect?  Wil] 
he  reprove  thee  for  fear  of  theel 
will  he  enter  with  thee  into  judg- 
ment? 

'_Jdb  XXXV,  5-8.  Look  unto  the 
heavens,  and  see;  and  behold  the

thou.  If  thou  sinnest,  what  doest 
thou  against  him?  or  if  thy  trans- 
gressions be  multiplied,  what 
doest  thou  unto  him?  If  thou  be 
righteous,  what  givest  thou  him! 
or  what  receiveth  he  of  thine 
hand?  Tliy  wickedness  may  hurt 
a  man  as  thou  art,  and  thy  right- 
eousness may  profit  the  son  ol

Ps.  xvi,  2.  3.  0  my  soul,  thou 
hast  said  unto  the  Lord,  Thou

Lzike  xvii,  10.  So  likewise  ye, 
when  ye  shall  have  done  all  those 
things  which  are  commanded

servants:  we  have  done  that 
which  was  our  duty  to  do. 


Eccles.  vii,  16-18.  Be  not  right- 
eous over-much;  neither  make 
thyself  over-wise:  why  shouldest 
thou  destroy  thysell?  Bo  not

BLESSINGS  OF  PENITENCE. 
Deut.  xxx,  1-5.  And  it  shall  come 
to  pass,  when  all  these  things  are 
come  upon  thee,  the  blessing  and 
the  curse,  which  I  have  set  before 
thee,  and  thou  shalt  call  the7n  to 
mind  among  aU  the  nations  whither 
the  LoED  thy  God  hath  driven 
thee.  And  shalt  return  unto  the 
Lord  thy  God,  and  shalt  obey  hi3 
voice,  according  to  all  that  I  com- 
mand thee  this  day,  thou  and  thy 
children,  with  all  thine  heart,  and 
with  all  thy  soul;  That  then  the 


Lord  thy  God  will  turn  thy  capti- 
vity, and  have  coniiJ^ission  upon 
thee,  and  will  return  and  gather 
thee  from  all  tlie  nations,  whither 
the  LoKD  thy  God  hath  scattered 
thee.  If  any  of  thine  be  driven 
out  unto  tlie  outmost  parts  of 
heaven,  from  thence  will  the  Lord 
thy  God  gather  thee,  and  from 
thence  will  he  fetch  tliee.  And  the

move. And  thou  Shalt  swear,  The 
Lord  liveth,  in  truth,  in  judgment, 
and  in  righteousness;  and  the  na- 
tions sliall  bless  tliemselves  in  him, 
and  in  him  shall  they  glory. 

Jer.  xxxi  19, 20.  Surely  after  that 

1  was  turned,  I  repented;  and  after 
that  I  was  instructed,  I  smote 
upon  my  thigh:  I  was  ashamed, 
yea,  even  confounded,  because  I 
did  bear  the  reproach  of  my  youth. 
Is  Ephraim  my  dear  son?  is  he  a 
pleasant  child?  for  since  I  spake 
against  him,  I  do  earnestly  re-

bowels  are  troul)led  for  him:  I  will 
Burely  have  mercy  upon  him,  saith 
the  Lord. 

Ezek.  xviii,21,22.26-28.  But  if  the 
wicked  will  turn  from  all  his  sins 
that  he  hath  committed,  and  keep 
all  my  statutes,  and  do  that  which 
Is  lawful  and  right,  he  shall  surely 
live,  ho  shall  not  die.  All  his 
transgressions  that  he  hath  com- 
mitted, they  shall  not  be  mention-

that  he  hath  done  he  shall  live. 
When  a  righteous  man  turnetli 
away  from  his  rigliteousnoss,  and 
committeth  iniquity,  and  dieth  in 
them;  for  his  iniquity  tliat  he  hath 
done  shall  he  die.  Again,  when

from  his  wickedness  tliat  he  hath 
committed,  and  doeth  tliat  wliich 
Is  lawful  and  right,  he  shall  save

Tliat  likewise  joyshall  be  in  heaven

pentance. 

GENUINE    PENITENCE    FOL- 
LOWED BY  REFORMATION. 

Job  xi,  14, 15.  If  iniquity  be  in 
thine  hand,  put  it  far  away,  and 
let  not  wickedness  dwell  in  thy

God,  for  he  will  abundantly  par- 
don.

and  to  the  inhabitants  of  Jerusa- 
lem, saying,  Tims  saith  the  Lord. 
Betiold,  I  frame  evil  against  you, 
and  devise  a  device  against  you: 
return  ye  now  every  one  from  liis 
evil  way,  and  make  your  ways 
and  your  doings  good. 

Jer.  XXV,  5.  They  said,  Turn  ye 
again  now  every  one  from  his  evil 
way,  and  from  the  evil  of  your 
doings,  and  dwell  in  the  land  that 
tlie  Lord  hath  given  unto  you  and 
to  your  lathers  for  ever  and  ever. 

Jer.  xxvl,  13.  Therefore  now 
amend  your  ways  and  your  do- 
ings, and  obey  the  voice  of  tlie 
Lord  your  God;  and  the  Lord  will 
repent  liim  of  the  evil  that  he  hath 
pronounced  against  you. 

Jer.  xxxvl,  7.  It  may  be  they 
will  present  their  supplication  be- 
fore the  Lord,  and  will  return 
every  one  from  his  evil  way:  for 
great  is  the  anger  and  the  fury 
tliat  the  Lord  hath  pronounced 
against  this  people. 

£»ek.  xxxlll,  14-16.  Again,  when 
606 


I  say  unto  the  wicked.  Thou  shalt 
surely  die;  if  lie  turn  from  his  sin, 
and  do  that  wliicli  is  lawful  and 
right;  If  the  wicked  restore  the 
pledge,  give  again  that  he  had 
robbed,  walk  in  the  statutes  of 
life,  without  committing  iniqultj^ 
he  shall  surely  live,  he  sliaU  not

committed  shall  be  ment  ioneo;  unto 
him:  he  hath  done  that  which  is 
lawful  and  right:  he  shall  surely 
live. 

Matth.  iii,  7,  8.  But  when  he  saw 
many  of  the  Pharisees  and  Saddu- 
cees  come  to  his  baptism,  he  said 
unto  them,  O  generation  of  vipers, 
who  hath  warned  you  to  flee  from 
the  WTath  to  come?  Bring  forth 
thevafore  fruits  meet  for  repent- 
ance. 

SIN  AND  CURSE  OF  IMPENI- 
TENCE. 
Prov.  xxi,  29.    A  wicked  man 
hardeneth  his  face:  but  as  for  the 
upright,  he  directeth  his  way. 

Jer.  viii,  6.  I  hearkened  and 
heard,  b%it  they  spake  not  aright: 
no  man  repented  him  of  his  wick- 
edness, saying.  What  have  I  done? 
every  one  turned  to  his  course,  as 
the  horse  rusheth  into  the  battle. 

Eeb.  vi,  10.  For  God  is  not  un- 
righteous to  forget  your  work 
and  labour  of  love,  which  ye  have 
shewed  toward  his  name,  in  that 
ye  have  ministered  to  the  Baints. 
and  do  minister. 

James  ii,  14. 17, 18.  24-26.  What 
doth  it  profit,  my  bretliren,  though 
a  man  say  he  hath  faith,  and  have 
not  works?  can  faith  save  him? 
Even  so  faith,  if  it  hath  not  works, 
is  dead,  being  alone.  Yea,  a  man 
may  say,  Tliou  hast  faith,  and  I 
have  works:  shew  me  thy  faith 
without  thy  works,  and  I  will 
sliew  thee  my  faith  by  my  works. 
Ye  see  then  liow  that  by  works  a 
man  is  justified,  and  not  by  faith 
only.  Likewise  also,  was  not 
Rahab  the  harlot  justified  by 
works,  when  she  had  received  the 
messengers,  and  had  sent  them 
but  another  way?  For  as  the 
body  without  the  spirit  is  dead, 
so  faith  without  works  is  dead 
also.

ceive damage  by  us  in  nothing.

repented  of:  but  the  sorrow  of  the 
world  worketh  death.

statutes,  that  I  set  before  you, 
and  before  your  fathers.

most  of  his  mighty  works  were 
done,  because  they  repented  not.

unto  thee,  Bethsaida!  for  if  the 
mighty  works,  which  were  done 
in  you,  had  been  done  in  Tyre  and 
Sidon,  they  would  have  repented 
long  ago  in  sackcloth  and  ashes.

In  Jerusalem?  I  tell  you,  Nay:

likewise  perish.  Strive  to  enter 
In  at  the  strait  gate;  for  many  I 
Bay  unto  you,  will  seek  to  enter 
In,  and  shall  not  be  able.  When 
once  the  Master  of  the  house  is 
risen  up,  and  hath  shut  to  the 
door,  and  ye  begin  to  stand  with- 
out, and  to  knock  at  the  door. 
Baying,  Lord,  Lord,  open  unto  us; 
and  he  shall  answer  and  say  unto 
you,  I  know  you  not  whence,  ye 
are:  Then  shall  ye  begin  to  say, 
We  have  eaten  and  drunk  in  thy 
presence,  and  thou  bust  taught  in 
our  streets.  But  he  shall  say,  I

already,  and  have  not  repented  of 
the  uncleanness,  and  fornication, 
and  lasciviousness,  which  they 
have  committed. 

Eeb.  xil,  17.  For  ye  know  how 
that  afterward,  when  he  would 
have  inherited  the  blessing,  he 
was  rejected:  fur  he  found  no 
place  of  repentance,  though  he 
Bought  it  caretully  with  tears.

cles; then  gilts  of  healings,  helps, 
governments,  diversities  of 
tongues.  Are,  all  apostles?  are

pret? But  covet  earnestly  the 
best  gilts:  and  yet  shew  1  unto 
you  a  more  excellent  way,

chosen  of  the  churches  to  travel 
with  us  with  this  grace,  which  is 
administered  by  us  to  the  glory 
of  the  same  Lord,  and  declaration

partner  and  fellow-helper  concern-

quired of,  they  are  the  messengers

boasting  on  your  behalf.

saints,  and  prevailed  against  them; 
Until  tlie  Ancient  of  days  came, 
and  judgment  was  given  to  the 
saints  ot  the  most  High;  and  the 
time  came  tbat  the  saints  pos-

but  judge  this  rather,  that  no  man 
put  a  stumblinghhick,  or  an  occa- 
sion to  fall,  in  his  brother's  way. 
But  if  thy  brother  be  grieved  with

law  to  God,  but  under  the  law  to 
Christ,)  that  I  might  gain  them 
that  are  without  law.  To  the  weak 
became  I  as  weak,  that  I  might 
gain  the  weak:  I  am  made  all 
tilings  to  all  men,  that  I  might  by 
all  means  save  some.  And  tLils  r  do

be  partaker  therefore  with  you.

overtaken  in  a  fault,  ye  which  are 
spiritual  restore  such  an  one  in 
the  spirit  of  meekness;  consider 
ing  thyself,  lest  thou  also  be 
tempted.  Bear  ye  one  another's 
burdens,  and  so  fulfil  the  law  of 
Christ. 

And  therefore  False  Doctrine 
AND  Heresy  to  be  Avoided. 
Matth.  XV,  13.  But  he  answered 
and  said.  Every  plant,  which  my 
heavenly  Father  hath  not  planted, 
shall  be  rooted  up, 


Matth.  xxiii,  15.  Woe  unto  yon, 
scribes  and  Pharisees,  hypocrlies! 
for  ye  compass  sea  and  land  to 
make  one  proselyte;  and  wle'i  lie 
Is  made,  ye  make  him  two-fold 
more  the  child  of  hell  than  your- 
selves. 

Eph.  iv,  14.  That  we  henceforth 
be  no  more  cliildren,  tossed  to  and 
fro,  and  carried  about  with  every 
wind  of  doctrine,  by  the  sleiglit  of 
men,  and  cunning  craftiness, 
whereby  they  lie  in  wait  to  de- 
ceive. 

Eph.  V,  10.  Proving  what  is  ac- 
ceptable unto  the  Lord. 

Qol.  ii,  4.  And  this  I  say.  lest 
any  man  should  beguile  you  with 
enticing  words. 

1  Thess.  V,  21.  Prove  all  things: 
hold  fast  that  which  is  good. 

1  Tim.  \,  3-7.  As  I  besought  thee 
to  abide  still  at  Epliesus,  when  I 
went  into  Macedonia,  that  thou 
mightest  charge  some  that  they 
teach  no  other  doctrine.  Neither 
give  heed  to  fables  and  endless  ge- 
nealogies, which  minister  ques- 
tions, ralher  than  godly  edifying 
which  is  in  faith;  so  do,  Now  the 
end  of  the  commandment  Is  char- 
ity out  of  a  pure  heart,  and  of  a. 
good  conscience,  and  of  faith  un- 
feigned: From  which  some  having 
swerved,  have  turned  aside  unto 
vain  jangling;  Desiring  to  be 
teachers  of  the  law;  understanding 
neither  what  they  say,  nor  where- 
of they  affirm. 

1  Tim.  iv,  7.  But  refuse  profane 
and  old  wives'  fables,  and  exercise 
thyself  rather  unto  godliness, 

1  Tim.  vi,  3-5.  20.    If  any  man 

teach  otherwise,  and  consent  not 
to  wholesome  words,  even  the 
words  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
and  to  the  doctrine  which  is  ac- 
cording to  godliness.  He  is  proud, 
knowing  nothing,  but  doting  about 
questions  and  strifes  of  words, 
whereof  cometh  envy,  strife,  rail- 
ings, evil  surmisingg,  Perverse 
disputings  of  men  of  corrupt 
minds,  and  destitute  of  the  truth, 
supposing  that  gain  is  godliness: 
from  such  withdraw  thyself.  O 
Timothy,  keep  that  which  is  com- 
mitted to  thy  trust,  avoiding  pro- 
fane and  vain  babblings,  and  op- 
positions of  science  falsely  so 
called. 

2  Tim.  Ii,  14, 16, 17, 23.  Of  these 
things  put  them  in  remembrance, 
charging  them  before  the  Lord 
that  they  strive  not  about  words 
to  no  profit,  but  to  the  subverting 
of  the  iiearers.  But  shun  profane 
and  vain  babblings;  for  they  will 
increase  unto  more  ungodliness. 
And  their  word  will  eat  as  doth  a 
canker:  of  whom  is  Hymeneus  and 
Philetus;  But  foolish  and  unlearn- 
ed questions  avoid,  knowing  that 
they  do  gender  strifes. 

609 


Titus  m,  9-11.  But  avoid  fool- 
Ish  questions,  and  genealogies, 
and  contentions,  and  strivings 
about  the  law;  for  they  are  unpro- 
fituble  and  vain.  A  man  that  is 
an  heretic,  after  he  first  and 
second  admonition,  reject;  Know- 
ing that  he  that  is  such  is  sutx- 
verted,  and  sinnotli,  being  con- 
demned of  himself. 

Heb.  xiii,  9.  Be  not  carried  about 
with  divers  and  stange  doctrines. 
For  it  is  a  good  tiling  that  the 
heart  be  established  with  grace; 
not  with  meats,  which  have  not 
profited  them  that  have  been  oc- 
cupied therein. 

1  John  iv,  6.  We  are  of  God:  he 
that  knuweth  God  heareth  us;  he 
thit  is  not  of  God  hearetli  not  us. 
Hereby  know  we  the  spirit  of 
truth,  and  the  spirit  of  error. 

2  John  10,  11.  If  there  come 
any  unto  you,  and  bring  not  this 
doctrine, receive  him  not  into  your 
house,  neitlier  bid  him  God  speed: 
For  he  that  biddeth  him  God  speed 
is  partaker  of  ids  evil  deeds. 

And  fob  Mutual  Sympathy  and 
Love. 

Isa.  xxix,  23  But  when  he  seeth 
his  children,  tlie  work  of  mine 
hands,  in  the  midst  of  him,  they 
shall  sanctify  my  name,  and  sane- 
tify  ttie  Holy  One  of  Jacob,  and 
shall  fear  the  God  of  Israel. 

John  xiii,  34,  35.  A  new  com- 
mauiimeut  I  give  unto  you,  That 
ye  love  one  another;  as  I  have 
loved  you,  that  ye  also  love  one 
another.  By  this  shall  all  meri 
know  that  j'e  are  my  uisciples,  if 
you  have  love  one  to  another. 

John  XV,  12, 17.  This  is  my  com- 
mandment, Tliat  ye  love  one  ao- 
otlier,  as  1  have  hoved  you.  These 
things  I  command  you,  that  ye 
love  one  another. 

Gal.  vi,  10.  As  we  have  therefore 
opportunity,  let  us  do  good  unto 
all  men,  especially  unto  them  who 
are  of  the  household  of  faith. 

Col.  il,  5.  For  thougli  I  be  ab- 
sent in  the  flesh,  yet  am  I  with  you 
in  spirit,  joying  and  beholuing 
your  order,  and  the  steadfastness 
of  your  faith  in  Christ. 

1  Thess.  iv,  9, 10.  But  as  touching 
brotherly  love,  ye  need  not  that  I 
write  unto  you;  for  ye  yourselves 
are  taught  of  God  to  Icve  one  an- 
other. And  indeed  ye  do  it  to- 
ward all  the  brethren  which  are  in 
all  Macedonia;  but  we  beseech  you, 
bretliren,  that  ye  increase  more 
and  more. 

Fhil.  20.  Yea,  brother,  let  me 
have  joy  of  thee  in  the  Lord:  re- 
fresh my  bowels  in  the  Lord. 

1  Fet.  1,  22 See  that  ye 

love  one  another  with  a  pure  heart 
fervently. 


REDEMPTIOIT. 


1  John  Iv,  7,  8.  20.  21.  Bftlovei, 
let  us  love  one  another :  tor  love 
Is  of  God;  and  every  one  that  lov- 
eth  is  born  of  God,  and  knoweth 
God.  He  thatloveth  not,  knoweth 
not  God;  for  God  is  love.  If  a 
man  say,  I  love  God,  and  liateth 
his  brother,  he  ia  a  liar:  for  he 
that  loveth  not  his  brother  whom 
he  hath  seen,  how  can  he  love  God 
■whom  he  hath  not  seen?  And  this 
commandment  have  we  from  him, 
Tliat  he  who  loveth  God  love  his 
brother  also. 

1  John  V,  2.  3.  By  this  we  know 
that  we  love  the  children  of  God, 
when  we  love  God,  and  keep  his 
commandments:  for  this  is  the  love 
of  G  od  that  we  keep  his  command- 
ments; and  his  commandments 
are  not  grievous. 

2  John  3-6.  Grace  be  with  you, 
mercy,  and  peace,  from  God  the 
Father,  and  from  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  the  Son  of  the  Father,  in 
truth  and  love.  I  rejoiced  greatly 
that  I  found  of  thy  children  walk- 
ing in  truth,  as  we  have  received 
a  commandment  from  the  Fatlier. 
And  now  I  beseech  thee,  lady,  not 
as  though  I  wrote  a  new  com- 
mandment unto  thee,  but  that 
which  we  had  from  the  beginning, 
that  we  love  one  another.  And 
this  is  love,  that  we  walk  after  his 
commandments.  This  is  the  com- 
mandment, That,  as  ye  have 
heard  fjom  the  beginning,  ye 
should  walk  in  it. 

3  Johns, 4.  Fori  rejoiced  greatly, 
when  the  brethren  came  and  tes- 
tified of  the  truth  that  is  in 
thee,  even  as  thou  walkest  in  the 
truth.  1  have  no  greater  joy  than 
to  hear  that  my  childi-en  walk  in 
truth. 

THE  POWER  OF  THE 
CHURCH. 

Matt,  xviii,  17.  And  if  he  shall 
neglect  to  hear  them,  tell  it  unto 
the  church :  but  if  ho  neglect  to 
hear  the  church,  let  him  be  unto 
thee  as  a  heathen  man  and  a  pub- 
lican. 

1  Cor.  v,  2-5.  And  ye  are  puffed 
up,  and  have  not  rather  mourned, 
that  he  that  hath  done  this  deed 
might  be  taken  away  from  among 
you.  For  I,  verily,  as  absent  in 
body,  but  present  in  spirit,  have 
Judged  already,  as  though  I  were 
present,  concerning  hifti  that  hath 
so  done  this  deed,  In  the  name  of 
our  Lord  Aesus  Chri8t,when  ye  are 
gathered  together,  and  my  spirit, 
with  the  power  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ.  To  deliver  such  an  one 
unto  Satan  for  the  destruction  ot 
the  flesh,  that  the  spirit  may  be 
Bftved  lu  the  day  of  the  Lord  Je- 
sus. 

1  Tim.  ill,  14,  16.  These  things 
write  I  unto  thee,  hoping  to  come 
auto  thee  shortly:  But  if  I  tarry 


Intjg,  that  thou  mayest  know  how 
thou  oughtest  to  behave  thyself 
in  the  house  of  God,  which  is  the 
ciiurch  of  the  living  God,  tlie  pil- 
lar and  ground  of  the  truth. 

ITS  UNITY. 

liom.  XV,  4-7.  For  whatsoever 
things  were  written  aforetime 
were  written  for  our  learning;  that 
we,  through  patience  and  comfort 
of  the  scriptures  might  have  hope. 
Now  the  God  of  patience  and 
consolation  grant  you  to  be  like- 
minded  one  toward  another,  ac- 
cording to  Christ  Jesus;  That  ye 
may  with  one  mind  and  one 
mouth  glorify  God,  even  the  Fa- 
ther of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 
Wherefore  receive  ye  one  an- 
other, as  Christ  also  received  us, 
to  the  glory  of  God. 

Eph.  iv,  3.  Endeavouring  to 
keep  the  unity  of  the  Spirit  in  the 
bond  of  peace. 

Phil,  i,  27.  Only  let  your  conver- 
sation be  as  itbecometh  the  gospel 
of  Christ;  that  whether  I  come  and 
see  you,  or  else  be  absent,  I  may 
hear  of  your  alfairs,  that  ye  stand 
fast  in  one  spirit,  with  one  mind 
striving  together  for  the  faith  of 
the  gospel. 

Fhil.  ii,  1,  2.  If  there  be  there- 
fore any  consolation  in  Christ,  if 
any  comfort  of  love,  if  any  fellow- 
ship of  the  Spirit,  if  any  bowels 
and  mercies,  Fulfil  ye  my  joy,  that 
ye  be  like-minded,  having  the 
same  love,  being  of  one  accord,  of 
one  mind. 

Fhil.  iv,  1,  2.  Therefore,  my 
brethren  dearly  beloved  and 
lor/ged  for,  my  joy  and  crown,  so 
stand  fast  in  the  Lord,  my  dearly 
beloved.  I  beseech  EuoUias,  and 
beseech  Syntyche,  that  they  be  of 
the  same  mind  in  the  Lord. 

Col.  iii,  15.  And  let  the  peace  of 
God  rule  in  your  hearts,  to  the 
Avhich  also  ye  are  called  in  one 
body;  and  be  ye  thankful. 

SCHISMS  FORETOLD. 
Acts  XX,  29,  30.  For  I  know  this, 
that  after  my  departing  shall 
grievous  wolves  enter  in  among 
you,  not  sparing  the  flock.  Also 
of  your  own  selves  shall  men 
arise,  speaking  perverse  things, 
to  draw  away  disciples  after  them, 

1  Cor.  xi,  16-19.  But  if  any  man 
seem  to  be  contentious,  we  have 
no  such  custom,  neither  the 
churches  of  God.  Now  in  this 
that  I  declare  unto  you,  I  praise 
you  not,  that  ye  come  together 
not  for  the  better,  but  tor  the 
worse.  For  first  of  all,  when  ye 
come  together  in  the  church,  I 
hear  that  there  be  divisions  among 
you;  and  1  partly  btilieve  it.  For 
there  must  be  also  heresies  among  ; 
you,  that  they  which  are  ap- 1 
610 


proved  may  be  made  manifest 
among  you. 

2  Tim.  iv,  3,  4.  For  the  time  will 
come  when  they  will  not  endure 
sound  doctrine;  but  after  their 
own  lusts  shall  tney  heap  to 
themselves  teachers,  having  itch- 
ing ears:  And  they  shall  turn 
away  their  ears  from  the  truth, 
and  shall  be  turned  unto  fables. 

And  Repboved. 

1  Cor.  1,1012.  Now,!  beseech  yon, 
brethren,  by  the  name  of  our  Lord 
Jesus  Christ,  that  ye  all  speak  the 
same  thing,  and  that  there  be  no 
divisions  among  you;  but  that  ye 
be  perfectly  joined  together  in  the 
same  mind,  and  in  the  same  judg- 
ment. 

1  Cor.  1, 12.  For  it  hath  been  de- 
clared unto  me  of  you,  my  breth- 
ren, by  them  which  are  of  the 
house  of  Chloe,  that  there  are  con- 
tentions among  you.  Now  this  I 
say,  that  every  one  of  you  saith,  I 
am  of  Paul,  and  I  ot  ApoUos,  and 
I  of  Cephas,  and  I  of  Christ. 

1  Cor.  iii,  21.  Therefore  let  no 
man  glory  in  men.  For  all  things 
are  your's. 

1  Cor.  iv,  6.  And  these  things, 
brethren,  I  have  in  a  figure  trans- 
ferred to  myself  and  to  Apolloa 
for  your  sakes;  that  ye  might 
learn  in  us  not  to  think  of  men 
above  that  which  is  written,  that 
no  one  of  you  be  puflTed  up  for  one 
against  another. 

JEWISH  SECTS. 

MarTc  vili,  15, 16.  And  he  charged 
them,  saying.  Take  heed,  beware 
of  the  leaven  of  the  Pharisees, 
and  of  the  leaven  of  Herod.  And 
they  reasoned  among  themselves, 
saying.  It  is  because  we  have  no 
bread. 

Acts  xxiii,  7.  And  when  he  had 
so  said,  there  arose  a  dissension 
between  the  Pharisees  and  the 
Sadducees:  and  the  multitude  was 
divided. 

Acts  xxvi,  4,  5.  My  manner  of 
life  from  my  youth,  which  was  at 
the  first  among  mine  own  nation 
at  Jerusalem,  know  all  the  Jews; 
Which  knew  me  from  the  begin- 
ning, (if  they  would  testify.)  that, 
after  the  most  straitest  sect  of  our 
religion,  I  lived  a  Pharisee.

Barnabas  to  Tarsus,  for  to  seek 
Saul:  And  when  he  had  lound  him,

with  the  church,  and  taught  much 
people.  And  the  disciples  were

the  synagogne,  and  spake  boldly 
for  the  space  of  three  months,  dis- 
puting and  persuading  tlie  things 
concerning  the  liiugdora  of  God. 
But  when  divers  were  hardened, 
and  believed  not,  but  spake  evil 
of  that  way  hefore  the  multitude, 
he  departed  from  them,  and  sepa- 
rated the  disciples,  disputing 
daily  in  the  school  of  one  Tyran- 
nus. 

.  Acts  xxiv,  14.  But  this  I  confess 
unto  thee,  that  after  the  way 
which  they  call  heresy,  so  worsliip 
I  the  God  of  my  fathers,  believing 
all  things  which  are  written  in 
the  law  and  in  the  prophets. 

Acts  xxvi,  28,  29.  Then  Agrippa 
said  unto  Paul,  Almost  tliou  per- 
suadest  me  to  be  a  Christian.  And 
Paul  said,  I  woutd  to  God,  that 
not  only  thou,  but  also  all  that 
hear  me  this  day,  were  both  al- 
most and  altogetlier  such  as  I  am, 
except  these  bonds.

said  unto  him,  "We  neither  receiv-

thee,  neither  any  of  the  brethren 
that  came  shewed  or  spake  any 
harm  of  thee.  But  we  desire  to

for  as  concerning  this  sect,  we 
know  that  every  where  it  is  spo-

BACKSLIDING. 
Deut  xxxii,  15.  But  Jeshurun 
waxed  fat,  and  kicked :  thou  art 
waxen  fat,  thou  art  grown  thick, 
thou  art  covered  with  fatness: 
then  he  forsook  God  which  made 
him,  and  lightly  esteemed  -the 
Rock  of  his  salvation. 

2  ()hr.  xil,  1.  And  It  came  to 
pass,  when  Rehoboam  had  estab- 
lished the  kingdom,  and  had 
strengthened  himselt;  he  forsook 
the  law  of  the  Loao,  and  all  Israel 
with  him. 

Ps.  cvi,  13.  They  soon  forgat 
his  works;  they  waited  not  for  his 
counsel. 

Gal.  i,  6,  7.  I  marvel  that  ye  are 
so  soon  removed  from  him  tliat 
called  you  into  the  grace  of  Christ 
unto  another  gospel:  which  is  not 
another,  but  there  be  some  that 


trouble  you,  and  would  pervert 
the  gospel  of  Christ.

fessing, have  erred  concerning  the 
faith.   Grace  be  with  thee.  Amen. 

2  Tim.  1, 15.  This  thou  knowest, 
that  all  they  which  are  in  Asia  be

are  Phygellus  and  Hermogenes. 

2  Tim.  iv,  10.  For  Demas  hath 
forsaken  me,  tiaving  loved  this

Ps.  xxiii,  3.  He  restoreth  my 
soul:  he  leadeth  me  in  the  paths 
of  righteousness  for  his  name's 
sake. 

Isaiah  Ivli,  18.  I  have  seen  his 
ways,  and  will  heal  him;  I  will 
lead  him  also,  and  restore  com- 
forts unto  him,  and  to  his  mourn- 
ers. 

Jer.  lit,  12-14, 21-24.  Go  and  pro- 
claim  these  words^  towards  the 
north,  and  say.  Return,  thou  back- 
sliding Israel,  saith  the  Loed,  and 
I  will  not  cause  mine  anger  to  fall 
upon  you:  for  I  am  merciful,  saith 
theLoRD,  and  Iwill  not  keep  anger 
forever:  Only  acknowledge  thine 
iniquity,  that  thou  hast  trans- 
gressed against  the  Lord  thy  God, 
and  hast  scattered  thy  ways  to  the 
strangers  under  every  green  tree, 
and  ye  have  not  obeyed  my  voice, 
saith  tlie  Lord.  Turn,  O  back- 
sliding children,  saith  the  Lord; 
for  I  am  married  unto  you:  and  I 
will  take  you  one  of  a  city,  and 
two  of  a  family,  and  I  will  bring 
you  to  Zion:  A  voice  was  heard 
upon  the  high  places,  weeping awd 
supplications  of  the  children  of 
Israel:  for  they  have  perverted 
their  way,  and  they  have  forgot- 
ten the  Loud  their  God.  Return, 
ye  backsliding  children,  and  1 
will  heal  your  backslidings.  Be- 
hold, we  come  unto  thee;  for  thou 
art  the  Lord  our  God.  Truly  in 
vain  is  salvation  hoped  for  from 
the  hills,  and  from  the  multitude 
of  mountains:  truly  in  the  Lord 
our  God  is  the  salvation  of  Israel. 
',  ETosea  xiv,  4.  I  will  heal  their 
backsliding,  I  will  love  them 
freely:  for  mine  anger  is  turned 
away  from  him. 

Eev.  11,  5.  Remember  therefore 
from  whence  thou  art  fallen,  and

To  BE  Avoided. 

Ps.  1,  22.  Now  consider  this,  ye 
that  forget  God,  lest  I  tear  you  iu 
pieces,  and  there  be  none  to  deli- 
ver. 

Ps.  Ixxxv,  8.  I  will  hear  what 
God  the  Lord  will  speak  :  for  he 
will  speak  peace  unto  his  people, 
and  to  his  saints;  but  let  them  not 
turn  again  to  folly. 

Jer.  ii,  5,  12,  13,  31.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  What  iniquity  have 
your  fathers  found  in  me,  that 
they  are  gone  far  from  me,  and 
have  walked  after  vanity,  and 
are  become  vain?  Be  astonished, 
O  ye  heavens,  at  this;  and  be  hor- 
ribly afraid,  be  ye  very  desolate, 
saith  the  Lord.  For  my  people 
haye  committed'  two  evils ;  they 
have  forsaken  me,  the  fountain  of 
living  watei-s,  a7id  hewn  them  out 
cisterns,  broken  cisterns,  that  can 
hold  no  water.  O  generation,  see 
ye  the  word  of  the  Lord:  Have  I 
been  a  wilderness  unto  Israel  ?  a 
land  of  darkness?  Wherefore 
say  my  people.  We  are  lords ;  we 
will  come  no  more  unto  thee  ? 

Dan.  xi,  34,  35.  Now,  when  they 
shall  fall,  they  shall  be  holpen 
with  a  little  help :  but  many  shall 
cleave  to  them  with  flatteries. 
And  some  of  them  of  understand- 
ing shall  fall,  to  try  them,  and  to 
purge,  and  to  make  them  white, 
even  to  the  time  of  the  end :  be- 
cause it  is  yet  for  a  time  ap- 
pointed. 

Micah  vi,  3.  O  my  people,  what 
have  I  done  unto  thee?  and  where- 
in have  I  wearied  thee?  testify 
against  me. 

1  Cor.  X,  12.  Wherefore,  let  him 
that  thlnketh  he  standeth  take 
heed  lest  he  fall. 

Gal.  ill,  1.  O  foolish  Galatians, 
who  hath  bewitched  you,  that  ye 
should  not  obey  the  truth,  before 
whose  eyes  Jesus  Christ  hath  been 
evidently  set  forth,crucified  among 
you? 

Col.  i,  23.  If  ye  continue  in  the 
faith  grounded  and  settled,  and  be 
not  moved  away  from  the  hope 
of  the  gospel 

ITeb.  iii,  12,  13.  Take  heed, 
brethren,  lest  there  be  in  any  of 
you  an  evil  heart  of  unbelief,  in 
departing  from  the  living  God. 
But  exhort  one  another  daily, 
while  it  is  called  To-day;  lest  any 
of  you  be  hardened  through  the 
deceitfulness  of  sin. 

Jleb.  xii.  15.  Looking  diligently 
lest  any  man  fail  of  ttie  grace  of 
God;  lest  any  root  of  bitterness 
springing  up  trouble  you,  and 
thereby  many  be  defiled. 

2  Peter  i,  9.  But  he  that  lacketh 
these  things  is  blind,  and  cannot 
see  afar  off,  and  hath  forgotten 
that  he  was  purged  from  his  old. 
sins. 


EEDEMPTIOIT. 


2  Pdir  W,  20-22.  For  If  affer 
they  have  escaped  the  polliitious 
of  the  world,  through  the  know- 
ledge of  the  Lord  and  Saviour 
Jesus  Christ,  they  are  again  en- 
tangled therein,  and  overcome, 
the  latter  end  is  worse  with  them 
than  the  beginning.  For  it  had 
been  better  tor  them  not  to  have 
known  the  way  of  righteousness, 
than,  after  they  have  known  it, 
to  turn  from  the  holy  cominand- 
mentdelivered  unto  them.  Butitis 
happened  unto  them  according  to 
the  true  proverb,  The  dog  is 
turned  to  his  own  vomit  again; 
and  the  sow  that  was  washed  to 
her  wallowing  in  the  mire. 

Its  Evils.  ' 
Prov.  xiv,  14.  The  backslider  in 
heart  shall  be  ftUedwith  his  own 
ways;  and  a  good    maa  shall  be 
satis^ed  from  himself. 

Jer.  ii,  17,  19.  Hast  then  not 
procured  this  unto  tliyself,  in  that 
thou  hast  forsaken  tlie  Lobd  thy 
God,  when  he  led  thee  by  the 
way?  Thine  own  wickedness 
eliiill  correct  thee,  and  thy  back- 
Blidings  shall  reprove  thee:  know 
therefore,  and  see,  that  it  is  an 
evil  thing  and  bitter,  that  thou 
hast  forsaken  the  Loed  thy  Ood, 
and  that  my  fear  is  not  in  thee, 
eaith  the  Lord  God  of  hosts. 

Jer.  xiii,  25.  This  is  thy  lot,  the 
portion  of  tiiy  measures  from  me, 
eaith  the  Loud;  because  thou  hast 
forgotten  me,  and  trusted  in 
falsehood. 

Jer.  x\v,  10.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  unto  this  people.  Thus  have 
they  loved  to  wander,  they  have 
not  refrained  their  feet;  therefore 
the  Lord  doth  not  accept  them: 
he  will  now  remember  their  ini- 
quity, and  visit  their  sins. 

Hosea  viil,  3.  Israel  hath  cast 
off  the  thing  that  is  good:  the 
enemy  shall  pursue  him. 

Heb.  X,  38.  Now  the  just  shall 
live  by  faith:  but  if  any  man  draw 
back,  my  soul  shall  have  no  pleas- 
ure in  him. 

WARNING  TO  BACKSLIDERS. 
Deut.  xxxil,  18-20.  Of  the  Rock 
that  begat  thee  thou  art  unmiiul- 
fal,  and  hast  forgotten  God  that 
formed  thee.  And  when  tlie 
Lord  saw  it,  he  abhorred  them, 
btciuse  of  the  provoking  ot  his 
eons  and  of  his  daughters.  And 
he  said,  I  will  hide  my  face  from 
them,  I  will  see  what  their  end 
Shall  be:  for  they  are  a  very  Iro- 
ward  generation,  children  in 
whom  is  no  faith. 

Ps.  xxxvi,  3.  The  words  of  his 
mouth  are  iniquity  and  deceit: 
be  hath  left  off  to  he  wise,  and  to 
do  good. 


Ps,  Ixxvlli,  57.  But  turned  baclr, 
and  dealt  unfaithfully  like  their 
fathers:  they  were  turned  aside 
like  a  deceitful  bow. 

Prov.  xxiv,  16.  For  a  just  man 
falleth  seven  times,  and  riseth  up 
again:  but  the  wicked  shall  fall 
into  mischief. 

7sa.  1,  4 They  have  for- 
saken the  LoBD,  they  have  pro- 
voked the  Holy  One  of  Israel 
unto  anger,  they  axe  gone  away 
backward. 

Jer.  V,  23.  But  this  people  hath 
a  revolting  and  a  rebellious  heart; 
they  are  revolted  and  gone. 

Jer.  viil,  4.  5.  Moreover,  thou 
Shalt  Bay  unto  them.  Thus  saiih 
the  Lord;  Shall  they  fall,  and  not 
arise?  shall  he  turn  away,  and  not 
return?  Why  then  is  this  people 
of  Jerusalem  slidden  back  by  a 
perpetual  backsliding?  they  hold 
last  deceit,  they  refuse  to  return. 

Mosea  vi,  4.  O  Ephraira,  what 
shall  I  do  unto  thee?  O  Judah, 
what  shall  I  do  unto  thee?  ft)r 
your  goodness  is  as  a  morning 
cloud,  and  as  the  early  dew  it 
goeth  away. 

Hosea  xi,  7.  And  my  people  are 
bent  to  backsliding  Irom  me: 
though  they  called  them  to  tlie 
most  High,  none  at  all  would 
exalt  him. 

Mark  iv,  16,  17.  And  these  are 
they  likewise  which  are  sown  on 
stony  ground;  who,  when  they 
have  heard  the  word,  immediately 
receive  it  with  gladness;  And 
have  no  root  in  themselves,  and 
so  endure  but  for  a  time:  after- 
ward, when  afBiction  or  persecu- 
tion ariseth  for  the  word's  sake, 
immediately  they  are  offended. 

Luke  viil,  13.  They  on  the  rock 
are  tliey,  which,  when  they  hear, 
receive  the  word  with  joy;  and 
these  have  no  root,  which  for  a 
while  believe,  and  in  time  of 
temptation  fall  away. 

Ckil.  V,  7,  8, 10.  Ye  did  run  well; 
who  did  hinder  you,  that  ye 
should  not  obey  the  truth?  This 
persuasion  Cometh  not  of  him  that 
calleth  you.  I  have  confidence 
in  you  through  the  Lord,  that  ye 
will  be  none  otherwise  minded: 
but  he  that  troubleth  you  shall 
bear  his  judgment,  whosoever  he 
be. 

Eev.  II,  4.  Nevertheless  I  have 
somewhat  against  thee,  because 
thou  hast  left  thy  first  love. 

APOSTACY. 
Jer.  xvii,  12,  13.  A  glorious 
high  throne  from  the  beginning 
is  the  place  of  our  sanctuary.  O 
Lord,  the  hope  of  Israel,  all  that 
forsake  thee  shall  be  ashamed, 
and  they  that  depart  from  me 
Shall  be  written  In  the  earth,  be- 
612 


cause  they  have  forsaken  the 
LoKD,  the  fountain  ot  living 
waters. 

Ezek.  xviii,  24-26 All  his 

righteousness  that  he  hath  done 
shall  not  be  mentioned:  In  his 
trespass  that  he  hath  trespassed, 
and  in  his  sin  that  he  hath  sinned, 
in  them  shall  he  die.  Yet  ye  say. 
The  way  of  the  Lord  is  not  equal. 
Hear  now,  O  house  of  Israel;  Is 
not  my  way  equal?  are  not  your 
ways  unequal?  When  a  right- 
eous man  turneth  away  from  his 
righteousness,  and  comraittoth 
iniquity,  and  dieth  in  them;  for 
Ids  iniquity  that  he  hath  done 
shall  he  die. 

Ezek.  xxxiii,  12, 13.  Therefore, 
thou  son  of  man,  say  unto  the 
children  of  thy  people.  The  right- 
eousness of  the  righteous  shall  not 
deliver  him  in  the  day  of  his 
transgression:  as  for  the  wicked- 
ness of  the  wicked,  he  shall  not 
fall  thereby  in  the  day  that  he 
turneth  from  his  wickedness; 
neither  shall  the  righteous  bo 
able  to  live  for  his  righteousness 
in  the  day  that  he  sinneth.  When 
I  shall  say  to  the  righteous,  that 
he  shall  surely  live;  if  he  trust  to 
his  own  righteousness,  and  com- 
mit iniquity,  all  his  righteousness 
shall  not  be  remembered;  but  for 
his  iniquity  that  he  hath  commit- 
ted, he  shall  die  for  it. 

Hosea  vil,  13.  Woe  unto  them! 
for  they  have  fled  from  me:  de- 
struction unto  them!  because  they 
have  transgressed  against  me: 
though  I  have  redeemed  them, 
yet  they  have  spoken  lies  against 
me. 

John  XV,  6.  If  a  man  abide  not 
in  me,  he  is  cast  forth  as  a  branch, 
and  is  withered;  and  men  gather 
them,  and  cast  them  into  the  fire, 
and  they  are  burned. 

1  Tim.  V,  12.  Having  damnation, 
because  tiiey  have  cast  off  their 
first  faith. 

Heb.  vl,  4-6.  For  it  is  impossi- 
ble lor  those  who  were  once  en- 
lightened, and  have  tasted  of  the 
lieavenly  gift,  and  were  made 
partakers  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  And 
have  tasted  the  good  word  of  God, 
and  the  powers  of  the  world  to 
come,  If  they  shall  fall  away,  to 
renew  them  again  unto  repent- 
ance; seeing  they  crucify  to  them- 
selves the  Son  of  God  afresh,  and 
put  him  to  an  open  shame. 

Heb.  X,  26,  27.  For  if  we  sin  wil- 
fully after  tliat  we  have  received 
the  knowledge  of  the  truth,  there 
remaineth  no  more  sacrifice  for 
sins,  But  a  certain  fearful  look- 
ing for  of  judgment  and  fiery 
indignation,  which  shall  devour 
the  adversaries. 

Heb.  xil,  29.  For  our  God  is  a 
coufiuming  fire.

0TH3R  RESULTS  AND 

BLESSINGS  OF  REDEMPTION. 

SALVATION  IN  THE  OLD 
TESTAMENT. 

Fxod.  xiv,  13,  14.  And  Moses 
Baid  unto  the  people,  Fear  ye  not, 
Stand  still,  and  see  the  salvation 
of  the  Lord,  which  he  will  shev/ 
you  to-day:  for  the  Egyptians 
whom  ye  have  seen  to-day,  ye 
shall  see  them  again  no  more  for 
ever.  The  Lord  shall  fight  for 
you,  and  ye  shall  h«ld  your  peace. 

2  Sam.  xxii,  36.  Thou  hast  also 
given  me  the  shield  of  thy  salva- 
tion; and  thy  gentleness  hath 
made  me  great. 

Ps.  xxxvii,  39.  But  the  salva- 
tion of  the  righteous  is  ot  the 
Lord;  he  is  their  strength  in  the 
time  of  trouble. 

Isa.  xxvi,  1.  In  that  day  shall 
this  song  be  sung  in  the  land  of 
Judah;  We  have  a  strong  city; 
salvation  will  God  appoint  for 
walls  and  bulwarlis. 

Jer.  ill,  23.  Truly  in  vain  Is  sal- 
vation hojted  for  from  the  hills,

is  the  salvation  of  Israel

come  ye,  and  let  us  walk  in  the 
light  of  the  Lord. 

Hos.  viii,  2.  Israel  shall  cry 
unto  me,  My  God,  we  know  thee. 

John  iii,  9-12.  Nicodemus  an- 
swered and  said  unto  him,  IIow 
can  these  things  be?  Jesus  an- 
swered and  said  unto  him.  Art 
thou  a  master  of  Israel,  and  know- 
est  not  these  things?  Verily,  verily, 
I  say  unto  thee,  We  speak  that  we 
do  know,  and  testify  that  we  have 
seen;  and  ye  receive  not  our  wit- 
ness. If  I  have  told  you  earthly 
things,  and  ye  believe  not,  how 
shall  ye  believe  If  I  tell  you  of 
heavenly  things? 

Eom.  XV,  14,  15.  And  I  myself 
also  am  persuaded  of  you,  n)y 
brethren,  that  ye  also  are  full  of 
goodness,  filled  with  all  know- 
ledge, able  also  to  admonish  one 
another.  Nevertheless,  brethren, 
I  have  written  the  more  boldly 
unto  you  in  some  sort,  as  putting 
you  in  mind,  because  of  the  grace 
that  is  given  to  me  of  God. 

_  1  Cor.  X,  14, 15.  Wherefore,  my 
dearly  beloved,  flee  from  idolatry. 
I  speak  as  to  wioe  men;  judge  ye 
■what  I  say. 

Uph.  i,  18, 19.  The  eyes  of  your 
■understanding  being  enlightened; 
that  ye  may  know  what  is  the 
bope  of  his  calling,  and  what  the 
riches  of  the  glory  of  his  inherit- 
ance in  the  saints.  And  what  is

power  to  US-ward  who  believe, 
according  to  the  working  of  his 
mighty  power. 

Ool.  i,  9.  For  this  cause  we  also, 
f  ince  the  day  we  heard  it,  do  not 
cease  to  pray  for  you,  and  to  de- 
sire that  ye  might  be  filled  with 
the  knowledge  of  his  will  in  all 
wisdom  and  spiritual  understand- 
ing. 

2  Pet.  i,  12.  Wherefore  I  will  not 
be  negligent  to  put  you  always  in 
remembrance  of  these  things, 
thougli  ye  Imow  them,  and  be  es- 
tablished in  the  present  truth. 

GRACE. 

Job  xvil,  9, 10,  The  righteous 
also  shall  hold  on  his  way;  and  lie 
that  hath  clean  hands  shall  be 
St  ronger  and  stronger.  But  as  for 
you  all,  do  ye  return,  and  come 
now:  for  I  cannot  find  one  wise 
man  among  you. 

Ps.  cxxxviii,  8.  The  Lord  will 
perfect  that  which  concernetli  me, 
thy  mercy,  O  Lord,  endureth  lor 
ever:  forsake  not  the  works  of 
thine  own  hands. 

Prov.  iv,  18.  But  the  path  of 
the  just  is  as  the  shining  light, 
that  shineth  more  and  more  unto 
the  perfect  day.  „ 

IIos.  vi,  2, 3.  After  two  days  will 
he  revive  us:  in  the  third  day  he 
will  raise  us  up,  and  we  shall  live 
in  his  sight.  Then  shall  we  know, 
if  we  follow  on  to  know  the  Lord: 
his  going  forth  is  prepared  as  tiie 
morning;  and  he  sliall  come  unto 
us  as  tlie  rain,  as  the  latter  and 
former  rain  unto  the  earth. 

John  XV,  8.  Herein  is  my  Fa- 
ther glorified,  that  ye  bear  much 
fruit;  so  shall  ye  be  my  disciples. 

Pom.  xiii,  12,  13.  The  night  is 
far  spent,  the  day  is  at  hand:  let 
us  therefore  cast  off  the  works  ot 
darkness,  and  let  us  put  on  the 
armour  of  liglit.  Let  us  walk 
honestly,  as  in  the  day;  not  in 
rioting  and  drunkenness,  not  in 
chambering  and  wantonness,  not 
in  strife  and  envying. 

2  Cor.  iii,  18.  But  we  all,  with 
open  face  beholding  as  in  a  glass 
the  glory  of  the  Lord,  are  changed 
into  the  same  image,  from  glory 
to  glory,  even  as  by  the  Spirit  of 
the  Lord. 

Phil,  i,  8-11.  For  God  is  my  re- 
cord, how  greatly  I  long  after  you 
all  in  the  bowels  of  Jesus  Christ. 
And  this  I  pray,  that  your  love 
may  abound  yet  more  and  more 
in  knowledge  and  in  all  judgment; 
Tliat  ye  may  approve  things  tliat 
are  excellent;  tliat  ye  may  be  sin- 
cere, and  without  offence,  till  the 
(lay  of  Christ;  Being  filled  with 
ihe  fruits  of  righteousness,  which 
are  by  Jesus  Clirist,  unto  the  glory 
and  praise  of  God. 

Fha.  m,  15,  16.  Let  us  there- 
613 


fore,  as  many  aa  be  perfect,  be 
thus  minded:  and  if  in  any  thing 
ye  be  otherwise  minded,  God  shall 
reveal  even  this  unto  you.  Never- 
theless whereto  we  have  already 
attained,  let  us  walk  by  the  same 
rule,  let  us  mind  the  same  tlnng. 

1  Thess.  iv,  1.  Furthermore  then 
we  beseech  you,  brethren,  and 
exhort  you  by  the  Lord  Jesus, 
that  as  ye  have  received  of  us  how 
ye  ought  to  walk  and  to  please 
God,  so  ye  would  abound  more 
and  more. 

2  T/iess.  i,  3.  We  arc  bound  to 
thank  God  always  for  you,  bre- 
thren, as  it  is  meet,  because  that 
your  faith  groweth  e.xceedingiy, 
and  the  charity  of  every  one  of 
J  ou  all  toward  each  other  abound- 
etn. 

2Pet.i,5  8.  And  beside  this, 
giving  all  diligence,  add  to  your 
faith,  virtue;  and  to  virtue,  know- 
ledge; and  to  knowledge,  temper- 
ance; and  to  temperance,  patience; 
and  to  patience,  godliness;  and  to 
godliness,  brotherly  kindness;  and 
to  brotherly  kindness,  cliarity. 
For  if  these  things  be  in  you.  and 
abound,  they  make  you  that  ye 
shall  neither  be  barren  nor  un- 
fruitful in  the  knowledge  of  our 
Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

ASSURANCE. 

Ps.  Ivl,  3,  4, 11.  What  time  I  am 
afraid,  I  will  trust  in  tliee.  la 
God  I  will  praise  his  word,  in  God 
I  have  put  ray  trust;  I  will  not 
fear  what  fltsh  can  do  unto  me. 
In  God  have  I  put  my  trust:  I 
will  not  be  afraid  what  man  caa 
do  uiito  me. 

Ps.  cxviii,  6,  7.  The  Lord  is  on 
my  side;  I  will  not  fear:  what  can 
mm  do  unto  me?  The  Lord 
taketh  my  part  with  them  that 
lielp  me:  therefore  shall  I  see  mj/ 
desire  upon  them  that  hate  me. 

Prov.  iii,  25,  26.  Be  not  afraid 
of  sudden  fear,  neither  of  the  de- 
solation of  tlie  wicked,  when  it 
Cometh.  For  the  Lord  shall  be 
thy  conflJence,  and  shall  keep 
thy  foot  from  being  taken. 

Prov.  xxix,  25.  The  fear  of  man 
hringolh  a  snare:  but  whoso  put- 
teth  his  trust  in  the  Lord  shall  be 
safe. 

Isa.  xxxii,  17.  '  And  the  work  of 
righteousness  shall  be  peace;  and 
the  effect  of  righteousness,  quiet- 
ness and  assurance  for  ever. 

Isa.  1,  7,  8.  For  the  Lord  God 
will  help  me;  therefore  shall  I  not 
be  conlounded:  therefore  have  I 
set  my  face  like  a  flint,  and  I 
know  that  I  shall  not  be  ashamed. 
He  is  near  that  justifl^•th  me;  who 
will  contend  with  me?  let  us  stand 
together:  who  is  mine  adversary? 
let  him  come  near  to  me.

dence toward  God. 

1  John  iii,  16-18.  And  we  have 
known  and  believed  the  love  that 
God  hath  to  us.  God  is  love;  and 
he  that  dwelleth  in  love  dvvelleth 
In  God,  and  God  in  him.  Herein 
Is  our  love  made  perfect,  that  we 
may  have  boldness  in  the  day  of 
judgment:  because  as  he  is,  so  are 
we  in  this  world.  There  is  no 
fear  in  love;  but  perfect  love  cust- 
eth  out  tear;  because  fear  hath 
torment.  He  that  teareth  is  not 
made  perfect  in  love.

thy  God  hath  cast  tliera  out  from

brought  me  in  to  possess  this 
land;  but  tor  the  wickedness  of 
these  nations  the  Loud  doth  drive 
them  out  In  m  betoro  thee.  Not 
fur  thy  righteousness,  or  fur  the 


tjprTghtness  of  thine  heart,  dost 
thou  go  to  possess  their  land:  but 
tor  the  wickeduoss  of  these  na- 
tions the  Lord  thy  God  doth

Job  xi,  4-6.  For  thou  hast  said, 
My  doctrine  is  pure,  and  I  am 
clean  in  thine  eyes.  But  Oh  that

lips  against  thee;  And  that  he 
would  shew  thee  the  secrets  of

thine  iniquity  deserveth.

falsehood  have  we  hid  ourselves.

Isa.  Ivil,  10.  Thou  art  wearied 
In  the  greatness  of  thy  way;  yet 
saidst  thou  not.  There  is  no  hope:

hand;  therefore  thou  wast  not 
grieved. 

Isa.  Ixv,  5.  Which  say,  Stand  by 
thyself,  come  not  near  to  me;  for  1

shall  sweep  away  the  refuge  of 
lies,  and  the  waters  shall  overflow 
the  hiding  place.  And  your  cove-

now  this,  thou  that  art  given  to 
pleasures,  that  dwellest  carelessly: 
tliat  sayest  in  thine  heart,  I  am, 
and  none  else  besides  me;  I  shall 
not  sit  as  a  widow,  neitlier  shall  I 
know  the  loss  of  children:  But 
these  two  things  shall  come  to 
thee  in  a  moment  in  one  day,  the 
loss  of  children,  and  widowhood: 
they  shall  come  upon  thee  in  their

abundance  of  thine  enchantments.

trusted  in  thy  wickedness:  thou 
hast  said.  None  seeth  me.  Thy 
wisdom  and  thy  knowledge,  it 
hath  perverted  thee;  and  thou 
hast  said  in  thine  heart,  I  am,  and 
none  else  besides  me.  Therefore 
shall  evil  come  upon  thei-;  thou 
Shalt  not  know  from  whence  it 
riseth:  and  mischief  shall  fall  upon 
thee;  thou  shalt  not  be  able  to  put

Shalt  not  know.

hath  deceived  thee,  thou  that 
dwellest  in  the  clefts  of  the  rock, 
whose  habitation  is  high;  that 
salth  in  his  heart.  Who  shall  bring 
me  down  to  the  ground?  Though 
thou  exalt  thyself  as  the  eagle, 
and  thuugh  thou  set  thy  nest 
among  the  stars,  therico  will  I 
bring  thee  down,  saith  the  Lord, 


Rev.  xvlll,  7, 8.  How  much  she 
hath  glorified  herself,  and  lived 
deliciously,  so  much  torment  and 
sorrow  give  her:  for  she  saith  in 
her  heart,  I  sit  a  queen,  and  am 
no  widow,  and  shall  see  no  sorrow. 
Therefore  shall  her  plagues  come 
In  one  day,  death,  and  mourning, 
and  famine;  and  she  shall  be  ut- 
terly burnt  with  fire:  for  srong  is 
the  Lord  God  who  judgeth  her. 

GENUINE  CONFIDENCE. 

2  Sam.  xxii,  20-25.  He  brought 
me  forth  also  into  a  large  place; 
he  delivered  me.  because  he  de- 
lighted in  me.  The  Lord  rewarded 
me  according  to  my  righteousness: 
according  to  the  cleaimess  of  my 
hands  hath  he  recompensed  me. 
For  I  have  kept  the  ways  of  the 
Lord,  and  have  not  wickedly  de- 
parted from  my  God.  For  all  his 
judgments  toere  before  me;  and  as 
for  his  statutes,  I  did  not  depart 
from  them.  I  was  also  upright 
before  him,  and  have  kept  myself 
from  mine  iniquity.  Therefore  the 
Lord  hath  recompensed  me  ac- 
cording to  my  righteousness: 
acconling  to  my  cleanness  in  hi^i 
eyesight.

let  it  not  be  iniquity;  yea,  return 
again,  my  righteousness  is  in  it.

am  not  wicked;  and  there  is  none

ordered  7ny  cause;  I  know  that  I 
shall  be  justified. 

Job  xxiii,  3-5, 11.  Oh  that  I  knew 
where  I  might  find  him!  that  I 
might  come  even  to  his  seat!  I 
would  order  my  cause  before  him, 
and  fill  my  mouth  with  arguments. 
I  would  know  the  words  which 
he  would  answer  me,  and  under- 
stand what  he  would  say  unto 
me.  My  foot  hath  held  his  steps; 
his  way  have  I  kept,  and  not  de- 
clined. 

Job  xxvii,  5.  6.  God  forbid  that 
I  should  justify  you:  till  I  die  1 
will  not  remove  mine  integrity 
from  me.  My  righteousness  1 
hold  fast,  and  will  not  let  it  go: 
my  heart  shall  not  reproach  me 
so  long  as  1  live. 

Job  xxxi,  5-8, 35-37.  If  I  have  walk- 
ed with  vanity,  or  if  my  foot  hath 
hasted  to  deceit;  Let  me  be 
weighed  in  an  even  balance,  that 
God  may  know  mine  integrity. 
If  my  step  hath  turned  out  of  the 
way,  and  mine  heart  walked  after 
mine  eyes,  and  if  any  blot  hath 
cleaved  to  mine  hands;  Then  let 
me  sow,  and  let  another  eat;  yea, 
let  my  offspring  be  rooted  out. 
Oh  that  one  would  hear  me!  be- 
hold, my  desire  is,  that  the  Al- 
mighty would  answer  me,  and  that 
mine  adversary  had  written  a 
book.  Surely  I  would  take  it 
615 


npon  my  shoulder,  and  bind  ft  as 
a  crown  to  me.  I  would  declare 
unto  him  the  number  of  my  steps; 
as  a  prince  would  I  go  near  unto 
him. 

Ps.  xviii,  19-23.  He  brought  me 
forth  also  into  a  large  place;  he 
delivered  me,  because  he  delight- 
ed in  me.  The  Lord  rewarded  me 
according  to  my  righteousness; 
according  to  the  cleanness  of  my 
hands  hath  he  recompensed  me. 
For  I  have  kept  the  ways  of  the 
Lord,  and  have  not  wickedly  de- 
parted from  my  God.  For  all  his 
judgments  were  before  me,  and  I 
did  not  put  away  his  statutes  from 
me.  I  was  also  upright  before 
him;  and  I  kept  myself  from  mine 
iniquity, 

Fs.  xliv,  17, 18.  All  this  is  come 
upon  us;  yet  have  we  not  forgot- 
ten thee,  neither  have  we  dealt 
falsely  in  thy  covenant.  Our 
heart  is  not  turned  back,  neither 
have  our  steps  declined  Irom  thy 
way, 

Fs.  cxix,  168.  I  have  kept  thy 
precepts  and  thy  testimonies:  for 
all  my  ways  are  before  thee. 

COMMUNION  WITH  GOD. 

Fs.  xlii,  8.  Yet  the  Lord  will 
command  his  loving-kindness  in 
the  day-time,  and  in  the  night  his 
song  shall  be  with  me,  and  my 
prayer  unto  the  God  of  my  life. 

John  xiv,  20-23.  At  that  day  ye 
shall  know  that  I  am  in  my  Fa- 
ther, and  ye  in  me,  and  I  in  you. 
He  that  hath  my  commandments, 
and  keepeth  them,  he  it  is  that 
lovetli  me;  and  he  that  loveth  me 
shall  be  loved  of  my  Father,  and 
I  w  ill  love  him,  and  will  manifest 
myself  to  him,  Judas  saith  unto 
him,  (not  Iscariot,)  Lord,  how  is  it 
that  thou  wilt  manifest  thyself 
unto  us,  and  not  unto  the  world  ? 
Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
him,  If  a  man  love  me,  he  will 
keep  my  words :  and  my  Father 
will  love  him,  and  we  will  come 
unto  him,  and  make  our  abode 
with  him. 

1  John  1,  3,  6.  That  which  we 
have  seen  and  heard  declare  we 
unto  you,  that  ye  also  may  have 
fellowship  with  us  :  and  truly  our 
fellowship  is  with  the  Father,  and 
with  his  Son  Jesus  Christ,  If  we 
say  that  we  have  fellowship  with 
him,  and  walk  in  darkness,  we  lie, 
and  do  not  the  truth, 

Eev.  iii,  20.  Behold,  I  stand  at 
the  door,  and  knock:  if  any  man 
hear  my  voice,  and  open  the  door, 
I  will  come  in  to  him,  and  will 
sup  with  him,  and  he  with  me.

alway:  and  again  I  say,  Rejoice.

more. 

Ps.  Iv,  7.  Thou  hast  put  glad- 
ness in  my  heart,  more  than  in  the 
time  that  their  corn  and  their 
wine  Increased. 

Ps.  xvill,  2.   The  Loao  is  my 


rock,  and  my  fortress,  and  my  de-  r 
liver;  my  God,  my  strength,  in 
whom  I  will  trust;  my  buckler, 
and  the  horn  of  my  salvation,  and 
my  high  tower. 

Ps.  xxviil,  7,  8.  The  Lord  is  my 
strength  and  my  shield;  my  heart 
trusted  in  him,  and  I  am  helped: 
therefore  my  heart  greatly  re- 
joiceth;  and  with  my  soug  will  I 
praise  him.  The  Loan  is  their 
strength,  and  he  is  the  saving 
strength  of  his  anointed. 

Ps.  xxxiii,  21.  For  our  heart 
shall  rejoice  in  him,  because  we 
have  trusted  in  his  holy  name. 

Ps.  xlii,  1, 2.  As  the  hart  panteth 
after  tlie  water  brooks,  so  panteth 
my  soul  after  thee,  O  God.  My 
soul  tliirsteth  for  God,  for  the  liv- 
ing God :  wlien  shall  1  come  and 
appear  before  God? 

Ps.  Ixiii,  5-9.  My  soul  shall 
be  satlslied  as  with  marrow  and 
fatness ;  and  my  mouth  shall 
praise  thee  with  joyful  lips;  Wlien 
I  remember  thee  upon  my  bed, 
and  meditate  on  thee  in  the  night- 
watches.  Because  thou  hast  been 
my  help,  therefore  in  the  shadow 
ot  thy  wings  will  I  rejoice.  My 
soul  loiloweth  hard  alter  thee  : 
thy  right  hand  uphohleth  me. 
But  thuse  that  seek  my  soul,  to 
destroy  it,  shall  go  into  the  lower 
parts  of  the  earth. 

Ps.  ixxiii,  25, 26.  Whom  have  I 
in  heaven  but  thee?  and  there  is 
none  upon  earth  that  I  desire  be- 
sides thee.  My  flesh  an  1  my  heart 
faileth;  but  God  is  the  stren,::;th  of 
my  heart,  and  my  portion  for 
ever. 

Ps.  cxxvi,  3,  4.  The  Loud  hath 
done  great  things  tor  us,  whereof 
we  are  glad.  Turn  again  our  cap- 
tivity, O  Lokd,  as  the  streams  In 
the  south. 

Jer.  xxxl,  25.  For  I  have  sati- 
ated the  weary  soul,  and  I  liave 
replenished  every  sorrowful  soul. 

Bab.  iil,  16  18.  When  I  heard,  my 
belly  trembled ;  my  lips  quivered 
at  the  voice:  rottenness  entered 
into  my  bones^  and  I  trembled  in 
myself,  that  l'  might  rest  in  the 
day  of  trouble :  when  he  cometh 
up  unto  the  people,  lie  will  invade 
them  with  his  troops.  Although 
the  flg-tree  shall  not  blossom, 
neither  shall  fruit  be  in  the  vines ; 
the  labour  of  the  olive  shall  fail, 
and  the  Uelds  shall  yield  no  meat; 
the  flock  wliail  be  cut  off  from  the 
fold,  and  there  shall  be  no  herd  In 
the  stalls:  yet  1  will  rejoice  in  the 
Lobd,  I  will  joy  lu  the  God  of  my 
salvation. 

GLORYING  IN  GOD. 

Ps.  Ixxxix,  17.  For  thou  art  the

Isa.  xxviil,  5,  e.  In  that  day 
shall  the  Lord  of  hosts  be  fur 
a  crown  of  glory,  and  for  a  diadem 
of  beauty,  unto  the  residue  of 
his  people.  And  for  a  spirit  of 
judgment  to  him  that  sitteth  in 
judgment,  and  for  strength  to 
them  that  turn  the  battle  to  the 
gate. 

Jer.  ix,  23,  24.  Thus  saith  the 
LoBo,  Let  not  the  wise  man  glory 
in  his  wisdom,  neither*  let  the 
mighty  man  glory  in  his  miglit, 
let  not  the  rich  vian  glory  in  his 
riches:  But  let  him  that  giorieth 
glory  in  tliis,  that  he  understand- 
eth  and  knoweth  me,  that  I  am 
the  Lord,  which  exercise  loving- 
kindness,  judgment,  and  riglit- 
eousness,  in  tlie  earth:  for  in  these 
things  I  delight,  saith  the  Lord. 

1  for.  i.  31.  That,  according  as 
it  is  written,  He  that  giorieth,  let 
him  glory  in  the  Lord. 

HOPE  IN  GOD. 

Ps.  xxxi,  24.  Be  of  good  courage, 
and  he  shall  strengthen  your 
heart,  all  ye  that  hope  in  the 
Loao. 

Ps.  xxxiii,  18,  19.  Behold,  the 
eye  of  the  Lord  is  upon  them  that 
fear  him,  upon  them  that  hope 
in  his  mercy;  To  deliver  their 
soul  from  death,  and  to  keep  them 
alive  in  famine. 

Ps.  xxxix,  7.  And  now.  Lord, 
what  wait  I  for?  my  hope  is  iu 
thee. 

Ps.  xlii,  11.  Why  art  thou  cast 
down,  O  my  soul?  and  why  art 
thou  disquieted  within  me?  hope 
thou  in  God;  tor  I  shall  yet  praise 
him,  loho  is  the  health  of  my 
countenance,  and  my  God. 

Ps.  cxix,  74. 114.  They  that  fear 
thee  will  be  glad  when  they  see

Lam.  Hi,  24,  2(i.  The  Lord  is  my 
portion,  saith  my  soul;  therefore 
will  I  hope  In  him.  It  is  good 
that  a  man  should  both  liope  and 
quietly  wait  for  the  salvation  of 
the  Lord. 

Bom.  vili,  24,  25.  For  we  are 
saved  by  hope:  but  hope  that  is 
seen  is  not  liope.  for  what  a  man 
seeth,  why  doth  he  yet  hope  for? 
But  if  we  hope  for  that  we  see 
not,  then  do  we  with  patience 
wait  fur  it. 


REDEMPTION?". 


(7o?.  I,  5.  For  the  hope  which  Is 
*^ld  up  for  you  in  heaven,  whereof

^ruth  of  the  gospel. 

Heb.  vi,  18. 19.  That  hy  two  Im- 
mutable things,  in  which  it  was 
Impossible  for  God  to  lie,  we 
might  have  a  strong  consolation, 
who  have  fled  for  refuge  to  lay 
holdupDH  the  hope  set  before  us: 
Wliicli  hope  we  have  as  an  anchor 
of  the  soul,  botli  sure  and  stedfast, 
and  whicli  entereth  into  that  with- 
in the  vail. 

Peter  1,  13 Hope  to 

the  end  for  the  grace  that  is  to  be 
brought  unto  you  at  the  revelation 
of  Jesus  Christ.

PERSEVER.\NCE;  PROMISED 

AND  SECURED  ON   GOD'S 
PART  AS  A  BLESSING. 

1  Sam.  xii,  21.  22.  And  turn  ye 
not  aside:  for  the^i  should  ye  go 
after  vain  things  which  cannot  pro- 
fit nor  deliver;  for  they  are  vain: 
For  the  Lokd  will  not  forsalie  his 
people  for  his  great  name's  sake: 
because  it  hath  pleased  the  Loed 
to  make  you  his  people. 

Ps.  x\\,  7.  Thou  Shalt  keep  them, 
O  Loud,  thou  shalt  preserve  them 
from  this  generation  for  ever. 

Ps.  xli,  12.  And  as  for  me,  thou 
upholdest  me  in  mine  integrity, 
and  settest  me  before  thy  face  for 
ever. 

Ps.  xciv,  14.  For  the  Lord  will 
not  castofl  his  people,  neither  will 
he  forsake  his  iulieritance. 

Isa.  xliv,  21.  Remember  these, 
0  Jacob  and  Israel;  for  tliou  art 
my  servant:  I  have  formed  thee; 
thou  art  ray  servant:  O  Israel, 
thou  Shalt  not  be  forgotten  of  me. 

Isa.  xlix,  14-17.  But  Zion  said, 
The  Lord  hatli  forsaken  me,  and 
ray  Lord  hatli  forgotten  me.  Can 
a  woman  forget  her  sucking  child, 
that  she  should  not  have  com- 
passion on  the  son  of  her  womb? 
yea,  they  may  forget,  yet  will  I 
not  forget  thee.  Behold,  I  have 
graven  thee  upon  the  palms  of 
my  hands;  thy  walls  are  continu- 
ally before  me.  Thy  children 
shall  make  haste;  thy  destroyers, 
and  they  that  made  thee  waste, 
shall  go  forth  ot  thee. 

Isa.  liv,  8-10.  In  a  little  wrath  I 
hid  my  face  from  thee  for  a 
moment;  but  with  everlasting 
kindness  will  I  have  mercy  on 
thee,  saith  the  Lord  thy  Redeemer. 
For  this  is  as  the  waters  of  Noah 
unto  me:  tor  as  1  have  sworn  that 
the  wa  ers  of  Noah  should  no 
more  go  over  the  earth;  so  have  I 
sworn  that  1  would  not  be  wroth 
with  thee,  nor  rebuke  thee.  For 
the  mouuiaiUS  shall  depart,  and 


the  hills  be  removed;  but  my  kind- 
ness sliall  not  depart  from  tiiee, 
neither  shall  the  covenant  of  my 
peace  be  removed,  saith  the  Loud 
that  hath  mercy  on  thee. 

John  X,  27-29.  My  sheep  hear 
my  voice,  and  I  know  them,  atid 
they  follow  me:  And  I  give  unto 
them  eternal  life;  and  they  shall 
never  perish,  neither  shall  any 
pluck  them  out  of  my  hand.  My 
Father,  which  gave  them  me,  is 
greater  than  all;  and  none  is  able 
to  pluck  them  out  of  my  Father's 
hand.

confirm  you  unto  the  end,  that  ye 
may  be  blameless  in  the  day  of

faithful,  by  whom  ye  were  called 
unto  the  fellowship  of  his  son 
Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 

Phil,  i,  6.  Being  confident  of  this 
very  thing,  ,that  he  which  hath 
begun  a  good  work  in  you,  will 
perform  U  until  the  day  of  Jesus 
Christ. 

2  Tfiess.  ill,  3.  But  the  Lord  is 
faithful,  who  shall  stablisU  you, 
and  keep  you  from  evil. 

Eev.  iii,  12.  llim  that  overcom- 
eth  will  I  make  a  pillar  in  the 
temple  of  my  God,  and  ho  shall 
go  no  more  out:  and  I  will  write 
upon  him  the  name  of  my  God, 
and  the  name  of  the  city  of  my 
God,  which  is  new  Jerusalem, 
which  Cometh  down  out  of  heaven 
from  my  God;  and  /  loill  write 
upon  him  my  new  name. 

PERSEVERANCE  ON  MAN'S 
PART  ENFORCED  AS  A  DUTY. 

Deut.  Iv,  9.  Only  take  heed  to 
thyself,  and  keep  thy  soul  dili- 
gently, lest  thou  forget  the  things 
which  thine  eyes  have  seen,  and 
lest  they  depart  from  thy  heart  all 
thedaysof  tiiy  life:  but  teach  them 
thy  sons,  and  thy  sons'  sons. 

Josh,  xxiii,  8.  But  cleave  unto 
the  Loud  your  God,  as  ye  have 
done  unto  this  day. 

1  Sam.  xii,  21.  And  turn  ye  not 
aside:  lor  then  should  ye  go  after 
vain  things,  which  cannot  profit 
nor  deliver;  for  they  are  vain. 

John  XV,  9,  10.  As  the  Father 
hath  loved  me,  so  have  I  loved 
you:  continue  ye  in  my  love.  If 
ye  keep  my  commandments,  ye 
shall  abide  in  my  love;  even  as  I 
have  kept  ray  Father's  command- 
ments, and  abide  in  his  love. 

Acts  xi,  23,  24.  Who,  when  he 
came,  and  had  seen  the  grace  of 
God, -was  glad,  and  exhorted  them 
all,  that  with  purpose  of  heart  they 
would  cleave  unto  the  Lord.  For 
he  was  a  good  man,  and  full  of  the 
617 


IToly  Ghost,  and  of  tilth:  and  much 
people  was  added  unto  the  Lord. 
Acts  xiii,  43.  Now,  when  the 
congregation  was  broken  up,  many 
of  the  Jews  and  religious  prose- 
lytes followed  Paul  and  Barnabas; 
who,  speaking  to  them,  persuaded 
them  to  Continue  in  the  grace  of 
God. 

1  Cor.  XV,  58.  Therefore,  my  be- 
loved brethren,  be  ye  stedfast,  un- 
moveable,  alwuys  abounding  in 
the  work  of  the  Lord,  forasmuch

not  in  vain  in  the  Lord.

thren dearly  beloved  and  longed 
for,  my  joy  and  crown,  so  stand

loved. 

(Jol.  ii,  6,  7.  As  ye  have  there^ 
fore  received  Christ  Jesns  the 
Lord,  so  walk  ye  in  Idm;  Rooted 
and  built  up  in  him,  and  stabliahed 
in  the  faith,  as  ye  have  been 
taught,  abounding  therein  with 
thanksgiving, 

2  Thess.  iii,  13.  But  ye,  brethren, 
be  not  weary  in  well-doing. 

2  Tim.  i,  14.  That  good  thing 
which  was  committed  unto  thee 
keep  by  the  Holy  Ghost  which 
dwelleth  in  us. 

2  Tim.  iii,14.^But  continue  thou 
in  the  things  which  thou  hast 
learned,  and  hast  been  assured  of, 
knowing  of  whom  thou  hast  learn- 
ed them. 

Heb.  iv,  1.  Let  us  therefore  fear, 
lest,  a  promise  being  left  us  of 
entering  into  his  rest,  any  of  you

wicked,  fall  from  your  own  sted- 
fastness.

say,  and  unto  the  rest  in  Thyatira, 
(as  many  as  have  not  tliis  doc- 
trine, and  w  hich  have  not  known 
the  depths  of  Satan,  as  they  speak,) 
I  will  put  upon  you  none  other 
burden:  But  that  which  ye  have 
already  hold  fast  till  I  come. 

Eev.  xxii,  11.  He  that  Is  unjust, 
let  him  be  unjust  still:  and  he  that 
which  is  filthy,  let  him  be  flltiiy 
stiU:  and  he  that  is  righteous,  let 
him  oe  righteous  still:  and  he  that 
is  holy,  let  him  be  holv  still.

him,  If  ye  continue  in  my  word, 
tMn  are  ye  my  disciples  indeed. 

John  XV,  10.  If  ye  keep  my  com- 
mandments, ye  shall  abide  in  my 
love;  even  as  I  l)ave  kept  my  Fa- 
ther's commandments,  and  abide 
In  his  love. 

Eom.  viii,  35-39.  Who  shall  sepa- 
rate us  from  the  love  of  Christ? 
shall  tribulation,  or  distress,  or 
persecution,  or  famine,  or  naked- 
ness, or  peril,  or  sword?  As  it  is 
written,  For  tliy  sake  we  are  killed 
all  the  day  long;  we  are  accounted 
as  sheep  for  the  slaughter.  Nay,  in 
all  these  things  we  are  more  than 
conquerors,  through  him  that 
loved  us.  For  I  am  persuaded, 
that  neither  death,  nor  life,  nor 
angels,  nor  principalities,  nor 
powers,  nor  things  present,  nor 
things  to  come,  Nor  height,  nor 
depth,  nor  any  other  creature, 
'Shall  be  able  to  separate  us  from 
the  love  of  God,  which  is  in  Christ 
Jesua  our  Lord. 

Cor.  XV,  1,  2.  Moreover,  bre- 
thren, I  declare  unto  you  the 
gospel,  which  1  preached  unto  you, 
which  also  ye  have  received,  and 
wherein  ye  stand:  By  which  also 
ye  are  saved,  if  ye  keep  in  memory 
what  I  preached  unto  you,  unless 
ye  have  believed  in  vain. 

Gal.  vi,  9.  And  let  us  not  be 
weary  in  well-doing;  for  in  due 
season  we  shall  reap,  if  we  faint 
not. 

2  Tim.  1, 12,  13.  .For  the  which 
cause  I  also  suffer  these  things: 
nevertheless  I  am  not  ashamed; 
for  I  know  whom  I  have  believed, 
and  am  persuaded  that  he  is  able 
to  keep  that  which  I  have  com- 
mitted unto  1dm  against  that  day. 
Hold  fast  the  form  of  sound  words, 
which  thou  hast  heard  of  me,  in 
faith  and  love  which  is  in  Christ 
Jesus. 

2  Tim.  Iv,  18.  And  the  Lord  shall 
deliver  me  from  every  evil  work, 
and  will  preserve  me  unto  his 
heavenly  kingdom:  to  whom  6e 
glory  for  ever  and  ever.  Amen. 

Heb.  iii,  14.  For  we  are  made 
partakers  of  Christ,  if  we  hold  the 
beginning  of  our  confidence  sted- 
fast  unto  the  end. 

Ecb.  X,  39.  But  we  are  not  of 
them  who  draw  back  unto  perdi- 
tion; but  of  them  that  believe  to 
the  saving  of  the  soul. 

James  i,  25.  But  whoso  looketh 
Into  the  perfect  law  of  liberty,  and 
pontinueth  therein,  he  being  not  a 
forgetful  liearer,  but  a  doer  of  the 
work,  tlds  man  shall  be  blessed  in 
Ills  deed.' 


1  Pet.  i,  5.  Who  are  kept  by  the 
power  of  God  through  faith  unto 
salvation,  ready  to  be  revealed  in 
the  last  time. 

1  John  ii,  19,  24.  They  went  out 
from  us,  but  tliey  were  not  of  us; 
for  if  they  had  been  of  us,  tliey 
would  no  doubt  have  continued 
with  us:  but  they  went  out,  that 
they  might  be  made  manifest  that 
they  were  not  all  of  us.  Let  that 
therefore  aliide  in  you  which  ye 
have  heard  from  the  beginning. 
If  that  which  ye  have  heard  from 
the  beginning  shall  remain  in  you, 
ye  also  shall  continue  in  the  Son, 
and  in  the  Father. 

Eev.  iii,  21.  To  him  that  over- 
cometh  will  I  grant  to  sit  with  me 
in  my  throne,  even  as  I  also  over- 
came, and  am  set  down  with  my 
Father  in  his  throne. 

Eev.  xxi,  7.  He  that  overcometh 
shall  inherit  all  things;  and  I  will 
be  his  God,  and  he  shall  be  my 


NO  PERFECTION  ON  EARTH. 

Job  ix,  14,  15.  How  much  less 
shall  I  answer  him,  and  choose 
out  my  words  to  reason  with  him? 
Whom,  though  I  were  righteous, 
yet  would  I  not  answer,  but  I 
would  make  supplication  to  my 
judge. 

Job  ix,  20,  21,  27-31.  If  I  justify 
myself,  mine  own  mouth  shall 
condemn  me,  if  I  say  I  am  perfect, 
it  shall  also  prove  me  perverse. 
Though  I  were  perfect,  yet  would 
I  not  know  my  souh  I  would  des- 
pise my  life.  If  I  say,  I  will  for- 
get my  complaint,  I  will  leave  off 
my  heaviness,  and  comfort  myself; 
I  am  afraid  of  all  my  sorrows,  I 
know  that  thou  wilt  not  hold  me 
innocent.  If  I  be  wicked,  why 
then  labour  I  in  vain?  If  I  wash 
myself  with  snow  water,  and 
make  my  hands  never  so  clean; 
Yet  Shalt  thou  plunge  me  in  the

Prov.  xiv,  26,  27.  In  the  fear  of 
the  Lord  is  strong  confidence; 
and  his  children  shall  have  a  place 
of  refuge.  The  fear  of  the  Lord 
is  a  fountain  of  life,  to  depart 
from  the  snares  of  death. 

Pi-ov.  xvi,  6,  7.  By  mercy  and 
truth  iniquity  is  purged;  and  by 
the  fear  of  the  Lord  men  depart 
from  evil.  When  a  man's  ways 
please  the  Lord,  he  maketh  even 
his  enemies  to  be  at  oeace  with 
him. 

Prov.  xix,  23.  The  fear  of  the 
Lord  iendeth  to  lite:  and  he  t/iat 
hath  it  sliall  abide  satisfied;  h© 
shall  not  be  visited  with  evil. 

Isa.  xxxiii,  6.  And  wisdom  and 
knowledge  shall  be  the  stability 
of  thy  times,  and  stt  ength  of  sal- 
vation: the  feai  of  the  Lord  is  his

tion to  ffeuetixiiou. 

Frov.  1,  29-31.  For  that  they  had 
hated  knowledge,  and  did  not 
Choose  the  fear  of  the  Lord:  They 
would  none  of  my  counseh  they 
despised  all  my  reproof:  There- 
lore  shall  they  eat  of  the  fruit  of 
their  own  way,  and  be  filled  with 
their  own  devices.

unto  his  young  men.  Abide  ye

now,  I  pray  tliee,  betore  the  elders 
of  my  people,  and  before  Israel, 
and  turn  again  with  me,  that  I 
may  worship  the  Lord  thy  God. 
So  Samuel  turned  again  after 
Saul;  and  Saul  worshipped  the 
Lord.

beauty  of  holiness, 

Fs.  xxvii,  14.  Wait  on  the  Lord;

Ps.  Ixii,  1,  4,  5.  Truly  my  soul 
waiteth  upon  God:  from  him 
Cometh  my  salvation.  They  only 
consult  to  cast  him  down  from  his 
excellency :  they  delight  in  hes : 
they  bless  with  their  mouth,  but 
they  curse  inwardly.  Selah.  My 
soul,  wait  thou  only  upon  God; 
for  my  e.xpectation  is  from  him.

In  the  beauty  of  holiness:  fear  be- 
fore him,  all  the  earth. 

Ps.  cxxx,  4-6.  But  there  is  for- 
giveness with  thoe,  that  thou 
mayest  be  feared.  I  wait  for  the 
Lord,  my  soul  doth  wait,  and  in 
his  word  do  I  hope.  My  soul 
toaiteth  for  the  Lord  more  than 
they  that  watch  for  the  morning;  I 
say,  more  than  they  that  watch  for 
the  morning, 

Isa.  viii,  17.  And  I  will  wait

have  mercy  upon  you:  for  the 
Lord  is  a  God  of  judgment : 
blessed  are  all  they  that  wait  for 
him,  • 

Isa.  xl,  81,  But  they  that  wait 
upon  the  Lord  shall  renew  their

shall  walk,  and  not  faint.

gogue. 

Ueb.  xl,  2L  By  faith  Jacob,

TO  MEDITATE  UPON  HIM.

deemer,

speak  of  wisdom;  and  the  medita- 
tion of  my  heart  shall  be  of  un- 
derstanding. 

Ps.  Ixxvii,  5,  6,  10-12.  I  have 
considered  the  days  of  old,  the 
years  of  ancient  times.  I  call  to 
remembrance  my  song  in  the 
night:  I  commune  with  mine  own 
heart;  and  my  spirit  made  diligent 
search.  And  I  said.  This  is  my 
infirmity:  but  I  will  remernberihQ 
years  of  the  right  hand  of  the 
most  High.  I  will  remember  the 
works  of  the  Lobd  ;  surely  I  will 
remember  thy  wonders  of  old.  I 
621 


will  meditate  also  of  all  thy  wort, 
and  talk  of  thy  doings. 

Ps.  cxix,  23, 24,  52.  Princes  also 
did  sit  and  speak  against  me:  but 
thy  servant  did  meditate  iu  thy 
statutes.  Tliy  testimonies  also 
are  mydeliglit,  and  my  counsel- 
lors. I  remembered  thy  judg- 
ments of  old,  O  Lord;  and  have 
comforted  myself. 

Ps.  cxliii,  5.  I  remember  tho

thoughts:  but  thy  law  do  1  love. 

Prov.  vi,  14, 15.  Frowardness  is 
in  his  heart,  he  deviseth  mischief 
continually;  he  soweth  discord. 
Therefore  shall  his  calamity  come 
suddenly;  suddenly  shall  he  be 
broken  without  remedy. 

Prov.  xii,  5,  6.  The  thoughts  of 
the  righteous  are  right:  but  the 
counsels  of  the  wicked  are  deceit. 
The  words  of  the  wicked  are  to 
lie  in  wait  for  blood  :  but  the 
mouth  of  the  upright  shall  dehver 
them. 

Prov.  XV,  26.  The  thoughts  of 
the  wicked  are  an  aboniination  to 
the  Lord:  but  the  words  of  the 
pure  are  pleasant  words. 

Prov.  xxiv,  8,  9, 11, 12.  He  that 
deviseth  to  do  evil  shall  be  called 
amischievous  person.  Thethought 
of  foolishness  is  sin;  and  the  scor- 
ner  is  an  abomination  to  men.  If 
thou  lorbear  to  deliver  them  that 
are  drawn  unto  death,  and  those 
that  are  ready  to  be  slain;  if  thou 
sayest,  Behold,  we  knew  it  not; 
doth  not  he  that  pondereth  the 
heart  consider  itl  and  he  that 
keepeth  thy  soul,  doth  not  he 
know  iti  and  shall  not  he  render 
to  every  man  according  to  bis 
works  ? 

Prov.  xxviii,  26.  He  that  trusteth 
in  his  own  heart  is  a  fooh  but,  who-

thine  heart  from  wickedness,  that 
thou  mayest  be  saved :  how  long 
shall  thy  vain  thoughts  lodge 
within  thee? 

Jer.  vi,  18, 19.  Therefore  heai, 
ye  nations,  and  know,  O  congre- 
gation, what  is  among  them. 
Hear,  O  earth:  behold,  I  will  bringf 
evil  upon  this  people,  even  the 
fruit  of  their  thoughts,  because 
they  have  not  hearkened  unto  my 
words,  nor  to  my  law,  but  rejected 
it. 

Ezelc.  zX,  21.   But  09  tor  them 


REDEMPTIOIT; 


whose  heart  wallceth  after  the 
heart  of  their  detestable  thing's 
and  their  abominations,  I  will  re- 
compense their  way  upon  their 
own  heads,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

Matth.  XV,  18-20.  But  those 
things  which  proceed  out  of  the 
mouth  come  fortli  trom  tlie  heart; 
and  they  defile  the  man.  For  out 
of  the  heart  proceed  evil  thoughts, 
murders,  adulteries,  fornications, 
thefts,  false  witness,  blasphemies. 
These  are  the  things  wliich  defile 
a  man:  but  to  eat  with  unwashen 
hands  deflleth  not  a  man. 

Mark  vii,  20-23.  And  he  said, 
That  which  coraeth  out  of  the 
man,  that  deflleth  the  man.  For 
from  within,  out  of  the  heart  of 
men,  proceed  evil  thoughts,  adul- 
teries, fornications,  murders. 
Thefts,  covetousness,  wickedness, 
deceit,  lasciviousness,  an  evil  eye, 
blasphemy,  pride,  foolishness:  All 
these  evil  things  come  from  with- 
in, and  deflle  the  man. 

Acts  viii,  21,22.  Thou  hast  neither 
part  nor  lot  in  this  matter:  for 
th5'  heart  is  not  right  in  the  sight 
of  God.  Repent  therefore  of  this 
thy  wickedness,  and  pray  God,  if 
perhaps  the  thought  of  thine 
heart  may  be  forgiven  thee. 

James  iv,  17.  Therefore  to  him 
that  knoweth  to  do  good,  and 
doeth  it  not,  to  him  it  is  sin. 

TEMPTATION. 

Prov.  ix,  15-17.  To  call  pas- 
sengers who  go  right  on  tlieir 
ways:  Whoso  is  simple,  let  him 
turn  in  hither:  and  as  for  him  that 
wanteth  understanding,  she  saith 
to  him.  Stolen  waters  are  sweet, 
and  bread  eaten  in  secret  is  plea- 
sant. 

Frov.  xii,  26.  The  righteous  is 
more  excellent  than  his  neigh- 
hour:  but  the  way  of  the  wicked 
seduceth  them. 

Frov.  xvi,  29.  A  violent  man 
enticeth  his  neighbour,  and  lead- 
eth  him  into  the  way  that  is  not 
good. 

Frov.  xxviii,  10.  Whoso  causeth 
the  righteous  to  go  astray  in  an 
evil  way,  he  shall  fall  himsiilf  into 
his  own  pit:  but  the  upright  shall 
have  good  things  in  possession. 

Matth.  iv,  10,  11.  Then  saith 
Jesus  unto  him.  Get  thee  hence, 
Satan:  for  it  is  written.  Thou  shalt 
worship  the  Lord  thy  God,  and 
him  only  shalt  thou  serve.  Then 
the  devil  leaveth  him,  and,  behold, 
angels  came  and  ministered  unto 
him. 

Matth  V,  19.  Whosoever  there- 
fore stiall  break  one  of  these  le.apt 
coiniiiandments,  and  shall  teach 
men  so,  he  shall  be  called  the  least 
In  the  kingdom  of  heaven:  but 
whosoever  shall  do  and  teach 


them,  the  same  shall  be  called 
great  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 

3fatth.  xviii,  6, 7.  But  whoso  shall 
oflend  one  of  these  little  ones 
which  believe  in  me,  it  were 
better  for  him  that  a  millstone 
were  hanged  about  his  neck,  and 
that  he  were  drowned  in  the  depth 
of  the  sea.  Woe  unto  the  world 
because  of  offences!  for  it  must 
needs  be  that  offences  come;  but 
woe  to  that  mgji  by  whom  the  of- 
fence Cometh! 

Matth.  xxiii,  13.  But  woe  unto 
you,  scribes  and  Pharisees,  hypo- 
crites! for  ye  shut  up  the  kingdom 
of  heaven  against  men:  for  ye 
neither  go  in  yourselves,  neither 
suffer  ye  them  that  are  entering 
to  go  in. 

Mark  iv,  15.  And  these  are  they 
by  the  way-side,  where  the  word 
is  sown;  but,  when  they  have 
heard,  Satan  cometh  immediately, 
and  taketh  away  the  word  that 
was  sown  in  their  hearts. 

Mark  ix,  42.  And  whosoever 
shall  offend  one  of  these  little  ones 
that  believe  in  me,  it  is  better  for 
him  that  a  millstone  were  hanged 
about  his  neck,  and  he  were  cast 
into  the  sea. 

Luke  xvii,  1,  2.  Then  said  he 
unto  the  disciples.  It  is  impossible 
but  that  offences  will  come:  but 
woe  unto  him  through  whom  they 
come!  It  were  better  for  him  that 
a  millstone  were  hanged  about  his 
neck,  and  he  cast  into  the  sea, 
than  that  he  should  offend  one  of 
these  little  ones. 

Luke  xxii,  40.  And  when  he  was 
at  the  place,  he  said  unto  them, 
Pray  that  ye  enter  not  into  tempt-

be  exalted  above  measure  through 
the  abundance  of  the  revelatious, 
tliere  was  given  to  me  a  thorn  in 
the  flesh,  the  messenger  of  Satan 
to  buffet  me,  lest  I  should  be  ex- 
alted above  measure. 

Eph.  ii,  2.  Wherein  in  time  past 
ye  walked  according  to  the  course 
(jf  this  world,  according  to  the 
prince  of  the  power  of  the  air,  the 
spirit  that  now  worJieth  iu  the 
children  of  disobedience. 

1  Thess.  ill,  6.  For  this  cause, 
when  I  could  no  longer  forbear,  1

some  means  the  tempter  have 
tempted  you,  and  our  labour  be  in 
vain. 

1  Tim.  V,  15.  For  sojne  are  al- 
ready turned  aside  after  Satan.

SAFEGUARD  AGAINST 
TEMPTATION. 

Watchfulness  and  Prayer.

our  prayer  unto  our  God,  and  set 
a  watch  against  them  day  and 
night,  because  of  them. 

Amos  iv,  12.  Therefore  thus  will 
I  do  unto  thee,  O  Israel:  and  be- 
cause I  will  do  this  unto  thee, 
prepare  to  meet  thy  God,  O  Israel. 

3Iatth.  xxiv,  42-44.  Watch  there- 
fore: for  ye  know  not  what  hour 
your  Lord  doth  come.  But  know 
this,  that  if  the  goodman  of  the 
house  had  known  in  what  watch 
the  thief  would  come,  he  would 
have  watched,  and  would  not  have 
suffered  his  house  to  be  broken 
up.  Tlierefore  be  ye  also  ready: 
for  in  such  an  hour  as  ye  think 
not  the  Son  of  man  cometh. 

Matth.  XXV,  13.  Watch  there- 
fore; for  ye  know  neither  the  day 
nor  the  hour  wherein  the  Son  of 
man  cometh. 

Matth.  xxvi,  40,  41.  And  he 
cometh  unto  the  disciples,  and 
tindeth  them  asleep,  and  saith 
unto  Peter,  What!  could  ye  not 
watch  with  me  one  hour?  Watch 
and  pray,  that  ye  enter  'not  into 
temptation:  the  spirit  indeed  is 
willing,  but  the  flesh  is  weak. 

Mark  xiii,  33-37.  Take  ye  heed, 
watch  and  pray:  for  ye  know  not 
when  the  time  is.  For  the  Son  oj 
man  is  as  a  man  taking  a  far 
journey,  who  left  his  house,  and 
gave  authority  to  his  servants,  and 
to  every  man  his  work,  and  com- 
manded the  porter  to  watch. 
Watch  ye  therefore;  for  ye  know 
not  when  the  master  of  the  house 
cometh.  at  even,  or  at  midnight, 
or  at  the  cock-crowing,  or  in  the 
morning;  Lest,  coming  suddenly, 
he  find  you  sleeping.  And  what 
I  say  unto  you,  1  suv  unto  all. 
Watch. 

Mark  xiv,  37, 38.  And  he  cometh, 
and  flndeth  them  sleeping,  and 
saith  unto  Peter,  Simon,  sleepest 
thou?  couldest  not  thou  watch  one 
hour?  Watch  ye,  and  pray,  lest  ye 
enter  into  temptation:  the  spirit 
truly  is  ready,  but  the  flesh  is 
weak. 

Luke  xii,  35-38.  Let  your  loins 
be  girded  about,  and  pour  lights 
burning;  And  ye  youisi'lves  like 
unto  men  that  wait  fur  their  lord, 
when  he  will  return  from  the 
wedding;  that,  when  he  cometh 
and  knocketh,  they  may  open  unto 
him  immediately.  '  Blessed  are 
those  servants,  whom  the  lord 
when  he  comeih  shall  find  watch- 
ing: verily  I  say  unto  you,  that  he 
shall  gird  himself,  and  make  them

to  Bit  down  to  meat,  and  will  come 
forth  and  serve  tbem.  And  if  lie 
shall  come  in  the  second  watch, 
or  come  in  the  third  watch,  and 
find  them  so,  blessed  are  those 
servants, 

Lnke  xxi,  33-36.  Heaven  and 
earth  sliall  pass  away;  but  my 
words  shall  not  pass  away.  And 
take  heed  to  yourselves,  lest  at 
any  time  your  hearts  be  over- 
charged with  surfeiting,  and 
drunkenness,  and  cares  of  this 
life,  and  so  that  day  come  upon 
yon  unawares.  For  as  a  snare 
shall  it  come  on  all  them  that 
dwell  on  the  face  of  the  whole 
earth.  Watch  ye  therefore,  and 
pray  always,  that  ye  may  be 
accounted  worthy  to  escape  all 
these  things  that  shall  come  to 
pass,  and  to  stand  before  the  Son 
of  man. 

Luke  xxll,  46.  And  said  unto 
them.  Why  steep  ye?  Rise  and 
pray,  lest  ye  enter  into  temptation. 

1  Cor.  xvi,  13  Watch  ye,  stand 
•fast  in  the  faith,  quit  you  like 
men,  be  strong. 

1  Peter  iv,  7.  But  the  end  of  all 
things  is  at  hand:  be  ye  therefore 
soher,  and  watch  unto  prayer. 

BevA\i,2,^.  Be  watchful,  and 
strengthen  the  things  which  re- 
main, that  are  ready  to  die:  for  I 
have  not  found  thy  works  perfect 
before  God.  Remember  there- 
fore how  thou  hast  received  and 
heard,  and  hold  fast,  and  repent. 
If  therefore  thou  shalt  not  watch, 
I  will  come  on  thee  as  a  thief,  and 
thou  Shalt  not  know  what  hour  I 
will  come  upon  thee. 

CAUTION     AGAINST    IN- 
GRATITUDE. 

Num.  xiv,  22.  Because  all  those 
men  which  have  seen  my  glory, 
and  my  miracles  which  I  did  in 
Egypt,  and  in  the  wilderness,  have 
templed  me  now  these  ten  times. 
Surely  they  shall  not  see  the  land 
wiiich  I  sware  unto  their  fathers.

quite the  Lord,  0  foolish  people 
and  unwise?  ^s  not  he  thy  father

not  made  thee,  and  established 
thee? 

2  Ohron.  xxxli,  25.  But  Heze- 
kiah  rendered  not  again  accord-

fore there  was  wrath  upon  him, 
and  upon  Judah  and  Jerusalem, 

Ps.  lxxviii,18.  41,  56.  And  they 
tempted  God  in  their  heart,  by 
asking  meat  for  their  lust.  Yea, 
they  turned  back,  and  tempted 
God,  and  limited  the  Holy  One  of 
Israel.     Yet  they  tempted  and 


provoked  the  most  hign  God,  and 
kept  not  his  testimonies. 

Isa.  xxvi,  10.  Let  favour  bo 
showed  to  the  wicked,  yet  will  he 
not  learn  righteousness:  in  the 
land  of  uprightness  will  he  deal 
unjustly,  and  will  not  behold  the 
majesty  of  the  Lord.

was  exalted:  therefore  have  they 
forgotten  me.

1  Cor.  X,  13.  There  hath  no 
temptation  taken  you  but  such  as 
is  common  to  man:  but  God  is 
failhful,  who  will  not  suffer  you 
to  be  tempted  above  that  ye  are 
able;  but  will  with  the  temptation 
also  make  a  way  to  escape,  that 
ye  may  be  able  to  bear  it. 

James  i,  13-15.  Let  no  man  say 
when  he  is  tempted,  I  am  tempted 
of  God:  for  God  cannot  be  tempted 
with  evil,  neither  tempteth  he 
any  man:  But  every  man  is 
tempted,  when  he  is  drawn  away 
of  his  own  lust,  and  enticed. 
Then,  when  lust  hath  conceived, 
it  bringeth  forth  sin;  and  sin, 
when  it  is  finished,  bringeth  forth 
death. 

Pev.  ill,  10.  Because  thou  hast 
kept  the  word  of  my  patience,  I 
aLso  will  keep  thee  from  the  hour 
of  temptation,  which  shall  come 
upon  all  the  world,  to  try  them 
that  dwell  upon  the  earth.

saith  the  Lord  God  of  hosts,  O  my 
people  that  dwellest  in  Zion,  be 
not  afraid  of  the  Assyrian:  he 
shall  smite  thee  with  a"  rod,  and 
shall  litt  up  his  staff  against  thee, 
after  the  manner  of  Egypt.  For 
yet  a  very  little  while,  and  the 
indignation  shall  cease,  and  mine 
anger,  in  their  destruction. 

Isa.  11,  7,  8.  Hearken  unto  me, 
ye  that  know  righteousness,  the 
people  in  whose  heart  is  my  law; 
fear  ye  not  the  reproach  of  men, 
neither  be  ye  afraid  of  their  re- 
vilings:  For  the  moth  shall  eat 
them  up  like  a  garment,  and  the 
worm  shall  eat  them  like  wool: 


but  my  righteousne'ps  shall  be  for 
ever,  and  my  salvation  from 
generation  to  generation. 

Jer.  xvii,  5,  6.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Cursed  be  the  man  that 
trusteth  in  man,  and  maketh  flesh 
his  arm,  and  whose  heart  depart- 
eth  from  the  Lord:  For  he  shall 
be  like  the  heath  in  the  desert, 
and  shall  not  see  when  good  Com- 
eth; but  shall  inhabit  the  parched 
places  in  the  wilderness,  in  a  salt 
land  and  not  inhabited. 

Matth.  X,  26.  Fear  them  not 
therefore:  for  there  is  nothing 
covered,  that  shall  not  be  reveal- 
ed; and  hid,  that  shall  not  be 
known. 

John  XV,  18, 19.  If  the  world 
hate  you,  ye  know  that  it  hated 
me  before  it  hated  you.  If  ye 
were  of  the  world,  the  world 
would  love  his  own:  but  because 
ye  are  not  of  the  world,  but  I 
have  chosen  you  out  of  the  world, 
therefore  the  world  hateth  you. 

John  xvii,  14-18.  I  have  given 
them  thy  word;  and  the  world 
hated  them,  because  they  are  not 
of  the  world,  even  as  I  am  not  of 
the  world."  I  pray  not  that  thou 
shouldest  take  them  out  of  the 
world,  but  that  thou  shouldest 
keep  them  from  the  evil.  They 
are  not  of  the  world,  even  as  I  am 
not  of  the  world.  Sanctify  them 
through  thy  truth:  thy  word  is 
truth.  As  thou  hast  sent  me  into 
the  world,  even  so  have  I  also 
sent  them  into  the  world, 

Rom.  xii,  2.  And  be  not  con- 
formed to  thi»  world;  but  be  ye 
transformed  by  the  renewing  of 
your  mind,  that  ye  may  prove 
what  is  that  good,  and  acceptable, 
and  perfect  will  of  God. 

Col.  iii,  2.  Set  your  affection  on 
thim^s  above,  not  on  things  on  the 
earth, 

James  iv,  4.  Ye  adulterers  and 
adulteresses,  know  ye  not  that 
the  friendship  of  the  world  is 
enmity  with  God?  whosoever 
therefore  will  be  a  friend  of  the 
world  is  the  enemy  of  God. 

1  John  11,  15-18.  Love  not  the 
world,  neither  the  things  that  are 
in  the  world.  If  any  man  love  the 
world,  the  love  of  the  Father  is 
not  in  him.  For  all  that  is  in  the 
world,  the  lust  of  the  flesh,  and 
the  Inst  of  the  eyes,  and  the  pride 
of  life,  is  not  of  the  Father,  but  is 
of  the  world.  And  the  world 
passeth  away,  and  the  lust  there- 
of: but  he  that  doeth  the  will  of 
God  abideth  for  ever.  Little 
children,  it  is  the  last  time:  and  as 
ye  have  heard  that  antichrist 
shall  come,  even  now  are  there 
many  antichrists;  whereby  we 
know  that  it  is  the  last  time.

1  JoTin  !▼,  4, 6.  Ye  are  of  God,  |  to  destroy  them :  he  will  not  b© 


little  children,  and  have  overcome 
them;  because  greater  is  he  that 
is  in  you,  than  he  that  is  in  the 
world.  They  are  of  the  world: 
therefore  speak  they  of  the  world, 
and  the  world  hearelh  them.

Matth.  xviii,  8,  9.  Wherefore,  if 
thy  hand  or  thy  foot  offend  thee, 
cut  them  off,  and  cast  them  from 
thee:  it  is  better  for  thee  to  enter 
into  fife  halt  or  maimed,  rather 
than  having  two  hands,  or  two 
feet,  to  be  cast  into  everlasting 
fire.  And  if  thine  eye  offend  thee, 
pluck  it  out,  and  cast  it  from  thee: 
it  is  better  for  thee  to  eater  into 
life  with  one  eye,  rather  than 
having  two  eyes  to  be  cast  into 
hell-fire. 

31arJc  viil,  34.  And  when  he  had 
called  the  people  unto  him,  wiib 


hl8  disciples  also,  he  said  unto 
them,  Whosoever  will  come  after 
me,  let  him  deny  him^elf,and  take 
up  his  cross,  and  follow  me. 

Luke,  ix,  23.  And  he  said  to  them 
all.  If  any  man  wfil  come  after  me, 
let  him  deny  himself,  and  take  up 
his  cross  daily,  and  follow  me. 

Luke  xiv,  27.  And  whosoever 
doth  not  bear  his  cross,  and  come 
after  me,  cannot  be  my  disciple. 

Luke  xvii,  33.  Whosoever  shall 
seek  to  save  his  life,  sliall  lose  it; 
and  wliosoever  shall  lose  his  life, 
shall  preserve  it. 

Luke  xviii,  27-30.  And  he  said, 
The  things  which  are  impossible 
with  men  are  possible  with  God. 
Then  Peter  said,  Lo,  we  have  left 
all,  and  followed  thee.  And  he 
said  unto  them.  Verily  I  say  unto 
you.  There  is  no  man  that  hath 
left  house,  or  parents,  or  brethren, 
or  wife,  or  cliildren,  for  the  king- 
dom of  God's  sake,  Who  siiail 
not  receive  manifold  more  in  this 
present  time,  and  in  the  world  to 
come  life  everlasting. 

John  xil,  25.  He  that  loveth  his 
life  shall  lose  it;  and  he  that  hat- 
eth  his  life  in  this  world  shall 
keep  it  unto  life  eternal. 

Bom.  viii,  12,  13.  Therefore, 
brethren,  we  are  debtors,  not  to 
the  flesh,  to  live  after  the  flesh. 
For  if  ye  live  after  the  flesh,  ye 
shall  die:  but  if  ye  through  the 
Spirit  do  mortify  the  deeds  of  the 
body,  ye  shall  live. 

Gal.  V,  24.  And  they  that  are 
Christ's  have  crucified  the  flesh, 
with  the  affections  and  lusts. 

Col.  iii,  5-7.  Mortify  therefore 
your  members  which  are  upon 
the  earth;  fornication,  unclean- 
ness,  inordinate  affection,  evil 
concupiscence,  and  covetousness, 
which  is  idolatry:  For  which 
things'  sake  the  wrath  of  God 
Cometh  on  the  children  of  dis- 
obedience. In  the  which  ye  also 
walked  sometime,  when  ye  lived 
in  them. 

Demanding  Zeal. 

1  Cor.  xiv,  12.  Even  so  ye,  for- 
asmuch as  ye  are  zealous  ot  spirit- 
ual gifts,  seek  that  ye  may  excel 
to  the  edifying  of  the  church. 

Gal.  iv,  17,  18.  They  zealously 
affect  you.  but  not  well;  yea,  they 
would  exclude  you,  that  ye  might 
affect  them.  But  it  is  good  to  be 
zealously  affected  always  in  a 
good  thing,  and  not  only  when  I 
am  present  with  you. 

Jude  3.  Beloved,  when  I  gave 
all  diligence  to  write  unto  you  of 
the  common  salvation,  it  was 
needful  lor  me  to  write  unto  you, 
and  exhort  you,  that  ye  should 
earnestly  contend  for  the  faith 
which  was  once  delivered  unto 
the  saints.

Itev.  \\\,  15,  16.  I  know  thy 
ivorks,  that  thou  art  neither  cold 
nor  hot:  I  would  thou  wert  cold 
or  hot.  So  then  because  thou  art 
lukewarm,  and  neither  cold  nor 
hot,  I  will  epue  thee  out  of  mj 
mouth. 

Num.  XXV,  11-13.  Phinehas,  the 
son  of  Eleazar,  the  son  of  Aaron 
the  priest,  hath  turned  my  wrath 
away  from  the  children  of  Israel, 
while  he  was  zealous  for  my  sake 
among  them,  that  I  consumed 
not  the  children  of  Israel  in  my 
jealousy.  Wherefore  say,  Behold, 
I  give  unto  him  my  covenant  of 
peace:  And  he  shall  have  it,  and 
his  seed  after  him,  even  the  cove- 
nant of  an  everlasting  priesthood; 
because  he  was  zealous  for  his 
God,  and  made  an  atonement  for 
the  children  of  Israel. 

2  Chr.  xxxi,  20, 21.  And  thus  did 
Hezekiah  throughout  all  Judah, 
and  wrought  that  which  was  good, 
and  right,  and  truth,  before  the 
LoBD  his  God.  And  in  every  work 
that  he  began  in  the  service  of 
the  house  of  God,  and  in  the  law, 
and  in  the  commandments,  to  seek 
his  God,  ho  did  it  with  all  his 
heart,  and  prospered. 

2  Cor.  vii.  11.  For  behold  this 
self-same  thing,  that  ye  sorrowed 
after  a  godly  sort,  what  careful- 
ness it  wroug'it  in  you,  yea,  lohat 
clearing  ol  yourselves,  yea,  what 
Indiirnation,  yea,  ivhat  fear,  yea. 
what  vehement  tiesire,  yea,  ichat 
zeal,  yea,  what  revenge!  In  all 
things  ye  have  approved  your- 
selves to  be  clear  in  this  matter. 

2  Cor.  xi,  28  30.  Besides  those 
things  that  are  witliout.  that 
which  Cometh  upon  me  daily,  the 
care  of  all  the  churches.  Who 
is  weak,  and  I  am  not  we;ik?  who 
is  olTended,  and  I  burn  not?  If  I 
must  needs  glory,  I  will  glory  of 
the  things  which  concern  mine 
infirmities. 

Col.  Jv,  13.  For  I  bear  him  re- 
conl,  that  he  hath  a  great  zeal  for 
you,  and  them  that  are  in  Lao- 
dicea,  and  them  in  Hierapolis. 


2  Kings  x,  16.  And  he  said, 
Come  with  me,  and  see  my  zeal 
tor  the  LoBo.  So  they  made  him 
ride  in  his  chariot. 

Matth.  xxlv,  12.  And  because 
Iniquity  shall  abound,  the  love  of

Acts  xxii,  2,  S.  And  when  they

brew t(Migue  to  them,  tliey  kept

the  law  of  the  fathers,  and  was 
zealous  toward  God,  as  ye  all  are 
this  day. 

Rom.  X,  2.  For  I  bear  them  re- 
cord that  they  have  a  zeal  of  God, 
but  not  according  to  knowledge. 

Phil,  iii,  6.  Concerning  zeal, 
persecuting  the  church;  toucliing 
the  righteousness  which  is  in  the 
law,  blameless. 

And  Universal  Charity. 

Eom.  xiv,  1-3.  Him  that  is 
weak  in  the  faitli  receive  ye,  but 
not  to  doubtful  disputations.  For 
one  believeth  that  he  may  eat  all 
things:  another,  who  is  weak,  eat- 
eth  herbs.  Let  not  him  tliat  eateth 
despise  him  that  eateth  not;  and 
let  not  him  which  eateth  not 
judge  him  that  eateth:  for  God 
hath  received  him. 

1  Cor.  vi,  12.  All  things  are  law- 
fnl  unto  me,  but  all  tldngs  are  not 
expedient:  all  tilings  are  lawful 
for  me,  but  I  will  not  be  brought 
under  the  power  of  any. 

1  Cor.  X,  23.  All  things  are  law- 
ful  for  me,  but  all  things  are  not 
expedient:  all  things  are  lawful 
for  me,  but  all  things  edify  not. 

1  Cor.  xiil,  1-10,  13.  Thou-h  I 
epeak  with  tlie  tongues  of  men 
and  of  angels,  and  have  not 
cliarity,  I  am  become  as  sounding 
brass,  or  a  tinkling  cymbal.  And 
though  I  have  <//e  {/(/"^  o/ prophecy, 
and  understand  all  mysteries,  and 
all  knowledge;  and  though  I  have 
all  faith,  so  that  I  could  remove 
mountains,  and  have  not  charity, 
I  am  nothing.  And  though  I  be- 
stow all  my  goods  to  feed  ihepoor, 
and  though  I  give  my  body  to  be 
burned,  and  have  not  charity,  it 
prottteth  me  nothing.  Charity 
suffereth  long  and  is  kind;  charity 
envieth  not;  charity  vaunteth  not 
itself,  is  not  puffed  up.  Doth  not 
behave  itself  unseemly,  seeketh 
not  her  own,  is  not  easily  provok- 
ed, thiuketh  no  evil;  Rajoiceth 
not  in  iniquity,  but  rejoiceth  in 
the  truth;  Beareth  all  things, 
believeth  all  things,  hopeth  all 
things,  endureth  all  things. 
Charity  never  faileth:  but  whether 
there  be  proplrecies,  they  shall 
fail;  whether  there  be  tongues, 
thiy  shall  cease;  whetlier  there  be 
knowledge,  it  shall  vanislj  away. 
For  we  know  in  part,  and  we  pro- 
phesy in  part.  But  when  that 
which  is  perfect  is  come,  then 
that  which  is  in  part  shall  be  done 
away.  And  now  abideth  faith, 
hope,  charity,  these  three;  but  the 
greatest  of  these  is  cliarity. 

1  (;;or.  xvi,  14.  Let  all  your 
things  be  done  with  charity. 

(7oi.  ill.  14.  And  above  all  these 
things  put  on  charity,  which  is 
the  bond  of  perfectuess. 

1  Tim.  i,  6.  Now  the  end  of  the 
626 


commandment  fs  charity  out  of  a 
pure  heart,  and  of  a  good  con- 
science, and  ot  faith  unfeigned. 

Titus  iii  8.  This  is  a  faithful 
saying,  and  these  things  I  will 
that  thou  affirm  constantly,  that 
they  which  have  believed  in  God 
might  be  careful  to  maintain 
good  works.  These  things  are 
good  and  profitable  unto  men. 

CONSCIENCE. 

ITS  UNIVKUSAL  POWER. 

Bom.  ii,  14,  15.  For  when  the 
Gentiles,  which  have  not  the  law, 
do  by  nature  the  things  contained 
in  the  law,  these,  having  not  the 
law,  are  a  law  unto  themselves; 
Which  shew  tlie  work  of  the  law 
written  in  tlieir  hearts,  their  con- 
science also  bearing  witness,  and 
their  thoughts  the  mean  wliile 
accusing  or  else  excusing  one 
another. 

An  Evil  Conscience. 

Gen.  xlii,  21,  22.  And  they  said 
one  to  another.  We  are  verily 
guilty  concerning  our  brother,  in 
that  we  saw  the  anguish  of  hia 
soul,  when  he  besought  us,  and 
we  would  not  hear,  therefore  is 
this  distress  come  upon  us.  And 
Iteuben  answered  them,  saying. 
Spake  I  not  unto  you,  saying,  Do 
not  sin  against  the  child?  and  ye 
would  not  hear;  therefore,  behold, 
also  his  blood  is  required. 

1  Kings  ii,  44.  Tlie  king  said 
moreover  to  Shimei,  Tliou  know- 
est  all  the  wickedne.-s  which 
thine  heart  is  privy  to,  that  thou 
didst  to  David  my  father;  there- 
fore the  Lord  shall  return  thy 
wickedness  upon  thine  own  head. 

1  Kings  xxi,  20.  And  Ahab  said 
to  Elijah,  Hast  thou  found  me,  O 
mine  enemy?  And  he  answered,  I 
have  found  thee;  because  thou 
hast  sold  thyself  to  work  evil  iu 
the  sight  of  the  Lord. 

Job  XV,  21-21.  A  dreadful  sound 
is  in  his  ears:  in  prosperity  the 
destroyer  shall  come  upon  him. 
He  believeth  not  that  he  shall 
return  out  of  darkness,  and  he  is 
waited  for  of  the  sword.  He 
waiulereth  abroad  for  bread,  say- 
ing,  Wliere  is  it?  he  knoweth  that 
the  day  of  darkness  is  ready  at  his 
hand.  Trouble  and  anguish 
shall  make  him  afraid;  they  shall 
prevail  against  him,  as  a  king 
ready  to  the  battle. 

Fs.  xiv,  5.  There  were  they  in 
great  fear:  for  God  is  in  the 
generation  of  the  righteous. 

Fs.  liii,  5.  There  were  they  in 
great  fear,  where  no  fear  was;  for 
God  hath  scattered  the  bones  of 
him  that  encampeth  against  thee: 
thou  hast  put  them  to  shame, 
bi- cause  God  hath  despised 
them. 


REDEMPTION". 


Prov.  xl,  23.  The  desire  of  the 
righteous  is  only  good:  but  the 
expectation  of  the  wicked  is  wrath. 

JDan.  vi,  U.  Then  the  king, 
when  he  heard  these  words,  was 
sore  displeased  with  himself,  and 
Bet  his  heart  on  Daniel  to  deliver 
him;  and  he  laboured  till  the 
going  down  of  the  sun  to  deliver 
him. 

John  iii,  19,  20.  And  this  is  the 
condemnation,  that  light  is  come 
into  the  world,  and  men  loved 
darkness  rather  than  light,  be- 
cause their  deeds  were  evil.  For 
every  one  that  doeth  evil  hateth 
the  light,  neither  cometh  to  the 
light,  lest  his  deeds  should  he  re- 
proved. 


f  John  viii,  9.  And  they  which 
heard  it,  being  convicted  by  their 
;  own  conscience,  went  out  one  by 
i  one,  beginning  at  the  eldest,  even 
unto  the  last:  and  Jesus  was  left 
alone,  and  the  woman  standing  in 
the  midst. 

1  Tim.  if,  2.  Speaking  lies  in 
hypocrisy;having  tlieir  conscience 
seared  with  a  hot  iron. 

Titus  i,  15.  Unto  the  pure  all 
things  ai'e  pure:  but  unto  them 
that  are  defiled  and  unbelieving 
is  nothing  pure;  but  even  their 
mind  and  conscience  is  defiled. 

A  Good  Conscience, 
John  iii,  21.    But  he  tliat  doeth 
truth  cometh  to  the  light,  that  his 
627 


deeds  may  be  made  manifest, 
that  they  ure  wrought  in  God. 

Acts  xxiv,  16.  And  herein  do  I 
exercise  myself,  to  have  always  a 
conscience  void  of  off  nee  to- 
ward God,  and  toioard  men. 

2  Cor.  i,  12.  For  our  r.  joicing  is 
this,  the  testimuny  of  our  con- 
science, that  in  simplicity  and 
godly  sincerity,  not  with  fleshly 
wi-dom,  but  by  the  grace  ot  God, 
we  have  hud  our  conversation  in 
the  world,  and  more  abundantly 
to  you- ward. 

Heb.  is.,  14.  IIow  much  more 
shall  the  blood  of  Christ,  who 
through  the  eternal  Spirit  offered 
liinibeil  without  spot  to  God, 
purge  your  conscience  from  dead 
works  to  serve  the  hviug  Godl 


SABBATH  AND  HOLY  DAYS, 


ist. 

THE  PATKIARCnAL 

SABBATH. 

Gen.  H,  1-3.  Thus  the  heavens 
end  tbe  earth  were  finished,  and 
all  the  host  of  them.  And  on  the 
seventh  day  God  ended  his  worli 
which  he  had  made;  and  he  rest- 
ed on  the  seventli  day  from  all 
Ills  work  which  he  had  made. 
And  Gud  blessed  the  seventh  day, 
and  sanctitted  it;  because  that  ia 
it  he  had  rested  from  all  his 
worli  which  God  created  and 
made. 

Heb.  iv,  3-5.  For  we  which  have 
believed  do  enter  into  rest,  as  he 
said,  As  I  have  sworn  In  my 
wrath,  if  they  shall  enter  into  my 
rest:  although  the  works  were 
finished  from  tlie  foundation  of 
the  world.  For  he  spake  in  a 
certain  pdace  of  the  seventh  day 
on  this  wise,  And  God  did  rest 
the  seventh  day  from  all  his 
works.  And  in  this  place  again, 
If  they  shall  enter  into  my  rust. 

2nd, 
JEWISH  SABBATH. 

Exod.  xxiii,  12.  Six  days  thon 
Bhalt  do  tliy  work,  and  on  the 
seventh  day  thou  shall  rest;  that 
thine  ox  and  thine  ass  may  rest, 
and  the  son  of  thy  handmaid  and 
the  stranger  may  be  refreshed. 

Exod.  xxxi,  13,  16,  17.  Speak 
thou  also  unto  the  chiUlren  of  Is- 
rael, saying,  Verily  my  sabbaths 
ye  shall  keep :  tor  it  is  a  sign  be- 
tween me  and  you  throughout 
your  generations ;  that  ye  may 
know  that  1  am  the  Lokd  that 
doth  sanctify  you.  Wherefore 
the  children  of  Israel  shall  keep 
the  sabbath,  to  observe  the  sab- 
bath througliout  their  generations, 
for  a  perpetual  covenant.  It  is  a 
sign  between  me  and  the  children 
of  Israel  for  ever:  for  in  si-x  days 
yie  Lord  made  heaven  and  eartli, 
fcnd  on  the  seventh  day  he  rested, 
Mid  was  refreshed. 

Lev.  xxiii,  32.  It  Shall  be  onto 
you  a  sabbatli  of  rest,  and  ye  shall 
tifflict  your  souls:  in  the  ninth  day 
of  the  month  at  even,  from  even 
anto  even,  shall  ye  celebrate  your 
labbath. 

Lev.  xxvl,  2.  Ye  shall  keep  my 
sabbatlis,  and  reverence  my  sanc- 
tuary: I  am  the  Lobd. 

Deut.  V,  12,  15.  Keep  the  sab- 
bath-day    to   sanctify   it,  as   the 


thee.  And  remember  that  then 
wast  a  servant  in  the  land  of 
Egypt,  and  that  the  Loed  thy 
God  brought  thee  out  thence, 
through  a  mighty  hand,  and  by  a 
stretched-out  arm :  therefore  the 
LoED  thy  God  commanded  thee  to 
keep  the  sabbath-day. 

Neh.  ix,  14.  And  madest  known 
unto  them  thy  holy  sabbath, 
and  commandedst  them  precepts, 
statutes,  and  laws,  by  the  hand  of 
Moses  thy  servant. 

Isaiah  Ixvi,  23.  And  it  shall 
come  to  pass,  that  from  one  new- 
moon  to  another,  and  from  one 
sabbath  to  another,  shall  all  flesh 
come  to  worship  before  me,  saith 
the  Lord. 

Ezek.  XX,  12, 20.  Moreover  also,  I 
gave  them  my  sabbaths,  to  be  a 
sign  between  me  and  them,  that 
they  might  know  that  I  am  the 
Loud  that  sanctify  them.  And 
hallow  my  sabbaths;  and  they 
shall  be  a  sign  between  me  and 
you,  that  ye  may  know  that  I  am 
the  LoKD  your  God. 

Matt,  xxiv,  20.  But  pray  ye  that 
your  flight  be  not  in  the  winter, 
neither  on  the  sabbath-day. 

Mark  xv,  42.  And  now,  when 
the  even  was  come,  (because  it 
was  the  preparation,  that  is,  the 
day  before  the  sabbath.) 

Luke  xxiii,  54.  And  that  day 
was  tlie  preparation,  and  the  sab- 
bath drew  on. 

HOW  TO  BE  KEPT  IN  THE 

WILDERNESS. 
Exod.  xvi,  5,  22-30.  And  it  shall 
come  to  pass,  that  on  the  sixth  day 
they  shall  prepare  that  which  they 
bring  in;  and  it  shall  be  tAvice  as 
much  as  they  gather  daily.  And 
it  came  to  pass,  that  on  the  sixth 
day  they  gathered  twice  as  much 
bread,  two  omers  for  one  man: 
and  all  the  rulers  of  the  congrega- 
tion came  and  told  Moses.  And 
he  said  unto  them.  This  is  that 
which  the  Lord  hath  said.  To- 
morrow is  the  rest  of  the  holy  sab- 
bath unto  the  Lord:  bake  that 
which  ye  will  bake  to-day:  and 
seethe  that  ye  wftl  seethe;  and 
that  which  remaineth  over  lay  up 
for  you  to  be  kept  until  the  morn- 
ing. And  they  laid  it  up  till  the 
morning,  as  Moses  bade:  and  it 
did  not  stink,  neither  was  there 
any  worm  therein.  And  Moses 
said,  Eat  that  to-day;  for  to-day  is  j 
a  uabbatU  unto  the  Lu£0  i  to-Uuy  j 

m 


ye  shall  not  find  It  in  the  field. 
Six  days  ye  shall  gather  it;  but  on 
the  seventh  day,  which  is  the  sab- 
bath. In  it  there  shall  be  none. 
And  it  came  to  pass,  that  there 
went  out  some  of  the  people  on 
the  seventh  day  for  to  gather,  and 
they  found  none.  And  the  Loed 
said  unto  Moses,  How  long  reluse 
ye  to  keep  my  commandments  and 
my  laws?  See,  for  that  the  Lord 
hath  given  you  the  sabbath,  there- 
fore he  giveth  you  on  the  sixth

ye  every  man  in  his  place  ;  let  no

Lord,  Take  heed  to  yourselves,

gates  of  Jerusalem;  Neither  carry 
loTtli  a  burden  out  of  your  houses

SABBATH  AND  HOLY  DAYS. 


when  the  Jews  were  gone  out  of 
the  synagogue,  the  Gentiles  be- 
sought that  these  words  might  be 
preached  to  them  the  next  sab- 
bath. And  the  next  sabbath-day 
came  almost  the  wliole  city  to- 
gether to  hear  the  word  of  God. 

Acts  xvi,  13.  And  on  the  sabbath 
■we  went  out  of  the  city  by  a  river-

made;  and  we  sat  down,  and  spake 
unto  the  women  which  resorted 
thither. 

Acts  xvli,  1,  2.  Now,  when  they 
had  passed  through  Amphipolis

them,  and  three  sabbath-days 
reasoned  with  them  out  of  the 
scriptures.

In  the  synagogue  every  sabbath,

WORKS  OF  RELIGION, 

NECESSITY,  AND  MERCY  TO 

BE  DONE. 

2  Kings  xi,  5,  7,  9.  And  he  com- 
manded tliem,  saying,  Tliis  is  the 
thing  that  ye  shall  do;  A  third 
part  of  you  that  enter  in  on  the 
sabbath  sliall  even  be  keepers  of 
the  watch  of  the  king's  house. 
And  two  parts  of  all  you  that  go 
forth  on  the  sabbath,  even  they 
shall  keep  the  watch  of  the  house 
of  the  Lord  about  the  king.  And 
the  captains  over  the  hundreds 
did  according  to  all  things  that 
Jehoiada  the  priest  commanded: 
and  they  took  every  man  his  men 
that  were  to  come  in  on  the  sab- 
bath, with  them  that  should  go 
out  on  the  sabbath,  and  came  to 
Jehoiada  the  priest. 

2  Ghron.  xxiii,  4,  8.  This  Is  the 
thing  that  ye  shall  do;  A  third 
part  of  you  entering  on  the  sab- 
bath, of  the  priests  and  of  the 
Levites,  shall  be  porters  of  the 
loors:  So  the  Levites  and  all 
Judah  did  according  to  all  things 
that  Jehoiada  the  priest  had  com- 
manded, and  took  every  man  his 
men  tliat  were  to  come  in  on  the 
sabbath,  with  them  that  were  to 
JO  out  on  the  sabbath:  for  Jehoia- 
la  the  priest  •  dismissed  not  the 
30urses. 

Ezek.  xlvl,  2-4.  And  the  prince 
ihall  enter  by  the  way  of  the 
porch  of  that  gate  without,  and 
shall  stand  by  tlie  post  of  the  gate, 
and  the  priests  shall  prepare  his 
burnt-oflering,  and  his  peace- 
offerings,  and  he  shall  worship  at 
the  thresSiold  of  the  gate:  then  he 
shall  go  forth;  but  the  gate  shall 
not  be  shut  until  the  evening 
Likewise  the  peogle  of  the  land 
shall  worsliip  al  the  door  of  this 


gate  before  the  Lord  In  the  sab- 
baths, and  In  the  new-moons.  And 
the  burnt-offering  that  the  prince 
shall  offer  unto  the  Lord  in  the 
sabbath  day  shall  be  six  lambs 
without  blemish,  and  a  ram  with- 
out blemish. 

Matth.  xii,  5, 10-12.  Or  have  ye 
not  read  in  the  law,  how  that  on 
the  sabbath-days  the  priests  in 
the  temple  profane  the  sabbath, 
and  are  blameless?  And,  behold, 
there  was  a  man  which  had  his 
hand  withered.  And  they  asked 
him,  saying,  Is  it  lawful  to  heal  on 
the  sabbath  days?  that  they  might 
accuse  him.  And  he  said  unto 
them.  What  man  shall  there  be 
among  you,  that  shall  have  one 
sheep,  and  if  it  fall  into  a  pit  on  the 
sabbath  day,  will  he  not  lay  hold 
on  it,  and  lift  it  out?  How  much 
then  is  a  man  better  than  a  sheep? 
Wherefore  it  is  lawful  to  do  well 
on  the  sabbath  days. 

Luke  vi,  9, 10.  Then  said  Jesus 
unto  them,  I  will  ask  you  one 
thing;  Is  it  lawful  on  the  sabbath- 
days  to  do  good,  or  to  do  evil?  to 
save  life,  or  to  destroy  itf  And 
looking  round  about  upon  them 
all,  he  said  unto  the  man.  Stretch 
forth  thy  hand.  And  he  did  so: 
and  his  hand  was  restored  whole 
as  the  other. 

Luke  xiil,  14-16.  And  the  ruler 
of  the  synagogue  answered  with 
indignation,  because  that  Jesus 
had  healed  on  the  sabbath-day, 
and  said  unto  the  people.  There 
are  six  days  in  which  men  ought 
to  work:  in  them  therefore  come 
and  be  healed,  and  not  on  the 
sabbath  -  day.  The  Lord  then 
answered  him,  and  said.  Thou 
hypoct-ite,  doth  not  each  one  of 
you  on  the  sabbath  loose  his  ox 
or  his  ass  from  the  stall,  and  lead 
him  away  to  watering?  And 
ought  not  this  woman,  being  a 
daughter  of  Abraham,  whom 
Satan  hath  bound,  lo,  these  eigh- 
teen years,  be  loosed  from  this 
bond  on  the  sabbath-day? 

John  vli,  22, 23.  Moses  therefore 
gave  unto  you  circumcision;  (not 
because  it  is  of  Moses,  but  of  tlie 
fathers;)  and  ye  on  the  sabbath- 
day  circumcise  a  man.  If  a  man 
on  the  sabbath-day  receive  cir- 
cumcision, that  the  law  of  Moses 
should  not  be  broken;  are  ye 
angry  at  me,  because  I  have  made 
a  man  every  whit  whole  on  the 
sabbath-day;^ 

SUPERSTITIOUS  OBSERV- 
ANCE OP  THE  SABBATH. 

Matth.  xii,  1,  2.  At  that  time 
Jesus  went  on  the  sabbath  day 
through  the  corn;  and  his  disci- 
ples were  an  hungered,  and  began 
to  pluck  the  ears  of  corn,  and  to 


eat.    But  when    the    Pharisees 

saw  it.  tliey  said  unto  him.  Behold, 
thy  disciples  do  that  which  is  not 
lawful  to  do  upon  the  sabbath- 
day. 

Mark  li,  23,  24.  And  It  came  to 
pass,  that  he  went  through  the 
corn  fields  on  tjie  sabbath  day; 
and  his  discipl^  began,  as  they 
went,  to  pluck  the  ears  of  com. 
And  the  Pharisees  said  unto  him, 
Behold,  wliy  do  they  on  the  sab- 
bath-day that  which  is  not  lawful? 

Luke  vi,  1,  2,  5-7.  And  it  came 
to  pass  on  the  second  sabbath 
after  the  first,!  hat  he  went  through 
the  corn  fields;  and  his  disciples 
plucked  the  ears  of  corn,  and  did 
eat,  rubbing  them  in  their  hands. 
And  certain  of  the  Pharisees  said 
unto  them.  Why  do  ye  that  which 
is  not  lawful  to  do  on  the  sabbath- 
days?  And  he  said  unto  them, 
Tliat  the  Son  of  man  is  Lord  also 
of  the  sabbath.  And  it  came  to 
pass  also  on  another  sabbath,  that 
he  entered  into  the  synagogue 
and  taught:  and  there  was  a  man 
whose  right  hand  was  withered. 
And  the  scribes  and  Pharisees 
watched  him,  whether  he  would 
heal  on  the  sabbath-day;  that  they 
might  find  an  accusation  against 
him. 

Luke  xiii,  14.  And  the  ruler  of 
the  synagogue  ansAvered  with  in- 
dignation, because  that  Jesus  had 
healed  on  the  sabbath  day,  and 
said  unto  the  people.  There  are 
six  days  in  which  men  ought  to 
work:  in  them  therefore  come  and 
be  healed,  and  not  on  the  sabbath 
day. 

John  V,  10, 11.  The  Jews  there- 
fore said  unto  him  that  was  cured> 
It  is  the  sabbath  day:  it  is  not 
lawful  for  tliee  to  carry  thy  bed. 
He  answered  tliem.  He  that  made 
me  whole,  the  same  said  unto  me. 
Take  up  thy  bed,  and  walk. 

Acts  i,  12.  Then  returned  they 
unto  Jerusalem  from  the  mount 
called  Olivet,  which  is  from  Jeru- 
salem a  sabbath  day's  journey. 

SABBATH  PROFANATION. 

2  Kings  xvi,  18.  And  the  covert 
for  the  sabbath  that  they  had 
built  in  the  house,  and  the  king's 
entry  without,  turned  he  from  the 
house  of  the  Lobd  for  the  king  of 
Assyria. 

Xeh.  xlii,  15-18.  In  those  days 
saw  I  In  Juda^i  some  treading 
wine-presses  on  the  sabbath,  and 
bringing  In  sheaves,  and  lading 
asses;  as  also  wine,  grapes,  and 
figs,  and  all  rnanner  of  burdens, 
which  they  brought  into  Jerusa- 
lem on  the  sahbath-day:  and  I 
testified  against  them  in  the  day 
wherein  they  sold  victuals.  There 
dwelt  men  of  Tyre  also  therein, 


SABBATH  AKD  HOLY  DAYS. 


trhfch  brought  flsh,  and  all  man- 
ner of  ware,  and  sold  on  the  sab- 
bath unto  the  children  of  Judah, 
and  in  Jerusalem.  Then  I  con- 
tended with  the  nobles  of  Judah, 
and  said  unto  them,  What  evil 
thing  is  this  that  ye  do,  and  T»ro- 
fane  tbe  sabbath-day?  Did  not 
your  fathers  thus,  and  did  not  our 
God  bring  all  this  evil  upon  us, 
and  upon  this  city?  yet  ye  bring 
more  wrath  upon  Israel,  by  pro- 
faning the  sabbath. 

Lavi.  i,  7.  Jerusalem  remem- 
bered in  the  days  of  her  affliction, 
and  of  her  miseries,  all  her  pleas- 
ant things  that  she  had  in  the 
days  of  old,  when  her  people  fell 
into  tbe  band  of  tlie  enemy,  and 
none  did  help  her;  the  adversaries 
eaw  her,  and  did  mocJ£  at,  ner 
sabbaths. 

Ezelc.  XX,  21.  Notwithstanding 
the  children  rebelled  against  me : 
they  walked  not  in  my  statutes, 
neither  kept  my  judgments  to  do 
them,  whicli  if  a  man  do,  he  shall 
even  live  in  them;  they  polluted 
my  sabbaths:  then  I  said,  1  would 
pour  out  my  fury  upon  them,  to 
accomplish  my  anger  against  them 
in  the  wilderness. 

JSzeJc.  xxii,  8.  Thou  hast  despised 
mine  holy  things,  and  hast  pro- 
faned my  sabbaths. 

Hzek.  xxiii,  38.  Moreover,  this 
they  have  done  unto  me;  they 
have  defiled  my  sanctuary  in  the 
same  day,  and  have  profaned  my 
sabbaths. 

Amos  viii,  5.  Saying,  When  will 
the  new  moon  be  gone,  that  we 
may  sell  corn?  and  the  sabbath, 
that  we  may  set  forth  wlieat, 
making  the  ephah  small,  and  the 
shekel  great,  and  falsifying  the 
balances  by  deceit. 

PENALTY  AGAINST 
SABBATH  BREAKERS. 

Eomd.  xxxi,  14, 15.  Ye  shall  keep 
the  sabbath  therefore;  for  it  is 
holy  unto  you:  every  one  that  de- 
fileth  it  shall  surely  be  put  to 
death:  for  whosoever  doeth  any 
work  therein,  that  soul  shall  be 
cut  off  from  among  his  people. 
Six  days  may  work  be  done ;  but 
In  the  seventh  is  the  sabbath  of 
rest,  holy  to  the  Lord:  whosoever 
doeth  any  work  in  the  sabbath- 
day,  he  shall  surely  be  put  to 
death. 

Num.  XV,  32-36.  And  while  the 
children  of  Israel  were  in  the 
wilderness,  they  found  a  man  that 
gathered  sticks  upon  the  sabbath- 
day.  And  they  that  found  him 
gathering  sticks  brought  him  unto 
Moses  and  Aaron,  and  unto  all 
the  congregation.  And  they  put 
him  in  ward,  because  It  was  not 
declared  what  should  bo  done  to 
him.  And  the  Lobd  said  unto 
Moses,  The  mou  sliaU  be  surely 


put  to  death:  all  the  congregation 
shall  stone  him  with  stones  with- 
out the  camp.  And  all  the  con- 
gregation brought  him  without 
the  camp,  and  stoned  him  with 
stones,  and  he  died;  as  the  Lobd 
commanded  Moses. 

Jer.  xvii,  27.  But  if  yon  will  not 
hearken  unto  me  to  hallow  the 
sabbath-day,  and  not  to  bear  a 
burden,  even  entering  in  at  the 
gates  of  Jerusalem  on  the  sab- 
bath-day, then  will  I  kindle  a  fire 
in  the  gates  thereof,  and  it  shall 
devour  the  palaces  of  Jerusalem, 
and  it  shall  not  be  quenched. 

Lam.  ii,  6.  And  he  hath  violent- 
ly taken  away  his  tabernacle,  as 
if  it  were  of  a  garden;  he  hath 
destroyed  his  places  of  the  assem- 
bly: the  Lord  hath  caused  the 
solemn  feasts  and  sabbaths  to  be. 
forgotten  in  Zion,.  and  hath  de- 
spised, in  the  indignation  of  his 
anger,  the  king  and  the  priest. 

Hos.  11, 11.  I  will  also  cause  all 
her  mirth  to  cease,  her  feast-days, 
her  new  moons,  and  her  sabbaths, 
and  all  her  solemn  feasts. 

PROMISES  TO  SABBATH 
KEEPERS. 

Isa.  Ivl,  2-7.  Blessed  is  the  man 
that  doeth  this,  and  the  son  of  man 
that  layeth  hold  on  it;  that  keep- 
eth  the  sabbath  from  polluting  it, 
and  keepeth  his  hand  from  doing 
any  evil.  Neither  let  the  son  of 
the  stranger,  that  hath  joined  him- 
self to  the  Lobd,  speak,  saying. 
The  Lord  hath  utterly  separated 
me  from  his  people:  neither  let 
the  eunuch  say,  Behold,  I  am  a  dry 
tree.  For  thus  saith  the  Lobd 
unto  the  eunuchs  that  keep  my 
sabbaths,  and  choose  the  things 
that  please  me,  and  take  hold  of 
my  covenant;  Even  unto  them 
will  I  give  in  mine  house,  and 
within  my  walls,  a  place  and  a 
name  better  than  of  sons  and  of 
daughters:  I  will  give  them  an 
everlasting  name,  that  shall  not  be 
cut  off.  Also  the  sons  of  the 
stranger,  that  join  themselves  to 
the  Lobd,  to  serve  him,  and  to 
love  the  name  of  the  Lobd,  to  be  his 
servants,  every  one  that  keepeth 
the  sabbath  from  polluting  it,  and 
taketh  hold  of  my  covenant;  Even 
them  will  I  bring  to  my  holy 
mountain,  and  make  them  joyful 
in  my  house  of  prayer:  their  burnt 
offerings  and  their  sacrifices  shall 
be  accepted  upon  mine  altar;  for 
mine  house  shall  be  called  an 
house  of  prayer  for  all  people. 

Isa.  Ivill,  13,  14.  If  thou  turn 
away  thy  foot  from  the  sabbath, 
from  doing  thy  pleasure  on  my 
holy  day;  and  call  the  sabbatti  a 
delight,  the  holy  of  the  Lobd, 
honourable;  and  shalt  honour  him, 
not  doing  thine  own  ways,  nor 
finding  thine  own  pleasure,  nor 


speaking  thine  own  words:  Then 
Shalt  thou  delight  thyself  in  the 
Lobd;  and  I  will  cause  thee  to  ride 
upon  the  high  places  of  the  earth, 
and  feed  thee  with  the  heritage  of 
Jacob  thy  father:  for  the  mouth 
of  the  Lobd  hath  spoken  it. 

Jer.  xvii,  24,  25.  And  it  shall 
come  to  pass,  if  ye  diligently 
hearken  unto  me,  saith  the  Lobd, 
to  bring  in  no  burden  through  the 
gates  of  this  city  on  the  sabbath- 
day,  but  hallow  the  sabbath-day, 
to  do  no  work  therein;  Then  shall 
there  enter  into  the  gates  of  this 
city  kings  and  princes  sitting  upon 
the  throne  of  David,  riding  in 
chariots  and  on  horses,  they,  and 
their  princes,  the  men  of  Judah, 
and  the  Inhabitants  of  Jerusalem; 
and  this  city  shall  remain  for  ever. 

SABBATH  KEPT  IN  THE 
LETTER. 

Neh.  X,  31.  And  if  the  people  of 
the  land  bring  ware,  or  any 
victuals,  on  the  sabbath-day  to 
sell,  that  we  would  not  buy  it  of 
them  on  the  sabbath,  or  on  the 
holy-day;  and  that  we  would  leave 
the  seventh  year,  and  the  exaction 
of  every  debt. 

Neh.  xiii,  19-22.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  that  when  the  gates  of  Jeru- 
salem began  to  be  dark  before 
the  sabbath,  I  commanded  that 
the  gates  should  be  shut,  and 
charged  that  they  should  not  be 
opened  till  after  the  sabbath:  and 
some  of  my  servants  set  I  at  the 
gates,  that  there  should  no  burden 
be  brought  in  on  the  sabbath  day. 
So  the  merchants,  and  sellers  of 
all  kind  of  ware,  lodged  without 
Jerusalem  once  or  twice.  Then  I 
testified  against  them,  and  said 
unto  them,  Why  lodge  ye  about 
the  wall?  if  ye  do  so  again,  I  will 
lay  hands  on  you.  From  that  time 
forth  came  theyno  more  on  the  sab- 
bath. And  I  commanded  the  Le- 
vites  that  they  should  cleanse 
themselves,  and  that  they  should 
come  and  keep  the  gates,  to  sanc- 
tify the  sabbath  day.  Remember 
me,  O  my  God,  concerning  this 
also,  and  spare  me  according  to 
the  greatness  of  thy  mercy. 

And  to  be  also  Kept  in  Spirit. 

Isa  1, 13.  Bring  »no  more  vain 
oblations:  incense  ifi  an  abomina- 
tion unto  me;  tho  new-moons  and 
sabbaths  the  calling  of  assemblies, 
I  cannot  away  with:  it  is  Iniquity, 
even  the  solemn  meeting. 

Mark  ii,  27.  And  he  said  unto 
them.  The  sabbath  was  made  for 
man,  and  not  man  for  the  sabbath.

and  shalt  gather  in  the  fruits 
thereof;  But  the  seventh  year 
thou  shalt  let  it  rest  and  lie  still; 
that  the  poor  of  thy  people  may 
eat:  and  what  they  leave  the 
beasts  of  the  field  shall  eat.  In 
like  manner  thou  shalt  deal  with 
thy  vineyard,  and  with  tliy  olive- 
yard. 

Lev.  xxv,  2-7,  20-22.  Speak 
nnto  the  children  of  Israel,  and 
say  unto  them.  When  ye  come 
unto  the  land  which  I  give  you, 
then  shall  the  land  keep  a  sab- 
bath unto  the  Lord.  Six  years 
thou  Shalt  sow  thy  field,  and  six 
years  thou  shalt  prune  thy  vine- 
yard, and  gather  in  the  fruit 
thereof;  But  in  the  seventh  year 
shall  be  a  sabbtth  of  rest  unto 
the  land,  a  sabbuth  for  the  Lord: 
thou  shalt  neither  sow  thy  field, 
nor  prune  thy  vineyard.  That 
which  groweth  of  its  own  accord 
of  thy  harvest  thou  shalt  not 
reap,  neither  gather  the  grapes  of 
thy  vine  undressed:  for  it  is  a 
year  of  rest  unto  the  land.  And 
the  sabbath  of  the  land  shall  be 
meat  for  you;  for  thee,  and  for  thy 
servant,  and  for  thy  maid,  and  for 
thy  hired  servant,  and  for  thy 
stranger  that  sojourneth  with 
thee.  And  for  thy  cattle,  and  for 
the  beast  that  are  in  thy  land, 
Bhall  all  the  increase  thereof  be 
meat.  And  if  ye  shall  say,  What 
shall  we  eat  the  seventh  year? 
behold,  we  shall  not  sow,  nor 
gather  in  our  increase;  Then  I 
will  command  my  blessing  upon 
you  in  the  sixth  year,  and  it  sliall 
bring  forth  fruit  for  three  years. 
And  ye  shall   sow  the  eighth 


year,  and  eat  yet  of  old  fruit  until 
the  ninth  year;  un  il  her  fruits 
come  in  ye  shall  eat  of  the  old 
store. 

Lev.  xxvl.  84,  35, 43.  Then  shall 
the  land  enjoy  her  sabbaths,  as 
long  as  it  lieth  desolate,  and  yebe 
in  your  enemies'  land;  even  then 
shall  the  land  rest,  and  enjoy  her 
sabbaths.  As  long  as  it  lieth 
desolate  it  shall  rest;  because  it 
did  not  rest  in  your  sabbaths, 
when  ye  dwelt  upon  it.  The 
land  also  s'jall  be  left  of  them,  and 
shall  enjoy  her  sabbaths,  while 
she  lieth  desolate  without  them: 
and  they  shall  accept  of  the  pun- 
ishment of  their  iniquity:  because, 
even  because  they  despised  my 
jud-'ments,  and  because  their 
soul  abhorred  my  statutes. 

2  Chron.  xxxvi,  20,  21.  And 
them  that  had  escaped  trom  the 
sword  carried  he  away  to  Baby- 
ion;  where  they  were  servants  to 
him  and  his  sons  until  the  reign 
of  the  kingdom  of  Persia:  To 
fuini  the  word  of  the  Loan  by  the 
mouth  of  Jeremiah,  until  the 
land  had  enjoyed  her  sabbaths: 
for  as  long  as  she  lay  desolate  she 
kept  sabbath,  to  fulfll  thrtjescore 
and  ten  years.

Lev.  XXV,  8-13,  39-41,  54.  And 
thou  Shalt  number  seven  sab- 
baths of  years  unto  thee,  seven 
times  seven  years;  and  the  space 
of  the  seven  sabbaths  of  years 
shall  be  unto  thee  forty  and  nine 
years.  Then  shalt  thou  cause 
the  ti-uropet  of  the  jubilee  to 
sound,  on  the  tenth  day  of  the 
seventh  month;  in  the  day  of 
atonement  shall  ye  make  the 
trumpet  sound  throughout  all 
your  land.  And  ye  shall  hallow 
the  fiftieth  year,  and  proclaim 
liberty  throughout  all  the  land 
unto  all  the  inhabitants  thereof: 
it  shall  be  a  jubilee  unto  you;  and 
ye  shall  return  every  man  unto 
his  possession,  and  ye  shall  re- 
turn every  man  unto  his  family. 
A  jubilee  shall  that  fiftieth  year 
be  unto  you:  ye  shall  not  sow, 
neither  reap  that  which  groweth 
of  itself  in  it,  nor  gather  the 
grapes  in  it  of  thy  vine  undressed. 
For  it  is  the  jubilee;  it  shall  be 
holy  unto  you:  ye  shall  eat  tlie 
increase  thereof  out  of  the  field. 
In  the  year  of  this  jubilee  ye  shall 
return  every  man  unto  his  pos- 
session. And  if  thy  brother  that 
dwelleth  by  thee  be  waxen  poor, 
and  be  sold  unto  thee;  thou  shalt 
not  compel  him  to  serve  as  a  bond- 
servant: But  as  an  hired  servant, 
and  as  a  sojourner,  he  shall  be 
with  thee,  and  shall  serve  thee 
unto  tbe  year  of  jubilee.  And 
then  shall  he  depart  from  thee, 
both  he  and  bis  childrea  with 
631 


him,  and  shall  return  unto  his 
own  family,  and  unto  the  posses- 
sion of  his  fathers  shall  he  return. 
And  if  he  be  not  redeemed  in 
these  years,  then  he  shall  go  out 
in  the  year  of  jubilee,  both  he,  and 
his  children  with  him. 

Lev.  xxvii,  24.  In  the  year  of 
the  jubilee  the  field  shall  return 
unto  him  of  whom  it  was  bought,

sion of  the  land  did  belong.

words  of  the  law.  So  the  Levites 
stilled  all  the  people,  saying.  Hold 
your  peace,  for  the  day  is  holy;

and  in  all  the  works  of  thine 
hands:  therefore tUou  shalt  sure- 
ly rejoice. 

mh.  viii,  14-18.  And  they  found 
written  in  the  law  which  the  Lord 
had  commanded  by  Moses,  that 
the  children  of  Israel  should  dwell 
Iq  booths  in  the  feast  of  the 
seventh  month :  and  that  they 
should  publish  and  proclaim  in  all 
their  cities,  and  in  Jerusalem, 
saying,  Go  lorth  unto  the  mount, 
and  fetch  olive-branches,  and  pine- 
branches,  and  myrtle-branches, 
and  palm-bxanches,  and  branches 
of  thick  trees,  to  make  booths,  as 
it  is  written.  So  the  people  went 
forih,  and  brought  them,  and  made 
themselves  booths,  every  one 
upon  the  roof  of  his  house,  and  in 
their  courts,  and  in  the  courts  ot 
the  house  of  God.  and  in  the  street 


of  the  water-gate,  and  In  the  street 

of  the  gate  of  Ephraira.  And  all 
the  congregation  of  them  that 
were  come  again  out  of  the  cap- 
tivity made  bootlis,  and  sat  under 
the  booths;  for  since  the  days  of 
Jeshua  the  son  ot  Nun  unto  that 
day  had  not  the  children  ot  Israel 
done  so:  and  there  was  very  great 
gladness.  Also  day  by  day,  from 
the  first  day  unto  the  last  day,  he 
read  in  the  book  of  tlie  law  of 
God:  and  they  kept  the  feast  seven 
days;  and  on  the  eighth  day  ivas 
a  solemn  assembly,  according  unto 
the  manner. 

IIos.  xii,  9.  And  I,  that  am  the 
Loud  thy  God  from  the  land  of 
Egypt,  will  yet  make  thee  to 
dwell  in  tabernacles,  as  in  the 
days  of  the  solemn  least. 

Zeeh.  xiv,  16,  18,  19.  And  it 
shall  come  to  pass,  that  every  one 
that  is  left  of  all  the  nations  which 
came  against  Jerusalem  shall  even 
go  up  from  year  to  year  to  wor- 
ship the  King,  the  Loud  of  hosts, 
and  to  keep  the  feast  of  taber- 
nacles. And  if  the  family  of 
Egypt  go  not  up,  and  come  not, 
that  have  no  rain,  there  shall  be 
the  plague  wherewith  the  Lord 
will  smite  the  heathen  that 
come  not  up  to  keep  the  feast  of 
tabernacles.  This  shall  be  the 
punishment  of  Egypt,  and  the 
punishment  of  all  nations  that 
come  not  up  to  keep  the  feast  of 
tabernacles. 

John  vii,  2.  Now  the  Jews' 
feast  of  tabernacles  was  at  hand.

same  time  Solomon  kept  the  feast 
seven  days  andall  Israel  with  him, 
a  very  great  congregation,  from  the 
entering  in  of  Hamath  unto  the 
river  of  Egypt.  And  in  the  eighth 
day  they  made  a  soltmn  assem- 
bly: for  they  kept  the  dedication 
ot  the  altar  seven  days,  and  the 
least  seven  days.  And  on  the 
three  and  twentieth  day  of  the 
seventh  month  he  sent  the  people 
away  into  their  tents,  glad  and 
merry  in  heart  for  the  goodness 
that  the  Lord  had  shewed  unto 
David,  and  to  Solomon,  and  to  Is- 
rael his  people. 

Ezra  vi,  16, 17.  And  the  children 
of  Israel,  the  priests,  and  the 
Levites,  and  the  rest  of  the  chil- 
dren of  the  captivity,  kept  the 
dedication  of  this  house  of  God 
with  joy.  And  offered  at  the 
dedication  of  this  htjuse  of  God

rams,  lour  hundred  lambs;  and  for 
a  sin-offering  tor  all  Israel,  twelve 
he-goats,  according  to  the  number 
of  the  tribes  of  Isiael.

SABSAfH  AlTD  HOLY  DAYS. 


FEAST  OP  PURTSr. 
Esth.  ix,  17-19,  21-24,  26-32.  On 
the  thirteenth  day  of  the  month 
Adar,  and  on  the  fourteenth  day  of 
thesame  rested  they,  and  made  it  a 
day  of  feasting  and  gladness.  But 
the  Jews  that  were  at  Shushan  as- 
sembled together  on  the  thirteenth 
day  thereof,  and  on  the  fourteenth 
thereof;  and  on  the  fifteenth  day 
of  tiie  same  they  rested,  and  made 
it  a  day  of  feasting  and  gladness. 
Therefore  the  Jews  of  the  villages 
that  dwelt  in  the  unwalled  towns, 
made  the  fourteenth  day  of  the 
month  Adar  a  day  of  gladness  and 
feasting,  and  a  good  day,  and  of 
sending  portions  one  to  another. 
To  stablish  this  among  them,  that 
they  should  keep  the  fourteenth 
day  of  the  month  Adar,  and  the 
fifteenth  day  of  the  same,  yearly. 
As  the  days  wherein  the  Jews 
rested  from  their  enemies,  and  the 
month  which  was  turned  unto 
them  from  sorrow  to  joy,  and 
from  mourning  Into  a  good  day; 
that  they  should  make  tliem  days 
of  feasting  and  joy,  and  of  sending 
portions  one  to  another,  and  gifts 
to  the  poor.  And  the  Jews  under- 
took to  do  as  they  had  begun,  and 
as  Mordecai  had  written  unto 
them;  because  Ilaman,  the  son  of 
Hammedatha.  the  Agagite,  the 
enemy  of  all  the  Jews,  had  devised 
against  the  Jews  to  destroy  them, 
and  bad  cast  Pur  Ttiiat  ia,  tUe  lot) 


to  consume  them,  and  to  destroy 
them:  Wherefore  they  called  these 
days  Purim,  after  the  name  of 
Pur:  therefore,  for  all  the  words 
of  this  letter,  and  of  that  which 
they  had  seen  concerning  this 
matter,  and  which  had  come  unto 
them,  The  Jews  ordained,  and 
took  upon  them,  and  upon  their 
seed,  and  upon  all  such  as  joined 
themselves  unto  them,  so  as  it 
should  not  fail,  that  they  would 
keep  these  two  days  according 
to  their  writing,  and  according 
to  their  appointed  time;  every 
year;  And  that  these  days  should 
be  remembered  and  kept  through- 
out every  generation,  every  fa- 
mily, every  province,  and  every 
city;  and  that  tliese  days  of  Purim 
should  not  fail  from  among  the 
Jews,  nor  the  memorial  of  them 
perish  from  their  seed.  Then 
Esther  the  queen,  the  daughter  of 
Abihail,  and  Mordecai  the  Jew, 
wrote  with  all  authority,  to  con- 
firm this  second  letter  of  Purim. 
And  he  sent  the  letters  unto  all 
the  Jews,  to  the  hundred  twenty 
and  seven  provinces  of  the  king- 
dom of  Ahasuerus,  with  words  of 
peace  and  truth,  To  confirm  these 
days  of  Purim  in  their  times  ap- 
pointed, according  as  Mordecai 
the  Jew  and  Esther  the  queen 
had  enjoined  them,  and  as  they 
had  decreed  for  themselves,  and 
for  their  seed,  the  matters  of  tho 
631 


fastings  and  their  cry.  And  the  de- 
cree of  Esther  confirmed  these 
matters  of  Purim;  and  it  waa 
written  in  the  book. 

THESE  FEASTS  NOT  BIND- 
ING ON  CHRISTIANS. 
Rom.  xiv,  5,  6.  One  man  es- 
teemeth  one  day  above  another; 
another  esteemeth  every  day 
alike.  Let  every  man  be  fully 
persuaded  in  his  own  mind.  He 
that  regarded  the  day, regardetb 
it  unto  the  Lord;  and  he  that  re- 
gar-ieth  not  the  day,  to  the  Lord 
he  doth  not  regard  it.  He  that 
eateth,  eateth  to  the  Lord,  for  he 
giveth  God  thanks;  and  he  that 
eateth  not,  to  the  Lord  he  eateth 
not,  and  giveth  God  thanks. 

Gal.\\,Q,  10.  But  now,  after 
that  ye  have  known  God,  or 
rather  are  known  of  God,  how 
turn  ye  again  to  the  weak  and 
beggarly  elements,  whereunto  ye 
desire  again  to  be  in  bondage?  Ye 
observe  days,  and  months,  and 
times,  and  years. 

Ool.  ii,  16, 17.  Let  no  man  there- 
fore judge  you  in  meat,  or  in 
drink,  or  in  respect  of  an  holy 
day,  or  of  the  new  moon,  or  of  the 
sabbath  days:  Wliich  are  a 
shadow  of  tilings  to  come;  but  the 
body  is  of  Christ.

not  within  the  days  appointed, 
and  that  the  Pliilistines  gathered

due  season. 


Num.  xxlx,  39.  These  things  ye 
shall  do  unto  the  Lord  in  your 
set  feasts,  besides  your  vows,  and 
your  free-will-offerings,  for  your 
burnt-offerings,  and  for  your  meat- 
offerings, and  for  your  drink- 
olferings,  and  for  your  peace- 
offerings. 

Dent  xxxiil,  19,-  They  shall  call 
the  people  unto  the  mountain; 
tliere  they  shall  offer  sacrifices  of 
righteousness:  for  they  shall  suck 
of  the  abundance  of  the  seas,  and 
of  treasures  hid  in  the  sand. 

Ps.  iv,  5.  Offer  the  sacrifices  of 
righteousness,  and  put  your  trust 
in  the  Lord. 

Fs.  1,  5.  Gather  my  saints  to- 
gether unto  mc;  those  that  have 
made  a  covenant  with  me  by 
sacrifice. 

Fs.  li,  19,  Then  shalt  thou  be 
pleased  with  the  sacrifices  of 
righteousness,  with  burnt-offer- 
ing, and  whole  burnt  -  offering: 
then  sliall  they  offer  bullocks 
upon  thine  altar. 

Ps.  evil,  22.  And  let  them  sacri- 
fice the  sacrifices  of  thanksgiving, 
and  declare  his  works  with  rejoic- 
ing. 

Fs.  cxviii,  27.  God  is  the  Lord, 
whicli  hath  sliewed  us  light:  bind 
the  sacrifice  with  cords,  ez;e/iunto 
the  horns  of  the  altar. 

Isa.  xliii,  23,  24.  Thou  hast  not 
brought  me  the  small  cattle  of  thy 
burnt-offerings,  neither  hast  thou 
honoured  me  with  thy  sacrifices: 
I  have  not  caused  thee  to  serve 
with  an  offering,  nor  wearied 
thee  with  incense.  Thou  hast 
bought  me  no  sweet  cane  with 
money,  neither  hast  thou  filled 
me  with  the  fat  of  thy  sacrifices; 
but  thou  hast  made  me  to  serve 
with  thy  sins,  thou  hast  wearied 
me  with  thine  iniquities. 

Isa.  Ix,  7.  All  the  flocks  of 
Kedar  shall  be  gathered  together 
unto  thee,  the  rams  of  Nebaiotli 
shall  minister  unto  thee:  they 
shall  come  up  with  acceptance  on 
mine  altar,  and  I  will  glorify  the 
house  of  my  glory. 

Jer.  xvii,  26.  And  they  shall 
come  from  the  cities  of  Judah,  and 
from  the  places  about  Jerusalem, 
and  from  the  land  of  Benjamin, 
and  from  the  plain,  and  from  the 
mountains,  and  from  the  south, 
bringing  burnt  -  offerings,  and 
sacrifices,  and  meat-offerings,  and 
incense,  and  bringing  sacrifices 
of  praise,  unto  the  house  of  the 
Lord, 

Jer.  xxxiil,  10,  11.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  Again  there  shall  be 
heard  in  this  place,  which  ye  say 
Shall  be  desolate  witlioutman  and 
witliout  beast,  even  in  the  cities 
of  .Judah,  and  in  tiie  streets  of 
Jetusaleui,  Wa^ are  desolate,  with- 
ouimuu.  aud  without  iuhabitanc, 


and  without  beast.  The  voice  .  .  . 
of  them  that  shall  bring  the  sacri- 
fice of  praise  into  the  house  of  the 
Lord.  For  I  will  cause  to  return 
the  captivity  of  the  land,  as  at  the 
first,  saith  the  Lord. 

llicah  vi,  6,  7,  Wherewith  shall 
I  come  before  tlie  Lord,  and  bow 
myself  before  the  high  God?  shall 
I  come  before  him  with  burnt- 
offerings,  with  calves  of  a  year 
old?  Will  the  Lord  be  pleased 
with  thousands  of  rams,  or  witfi 
ten  thousands  of  rivers  of  oil? 
shall  I  give  my  first-born /or  my 
transgression,  the  fruit  of  my 
body /or  the  sin  of  my  soul? 

Fs.  li,  17.  The  sacrifices  of  God 
are  a  broken  spirit:  a  broken  and 
a  contrite  heart,  O  God,  thou  wilt 
not  despise. 

Fiom.  xii,  1.  I  beseech  you 
therefore,  brethren,  by  the 
mercies  of  God,  that  ye  present 
your  bodies  a  living  sacrifice, 
holy,  acceptable  unto  God,  which 
is  your  reasonable  service. 

Ileb.  xiii,  10. 15. 16.  We  have  an 
altar,  whereof  they  have  no  right 
to  eat  which  serve  the  tabernacle. 
By  him  therefore  let  us  offir  the 
sacrifice  of  praise  to  God  con- 
tinually, that  is,  the  fruit  of  our 
lips  giving  thanks  to  his  name. 
13ut  to  do  good  and  to  communi- 
cate forget  not;  for  with  such 
sacrifices  God  is  well  pleased. 

But  never  a  Substitute  fob 
Obedience, 

1  Sam.  XV,  22.  And  Samuel  said, 
Hath  the  Lord  as  great  delight  in 
burut-olferings,  and  sacrifices  as 
in  obeying  the  voice  of  the  Lord? 
Behold,  to  obey  is  belter  than 
sacrifice,  and  to  hearken  than  the 
fat  of  rams. 

Fs.  1,  7-14.  Hear,  O  my  people, 
and  I  will  speak;  O  Israel,  and  I 
will  testify  against  thee:  I  am 
God,  even  thy  God.  I  will  not  re- 
prove thee  for  thy  sacrifices,  or 
thy  burnt-offerings,  to  have  been 
continually  belore  me.  I  will 
take  no  bullock  out  of  thy  house, 
nor  he-goats  out  of  thy  folds:  For 
every  beast  of  the  forest  is  mine, 
and  the  cattle  upon  a  thousand 
hills.  I  know  all  the  fowls  of  the 
mountains;  and  the  wild  beasts  of 
the  field  are  mine.  If  I  were 
hungry,  I  would  not  tell  thee:  for 
the  world  is  mine,  and  the  fulness 
thereof.  Will  I  eat  the  fiesh  of 
bulls,  or  drink  the  blood  of  goats? 
Offer  unto  God  thanksgiving;  and 
pay  thy  vows  unto  the  most 
High. 

Fs.  li,  16.  For  thou  desirest  not 
sacrifice;  else  would  I  give  it; 
thou  delightest  not  in  burnt-offer- 
ing. 

Fa.  Wx,  80, 31.  I  wiU  pralBe  the 


name  of  God  with  a  song,  and  will 
magnify  liim  witli  tlianiisgiving. 
TMs  also  sliall  please  the  Loud 
better  tlian  an  ox  or  bullock  tliat 
hatii  tiorns  and  boofs. 

Prov.  xxi,  3.  To  do  justice  and 
judgment  is  more  acceptable  to 
the  LoKD  than  sacrifice. 

Isa.  i,  11,  12.  To  what  purpose 
is  the  multitude  or  your  sacriflces 
unto  me?  saith  the  Lord:  I  am 
full  of  the  burnt-otrerings  of  rams, 
and  the  fat  of  fed  beasts;  and  I 
delight  not  in  the  blood  of 
bullocks,  or  of  lambs,  or  of  he- 
goats.  When  ye  come  to  appear 
before  me,  who  hath  required 
this  at  your  hand,  to  tread  my 
courts? 

Jer.  vii,  21,22,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Israel; 
Put  your  burnt -offerings  unto 
your  sacrifices,  and  eat  flesh.  For 
I  spake  not  unto  your  fathers,  nor 
commanded  tliem  in  the  day  that 
I  brought  them  out  of  the  land  of 
Egypt,  concerning  burut-offerings 
or  sacriflces. 

Hosea  vi,  6.  For  I  desired 
mercy,  and  not  sacrifice;  and  the 
knowledge  of  God  more  than 
burnt-olTerings. 

Mattfi.  xii,  7.  But  if  ye  had 
known  what  this  meaneth,  I  will 
have  mercy,  and  not  sacrifice,  ye 
would  not  have  condemned  the 
guiltless. 

Not  accepted  when  not 
Offered  in  the  Right  Spirit. 

Lev.  xxvi,  31.  And  I  will  make 
your  cities  waste,  and  bring  your 
sanctuaries  unto  desolation,  and  I 
will  not  smell  the  savour  of  your 
sweet  odours. 

Frov.  XV,  8.  The  sacrifice  of  the 
wicked  is  an  abomination  to  the 
Lord:  bnt  the  prayer  of  the  up- 
right fe  his  delight. 

Prow,  xxi,  27.  The  sacrifice  of 
the  wicked  is  abomination:  how 
much  more  when  he  bringeth  it 
with  a  wicked  mind? 

Isa.  Ixvi,  3.  He  that  killeth  an 
ox  is  as  if  he  slew  a  man;  he  that 
eacriflceth  a  lamb,  as  if  he  cut  off 
a  dog's  neck;  he  that  off.;reth  an 
oblation,  as  if  he  offered,  swine's 
blood;  he  tliat  burneth  incense, 
as  if  he  blessed  an  idol.  Yea, 
they  have  cho^on  their  own  ways, 
and  their  ton!  delighteth  in  their 
abominations. 

Hosea  viii,  13.  They  sacrifice 
flesh  for  the  sacriflces  of  mine 
offerings,  and  eat  it;  but  the  Lord 
accepteth  them  not:  now  will  he 
remember  their  iniquity,  and 
Tisit  their  sins;  they  shall  return 
to  Egypt. 

Amos  V,  22.  25.  Though  ye  offer 
me  bui  nt-off.;riugs,  and  your  meat- 
ofleriu^s^  I  will  uot  accept  them: , 


SACRIFICES. 

neither  will  I  regard  the  peace- 
offerings  of  your  fat  beasts. 
Have  ye  offered  unto  me  sacriflces 
and  offerings  in  the  wilderness 
forty  years,  O  house  of  Israel? 

Mai,  1,  7,  8,  12-14.  Ye  offer 
polluted  bread  upon  mine  altar; 
and  ye  say.  Wherein  have  we 
polluted  thee?  In  that  ye  say, 
The  table  of  the  Loan  is  contemp- 
tible. And  if  ye  offer  the  blind 
for  sacriflce,  is  it  not  evil?  and  if 
ye  offer  the  lame  and  sick,  is  it 
not  evil?  offer  it  now  unto  thy 
governor,  will  he  be  pleased  with 
thee,  or  accept  thy  person?  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts.  But  ye  have 
profaned  it,  in  that  ye  say.  The 
table  of  the  Lord  is  polluted;  and 
the  fruit  thereof,  even  his  meat, 
is  contemptible.  Ye  said  also, 
Behold,  what  a  weariness  is  it! 
and  ye  have  snuffed  at  it,  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts:  and  ye  brought 
that  which  was  torn,  and  the  lame, 
and  the  sick;  thus  ye  brought  an 
offering:  should  I  accept  this  of 
your  hand?  saith  the  Lord.  But 
cursed  be  the  deceiver,  which 
hatli  in  his  flock  a  male,  and  vow- 
eth,  and  sacriflceth  unto  the  Lord 
a  corrupt  tlung:  for  I  am  a  great 
King,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  and 
my  name  is  dreadful  among  the 
heathen. 


Amos  Iv,  4,  5.  Come  to  Beth-el, 
and  transgress;  at  Gilgal  multiply 
transgression;  and  bring  your 
sacriflces  every  morning,  and  your 
tithes  after  three  years:  and  offer 
a  sacriflce  of  thanksgiving  with 
leaven,  and  proclaim  and  publish 
the  free-offerings;  for  this  liketh 
you,  O  ye  children  of  Israel,  saith 
the  Lord  God. 

Their  Discontinuawcb  Threat- 
ened AS  A  Great  Calamity. 
Ban.  viii,  11, 12.  Yea,  he  magni- 
fied himself  even  to  the  prince  of 
the  host,  and  by  him  the  daily 
sacrifice  was  taken  away,  and  the 
place  of  his  sanctuary  was  cast 
down.  And  an  host  was  given 
him  against  the  daily  sacrifice  by 
reason  of  transgression,  and  it  cast 
down  the  truth  to  the  ground; 
and  it  practised,  and  prospered. 

Dan.  xi,  31.  And  arms  shall 
stand  on  his  part,  and  they  shall 
pollute  the  sanctuary  of  strength, 
and  shall  take  away  the  daily  sac- 
rifice, and  they  shall  place  the 
abomination  that  maketh  desolate. 
Joel  \,  9, 13.  The  meat  offering 
and  the  drink  offering  is  cut  olf 
from  the  house  of  the  Lord;  the 
priests,  the  Lord's  ministers, 
mourn.  Gird  yourselves,  and  la- 
ment, ye  priests;  howl,  ye  minis- 
ters of  the  altar;  come,  lie  all 
night  in  sackcloth,  ye  ministers  of 
my  God :  for  the  meat  offering 
and  the  drink  oflering  is  with- 
637 


holden  from  the  house  of  your 
God.

DIFFERENT  MATERIALS 
OF  OFFERINGS. 
Quadrupeds. 
Lev.  i,  2, 10.  Speak  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel,  and  say  unto  them, 
If  any  man  of  you  bring  an  offer- 
ing unto  the  Lord,  ye  shall  bring 
your  offering  of  tbe  cattle,  even  of 
the  herd,  and  of  the  flock.    And 
if  his  offering  be  of   the  flocks, 
namely,  of  the  sheep,  or  of  the 
goats,  for  a   burnt-sacrifice;    he 
shall    bring   it  a   male  without 
blemish. 

Lev.  ix,  1-3.  And  it  came  to  pass 
on  the  eighth  day,  that  Moses 
called  Aaron  and  his  sons,  and  the 
elders  of  Israel;  And  lie  said  unto 
Aaron,  Take  thee  a  young  calf  for 
a  sin-offering,  and  a  ram  for  a 
burnt-otlering,  without  blemish, 
and  offer  them  before  the  Lord. 
And  unto  the  ciiildren  of  Israel 
thou  Shalt  speak,  saying.  Take  ye 
a  kid  of  the  goats  tor  a  sin-offer- 
ing; and  a  calf  and  a  lamb,  both  of 
the  first  year,  without  blemish, 
for  a  burnt-(iflfering. 

Lev.  xxii,  19.  Ye  shall  offer  at 
your  own  will  a  male  without 
blemish,  of  the  beeves,  of  the 
sheep,  or  of  the  goats. 

Birds. 
Lev.  i,  14-17.  And  if  the  burnt- 
sacrifice  for  his  offering  to  the 
Lord  be  of  fowls,  then  he  shall 
bring  his  offering  of  turtle-doves, 
or  of  young  pigeons.  And  the 
priest  shall  bring  it  unto  the  altar, 
and  wring  ofl'  his  head,  and  burn 
it  on  the  altar:  and  the  blood 
thereof  shall  be  wrung  out  at  the 
side  of  the  altar.  And  he  shall 
pluck  away  his  crop  with  his  fea- 
thers, and  cast  it  beside  the  altar, 
on  the  east  part,  by  the  place  of 
the  aslies.  And  he  shall  cleave  it 
with  the  wings  tliereof,  but  shall 
not  divide  it  asunder:  and  the 
priest  shall  burn  it  upon  the  altar, 
upon  the  wood  that  is  upon 
the  fire:  it  is  a  burnt-sacrifice,  an 
offering  made  by  fire,  of  a  sweet 
savour  imto  the  Lord. 

THEIR  QUALIFICATIONS. 

Lev.  xxii,  20-27.  But  whosoever 
hath  a  blemish,  that  shall  ye  not 
offer;  for  it  shall  not  be  acceptable 
for  you.  And  whosoever  offereth 
a  sacrifice  of  peace-offerings  unto 
the  Lord,  to  accomplish  his  vow, 
or  a  free-will-offering  in  beeves  or 
sheep,  it  shall  be  perfect  to  be  ac- 
cepted: there  shall  be  no  blemish 
therein.  Blind,  or  broken,  or 
maimed,  or  having  a  wen,  or 
scurvy,  or  scabbed,  ye  shall  not 
offer  these  unto  the  Loiu>,  nor 


make  an  offerin*  by  fire  of  them 
upon  the  altar  uuto  the  Lord. 
Either  a  bullock  or  a  lamb  that 
hath  any  thin<?  superfluous  or 
lacking  in  his  parts,  that  mayest 
thou  offer  for  a  free-will-oflering; 
but  for  a  vow  it  shall  not  be  ac- 
cepted. Ye  shall  not  offer  unto 
the  Lord  that  which  is  bruised,  or 
crushed,  or  broken,  or  cut;  neither 
Bhall  ye  make  any  offering  thereof 
in  your  land.  Neither  trom  a 
stranger's  hand  shall  ye  offer  the 
bread  of  your  God  of  any  of  these; 
because  their  corruption  is  in 
them,  and  blemishes  be  in  thera: 
they  shall  not  be  accepted  for  you. 
And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Moses, 
saying.  When  a  bullock,  or  a 
sheep,  or  a  goat,  is  brought  forth, 
then  it  shall  be  seven  days  under 
the  dam;  and  from  the  eighth  day 
and  thenceforth  it  shall  be  accept- 
ed for  an  offering  made  by  fire 
unto  the  LoKD. 

Lent.  XV,  21,  22.  And  if  there  be 
any  blemish  therein,  as  if  it  be 
lame,  or  blind  orhavesiwy  ill  blem- 
ish, tliou  Shalt  not  sacrifice  it  unto 
the  Lord  thy  God.  Thou  shalt 
eat  it  within  ti-y  gates:  the  un- 
clean and  the  clean  person  shall 
eat  it  alike,  as  the  roebuck,  and 
as  the  hart. 

Deut.  xvil,  1.  Thou  shalt  not 
sacrillce  unto  the  Lord  thy  God 
any  bullock  or  slieep  wherein  is 
blemish,  or  any  evil-tavouredness: 
for  that  is  an  aboiniuation  uuto 
the  Lobd  thy  God. 

MEAT  OFFEEING. 

For  Priests. 
Lev.  vi,  20-23.  This  is  the  offer- 
ing of  Aaron,  and  of  his  sons, 
tv'hlch  they  shall  offer  unto  the 
Lord  in  the  day  when  he  is 
anointed;  the  tenth  part  of  an 
ephah  of  fine  flour  for  a  meat- 
offering perpetual;  half  of  it  in  the 
morning,  and  half  thereof  at  night. 
In  a  pan  it  shall  be  made  with 
oH ;  and  when  it  is  baken,  thou 
Bhalt  bring  it  in  :  and  the  baken 
pieces  of  the  meat-uflering  shalt 
thou  offer /or  a  sweet  savour  unto 
the  Lord.  And  the  priest  of  his 
sons  that  is  an(»inted  in  his  stead. 
Shall  offer  it:  it  is  a  statute  tor 
ever  unto  the  Lord;  it  shall  be 
wholly  burnt:  For  every  meat- 
offering lor  the  priest  shall  be 
Wholly  burnt:  it  shall  not  be  eaten. 

Fob  Peoplk. 

Exod.  xxix,  23.  And  one  loaf  of 
bread,  and  one  cake  of  oiled  bread, 
and  one  wafer  out  of  the  basket  of 
the  unleavened  bread  that  is  be- 
fore the  Lord. 

Lee.  11, 1-9,14-16.  And  when  any 
vill  dtter  a  meat-offering  unto  the 
Lord,  hi.s  offering  shall  be  of  fine

and  pui  frankincense  tbereon.  And

f  he  shall  bring  it  to  Aaron's  sons  the 
priests,  and  he  shall  take  thereout 
his  handful  of  the  flour  thereof,and 
of  the  oil  thereof,wlth  all  the  frank- 
incense thereof;  and  the  priest  shall 
burn  the  memorial  of  it  upon  the 
altar,  to  be  an  offering  made  byfire, 
of  a  sweet  savour  unto  the  Lord. 
And  the  remnant  of  the  meat- 
offering shall  be  Aaron's  and  his 
sons';  it  is  a  thing  most  holy  of 
the  offerings  of  the  Lord,  made  by 
fire.  And  if  thou  bring  an  obla- 
tion of  a  meat-offering  baken  in 
the  oven,  it  shall  be  tinleaven 
cakes  of  fine  flour  mingled  with 
oil,  or  unleavened  wafers  anointed 
with  oil.  And  if  thy  oblation  be 
a  meat-offering  baJcen  in  a  pan,  it 
shall  be  of  fine  flour  unleavened, 
mingled  with  oil.  Thou  shalt  part 
it  in  pieces,  and  pour  oil  thereon: 
it  is  a  meat-offering.  And  if  thy 
oblation  be  a  meat-offering  baken 
in  the  frying-pan,  it  shall  be  made 
of  fine  flour  with  oil.  And  thou 
Shalt  bring  the  meat-offering  that 
is  made  of  these  things  unto  the 
Lord:  and  when  it  is  presented 
unto  the  priest,  he  shall  bring  it 
unto  the  altar.  And  the  priest 
shall  take  from  the  meat-offering 
a  memorial  thereof,  and  shall  burn 
it  upon  the  altar:  it  is  an  offering- 
made  by  fire,  of  a  sweet  savour 
unto  the  Lord.  And  if  thou  offer 
a  meat-offering  of  thy  flrst-fruits 
unto  the  Lord,  thou  shalt  offer, 
for  the  meat-offering  of  thy  first- 
fruits,  green  ears  of  corn  dried  by 
the  fire,  even  corn  beaten  out  of 
full  ears.  And  thou  shalt  put  oil 
upon  it,  and  lay  frankincense 
thereon:  it  2S  a  meat-offering.  And 
the  priest  shall  burn  the  memorial 
of  it,  part  of  the  beaten  corn 
thereof,  and  part  of  the  oil  there- 
of, with  all  the  frankincense  there- 
of: it  is  an  offering  made  by  fire 
uuto  the  Lord. 

Lev.  V,  11, 12.  But  If  he  be  not 
able  to  bring  two  turtle-doves, 
or  two  young  pigeons;  then  he 
that  sinned  shall  bring  for  his  of- 
fering the  tenth  part  of  an  ephah 
of  fine  flour  for  a  sin-offering :  he 
shall  put  no  oil  upon  it,  neither 
shall  he  put  any  frankincense 
thereon;  for  it  is  a  sin-offering. 
Then  shall  he  bring  It  to  the 
priest,  and  the  priest  shall  take 
his  handful  of  it,  even  a  memorial 
thereof,  and  burn  it  on  the  altar, 
according  to  the  offerings  made

This  is  the  law  of  the  sin-offering; 
In  the  place  where  the  burnt-

offering  be  killed  before  the  Lord: 
It  is  most  holy.  The  priest  that

In  the  court  of  the  tabernacle  of  the

which  he  hath  sinned,  a  female

the  priest  shall  make  an  atone- 
ment for  him  concerning  his  sin. 
And  if  he  be  not  able  to  bring  a 
lamb,  then  he  shall  bring,  for  his 
trespass  which  he  hath  commit- 
ted, two  turtle-doves,  or  two

one  for  a  sin-offering,  and  the 
other  for  a  burnt-offering.  And 
he  shall  bring  them  unto  the

wring  off  liis  head  from  his  neck, 
but  shall  not  divide  it  asunder. 
And  he  shall  sprinkle  of  the  blood 
of  the  sin-off.  ring  upon  the  side 
of  the  altar;  and  the  rest  of  the 
blood  shall  be  wrung  out  at  the 
bottom  of  the  altar:  it  is  a  sin-

flour  for  a  sin  offering:  he  shall 
put  no  oil  upon  it,  neither  shall 
he  put  any  frankincense  thereon; 
for  it  is  a  sin  offering.  Then  shall 
he  bring  it  to  the  priest,  and  the 
priest  shall  take  his  handful  ol

the  Lord:  it  is  a  sin  offering.  If  a 
soul  commit  a  trespass,  and  sin 
through  ignorance,  in  the  holy 
things  of  the  Lord;  then  Ite  shall 
bring  for  his  trespass  unto  the 
Lord  a  ram  without  blemish  out 
of  the  floclis,  with  thy  estimation 
by  shekels  of  silver,  after  the 
shekel  of  the  sanctuary,  for  a 
trespass-offering.  And  he  shall 
make  amends  for  the  harm  that 
he  hath  done  in  the  holy  thing, 
and  shall  add  the  fifih  part  there- 
to, and  give  it  unto  the  priest; 
and  the  priest  shall  make  an 
atonement  for  him  with  the  ram 
of  the  trespass  offering,  and  it 
shall  be  forgiven  him.  And  if  a 
soul  sin,  and  commit  any  of  these 
things  whicli  are  forbidden  to  be 
done  by  the  commandments  of 
the  Lord;  though  he  wist  it  not, 
yet  is  he  guilty,  and  shall  bear 
his  iniquity.  And  he  shall  bring 
a  ram  without  blemish  out  of  the 
flock,  with  thy  estimation,  for  a 
trespass-offering,  unto  the  priest: 
and  the  priest  shall  make  an 
atonement  for  him  concerning  his 
ignorance  wherein  he  erred,  and 
wist  it  not;  and  it  shall  be  for- 
given him.  It  is  a  trespass-offer- 
ing: he  hath  certainly  trespassed 
against  the  Lord. 

Lev.  vi,  1-7.  And  the  Lord 
spake  unto  Moses,  saying.  If  a 
soul  sin,  and  commit  a  trespass 
against  the  Lord,  and  lie  unto  his 
neighbour  in  that  which  was  de- 
livered him  to  keep,  or  in  fellow- 
ship, or  in  a  thing  taken  away  by 
violence,  or  hath  deceived  his 
neighbour,  Or  have  found  that 
which  was  lost,  and  lieth  concern- 
ing it,  and  sweareth  falsely;  in

g^nty.  that  he  shall  restore  that 
which  he  took  violently  away,  or 
the  thing  which  he  hath  deceit- 
fully gotten,  or  that  which  was 
delivered  him  to  keep,  or  the 
lost  thing  which  he  found.  Or  all 
that  about  which  he  hath  sworn 
falsely;  he  shall  even  restore  it  in 
the  principal,  and  shall  add  the 
fifth  part  more  thereto,  and  give 
it  unto  him  to  whom  it  apper- 
taineth,  iu  the  day  of  his  trespass 
offering.  And  he  shall  bring  his 
trespass-offering  unto  the  Lord, 
a  ram  without  blemish  out  of  the 
flock,  with  thy  estimation,  for  a 
trespass-offering,  unto  the  priest: 
And  the  priest  shall  make  an 
atonement  for  him  before  the 
Lord:  and  it  shall  be  forgiven  him, 
for  any  thing  of  all  that  he  hath 
done,  in  trespassing  therein. 

Lev.  vii,  1-6.  Likewise  this  is 
the  law  of  the  trespass-offering; 
it  is  most  holy.  In  the  place 
where  they  kill  the  burnt-offering 
shall  they  kill  the  trespass-offer- 
ing: and  the  blood  thereof  shall  he 
sprinkle  round  about  upon  the  al- 
tar. And  he  shall  offer  of  it  all  the 
fat  thereof;  the  rump,  and  the  fat 
that  covereth  the  inwards.  And 
the  two  kidneys,. and  the  fat  that 
is  on  them,  which  is  by  the  flanks, 
and  the  caul  that  is  above  the 
liver,  with  the  kidneys,  it  shall  he 
take  away:  And  the  priest  shall 
burn  them  upon  the  altar  for  an 
offering  made  by  fire  unto  the 
Lord:  it  fs  a  trespass-offering. 
Every  male  among  the  priests 
shall  eat  thereof:  it  shall  be  eaten 
in  the  holy  place:  it  is  most  holy.

with  his  head  and  his  fat;  and  the 
priest  shall  lay  them  in  order  on 
the  wood  that  is  on  the  fire  which 
is  upon  the  altar.  But  he  shall 
wash  the  inwards  and  the  legs 
with  water,  and  the  priest  shall 
bring  it  all,  and  burn  it  upon  the

that  is  upon  them,  which  is  by  the

take  away.  As  it  was  taken  off

offereth  the  sacrifice  of  his  peace- 
ofleriugs  unto  the  Loud,  shall 
bring  his  oblation  unto  the  Lobd 
of  the  sacrifice  of  his  peace-offer- 
ings. His  own  hands  shall  bring 
the  offerings  of  the  Lord  made 
by  fire;  the  fat,  with  the  breast, 
it  shall  he  bring,  that  the  breast 
may  be  waved  for  a  wave-offering 
before  the  Lord

cause they  are  holy. 

Lev.  It,  3, 10.  And  the  remnant 
0|  the  meat  -  offering  stiall   be 


SACRIFICES. 

Aaron's  and  his  sons:  it  is  a  thing 
most  holy  of  the  offerings  of  the 
Lord  made  by  fire.  And  that 
which  is  left  of  the  meat-offering 
shall  be  Aaron's  and  his  sons':  it  is 
a  tijing  most  holy  of  the  offerings 
of  the  Lord  made  by  fire. 

Lev.  Ml,  18,  29.  All  the  males 
among  the  childrea  of  Aaron 
shall  eat  of  it.  It  Shall  be  a 
statute  for  ever  in  your  genera- 
tions concerning  the  ofi"ering8  of 
the  Lord  made  by  fire:  every  one 
that  toucheth  them  shall  be  holy. 
All  the  males  among  the  priests 
shall  eat  thereof:  it  is  most  holy. 

Lev.  vii,  6.  Every  male  among 
the  priests  shall  eat  thereof:  it 
shall  be  eaten  in  the  holy  place: 
it  is  most  holy 

Lev.  xxii,  10-16.  There  shall 
no  stranger  eat  of  the  holy 
thing  :  a  sojourner  of  the  priest, 
or  .an  hired  servant,  shall  not 
eat  of  the  holy  thing.  But  if 
the  priest  buy  any  soul  with  his 
money,  he  shall  eat  of  it,  and  he 
that  is  born  in  his  house:  they 
shall  eat  of  his  meat.  It  the 
priest's  daughter  also  be  married 
unto  a  stranger,  she  may  not  eat 
of  an  offering  of  the  holy  things. 
But  if  the  priest's  daughter  be  a 
widow,  or  divorced,  and  have  no 
child,  and  Is  returned  unto  her  fa- 
ther's house,  as  in  her  youth,  she 
shall  eat  of  her  father's  meat;  but 
there  shall  no  stranger  eat  thereof. 
Ami  if  a  man  eat  of  the  holy  thing 
unwittingly,  then  he  shall  put  the 
fifth  part  thereof  unto  it,  and 
shall  give  it  unto  the  priest  with 
the  holy  thing.  And  they  shall 
not  profane  the  holy  things  of  the 
children  of  Israel,  which  they 
offer  unto  the  Lord;  Or  suffer 
them  to  bear  the  iniquity  of 
trespass  when  they  eat  their 
holy  tilings:  for  1  the  Lobd  do 
sanctify  them. 

1  Sam.  ix,  12, 13.  And  they  an- 
swered them,  and  said.  He  is; 
behold,  he  is  before  you:  make 
haste  now,  for  he  came  to-day  to 
the  city;  for  there  is  a  sacrifice  of 
the  people  to-day  in  the  high 
place.  As  soon  as  ye  be  come 
into  the  city,  ye  shall  straightway 
find  him,  before  he  go  up  to  the 
high  place  to  eat:  for  the  people 
will  not  eat  until  he  come,  he- 
cause  he  doth  bless  the  sacrifice; 
atid  alterwards  they  eat  that  be 
bidden.  Now  therefore  get  you 
up;  for  about  this  time  ye  shall 
find  him 

1  Cor.  X,  18.  Behold  Israel  after 
the  flesh.  Are  not  they  which 
eat  of  the  sacrifices  partakers  ot 
the  altar? 

When  and  Where  to  be  Eaten. 

Lev.  vl,  16,  26.    And    the    re- 
mainder thereof  shall  Aaron  and 
646 


hia  sons  eat:  with  unleavened 
bread  shall  it  be  eaten  in  the 
holy  place;  in  the  court  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  cim^rregation 
they  shall  eat  it.  The  priest  that 
offereth  it  for  sin  shall  eat  it :  in 
the  holy  place  shall  it  be  eaten,  in 
the  court  of  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation. 

Lev.\n,  15, 16. 18.  And  the  flesh  of 
the  sacrilice  of  his  peace-oll'erings 
for  thanksgiving  shall  be  eaten 
the  same  day  that  it  is  offered;  he 
shall  not  leave  any  of  it  until  the 
morning.  But  if  the  sacrifice  ot 
his  offning  be  a  vow,  or  a  volun- 
tary offering,  it  shall  be  eaten  the 
same  day  that  he  offereth  his 
sacrifice;  and  on  the  morrow  also 
the  remainder  of  it  shall  be 
eaten.  And  if  any  of  the  flash 
of  the  sacrifice  of  his  peace- 
off'erings  be  eaten  at  all  on  the 
third  day,  it  shall  not  be  accepted, 
neither  shall  it  be  imputed  uuto 
him  that  offereth  it:  it  shall  be  an 
abomination,  and  the  soul  that 
eateth  ot  it  shall  bear  his  ini- 
quity. 

Lev.  six,  5-8.  And  If  ye  offer  a 
sacrifice  of  peace-offerings  unto 
the  Lord,  ye  shall  offer  it  at 
your  own  will.  It  shall  be  eaten 
the  same  day  ye  offer  it,  and  on 
the  morrow:  and  if  ought  remain 
until  the  third  day,  it  shall  be 
burnt  in  the  tire.  And  if  it  be  eaten 
at  all  on  the  third  day,  it  is  abo- 
minable; it  shall  not  be  accepted. 
Therefore  every  one  that  eateth 
it  shall  bear  his  iniquity,  because 
he  hath  profaned  the  hallowed 
thing  of  the  Lord;  and  that  soul 
shall  be  cut  off  from  among  his 
people 

Lev.  xxii,  29,  30.  And  when  ye 
will  ofler  a  sacrifice  of  thanks- 
giving unto  the  Lord,  offer  it  at 
your  own  will.  On  tiie  same  day 
it  shall  be  eaten  up;  ye  shall 
leave  none  of  it  until  the  morrow 
I  am  the  Lord. 

Lev.  xxiv,  9.  And  It  shall  be 
Aaron's  and  his  soUvS';  and  they 
shall  eat  it  in  the  holy  place:  for 
it  is  most  holy  unto  him  of  the 
offerings  of  the  Lord  made  by 
fire  by  a  perpetual  statute.

Lev.  V,  13.  And  the  priest 
Bhall  make  an  atonement  for  him,

Lev.  XV,  14,  15.  And  on  the 
eiglith  day  he  sliall  take  to  him 
two  turtle-doves,  or  two  young

for  a  sin-offering,  and  the  other 
for  a  burnt  -  offering ;  and  the 
priest  shall  make  an  atonement

shall  make  an  atonemeni,  tor  all

shall  be  forgiven  all  the  congrega-

the  strp.nger  that  sojourneth

Deut  xii,  7,  12.  And  there  ye 
shall  eat  before  the  Loed  your 
God;  and  ye  shall  rejoice  in  all 
that  ye  put  your  hand  unto,  ye 
and  your  households,  wherein  the 
Lord  thy  God  hath  blessed  thee. 
And  ye  shall  rejoice  before  the 
Lord  your  God,  ye,  and  your  sons, 
and  your  daughters,  and  your 
men-servants,  and  your  maid-ser- 
vants, and  the  Levite  that  is  with- 
in your  gates;  forasmuch  as  he 
hath  no  part  nor  inheritance  with 
you. 

Neh.  xii,  43.  Also  that  day  they 
offered  great  sacrifices,  and  re- 
joiced: for  God  had  made  them 
rejoice  with  great  joy:  the  wives 
also  and  the  children  rejcjiced;  so 
that  the  joy  of  Jerusalem  was 
heard  even  afar  ofT.

Heb.  ix,  9,  10.  Which  roas  a 
figure  for  the  time  then  present, 
in  which  were  offered  both  gifts 
and  sacrifices,  that  could  not  make 
him  that  did  the  service  perfect, 
as  pertaining  to  the  conscience; 
Which  stood  only  in  meats  and 
drinks,  and  divers  washings,  and 
Ctrnal  ordinances,  imposed  on 
them  until  the  time  of  reforma- 
tion. 

Heb.  X,  1-4, 11.  For  the  law  hav- 
ing a  shadow  of  good  things  to 
come,  and  not  the  very  in;age  of 
the  things,  can  never  witli  those 
sacrifices  which  they  offered  year, 
by  year,  continually  make  the 
comers  thereunto  perfect.  For 
then  would  they  not  have  ceased 
to  be  offered?  because  that  the 
worshippers  once  purged  should 
have  had  no  more  conscience  of 
sins.  But  in  tliose  sacrifices  there 
is  a  remembrance  again  made  of 
sins  every  year.  For  it  is  not 
possible  that  the  blood  of  bulls 
and  of  goats  should  take  away 
sins.  And  every  priest  standeth  ' 
daily  ministering  nnd  ofiv^ring 
ottentiiiies  the  s.-ime  sacrifices 
wliich  can  never  take  awaj  gins. 


SCRIPTURE. 


DIVINE  REVELATION. 

2  Kings  xxi,  lO.  And  the  Lord 
spake  by  his  servanta  the  pro- 
phets, saying. 

Ps.  cxix,  105.  Thy  word  is  a 
'lamp  unto  my  feet,  and  a  light 
luuto  my  path. 

Ps.  cxxxviii,  2.  I  will  worship 
toward  thy  hoiy  temple,  and 
praise  thy  name  for  thy  loviiig- 
kiudness  and  for  thy  truth:  for 
thou  hast  magnified  thy  word 
above  all  thy  name. 

Prov.  vi,  23.  For  the  command- 
•ment  is  a  lamp ;  and  the  law  is 
light;  and  reproofs  of  instruction 
are  the  way  of  life. 

Prov.  xxii,  20.  Have  not  I  writ- 
ten to  thee  excellent  things  in 
counsels  and  knowledge? 

John  xvl,  12.  I  have  yet  many 
things  to  say  unto  you,  but  ye  cau- 
not  bear  them  now. 
.  1  Cor.  xiv,  36,  37.  What!  came 
jthe  word  of  God  out  from  you?  or 
came  it  unto  you  only  ?  If  any 
-man  think  himself  to  be  a  prophet, 
or  spiritual,  let  him  acknowledge 
that  the  tilings  that  I  write  unto 
you  are  the  commandments  of  the 
Lord. 

1  Thess.  il,  13.  For  this  cause 
also  thank  we  God  without  ceas- 
ing, because,  when  ye  received 
the  word  of  God  which  ye  heard 
of  us,  ye  received  it  not  as  the 
word  of  men,  but  (as  it  is  in  truth) 
the  word  of  God,  which  effec- 
tually worketh  also  in  you  that 
believe. 

2  Tlm.iW,  16.  All  scripture  is 
given  by  inspiration  of  God,  and 
is  profitable  for  doctrine,  for  re- 
proof, for  correction,  for  instruc- 
tion in  righteousness. 

2  Pet.  i,  19-21.  We  have  also  a 
more  sure  word  of  prophecy; 
■whereuuto  ye  do  well  that  ye  take 
iheed,  as  unto  a  light  that  shineth 
in  a  dark  place,  until  the  day 
dawn,  and  the  day-star  arise  in 
your  hearts:  Knowing  this  first, 
that  no  prophecy  of  the  scripture 
is  of  any  private  interpretation. 
For  the  prophecy  came  not  in  old 
time  by  the  will  of  man ;  but  holy 
men  of  God  spake  as  they  were 
moved  by  the  lloly  Ghost.

160.  Therefure  I  esteem  all  thy 
precepts  concerning  all  things  to 


1)6  right;  and  I  hato  every  false 
way.  Thy  testimonies  that  thou 
hast  commanded  are  righteous 
and  very  faithful.  Thy  word  is 
very  pure:  therefore  thy  servant 
loveth  it.  Thy  righteousness  is 
an  everlasting  righteousness,  and 
thy  law  is  the  truth.  Thou  art 
near,  O  Lord;  and  all  thy  com-

is  true  from  the  beginning:  and 
every  one  of  thy  righteous  judg- 
ments endureth  for  ever.

have  taken  in  hand  to  set  forth 
in  order  a  declaration  of  those 
things  which  are  most  surely  be- 
lieved among  us.  Even  as  they 
delivered  them  unto  us,  which 
from  the  beginning  were  eye- 
witnesses, and  ministers  of  the 
word;  It  seemed  good  to  me  also, 
having  had  perfect  understanding 
of  all  things  from  the  very  first,  to 
write  unto  thee  in  order,  most 
excellent  Theophilus,  That  thou 
mightest  know  the  certainty  of 
those  things  wherein  thou  hast 
been  instructed.

must  be  fulfilled  which  were 
written  in  the  law  of  Moses,  and 
in  the  Prophets,  and  in  the 
Psalms,  concerning  me.

through  thy  truth:  thy  word  is 
truth.

this  thing  ye  shall  prolong  your 
days  in  the  land  whether  ye  go 
over  Jordan  to  possess  it.

testimonies  is  everlasting:  give 
me  understanding,  and  I  shall 
live.  Concerning  thy  testimonies, 
I  have  known  of  old  that  thou  hast 
founded  them  for  ever.

Cometh  down,  and  the  snow  from

but  watereth  the  earth,  and  mak- 
eth  it  bring  forth  and  bud,  that  it 
may  give  seed  to  the  sower,  and 
bread  to  the  eater:  So  shall  my 
word  be  that  goeth  forth  out  of  my 
moufh:  it  shall  not  return  unto 
me  void,  but  it  shall  accomplish 
that  which  I  please,  and  it  shall 
pro,«per  in  the  thing  whereto  I 
sent  it 

Jer.  xxiii,  29.  Is  not  my  word 
like  as  a  fire?  saith  the  Lord;  and 
like  a  hammer  that  breaketh  the 
rock  in  pieces? 

Matth.  V,  17, 18.  Think  not  that 
I  am  come  to  destroy  the  law  or 
the  prophets:  I  am  not  come  to 
destroy,  but  to  fulfil.  For  verily 
I  say  unto  you.  Till  heaven  and 
earth  pass,  one  jot  or  one  tittle 
shall  in  no  wise  pass  from  the 
law,  till  all  be  fulfilled. 

Jlark  iv,  14,  20.  The  sower 
soweth  the  word.  And  these  are 
tliey  which  are  sown  on  good 
ground;  such  as  hear  the  word, 
and  receive  it,  and  bring  forth 
fruit,  some  thirtyfold,  some  sixty, 
and  some  an  hundred. 

Luke  xvi,  16,  17.  The  law  and 
the  prophets  v:ere  until  John: 
since  that  time  the  kingdom  of 
God  is  preached,  and  every  man 
presseth  into  it.  And  it  is  easier 
for  heaven  and  earth  to  pass,  than 
one  tittle  of  the  law  to  fail.

earth  shall  pass  away,  but  my 
words  shall  not  pass  away.

lieved Moses,  ye  would  have 
believed  me:  for  he  wrote  of  me. 
But  if  ye  believe  not  his  writings, 
liow  shall  ye  believe  my  words?

through  the  word  which  I  have 
spoken  unto  you. 

John  XX,  31.  But  these  are

by  hearing,  and  hearing  by  the 
word  of  God.

epistle  hath  made  you  sorry, 
though  it  were  but  for  a  season.

Let  such  an  one  think  this,  that 
Buoh  as  we  are  in  word  by  letters 
when  we  are  absent,  such  will 
we  be  also  in  deed  when  we  are 
present.

a  child  thou  hast  known  the  holy 
scriptures,  which  are  able  to 
make  thee  wise  unto  salvation 
through  faitli  which  is  in  Christ 
Jesus.  All  Scripture  is  given  by 
inspiration  of  God.  and  is  profit- 
able for  doctrine,  for  reproof,  for 
correction,  for  instruccion  in 
righteousness:  That  the  man  of 
God  may  be  perfect,  tlioroughly 
furnished  unto  all  good  works. 

Jleb.  Iv,  12.  For  the  word  of 
God  is  quick,  and  powerful,  and 
sharper  than  any  two  -  edged 
sword,  piercing  even  to  the  divid- 
ing asunder  of  soul  and  spirit, 
and  of  the  joints  and  marrow,  and 
is  a  disceruer  of  the  thoughts  and 
intents  of  the  heart.

apart  all  fllthiness,  and  super-

souls.

keeping  of  them  there  is  great  re- 
ward. 

Ps.  cxix,  9,  98-100,  104,  130. 
Wherewithal  shall  a  young  man 
cleanse  his  way?  By  taking  heed 
thereto  according  to  thy  word. 
Thou,  through  thy  command- 
ments, hast  made  me  wiser  than 
mine  enemies :  for  they  are  ever 
with  me.  I  have  more  under- 
standing than  all  my  teachers:  for 
thy  testimonies  are  my  medita- 
tion. I  understand  more  than  the 
ancients,  because  I  keep  thy  pre- 
cepts. Through  thy  precepts  I 
get  understauiiing:  therefore  I 
hate  every  false  way.  The  en- 
trance of  thy  words  giveth  light ; 
it  giveth  uaderstaudiug  unto  the 
simple. 

Prov.  i,  2-4.  To  know  wisdom 
and  instruction  ;  to  perceive  the 
words  of  understanding;  To  re- 
ceive the  instruction  of  wisdom, 
justice,  and  judgment,  and  equity; 
To  give  subtilty  to  the  simple,  to 
the  young  man  knowledge  and 
discretion.

must  be  upon  precept,  precept 
upon  i)recept, ;  line  upon  line, 
line  upon  line;  here  a  little,  and 
there  a  little :  but  the  word  of 
the  Lord  was  unto  them  precept 
upon  ijrecept,  precept  upon  pre- 
cept; line  upon  line,  line  upon 
line;  here  a  little,  and  there  a 
little;  that  they  might  go,  and  fall 
backward,  and  be  broken,  and 
sn ued,  and  taken. 

Luke  xxiv,  45.  Then  opened  he 
their  understanding,  that  they 
might  understand  the  scriptures. 

2  Pet.  iii,  16,  17.  As  also  in  all  his 
epistles,  speaking  in  them  of  tliese 
things;  in  which  are  some  things 
hard  to  be  understood,  which  they 
that  are  unlearned  and  unstable 
wrest,  as  they  do  also  the  other 
scriptures,  unto  their  own  de- 
struction. Ye  therefore,  beloved, 
seeing  ye  know  these  things  be- 
fore, beware  lest  ye  also,  being  led 
away  with  the  error  of  the  wick- 
ed, tall  from  your  own  stedfast- 
ness.

eyes.

111,  143,  147,  162  I  have  rejoiced 
in  the  way  of  thy  testimonies,  as 
much  as  in  all  riches.  1  will  de- 
light myself  In  thy  statutes:  I  will 
not  firget  tliy  word.  Thy  testi- 
monies also  are  my  delighi,  and 
my  counsellors.  This  is  my  com- 
fort in  my  afll  ction:  lor  thy  word 
650 


hath  quicTKened  me.  My  soul 
fainteth  tor  thy  salvation;  but  I 
hope  in  thy  word.  Unless  thy 
law  had  been  my  delights,  I  should 
then  have  perished  in  mine  afflic- 
tion. I  will  never  forget  thy  pre- 
cepts: for  with  them  thou  hast 
quickened  me.  Thy  testimonies 
have  I  taken  as  an  heritage  for 
ever:  for  they  are  the  rejoicing 
of  my  heart.  Trouble  and  anguish 
have  taken  hold  on  me:  pet  tliy 
commandments  are  my  delights. 
I  prevented  the  dawning  of  the 
morning,  and  cried:  I  hoped  in 
thy  word.  I  rejoice  at  thy  word, 
as  one  that  flndeth  great  spoil. 

Prov.  x.\ii,  19, 21.  That  thy  trust 
may  be  in  the  Lord,  I  have  made 
known  to  thee  this  day,  even  to 
thee.  That  I  might  make  thee 
know  the  certainty  of  the  words  of 
truth;  that  thou  mightest  answer, 
the  words  of  truth  to  them  that 
send  unto  thee? 

Jer.  XV,  16.  And  thy  word  was 
unto  me  the  joy  and  rejoicing  of 
mine  heart,  for  I  am  called  by  thy 
name,  O  Loau  God  of  hosts.

tioch:  and  when  they  had  gather- 
ed the  multitude  together,  they 
delivered  the  epistle;  Which  when 
they  had  read,  they  rejoiced  for 
the  cons>)lation. 

Pom.  XV,  4.  For  whatsoever 
things  were  written  aforetime 
were  written  for  our  learning ; 
tliat  we  through  patience  and 
ci  mfort  of  the  Scriptures  might 
have  hope. 

1  John  l,  4.  And  these  things

SCRIPTURE  ABOVE  TRADI- 
TIONS. 

3Mt.  XV,  1-3.  Then  came  to  Je- 
sus scribes  and  Pharisees,  which 
were  of  Jerusalem,  saying.  Why 
do  thy  disciples  transgnss  the 
tradition  of  the  elders?  for  they 
wash  not  their  hands  when  they 
eat  bread.  But  he  answered  and 
said  unto  them.  Why  do  ye  also 
transgress  the  commandment  of 
God  by  your  tradition? 

Mark  vii,  1-5,  7--9,  13.  Then 
came  together  unto  him  the  Pha- 
risees, and  certain  of  the  scribes, 
which  came  from  Jerusalem.  And 
when  they  saw  some  of  his  dis- 
ciples eat  bread  with  defiled  (that 
is  to  say,  with  uuwaslien)  hands, 
they  found  fault.  (For  the  Phari- 
sees, and  all  the  Jews,  except  they 
wash  their  hands  oft,  eat  not, 
holding  the  tradition  ol  the  elders. 
And  when  they  come  from  the 
market,  except  they  wash,  they 
eat  not.  And  many  other  things 
Shero  be  which  they  have  received 
to  liold,  as  (he  wasiiing  of  cups, 
and  pols,  Itrazen  vessels,  and  of 


tablps.)  Then  the  riiarlspps  nnd

in  vain  do  tiiey  worsliip  me,  teacii-

the  commandment  of  God,  ye  hold 
the  tradition  of  men,  as  the  wash- 
ing: ot  pots  and  enps:  and  many 
other  such  like  thiiig^s  ye  do.  And 
he  said  unto  them,  Full  well  ye 
rejt'Ct  the  commandment  of  God, 
that  ye  may  keep  your  own  tradi- 
tion. Making  the  word  of  God 
of  none  effect  tlirough  your  tradi- 
tion, which  ye  have  delivered ; 
and  many  such  like  things  do  ye. 
Gal.  i,  14.  And  profited  in  the 
Jews'  religion  above  many  niy 
equals  in  mine  own  nation,  being 
more  exceedingly  zealous  ol  tlie 
traditions  of  my  fathers 

2  Thess.  11, 15.  Therefore,  breth-

tions which  ye  have  been  taught, 
Whether  by  word,  or  om-  epistle. 

PRIVILEGE  OF  POSSESSING 
SCRIPTURE. 

Deut.  iv,  6,  8.  Keep  therefore, 
and  do  them;  for  tliis  is  your  wis- 
dom and  your  understanding-  in 
the  sight  of  the  nations,  which 
shall  hear  all  these  statutes,  and 
say.  Surely  tliis  great  nation  is 
a  wise  and  understanding  people. 
And  what  nation  is  there  so  great, 
that  hath  statutes  and  judgments 
so  righteous  as  all  this  law,  which 
I  set  before  you  this  day? 

Deut.  XXX,  11-14.  For  this  com- 
mandment, which  I  conmiand 
thee  tins  day,  it  is  not  hidden 
from  thee,  neither  is  it  far  off.  It 
is  not  in  lieaven,  that  tiiou  should- 
est  say,  Who  shall  go  up  for  us  to 
heaven,  and  bring  it  unto  us,  iliat 
we  may  hear  it.  and  do  it?  Neither 
is  it  beyond  the  sea,  that  thou 
Bhouldest  say.  Who  shall  go  over 
the  sea  for  us,  and  bring  it  unto 
us,  that  we  may  hear  it,  and  do  it? 
But  the  word  is  very  nigh  unto 
thee,  In  thy  mouth,  and  in  thy 
heart,  that  thou  mayest  do  it. 

2  Uhr.  XV,  3.  Now  for  a  long 
season  Israel  hath  been  without 
the  true  God,  and  without  a  teacli- 
ing  priest,  and  without  law. 

Ps,  cxlvii,  19,  20.  He  sheweth 
his  word  unto  Jacob,  his  statutes 
and  his  judgments  unto  Israel. 
He  hath  not  dealt  so  with  any 
nation:  and  as /or  A/s  judgments, 
they  have  not  known  them.  Praise 
ye  the  Lord.

E-:ek.  vil,  26.  Mischief  shall

shall  be  upon  rumour;  then  shall 
tliey  seek  a  vision  of  the  prophet; 
but  the  law  shall  perish  from  th<

Amos  viil,  n-13.  Behold,  the 
days  come,  saith  the  Lord  God. 
that  I  will  send  a  famine  in  the 
land,  not  a  famine  of  bread,  nor  a 
thirst  for  water,  hut  of  hearing 
the  words  of  the  Lord:  And  thej 
shall  wander  from  sea  to  sea,  anc 
from  the  north  even  to  the  east 
they  shall  run  to  and  fro  to  seel^ 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  and  shal. 
not  find  it.  In  that  day  shall  thi

Eom.  ill,  1,  2.  What  advantage 
then  liath  tlie  Jew?  or  what  pro-

every  way:  chiefly,  because  thai 
unto  them  were  committed  the 
oracles  of  God.

MODE  OF  RECORD. 
Principally  by  Writing.

them  upon  tlie  posts  of  thy  house, 
and  on  thy  gates. 

Deut  xi,  20.  And  thou  shalt 
write  them  upon  the  door-posts 
of  tiiine  house,  and  upon  thy

Deut.  xxvil,  2, 3, 8.  And  It  shall 
be,  on  the  day  when  ye  shall  pass 
over  Jordan  unto  the  land  whicli 
the  Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee 
that  thou  Shalt  set  thee  up  great 
stones,  and  plaster  them  with 
plaster:  And  thou  shalt  write 
upon  them  all  the  words  of  this 
law,  when  thou  art  passed  over; 
that  thou  mayest  go  in  unto'  the 
land  which  the  Lord  thy  God 
giveth  thee,  a  land  that  floweth 
with  milk  and  honey;  as  the  Lord 
God  of  thy  fathers  hath  promised 
tliee.  And  thou  shalt  write  upon 
tiie  stones  all  the  words  of  this 
law  very  plainly. 

Deut.  xxxi,  19,  22.  Now  there- 
fore write  ye  this  song  for  you. 
and  teacli  it  the  children  of  Israel: 
put  it  in  their  mouths,  that  this 
song  may  be  a  witness  for  me 
against  the  children  of  Israel. 
Moses  therefore  wrote  this  song 
tlie  same  day,  and  taught  it  the 
children  of  Israel. 

Josh,  viil,  32.  And  he  wrote 
there,  upon  the  stones,  a  copy  of 
the  law  of  Moses,  which  he  wrote 
in  the  presence  of  the  children  of 
Israel. 

Isa.  viil,  16.  Bind  up  the  testi-

Jer.  XXX,  2.  Thus  speaketh  the; 
Loud  God  of  Israel,  saying,  Write 
tliee  all  tlie  words  tliat  I  have 
spoken  unto  thee  in  a  book. 

Jer.  xxxvl,  2,  4,  17,  18  27-29,  32. 
Take  thee  a  roll  of  a  book,  and 
wriie  tlierein  all  (he  words  that  I 
liave  spoken  unto  thee  against 
Israel,  and  against  Judah,  and 
against  all  the  nations,  from  the 
day  1  spake  unto  thee,  from  the 
days  of  Joslah,  even  unto  this 
day.  Then.lereminb  called  Haruch 
the  son  of  Neriah:  and  BariicU 
wrote  from  the  mouth  ot  Jeremiah 
all  the  words  of  the  Lord,  wliich 
he  had  spoken  unto  him,  upon  a 
roll  of  a  book.  And  they  asked 
Biruch,  sayinor, Tell  us  now,  How 
dielst  tiiou  write  all  tlie.ie  words 
at  his  mouth?  Then  Baruch  an- 
swered them.  He  pronounced  all 
these  words  unto  nie  with  his 
mouth,  and  I  wrote  them  with  ink 
in  the  book.  Then  tlie  word  of 
tlie  Lord  came  to  Jeremiah,  (after 
that  the  king  had  burnt  the  roll, 
and  the  words  which  Baruch 
wrote  at  the  mouth  of  Jeremiah,) 
saying,  Take  thee  again  another 
roll,  and  write  in  it  all  the  former 
wonls  that  were  in  the  first  roll, 
wliich  Jehoiakim  the  king  of 
Judah  hath  burnt,  And  thou  shalt 
say  to  Jehoiakim  king  of  Judah, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Thou  hast 
burnt  tills  roll,  saying.  Why  hast 
tliou  written  therein,  saying.  The 
king  of  Babylon  shall  certainly 
come  and  destroy  this  land,  and 
%hall  cause  to  cease  from  thence 
man  and  beast?  Then  took  Jere- 
miah another  roll,  and  gave  it  to 
Baruch  the  scribe,  the  son  of  Ne- 
riah; who  wrote  therein,  from  the 
mouth  of  Jeremiah,  all  the  words 
ol  the  book  which  Jehoiakim  Wng 
of  Judah  had  burnt  in  the  fires 
and  there  were  added  besides 
unto  them  many  like  words. 

Jer,  xlv,  1.  The  word  that  Jere-

in  the  fourth  year  of  Jelioiakim 
the  son  of  JosiaLi  king  of  Judah, 
saying. 

Jer.  li,  60.  So  Jereml%h  wrote 
in  a  book  all  the  evil  that  should 
come  upon  Babylon,  even  all  these

proclaiming  wiih  a  loud  voice. 
Who  is  worthy  to  open  the  book, 
and  to  loose  the  seals  thereof? 
And  no  man  in  heaven,  nor  in 
earth,  neither  under  the  earth, 
was  able  to  open  the  book,  neither 
to  look  thereon.  And  I  wept  much, 
because  no  man  was  found  wortliy 
to  open  and  to  read  the  book, 
neither  to  look  thereon.  And  he 
came  and  took  the  book  out  of

THE   DECALOGUE. 

Exod.  XX,  1-17.  And  God  spake 
all  these  words,  saying,  I  am 
the  LoKD  thy  God,  which  have 
brought  thee  out  of  the  land  of 
Egypt,  out  of  the  house  of  bond- 
age. Thou  Shalt  have  no  other 
Gods  before  me.  Thou  shalt  not 
make  unto  thee  any  graven  image, 
or  any  likeness  of  any  thing  that 
is  in  heaven  above,  or  that  is  in 
the  earth  beneath,  or  that  is  in 
the  water  under  the  earth:  Thou 
Shalt  not  bowdowuthyself  to  them, 
nor  serve  them:  for  I  the  Lord 
thy  God  am  a  jealous  God,  visit- 
ing the  iniquity  of  the  fathers 
upon  the  children  unto  the  third 
and  fourth  generation  of  them 
that  hate  me;  And  shewing 
mercy  unto  thousands  of  them 
that  love  me,  and  keep  my  com- 
mandments. Thou  Shalt  not  take 
the  name  of  the  Lord  thy  God  in 
vain:  for  the  Lord  will  not  hold 
him  guiltless  that  taketh  his  name 
in  vain.  Remember  the  sabbath- 
day,  to  keep  it  holy.  Six  days 
Shalt  thou  labour,  and  do  all  thy 
work:  But  the  seventh  day  is  the 
sabbath  of  the  Lord  thy  God:  in 
it  thou  Shalt  not  do  any  work, 
thou,  nor  thy  son,  nor  thy  daugh- 
ter, thy  man  -  servant,  nor  tny 
maid-servant,  nor  thy  cattle,  nor 
thy  stranger  that  is  within  thy 
gates:  For  in  six  days  the  Lord 
made  heaven  and  earth,  the  sea, 
and  all  that  in  them  is,  and  rested 
the  seventh  day:  wherefore  the 
Lord  blessed  the  sabbath-day, 
and  hallowed  it.  Honour  thy 
father  and  thy  mother;  that  thy 
days  may  be  long  upon  the  land 
which  the  Lord  thy  God  giv- 
eth  thee.  Thou  shalt  not  kill. 
Tiiou  Shalt  not  commit  adultery. 
Thou  Shalt  not  steal.  Thou  shalt 
not  bear  false  witness  against  tliy 
neighbour.  Thou  shalt  not  covet 
thy  neiglfl:)0ur'8  house,  tiiou  slialt 
not  covet  thy  neighbour's  wife, 
nor  his  man-servant,  nor  his  maid- 
servant, nor  his  ox,  nor  his  ass,  nor 
any  thing  that  is  thy  neighbour's.

Exod.  xxlv,  12.  And  the  Lor©

into  the  mount,  and  be  there:  and 
I  will  give  thee  tables  of  stone, 
and  a  law,  and  commandments 
which  I  have  written;  that  thou 
mayest  teach  them. 

Exod.  xxxi,  18.  And  he  gave 
unto  Moses,  when  he  had  made 
an  end  of  communing  with  him 
upon  motint  Sinai,  two  tables  of

with  the  finger  of  God.  , 

Exod.  xxxil,  15,  16, 19.  And  Moses 
turned,  and  went  down  from  the 
mount,  and  the  two  tables  of  the 
testimony  were  in  his  hand:  the 
tables  were  written  on  botli  their 
sides;  on  the  one  side  and  on  tlie 
other  were  they  written.  And 
the  tables  were  the  work  of  God, 
and  the  writing  loas  the  writing 
of  God,  graven  upon  tlie  tables. 
And  it  came  to  pass,  as  soon  as  he 
came  nigh  unto  the  camp,  that  he 
saw  the  calf,  and  the  dancing:  and 
Moses'  anger  waxed  hot,  and  he 
cast  the  tables  out  of  his  hands, 
and  brake  them  beueatii  the 
mount. 

Exod.  xxxiv,  4. 28.  And  he  hewed

the  morning,  and  went  up  unto 
mount  Sinai,  as  the  Lord  liad 
commanded  liim,  and  took  in  his 
hand  the  two  tables  of  stone.  And 
he  was  tliere  with  the  Lord  forty 
days  and  forty  niglits;  he  did 
neither  eat  bread,  nor  drink  water. 
And  He  wrote  upon  the  tables  the 
woi-ds  of  the  covenant,  the  ten 
commandments. 

Deut.  iv,  13.  And  he  declared 
unto  you  his  covenant,  which  he

of  the  fire,  of  tlie  cloud,  and  of  the 
thick  darkness,  with  a  great  voice; 
and  he  added  no  more:  and  he 
wrote  them  in  the  two  tables  of 
Btone,  and  delivered  them  unto 
me. 

Deut.  Ix,  10,  11,  17.  And  the 
■Lord  delivered  unto  me  two

'And  it  came  to  pass,  at  the  end  of 
i forty  days  and  forty  nights,  t?cat 
the  Lord  gave  me  the  two  tables 
of  stone,  even  the  tables  of  the 
covenant.  And  I  took  the  two 
tables,  and  cast  them  out  of  my

the  congregation,  both  of  men 
and  women,  and  all  that  could 
hear  with  understanding,  upon 
the  first  day  of  the  seventh  month. 
And  Ezra  opened  the  book  in  the 
sight  of  all  the  people;  (for  he  was

him  shall  be  taken  even  that 
which  he  seemeth  to  have. 

AND  IN  HEARING  TO  OBEY 
IT. 

Deut.  iv,  1,  5,  14.  Now  therefore 
hearken,  O  Israel,  unto  the 
statutes,  and  unto  the  judgments, 
which  I  teach  you,  for  to  do  them, 
that  ye  may  live,  and  go  in  and 
possess  the  land  which  the  Lord 
God  of  your  fathers  giveth  you. 
Behold,  I  have  taught  you 
statutes  and  judgments,  even  as 
the  Lord  my  God  commanded 
me,  that  ye  should  do  so  in  the 
land  Avhither  ye  go  to  possess  it. 
And  the  Lord  commanded  me  at 
that  time  to  teach  you  statutes 
and  judgments,  that  ye  might  do 
them  in  the  lAid  whither  ye  go 
over  to  possess  it. 

Deut.  v,  1, 31.  And  Moses  called

them,  and  keep,  and  do  them. 
But  as  for  thee,  stand  thou  here 
by  me,  and  1  will  speak  unto  thee 
all  the  commandments,  and  the 
statutes,  and  the  judgments, 
which  thou  shalt  teach  them,  that 
they  may  do  them  in  the  land 
which  I  give  them  to  possess  it. 

Deut.  vi,  1,  3.  Now  these  are 
the  commandments,  the  statutes, 
and  the  judgments,  which  the 
Lord  your  God  commanded  to 
teach  you,  that  ye  might  do  them 
in  tlie  land  whither  ye  go  to  pos- 
sess it:  Hear  therefore,  O  Israel, 
and  observe  to  do  it;  that  it  may 
be  well  with  thee,  and  that  ye 
may  increase  mightily,  as  the 
Lord  God  of  thy  fathers  hath  pro- 
mised thee,  in  tlie  land  that  ^ow-

Deut.  xii,  1,  28.  These  are  the

which  the  Lord  God  of  thy  fathers 
giveth  thee  to  possess  it,  all  the 
days  that  ye  live  upon  the  earth. 
Observe  and  hear  all  these  words

NEGLECT  OF  TUTS  DUTY, 
AND  ITS  DANGER. 

Ps.  cxix,  150.  They  draw  nigh

are  far  from  thy  law. 

Jer.  viii,  8,  9.  How  do  ye  say. 
We  are  wise,  and  the  law  of  the 
Lord  is  with  us?  Lo,  certainly  in 
vain  made  he  it;  the  pen  of  the 
scribes  is  in  vain.  The  wise  men 
are  asliumed,  they  are  dismayed 
and  taken:  lo,  they  have  rejected 
the  word  of  the  Lord;  and  what 
wisdom  is  in  them? 

Jer.  XX,  8.  For  since  I  spake,  1 
cried  out,  I  cried  violence  and 
spoil;  because  the  word  of  the 
Lord  was  made  a  reproach  unto 
me,  and  a  derision,  daily. 

Jer.  xxiii,  33,  34,  38-40.  And 
when  this  [jeople,  or  the  prophet, 
or  a  priest,  shall  ask  thee,  saying, 
"What  is  the  burden  of  the  Lord? 
thou  Shalt  then  say  unto  them, 
What  burden?  I  will  even  forsake 
you,  saith  the  Lord.  And  as  for 
the  prophet,  and  the  priest,  and 
the  people,  that  shall  say.  The 
burden  of  the  Lord,  I  will  even 
punish  that  man  and  his  house. 
But  since  ye  say,  The  burden  of 
the  Lord;  therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Because  ye  say  this  word, 
The  burden  of  the  Loud,  and  I 
have  sent  unto  you,  saying.  Ye 
shall  not  say,  The  burden  of  the 
Lord;  Therefore,  behold,  I,  even 
1,  will  utterly  forget  you  and  I 
will  forsake  you,  and  the  city 
that  I  gave  you  and  your  fathers, 
and  cast  you  out  of  my  presence: 
And  1  will  bring  au  everlasting 


reproach  upon  you,  and  a  per 
petual  shame,  which  shall  not  be 
forgotten. 

Jer.  xxxvl,  11-13,  16.  20,23,25, 
29.  When  Michaiah  the  son  of 
Gemariah,  the  son  of  Shaphan, 
had  heard  out  of  the  book  all  the 
words  of  the  Lord,  Then  he 
went  down  into  the  king's  house, 
into  the  scribe's  chamber:  and,  lo, 
all  the  princes  sat  there,  even 
Elishama  the  scribe,  and  Delaiah 
the  son  of  Shemaiah,  and  Elna- 
than  the  son  of  Achbor,  and  Ge- 
mariah the  son  of  Shaphan,  and 
Zedekiah  the  son  of  Hauaniah, 
and  all  the  princes.  Then  Micha- 
iah declared  unto  them  all  the 
words  that  he  had  heard,  when 
Baruch  read  the  book  in  the  ears 
of  the  people.  Now  it  came  to 
pass,  when  they  had  heard  all  the 
words,  they  were  afraid,  both  one 
and  other,  and  said  unto  Baruch, 
We  will  surely  tell  the  king  of  all 
these  words.  And  they  went  in 
to  the  king  into  the  court,  but 
they  laid  up  the  roll  in  the  cham- 
ber of  Elishama  the  scribe,  and 
told  all  the  words  in  the  ears  of 
the  king.  And  it  came  to  pass, 
that  when  Jehudi  had  read  three 
or  four  leaves,  he  cut  it  with  the 
penknife,  and  cast  it  into  the  fire 
that  loas  on  the  hearth,  until  all 
the  roll  was  consumed  in  the  fire 
that  was  on  the  hearth.  Never- 
theless Elnathan,  and  Delaiah, 
and  Gemariah,  had  made  inter- 
cession to  the  king  that  he  would 
not  burn  the  roll;  but  he  would 
not  hear  them.  And  thou  shall 
say  to  Jehoiakim  king  of  Judah, 
Thus  saith  the  Loiio;  Thou  hast 
burnt  this  roll,  saying.  Why  hast 
thou  written  therein,  saying. 
The  king  of  Babylon  shall  certain- 
ly come  and  destroy  this  land, 
and  shall  cause  to  cease  from 
thence  nfen  and  beast? 

Hosea  viii,  12.  I  have  written  to 
him  the  great  things  of  my  law, 
but  they  were  counted  as  a  strange 
thing. 

EXPOSITION  OF  SCRIPTURE. 

Ezra  vli,  lO.  For  Ezra  had  pre- 
pared his  heart  to  seek  the  law 
of  the  Lord,  and  to  do  it,  and  to 
teach  in  Israel  statutes  and  judg- 
ments.

And  Philip  ran  thither  to  him, 
and  heard  him  read  the  prophet 
Esaias,  and  said,  Understandest 
thou  what  thou  readest?  And  he 
said.  How  can  I,  except  some 
man  should  guide  me?  And  he 
desired  Philip  that  he  would  come 
up  and  sit  with  him. 

Acts  xviii,  26.  And  he  began  to

persuading  them^  concerning 
Jesus,  both  out  of  the  law  of 
M(jse8,  and  out  of  the  prophets.

things.

nnto  tliem,  Have  ye  understood 
all  these  things?  They  say  unto 
him,  Yea,  Lord.  Then  said  he 
unto  them.  Therefore  every 
scribe,  which  is  instructed  unto 
the  kingdom  of  heaven,  is  like 
unto  a  man  that  is  an  householder, 
which  bringetli  forth  out  of  his

know  the  mystery  of  the  king- 
dom of  God:  but  unto  them  that 
are  without,  all  these  things  are 
done  in  parables:  That  seeing 
they  may  see,  and  not  perceive; 
and  hearing  they  may  hear,  and

them.

observe  to  do,  ail  the  words  of 
this  law. 

Josh,  i,  8.  This  book  of  the  law 
shall  not  depart  out  of  thy  mouth; 
but  thou  Shalt  meditate  therein

delight  myself  in  thy  command- 
ments, which  I  have  loyed.   My 


hajUds  also  will  I  lift  up  unto  thy 
commandments,  which  I  have 
loved;  and  I  will  meditate  In  thy

waited  for  me  to  destroy  me:  but 
I  will   consider  thy  testimonies.

Ezek.  ii,  8,  9.  But  thou,  son  of 
man,  hear  what  I  say  unto  thee; 
Be  not  thou  rebellious  like  that 
rebellious  house:  open  thy  mouth, 
and  eat  that  I  give  thee.  And 
when  I  looked,  behold,  an  hand 
was  sent  unto  me;  and,  lo,  a  roll 
of  a  book  was  therein. 

Ezek.  iii,  1-3.  Moreover,  he  said 
unto  me.  Son  of  man,  eat  that 
thou  findest;  eat  this  roll,  and  go 
speak  unto  the  house  of  Israel. 
So  I  opened  my  mouth,  and  he 
caused  me  to  eat  that  roll.  And 
he  said  unto  me,  Son  of  man, 
cause  thy  belly  to  eat,  and  fill  thy 
bowels  with  this  roll  that  I  give 
thee.  Then  did  I  eat  it;  and  it 
was  in  my  mouth  as  honey  for 
sweetness. 

Pev.  X,  8-10.  And  the  voice 
which  I  heard  from  heaven  spake 
unto  me  again,  and  said,  Go  and 
take  the  little  book  which  is  open 
in  the  hand  of  the  angel  which 
standeth  upon  the  sea  and  upoa 
the  earth.  And  I  went  unto  tho 
angel,  and  said  unto  him.  Give 
me  the  little  book.  And  he  said 
unto  me.  Take  it,  and  eat  it  up; 
and  it  shall  make  thy  belly  bitter, 
but  it  shall  be  in  thy  mouth  sweet 
as  honey.  And  I  took  the  little 
book  out  of  the  angel's  hand,  and 
ate  it  up;  and  it  was  in  my  mouth 
sweet  as  honey:  and  as  soon  as  I 
had  eaten  it,  my  belly  was  bitter.

ought  to  answer  every  man.

man  and  endued  with  knowledge 
among  you?  let  him  shew  out  of  a 
good  conversation  his  works  with 
meekness  of  wisdom. 

1  Pet.  ii,  1.  Wherefore,  laying 
aside  all  malice,  and  all  guile,  and 
hypocrisies,  and  envies,  and  all 
evil-speakings. 

1  Pet.  iii,  9, 10, 15.  Not  rendering 
evil  for  evil,  or  railing  for  railing: 
but  contrariwise  blessing;  know- 
ing that  ye  are  thereunto  called, 
that  ye  should  inherit  a  blessing. 
For  he  that  will  love  Ufe.  and  see 
good  days,  let  him  refrain  his 
tongue  from  evil,  and  his  lips 
that  they  speak  no  guile:  But 
sanctify  the  Lord  Goil  in  your 
liearts;  and  be  ready  always  to  give 
an  answi-r  to  every  man  that  ask- 
eth  you  a  reason  of  the  hope  tliat 
is  in  you  with  meekness  and  fear.

their  own  tongue  to  full  upon 
themselves:  all  that  see  them  shah 
flee  away.

wisdom  despi'f'th  his  neighbour: 
6C3 


but  a  man  of  tmderstanding  hold- 
eth  his  peace. 

Prov.  xii,  13.  The  wicked  is 
snared  by  the  transgression  of  his 
lips:  but  the  just  shall  come  out  of 
trouble. 

Prov.  xvif,  9,  27,  28.  He  that 
covereth  a  transgression  seeketh 
love:  but  he  that  repeateth  a 
matter  sepirateth  very  friends. 
He  that  hath  knowledge  spareth 
his  words;  and  a  man  of  under- 
standing is  of  an  excellent  spirit. 
Even  a  fool,  when  he  holdeth  his 
peace,  is  counted  wise;  and  he  that 
shutteth  his  \\^s  is  esteemed  a  man 
of  understanding.

manners. 

James  1, 19,  26.  Wherefore,  my 
beloved  brethren,  let  every  man 
be  swift  to  hear,  slow  to  speak, 
slow  to  wrath:  If  any  man  among 
you  seem  to  be  religious,  and 
bridleth  not  his  torigue,  but  de- 
ceiveth  his  own  heart,  this  man's 
religion  is  vain. 

James  iii,  5,  6,  8.  Even  so  the 
tongue  is  a  little  member,  and 
boasteth  great  things.  Behold 
how  great  a  matter  a  little  fire 
kindleth!  And  the  tongue  is  a 
fire,  a  world  of  iniquity:  so  is  the 
tongue  among  our  members.lhat  it 
defileththe  whole  body,and  setteth 
on  fire  the  course  of  nature ;  and 
it  is  set  on  fire  of  hell.  But  the 
tongue  can  no  man  tame;  it  is  an 
unruly  evil,  full  of  deadly  poison. 

PROPRIETY  OP  SPEECH. 

Job  xxxii,  11-14.  Behold,  I  wait- 
ed for  your  words ;  I  gave  ear  to 
your  reasons,  wldlst  ye  searched 
out  what  to  say.  Yea,  I  attended 
unto  you;  and,  behold,  there  teas 
none  of  you  that  convinced  Job, 
or  that  answered  liis  words;  Lest 
ye  should  say.  We  have  found  out 
wl>dom:  God  thrusteth  him  down, 
not  man.  Now,  lie  hath  not  di- 
rected  his  words  against  me; 
neither  will  1  answer  him  with 
your  speeches. 

Ps.  xxxvii,  30.  The  mouth  ol 
the  righteous  spoaketh  wisdom, 
and  his  tongue  talketh  of  judg- 
ment. 

Prov.  xvlii.  4.  The  words  of  s 
man's  moutli  are  as  deep  waters 
and  the  well-spring  of  wisdom  ai

SPEECH. 


Trov.  xX  6.  CoTinsel  In  thehean 
of  man  is  like  deep  water:  but  a 
naan  of  uadersttiucling  will  draw 
it  out. 

Frov.  XXV,  15.  By  long  forbear- 
ing 18  a  prince  persuaded,  and  a 
Bott  tongue  breabetlithe  bone. 

Frov.  xxxl,  26.  She  openeth  her 
m<iuth  with  wisdom ;  and  in  her 
tongue  is  the  law  of  kindness. 

Jiccles.  xii,  11.  The  words  of  the 
wise  are  as  goads,  and  as  nails 
fastened  by  the  masters  of  assem- 
blies, lohicfi  are  given  from  one 
shepherd. 

./awes  lit,  2.  For  in  many  things 
we  I  ffond  all.  If  any  man  offend 
not  in  woril,  the  same  is  a  perfect 
man,  and  able  also  to  bridle  the 
Whole  body. 

IMPROPRIETY. 

Frov.  X,  11, 19-21.  The  month  of 
a  rit,4iteous  man  is  a  well  of  life: 
but  violence  covereth  tiie  mouth 
of  the  wicked.  In  the  multitude 
of  words  there  wanteth  not  sin: 
but  he  that  refraineth  his  lips  is 
■wise.  The  tongue  of  the  just  is 
as  choice  silver:  the  heart  of  the 
wicked  is  little  worth.  The  lips 
of  the  rigliteous  feed  many:  but 
fools  die  lor  want  of  wisdom. 

Frov.  xii,  22, 23.  Lying  lips  are 
abomination  to  the  Loud:  but  they 
that  (leal  truly  are  his  delight.  A 
prudent  man  coTicealetli  know- 
lecige:  but  the  heart  of  fools  pro- 
Claimeth  foolishness. 

Frov.  xiii,  2,  16.  A  man  shall 
eat  good  by  the  truit  of  his  month: 
but  the  soul  of  the  transgressors 
Shall  eat  violence.  Every  prudent 
man  dealeth  with  knowledge : 
but  a  fool  layeth  open  his  folly. 

Frov.  XV,  1-4,7, 28.  A  soft  answer 
tnrneth  away  wrath:  but  grievous 
words  stir  up  anger.  The  tongue 
of  the  wise  useth  knowledge 
aright:  but  the  mouth  of  fools 
pourelh  out  foolishness.  The  eyes 
of  the  Loud  are  in  every  place, 
beholding  the  evil  and  the  good. 
A  wholesome  tongue  is  a  tree  of 
life:  but  perverseness  tiierein  is  a 
breach  in  the  spirit.  Tiie  lips 
of  the  wise  disperse  knowledge  : 
but  the  heart  of  the  foolish  doeth 
not  BO.  The  heart  of  the  right- 
eous studieth  to  answer:  but  the 
mouth  of  the  wicked  poureth  out 
evil  things. 

Eccles.  ix,  17.  The  words  of 
wise  men  are  heard  in  quiet,  more 
than  the  cry  of  him  that  rulelh 
among  fools. 

Eccles.  X,  12.  The  words  of  a 
wise  Hi:in'-  mouth  are  gracious; 
but  the  lips  of  a  fool  will  swallow 
up  himself. 

LOQUACITY. 
Frov.  X,  8.  The  wise  lu  heart 


win  receive  commandments:  but 
a  prating  fool  shall  fall. 

Frov.  xiii,  3.  He  that  keepeth 
his  mouth  keepeth  his  life:  but  he 
that  openeth  wide  his  lips  shall 
have  destruction. 

Frov.  xviii,  2,  3,  6,  7,  13.  A  fool 
hath  no  delight  in  understanding, 
but  that  his  lieart  may  discover  it- 
self. Whenthe  wicked  cometh,  then 
Cometh  also  contempt,  and  with 
ignominy  reproach.  A  fool's  lips 
enter  into  contention,  and  his 
mouth  calleth  for  strokes.  A 
fool's  mouth  is  his  destruction, 
and  his  lips  are  the  snare  of  his 
soul.  He  that  answereth  a  matter 
before  he  heareth  it,  it  is  tolly  and 
shame  unto  him. 

Frov.  xxix,  11,  20.  A  fool  utter- 
eth  all  his  mind:  but  a  wise  man 
keepeth  it  in  till  afterwards 
Seest  thou  a  man  that  is  hasty  in 
his  words?  there  is  more  hope  of 
a  fool  than  of  him. 

Eccles.  X,  14.  A  fool  also  is  full 
of  words:  a  man  cannot  tell  what 
shall  be ;  and  what  shall  be  after 
him,  who  can  tell  him? 

SILENCE. 

Gen.  xxiv,  21.  And  the  man 
wondering  at  her  held  his  peace, 
to  wit  w  hetherthe  Lord  had  made 
his  journey  prosperous  or  not. 

2  Kings  xviii,  36.  But  the  people 
held  their  peace,  and  answered 
him  not  a  word:  for  the  king's 
commandment  was,  saying.  An- 
swer him  not. 

Job  xiii,  19.  Who  is  he  that  will 
plead  with  me?  for  now,  if  1  hold 
my  tongue,  1  shall  give  up  the 
ghost. 

Job  xxix,  9.  The  princes  re- 
frained talking,  and  laid  their 
hand  on  their  mouth. 

Job  xxxii,  15,  16.  They  were 
amazed;  tiiey  answered  no  more; 
they  left  off  speaking.  When  I 
had  waited,  (tor  they  spake  not, 
but  stood  still,  and  answered  no 
more.) 

Fs.  xxxix,  1, 2. 1  said,  I  will  take 
heed  to  my  ways,  that  I  sin  not 
with  my  tongue:  I  will  keep  my 
mouth  with  a  bridle,  while  the 
wicked  is  before  me.  I  was  dumb 
with  silence;  I  held  my  peace, 
even  from  good ;  and  my  sorrow 
was  stirred. 

Isa.  xxxvi,  21.  But  they  held 
their  peace,  and  answered  him  not 
a  w  ord:  for  the  king's  comtnand- 
ment  was,  saying,  Answer  him 
not. 

Isa.  xii,  1.  Keep  silence  before 
me,  U  i.-ilands;  and  let  the  people 
renew  tlielr  strength:  let  them 
come  near;  let  them  gpeak :  let 
us  come  near  together  to  judg- 
ment. 

Zeph.  1, 7.  II  oM  thy  peace  at  the 


presence  of  the  Lord  God;  for

Sarah  laughed  within  herself,  say- 
ing. After  I  am  waxed  old  shall  I

Abraham,  Wherefore  did  Sarah

Gen.  xxvii,  21-23.  And  Isaac 
said  unto  Jacob,  Come  near,  I  pray 
thee,  that  I  may  feel  thee,  my  son, 
whether  thou  be  my  very  son 
Esau  or  not.  And  Jacob  went 
near  unto  Isaac  his  father;  and  he 
felt  him,  and  said.  The  voice  is 
Jacob's  voice,  but  the  hands  are 
the  hands  of  Esau.  And  he  dis- 
cerned him  not,  because  his  hands 
were  hairy,  as  his  brother  Esau's 
hands.    So  he  blessed  hun. 

Gen.  xxxi,  33.  37.  And  Jacob 
was  wroth,  aud  chode  with  Laban: 
and  Jacob  answered  and  said  to 
Laban,  What  is  my  tret-pass? 
what  is  my  sin,  that  thou  hast  so 
hotly  pursued  after  me?  Where- 
as thou  hast  searched  all  my  stuff, 
what  hast  thou  found  of  all  thy 
household  stuff?  set  it  here  before 
my  brethren  and  thy  brethren,

both.

Then  Moses  heard  the  people 
weep  throughout  their  families, 
every  man  in  the  door  of  his  tent: 
and  the  anger  of  the  Lord  was

displeased.  And  Moses  said  unto 
the  Lord,  Wherelore  hast  thou 
afflicted  thy  servant?  and  where- 
fore have  I  not  found  favour  in 
thy  sight,  that  thou  layest  the 
burden  of  all  this  people  upon  me? 
Whence  should  I  have  flesh  to  give 
unto  all  this  people?  for  they  weep 
unto  me,  saying.  Give  us  flesh, 
that  we  may  eat.  I  am  not  able 
to  bear  all  this  people  alene, 
because  it  is  too  1  eavy  for  me.

am  not  inferiur  unto  you.  Surely  I 
would  speak  to  the  Almighty,  and 
I  desire  to  reason  with  God.  Hear 
now  my  reasoning,  and  hearken 
to  the  pleadings  of  my  lips.  Hold

eth  thine  iniquity,  and  thou

as  ye  do:  it  your  soul  were  in  my 
Boul's  stead,  I  could  heap  up 
words  against  you,  and  shake 
mine  head  at  you.  But  I  would 
Btrenglhen  you  with  my  mouth, 
and  the  moving  of  my  lips  should

Job  xi,  2,  3.  Should  not  the 
multitude  of  words  be  answered? 
and  sliould  a  man  full  of  talk  be 
justified?  Should  tliy  lies  make 
men  hold  their  peace?  and  when 
thou  mockest,  shall  no  man  make 
tliee  ashamed? 

Job  xiii,  14.  Wlierefore  do  I 
take  my  flesh  in  my  teeth,  and 
put  my  life  in  mine  hand? 

Job  XV,  2,  3.  Should  a  wise  man 
utter  vain  knowledge,  and  All  his 
belly  with  the  east  wind?  Should 
he  reason  with  unprofitable  talk? 
or  with  speeches  wherewith  he 
can  do  no  good? 

Job  xvi,  2, 3.  I  have  heard  many 
such  tilings:  miserable  comfortera 
are  ye  all.  Shall  vain  words  have 
an  end?  or  what  emboldeueth 
thee  that  thou  answeresi? 

Job  xviii,  4.  He  teareth  himself 
in  his  anger:  shall  the  earth  be 
forsaken  for  thee?  and  shall  the 
rock  be  removed  out  of  his  place? 

Job  xix,  2-4.  How  long  will  ye 
vex  my  soul,  and  break  me  in 
pieces  with  words?  These  ten 
times  have  ye  reproaclied  me: 
ye  are  not  ashamed  that  ye  make 
yourselves  strange  to  me.  And 
be  it  indeed  that  I  have  erred, 
mine  error  remaineth  with  my- 
self. 

Job  XX,  2,  3.  Therefore  do  my 
thoughts  cause  me  to  answer,  and 
for  this  I  make  haste.  I  have 
heard  the  check  of  my  reproach, 
and  the  spirit  of  my  understand- 
ing causeth  me  to  answer. 

Job  xxi,  34.  How  then  comfort 
ye  me  in  vain,  seeing  in  youi 
answers  there  remaiueth  false- 
hood. 

Job  xxvl,  4.  To  whom  hast  thou 
uttered  words?  and  whose  spirit 
came  from  thee? 

Job  xxvii,  11.  I  will  teach  jon 


by  the  hand  of  God;  that  which 
is  with  the  Almighty  will  I  not 
conceal. 

2  Sam.  xix,  28-30.  For  all  of 
my  father's  honse  were  but  dead 
men  betore  my  lord  ttie  king;  yet 
didst  thou  set  thy  servant  among 
them  that  did  eat  at  tliine  own 
table:  wliat  right  therefore  have  1 
yet  to  cry  any  more  ui>to  the 
king?  And  the  king  said  unto 
him,  Why  speakest  thou  any 
more  of  thy  matters?  I  have 
said,  Thou  and  Ziba  divide  the 
land.  And  Mepliibosheth  said 
unto  the  king,  Yea,  let  him  take 
all,  forasmuch  as  my  lord  the 
king  is  come  again  in  peace  unto 
Lis  own  house. 

Job  vi,  28.  Now  therefore  be 
conient;  louk  upon  me:  for  it  is 
evident  unto  you  if  I  lie. 

Job  XV,  6.  Thine  own  mouth 
condeiimeth  thee,  and  not  I;  yea, 
thine  own  lips  testify  against 
thee. 

Job  xyii,  10.  But  as  for  you  all, 
do  ye  return,  and  come  now:  for 
I  cannot  find  one  wise  vian 
among  you. 

Job  xix,  28.  But  ye  should  say, 
Why  persecute  we  him,  seeing 
the  root  of  the  matter  is  found  in 
me? 

Job  xxiv,  25.  And  if  it  be  not  so 
now,  who  will  make  me  a  liar, 
and  make  my  speech  nothing 
worth. 

Job  xxxiv,  36.  My  desire  is,  that 
Job  may  be  tried  unto  the  end, 
because  of  his  answers  for  wicked 
men. 

Job  XXXV,  16.  Therefore  doth 
Job  open  his  mouth  in  vain;  he 
muitiplieth  words  without  knov/- 
ledge. 

REPROOF. 

Lev.  xix,  17.  Thou  shalt  not 
hate  thy  brother  in  thine  heart: 
thou  Shalt  in  anywise  rebuke  thy 
neighbour,  and  not  suffer  sin  upon 
him.  j 

Ps.  cxli,  5,  6.  Let  the  righteous 
smite  me;  it  shall  be  a  kindness;  i 
and  let  him  reprove  me;  it  shall  be 
an  excellent  oil,  which  shall  not  I 
break  my  head:  for  yet  my 
prayer  also  shall  be  in  their ' 
calamities.  Wlien  tlieir  Judges 
are  overtlirown  in  stony  places, ! 
they  shall  hear  my  words:  for 
they  are  sweet. 

Frov.  ix,  7-9.  He  that  reproveth 
a  scorner  getteth  to  himself 
shame;  and  he  that  rebuketh  a 
wicked  man  getteth  himself  a  blot. 
Reprove  not  a  scorner,  lest  he 
hale  thee:  rebuke  a  wise  man, 
and  he  will  love  thee.  Give 
instrxiction  to  a  wise  man,  and  lie 
will  be  yet  wiser,  teach  a  just 
man,  and  he  will  increase  in 
learning. 


SPEECH. 

Prow.  X,  17.  lie  is  in  the  way  of 

life  that  keepetli  instruction:  but 
he  that  retuseth  reproof  erreth. 

Prov.  xii,  1:  Wlioso  loveth 
instruction  loveth  knowledge:  but 
he  that  hateth  reproof  is  brutish. 

Prov.  xiii,  18.  Poverty  and 
shame  shall  be  to  him  that  refus- 
eth  instruction:  but  he  that  re- 
gardeth  reproof  shall  be  honoured. 

Prov.  XV,  10, 12,3 1,32.  Correction  is 
grievous  unto  liim  that  forsaketh 
tlie  way;  and  he  that  hateth 
reproof  shall  die.  A  scorner  lov- 
eth not  one  that  reproveth  him; 
neitlier  will  he  go  unto  the  wise. 
Tlie  ear  tiiat  liearetli  the  reproof 
of  life,  abideth  among  the  wise. 
He  that  retuseth  instruction 
despiseth  his  own  soul:  but  he 
that  heareth  reproof  getteth  un- 
derstanding. 

Prov.  xvii,  10.  A  reproof  enter- 
eth  more  into  a  wise  man  than  an 
hundred  stripes  into  a  fool. 

Prov.  xxiv,  25.  But  to  them  that 
rebuke  him  shall  be  delight,  and 
a  good  blessing  shall  come  upon 
them. 

Prov.  XXV,  12.  As  an  earring  of 
gold,  and  an  ornament  of  fine 
gold,  so  is  a  wise  reprover  upon  an 
obedient  ear. 

Prov.  xxvii,  5.  Open  rebuke  is 
better  than  secret  love. 

Prov.  xxviii,  4.  They  that  for- 
sake the  law  praise  tlie  wicked: 
but  such  as  keep  the  law  contend 
with  them. 

Eccles.  vii,  5.  It  is  better  to 
hear  the  rebulie  of  the  wise,  than 
for  a  man  to  hear  the  son^--  of 
fools. 

Amos  V,  10.  They  hate  him  that 
rebuketh  in  the  gate,  and  they 
abhor  him  that  speaketh  up- 
rightly. 

1  Tim.  V,  1,  2,  20.  Rebuke  not 
an  elder,  but  entreat  him  as  a 
father;  and  the  younger  men  as 
brethren;  The  elder  women  as 
mothers;  tlie  younger  as  sisters, 
with  all  purity.  Them  that  sin 
rebuke  betore  all,  that  others  also 
may  fear. 

Oen.  xxi.  25.  And  Abraham 
reproved  Abimelech  because  of  a 
well  of  water,  which  Al)imelech's 
servants  had  violently  taken 
away. 

Gen.  xxvl,  26, 27.  Then  Abime- 
lech went  to  him  from  Gerar,  and 
Ahuzzath  one  of  liis  friends,  and 
Phichol  the  chief  captain  oi  his 
artny.  And  Isaac  said  unto  them. 
Wherefore  come  ye  to  me,  seeing 
ye  hate  me,  and  have  sent  me 
away  from  you? 

Matth.  xvl,  22  23.  Then  Peter 
took  him,  and  began  to  rebuke 
him,  saying,  Be  it  far  from  thee, 
665 


Lord:  this  shall  not  be  unto  thee. 
But  he  turned,  and  said  unto 
Peter,  Get  thee  behind  i^ie,  Satan: 
thou  art  an  olTence  unto  me;  for 
thou  savourest  not  the  things 
that  be  of  God,  but  those  that  be 
of  men. 

Gal.  ii,  11-13.  But  when  Peter 
was  cume  to  Antioch,  I  withstood 
him  to  the  face,  because  he  was 
to  be  blamed.  For.  betore  that 
certain  came  from  James,  he  did 
eat  with  the  Gentiles:  but  when 
they  were  c<mie,  he  withdrew, 
and  separated  himself,  fearing 
tliem  which  were  of  the  circum- 
cision. And  the  other  Jews  dis- 
sembled likewise  with  him;  inso- 
much that  Barnabas  also  was 
carried  away  with  their  dissimul- 
ation.

words  of  the  people  unto  the 
Lord. 

Exod.  xxiv,  3.  And  Moses  came 
and  told  the  people  all  the  words 
of  the  Lord,  and  all  the  judg- 
ments: and  all  the  peoi-le  an- 
swered with  one  voice,  and  said. 
All  the  words  which  the  Loud 
hath  said  will  we  do. 

Deut.  V,  27,  28.  Go  thou  near, 
and  liear  all  tliut  the  Lord  our 
God  shall  say;  and  speak  tliou 
unto  us  all  that  the  Loud  our  God 
shall  speak  unto  tliee,  and  we 
will  hear  it,  and  do  it.  And  the 
LoKD  heard  the  voice  of  your 
words,  when  ye  spake  unto  me; 
and  the  Lord  said  unto  me,  I 
have  heard  the  voice  of  the 
words  of  this  people,  wliich  tliey 
have  spoken  unto  thee:  they  have 
well  said  all  that  they  have 
spoken. 

Josh,  xxiv,  15, 16, 18, 21. 22-24.  And 
if  it  seem  evil  unto  you  to  serve 
the  Lord,  choose  you  tliis  day 
whom  ye  will  serve;  whether  the 
gods  which  your  fathers  served, 
that  were  on  the  other  side  oi  the 
flood,  or  the  gods  of  the  Amorites, 
in  whose  land  ye  dwell:  but  as  for 
me  and  my  house,  we  will  serve 
the  Lord.  And  the  people  an 
swered  and  said,  God  forbid  that 
we  should  lorsake  the  Lord,  to 
serve  other  gods:  And  the  Lord 
drave  out  from  before  us  all  the 
people,  even  tlie  Amorites  which 
dwelt  in  the  laml;  therefore  will 
we  also  serve  tiie  Loui>,  fur  he  is 
our  God.  And  the  people  said 
unto  Joshua,  Nay;  but  we  will 
serve  the  Loud.  And  Joshua 
said  unto  the  pei'ple,  Ye  are  wit- 
nesses against  yourselves  that  ye 


SPEECH. 


have  chosen  yon  the  tORD,  to 
servre  him.  And  they  said,  We 
are  witnesses. 

Josh,  xxiv,  23,  24.  Now  there- 
put  away  (said  fie)  the  strange 
gods  which  are  among  you,  and 
Incline  your  lieart  unto  the  Lord 
God  of  Israel.  And  the  people 
said  unto  Joshua,  The  Lord  our 
God  will  we  serve,  and  his  voice 
0  will  we  ohey. 

Jer.  xlii,  6.  Whether  it  be  good, 
or  wlietlier  it  be  evil,  we  will  obey 
the  voice  of  the  Lord  our  God,  to 
whom  we  send  thee;  that  it  may 
be  well  with  us,  when  we  obey 
the  voice  of  the  Lord  our  God.

Ps.  xvil,  3.  Thou  hast  proved 
mine  heart;  thou  hast  visited  me 
In  the  night;  thou  hast  tried  me, 
and  Shalt  find  nothing:  I  am  pur- 
posed that  my  mouth  shall  not 
transgress. 

Fs.  xxvi,  11.  But  as  for  me,  I 
will  walk  in  mine  integrity:  re- 
deem me,  and  be  merciful  unto 
me. 

Ps.  cxvl,  9.  I  will  walk  before 
the  Lord  in  the  land  of  the  living. 

Ps.  cxix,  57.  Thou  art  my  por- 
tion, O  Lord:  I  have  said  that  I 
would  keep  thy  words. 

JIatth.  xxvi,  33,  35.  Peter  an- 
swered and  said  unto  him,Though 
all  men  shall  be  offended  because 
of  thee,  yet  will  I  never  be  of- 
fended. Peter  said  unto  him, 
Tliough  I  shoold  die  with  thee, 
yet  will  I  not  deny  thee.  Like- 
wise also  said  all  the  disciples. 

Mark  xiv,  29-31.  But  Peter  said 
unto  him.  Although  all  sliall  be 
offended,  yet  will  not  I.  And 
Jesus  saith  unto  him,  Verily  I 
■say  unto  theo,  That  this  day,  even 
in  this  night,  before  the  cock  crow 
itwice,  thou  shalt  deny  me  thrice. 
'But  he  spake  the  more  vehement- 
ly,  It  I  should  die  with  thee,  I  will 
not  deny  thee  in  any  wise.  Like- 
Wise  also  said  they  all. 

LuJce  xxil,  33.  And  he  said  unto

thee  both  into  prison,  and  to 
death.

put  on,  So  that  I  come  again  to 
my  father's  house  in  peace,  then 
shall  the  Lord  be  my  God.  And 
this  stone,  which  I  have  set  /or  a 
pillar,  shall  be  God's  house 

Gen.  xxxi,  13.  I  am  the  God  of 
Beth-el,  wliere  thou  anoiutedst 
the  pillar,and  where  thou  vowedst

till  they  had  killed  Paul.  And 
they  were  more  than  forty  which 
had  made  this  conspiracy.  And 
tliey  came  to  the  chief  priests  and 
elders,  and  said,  We  have  bound 
ourselves  under  a  great  curse, 
that  we  will  eat  notliiiig  until  we 
have  slain  Paul.  Now  therefore 
ye  with  the  council  signify  to  the 
chief  captain,  tiiat  he  bring  him 
down  unto  you  to-morrow,  as 
though  ye  would  enquire  some- 
tldug  more  perfectly  concerning 
him:  and  we,  or  ever  he  come 
near,  are  ready  to  kill  him. 

Special  Case  op  Non-obliga- 
tion. 

Num.  XXX,  3-16.  If  a  woman 
also  vow  a  vow  unto  the  Lord, 
and  bind  herself  by  a  bond,  being 
in  her  father's  house  in  her  youtlj; 
And  her  father  hear  lier  vow,  and 
her  bond  wherewith  she  hath 
bound  her  soul,  and  her  father 
shall  hold  his  peace  at  her:  then 
all  her  vows  shall  stand,  and 
every  bond  wherewith  she  hath 
bound  her  soul  shall  stand.  But 
if  her  fatlier  disallow  her  in  the 
day  that  he  heareth;  not  any  of 
her  vows,  or  of  her  bonds,  wliere- 
with  she  hath  bound  her  soul, 
shall  stand;  and  the  Lord  shall 
forgive  her,  because  her  lather 
disallowed  her.  And  if  she  had 
at  ail  an  husband  when  she  vowed, 
or  uttered  aught  out  of  her  lips, 
wherewith  she  bound  her  soul. 
And  her  husb  ind  hearl  it,i\n(l  held 
his  peace  at  her  in  the  day  that 
he  heard  it:  tlien  lier  vows  shall 
stand,  and  her  bonds  wherewith 
she  bound  h*^r  soul  shall  stand. 
But  U  her  husband  disallowed  her 
on  the  day  that  he  heard  it;  then 
he  shall  make  her  vow  which  she 
vowed,  and  that  which  she  utter- 
ed with  her  hpe,  v^herewith  she 


bonnd  her  soul,  of  none  effect; 
and  the  Lord  shall  forgive  her. 
But  every  vow  of  a  widow,  and  of 
her  that  is  divorced,  wherewith 
they  have  bound  their  souls,  sliall 
stand  against  her.  And  if  she 
vowed  in  her  husband's  house,  or 
bound  her  soul  by  a  bond  with  an 
oath;  And  her  husband  heard  it, 
and  held  his  peace  at  her,  and  dis- 
allowed her  not;  then  all  her 
vows  shall  stand,  and  every  bond 
wherewith  she  bound  her  soul 
sliall  stand.  But  if  her  husband 
hath  utterly  made  them  void  on 
the  day  he  heard  tfiem;  then 
whatsoever  proceeded  out  of  her 
lips  concerning  her  vows,  or  con- 
cerning the  bond  of  her  soul,  shall 
not  stand:  her  husband  hath  made 
them  void;  and  the  Lord  shall  for- 
give her.  Every  vow,  and  every 
binding  oath  to  afflict  the  soul, 
her  husband  may  establish  it,  or 
her  husband  may  make  it  void. 
But  if  her  husband  altogether  hold 
his  peace  at  her  from  day  to  day; 
then  he  establisheth  all  her  vows, 
or  all  her  bonds,  which  are  upon 
her:  he  conflrmeth  them,  because 
he  held  his  peace  at  her  in  the 
day  that  he  heard  them.  But  if 
he  shall  any  wise  make  them  void, 
after  that  he  hath  heard  them;  then 
he  shall  bear  her  iniquity.  These 
are  the  statutes  which  the  Lord 
commanded  Moses  between  a 
man  and  his  wife,  between  the 
father  and  his  daughter,  being  yet 
in  her  youth  iu  her  father's 
house.

ground.  And  when  the  people 
were  come  into  the  wood,  behold, 
the  honey  dropped;  but  no  man 
put  his  hand  to  his  mouth:  for  the 
people  feared  the  oath.  But  Jo- 
nathan heard  not  when  his"  father 
charged  the  people  with  the  oatn: 
wherefore  he  put  forth  the  end  of 
the  rod  that  was  in  his  hand,  and 
dipped  it  in  an  honeycomb,  and 
put  his  hand  to  hismoutli;  and  his 
eyes  ^  were  enlightened.  Then 
answered  one  of  the  people,  and 
said,  Thy  father  straitly  charged 
the  people  with  an  oath,  saying, 
Cursed  be  the  man  that  eateth  any 
food  this  day.  And  the  people 
were  faint.  For,  as  the  Lord 
liveth,which  saveth  Israel,  though 
it  be  in  Jonathan  my  son,  he  shall 
surely  die.  But  there  was  not  a 
man  among  all  the  people  that 
answered  him.  And  Saul  answer- 
ed, God  do  so  and  more  also:  for 
thou  Shalt  surely  die,  Jonathan. 
And  the  people  said  unto  Saul, 
Shall  Jonathan  die,  wlio  hath 
wrought  this  great  salvation  in 
Israel?  God  forbid:  as  the  Lord 
liveth;  there  shall  not  one  hair  of 
his  head  fall  to  the  ground;  for  he 
hath  wrought  with  God  this  day. 
So  the  people  rescued  Jonathan, 
that  he  died  not. 

1  Sam.  xix,  6.  And  Saul  heark- 
ened unto  the  voice  ot  Jonathan: 
and  Saul  sware.  As  the  Lord 
liveth,  he  shall  not  be  slain. 

ISam.  XX.3.  But  truly, as  the  Lord 
livetli,  and  as  thy  soul  liveth,  there 
is  but  a  step  between  me  and 
death. 

1  Sam.  XX,  13, 17.  The  Lord  do 
so  and  much  more  to  Jonathan: 
but  if  it  please  my  father  to  do 
thee  evil,  then  I  will  shew  it  thee, 
and  send  tliee  away,  that  thou 
mayest  go  in  peace;  and  the  Lord 
be  with  thee,  as  he  hath  been 
with  my  fatlier.  And  Jonathan 
caused  David  to  swear  again,  be- 
cause he  loved  him:  for  lie  loved 
him  as  he  loved  his  own  soul. 

1  Sam.  xxiv,  21,  22.  Swear  now 
therefore  unto  me  by  the  Lord, 
that  thou  wilt  not  cut  off  my  seed 
after  me,  and  that  thou  wilt  not 
destroy  my  name  out  of  my  fa- 
ther's house.  And  David  sware 
unto  Saul.    And  Saul  went  home; 


but  David  and  his  men  grat  them 
up  unto  tlie  hold. 

1  Sam.  XXX,  15.  And  David  said 
to  him,  Canst  thou  bring  me  down 
to  this  company?  And  he  said. 
Swear  unto  me  by  God,  that  thou 
wilt  neither  kill  me,  nor  deliver 
me  into  the  hands  of  my  master, 
and  I  will  bring  thee  down  to  this 
company. 

2  Sam,,  iii,  35.  And  when  all  the 
people  came  to  cause  David  to  eat 
meat  while  it  was  yet  day,  David 
sware,  saying.  So  do  God  to  me, 
and  more  also,  if  I  taste  bread,  or 
ought  else,  till  the  sun  be  down. 

2  Sam.  iv,  9.  And  David  an- 
swered Rechab  and  Buanah  his 
brother,  the  sons  of  Rimmon  the 
Beerothite,  and  said  unto  them, 
As  the  Loud  liveth,  who  hath 
redeemed  my  soul  oiit  of  all  ad- 
versity. 

2  Sam.  XV,  21.  And  Ittai  an- 
swered the  king,  and  said.  As  the 
Lord  liveth,  and  as  my  lord  the 
king  liveth,  surely  in  what  place 
my  lord  the  king  shall  be, 
whether  in  death  or  life,  even 
there  also  will  thy  servant  be. 

2  Sanu.  xix,  7.  Now  therefore 
arise,  go  forth,  and  speak  cora- 
foitably  unto  thy  servants:  for  I 
swear  by  the  Lord,  if  thou  go  not 
forth,  there  will  not  tuny  one 
with  thee  this  night:  and  that  will 
be  worse  unto  thee  than  all  the 
evil  that  befell  thee  from  thy 
youth  until  now. 

1  Kings  1,  29,  30.  And  the  king 
sware,  and  said.  As  the  L<jrd 
liveth,  that  hath  redeemed  my 
soul  out  of  all  distress,  Even  as  I 
sware  unto  thee  by  the  Lord  God 
of  li-raid.  saying,  Assuredly  Solo- 
mon thy  son  shall  reign  after  me, 
and  he  shall  sit  upon  my  thoue,  in 
my  stead:  even  so  will  I  certainly 
do  this  day. 

1  Kings  ii,  23,  24,  42,  43.  Then 
king  Solomon  sware  by  the  Lord, 
saying,  God  do  so  to  me,  and  more 
also,  if  Adonijah  have  not  spoken 
this  word  against  his  own  life. 
Now  therefore, as  tlie  Lord  livelh, 
wiiich  hath  established  me,  and 
set  me  on  the  throne  of  David  my 
father,  and  who  hath  made  me  an 
house,  as  he  promised  Adonijah, 
shall  be  put  to  death  this  day. 
And  the  king  sent  and  called  for 
Shimei,  ami  said  unto  him.  Did  I 
not  make  theetoswear  bylhe  Lord, 
and  protested  unto  thee,  saying. 
Know  for  a  certain,  on  the  day 
thou  goest  out,  and  walkest 
abroad  any  whither,  that  thou 
Shalt  surely  die?  and  thou  saidst 
unto  me,  Tlie  word  that  1  have 
heard  is  good.  Why  tlien  hast 
thou  not  kept  the  oath  of  the 
Lord,  and  the  commandment  thai 
I  have  charged  thee  with? 

1  Kings  xviii   lO   15.    As  th« 


IjOsd  thy  God  liveth,  there  Is  no 
nation  or  kingdom  wliither  my 
lord  bath  not  sent  to  seek  thee; 
and  when  they  said,  He  is  not 
there,  he  took  an  oath  of  the 
kingdom  and  nation,  that  they 
found  thee  not.  And  Elijah  said, 
As  the  Lord  of  hosts  livetli,  before 
whom  I  stand,  I  will  surely  shew 
myself  unto  him  to-day. 

2  Kings  ii,2.  And  EHjah  Bald

to  Beth-el.  And  Elisha  said  unto

thee.  So  they  went  down  to 
Beth-el.

2  Chron.  xviii,  13,  15.  And 
Micaiah  said,  As  the  Lokd  liveth,

adjure  thee  that  thou  say  nothing 
but  the  truth  to  me  in  the  name 
of  the  Lord?

God  was  upon  the  elders  of  the

came  to  Darius:  and  then  they 
returned  answer  by  letter  con- 
cerning this  matter. 

Neh.  V,  12.  Then  said  they.  We 
will  restore  them,  and  will  re-

while  my  breath  is  in  me,  and  the

My  lips  shall  not  speak  wicked- 
ness, nor  my  tongue  utter  deceit.

declare  it  unto  thee,  wilt  thou  not 
surely  put  me  to  death?  and  if  I 
give  thee  counsel,  wilt  thou  not 
hearken  unto  me?  So  Zedekiah 
the  king  sware  secretly  unto  Jere- 
miah, saying,  As  the  Lord  liveth, 
that  made  us  this  soul,  I  will  not 
put  thee  to  death,  neither  will  I 
give  thee  into  the  hand  of  these 
men  that  seek  thy  life. 

Jer.  xlii,  5.  Then  they  said  to 
Jeremiah  The  Lord  be  a  true  and 
faithful  witness  between  us,  if  we

things  for  the  which  the  Loan  thy 
God  shall  send  thee  to  us.

spake  unto  the  Lord,  when  he 
saw  the  angel  that  smote  the 
people,  and  said,  Lo,  I  have

but  these  sheep,  what  have  they 
done?  let  thine  hand,  I  pray  thee, 
be  against  me,  and  against  my 
father's  house. 

2  Chron.  xxi,  17.  And  David 
said  unto  God,  Is  it  not  L  that 
commanded  the  people  to  be 
numbered?  even  I  it  is  that  have 
sinned  and  done  evil  indeed;  but 
as  for  these  sheep,  what  iiave 
they  done?  Let  thine  hand,  I  pray 
thee,  O  Lord  my  God,  be  on|pe, 
and, on  my  father's  house;  but 
not  on  thy  people,  that  they 
should  be  plagued. 

Job  xxxi,  5-8.  If  I  have  walked 
with  vanity,  or  if  my  foot  hath 
hasted  to  deceit;  Let  me  be  weigli- 
ed  in  an  even  balance,  that  God 
may  know  mine  integrity.  If  my 
step  hath  turned  out  of  tlie  way, 
and  mine  heart  walked  after  mine 
eyes,  and  if  any  blot  hath  cleaved 
to  mine  hands;  Then  let  me  sow, 
and  let  another  eat;  yea,  let  my 
offspring  he  rooted  out.

warcied  evil  unto  lum  that  was  at 
peace  with  me;  (yea,  1  have  de- 
livered him  that  without  cause  is 
mine  enemy;)  Let  the  enemy 
persecute  my  soul,  and  take  it; 
yea,  let  him  tread  down  my  Ufa 
upon  the  earth,  and  lay  mine 
honour  in  the  dust.    Selah.

sel. After  my  words  they  spake 
not  again;  and  my  speech  dropped 
upon  them.  And  they  waited  for 
me  as  for  the  rain;  and  they  opened 
their  mouth  wide  as  for  the  latter 
rain.  // 1  laughed  on  them,  they 
believed  it  not;  and  the  light  of 
my  countenance  they  cast  not 
down.

unto  the  king,  hide  it  not  from  us, 
and  we  will  not  put  thee  to  death;

2  Cor.  xi,  10,  11,  21.  As  the 
truth  of  Christ  is  in  me,  no  man 
shall  stop  me  of  this  boasting  in

reproach,  ns  fliotigh  we  had  been 
weiik.  llovvbeifc,  whereinsoever 
any  is  bold,  (I  sceak  foolishly,)  I 
am  bold  also. 

2  Oor.  vii,  14.  For  if  I  have 
boasted  any  thing  to  him  of  you, 
1  am  not  ashamed;  but  as  we 
Bpake  all  things  to  you  in  truth, 
even  so  our  boasting,  which  1 
made,  before  Titus,  Is  found  a 
truth. 

2  gar.  xi,  1,  16-19.  Would  to 
God  ye  could  bear  with  me  a 
little  in  my  lolly:  and  indeed  bear 
with  me.  I  say  again,  Let  no 
man  think  me  a  fool:  If  otherwise, 
yet  as  a  fool  receive  me,  that  I 
may  boast  myself  a  little.  That 
■which  I  speak,  I  speak  if  not  after 
the  Lord,  but  as  it  were  foolishly. 
In  this  confidence  of  boasting. 
Seeing  that  many  glory  after  the 
flesh,  I  will  glory  also.  For  ye 
Buffer  fools  gladly,  seeing  ye 
yourselves  are  wise. 

2  Cor.  xii,  6.  For  though  I 
would  desire  to  glory,  I  shall  not 
be  a  fool;  for  I  will  say  the  truth: 
but  now  I  forbear,  lest  any  man 
should  think  of  me  above  that 
which  he  seeth  me  to  be,  or  that 
he  heareth  of  me. 

Job  vi,  13.  Is  not  my  help  In 
tne?  and  is  wisdom  driven  quite 
from  me? 

Job  xii,  3.  But  I  have  nnder- 
Bfamlingas  well  as  you;  I  ain  not 
inferior  to  you:  yea,  who  knoweth 
not  such  things  as  these? 

Job  XV,  8,  9.  Hast  thou  heard 
the  secret  of  God?  and  dost  thon 
restrain  wisdom  to  thyself?  What 
knowest  thou,  that  we  know  not? 
what  understandest  thou,  which 
is  not  in  us? 

Fs.  xii,  4.  Who  have  said,  With 
our  tongue  will  we  prevail;  our 
lips  are  our  own:  who  is  lord  over 
us? 

Isa.  xxxvil,  24.  By  thy  servants 
bast  thou  reproached  the  Lord, 
and  hast  said,  By  the  multitude  of 
my  chariots  am  I  come  up  to  the 
heiglit  of  the  mountains,  to  the 
eides  of  Lebanon;  and  I  will  cut 
down  the  tall  cedars  thereof,  a7id 
the  choice  flr-treos  thereof:  and  I 
will  enter  into  the  height  of  his 
border,  and  the  forest  of  his 
Carmel. 

Mockery. 

Ps.  cxxiii,  3,  4.  Have  mercy 
upon  us,  O  Lord,  have  mercy 
upon  us:  for  we  are  exceedingly 
filled  with  contempt.  Our  soul  is 
exceedingly  filled  with  the  scorn- 
ing of  those  that  are  at  ease,  and 
With  the  contempt  of  the  proud. 

Prov.  Ix,  12.  If  thou  be  wise, 
thou  Shalt  be  wise  for  thyself:  but 
if  thou  scoruest,  thou  aloue  shall 
bear  it. 


Prov.  xlv,  6,  9.  A  Bcomer 
seeketh  wisdom,  and  findeth  it 
not:  but  knowledge  is  easy  unto 
him  that  understandeth.  Fools 
make  a  mock  at  sin:  but  among 
the  righteous  there  is  favour. 

Prov.  xix,  25. 29.  Smite  a  scor- 
ner,  and  the  simple  will  beware; 
and  reprove  one  that  hath  under- 
standing, and  he  will  understand 
knowledge.  Judgments  are  pre- 
pared for  scorners,  and  stripes  for 
the  back  of  fools. 
'  Prov.  xxi,  11,  24.  When  the 
sccrner  is  punished,  the  simple  is 
made  wise:  and  when  the  wise  is 
instructed,  lie  receiveth  know- 
ledge. Proud  and  haugtity  scor- 
ner  is  his  name  who  dealeth  ip 
proud  wrath. 

Prov.  xxil,  10.  Cast  out  the 
scorner,  and  contention  shall  go 
out;  yea,  strife  and  reproach  shall 
cease. 

Prov.  xxvi,  18, 19.  As  a  mad  man 
who  casteth  firebrands.arrows  and 
death.  So  is  the  man  t/iat  de- 
ceiveth  his  neighbour,  and  saith, 
Am  not  I  in  sport? 

Prov.  xxix,  8.  Scornful  men 
bring  a  city  into  a  snare:  but  wise 
men  turn  away  wrath. 

Isa.  xxviii,  22.  Now  therefore 
be  ye  not'mockers,  lest  your  bands 
be  made  strong 

Jude  18.  How  that  they  told 
you  there  should  be  mockers  iu 
the.  last  time,  who  should  walk 
after  their  own  ungodly  lusts. 


Neh.  Iv,  2,  3.  And  he  spake  be- 
fore his  brethren  and  the  army  of 
Samaria,  and  said.  What  do  these 
feeble  Jews?  will  they  fortify 
themselves?  will  they  sacrifice? 
will  they  make  an  end  in  a  day? 
will  they  revive  tlie  stones  out  of 
the  heaps  of  the  rubbish  which 
are  burnt?  Now  Tobiah  the 
Ammonite  tvas  by  him,  and  he 
said.  Even  that  which  they  build, 
if  a  fox  go  up,  he  shall  even  break 
down  their  stone  wall. 

Job  xii,  4.  I  am  a«  one  mocked 
of  his  neighbour,  who  calieth 
upon  God,  and  he  answereth  him: 
the  just  upright  man  is  laughed 
to  scurn. 

Job  XXX,  9.  And  now  am  T  their 
song;  yea,  I  am  their  by-word. 

Job  xxxiv,  7.  What  man  is  like 
Job,  who  drinketh  up  scorning 
like  water? 

Ps.  XXXV,  21.  Yea,  they  opened 
their  mouth  wide  against  me,  a7id 
said,  Aha,  Ahal  our  eye  hath  seen 
it. 

Ps.  xliv,  13,  14.  Thou  makest 
us  a  reproach  to  our  neigbbours, 
a  scorn  and  a  derision  to  them 
that  are  round  about  us.  Thou 
makest  us  a  by-word  among  the

heathen,  a  shaking  of  the  head 
among  the  people. 

Ps.  Ixix,  11,  12.  I  made  sack- 
cloth also  my  garment;  and  I  be- 
came a  proverb  to  them.  They 
that  sit  in  the  gate  speak  against 
me;  and  I  was  the  song  of  the 
drunkards. 

Ps.  Ixxiii,  8.  They  are  corrupt, 
and  speak  wickedly  concerning

Ps.  Ixxix,  4.  We  are  become  a 
reproach  to  our  neighbours,  a

Ps.  cxix,  51.  The  proud  have 
had  me  greatly  in  derision;  yet 
have  I  not  declined  from  thy  law. 

Jer.  xlviil,  27.  For  was  not 
Israel  a  derision  unto  thee?  was 
he  found  among  thieves?  lor  since 
thou  spakest  of  him,  thou  skipp- 
edst  for  joy. 

Lam.  ii,  15, 16,  All  that  pass  by 
clap  their  hands  at  thee;  they  hiss 
and  wag  their  head  at  the  daugh- 
ter of  Jerusalem,  saying,  Is  this 
the  city  that  men  call  The  perfec- 
tion of  beauty.  The  joy  of  the 
wliole  earth?  All  thine  enemies 
have  opened  their  mouth  against 
thee:  they  hiss  and  gnash  the 
teeth 

Lam.  ill,  14,  46,  63.  I  was  a  de- 
rision to  all  my  people,  and  their 
song  all  the  day.  All  our  enemies 
have  opened  their  mouth  against 
us.  Behold  their  sitting  down, 
and  their  rising  up;  I  am  their

the  beam  that  Is  in  thine  own

but  if  thou  judge  the  law,  thou  art 
not  a  doer  of  the  law,  but  a  judge. 
There  is  one  lawgiver,  who  is  able 
to  save  and  to  destroy:  who  art

the  name  of  the  Loud  thy  God  in 
Tiln:  fur  the  Loud  will  not  hold

name  in  vain. 

Pa.  cxxxix,  20.    For  they  ispeuk 


against  thee  wickedly,  and  thine 
enemies  take  thy  name  in  vain. 

31atth.  V,  34-37.  But  I  say  unto 
you,  Swear  not  at  all:  neitlier  by 
heaven;  for  it  is  God's  throne: 
Nor  by  the  earth;  for  It  is  his  foot- 
stool: neither  by  Jerusalem;  for  it 
is  the  city  of  the  great  King. 
Neither  shalt  thou  swear  by  thy 
head,  because  thou  canst  not 
make  one  hair  wliite  or  black. 
But  let  your  communication  he, 
Yea,  yea;  Nay,  nay:  for  whatso- 
ever is  more  than  these  cometh 
of  evil. 

James  v,  12.  But  above  all 
things,  my  brethren,  swear  not; 
neither  by  heaven,  neither  by  the 
earth,  neither  by  any  other  oath: 
but  let  your  yea  be  yea;  and  your 
nay.  nay;  lest  ye  fall  into  condem- 
nation. 

Gen.  xlii,  15,  16.  Hereby  ye 
shall  be  proved:  By  the  life  of 
Pharaoh  ye  shall  not  po  forth 
hence,  except  your  youngest 
brother  coTne  hither.  Send  one 
of  you,  and  let  him  fetch  your 
brother,  and  ye  shall  be  kept  in 
prison,  that  your  words  may  be 
proved,  whether  there  he  any 
truth  in  you:  or  else,  by  the  life  of 
Pharaoh,  surely  ye  are  spies. 

Matth.  xxiii,  16-22.  Woe  unto 
you.  ye  blind  guides,  which  say. 
Whosoever  shall  swear  by  the 
temple,  it  is  nothing;  but  whoso- 
ever shall  swear  by  the  gold  of 
the  temple,  he  is  a  debtor!  Ye 
fools,  and  blind!  for  whether  is 
greater,  the  gold,  or  the  temple 
that  sanctfteth  the  gold?  And, 
WhosDever  shall  swear  by  the 
altar,  it  is  nothing;  but  whosoever 
sweareth  by  the  gift  that  is  upon 
it,  he  is  guilty.  Te  fools,  and 
blind!  for  whether  is  greater,  the 
gift,  or  the  altar  that  sanctifleth 
the  gift?  Wlioso  therefore  shall 
swear  by  the  altar,  sweareth  by 
it,  and  by  all  things  thereon. 
And  whoso  shall  swear  by  tlie 
temple,  sweareth  by  It,  and  by 
him  that  dwelleth  therein.  And 
he  that  shall  swear  by  heaven, 
sweareth  by  the  throne  of  God, 
and  by  him  that  sitteth  thereon.

Its  Penalty. 
Jer.  xxiii,  10 Because  of 

SM'earing  the  land  mourneth;  the 
pleasant  places  of  the  wilderness 
are  dried  up,  and  tht-ircouise  is 
evil,  and  their  force  is  not  right. 

Ezek.  xxi,  23.  And  It  shall  be 
unti)  liiein  as  a  false  divination  in 
Mifir  sight,  to  them  that  have 
sworn  oaths;  hut  ho  will  call  to 
remeinbninco  the  iniquity,  that 
they  may  ho  taken. 

Zech.  v,  3.  Then  said  he  unto 
me.  This  U  the  curse  that  guelh

earth:  for  every  one  that  stealeth 
shall  be  cut  off  as  on  this  side, 
according  to  it;  and  every  one 
that  sweareth  shall  be  cut  "off  as 
on  that  side,  according  to  it.

house  of  Jacob,  which  are  called 
by  the  name  of  Israel,  and  are 
come  forth  out  of  the  waters  of 
Judah;  which  swear  by  the  name 
of  the  Lord,  and  make  mention  of 
the  God  of  Israel,  but  not  in  truth, 
nor  in  righteousness. 

Jer.  V,  2.  And  though  they  say. 
The  Loud  liveth,  surely  they 
swear  falsely. 

Eosea  X,  4.  They  have  spoken

Zech.  v,  4.  1  will  bring  it  forth, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  and  it 
shall  enter  into  the  house  of  the 
thief,  and  into  the  house  of  him 
that  sweareth  falsely  by  my  name: 
and  it  shall  remain  in  the  midst 
of  his  house,  and  shall  consume  it, 
with  the  timber  thereof,  and  the 
stones  thereof. 

Zech.  viii,  17.  And  let  none  of 
you  imagine  evil  in  your  hearts

said  unto  the  Lord,  O  my  lord,  I 
am  not  elcquent,  neither  hert^to- 
fore,  nor  since  thou  hast  spoken 
unto  thy  servant:  but  I  am  slow 
ot  speech,  and  of  a  slow  tongue. 
And  the  anger  of  the  Lord  was 
kindled  against  Moses,  and  he 
said.  Is  not  Aaron  the  liOVite  thy 
brothel?  I  know  that  he  can  speak 
well.  And  also,  behold,  he  com- 
eth  forth  to  meet  thee:  and  when 
he  seeth  thee,  he  will  be  glad  in

And  ho  shall  be  thy  spokesman

Satire. 

Judges  v.  21,  29,  30.  The  river 
of  Kislion  swept  them  away,  that 
ancient  river,  the  river  Kishon. 
O  my  soul,  thou  hast  trodden 
down  strength.  Her  wise  ladies 
answered  her,  yea,  she  returned 
answer  to  herself.  Have  they  not 
sped?  have  tliey  not  divided  the 
prey;  to  every  man  a  damsel  or 
two;  to  Sisera  a  prey  of  divers 
colours,  a  prey  of  divers  colours  of 
needle-work,  of  divers  colours  of 
needle-work  on  both  sides,  meet 
for  the  necks  of  them  that  take  the 
spoil? 

Job  iv,  3,  4.  Behold,  thou  hast 
instructed  many,  and  thou  hast 
strengthened  the  weak  hands.

that  was  falling,  and  thou  hast 
Btrengtliened  the  feeble  knees. 

Job  xxvi,  3.  How  hast  thou 
counselled  him  that  hath  no  wis- 
dom? and  hoio  hast  thou  plenti- 
fully declared  the  thing  as  it  Is? 

Job  xl,  7-11.  Gird  up  thy  loins 
now  like  a  man:  I  will  demand  of 
thee,  and  declare  thou  unto  me. 
Wilt  thou  also  disannul  my  judg- 
ment? wilt  thou  condemn  me,  tliat 
thou  mayest  be  righteous?  Must 
thou  an  arm  like  God?  or  canst 
thou  thunder  with  a  voice  lil<e 
him.  Deck  thyself  now  with 
majesty  and  excellency,  and 
array  thyself  with  glory  and 
beauty.  Cast  abroad  the  rage  of 
tliy  wrath;  and  behold  every  one 
that  is  proud,  and  abase  him. 

2  <^or.  xi,  4.  For  if  he  that  com- 
eth  preacheth  another  Jesus, 
whom  we  have  not  preached,  or 
if  ye  receive  anotlier  spirit,  which 
'ye  have  nor,  received,  or  another 
gospel,  which  ye  have  not  ac- 
cepted, ye  might  well  bear  with

Irony. 

1  Kings  xviii,  27.  And  it  came 
to  pass  at  noon,  that  Elijah  mock- 
ed them,  and  said,  Cry  aloud;  for 
he  is  a  god:  either  he  is  talking, 
or  he  is  pursuing,  or  he  is  in  a 
journey,  or  peradventnre  he 
sleepeth,  and  must  be  awaked. 

Job  xli,  2.  No  doubt  but  ye  are 
the  people,  and  wisdom  shall  die 
with  you. 

Job  xl,  12-14.  Look  on  every 
one  that  is  proud,  and  bring  him 
low;  and  tread  down  the  wicked 
in  their  place.  Hide  them  in  the 
dust  togetlier,  and  bind  their 
faces  in  secret.  Then  will  I  also 
confess  unto  thee  that  thine  own 
right  hand  can  save  thee. 

Ezek.  xxviii,  3, 12.  Behold,  thou 
art  wiser  than  Daniel;  there  is  no 
eecrel  that  they  cau  hide  from

Tyrus.  and  say  unto  him,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God;  Thou  sealest 
up  the  sum,  full  of  wisdom,  and 
perfect  in  beauty. 

Climax. 

Rosea  li,  21,  22.  And  It  shall 
come  to  pass  in  that  day,  I  will 
hear,  saith  the  Lord;  I  Mill  hear 
the  heavens,  and  they  shall  hear

hear  the  corn,  and  the  wine,  and 
the  oil;  and  they  shall  hear 
Jezreel. 

Hyperbole. 

Gen.  xili,  16.  And  I  will  make 
thy  seed  as  the  dust  of  the  earth:

seed  also  be  numbered. 

Nahum  ii,  9.  Take  ye  the  spoil 
of  silver,  take  the  spoil  of  gold; 
for  there  is  none  end  of  the  store

bring  upon  thee,  and  upon  thy 
people,  and  upon  thy  father's 
house,  days  that  have  not  come, 
from  the  day  that  Ephraim  de- 
parted from  Judah;  euew  the  king 
of  Assyria. 

Jer.  xii,  5.  If  thou  hast  run  with 
the  footmen,  and  they  have  weari- 
ed thee,  then  how  canst  thou  con- 
tend with  horses?  and  if  in  the 
land  of  peace,  wherein  thou  trust- 
edst,  they  wearied  thee,  then  how 
wilt  thou  do  in  the  swelling  of 
Jordan? 

Jer.  xviil,  13.  Therefore  thus 
saith  the  Lord,  Ask  ye  now 
among  the  heathen,  who  hath 
heard  such  things?  the  virgin  of 
Israel  hath  done  a  very  horrible 
thing. 

Lam.  H,  13.  What  thing  shall 
I  take  to  witness  for  thee?  what 
thing  shall  I  liken  to  thee,  O 
dant;  hter  of  Jerusalem?  what  shall 
I  equal  to  thee,  that  I  may  com- 
fort thee,  O  virgin  daughter  of 
Zion?  for  thy  breach  is  great  like 
the  sea;  who  can  heal  thee? 

Ezek.  v,  9.  And  I  will  do  in  thee 
that  which  I  have  not  done,  and 
whereunto  I  will  not  do  any  more 
the  like,  because  of  all  thine 
abominations. 

Joel  ii,  2.  A  day  of  darkness 
and  of  gloominess,  a  day  of  clouds 
and  of  thick  darkness,  as  the 
morning  spread  upon  the  moun- 
tains: a  great  people  and  a  strong; 
there  hath  not  been  ever  the  like, 
neither  shall  be  any  more  after  it, 
even  to  the  years  of  many  gener- 
ations. 

Micdh  V,  16.  And  I  will  execute

the  scribes  and  Pharisees,  ye  shall 
in  no  case  enter  into  the  kingdom 
of  heaven. 

Matth.  xxlv,  21.  For  then  shall 
be  great  tribulation,  such  as  was 
not  since  the  beginning  ot  the 
world  to  this  time,  no,  nor  ever 
shflU  be. 

Mark  iv,  30.  And  he  said, 
Whereunto  shall  we  liken  the 
kingdom  of  God?  or  with  what 
comparison  shall  we  compare  it? 

Mark  xiil.  19.  For  in  those  days 
shall  be  affliction,  such  as  was  not 
from  the  beginning  of  the  creation, 
which  God  created,  unto  this  time, 
neither  shall  be. 

Metaphor. 
John  xii,  24  Veiily,  verily,  I 
say  unto  you,  Except  a  corn  of 
wheat  fall  into  the  ground  and 
die,  it  abldeth  alone:  but  if  it  die, 
it  briugeth  forth  much  fruit. 

STRIKING  SAYINGS  OP 
SOLOMON. 

Prov.  XXX,  15. 16,  18, 19,  21-21 
.  .  .  .  There  are  three  things  that 
are  never  satisfied,  yea,  four  things 
say  not,  It  is  enough.  The  grave; 
and  the  barren  womb;  the  earth 
that  is  not  filled  with  water,  and 
the  fire  tfiat  saith  not.  It  is  enough. 
There  be  three  things  which  are 
too  wonderful  for  me.  yea,  four 
which  I  know  not:  The  way  of 
an  eagle  in  the  air,  the  way  of  a 
serpent  upon  a  rock,  the  way  of  a 
ship  in  the  midst  of  the  sea,  and 
the  way  of  a  man  with  a  maid. 
For  three  things  the  earth  is  dis- 
quieted, and  for  lour  which  it  can- 
not bear;  For  a  servant  when  he 
reigneth;  and  a  fool  when  he  is 
filled  with  meat;  For  an  odious 
woman  when  she  is  married;  and 
an  handmaid  that  is  heir  to  her 
mistress.  There  be  four  things 
which  are  little  upon  the  earth 
but  they  are  exceeding  wise. 

Eccles.  vii,  27,  28.  Behold,  this 
have  1  found,  (saith  the  Preacher.) 
counting  one  by  one,  to  find  out 
the  account;  Which  yet  my  soul 
seeketh,  but  I  find  not:  one  mau 
among  a  ttiousand  have  I  found; 
but  a  woman  among  all  those 
have  I  not  fuund. 
.  Eccles.  ix,  5.  6.  For  the  living 
know  that  they  shall  die:  bbt  the 
dead  know  not  any  thing,  neither 
have  they  any  more  a  reward;  for 
the  memory  of  them  is  forgotten. 
Also  their  love,  and  their  hatred, 
and  their  envy,  is  now  perished; 
neither  have  they  any  more  a 
portion  for  ever  in  any  thing  that 
is  done  under  the  sun.

Eccles.  X,  15-17.  The  labour  of 
the  toolisli  vvearieth  every  one  of

how  to  go  to  tlie  city.  Woe  to

Child,  and  thy  princes  eat  in  the

nobles,  and  thy  princes  eat  in  due 
season,  for  ^tieugth^  and  not  fur

Eccles.  xii,  1,  2.  Remember  now

youth,  wliile  the  evil  days  come 
not,  nor  the  years  draw  nigh, 
wlien  tliou  Shalt  sny,  I  have  no

Deut.  xxxii,  1.  Give  ear,  O  ye 
heavens,  and  I  will  speak;  and 
hear,  0  eartli,  the  words  of  my 
mouth. 

Jsa.  xlix,  13.  Sing,  O  heavens; 
and  be  joyful,  O  earth;  and  break 
forth  into  singing,  O  mountains: 
for  the  Lord  hath  comforted  his 
people,  and  will  Lave  mercy  upon 
his  afflicted. 

Jer.  iv,  2S.  For  this  shall  the 
earth  mourn,  and  the  heavens 
above  be  black:  because  I  have 
spoken  it,  I  have  purposed  it,  and 
will  not  repent,  neither  will  I  turn 
back  from  it. 

The  Earth. 
Ps.  cxiv,  7.  Tremble,  thou  earth, 
at  tlie  presence  of  the  Lord,  at  the 
preseiice.of  the  God  of  Jacob. 

Ezek.  vi,  2,  3.  Son  of  man,  set 
thy  face  toward  the  mountains  of 
■  Israel  and  prophesy  against  them, 
And  say,  Ye  monutains  of  Israel, 
hear  the  word  of  the  Lord  God; 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  to  the 
mountains  and  to  the  hills,  to  the 
rivers  and  to  the  valley.s,  Behold, 
I,  even  I,  will  bring  a  sword  upon 
you,  and  I  will  destroy  your  high 
places. 

Ezelc.  xxxvl,  1,  4,  12--15.  Also, 
thou  son  of  man,  propliesy  unto 
the  mountains  of  Isratl,  and  say. 
Ye  mountains  of  Israel,  hear  the 
Word  ol  tlie  Loed.  Tiierelore,  ye 
mountains  of  Israel,  hear  the 
word  ot  the  Lord  Goo;  Thus  saiili 
the  Lord  (Jon  to  the  mountains, 
and  to  the  hills,  to  the  rivers,  and 
to  the  valleys,  to  the  desolate' 
wastes*  and  to  the  cities  that  are 
forsiUen,  which  became  a  prey 
and  derision  lo  the  residue  ot  the 
heathen  that  are  round  about. 
Yea,  1  will  cau.se  men  to  walk 
npon  you,  even  my  people  Israel; 
and  they  shall  pos,<ess  thee,  and 
thou  Shalt  be  their  inheritance. 
and  thou  shult  no  more  hence- 


forth bereave  them  of  men.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God,  Because  they 
say  unto  you.  Thou  land  devour- 
est  up  men.  and  hast  bereaved  thy 
nations;  Therefore  thou  shalt  de- 
vour men  no  more,  neither  be- 
reave thy  nations  any  more,  saith 
the  Lord  (ion.  Neither  will  I 
cause  men  to  hear  in  -.thee  the 
shame  of  the  heathen  any  more, 
neither  shalt  thou  bear  the  re- 
proach of  the  people  any  more, 
neither  shalt  thou  cause  thy  na- 
tions to  tall  any  more,  saith  the 
Lord  God. 

Micah  vi,  1,  2.  Hear  ye  now 
what  the  Lord  saith;  Arise,  con- 
tend thou  before  the  mountains, 
and  let  the  hills  hear  thy  voire. 
Hear  ye,  O  mountains,  the  Lord's 
controversy,  and  ye  strong  foun- 
dations of  the  earth:  for  the  Lord 
hath  a  controversy  with  his  people, 
and  he  will  plead  with  Israel. 

God  Taking  an  Oath. 

Heb.  vi,  13, 14, 17.  For  when  God 
made  pronjise  to  Abraham,  be- 
cause he  could  swear  by  no 
greater,  he  sware  by  himself. 
Saying,  Surely  blessing  I  will 
bless  thee,  and  multiplying  I  will 
multiply  thee.  Wherein  God, 
willing  more  abundantly  to  shew 
unto  the  heirs  of  promise  the 
immutability  of  his  counsel,  con- 
firmed it  by  an  oath.

the  vvood  8ii>g  out  at  the  presi-nce 
of  the  Lord,  because  he  cometh  to 
judge  the  earth. 

Ps.  Ixxvii,  16.  The  waters  saw 
thee,  O  God,  the  waters  saw  thee; 
they  were  afraid:  the  depths  also 
were  troubled. 

Ps.  xcvi.  10-12.  Say  among  the 
heathen,  that  the  Lord  reigneth: 
the  world  also  shall  be  established, 
that  it  shall  not  be  moved:  he 
shall  judge  the  people  righteously. 
Let  the  heavens  rejoice,  and  let 
the  earth  be  glad;  let  the  sea  roar, 
and  the  fulness  thereof.  Let  the 
field  be  joyful,  and  all  that  is 
therein:  then  shall  all  the  trees  of 
the  wood  rejoice. 

Ps.  xcviii,7-9.  Let  the  sea  roar, 
and  the  fulness  thereof;  the  world, 
and  they  that  dwell  therein:  Let 
the  floods  clap  ^//eir  hands:  let  the

Isa.  xliv,  23.  Sing,  O  ye  hea- 
vens; for  the  Lord  hath  done  it: 
shout,  ye  lower  parts  of  the  earth:

GRACES, 

Ps.  Ixxxv,  10-13.    Mercy  and 

truth  are  met  together,  righteous- 


ness  and  peace  have  kissed  each  i 
other.  Truth  shall  spring  out  of 
the  earth;  and  righteousness  shall 
look  down  from  heaven.  Yea,  tlie 
Lord  shall  give  that  which  is 
good;  and  our  land  sliall  yield  her 
Increase.  Righteousness  shall  so

I  the  LoKo  have  created  it.

cannot  enter.

■wickedness :  none  of  them  shall

them:  And  thev  were  all  filled 
with  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  began 
to  speak  with  other  tongues,  as 
the  Spirit  gave  them  utterance. 

1  Cor.  xlv,  4,  22-25.  He  that 
gpeaketh  in  an  unknown  tongue 
edifleth  himself;  but  he  that  pro- 
phesieth  edilletli  the  church. 
Wherefore  tongues  are  for  a  sign, 
not  to  them  that  believe,  but  to 
them  that  believe  not:  but  pro- 
phesying serveth  not  for  them  that 
believe  not,  but  for  them  which 
believe.  If  therefore  the  whole 
church  be  come  together  into  one 
place,  and  all  speak  with  tongues, 
and  tliere  come  in  those  that  are 
unlearned,  or  unbelievers,  will 
they  not  say  that  ye  are  mad? 
But  if  all  prophesy,  and  there 
come  in  one  that  believeth  not,  or 
one  unlearned,  he  is  convinced  of 
all,  he  is  judged  of  all:  And  thus 
ave  the  secrets  of  his  heart  made 
manifest:  and  so  falling  down  on 
his  face  he  will  worsliip  God,  and 
report  that  God  ia  iu  jou  of  a 
truth.

THEM. 

1  Cor.  xlv,  2,  5  6, 9. 13  14, 16-19. 
26-28,39.  For  he  that  speaketh  in 
an  unknoion  tongue  speaketh  not 
unto  men,  but  unto  (ioil:  for  no 
man  understandeth  hhn;  howbeit 
in  the  spirit  he  epeaketh  mys- 
teries. 1  would  that  ye  all  spake 
with  tongues,  but  rather  that  ye 
prophesied:  for  greater  is  ha  that 
prophesleth  than  he  that  speaketh 
with  tongues,  except  he  interpret, 
that  the  church  may  receive  edi- 
liiug.  Kow,  brethren,  if  i  come 
67d 


tinlo  yon  ispeaklng  w!(h  tonpmes, 
what  shall  1  profit  you,  except  I 
shall  speak  to  you  either  by  reve- 
lation, or  by  knowledge,  or  by 
prophesying,  or  by  doctrine?  So 
likewise  ye,  except  ye  utter  by 
the  tongue  words  easy  to  be  un- 
derstood, how  shall  it  be  known 
what  is  spoken?  for  ye  shall  speak 
into  the  air.  Wherefore  let  him 
that  speaketh  in  an  unkoion 
tongue  pray  that  he  may  interpret. 
For  if  I  pray  in  an  unknown 
tongue,  my  spirit  prayeth,  but  my 
understanding  is  unfruitful.  Else, 
when  thou  shalt  bless  with  the 
spirit,  how  shall  he  that  occupieth 
the  room  of  the  unlearned  say 
Amen  at  thy  giving  of  thanks, 
seeing  he  understandeth  not  what 
thou  sayest?  For  thou  verily 
givest  thanks  well,  but  the  other 
is  not  edified.  I  thank  my  God,  I 
speak  with  tongues  more  than  ye 
ail:  Yet  in  the  ciiurch  I  had  rather 
speak  five  words  with  my  under* 
standing,  that  by  my  voice  I  might 
teach  others  also,  than  ten  thou- 
sand words  in  an  unknown  tongue. 
How  is  it  then,  brethren?  wlu  n  ye 
come  together,  every  one  of  you 
hath  a  psalm,  hath  a  doctrine, 
hath  a  tongue,  hath  a  revelation, 
hath  an  interpretation.  Let  all 
thingsbe  done  unto  edifying.  Ifany 
man  speak  in  an  unknown  tongue, 
let  it  be  by  two,  or  at  the  most  by 
three,  and  that  by  course;  and  let 
<me  interpret.  But  if  there  be  no 
interpreter,  let  him  keep  silence 
in  the  church;  and  let  him  speak 
to  himself,  and  to  God.  Where, 
fore,  brethren,  covet  to  prophesy, 
and  forbid  not  to  ispeak  witb 
tooiiuea.

also  in  that  which  is  to  come.

The  Lord  rebuke  thee,

against  which  thou  hast  had  in- 
dignation these  tlireescore  and

But  one  in  a  certain  place  testified, 
saying.  What  is  man,  that  thou 
art  mindful  of  him?  or  the  son  of 
man,  that  thou  visitest  him?  Thou 
madest  him  a  little  lower  tlian  the

glory  and  honour,  and  didst  set

said,  1  will  not  drive  them  out 
from  before  you;  but  they  shall 
be  as  thorns  in  your  sides,  and 
their  gods  shall  be  a  snare  unto 
you.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when

ceive, and  bear  a  sou.  And  the 
an!?el  of  the  Lord  said  unto  him. 
Why  askest  thou  thus  after  my 
name,  seeing  it  is  secret?  So 
Manoah  took  a  kid  with  a  meat-

about  the  time  of  the  evening 
oblation.  And  he  informed  me, 
and  talked  with  me,  and  said,  O 
Daniel,  I  am  now  come  forth  to 
give  thee  skill  and  understand- 
ing. At  the  beginning  of  thy 
supplications  the  commandment 
came  forth,  and  I  am  come  to 
shew  thee;  for  thou  art  greatly 
beloved:  therefore  understand  the 
matter,  and  consider  the  vision.

Gal.  iii,  19.  Wherefore  then 
serveth  the  law?  It  was  added 
because  of  transgressions,  till  the

ordained  by  angels  in  the  hand  of 
a  mediator.

and  now  will  I  return  to  ttght

further,  and  stood  In  a  narrow 
place,  where  was  no  way  to  lura

angel  of  the  Lord,  slie  fell  down 
underBalaam:  an  i  Balaam's  auger 
was  kindled,  and  he  smote  the

to  withstand  thee,  because  thy 
way  is  perverse  before  me:  Aud 
the  ass  saw  me,  and  turned  from 
me  these  three  times:  unless  she

her  alive.

said  unto  him  [Gideon],  If  now  I 
have  found  grace  in  tliy  sight, 
then  shew  me  a  sign  tliat  thou 
tallvest  with  me.  Depart  not 
hence,  I  pray  thee,  until  I  come 
unto  thee,  and  bring  forth  my 
present,  and  set  it  before  thee. 
And  he  said,  1  will  tarry  until 
thou  come  again.  And  the  angel 
of  God  said  unto  him,  Take  tlie 
flesh  and  the  unleavened  cakes, 
and  lay  them  upon  this  rock,  and 
pour  out  the  broth.  And  he  did 
8o.  Then  the  angel  of  the  Lokd 
put  forth  the  end  of  the  staff  that 
was  in  his  hand,  and  touched  the 
flesh  and  tlie  unleavened  cakes; 
and  there  rose  up  fire  out  of  the 
rock,  and  consumed  the  flesh  and

2  Kings  vi,  16, 17.  And  he  an- 
swered, Fear  not:  for  they  that  be 
with  us  are  more  than  they  that 
be  with  them.  And  Elislia  prayed, 
and  said,  Loud,  I  pray  thee,  open 
his  eyes,  that  he  may  see.  And 
the  LcBi)  opened  the  eyes  of  the 
young  man;  and  he  saw:  and,  be- 
hold, the  mountain  was  full  of 
horses  and  chariots  of  fire  round 
about  Elisha. 

Ezek.  i,  4-25,  28.  And  I  looked, 
and,  beliold,  a  whirlwind  came 
out  of  the  north,  a  great  cluud, 
and  a  fire  infolding  itself,  and  a 
briglitness  was  about  it,  and  out 
of  the  midst  thereof  as  the  colour 
of  amber,  out  of  the  midst  ol  the 
fire:  Also  out  of  the  midst  thereof 
came  the  likeness  of  four  living 
creatures.  And  this  was  tlieir 
appearance;  tliey  had  the  likeness 
of  a  man.  And  every  one  h  id 
four taces, and  everyone  had  four 
wing-i.      And     their    feet    were 


fept  was  like  the  sole  of  a  calf's 
foot:  and  they  sparkled  like  the 
colour  of  burnished  brass.    And 
theij  had  the  hands  of  a  man  xmder 
their  wings  on  their  four  sides; 
and  they  four  had  their  faces  and 
their  wings.     Their  wings  were 
joined  one  to  another;  they  turned 
not  when  tiiey  went;  they  went 
every  one  straight  forward.    As 
for  the  likeness  of  their  faces,  they 
four  had  the  face  of  a  man  and 
the  face  of  a  lion  on  the  right  side; 
and  they  four  had  the  face  of  an 
ox  on  the  left  side;  they  four  also 
had  the  lace  of  an  eagle.    Thus 
icere  their  faces:  and  their  wings 
were  stretched  upward;  two  wings 
of  every  one  were  joined  one  to 
another,  and  two  covered  their 
bodies.  And  they  went  every  one 
straight    forward:    whither    the 
spirit  was  to  go,  they  went;  and 
they  turned  not  when  they  went. 
As  for  the  likeness  of  the  living 
creatures,  their  appearance  toas 
like  burning  coals  of  fire,  and  like 
tlie  appearance  of  lamps:  it  went 
up  and  down  among  the  living 
creatures;  and  the  fire  was  bright, 
and   out  of  the  fire  went  forth 
lightning.    And  the  living  crea- 
tures ran  and  returned  as  the  ap- 
pearance of  a  flash  of  lightning. 
Now,  as  I  beheld  the  living  crea- 
tures, behold  one  wheel  upon  the 
earth  by  the  living  creatures,  with 
Ills  four  faces.  The  appearance  of 
tlie  wheels  and  their  work  loas 
like  unto  the  colour  of  a  beryl; 
and  they  four  had  one  likeness: 
and  tlieir  appearance  and  their 
work  was  as  it  were  a  wheel  in 
tlie  middle  of  a  wheel.     Wlien 
they  went,  they  went  upon  their 
four  sid(  s;  and  they  turned  not 
when  they  went.     As  for  their 
rings,  they  were  so  high  that  they 
were  dreadful;    and    their  rings 
were  full  of  eyes   round  about 
them  four.    And  when  the  living 
creatures  went,  the  wheels  went 
by  them;  and  when  the  living 
creatures  were  lifted  up  from  tlie 
earth,  the  wheels  were  lifted  up. 
Whithersoever  the  spirit  was  to 
go,  they  went,  thither  was  their 
spirit  to  go;  and  the  wheels  were 
lilted  up  over  against  them:  for 
the  spirit  of  the  living  creature 
loas  in  the  wheels.    When  those 
Went,  these  went;  and  when  those 
stood,  ^Aes6  stood;  and  when  those 
were  lilted  up  from  the  earth,  the 
wheels  were  lified  up  over  against 
them:  for  the  spirit  of  the  living 
er.'ature  was  in  the  wheels.    And 
tliO  likeness  of  the  firmament  upon 
tae  heads  of  the  living  creature 
was  as  the  colour  of  the  terrible 
crystal,  stretched  forth  ovei  their 
heads  above.    And  under  the  ttr- 
ixiamenl  loere  their  wings  straight, 
he  one  toward  the  other:  every 
>ne  had  two,  which  covered  on 
tids  side,  and  every  one  had  two, 


Btraiijht  feel;  and  the  sole  of  their    wnich  covered  on  that  side,  their 


bodies.  And  when  they  went,  I 
heard  the  noise  of  their  wings, 
like  the  noise  of  great  waters,  as 
the  voice  of  the  Almighty,  the 
voice  of  speech,  as  the  noise  of  an 
host:  when  they  stood,  they  let 
down  their  wings.  And  there  was 
a  voice  from  the  firmament  that 
was  over  their  heads,  when  they 
stood,  and  had  let  down  their 
wings.  As  the  appearance  of  the 
bow  that  is  in  the  cloud  in  the 
day  of  rain,  so  roas  the  appear- 
ance of  the  brightness  round 
about.  This  was  the  appearance 
of  the  likeness  of  the  glory  of  the 
Lord.  And  when  I  saw  it,  I  fell 
upon  my  face,  and  I  heard  a  voice 
of  one  that  spake. 

Ezek.  ill,  13.  /  heard  also  the 
noise  of  the  wings  of  the  Uving 
creatures  that  touched  one  an- 
other, and  the  noise  of  the  wheels 
over  against  them,  and  a  noise 
of  a  great  rushing. 

Ezek.  ix,  1-3.  He  cried  also  in 
mine  ears  with  a  loud  voice,  say-

over  the  city  to  draw  near,  even 
every  man  with  his  destroying 
weapon  in  his  hand.  And,  be- 
hold, six  men  came  from  the  way 
of  the  higher  gate,  whicn  lietU 
toward  the  north,  and  every  man 
a  slaughter-weapon  in  his  hand; 
and  one  man  among  them  was 
clothed  with  linen,  with  a  writer's 
ink-horn  by  his  side:  and  they 
went  in,  and  stood  beside  the 
brasen  altar.  And  the  glory  of 
the  God  of  Israel  was  gone  up 
from  the  cherub,  whereupon  he 
was,  to  the  threshold  of  the  house: 
and  he  called  to  the  man  clothed 
witli  linen,  which  hxid  the  writer's 
inkhorn  by  his  side. 

Ezek.  X,  1-22.  Then  I  looked, 
and,  behold,  in  the  firmament  that 
loas  above  the  head  of  the  che- 
rubims  there  appeared  over  tliem 
as  it  were  a  sapphire-stone,  as  the 
appearance  of  the  likeness  of  a 
tlirone.  And  he  spake  unto  the 
man  clothed  with  linen,  and  said, 
Go  in  between  the  wheels,  even 
under  the  cherub,  and  fill  thine 
hand  with  coals  of  fire  from  be- 
tween the  cherubims,  and  scatter 
them  over  the  city.  And  he  went 
in  in  my  sight.  Now  the  che- 
rubims stood  on  the  right  side  of 
the  house  when  the  man  went  in; 
and  the  cloud  filled  the  inner 
court.  Then  the  glory  of  the 
Lord  went  up  from  the  cherub, 
and  stood  over  the  threshold  of 
the  house;  and  the  house  was 
filled  with  the  cloud,  and  the 
court  was  full  of  the  brightness  of 
the  Lord's  glory.  And  the  sound 
of  the  cherubims'  wings  was  heard 
even  to  the  outer  court,  as  the 
voice  of  the  Almighty  God  when 
he  speaketh.  And  it  came  to  pass, 
that  when  he  had  commanded  the 
man  clothed  with  linen,  saying,

from  between  the  clierubims;  then 
he  went  in,  and  stood  beside  the 
wheels.  And  one  cherub  stretclied 
forth  his  hand  from  between  the 
cherubinis  unto  the  fire  that  icas 
between  the  cherubims,  and  took 
thereof,  and  put  it  into  the  hands 
ofhimthatvms  clothed  with  linen; 
V'ho  took  it,  and  went  out.  And 
there  appeared  in  the  cherubims 
the  form  of  a  man's  hand  under 
their  wings.  And  when  1  looked, 
behold  the  four  wheels  by  the 
clierubims,  one  wheel  by  one  che- 
rub, and  another  wheel  by  an- 
other cherub:  and  the  appearance 
of  the  wheels  was  as  the  colour  of 
a  beryl-stone.  And  as  for  their 
appearances,  they  four  had  one 
likeness,  as  if  a  wheel  had  been  in 
the  mMst  of  a  wheel.  When  they 
went,  they  went  upon  their  four 
sides;  they  turned  not  as  they 
went,  but  to  the  place  whither 
the  head  looked  they  followed  it; 
they  turned  not  as  they  went. 
And  their  whole  body,  and  their 
backs,  and  their  hands,  and  their 
wings,  and  the  wheels,  zt-'ere  full 
of  eyes  round  about,  even  the 
^'heels  that  they  four  had.  As  lor

them  in  my  hearing',  O  wheel  I 
And  every  one  had  four  faces:  the 
first  face  was  the  face  of  a  cherub, 
and  the  second  face  was  the  face 
of  a  man,  and  the  third  the  face 
of  a  lion,  and  the  fourth  the  face 
of  an  eagle.  And  the  cherubims 
were  lilted  up.  This  is  the  living 
creature  that  I  saw  by  the  river 
of  Chebar.  And  when  the  che- 
rubims went,  the  wheels  went  by 
them;  and  when  the  cherubims 
lifted  up  their  wings  to  mount  up 
from  tlie  earth,  tiie  same  wheels 
also  turned  not  from  be>ide  them. 
When  tliojr  stood,  these  stood  ;

and  mounted  up  fri.m  the  earth 
in  my  siglit:  wlien  they  went  out, 
the  wheels  also  were  beside  them; 
and  every  owe  stood  at  the  doorot 
the  east  gate  ot  the  I^okd's  house; 
and  the  glory  of  the  God  of  Israel 
was  over  them  above.  This  is  the 
living  creature  that  I  saw  under 
the  God  of  Israel  by  the  river  of 
Ciiebar;  and  I  knew  that  they 
were  the  cherubims.  Every  one

one  lour  wings;  and  the  likeness

measuring  reed;  and  he  stood  in 
the  gate.

like  unto  crystal:  and  in  the  midst 
ot  the  throne,  and  round  about  the 
throne,  were  four  beasts  full  of 
eyes  before  and  behind.  And  the 
first  beast  tfas  like  a  lion,  and  the 
second  beast  like  a  calf,  and  the 
third  beast  had  a  face  as  a  man, 
and  the  fourth  beast  was  like  a 
flying  eagle.

was  left  alone ;  and  there  wrestled 
a  man  with  him  until  the  break- 
ing of  the  day.  And  when  he  saw 
that  he  prevailed  not  against  him, 
he  touched  the  hollow  of  his  thigh; 
and  the  hollow  of  Jacob's  thigU 
was  out  of  joint  as  he  wrestled 
with  him.  And  he  said  unto  him, 
What  is  thy  name  ?  And  he  said, 
Jacob.  And  he  said,  T)iy  name 
shall  be  called  no  more  Jacob,  but 
Israel:  for  as  a  prince  hast  thou 
power  with  God  and  witli  men, 
and  hast  prevailed.  And  Jacob 
asked  him,  and  said.  Tell  me,  I 
pray  thee,  thy  name.  And  he 
said,  Wherefore  is  it  that  thou 
dost  ask  after  my  name ?  And  he 
blessed  him  there.

a  bush;  and  he  looked,  and,  be- 
hold, the  bush  burned  with  fire, 
and  the  bush  was  not  consumed. 
And  Moses  said,  I  will  now  turn 
aside,  and  see  this  great  sight,  why 
the  Lush  is  not  burnt.    And  when 


the  Lord  saw  that  he  turned  aside 
to  see,  God  called  unto  him  out  of 
the  midst  of  the  bush,  and  said, 
Moses,  Moses.  And  he  said,  Here 
am  I. 

Exod.  xxiii,  20-22.  Behold,  I 
send  an  Angel  before  thee,  to  keep 
thee  in  the  way,  and  to  bring  thee 
into  the  place  which  I  have  pre- 
pared. Beware  of  him,  and  obey 
his  voice,  provoke  him  not;  for  he 
will  not  pardon  your  transgres- 
sions :  for  my  name  is  in  him.  But 
if  thou  Shalt  indeed  obey  his  voice, 
and  do  all  that  I  speak;  then  I  will 
be  an  enemy  unto  thine  enemies, 
and  an  adversary  unto  thine  ad-

and,  behold,  there  stood  a  man 
over  against  him,  with  his  sword

Judges  \\,\2-\Q.  And  the  angel 
of  the  Lord  appeared  unto  him, 
[Gideon]  and  said  unto  him,  Tlie 
LOED  is  with  th&e,  thou  miglity 
man  of  valour.  And  Gideon  said 
unto  him,  Oh  my  Lord,  if  the  Loud 
be  with  us,  wliy  then  is  all  tliis 
befallen  us?  and  where  be  all  his 
miracles  which  our  fatliers  told  us 
of,  saying.  Did  not  the  Lord  bring 
us  up  from  Egypt?  but  now  the 
Lo«D  hath  forsaken  us,  and  de- 
livered us  into  the  hands  of  the 
Midianites.  And  the  Lokd  looked 
upon  him,  and  said,  Go  iu  this  thy 
might,  and  thou  slialt  save  Israel 
fvom  the  hand  of  the  Midianites: 
have  not  I  sent  thee?  And  he 
said  unto  him,  Oil  my  Lord, where- 
with shall  1  save  Israel?  beliold, 
my  family  is  poor  in  Manasseli, 
and  1  am  the  least  in  my  fatlier's 
house.  And  the  Loiiu  said  unto 
him.  Surely  I  Avill  be  with  thee, 
and  thou  Shalt  smite  the  Midian- 
ites as  one  man. 

JtLdges  xiii,  17,  21-23.  And 
Manoali  said  unto  the  angel  of

angel  of  tlio  Lokd  did  no  more 
appear  to  Manoah  and  to  his  wife.) 
Tlien  Manoah  knew  that  he  was 
an  angel  of  the  Loud.  And  Manoah 
said  unto  his  wife.  We  shall  surely 
die,  because  we  have  seen  God. 
But  ills  wi.e  said  unto  liim.  If  the 
LoBu  were  pleased  to  kill  us,  he 
would  not  have  received  a  burnt- 
ollering  and  a  meat-offering  at  our 
hands;  neither  would  he  have 
shewed  us  all  these  things;  nor

us  such  things  as  these.

Acts  vii,30-32  38  39,53.  And  when 
forty  years  were  expired,  there 
appeared  to  him,  in  the  wilderness 
of  Mount  Sina,  an  angel  of  the 
Lord  in  a  flame  of  fire  in  a  bush. 
When  Moses  saw  it,  he  wondered 
at  the  sl.!>  ht :  and  as  he  drew  near 
to  behold  it,  the  voice  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  him,  Saying,  I  ara  the 
God  of  thy  fathers,  the  God  of 
Abraliam,  and  the  God  of  Isaac, 
and  the  God  of  Jacob.  Then 
Moses  trembled,  and  durst  not  be- 
hold. This  is  be  that  was  in  the 
church  in  the  wilderness  with  the 
angel  which  spake  to  him  in  the 
mount  Sina,  and  with  our  fatliers; 
who  received  the  lively  oracles  to 
give  unto  us ;  to  whom  our  fathers 
would  not  obey,  but  thrust  him 
Irora  them,  and  in  their  hearts 
turned  back  again  into  Egypt,  who 
have  received  the  law  by  the  dis- 
position of  fjiigels,  and  have  not 
kept  it.

Judges  vi,  22,  23.     And  when 
Gideon  perceived  that  he  was  an 
angel  of  the  Lord,  Gideon  said, 
Alas,  O  Lord  God!   for  because 
I  have  seen  an  angel  of  the  Lord 
face  to  face.    And  the  Lord  said 
tinto  him.  Peace  be  unto  thee;  fear

not  go  before  it  to  enquire  of  God: 
for  he  was  afraid  because  of  the 
sword  of  the  angel  of  the  Lobd. 

Dan.  vlii,  17.  So  he  came  near 
where  I  stood :  and  when  he  came, 
I  was  afraid,  and  fell  upon  my  face: 
but  he  said  unto  me,  Understand, 

0  son  of  man;  for  at  the  time  of 
the  end  shall  be  tlie  vision. 

Dan.  X,  7-9,  15-17,  19.  And  I 
Daniel  alone  saw  the  vision:  for 
,^.he  mep  that  were  with  me  saw 
not  the  visi(/n;  but  a  great  quak- 
ing fell  upon  them,  so  that  they 
fled  to  hide  themselves.  There- 
fore I  was  left  alctoe,  and  saw  this 
great  vision,  and  there  remained 
no  strength  in  me:  for  my  come- 
liness was  turned  in  me  into  cor- 
ruption, and  I  retained  no 
Btrength.  Yet  heard  I  the  voice 
of  his  words:  and  when  I  heard 
the  voice  of  his  words,  then  was 

1  in  a  deep  sleep  on  my  face,  and 
my  face  toward  the  ground. 
And  when  he  had  spoken  such 
words  unto  me,  I  set  my  face  to- 
ward the  ground,  and  I  became 
dumb.  And,  behold,  one  like  the 
Bimilitnde  of  the  sons  of  men 
touched  my  lips:  then  I  opened 
my  mouth,  and  spake,  and  said 
unto  him  that  stood  before  me, 
O  my  lord,  by  the  vision  my  Bor- 


rows are  turned  upon  me,  and  I 
have  retained  no  strength.  For 
how  can  the  servant  of  this  ray 
lord  talk  with  this  my  lord?  for 
as  for  me,  straightway  there  re- 
mained no  strength  in  me,  neither 
is  tliere  breath  left  in  me.  And 
said,  O  man  greatly  beloved,  fear 
not:  peace  be  unto  thee;  be  strong, 
yea,  be  strong.  And  when  he 
had  spoken  unto  me,  I  was 
strengthened,  and  said,  Let  my

ANGELS  IN  DISGUISE. 

Num.  xxii,  34.  And  Balaam  said 
unto  the  angel  of  the  Lord,  I  have 
sinned;  for  I  knew  not  that  thou 
stoodest  in  the  way  against  me: 
now  therefore,  if  it  displease  thee, 
I  will  get  me  back  again. 

Judges  xiii,  15, 16.  And  Manoah 
said  unto  the  angel  of  the  Lord, 
I  prfy  thee,  let  us  detain  thee, 
until  we  shall  have  made  ready  a 
kid  for  thee.  And  the  angel  of 
the  LOBo    said    unto    Manoah. 


Though  thou  detain  me,T  win  not 
eat  of  thy  bread;  and  if  thou  wilt 
offer  a  burntoflering,  thou  must 
offer  it  unto  the  Lord:  for  Manoah 
knew  not  that  he  was  an  angel  of 
the  LoRo. 

Acts  xli,  8,  9.  And  the  angel 
said  unto  him,  Gird  thyself,  and 
bind  on  thy  sandals.  And  so  he 
did.  And  he  saith  unto  him.  Cast 
thy  garment  about  thee,  and 
follow  me.  And  he  went  out,  and 
followed  him;  and  wist  not  that 
it  was  true  which  was  done  by 
the  angel;  but  thought  he  saw  a 
vision.

DEVILS. 

'  Gen.  iii,  14.  And  the  Lord  God , 
said  unto  the  serpent,  Because 
thou  hast  done  this,  thou  art 
cursed  above  all  cattle,  and  above 
every  beast  of  the  field;  upon  thy 
belly  Shalt  thou  go,  and  dust  shalt 
thou  eat  all  the  days  of  thy  life. 

Job  11,  1,  2.  Again  there  was  a 
day  when  the  sons  of  God  came 
to  present  themselves  before  the 
Lord,  and  Satan  came  also  among 
them,  to  present  himself  before 
the  Lord.  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  Satan,  From  whence  comest 
thou?  And  Satan  answered  the 
Lord,  and  said.  From  going  to 
and  fro  in  the  earth,  and  from 
walking  up  and  down  in  it. 

Ilatth.  xii,  26,  27,  29.  And  if 
Satan  cast  out  Satan,  he  is  divided 
against  himsell;  how  shall  then  his 
kingdom  stand?  And  if  I  by 
Beelzebub  cast  out  devils,  by 
whom  do  your  children  cast  them 
out?  therefore  they  shall  be  your 
judges.  Or  else,  how  can  one 
enter  into  a  strong  man's  house, 
and  spoil  his  goods,  except  he 
first  bind  the  strong  man?  and 
then  he  will  spoil  his  house. 

3Iark  iii,  23.  26.  And  he  called 
them  unto  him,  and  said  unto 
them  in  parables,  How  can  Satan 
cast  out  Satan?  And  if  Satan  rise 
up  against  himself,  and  be  divided, 
he  cannot  stand,  but  hath  an  end. 

2  Feter  ii,  4.  For  if  God  spared 
not  the  angels  that  sinned,  but 
cast  them  down  to  hell,  and 
delivered  them  into  chains  of  dark- 
ness, to  be  reserved  unto  judg-

Jude  6.  And  the  angels  which

CHARACTER. 

2  Chron.  xviii,  19-22.  And  the 
Loud  said.  Who  shall  entice  Ahab 
king  of  Israel,  that  he  may  go  up 
and  fall  at  Ramoth-gilead?  And 
one  spake  saying  alter  tliis  man- 
ner, and  another  «aying  after  that 
maimer.  Then  there  came  out  a 
spirit,  and  stood  before  the  I^ord, 
and  said,  I  will  entice  him.  And 
the  Lord  said  unto  him,  Where- 
with? And  he  said,  1  will  go  out, 
and  be  a  lying  spirit  in  the  moiitli 
of  all  liis  propliets.  Ami  the  LOUD 
saiil,  Tliou  Shalt  entice  him,  and 
thou  slialt  also  prevail:  go  out, 
and  do  even  so.  Now  therelore, 
beholl,  the  Lord  hath  put  a  lying

,  spoiiea  evil  against  thee.

the  world;  tlie  good  seed  are  the 
children  of  the  kingdom;  but  tlie 
tares  are  the  cldldren  ot  the 
wiclved  one;  The  enemy  tliat 
Bowed  them  is  the  devil;  the  har- 
vest is  the  end  of  the  world;  and 
the  reapers  are  the  angels. 

John  vili,  44.  Ye  are  of  your 
fatlier  the  devil,  and  the  lusts  of 
your  father  ye  will  do:  he  was 
a  murd(;rer  from  the  beginning, 
and  abode  not  in  the  truth,  be- 
cause there  is  no  truth  In  him. 
Wtien  he  speaketh  alie,  hespeak-

the  father  of  it.

child  of  the  devil,  thou  enemy  of 
all  rigliteousness,  wilt  thou  .not 
cease  to  pervert  the  right  ways  of 
the  Lord? 


2  Cor.  xl,  14,  15.  And  no  mar- 
vel; for  Satan  himself  is  trans- 
formed into  an  angel  of  light. 
Tlierefore  it  is  no  great  thing  if

as  the  ministers  of  rigliteousness; 
whose  end  shall  be  according  to 
their  works.

speaketh  expressly,  that  in  tlie

James  II,  19.  Thou  helievest 
that  there  is  one  God,  tliou  doest 
well;  the  devils  also  believe  and 
tremble.

descendeth  not  from  above,  but  is 
earthly,  sensual,  devilish. 

''  Bev.  ii,  9.  I  know  thy  works, 
and  tribulation,  and  poverty,  (but 
thou  art  rich,)  and  1  know  the 
blasphemy  of  them  wliicli  say 
they  are  Jews,  and  are  not,  but 
are  the  synagogue  of  Satan. 

Bev.  Hi,  9.  Behold,  I  will  make 
them  of  the  synagogue  of  Satan,

not,  but  do  lie.        .    .    .

wfis  a  good  way  oil  from  them  an 
herd  of  many  swine  feeding.  So 
the  devils  besought  him,  saying. 
If  thou  cast  us  out,  suffer  us  to  go 
away  into  the  herd  of  swine. 
And  he  said  unto  them,  Go.  And 
when  they  were  come  out,  they 
went  into  the  herd  of  swine;  and, 
behold,  the  whole  herd  of  swine 
ran  violently  down  a  steep  place 
into  the  sea,  and  perished  in  the 
waters.  And  they  that  kept  them 
fled,  and  went  their  ways  into  the 
city,  and  told  every  thing,  and

things  which  thou  shalt  snffn-: 
behold,  the  devil  shall  cast  some

arose  a  smoke  out  of  the  pit,  as 
the  smoke  of  a  great  furnace;  and 
the  sun  and  the  air  wire  darkened 
by  reason  of  the  smoke  of  the  pit.

accuser  of  our  brethren  is  cast 
down,  which  accused  them  before 
our  God  day  and  night.  And  they

destroy  the  works  of  the  devil.

sea!  fur  the  devil  is  come  down 
unto  you.  having  great  wr.ith, 
because  he  knowtth  that  he  hath

WORSHIP  PAID  TO  THEM. 

Lev.  xvil,  7.  And  they  shall  no 
more  offer  their  sacrifices  unto 
devils,  after  whom  they  have  gone 
a  whoring, .... 

Deut.  xxxii,  17.  They  sacrificed 
unto  devils,  not  to  God;  to  gi>ds

that  came  newly  up,  whom  your 
lathers  feared  not. 

2  Chron.  xi.  15.  And  he  ordained 
him  priests  for  the  high  places,  and 
for  the  devils,  and  for  tlie  calves 
whlcli  he  had  made.

Ihen?  that  the  idol  is  any  thing? 
or  that  which  is  offered  in  sacrifice 
to  idols  is  any  thing?  But  I  sof/, 
tliat  the  things  wliicli  the  Gentiles 
sacrifice,  they  sacrifice  to  devils, 
and  not  to  God:  and  I  would  not 
that  ye  should  have  fellowsldp 
with  devils.  Ye  cannot  drink  the 
cup  of  tlio  Lord,  and  the  cup  of 
devils:  ye  cannot  be  partakers  of 
the  Lord's  table,  and  of  the  table 
of  devils. 

Rev.  ix,  20.  And  the  rest  of  the 
men,  which  were  not  killed  by 
these  plagues,  yet  repented  not  of 
the  works  of  their  hands,  that  they 
should  not  worship  devils. .  .  , 

Rev.  xiii,  4,  14,  15.  And  they 
worshipped  tho  dragon  which 
gave  power  unto  the  beast:  and 
they  worshipped  the  beast,  saj* 
ing,  Who  is  like  unto  the  beast? 
who  is  able  to  make  war  with 
him?  And  deceiveth  them  that 
dwell  on  the  earth  by  the  means 
of  those  miracles  which  he  had 
power  to  do  in  the  sight  of 
the  beast;  saying  to  them  that 
dwell  on  the  earth,  that  they 
should  make  an  image  to  the 
beast  which  had  the  wound  by  a 
sword,  and  did  live.  And  he  had 
power  to  give  life  unto  the  image 
of  the  beast,  that  the  image  of  the 
beast  should  both  speak,  and  cause 
that  as  many  as  would  not  wor- 
ship the  image  o(  the  beast  should 
be  killed. 

DEMONIACAL   POSSESSIONS. 
{See  also  under  MIRACLES.) 
Matt,  xii,  43  45.    When  the  un- 
clean spirit  is  gone  out  of  a  man^ 


he  wall?eth  through  dry  places, 
seeking  rest,  and  fludelh  none. 
Then  lie  saith,  I  will  return  Into 
my  house  from  whence  I  came 
out;  and  when  he  is  come,  he  flnd- 
etli  it  empty,  swept.and  garnished. 
Then  goeth  he,  and  taketh  with 
himself  seven  other  spirits  more 
wicked  than  himself,  and  tliey 
enter  in  and  dwell  there:  and  the 
last  state  of  that  man  is  worse 
than  the  first.  Even  so  shall  It  be 
also  unto  this  wicked  generation. 

Luke  viii,  27.  And  when  he 
went  forth  to  land,  tliere  met  him 
out  of  the  city  a  certain  man, which 
had  devils  long  time,  and  ware  no 
clothes,  neither  abode  in  any 
bouse,  but  in  the  tombs, 

Luke  ix,  49,  50.  And  John  an- 
swered and  said,  Master,  we  sa\y 
one  casting  out  devils  in  th  y  name: 
and  we  forbade  him,  because  he 
foUoweth  not  with  us.  And  Jesus 
said  unto  him.  Forbid  hiin  not ; 
for  he  that  is  not  ai^ainst  us  is  for 
us. 

Ltike  xl,  18,  20.  If  Satan  also  b3 
divided  against  himself,  how  shall 
his  kingdom  stand?  because  y» 
say  that  I  cast  out  devils  through 
Beelzebub.  But  if  1  with  the  fin- 
ger of  God  cast  out  devils,  no 
doubt  the  kingdom  of  God  is  come 
upon  you. 

Apocalyptic  Symbols. 

Rev.  xii,  3,  4, 15-17.  And  there 
appeared  another  wonder  in  hea- 
ven; and  behold  a  great  red  dragon, 
having  seven  heailsand  ten  horns, 
and  seven  crowns  upon  his  heads. 
And  his  tail  drew  the  third  part 
of  the  stars  of  heaven,  and  did  cast 
them  to  the  earth:  and  the  dragon 
stood  before  the  woman  which 
was  ready  to  be  delivered,  for 
to  devour  her  child  as  soon  as 
it  was  born.  And  the  serpent 
cast  out  of  his  mouth  water  as  a 
flood  after  the  wcmun,  that  he 
might  cause  her  to  be  carried  away 
of  the  flood.  And  t  he  earth  helped 
the  woman:  and  the  earth  opened 
her  mouth,  and  swallowed  up  the 
flood  which  the  dragon  cast  out 
of  his  mouth.  And  the  dragon 
was  wroth  with  the  woman,  and 
went  to  make  war  with  the  rem- 
nant of  her  seed,  which  keep  the 
commandments  of  (iod,  and  have 
tlie  testimony  of  Jesus  Christ. 

Rev.  xW,  11.  And  I  beheld 
another  beast  coming  up  out  ol 
the  earth;  and  he  had  two  horna 
like  a  lamb,  and  he  spake  as  a 
dragon. 

Rev.  xvi,  13.  And  I  saw  three 
unclean  spirits  like  frogs  cvme  out 
of  the  mouth  of  the  dragon,  and

of  God  when  he  was  about  to 
make  the  tabernacle :  for.  See, 
Baith  he,  that  thou  make  all  things 
according  to  the  pattern  shewed

When  ye  see  tlie  ark  of  the  cove-

tlien  ye  shall  remove  from  your 
place,  and  go  after  it:  Yet  there 
shall  be  a  space  between  you  and 
it,  about  two  thousand  cubits  by 
measure:  come  not  near  unto  it; 
that  ye  may  know  the  way  by 
which  ye  must  go:  for  ye  have 
n-jt  passed  this  way  heretofore. 
And  Joshua  spake  unto  the 
priests,  saying,  Talie  up  the  ark 
of  the  covenant,  and  pass  over 
before  the  people.  And  they  took 
up  the  ark  or  the  covenant,  and 
went  before  the  people.  And 
thou  Shalt  command  the  priests 
that  bear  the  ark  of  the  covenant, 
saying,  When  ye  are  come  to  the 
brink  of  the  water  of  Jordan,  ye 
shall  stand  still  in  Jordan.  Be- 
hold, the  ark  of  the  covenant  of 
the  Lord  of  all  the  earth  passeth 
over  before  you  into  Jordan.

And  Joshua  rose  early  in  the 
morning,  and  the  priests  took  up 
the  ark  of  the  Lord. 

1  Sam.  Iv,  8-6.  And  when  the

covenant  of  the  Loud  came  into 
the  camp,  all  Israel  shouted  with 
a  great  shout,  so  that  the  earth 
rang  again.  And  when  the  Pliil- 
istiiies  heard  the  noise  of  the 
shout,  they  said,  What  meaneth 
the  noise  of  this  great  shout  in  tiie 
camp  of  the  Hebrews?  And  they 
understood  that  the  ark  of  the 
Loud  was  come  into  the  camp.

the  way-side  watching:  for  his 
heart  trembled  for  the  ark  of  God. 
And  when  tlie  man  came  into  the 
city,  and  told  it,  all  the  city  cried 
out.  And  the  messinger  answered 
and  said.  Israel  is  fled  before  tlie

said,  The  glory  is  departed  from 
Israel;  for  the  ark  of  God  is  taken. 

1  Sam.  V,  1,  2.  And  the  Phili- 
stines took  the  ark  of  God,  and 
br.  ught  it  from  Ebenezer  unto 
Ashdod.  When  the  Pliilistines 
took  the  ark  of  God,  they  brought 
it  into  the  house  of  Dagon,  and 
set  it  by  Dagon. 

1  Sam.  vi,  1, 13.  And  the  ark  of 
the  Lord  was  in  the  country  of 
the  Pliilistines  seven  months.  And 
they  of  lieth-shemesh  were  reap- 
ing their  wheat  harvest  in  the 
valley:  and  they  lifted  up  their 
eyes,  and  saw  the  ark,  and  re- 
joiced to  see  it. 

But  soon  sent  Back. 
1  Sam.  vi,  2-4,7, 11,14-16,21,  And 
the  Philistines  calledfoi  tlie  priests 
and  thediviner8,saying,What  shall 
wedo  tothearkof  the  Lord? tell  us 
■wherewith  we  shall  send  it  to  his 
place.  And  they  said,  If  ye  send 
away  the  ark  of  the  God  of  Israel, 
sent  It  not  empty;  but  in  any  wise 
return  him  a  trespass-offering: 
then  ye  shall  be  healed,  and  it 
shall  be  known  to  you  why  his 
hand  Is  not  removed  from  you. 
Then  said  they,  What  shall  be  the 
trespass-offering  which  we  shall 
return  to  him?  They  answered, 
Five  golden  emerods,  and  five 
golden  mice,  according  to  thd 
Dumber  of  the  lords  of  the  Phili- 
pUues:  for  one  plague  was  on  you 


all,  and  on  your  lords.  Now  there- 
fore make  a  new  cart,  and  take 
two  milch-kine,  on  wliich  there 
hath  come  no  yoke,  and  tie  the 
kine  to  the  cart,  and  bring  their 
calves  home  from  them:  And  take 
the  ark  of  the  Lord,  and  lay  It 
upon  the  cart;  and  put  the  jewels 
of  gold,  which  ye  return  him /or 
a  trespass-ofl'ering,  in  a  cofft-r  by 
the  side  thereof;  and  send  it  away, 
that  it  may  go.  And  see,  if  it 
goeth  up  by  the  way  of  his  own 
coast  to  Beth-shemesh,  then  he 
hath  done  :U8  this  great  evil:  but 
if  not,  theu  we  shall  know  that  it 
is  not  his  hand  that  smote  us;  it 
v-as  a  chance  that  happened  to  us. 
And  the  men  did  so:  and  took  two 
milch  kine,  and  tied  them  to  the 
cart,  and  shut  up  their  calves  at 
home:  And  they  laid  the  ark  of 
the  Lord  upon  the  cart,  and  the 
coffer  with  the  mice  of  gold  and 
the  images  of  their  emerods.  And 
the  cart  came  into  the  field  of 
Joshua, a  Beth-shemite,  and  stood 
there,  where  there  teas  a  great 
stone:  and  they  clave  the  wood  of 
the  cart,  and  offered  the  kine  a 
burnt-offering  unto  tlie  Lord. 
And  the  Levites  took  down  the 
ark  of  the  Lord,  and  the  coffer 
that  was  with  it,  wherein  the 
jewels  of  gold  were,  and  put  them 
on  the  great  stone:  and  the  men 
of  Beth-shemesh  offered  btirnt-of- 
firings,  and  sacrificed  sacrifices, 
the  same  day  unto  the  Lord.  And 
when  the  five  lords  of  the  Pliili- 
stines had  seen  it,  they  returned 
to  Ekron  the  same  day.  And  they 
sent  messengers  to  the  inhabitants 
ol  Kiijath-jearim,  saying,  The  Phi- 
listines have  brought  again  the 
ark  of  theLoRD;  come  ye  down, 
and  fetch  it  up  to  you.

1  Sam.  vii,  1.  And  the  men  of 
Kirjath-jearim  came,  and  fetched 
up  the  ark  of  the  Lord,  and 
brought  it  into  the  house  of  Abina- 
dab  in  the  hill,  and  sanctified 
Eleazar  his  son  to  keep  the  ark  of 
the  Lord. 

2  Sam.  vi,  1-4,  9-13, 15.  Again, 
David  gathered  together  all  the 
chosen  men  of  Israel,  thirty  lliou-

with  all  the  people  ih&lwere  with 
him  from  Baale  of  Judah,to  bring 
up  from  thence  the  ark  of  God, 
whose  name  is  called  by  the  name 
of  the  LoRu  of  hosts,  that  dwell- 
eth between  the  cherubims.  And 
tiiey  set  the  ark  of  God  upon  a 
new  cart,  and  brought  it  out  of 
the  house  of  Abinadab  that  was 
in  Gibeah:  and  Uzzah  and  Ahio, 
the  sons  of  Abinadab,  drave  the 
new  cart.  And  they  brought  it 
out  of  the  house  of  Abinadab, 
V.  hich  loasui  Gibeah,  accompany- 
ing the  ark  of  God;  and  Ahio  went 


I  before  the  ark.  And  D.ivli  vra? 
afraid  of  the  Lord  that  day,  and 
said,  How  ^hall  the  ark  of  tho 
Loud  come  to  me?  So  David  would 
not  remove  tlie  ark  of  the  Loro 
unto  him  into  the  ci  y  of  Davlrl; 
but  David  carried  it  aside  into  the 
house  of  Ohed-edom  the  Gittite. 
And  the  ark  of  the  Lord  con- 
tinued in  the  house  of  Obed-edom 
the  Gittite  three  nioutlis:  and  the 
Lord  blessed  Ohed-edom,  and  all 
his  household.  And  it  was  told 
king  David,  saying,  The  Lord 
hath  blessed  the  house  of  Obed- 
edum,  and  all  that  pertaineih  unto 
him,  because  of  tlie  ark  of  God. 
So  David  went  and  brought  up 
the  ark  of  God  from  the  house  of 
Obed-edom  into  the  city  of  David 
witli  gladness.  And  it  was  so, 
tliat,  when  they  that  bare  the  ark 
of  the  Lord  had  gone  six  paces, 
he  sacrificed  o.ven  andfitlings.  So 
David  and  all  the  house  of  Israel 
brought  up  the  ark  of  the  Lord 
with  shouting,  and  with  the  sound 
of  the  trumpet. 

1  Sam.  vii,  2.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  while  the  ark  abode  in  Kir- 
jath-jearim, tliat  the  time  was 
long;  for  it  was  twenty  years:  and 
all  the  house  of  Israel  lamented 
after  the  Lord.

nant of  God:  and  they  set  down 
the  ark  of  God;  and  Abiathar 
went  up,  until  all  the  people  had 
done  passing  out  of  the  diy.  And 
the  king  said  unto  Zadok,  Carry 
back  the  ark  of  God  into  the  city: 
if  1  shall  find  favour  in  the  eye3 
of  the  Lord,  he  will  bring  me 
again,  and  show  me  both  it  and 
his  habitation. 

1  Kings  il,  26,  And  unto  Abia- 
thar the  priest  said  the  king,  Get 
thee  to  Anathoth,  unto  thine  own 
fiehis;  tor  thou  art  worthy  of 
death:  but  I  will  not  at  this  time 
put  thee  to  death,  because  thou 
barest  the  ark  of  the  Lord  God 
before  David  my  fattier,  and  be-

carried  the  ark  of  God  in  a  new 
cart  out  of  the  house  of  Abinadab: 
and  Uzza  and  Ahio  drave  tho 
cart.  And  David  was  afraid  of 
God  that  day,  saying,  How  shall  I 
bring  the  ark  of  God  fiome  to  me? 
So  David  brought  not  the  ark 
home  to  himself  to  the  city  of 
David,  but  carried  it  aside  into  the 
house  of  Obed-euom  the  Gittite. 
And  the  ark  of  God  remain-

In  his  house  three  months.  And 
the  IjOrd  blessed  the  house 
of  Obed-edom,  and  all  that  he 
Lad. 

1  Chron.  xv.  2-4, 25, 2R,  28.  Then 
David  said,  None  ought  to  carry

for  them  hath  the  Ijoed  chosen  to 
carry  the  ark  of  God,  and  to  mi-

David  gathered  all  Israel  together 
to  Jorusilem,  to  bring  up  the  ark 
of  the  Loud  unto  his  place,  which 
he  had  prepared  for  it.  And  Da-

offered  seven  bullocks  and  seven

Lord  before  him  with  our  burnt- 
ortrtrings.  and  with  our  sacrifices, 
and  with  our  peace-offerings;  that 
your  children  may  not  say  to  our 
children  in  time  to  come.  Ye  have 
no  part  in  the  Lord.  Therefore 
said  we,  that  it  shall  be,  when 
they  should  so  say  to  us,  or  to  our 
generations  in  time  to  come,  that 
we  may  say  again,  Behold  the 
pattern  of  the  altar  of  the  Lord, 
which  our  fathers  made,  not  for 
burnt-offerings,  nor  for  sacrifices; 
but  it  is  a  witness  between  us  and 
you.  God  forbid  that  we  should 
rebel  against  the  Lopd,  and  turn 
this  day  from  following  the  Lord, 
to  build  an  altar  for  burnt-oller- 
ings,  for  meat-offerings,  or  for 
sacrifices,  besides  the  altar  of  the 
Lord  our  God,  that  is  before  his 
tabernacle.

thereof,  and  put  in  the  bars  there- 
of, and  reared  up  his  pillars.  And 
he  spread  abroad  ttie  tent  over 
the  tabernacle,  and  put  the  cover- 
ing of  the  tent  above  upon  it;  as 
the  LoBu  commanded  Moses. 

Num.  X,  11, 12.  And  it  came  to 
pass  on  the  twentieth  day  of  the 
second  month,  in  the  second  year, 
that  tlie  cloud  was  taken  up  from 
offthe  tabernacle  of  the  testimony. 
And  the  children  of  Israel  took 
their  journeys  out  of  the  wilder- 
ness ot  Sinai;  and  the  cloud  rested 
in  the  wilderness  ot  Paran. 

At  Giloal. 

Josh.  V,  10,  11.  And  the  children 
of  Israel  encamped  in  Gilgai,  and 
kept  the  passover  on  the  four- 
teenth day  of  the  month  at  even 
in  the  plains  of  Jericho.  And 
they  did  eat  of  the  old  corn  of  tlie 
land  on  the  morrow  after  the  pass- 
over,  unleavened  cakes  and 
parched  corn  in  the  self-same 
day. 

At  Shiloh. 

Josh,  xviii,  1.  And  the  whole 
congiegation  of  the  children  of 
Israel  assembled  together  at 
Sliiloh,  and  set  up  tlie  tabernacle 
ol  the  congregation  there:  and  the 
land  was  subdued  before  them. 

At  Nob. 

1  Sam.  xxi,  1,  6.     Then  came 

David  to  Nob  to  Ahimelech  the 

priest... 8o  the  priest  gave  him 


hallowed  bread:  for  there  was  no 
bread  there  but  the  show  bread. 

And,  Finally,  at  Gibeok. 
1  Chron.  xvi,  39.  And  Zadok 
the  priest,  and  his  bretliren  the

II.-TEMPLE. 

1.— DAVID'S  INTENTION  TO 

BUILD  THE  TEMPLE, 

2  Sam.  vii,  1-3,  5-7.  And  it 
came  to  pass,  when  the  king  sat 
in  his  house,  and  the  Lord  had 
given  him  rest  round  about  from 
all  his  enemies,  That  the  king 
said  unto  Nathan  the  prophet, 
See  now,  I  dwell  in  an  house  of 
cedar,  but  the  ark  of  God  dvvelleth 
within  curtains.  And  Nathan  said 
to  the  king,  Go,  do  all  that  is 
in  thine  heart;  for  the  Loud  is 
with  thee.  Go  and  tell  my  servant 
David,  Thus  saith  the  Lord, Shalt 
thou  build  me  an  house  for  me  to 
dwell  in?  Whereas  I  have  not 
dwelt  in  any  house  since  the  time 
that  I  brouglit  up  the  children  of 
Israel  out  of  Egypt,  even  to  this 
day,  but  have  walked  in  a  tent 
and  in  a  tabernacle.  In  all  the 
places  wherein  I  have  walked 
with  all  the  children  of  Israel 
epake  I  a  word  with  any  of  the 
tribes  of  Israel,  whom  1  command- 
ed to  feed  my  people  Israel,  6ay« 
ing,  "Why  build  ye  not  me  an 
house  of  cedar? 

1  Kings  viii,  16-18.  Since  the 
day  thai  I  brought  forth  my  peo- 
ple Israel  out  of  Egypt,  1  chose 
no  city  out  of  all  the  tribes  of  Is- 
rael to  build  an  house,  that  my 
name  might  be  tlierein;  but  I 
chose  David  to  be  over  my  people 
Israel.  And  it  was  in  the  heart 
of  David  my  fatlier  to  build  an 
house  for  the  name  of  the  Lord 
(iod  of  Israel.  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  Davi  i  my  father.  Whereas  it 
was  in  thine  heart  to  build  an 
house  unto  my  name,  thou  didat 
well  that  it  was  in  thine  heart. 

1  Chron.  xxii,  5,  7.  And  David 
said,  Solomon  my  son  is  young 
and  tender,  and  the  house  that  is 
to  be  builded  for  the  Lord  must 
be  exceeding  magnifical,  of  laine 
and  of  glory  throughout  all 
countries :  I  will  therefore  now 
make  preparation  for  it.  So  David 
prepared  almndantly  before  his 
death.  And  David  said  to  Solo- 
mon, My  son,  as  for  me,  it  was  in 
my  mind  to  build  an  house  unto 
the  name  ot  the  Lord  mv  God. 

1  Chron.\xs]\\,2,?.  Then  David 


TABERNACLE-TEMPLB. 


the  king  stood  np  npon  his  feet, 

and  said.  Hear  me,  my  brethren, 
and  my  people:  As  for  me,  I  had 
in  mine  heart  to  build  an  house 
of  rest  for  the  sirli  of  the  covenant 
of  the  Loud,  and  for  the  footstool 
of  our  God.  and  had  made  ready 
for  the  building:  But  God  said 
unto  me,  Thou  shalt  not  build  an 
house  for  my  name,  because  thou 
hast  been  a  man  of  war,  and  hast 
shed  blood. 

5J  vnron.  vi,  7,  8.  Now,  It  was 
In  the  heart  of  David  my  father  to 
build  an  house  for  the  name  of 
the  LoKD  God  of  Israel:  But  the 
Lord  said  to  David  my  father, 
Forasmuch  as  it  was  in  thine  heart 
to  build  an  house  for  my  name, 
thou  didst  well  in  that  it  was  in 
thine  heart. 

PREPARATION  MADE  BY 

HIM  FOR  IT. 
1  Chron.  xxii,  6, 11, 16-19.  Then 

he  called  for  Solomon  his  son,  and 
and  charged  him  to  build  an 
house  for  the  Loud  God  of  Israel, 
Now,  my  son,  the  Lokd  be  with 
thee;  and  prosper  thou,  and  build 
the  house  of  the  Lord  thy  God, 
as  he  hath  said  of  thee.  Of  the 
gold,  the  silver,  and  the  brass, 
and  the  iron,  there  is  no  number. 
Arise  therefore,  and  be  doing, 
and  the  Lord  be  with  thee. 
David  also  commanded  all  the 
princes  of  Israel  to  help  Solomon 
Lis  son,  saying,  Is  not  the  Lord 
your  God  with  you?  and  liath  he 
not  given  you  rest  on  every  side? 
for  he  hath  given  the  inhabitants 
of  the  land  into  mine  hand ;  and 
the  land  is  8ub<lued  before  the 
Lord,  and  before  his  people.  Now 
set  your  heart  and  your  soul  to 
seek  the  Lord  your  God ,  arise 
therefore,  and  build  ye  the  sanc- 
tuary of  the  LoBu  God,  to  bring 
the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord,  and  the  holy  vessels  of  God, 
into  the  house  that  is  to  be  built 
to  the  name  of  the  Lord, 

1  Chron.  xxviii,  10-12,  19,  20. 
Take  heed  now;  f  r  the  Lord  hath 
chosen  thee  to  build  an  house  for 
the  sanctuary:  be  Btiong,  and  do 
U.  Then  David  gave  to  Solomon 
his  son  the  pattern  of  the  porch, 
and  of  the  houses  thereof,  and  of 
the  treasuries  thereof,  and  of  the 
tipper  chambers  tliereof,  and  of 
the  Inner  pa'  lours  thereof,  and  of 
the  place  of  the  mercy-seat,  And 
the  pattern  of  all  that  he  had  by 
the  Spirit,  of  the  courts  of  the 
house  of  the  l^or-D,  and  of  all  the 
chambers  round  about,  of  the 
treasuries  ot  the  house  of  God, 
and  of  the  treasuries  of  the  dedi- 
cated tilings.  All  this,  said  David, 
the  LoHU  niaile  me  understand  in 
writing  by  hts  hand  upon  me, 
even  all  the  works  of  this  pattern. 
ioui  0<vvid  oaid  to  Solomun  Lis 


I  son.  Be  strong,  and  of  good 
'  courage,  and  do  it:  fear  not,  nor 

be  dismayed  :  for  the  Lord  God, 

even  my  God,  toill  be  with  thee; 
'  he  will  not  fail  thee,  nor  forsake 

thee,  until  thou  hast  finished  all 
[  the  work  for  the  service  of  the 

house  of  the  Lord. 

BUILT  BY  SOLOMON. 
i  1  Kings  v,  2-5,  17,  18.  And  So- 
j  lonion  sent  to  Hiram,  saying, 
'  Thou  knowest  how  that  David  my 
father  could  not  build  an  house 
unto  the  name  of  the  Lord  his 
j  God,  for  the  wars  which  were 
!  about  hira  on  every  side,  until  the 
LoKi>  put  them  under  the  soles  of 
his  feet.  But  now  the  Lord  my 
God  hath  given  me  rest  on  every 
side,  so  that  there  is  neither  ad- 
versary nor  evil  occurrent.  And, 
behold,  I  purpose  to  build  an 
house  unto  the  name  of  the  Lord 
my  God,  as  the  Lord  spake  unto 
David  my  father,  saying.  Thy  son, 
whom  I  will  set  upon  thy  throne 
in  thy  room,  he  shall  build  an 
house  unto  my  name.  And  the 
king  commanded.and  they  brought 
great  stones,  costly  stones,  and 
hewed  stones,  to  lay  the  founda- 
tion of  the  house.  And  Solomon's 
builders  and  Hiram's  builders  did 
hew  them,  and  the  stone-squarers: 
so  they  prepared  timber  and 
stones  to  build  the  house. 

1  Kings  vi,  14.  So  Solomon 
built  the  house,  and  finished  it. 

1  Chron.  xvil,  11,  12.  And  it 
shall  come  to  pass,  when  thy  days 
be  expired  that  thou  must  go  to  be 
with  thy  fathers,  that  I  will  raise 
up  thy  seed  after  thee,  which 
shall  be  of  thy  sons;  and  I  will 
establish  his  kingdom.  He  shall 
build  me  an  house,  and  1  will 
stablish  his  throne  for  ever. 

1  Chron.  xxii,  9, 10.  Behold,  a 
son  .shall  be  born  to  thee,  who 
shall  be  a  man  of  rest;  and  I  will 
give  him  rest  from  all  his  enemies 
round  about:  for  his  name  shall 
be  Solomon,  and  I  will  give  peace 
and  quietnt  ss  unto  Israel  in  his 
days.  He  shall  build  an  house  for 
my  name;  and  he  shall  be  my  son, 
and  I  will  be  his  father;  and  I  will 
establish  the  throne  of  his  king- 
dom over  Israel  for  ever. 

1  <;!hron.  xxviii,  6.  And  he  said 
unto  me,  Solomon  thy  son,  he 
shall  build  my  house  and  my 
courts:  fori  have  chosen  him  to  be 
my  son,  and  I  will  be  his  father. 

2  Chron.  il,  1,  4.  And  Solomon 
determined  to  build  an  house  for 
the  name  of  the  Lord,  and  an 
house  for  his  kingdom.  Behold,  I 
build  an  house  to  the  name  of  the 
Lord  my  God,  to  dedicate  it  to 

i  him,  and  to  burn  before  him  sweet 
incense,    and    for    the    continual 
shew-bread,  and  for  the  burnt-of- 
ferings morning  and  evening,  on 
fl08 


the  sabbaths,  and  on  the  new- 
moons,  and  on  the  solemn  feasts 
of  the  Lord  our  God.  This  is  an 
ordinance  for  ever  to  Israel. 

2  Chron  vi.  9, 10.  Notwithstand- 
ing thou  Shalt  not  build  i  he  house; 
but  thy  son,  which  shall  come 
forth  out  of  thy  loins,  he  shall 
build  the  house  for  my  name. 
The  Lord  therefore  hath  per- 
formed his  word  that  he  hath 
spoken;  for  I  am  risen  up  in  the 
room  of  David  my  father,  and  am 
set  on  the  throne  of  Israel,  as  the 
Lord  promised,  and  have  built 
the  house  for  the  name  of  the 
Lord  God  of  Israel. 

2  Chron.  vli.  11.  Thus  Solomon 
finished  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
and  the  king's  house:  and  all  that 
came  into  Solomon's  heart  to 
make  in  the  house  of  the.  Lord, 
and  in  his  own  house,  he  prosper- 
ously effLiCted. 

Acts  vli,  46-43.  Who  [David] 
found  favour  before  God,  and  de- 
sired to  find  a  tabernacle  fur  the 
God  of  Jacob.  But  Solomon 
built  hira  an  house.  Howbeit 
the  most  High  dwelleth  not  la 
temples  made  with  Lands;  aa 
saith  the  prophet. 

ITS  ERECTION. 

1  Kings  vi,  1,  7,  37.  38.  And  It 
came  to  pass,  in  the  four  hundred 
and  eightieth  year  after  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  were  come  out  of 
the  land  of  Egypt,  in  the  fourth 
year  of  Solomon's  reign  over 
Israel,  in  the  month  Zif,  which  is 
the  second  month,  that  he  began 
to  build  the  house  of  the  Lord. 
And  the  house,  when  it  was  in 
building,  was  built  of  stone  made 
ready  before  it  was  brought 
thither:  so  that  there  was  neither 
hammer  nor  ax  nor  any  tool  of 
iron  heard  in  the  house  while  it 
was  in  building.  In  the  f)Urth 
year  was  the  foundation  of  the 
house,  of  the  Lord  laid,  in  the 
month  Zif:  And  in  the  eleventh 
year,  in  the  month  Bui,  which  is 
the  eighth  month,  was  the  house 
finished  throughout  all  the  parts 
thereof,  and  according  to  all  the 
fashion  of  it.  So  was  he  seven 
years  in  building  it. 

2  Chron.  ill,  2.  A^  he  began  to 
build  in  the  second  day  of  the 
second  month,  in  the  fourth  year 
of  his  reign. 

2  Chron.  vlll,  16.  Now  all  the 
Work  of  Solomon  was  prepared 
unto  the  d  ly  of  the  foundation  of 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  until  it 
was  finished:  so  the  house  of  the 
Lord  was  perfected. 

ITS  SITE. 
1  Qhron.  xxi,   28.  At  that  time, 
when  David  saw  that  the  Lord 
Lad  answered  Lim  in  the  thresh- 


rnsr-floor  oT  Oman  the  JebQsIte, 
then  he  sacrificed  there. 

1  Ghron.  xxii,  1.  Then  David 
Bald,  This  is  the  house  of  the 
Lord  God,  and  this  is  the  altar  of 
the  burnt-offering  for  Israel. 

2  Chron.  iil,  1.  Then  Solomon 
beiran  to  build  the  house  of  the 
Lord  at  Jerusiilem  in  mount 
Moriah,  where  the  LORD  appear- 
ed unto  David  his  father,  in  tlie 
place  that  David  had  prepared  in 
the  threshing-floor  of  Oman  the 
Jtibusite. 

2  CTiron.  xx,  8.  And  they  dwelt 
therein,  and  have  built  thee  a 
sanctuary  therein  for  thy  name, 
Baying. 

Ps.  Ixviil,  16.  Why  leap  ye,  ye 
high  hills?  this  is  the  hill  which 
God  desireth  to  dwell  in;  yea,  the 
Lord  will  dwell  in  it  for  ever. 

Ps.  Ixxvi,  1,  2.  In  Jndah  is  God 
known;  his  name  is  great  in 
Israel,  In  Salem  also  is  his  taber- 
nacle, and. his  dwelling-place  iu 
Zion. 

Fs.  IxxvlH,  67-69.  Moreover,  he 
refused  the  tabernacle  of  Joseph, 
and  chose  not  the  tribe  of  Eph- 
raira;  But  chose  the  tribe  of  Judah, 
the  mount  Zion,  which  he  loved. 
And  he  built  his  sanctuary  like 
high  palaces,  like  the  earth  which 
Le  hath  established  for  ever. 

Ps.  cxxxii,  6.  Lo,  we  heard  of  i* 
at  Ephratali;  we  found  it  in  the 
fields  of  the  wood. 

Ezekiel  xli,  8.  I  saw  also  the 
height  of  the  house  round  about: 
the  foundations  of  the  side-cham- 
bers were  a  full  reed  of  six  great 
cubits. 

Hev.  xi,  I.  And  there  was  given 
me  a  reed  like  unto  a  rod:  and  the 
angel  stood,  saying,  Rise,  and 
measure  the  temple  ot  God,  and 
the  altar,  and  them  that  worbhip 
therein.

thereof  according  to  the  breadth 
of  tlie  house;  arid  ten  cubits  teas 
the  Ircudth  thereof  before  tlie

the  h -use  within  \\ith  hoards  of 
cedar,  both  the  floor  of  the  house, 
and  the  walls  ol  the  ct;iling:a?id  he

bouse,  that  /.<?,  the  temple  before  It 
was  forty  cubits  long.  And  the 
cedar  of  the  house  within  was 
carved  with  bnops  and  open 
flowers:  all  was  cedar;  there  was 
no  stone  seen.  And  the  whole 
house  he  overlaid  with  gold,  until 
he  had  finished  all  the  house:  also 
the  wliole  altar  that  was  by  the 
oracle  he  overlaid  with  gold.  And 
the  floor  of  the  house  he  overlaid 
with  gold,  within  and  without. 

2  Chron.  ill,  3-7,  9.  Now  these 
are  the  things  wherein  Solomon 
was  instructed  for  the  building  of 
the  house  of  God.  The  length  by 
cubits  after  the  first  measure  was 
threescore  cubits,  and  the  breadth 
twenty  cubits.  And  the  porch 
that  ivas  in  the  front  of  the  house, 
the  length  of  it  was  according  to 
the  breadth  of  the  house,  twenty 
cubits,  and  the  height  was  an  hun- 
dred and  twenty;  and  he  overlaid 
it  within  with  pure  gold.  -And  the 
greater  house  he  celled  with  fir- 
tree,  which  he  overlaid,  with  fine 
gold,  &nd  set  thereon  palm-trees 
and  chains.  And  he  garnished 
the  house  with  precious  stones  for 
beauty:  and  the  gold  toas  gold  of 
Parvaim.  He  overlaid  also  the 
house,  the  beams,  the  posts,  and 
the  walls  thereof,  and  the  doors 
thereof,  with  gold;  and  graved 
cherubims  on  the  walls.  And  the 
weight  of  the  nails  was  fifty 
shekels  of  gold.  And  he  overlaid 
tUs  upyer  chambers  with  gold,  _

f  jn«(;s  vl,  81-34.  And  for  the 
entering  of  the  oracle  Jie  made 
doors  0/ olive-tree:  the  lintel  and 
sl(ie-po8ts  were  a  fifth  part  of  the 
wall.  The  two  doors  also  were  of 
olive-tree;and  he  carved  upontheui 
carvings  of  cherubims,  and  palra« 
trees,  and  open  flowers,  and  over- 
laid them  with  gold,  and  spread 
gold  upon  the  clierubiais,  and 
upon  the  palm-trees.  So  also 
made  he  for  the  door  of  the  tem- 
ple posts  of  olive-tree,  a  fourth 
part  of  the  wall.  And  the  two 
doors  were  of  flr-tree:  the  two 
leaves  ot  the  one  door  were  fold- 
ing, and  the  two  leaves  of  the 
oiiicr  door  were  folding. 

WINDOWS,  STAIRCASE,  AND 
COURTS. 

1  Kings  vi,  4.  8,  36.  And  for  the 
house  he  made  windows  of  narrow 
liiihts.  The  door  for  the  middle 
chamber  was  in  the  right  side  of 
thtt  house:  and  they  went  up  with 
winding  stairs  Into  the  middle 
chamber,  and  out  of  the  middle 
into  the  tliird.  And  he  built  the 
inner  court  with  three  rows  of 
hewed  stone,  and  a  row  of  cedar- 
beams. 

2  Ohron.  iv,  9.  Furthermore  he 
made  the   court  of  the  priests, 

(399 


and  tho  prroat  court,  and  doors  fot 
the  court,  and  overlaid  the  doorS 
ot  them  with  brass. 

PILLARS. 

1   Kings  vH,   15-22,  27-87,  41, 
42.    For  he   cast   two   pillars  of 
brass,   of   eighteen    cubits    high 
apiece:  and  a  line  of  twelve  cubits 
did  compass  either  of  them  about. 
And  he  made  two  chapiters   of 
molten   brass,   to  set   upon   the 
tops  of  the  pillars:  the  height  of 
the  one  chapiter  was  five  cubits 
and    the    height    of   the   oiher 
chapiter  was    live    cubits:    And 
nets  of  checker-work,  and  wreaths 
of  chain-work,  for  the  chapiters 
which  were  upon  the  top  of  the 
pillars;  seven  tor  the  one  chapiter, 
and  seven  for  the  other  chapiter. 
And  he  made  the  pillars,  and  two 
rows  round  about  upon  the  one 
net-work,  to  cover  the  chapiters 
that  iccre  upon  the  top  with  pome- 
granates: and  so  did  he  lor  the 
other  chapiter.  And  the  chapiters 
that  were  upon  the  top  of  the  pil- 
[  lars  were  of  lily-work  iu  the  porch, 
i  four  cubits.     And  the  chapiters 
I  upon  the  two  pillars  had  pome- 
granates also  above,  over  against 
j  the  belly  v/hich  was  by  the  net- 
.  work:  and  the  pomegranates  wera 
:  two  hnudred,  in  rows  round  about 
I  upon  the  other  cliapiler.    And  he 
set  up  tho  pillars  iu  the  porch  of 
the  temple:  and  he  set  up  the  right 
pillar,  and  called  the  name  thereof 
Jachin;  and  he  set  up  the  left  pil- 
lar, and  called  the  name  thereof 
Boaz.    And  upon  the  top  of  the 
pillars  was  lily-work:  so  was  the 
work  ot  the  pillars  finished.    And 
he  made  ten  bases  ol  brass;  four 
cubits  loas  the  lenfth  of  one  base, 
and  four  cubits  the  breadth  tliere- 
j  of,  and  three  cubits  the  height  of 
'  it.  And  the  work  of  the  bases  was 
'  on  this  mariner:  they  had  borders, 
I  and  the  borders  were  between  the 
I  ledges :  And  on  the  borders  that 
I  were   between   tho  ledges  were 
I  lions,  oxen,  and  cherubims:  and 
:  upon  the  ledges  thC7-e  teas  a  base 
above:  and  beneath  the  lions  and 
oxen  were  certain  additions  made 
ot  thin  work.     And  every  base 
had  four  brasen  wheels,  and  plates 
of  br^iss;   and  the    four  corners 
thereof  had  undersell  ers:  under 
the  laver  were  undcrseiiers  mol- 
ten, at  the  sides  of  every  addition. 
And  tho  mouth  of  it,  within  the 
Chapiter  and  above,  Jfos  a  cubit: 
but  the  uiuuth  thereof  «;as  round, 
after  the  work  of  the  base,  a  cubit 
and  an  half;  and  also  upon  the 
mouth  of  it  were  gravings  with 
their    borders,    lour-square,    not 
round.     And  under  the  borders 
were  four  wheels;  and  the  axle- 
trees  of  the  wheels  were  joined  to 
the  base:  and  the  height  of  a  w  heel 
was  a  cubit  and  half  a  cubit.   And 
tho  work  of  the  wheels  was  like

axle-trees,  and  tlieir  naves,  and 
their  felloes,  and  their  spokes, 
were  all  molten.  And  there  icere 
fonr  undersetters  to  the  four  cor- 
ners of  one  base:  and  the  under- 
setters loere  of  the  very  base 
Itself.  And  in  the  top  of  the  base 
was  there  a  mund  compass  of  half 
a  cubit  liij?li:  and  on  the  top  of  tlie 
base,  the  ledges  there  )f,  and  the 
borders  tliereof,  were  of  the  same. 
For  on  the  plates  of  the  ledges 
thereof,  and  on  the  borders  there- 
of, he  graved  cheriibims,  lions,  and 
palm  trees,  according  to  the  pro- 
I)ortion  of  every  one,  and  additions 
round  about,  Afrer  this  manner 
he  made  the  ten  bases:  all  of  them 
had  one  casting,  one  measure,  rt7id 
one  size.  The  two  pillars, and  the 
tv'o  bowls  of  the  chapiters  that 
xoere  on  the  top  of  the  two  pillars; 
and  the  two  net-works,  to  cover

for  one  net-work,  to  cover  the  two 
bowls  of  the  chapiters  that  were 
upon  the  pillars.

cha[)iter  round  about,  all  of  brass: 
and  like  unto  these  had  the  second 
pillar  with  wreathen-work. 

Jer.  Hi,  21,  22.  And  concerning 
the  pillars,  the  heigiit  of  one  pil-

out  in  the  holy  place  before  the 
oracle,  and  they  were  not  seen 
without:  and  there  they  are  unto

are  come  into  thine  iniieritance; 
thy  holy  temple  have  they  defiled; 
they  have  laid  Jerusalem  on 
Leaps. 

Isa.  Ixiv,  11,  12.  Our  lioly  and 
our  beautiful  house,  where  our 
fathers  praised  thee,  is  burnt  up 
with  fire:  and  all  our  pleasant 
things  are  liid  waste.  Wilt  thou 
retrain  thyself  for  these  things,  O 
LoRh?  wilt  thou  hold  thy  peace, 
and  afllicl  us  very  sore? 

Jer.vii,  12.  But  go  ye  now  unto 
my  place  which  was  in  Shili>h, 
where  I  set  my  name  at  the  first. 
and  see  what  I  did  to  it  for  tlie 
wickedness  of  my  people  Israel. 

Jer.  Hi,  12,  13.  Now  in  tlie  fifth 
month,  in  the  tenth  day  of  the 
month,  which  toas  the  nineteenth 
year  of  Nebuchadrezzar  king  of 
Babylon,  came  Kebuzar  adan,  .  . 
And  burnt  the  house  of  the  Loud, 
and  the  king's  house;  and  all  the 
houses  of  Jerusalem,  and  all  the 
Louses  of  the  great  men,  burnt  he 
with  fire. 

Lam.  ii.  7.  The  Lord  hath  cast 
off  his  altar:  he  hath  abhorred  his 
Banctuary:  he  hath  given  up  into 
the  hand  of  the  enemy  the  walls 
of  her  palaces;  they  have  made  a 
noise  in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  as 
iu  the  day  of  a  solemn  feast. 

Lam.  iv,  1.  How  is  the  gold  be- 
cuiuo  Uiml  bow  is  tho  most  flue 


gold  changed !  the  stones  of  the 
sanctuary  are  poured  out  in  the 
top  of  every  street. 

RESTORATION  PREDICTED. 
Zecfi:  iv,  7.  Who  art  thou,  O 
great  mountain  ?  before  Zerub- 
babel  thou  shalt  become  a  plain: 
and  he  shall  bring  forth  the  head- 
stone thereof  with,  shoutings,  cry- 
ing, Grace,  grace,  unto  it. 

Zech.  vi,  15.  And  they  that  are 
far  off  shall  come  and  build  in  the 
temple  of  the  Lord;  and  ye  shall 
know  that  the  I^okd  of  hosts  hath 
sent  me  unto  you.  And  this  shall 
come  to  pass,  if  ye  will  diligently 
obey  the  voice  of  the  Lord  your 
God. 

And  Accompltshed  under  Cyrus. 

Ezra  i,  7-11.  Also  Cyrus  tho 
king  brouglit  forth  the  vessels  of 
the  house  ot  the  Lord,  which  Ne- 
buchadnezzar had  brought  forth  j 
out  of  Jerusalem,  and  had  put  j 
them  in  the  liouse  of  his  gods; 
Even  those  did  Cyrus  king  of 
Persia  bring  forth  by  the  hand  of 
Mithredath  the  treasurer,  and 
numbered  them  unto  Slieshbazzar, 
the  prince  of  Judah.  And  this  is 
the  number  of  them  :  thirty 
chargers  of  gold,  a  thonsmd 
chargers  of  silver,  nine  and  twenty 
knives.  Thirty  bas.-ns  of  gold, 
silver  basons  of  a  second  sortionr 
hundred  and  ten,  and  other  ves- 
sels a  thousami.  All  the  vessels 
of  gold  and  ot  silver  were  five 
thousand  and  four  hundred.  All 
these  did  Sheslibazzji-  bring  up 
with  them  of  the  capfivi-v  that 
were  brought  up  fiora  Babylon 
unto  Jerusalem. 

Ezra  V,  15.  And  said  unto  him, 
Take  these  vessels,  go,  carry 
them  Into  the  temple  that  is  in 
Jerusalem 

Ezra  vi,  3-5,  11-13.  In  the  first 
year  of  Cyrus  the  king,  the  same 
Cyrus  the  king  made  a  decree 
concerning  the  house  of  God  at 
Jerusalem,  Let  the  house  be 
budded,  the  place  where  they  of- 
fered sacrifices,  and  let  the  loun- 
dations  thereof  be  strongly  lal<l; 
the  height  thereof  threescore  cu- 
bits, and  the  breadth  tiiereof 
threescore  cubits;  With  threerows 
of  great  stones,  and  a  row  of  new 
timber:  and  let  the  expenses  be 
given  out  of  the  king's  liouse. 
And  also  let  the  golden  and  silver 
vessels  of  the  house  of  God,  Avhicli 
Nebuchadnezzar  took  forth  out  of 
the  temple  which  /sat  Jerusalem, 
and  brought  unto  Babylon,  be  re- 
stored, and  brought  again  unto 
the  temple  which  is  at  Jerusalem, 
every  one  to  his  place,  and  place 
them  in  the  house  of  God.  Also  I 
have  made  a  decree,  that  whoso- 
ever shall  alter  this  woid,  let 
timber  be  pulled  down  from  Lis 
704 


house,  and,  being  set  up.  let  him 
be  hanged  thereon;  and  let  his 
house  be  made  a  dunghill  for  this. 
And  the  God  that  hath  caused  his 
name  to  dwell  there,  destroy  all 
kings  and  people  that  shall  put  to 
their  hand  to  alter  and  to  destroy 
this  house  of  God,  which  is  at  Je- 
rusalem. I  Darius  have  made  a 
decree;  let  it  be  done  with  speed. 
Then  Tatnai,  governor  on  this 
side  the  river,  Shethar-boznai,  and 
their  companions,  according  to 
that  which  Darius  the  king  had 
sent,  so  tliey  did  speedily. 

Ezra  vii,  19.  The  vessels  also 
that  are  given  thee  for  the  service 
of  tho  house  of  thy  God,  those 
deliver  thou  before  the  God  of 
Jerusalem. 

Ezra  viii,  24,  25,  33,  34.  Then  I 
separated  tw.  Ive  of  the  chid  of 
the  priests,  Slierebiiih.  Ilashabiah, 
and  ten  of  their  brethren  with 
them.  And  weighed  unto  theni 
the  silver,  and  the  gold,  and  the 
vessels,  even  the  ofTering  of  the 
house  of  our  God,  whicU  tlie  king, 
and  his  counsellors,  and  his  lords, 
and  all  Israel  there  present,  liad 
offered.  Now,  on  the  fourth  day 
was  the  silver,  and  the  gold,  and 
the  vessels,  weighed  in  the  house 
of  our  God  by  the  hand  of  Mere- 
moth  the  son  of  Uriah  the  iiriest; 
and  with  him  was  i'lleazir  the  son 
of  Phineha^;  and  with  th<m  was 
Jozabad  tlie  son  of  Jeshua,  and 
Noadiah  the  son  of  Binnui,  Lev- 
ites;  by  nuinoer.  and  by  weight 
of  every  one:  and  all  the  weiijht 
was  written  at  that  time. 

REBUILT  UNDER  DIVINE 
PROMISE. 

Ezra  iil,  6-9.  From  the  first 
day  of  the  seventh  month  began 
they  to  offer  burnt-i.ff  rings  unto 
the  LoRu:  hut  the  toundiition  of 
the  temple  of  the  Lord  was  not 
yet  laid.  They  gave  money  also 
unto  the  masons,  and  to  the  car- 
penters; and  meat.  an(i  drink,  and 
oil,  unto  them  ot  Zidon,  und  to 
them  of  Tyre,  to  bring  ceilar  trees 
from  Lebanon  to  theseaof  Joppa, 
according  to  the  grant  that  they 
had  of  Cyrus  king  of  Persia.  Now, 
iu  the  second  year  of  their  coming 
unto  the  house  of  Go(i  at  Jerusa- 
lem, in  the  second  month,  began 
Zerubbabel  the  son  of  SlieaUiel, 
and  Jeshua  tho  son  of  Jc^zaduk, 
and  the  remnant  of  their  brethren 
the  piiests  and  the  Levitts,  und 
all  they  that  were  come  out  of  the 
captivity  unto  Jerusalem;  and  ap- 
pointed the  Loviies,  from  twenty 
years  old  and  upward,  to  set  for- 
ward the  work  of  the  house  of 
the  Lord.  Then  stood  Jeshua, 
loith  Ills  sons  and  his  brethren, 
Kadmiel  and  his  sons,  the  scms  of 
Judah,  together,  to  set  forward 
the  workmen  iu  the  house  of  Gud;

the  eons  of  Henadnd,  wtth  their 
eons  and  their  bretlirea  the 
Levites. 

Ezra  V,  t,  2,  16.  Then  the 
prophets,  Hajgai  the  prophet,  and 
Zechariah  the  son  of  Iddo,  pro- 
phesied unto  the  Jews  that  were 
in  Judah  and  Jerusalem  in  the 
name  of  the  God  of  Israel, 
even  unto  them.  Then  rose  up 
Zerubbabel  the  son  of  Shealtiel, 
and  Jeshua  the  son  of  Jozadak, 
and  began  to  build  the  house  of 
God  which  is  at  Jerusalem:  and 
■with  tliem  were  the  prophets  of 
God  helpm;?  them.  Then  came 
the  same  Stieshbazzar,  a7id  laid 
the  foundation  of  the  house  of 
God  which  is  in  Jerusalem:  and 
since  that  time  even  until  now 
hath  it  been  in  building,  and  j/et 
it  is  not  Unished. 

Ezra  vl,  14,  15.  And  the  elders 
of  the  Jews  builded,  and  they  pros- 
pered through  the  prophesying  of 
Haggai  the  prophet,  and  Zechar- 
iah the  son  of  Iddo:  and  they 
buildod,  and  finished  it,  according 
to  the  commandment  of  the  God 
of  Israel,  and  according  to  the 
commandment  of  Cyrus,  and 
Darius,  and  Artaxerxes  Iving  of 
Pei^-ia.  And  this  house  was  fin- 
ished on  the  third  day  of  the 
mcmth  Adar,  which  was  in  the 
sixth  year  of  the  reign  of  Darius 
the  king. 

Haggai  1,  2,  3,  8,  9, 12-15.  Thus 
spoalvetli  the  Loed  of  hosts,  say- 
ing, This  people  say,  The  time  is 
not  come,  the  time  that  the  Loro's 
house  should  be  built.  Then 
came  the  word  of  the  Lobd  by 
Haggai  the  prophet,  saying.  Go 
up  to  the  mountain,  and  bring 
wood,  and  build  the  house;  and  I 
will  take  pleasure  in  it,  and  I  will 
be  glorified,  saith  the  Lord.  Ye 
looked  for  much,  and,  lo,  it  came 
to  little;  and  when  ye  brought  it 
home,  I  did  blow  upon  it.  Why? 
eaith  the  Lord  of  hosts.  Because 
of  mine  house  that  is  waste,  and 
ye  run  every  man  unto  his  own 
house.  Tlien  Zerubbabel  the  son 
of  Shealtiel,  and  Joshua  the  son 
of  Josedech,  the  high  priest,  with 
all  the  remnant  of  the  people, 
obeyed  the  voice  of  the  Lord 
their  God,  and  the  words  of  Hag- 
gai the  prophet,  (as  the  Lord  their 
God  liad  sent  him.)  and  the  peo- 
ple did  fear  before  the  Loed.  Then 
spake  lliggai  the  Lord's  messen- 
ger in  the  LoRu's  message  unto 
the  people,  8  lying,  I  avv  with  you, 
saith  the  Loed.  And  the  Lord 
stirred  up  the  spirit  of  Zerub- 
babel the  son  of  Sliealliel,  gover- 
nor of  Judah,  and  the  spirit  of 
Joshua,  tlie  son  of  Josedech,  the 
high  priest,  and  the  spirit  of  all 
tho  remnant  of  the  people;  and 
thoy  came,  and  did  work  iu  the 
bouse  of  the  Lord  of  hosts  tlieir 
God,    la  tuu  four  and  twentieth 


day  of  the  sixth  month,  m  the 
second  year  of  Darius  the  king. 

Haggai  ii,  2-4,  15,  16,  18,  19. 
Speak  now  to  Zerubbabel  the  son 
of  Shealtiel,  governor  of  Judah, 
and  to  Josliua  the  son  of  Josedech, 
the  high  priest,  and  to  the  residue 
of  the  people,  saying,  Who  is 
left  among  you  that  saw  this  house 
in  her  first  glory?  and  how  do  ye 
see  It  now?  is  it  not  in  your  eyes 
in  comparison  of  it  as  nothing? 
Yet  now  be  strong,  O  Zerubbabel, 
saith  the  Loed;  and  be  strong,  O 
Joshua,  son  of  Josedech,  the  high 
priest;  and  be  strong,  all  ye  peo- 
ple of  the  land,  saith  the  Lobd, 
and  work:  for  I  am  with  you, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts.  And 
now,  I  pray  you,  consider  from 
this  day  and  upward,  from  betore 
a  stone  was  laid  upon  a  stone  in 
the  temple  of  the  Lord;  Since 
those  dai/s  were,  when  one  came 
to  an  heap  of  twenty  measures, 
there  were  but  ten:  when  one 
came  to  the  press  fat  for  to  draw 
out  fifty  vessels  out  of  the  press, 
there  were  but  twenty.  Consider 
now  from  this  day  and  upward 
from  the  four  and  twentieth  day 
of  the  ninth  month,  even  from  the 
day  that  the  foundation  o4  the 
Lord's  temple  was  laid,  consider 
it.  Is  the  seed  yet  in  the  barn? 
yea,  as  yet  the  vine,  and  the  fig- 
tree,  and  the  pomegranate,  and 
the  olive-tree,  hath  not  brought 
forth:  from  this  day  will  I  bless 
Vou. 

Zech.  iv,  9,  10.  The  hands  of 
Zerubabbel  have  laid  the  founda- 
tion of  this  house;  his  hands  shall 
also  finish  it;  and  thou  shalt  know 
that  the  Lord  of  hosts  bath  sent 
me  unto  you.  For  who  hath  de- 
spised the  day  of  small  things? 
for  they  shall  rejoice,  and  shall 
see  the  plummet  in  the  hand  of 
Zerubbabel  with  those  seven;  they 
are  the  eyes  of  the  Loed,  which 
run  to  and  fro  through  the  whole 
earth. 

Zech.  vlil,  9,  10.  Thus  saith  the 
Loed  of  hosts.  Let  your  hands  be 
strong,  ye  that  hear  in  these  days 
these  words  by  the  mouth  of  the 
prophets,  which  were  in  the  day 
that  the  foundation  of  the  house 
of  the  Lord  of  hosts  was  laid, 
that  the  temple  might  be  built. 
For  before  these  days  there  was 
no  hire  for  man,  nor  any  hire  for 
beast;  neither  was  there  any 
peace  to  him  that  went  out  or 
came  in  because  of  the  afQictiou: 
for  I  set  all  men  every  one  against 
his  neighbour.  .. 

OBSTACLES. 
Ezra  iv,  1-6.  Now,  when  the 
adversaries  of  Judah  and  Ben- 
jamin heard  that  the  children  of 
the  captivity  builded  the  temple 
unto  the  Lord  God  of  Israel; 
Then  they  came  to  Zerubbabel, 
and  to  the  chief  of  the  fathers, 
705 


and  satd  tinto  them.  Let  tin  bnlia 
with  you:  for  we  seek  your  God, 
as  ye  do;  and  we  do  sicriflce  unto 
him  since  the  days  of  Esar-haddon 
king  of  Assur,  which  brought  us 
up  hither.  But  Zerubbabel,  and 
Jeshua,  and  the  rest  of  the  chief 
of  the  fathers  of  Israel,  said  unto 
them.  Ye  have  nothing  to  do 
with  us  to  build  an  house  unto 
our  God;  but  we  ourselves  to- 
gether will  build  unto  the  Loud 
God  of  Israel,  as  king  Cyrus  the 
king  of  Persia  hath  commanded 
us.  Then  the  people  of  the  land 
weakened  tlie  hands  of  the  people 
of  Judah,  and  troubled  them  la 
building.  And  hired  counsellors 
against  them,  to  frustrate  their 
purpose,  all  the  days  of  Cyrus 
king  of  Persia,  even  until  the 
reign  of  Darius  king  of  Persia. 
And  in  the  reign  of  Ahasuerus,  in 
the  beginning  of  his  reign,  wrote 
they  unto  him  an  accusation 
against  the  inhabitants  of  Judah 
and  Jerusalem. 

Ezra  V,  3-11,  13,  17.  At  the 
same  time  came  to  them  Tatnal, 
governor  on  this  side  the  river, 
and  Shethar-boznai,  and  their 
companions,  and  said  thus  unto 
them,  Who  hath  commanded  yoa 
to  build  this  house,  and  to  make 
up  this  wall?  Then  said  we  unto 
them  after  this  manner.  What  are 
the  names  of  tlie  men  that  make 
this  building?  But  the  eye  of  their 
God  was  upon  the  elders  of  the 
Jews,  that  they  could  not  cause 
them  to  cease,  till  the  matter  came 
to  Darius:  and  then  they  returned 
answer  by  letter  concerning  this 
matter.  The  copy  of  the  letter 
that  Tatnal,  governor  on  this 
side  the  river,  and  Shethar-boznai, 
and  his  companions  the  Aphar- 
sachites,  which  were  on  this  side 
the  river,  sent  unto  Darius  the 
king:  They  sent  a  letter  unto 
him,  wherein  was  written  thus; 
Unto  Darius  the  king,  all  peace. 
Be  It  known  unto  the  king,  that 
we  went  into  the  province  of 
Judea,  to  the  house  of  the  great 
God,  which  is  builded  with  great 
stones,  and  timber  is  laid  in  the 
walls,  and  this  work  goeth  fast 
on,  and  prospereth  in  their  hands. 
Then  asked  we  those  elders,  a]id 
said  unto  them  thus,  Wlio  com- 
manded you  to  build  this  house, 
and  to  make  up  tliese  walls?  We 
asked  their  names  also,  to  certify 
thee,  that  we  might  write  the 
names  of  the  men  that  were  the 
chief  of  them.  And  thus  they  re- 
turned us  answer,  saying.  We  are 
the  servants  of  the  God  of  heaven 
and  earth,  and  build  the  house 
that  was  builded  these  many 
years  ago,  which  a  great  king  of 
Israel  builded  and  set  up.  But  in 
the  first  year  of  Cyrus  the  king 
of  Babylon,  the  same  king  Cyrus 
made  a  decree  to  build  this  house 
of  God.  Now  therefore,  if  it  seem 
2Y 


good  to  the  king,  let  there  he 
Bearch  made  in  the  king's  treiipure- 
house,  which  is  there  at  Babylon, 
wuetlier  it  be  so.  that  a  decree 
was  made  ot  Cyrus  the  klnj?  to 
build  this  house  of  God  at  Jeru- 
ealem,  and  let  the  kinpr  send  his 
pleasure  to  us  conceruiug  this 
matter. 

£zra  vl,  6,  7.  Now  therefore, 
Tatnai,  governor  beyond  tlie  river, 
Shethar-lioznai.  and  your  compan- 
ions the  Apliarsacliites,  widch  are 
beyond  tlie  river,  be  ye  far  from 
thence:  Let  the  work  of  this  house 
of  God  alone;  let  tlie  governor  of 
the  Jews,  and  the  elders  of  the 
Jews,  build  this  house  of  God  lu 
his  place. 

DEDICATION  OF  THE  SECOND 

TEMPLE. 
Ezravl.  16,  17.  And  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel,  the  priests,  and  the 
Levites,  and  the  rest  of  the  chil- 
dren of  the  cnpilvity,  kept  the 
dedication  ol  this  house  of  God 
with  joy.  And  offered  at  the  dedi-

a  sin-offering:  f  )r  all  Israel,  twelve 
he-goats,  according  to  the  number 
of  the  tribes  of  Israel. 

ITS  PURIFICATION  BY  JESUS. 

Mark  xl,  15, 16,  And  they  come 
to  Jerusalem:  and  Jesus  went  into 
the  temple,  and  began  to  cast  out 
them  that  sold  and  bought  in  the 
temple,  and  overtlirew  the  tables 
of  tlie  money-changers,  and  the 
seats  of  them  that  sold  doves; 
And  would  not  sufler  that  any 
man  should  carry  any  vessel 
through  the  temple. 

Luke  xix,  45,  46.  And  he  went 
into  the  temple,  and  began  to  cast 
out  them  that  sold  tlierein,  and 
them  that  bought;  Saying  unto 
them,  It  is  written.  My  house  is 
the  house  of  prayer:  but  ye  have 
made  it  a  den  of  thieves. 

John  il,  15.  And  when  he  had 
made  a  scourge  of  small  cords,  he 
drove  them  all  out  of  the  temple, 
and  the  sheep,  and  the  oxen;  and 
poured  out  the  changers'  money, 
and  overthrew  the  tables. 

PROPHECY  OP  ITS  FINAL 
DESTRUCTION. 

Matth.  xxiv,  1,  2.  And  Jesus 
went  out,  and  departed  from  the 
temple:  and  his  disciples  came  to 
Mm,  for  to  shew  him  the  build- 
ings of  the  temple.  And  Jesus 
Baid  unto  them,  See  ye  not  all 
these  things?  Verily  1  say  unto 
you.  There  shall  not  be  left  here 
one  stone  upon  another,  that 
shall  not  be  thrown  down. 

Mark  xiii,  1, 2.  And  as  he  went 
out  of  the  temple,  one  of  his  dis- 
ciples saith  uuto  him,  Muster,  see 


TABERNACLE— TEMPLE. 

what  manner  of  stones  and  what 
buildings  are  here!  And  Jt'sus 
answering,  said  unto  him,  Seest 
thou  these  great  buildings?  tliere 
shall  not  be  left  one  stone  upon 
another,  that  shall  not  be  thrown 
down. 

Luke  X7.i,  6,  6.  And  as  some 
spake  of  the  temple,  how  It  was 
adorned  with  goodly  stones  and 
gifts,  he  said.  As  for  these  things 
which  ye  behold,  the  days  will 
come,  in  the  which  there  shall 
not  be  left  one  stone  upon  an- 
other, that  shall  not  be  thrown 
down.

EZEKIEL. 

KEA6TJEBMENT,  PLAN,  ETa 

Ezeldel.  xl,  l,  5-49.  In  the 
five  and  twentieth  year  of  our 
captivity,  in  the  beginning  of  the 
year,  in  the  tenth  day  of  the 
month,  in  the  fourteenth  year 
after  that  the  city  was  smitten, 
in  the  self-same  day  the  hand  of 
the  Lord  was  upon  me,  and 
brought  me  thither.  And  behold 
a  wall  on  the  outside  of  the  house 
round  about,  and  in  the  man's 
hand  a  measuring  -  reed  of  six 
cubits  long,  by  the  cubit  and  an 
hand-breadth:  so  he  measured  the 
breadth  of  the  building,  one  ree<i; 
and  the  height,  one  reed.  Tlien 
came  he  unto  the  gate  which 
looketh  toward  the  east,  and 
went  up  the  stairs  thereof,  and 
measured  the  threshold  of  the 
gate,  which  was  one  reed  broad; 
and  the  other  threshold  of  the 
gate,  which  was  one  reed  broad. 
And  every  little  chamber  was  one 
reed  long,  and  one  reed  broad; 
and  between  the  little  chambers 
were  five  cubits:  and  the  thres- 
hold of  the  gate,  by  the  porch  of 
the  gate  within,  was  one  reed. 
He  measured  also  the  porch  of  the 
gate  within,  one  reed.  Then 
measured  he  the  porch  of  the 
gate,  e?ght  cubits;  and  the  posts 
thereof,  two  cubits;  and  the  porch 
of  the  gate  was  inward.  And  the 
little  chambers  of  the  gate  east- 
ward were  three  on  this  side,  and 
three  on  that  side;  they  three 
were  of  one  measure:  and  tlie 
posts  had  one  measure  on  this 
side  and  on  that  side.  And  he 
measured  the  breadth  of  the 
entry  of  the  gate,  ten  cubits;  and 
the  length  of  the  gate,  thirteen 
cubits.  The  space  also  before  the 
little  chambers  was  one  cubit  on 
this  side,  and  the  space  was  one 
cubit  on  that  side;  and  the  little 
chambers  were  six  cubits  on  this 
side,  and  six  cubits  on  that  side. 
He  measured  then  the  gate  from 
the  roof  of  one  little  chamber  to 
the  roof  of  another:  the  breadth 
was  Ave  and  twenty  cubits,  door 
against  door.    H  e  made  also  posts 


of  threescore  cnblts,  even  unto  the 
post  of  tlie  court  round  about  the 
gate.  And  from  the  face  of  the 
gate  of  the  entrance  unto  the  face 
of  the  porch  of  the  inner-gate 
were  flt'ty  cubits.  And  there  were 
narrow  windows  to  the  little 
chambers,  and  to  their  posts 
within  the  gate  round  about,  and 
likewise  to  the  arches;  and  win- 
dows were  round  about  inward: 
and  upon  each  post  were  palm- 
trees.  Tiien  brought  he  me  into 
the  outward  court,  and,  lo,  there 
icere  chambers,  and  a  pavement 
made  for  the  court  round  about: 
thirty  chambers  were  u^n  the 
pavement.  And  the  pavement 
by  the  t^lde  of  the  gates,  over 
against  tlie  length  of  the  gates, 
was  the  lower  pavement.  Then 
he  measured  the  breadth,  from 
the  fore-front  of  the  lower  gate 
unto  the  fore-front  of  the  inner 
court  without,  an  imndred  cubits 
CHSlward  and  northward.  And 
the  gate  of  the  outward  court 
that  looked  toward  the  north,  he 
measured  the  length  thereof, and 
the  breadth  thereof.  And  the 
little  cliambers  thereof  loere  three 
on  this  side,  and  three  on  that 
side:  and  the  posts  thereof,  and 
the*  arches  thereof,  were  after  the 
measure  of  the  first  gate:  tlie 
length  thereof  was  fifty  cubits, 
and  the  breadth  five  and  twenty 
cubits.  And  tlieir  windows,  and 
their  arches,  and  their  palm-trees, 
were  atter  the  measure  of  the  gate 
that  looketh  toward  the  east;  and 
they  went  up  into  it  by  seven 
steps;  and  the  arches  thereof  trere 
before  them.  And  the  gate  of  the 
inner  court  v}as  over  against  the 
gate  toward  the  north,  and  toward 
tlie  east;  and  he  measured  from 
gate  to  gate  an  hundred  cubits. 
After  that  he  brought  me  toward 
the  south,  and  behold  a  gate  to- 
ward tlie  south:  and  be  measured 
the  posts  thereof,  and  the  arches 
thereof,  according  to  these  meas- 
ures. And  there  were  windows 
in  it,  and  in  tlie  arches  theieof 
round  about,  like  those  windows: 
the  length  was  fifty  cubits,  and 
the  breadth  five  and  twenty 
cubits.  And  there  were  seven 
steps  to  go  up  to  it,  and  the 
arches  thereof  were  before  them; 
and  it  had  palm-trees,  one  on  this 
side,  and  another  on  that  side, 
upon  tlie  posts  thereof.  And 
there  was  a  gate  in  the  inner 
court  toward  the  south:  and  he 
measured  from  gate  to  gate  to- 
ward the  south  an  hundred  cubits. 
And  he  brought  me  to  the  inner 
court  by  the  south  gate:  and  he 
measured  the  south  gate  accord- 
ing to  these  measures;  And  the 
little  chambers  thereof,  and  the 
posts  thereof,  and  the  arches 
thereof,  according  to  these  meas- 
ures: and  there  were  windows  in 
it.  and  iu  the    arches    thereof 


rotiiad  atjoTjt  it  vms  fifty  cnTiJts 
long,  and  five  and  twenty  cnbita 
broad.      And  the    oroties    ronnd 
ahout  loere  five  and  twenty  cubits 
lon{^,  and  five  cubits  broad:    And 
the  arches  thereof  were  toward 
the  outer  court;  and  palm-trees 
were  upon  the  posts  thereof:  and 
the  goinu'  up  to  it  fiad  eight  steps. 
Ana  he  brought  me  into  the  inner 
court  toward    the  east:  and    he 
measured  the  gate  according  to 
these  measures.      And  tlje  little 
Chambers  thereof,  and  tlie  posts 
thereof,  and  the  arches  thereof, 
were  acconling  to  these  measures: 
and  tfiere  tcere  windows  therein, 
and  in  the  arches  tliereof  round 
about:  it  loas  fifty  cubits  long,  and 
five    and    twenty    cubits    broad. 
And  the  arches  thereof  icere  to- 
ward   the    outward    court;    and 
pnlm-trees  were  upon  the  posts 
tliereof,  on  this  side,  and  on  that 
Bide:  and  the  going  up  to  it  had 
eight  steps.    And  he  brought  me 
to  the  north  gate,  and  measured 
it  according  to  these  measures; 
The  little  cljambers  thereof,  the 
posts'    thereof,   and    tiie    arches 
thereof,   and  the   windows  to  it 
round  about:  the  length  vms  •fifty 
cubits,  and  the  breadth  five  and 
twenty    cubits.      And  the    posts 
thereof  toere   toward  the    outer 
court;  and  palm-trees  were  upon 
the  posts  thereof  on  this  side,  and 
on  that  side:  and  tiie  going  up  to 
It   had   eight   steps.       And    the 
chambers,  and  the  entries  thereof, 
were  by  the  pnsts  of  the  gates, 
wtiere  they  washed    the    burnt- 
ofi'erlng.    And  in  tlie  porch  of  tlie 
gate  tvere  two  tables  on  this  side, 
and  two   tables  on  that  side,  to 
slay  thereon   the    burnt-ollering, 
and  the  sin-offering,  and  the  tres- 
pass-offering.     And  at  the  side 
without,  as  one  goeth  up  to  the 
entry  of  the  north  gate,  were  two 
tables;    and  on    the  other    side, 
which  was  at  the  porch  of  the 
gate,    were   two   tables.       Four 
tables  were  on  tlds  side,  and  four 
tables  on  that  side,  by  the  side  of 
the  gate;  eight  tables,  whereupon 
tliey  slew  their  sacrifices.    And 
the  four  tables  inere  of  hewn  stone 
for  tlie  burnt-offering,  of  a  cubit 
and  an  half  Icmg,  and  a  cubit  and 
an  half  broad,  and  one  cubit  high: 
wliereupon    also    they    laid    the 
Instruments  wherewiih  they  slew 
the  burnt-offering  and  the  sacri- 
fice.   And  within  were  hooks,  an 
band-broad,  fastened  round  about: 
and  upon  the  tables  was  tlie  flesh 
of  the  offering.    And  without  the 
Inner  gate  icere  tlie  chambers  of 
the   singers  in  the  inner    court, 
which  was  at  the  side  of  the  north 
gate;  and  their  prospect  was  to- 
ward the  south;  one  at  the  side  of 
the  east  gate  fiaving  the  prospect 
toward  the  north.    And  he  said 
unto  me,  Tlds   chamber,  whose 
prospect  is  toward  tlie  south,  is 


TABERNACLE— TEMPLE. 

for  the  priests,  the  icftepers  of  the 
charo-'^    of  the   house.     And    the 
chamber,  whose  prospect  is   to- 
ward the  north,  is  for  the  priests, 
the  keepers  of  the  charge  of  the 
altar:  these  are  the  sons  of  Zadok, 
among  the  sons  of  Levi,  which 
come  near  to  the  Lord  to  minis- 
ter unto  hlin.    So  ho  measured 
the  court,  an  hundred  cubits  long, 
and    an    hundred    cubits    broad, 
four-square;  and    the    altar  that 
toas  before  the  house.     And  he 
brought  me  to  the  porc'i  of  the 
house,  and  measured  each  post  of 
the  porch,  five  cubits  on  tliis  side, 
and  five  cubits  on  ttiat  side:  and 
the  breadth  of  the  gate  was  three 
cubits   on  this   side,    and    three 
cubits  on  that  side.    The  length 
of  the  porch  was  twenty  cubits, 
and  tlie  breadth  eleven  cubits;  and 
he  brought  me  by  the  steps  where- 
by they  went  up  to  it:  and  there 
were  pillars  by  tlie  posts,  one  on 
this  si'le,and  another  on  that  side. 
Ezek  xli,  1-7,  9-26.    Afterward 
ho  brought  me  to  the  temple,  and 
measured  the  posts,    six    cubits 
broad  on  tlie  one  side,  and  six 
cubits  broad  on  the  other  side, 
which  was  the  breadth  of  the  ta- 
bernacle.  And  the  breadth  of  the 
door  loas  ten  cubits;  and  the  sides 
of  the  door  icere  five  cubiis  on 
the  one  side,  and  five  cubits  on 
the  other  sidef  and  he  measured 
the  length  thereof,  forty  cubits, 
and  tlie  breadth,  twenty  cubits. 
Then-went  he  inward,  and  mea- 
sured the  post  of  the  door  two 
cubits,  and  the  door  six  cubits, 
and  tlie  breadth  of  the  door  seven 
cubits.      So    he    measured     the 
length  thereof,  twenty  cubits,  and 
tlie  breadth  twenty  cubits,  before 
the  temple;  and  he  said  unto  me. 
This  is  the  most  hvly  place.  Alter 
he  measured  tlie  wall  of  tiie  house 
six  cubits-;    and    tlie  breadth   of 
every  side-chamber   four  cubits, 
round  about  the  house  on  every 
side.  And  the  side-chambers  trere 
three,  one  over  another,  and  thirty 
in  order,  and  they  entered  into 
the  wall  which  teas  of  the  house 
for  the  side-chambers  roundabout., 
tliat  they  might  have  hold,  but 
they  had  not  hold  in  the  wall  of 
the  house.    And  there  was  an  en- 
larging, and  a  winding  about  still 
upward  to  the  side-chambers;  for 
the  winding  about  of  the  h<iuse 
went  still  upward  round    about 
the  house:  therefore  the  breadth 
of  the  house  was  still  upward,  and 
so  increased /rom  the  lowest  cAa?n- 
ber  to  the  highest  by  the  midst. 
The  thickness  of  the  wall,  which 
was  for  the  side-chamber  without, 
was  five  cubits;  and  that  which 
was  left  was  the  place  of  the  side- 
chambers  I  hat  were  within.    And 
between  the  chambers  was  the 
wideness  of  twenty  cubits  round 
about  the  liouse  on  every  side. 
And  tho  doors  of  the  6lde-cLaia> 


bers  were  toward  the  place  that 
was   left,  one    door  toward    the 
north,  and  another  door  toward 
the  south:  and  the  breadth  of  the 
place  that  was  left  was  five  cnbita 
round  about.    Now  the  buihllng 
that    was    before    tlie    separate 
place,  at  the  end  toward  tho  west, 
was  seventy  cubits  broail;  and  tho 
wall  of  the  building  ivas  five  cu- 
bits thick  round  about,  and  the 
length  thereof  ninety  cubits.    So 
he  measured  the  house,  an  hun- 
dred cubits  long;  and  the  separate 
place,  and  the  building,  with  the 
walls  thereof,  an  hundred  cubits 
long,  Also  the  breadth  of  the  face 
of  the  house,  and  of  the  separate 
place  toward  the  east,  an  hundred 
cubits.      And   he    measured    the 
length  of  the  building  over  against 
the  separate  place  which  teas  be- 
Idnd  it,  and  the  galleries  thereof 
on  the  one  side,  and  on  the  other 
side,  an  hundred  cubits,  with  the 
inner  temple,  and  the  porches  of 
the  court;  The  door-posts,  and  tho 
narrow  windows,  and  the  galleries 
round  about  on  their  three  stories, 
over  against  the  doc^r,  ceiled  with 
wood  round  about,  and  from  the  . 
ground  up  to  the  windows,  and 
the  windows  were  covered;  To 
that  above  the  door,  even  unto 
the  inner  house  and  without,  and 
by  all  the  wall  round  about,  witli- 
in  and  without,  by  measure.  And 
it  was  made  with  cheruhims  and 
palm-trees,  so    that  a  palm-tree 
tvas  between  a  cherub  and  a  che- 
rub; and  every  chernb  had  two 
faces;  So  that  the  face  of  a  man 
was  toward  the  palm-tree  on  the 
one  side,  and  the  face  of  a  young 
lion  toward  the  palm-tree  on  the 
other  side:  it  was  made  through 
all  the  house  round  about.    From 
the  ground  unto  above  the  door 
were  cheruhims  and   palm-trees 
made,  and    on  the   wall    of   the 
temple.    The  posts  of  the  temple 
were  squared,  and  the  tuce  of  the 
sanctuary;  tho  appearance  of  the 
one  as  the  appearance  of  the  other. 
The  altar  of  wood  v^as  tliree  cu- 
bits high,  and  the  length  thereof 
two  cubits;  and  the  corners  there- 
of, and  tne  length  thereof,  and  the 
walls  thereof,  wcj'e  of  wood:  and 
he  said  unto  me,  This  is  the  table 
that  is  before  the  Loud.    And  the 
temple  and  the  sanctuary  had  two 
doois.    And  the  doors  had  two 
leaves  apiece,  two  turning  leaves: 
two  leaves  for  the  one  door,  and 
two  leaves  for  t!ie    other  door. 
And  there  were  made  on  them,  on 
the  doors  of  the  temple,  cheruhims 
and  palm-trees,  like  as  were  made 
upon  the  walls;  and  there  icere 
thick  planks  upon  the  face  of  the 
porch  without.    And  there  vxre 
narrow  windows  and  palm-trees 
on  the  ore  side  and  on  the  other 
side,  on  the  sides  of  the  porch, 
and  upon  the  eide-chambera  of 
tlie  house,  and  thick  planks.

he  brought  me  into  the  chamber 
that M;as  over  ag'ainst  (he  sepanto

building  toward  the  north.  Be- 
fore the  length  of  an  hundred  cu- 
bits was  ttie  north  door,  and  tlie 
breadth  teas  fifty  cubits.  Over

were  for  the  inner  court,  and  over 
against  the  pavement  which  W/'asfor

the  chambfirs  loas  a  walk  of  ten  cu- 
bits breadth  inward,  a  way  of  one 
cubit;  and  their  doors  toward  the 
north.  Now  the  upper  chambers 
were  shorter :  for  the  galleries 
were  higlier  than  these,  than  the 
lower,  and  than  the  middlemost 
of  the  building.  For  they  ioer&  in 
three  stories,  but  had  not  pillars 
as  the  pillars  of  the  courts:  there- 
fore the  building  was  straitened 
more  than  the  lowest  and  the 
middlemost  from  the  ground. 
And  the  wall  that  teas  without 
over  against  the  chambers,  to- 
ward the  outer  court  on  the  fore- 
part of  the  chambers,  the  length 
tiiereot  was  fifty  cubits.  For  the 
length  of  the  chambers  that  were 
in  the  outer  court  loas  fifty  cubits; 
and,  lo,  before  the  temple  loere  an 
hundred  cubi's.  And  from  under 
these  chambers  loas  the  entry  on 
the  east  side,  as  one  goeth  into 
them  from  tlie  outer  court.  The 
ciiambers  were  in  the  thickness  of 
the  wall  of  the  court  toward  the 
east,  over  against  the  separate 
pbce,  and  over  against  the  build- 
ing. And  the  way  before  them 
was  like  the  appearance  of  the 
chambers  which  were  toward  the 
north,  as  long  as  they,  and  as 
broad  as  they;  and  all  their  goings 
out  were  both  according  to  their 
fashions,  and  according  to  their 
doors.  And  according  to  the  doora 
of  the  chambers  that  loere  toward 
the  south  loas  a  door  in  tlie  head  of 
the  way,  even  the  way  directly 
before  the  wall  toward  the  ea»t, 
as  one  entereth  into  them.  Then 
said  he  unto  me,  The  north  cham- 
bers and  the  south  chambers, 
which  are  before  the  separate 
place,they  t'eholy  chambers,wher6 
the  priests  that  approach  unto  the

things:  there  shall  they  lay  tiie 
mobt  holy  things,  and  the  meat- 
olTering,  and  the  ein-offiiring,  and 
the  trespass-ofiforing;  for  the  place 
is  holy.  Now,  when  he  had  made 
an  end  of  measuring  the  inner 
house,  he  brought  me  forth  to- 
ward the  gate  whose  prospect  is 
toward  the  east,  and  measured  it 
round  about,  lie  measured  ttie 
east  side  with  the  measuring-reed,

reeds,  with  the  measuring-reed 
round  al)out.  He  measured  the 
south  side,  five  hundred  reetis, 
with  the  moasuring-roed.  He 
turned  about  to  the  west  side, 
and  measured  five  hundred  reeds, 
with  the  measuring- reed.  He 
moasured  it  by  the  four  sides:  it 
had  a  wall  round  about  five  huii 
dred  reeds  long,  and  five  hundred 
broad,  to  make  a  separation  be- 
tween the  sanctuary  and  the  pro- 
fane place.

Afterward  ho  brought  me  to  the 
gate,  even  the  gate  that  looketh 
toward  the  east:  And  the  glory  of 
the  Lord  came  into  the  house  by 
the  way  of  the  gate  whose  pro- 
spect is  toward  the  east.  So  the 
spirit  took  me  up,  and  brought  me 
into  the  inner  court;  and.  behold, 
the  glory  of  the  Lord  filled  the 
house.  In  their  setting  of  the 
threshold  by  my  thresholds,  and 
their  post  by  my  posts,  and  their 
wall  between  me  and  them,  they 
have  even  defiled  my  holy  name 
by  their  abominations  that  they 
have  committed:  wherefore  I  have 
contsumed  them  in  mine  anger. 
Now  let  them  put  away  their 
whoredom,  and  the  carcases  of 
their  kings,  far  from  me,  and  I 
will  dwell  in  the  midst  of  them 
for  ever.  This  is  .the  law  cf  the 
house;  Upon  the  top  of  the  moun- 
tain the  whole  limit  thereof  round 
about  shall  be  most  holy.  Behold, 
this  is  the  law  of  the  house.  And 
these  are  the  measures  of  the 
altar  after  the  cubits:  The  cubit  is 
a  cubit  and  an  baud-breadth;  even 
the  bottom  shall  be  a  cubit,  and 
the  breadth  a  cubit,  and  the  bor- 
der thereof  by  the  edge  thereof 
round  about  shall  be  a  span:  and 
this  shall  be  the  higher  place  of 
the  altar.  And  from  the  bottom 
upon  the  ground  even  to  the 
lower  settle  shall  be  two  cubits, 
and  the  breadth  one  cubit;  and 
from  the  less^T  settle  even  to  the 
greater  settle  shall  be  four  cubits,

altar  shall  be  tour  cubits;  and  from 
the  altar  and  upward  shallbe  tour

twelve  cubits  long,  twelve  broad, 
square  in  the  foursquares  thereof. 
And  the  settle  shall  be  fourteen

Ezeh.  xllv,  1-4,  6-9.  Then  he 
brought  me  back  the  way  of  the 
gate  cf  the  outward  sanctuary, 
which  looketh  toward  the  oast, 
and  itt^^as  shut.  Then  said  the 
Lord  unto  me,  This  gate  shall 
be  shut,  It  sliail  not  be  opened, 
and  no  man  shall  enter  in  by  it; 
because  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is-  i 
7Uti 


rael,  hath  entered  In  by  It,  there- 
fore it  shall  be  shut.  It  is  for  the 
prince;  the  priuce,  he  shall  sit  ia 
it  to  eat  bread  before  the  I^ord; 
he  shall  enter  by  the  way  of  the 
porch  of  that  gale,  and  shall  go 
out  by  the  way  of  the  same.  Then 
brougi.it  he  me  the  way  of  the  • 
north  gate  before  the  house:  and 
I  looked,  and,  behold,  the  glory  of 
the  Loud  filled  the  house  of  the 
iiORD;  and  I  fell  upon  my  face. 
And  thou  shalt  say  to  the  rebel- 
lious, even  to  the  house  of  Israel, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  Gon,  o  ye 
house  of  Israel,  let  it  suGlce  you 
of  all  5'our  abominations,  in  that 
ye  have  brought  into  my  sanctu- 
ary  strangers,  uncircumcised  ia 
heart,  and  uncircunicised  in  flesh, 
to  be  in  my  sanctuary,  to  pollute 
it,  even  my  hou-e,  when  ye  offer 
my  bread,  the  lat  and  the  blood, 
and  they  have  broken  my  cove- 
nant, because  of  all  your  abomi- 
nalions.  And  ye  have  not  kept 
the  charge  of  mine  holy  things; 
but  ye  have  set  keepers  of  my 
charge  in  my  sanctuary  for  your- 
selves. Thus  saith  the  Lord  God, 
No  stranger,  uncircuracised  ia 
heajt,  nor  uncircumcised  in  flesh, 
shall  enter  into  my  sanctuary,  of  I 
any  stranger  that  is  among  the 
children  of  Israel  I 

Ezelc.  xlvi,  8-10,  19-24.  And 
when  the  prince  shall  enter,  he 
shall  go  in  by  the  way  of  the 
porch  of  that  gate,  and  he  shall 
go  forth  by  the  way  thereof.  But 
when  the  people  of  the  land  shall 
come  before  the  Lokd  in  the 
solemn  feasts,  he  that  entereth  ia 
by  the  way  of  the  north  gate  to 
worship  shall  go  out  by  the  way 
of  the  south  gate;  and  he  that 
entereth  by  the  way  of  the  south 
gate  shall  so  forth  by  the  way  of 
the  north  gate:  he  shall  not  re- 
turn by  tlie  way  of  the  gate 
whereby  he  came  in,  but  shall  go 
forth  over  against,  it.  And  the 
prince  in  the  midst  of  them,  when 
they  go  in.  shall  go  in;  and  when 
they  go  forth,  shall  go  forth.  After 
he  brought  me  througli  the  entry, 
whicliimsat  the  sideof  the  gate,in- 
to  the  holychambers  of  the  priests, 
which  looked  toward  the  north: 
and,  behold,  there  was  a  plac  i  ou 
the  two  sides  westward.  Then 
said  he  unto  me,  This  is  the  place 
where  the  priests  shall  boil  the 
trespass-oflering  and  the  sin-ofTer- 
Ing,  where  they  shall  hake  the 
meat-offering;  that  tiiey  bear  them 
not  out  Into  the  outer  court,  to 
sanctify  the  people.  Then  he 
brouglit  nio  forth  into  the  outer 
court,  and  caused  me  to  pass  by 
the  four  corners  of  the  court;  and, 
behold.in  every  corner  of  the  court 
there  was  a  court.  In  the  four 
corners  of  the  court  there  icere 
courts  joined  of  forty  cubits

round  about  them  four,  and  itjpas 
made  with  boiling-places  under 
the  rows  round  about.  Then  said

of  them  that  boil,  where  the  mini-

SYNAGOGUES. 
Places  of  Sabbath  Worship. 

Ps.  Ixxiv,  8.  They  said  in  their 
hearts.  Let  us  destroy  them  to- 
gether: they  have  burnt  up  all  the 
synagogues  of  God  in  the  land. 

Matth.  iv,  23.  And  Jesus  went 
about  all  Galilee,  teaching:  in  their 
synagogues,  and  preaching  the 
gospel  of  the  kingdom,  and  heal- 
ing all  manner  of  sickness  and  all 
manner  of  disease  among  the 
people. 

Matth.  vi,  5.  And  when  thou 
prayest,  thou  shalt  not  be  as  tlie 
hypocrites  are:  for  they  love  to 
pray  standing  in  the  synagogues 
and  in  the  corners  of  the  streets, 
that  they  may  be  seen  of  men. 
Verily  I  say  unto  you,  They  have 
their  reward. 

Luke  vil,  4,  5.  And  when  they 
came  to  Jesus,  they  besought  him 
Instantly,  saying.  That  he  was 
worthy  for  whom  he  should  do 
this:  For  he  loveth  our  nation,  and 
he  hath  built  us  a  synagogue. 

Lulie  xl,  43.  Woe  unto  you, 
Pharisees:  for  5'e  love  the  upper- 
most seats  in  the  synagogues,  and 
greetings  in  the  markets. 

Acts  vi,  9.  Then  there  arose 
certain  of  the  synagogue,  which  is 
called  the  synagogue  of  the  Liber- 
tines, and  Cyrenians,  and  Alex- 
andrians, and  of  them  of  Cilicia 
and  of  Asia,  disputing  with  Ste- 
phen. 

Acts  xiii,  14.  But  when  they 
departed  from  Pt-rga,  they  came 
to  Aiitioch  in  Pisidia,  and  went 
Into  the  synagogue  on  the  sabbath 
day,  and  sat  down. 

Acts  XV,  21.  For  Moses  of  old 
time  liath  in  every  city  them  that 
preach  him,  being  read  in  the

Mark  v,  22.  And,  behold,  there 
Cometh  one  of  the  rulers  of  tlie 
synagogue,  Jairus  by  name;  and 
when  he  saw  bira,  he  fell  at  his

EXCOMMUNICATION. 

John  ix,  22.  These  words  spake 
bis  parents,  btcauiie  they  feared 


the  Jews:  for  the  Jews  had  agreed 
already,  that  if  any  man  did  con- 
fess that  he  was  Christ,  he  should 
be  put  out  of  the  synagogue. 

John  xil,  42.  Nevertheless 
among  the  chief  rulers  also  many 
believed  on  him;  but  because  of 
the  Pharisees  they  did  not  confess 
him,  lest  they  should  be  put  out 
of  the  synagogue. 

John  xvi,  2.  They  shall  put 
you  out  of  the  synagogufs:  yea, 
the  time  cometh,  that  whosoever 
killeth  you  will  think  that  he 
doeth  God  service.

AS  THE  SCENE  OF  OOd'S  PKESENCE. 

Gen.  xxviii,  16, 17.  And  Jacob 
awrtked  out  of  his  sleep,  and  he 
said,  Surely  the  Lord  is  in  this 
place,  and  1  knew  it  not.  And  he 
was  afraid,  and  said,  How  dread- 
ful is  this  place!  this  is  none  other 
but  the  house  of  God,  and  this  is 
the  gate  of  heaven. 

Exod.  iii,  5.  And  he  said,  Draw 
not  nigh  hither:  put  oflf  thy  shoes 
from  off  thy  feet,  for  the  place 
whereon  thou  standest  is  holy 
ground. 

Exod.  xix,  12,  13,  23-25.  And 
thou  Shalt  set  bounds  unto  the 
people  round  about,  saying.  Take 
heed  to  yourselves,  that  ye  go  not 
up  into  the  mount,  or  touch  the 
border  of  it:  whosoever  toucheth 
the  mount  shall  be  surely  put  to 
death.  There  shall  not  an  hand 
touch  it,  but  he  siiall  surely  be 
stoned,  or  shot  through;  whether 
it  be  beast  or  man,  it  shall  not  live: 
when  the  trumpet  soundeth  long, 
they  shall  come  up  to  the  mount. 
And  Moses  said  unto  the  Lord, 
the  people  cannot  come  up  to 
mount  Sinai:  for  thou  chargedst 
us,  saying.  Set  bounds  about  the 
mount,  and  sanctify  it.  And  the 
Lord  said  onto  him.  Away,  get 
thee  down,  und  thou  shalt  come 
up,  thou,  and  Aa^on  with  thee: 
but  let  not  the  pr.ess  and  the 
people  break  through  to  come  up 
unto  the  Lord,  lest  he  break  forth 
upon  them.  So  Moses  went  down 
unto  the  people,  and  spake  unto 
them. 

Exod.  xxlv,  1,  2.  And  he  said 
unto  Most^s,  Come  up  unto  the 
Lord,  thou,  and  Aaron,  Nadab,and 
Abiliu,  and  seventy  of  the  elders 
of  Israel:  and  wor.-hip  ye  afar  olf. 
And  Muses  alone  sh  .11  come  near 
the  Lord;  but  they  shall  not  come 
nigh,  neither  shall  the  people  go 
up  with  him. 

EiWd.  XXV,  8.  And  let  them 
make  me  a  sanctuary,  that  I  may 
dwell  among  them. 

Exod.  xxix,  43-45.  And  there  I 
709 


will  meet  with  the  children  of 
Israel,  and  the  tabernacte  shall  be 
sanctified  by  my  glory.  And  I 
will  sanctify  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation,  and  the  altar:  I  will 
sanctify  also  both  Aaron  and  his 
sons,  to  minister  to  me  in  the 
priest's  office.  And  I  will  dwell 
among  the  children  of  Israel,  and 
will  be  their  God. 

Exod.  xxxiii,  9, 10.  And  it  came 
to  pass,  as  Moses  entered  Into  the 
tabernacle,  the  cloudy  pillar  de- 
scended, and  stood  at  the  door  of 
the  tabernacle,  and  the  LOUD 
talked  with  Moses.  And  all  the 
people  saw  the  cloudy  pillar  stand 
at  the  tabernacle-door:  and  all  the 
people  rose  up  and  worshipped, 
every  man  in  his  tent-door. 

Exod.  xxxiv,  2, 3.  And  be  ready 
in  tlie  moriting,  and  come  up  in 
the  morning  unto  mount  Sinai, 
and  present  thyself  there  to  me  in 
the  top  of  the  mount.  And  no 
man  shall  come  up  with  thee, 
neither  let  any  man  be  seen 
throughout  all  the  mount;  neither 
let  the  flocks  and  herds  feed  be- 
fore that  mount. 

Lev.  ix,  23.  And  Moses  and 
Aaron  went  into  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation,  and  came  out, 
and  blessed  the  people:  and  the 
glory  of  the  Lord  appeared  unto 
all  the  people. 

Lev.  xvi,  2.  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  Mosls,  Speak  unto  Aaron  thy 
brother,  that  he  come  not  at  all 
times  into  the  bo\y  place  within 
the  vail  before  the  mercy-seat, 
which  is  upon  the  ark,  that  he  die 
not:  for  I  will  appear  in  the  cloud 
upon  the  mercy-seat. 

Lev.  xix,  30.  Ye  shall  keep  my 
sabbaths,  and  reverence  my  sanc- 
tuary: I  am  the  Lord. 

Lev.  xxvi,  11, 12,  And  I  will  set 
my  tabernacle  among  you:  and  my 
soul  shall  not  abhor  you.  And  I 
will  walk  among  you,  and  will  be 
your  God,  and  ye  shall  be  my 
people. 

Num.  xl,  17.  And  I  will  come 
down  and  talk  with  thee  there: 
and  I  will  take  of  the  spirit  which 
is  upon  thee,  and  will  put,  it  upon 
them;  and  they  shall  bear  the  bur- 
den of  the  people  with  thee,  that 
thou  bear  it  not  thyself  alone. 

1  Ohron.  xxlx,  1.  Furthermore, 
David  the  king  said  unto  all  the 
congregation,  Solomon  my  son, 
whom  alone  God  hath  chosen,  is 
yet  young  and  tender,  and  the 
work  is  great:  for  the  palace  is 
not  for  man,  but  for  the  Lord 
God. 

2  Ohron.  viii,  11.  And  Solomon 
brought  up  the  danghter  of  Pha- 
raoh out  of  the  city  of  David  unto 
the  house  tliat  he  had  built  for 
her:  for  he  said,  My  wife  shall  not 
dwell  in  the  house  of  David  king 


of  Terae!,  because  the  places  are 
holy,  wliereunto  the  ark  of  the 
LoKD  liath  come. 

Fs.  xciii,  5.  Thy  testimonies  are

to  him,  Put  oflftliy  slioes  from  thy 
feet:  for  tlie  place  where  thou 
Blandest  is  holy  ground. 

mb.  xii,  20,  21.  (For  they  could 
not  endure  that  which  was  com- 
manded, And  if  so  much  as  a 
beast  touch  the  mountain  it  shall 
be  stoned,  or  thrust  through  with 
a  dart:  And  so  terrible  was  the 
sight,  that  Moses  said,  I  exceed- 
ingly fear  and  quake.) 

Hev.  xxi,3.  And  I  heard  a  great 
voice  out  of  heaven,  saying.  Be- 
hold, the  tabernacle  of  God  is 
with  men,  and  he  will  dwell  with 
them,  and  they  shall  be  his  people, 
and  God  himself  shall  be  with 
them,  and  be  their  God. 

Num.  xvi,  37-40.  Speak  unto 
Eleazar  the  son  of  Aaron  the 
priest,,  that  he  take  up  the  censers 
out  of  the  burning,  and  scatter 
thou  the  fire  yonder;  for  they  are 
hallowed.  The  cs^nsers  of  these 
elnners  against  their  own  souls, 
let  them  make  them  broad  plates 
/or  a  covering  of  the  altar;  for 
they  offered  them  before  the 
Lord,  tiierefore  they  are  hallowed: 
and  they  shall  be  a  sign  unto  the 
children  of  Israel.  And  Eleazar 
the  priest  touk  thebrasen  censers, 
wherewith  they  that  were  burnt 
had  offered,  and  they  were  made 
broad  plates  for  a  covering  of  the 
altar.  To  be  a  memorial  unto  the 
children  of  Israel,  that  no  stran- 
ger, which  is  not  of  the  seed  of 
Aaron,  come  near  to  offer  incense 
bef'>re  the  Loan,  that  he  be  not 
as  Korah,  and  as  his  company;  as 
the  Lord  said,  to  him  by  the  hand 
of  Moses.

come  into  the  house  of  the  Loro, 
save  the  priests,  and  they  that

go  in,  for  they  are  holy:  but  all 
tlie  people  shall  keep  the  watch 
of  the  Lord.

fathers  have  trespassed,  and  done

their  faces  from  the  habiiation  of

Also  they  have  shut  up  the  d  jors

nor  offered  burnt-offerings  in  the 
holy  place  unto  the  God  of  Israel. 
Wherefore  the  wrath  of  the  Lord 
was  upon  Judah  and  Jerusalem, 
and  he  hath  delivered  tiiera  to 
trouble,  to  astonishment,  and  to 
hissing,  as  ye  see  with  your  eyes. 
For,  lo,  our  fathers  have  fallen  by 
the  sword;  and  our  sons,  and  our 
daugliters,  and  our  wives,  are  in 
captivity  for  this. 

Neh.  xiii,  4-8.  And  before  this. 
Eliashib  the  priest,  having  the 
oversight  of  the  chamber  of  the 
house  of  our  God,  was  allied  unto 
Tobiah:  And  he  had  prepared 
for  him  a  great  chamber,  where 
aforetime  they  laid  the  meat- 
offerings, the  frankincense,  and 
the  vessels,  and  the  tithes  of  the 
corn,  the  new  wine,  and  the  oil, 
(wliich  was  commanded  to  be 
given,  to  the  Levites,  and  the 
singers,  and  the  porters  )  and  tlie 
offerings  of  the  priests.  But  in 
all  this  time  was  not  I  at  Jeru- 
salem: for  in  the  two  and  thirtieth 
year  of  Artaxerxes  king  of  Baby- 
lon came  I  unto  the  king,  and 
after  certain  days  obtained  1  leave 
of  the  king.  And  1  came  to  Jeru- 
salem, and  understood  of  the  evil 
that  Eliashib  did  lor  Tobiah,  in 
preparing  him  a  chamber  in  the 
courts  of  the  house  of  God.  And 
it  grieved  me  sore;  therefore  I 
cast  forth  all  the  household-stuff 
of  Tobiah  out  of  the  chamber. 

Jer.  vii,  11.  Is  this  house,  which 
is  called  by  my  name,  become  a

Jer.  li,  51.  We  are  confounded,

Lam.  i,  10.  Tho  adversary  hath

and  the  changers  of  money  sittingr 
And  when  he  had  made  a  scourge 
of  small  cords,  he  drove  them  all 
out  of  the  temple,  and  the  sheep, 
and  the  oxen;  and  poured  out  the 
changer's  money,  and  overthrew 
the  tables;  And  said  unto  them 
that  sold  doves,  Take  these  things 
hence;  make  not  my  Father's 
house  an  house  of  merchandise. 

Acts  xxi,  27-29.  And  when  the

man  build  upon  this  foundation 
gold,  silver,  precious  stones,  wood, 
hay,  stubble;  Every  man's  work 
shall  be  made  manifest:  for  the 
day  shall  declare  it,  because  it 
shall  be  revealed  by  fire;  and  the 
fire  shall  try  every  man's  work  of 
what  sort  it  is.  If  any  man's 
work  abide  which  he  hath  built 
thereupon,  he  shall  receive  a  re- 
ward. If  any  man's  work  shall  be 
burnt,  he  shall  suffer  loss:  but  he 
himself  shall  be  saved;  yet  so  as 
by  lire.  If  any  man  detile  the 
temple  of  God,  him  shall  God  de- 
stroy: for  the  temple  of  God  is 
holy,  which  temple  yo  are,

eons  of  the  stranger  shall  not 
drink  thy  wine,  for  the  which 
thou  hast  laboured:  But  they  that 
have  gathered  it  shall  eat  it,  and

I  desired  of  the  Lord,  that  will  I

of  my  life,  to  behold  the  beauty  of 
the  Lord,  and  to  enquire  in  his 
temple.  For  in  the  time  of  trouble 
he  shall  hide  me  in  his  pavilion: 
in  the  secret  of  his  tabernacle 
shall  he  hide  me;  he  shall  set  me 
up  upon  a  rock 

Fs.  xlii,  3, 4.  My  tears  have  been 
my  meat  day  and  night,  while 
they  continually  say  unto  me.

my  soul  in  me:  for  I  had  gone 
with  the  multitude;  I  went  with

the  voice  of  JDy  and  praise,  with  a 
multitude  that  kept  holy-day.

Then  will  I  go  unto  the  altar  of

thirsty  land,  where  no  water  is; 
To  see  thy  power  and  thy  glory, 
so  as  I  have  seen  thee  iu  the 
sanctuary. 

Fs.  Ixxxiv,  1,  2.  4,  5,  7,  10.  How 
amiable  are  thy  tabernacles,  O 
Lord  of  hosts!  My  soul  longeth, 
yea,  even  faiuteth,  for  the  courts 
of  the  Lord;  my  heart  and  my 
flesh  crieth  out  for  the  living  God. 
Blessed  are  they  that  dwell  in 
thy  house:  they  will  be  still  prais- 
ing thee.  Selah.  Blessed  is  the 
man  whose  strength  is  in  thee; 
in  whose  heart  are  the  ways  of 
them:  They  go  from  strength  to 
strength;  every  one  of  them  in  Zion 
appeareth  beture  God.  For  a  day 
in  tliy  courts  is  better  than  a 
tliousand.  1  had  rather  be  a  door- 
keeper in  the  house  of  my  God, 
than  to  dwell  in  the  tents  of 
wickedness.

Vineyard. 

AN  EARLY  AND  COMMON  POSSESSION. 

Gen.  Ix,  20.  And  Noah  began 
to  he  an  husbandman,  and  he 
planted  a  vineyard. 

Num.  xvl,  14.  Moreover  thou 
hast  not  brought  us  into  a  lan(i 
that  floweth  with  milk  and  honey, 
or  given  us  Iniieritance  of  fields 
and  vineyards:  wilt  tliou  put  out 
the  eyes  of  these  men?  we  will 
not  come  up. 

1  Kings  xxi,  1.  And  ft  came  to 
pass  after  tliese  tidngs.  that  Na- 
both  tlie  Jezreelite  had  a  vine- 
yard, which  was  in  Jezieel,  hard 
by  the  palace  of  Ahab  king  of 
Samaria. 

2  Kings  v,  26.  And  he  said  unto 
him,  Went  not  mine  heart  with 
thee,  when  the  man  turned  again 
from  his  cliariot  to  meet  thee?  Is 
it  a  time  to  receive  money,  and  to 
receive  garments,  and  oliveyards, 
and  vineyards,  and  slieep,  and 
oxen,  and  men-servants,  and 
maid-servants? 

Cant,  vii,  12.  Let  us  get  up 
early  to  the  vineyards;  let  us  see 
if  the  vine  flourish,  whether  the 
tender  grape  appear,  and  the 
pomegranates  bud  forth:  there 
will  1  give  thee  my  loves. 

Cant  viii,  11.  12.  Solomon  had 
a  vineyard  at  Baal-hamon;  he  let 
out  the  vineyard  unto  keepers: 
every  one  for  the  fruit  thereof 
was  to  bring  a  thousand  pieces  of 
silver.  My  vineyard,  which  is 
mine,  is  before  me:  thou,  O  Solo- 
mon, must  have  a  thousand,  and 
those  tliat  keep  the  fruit  thereof 
two  hundred. 

Eccles,  ii,  4.  I  made  me  great 
works;  I  builded  me  houses:  I 
planted  me  vineyards. 

Isa.  v,  1-7, 10.  Now  will  I  sing 
to  my  well-beloved  a  song  of  »iy 
beloved  touching  his  vineyard. 
My  well-beloved  hath  a  vineyard 
in  a  very  fruitful  hill:  And  he 
fenced  it,  and  gathered  out  the 
stones  thereof,  and  planted  it  with 
the  ciioicest  vine.and  built  a  tower 
in  the  midst  of  it,  and  also  made 
a  wine-press  therein:  and  he  look- 
ed that  it  sliould  bring  forth 
grapes,  and  it  brought  forth 
wild  grapes.  And  now,  O  inliabi- 
tants  of  Jerusalem,  and  men  of 
Judah,  judge,  I  pray  you,  befwixt 
me  and  my  vineyard.  Wliat 
could  have  been  done  more  to  my 
vineyard,  that  I  have  not  done  in 
lit?  wherefore,  when  1  looked  that 


It  should  bring  forth  grapes, 
brought  it  forth  wild  grapes?  And 
now  go  to;  I  will  tell  you  what  I 
will  do  to  my  vineyard:  I-  will 
take  away  the  hedge  thereof,  and 
it  shall  be  eaten  up;  and  lireak 
down  the  wall  thereof,  and  It  shall 
be  trodden  down:  And  I  will  lay 
it  waste:  it  shall  not  be  pruned 
nor  digged;  but  there  shall  come 
up  briers  and  thorns:  I  will  also 
command  the  clouds  that  they 
rain  no  rain  upon  it.  For  the 
vineyard  of  the  Lord  of  hosts  is 
the  house  of  Israel,  and  the  men 
of  Judah  his  pleasan*  plant:  and 
he  looked  for  judgment,  but  be- 
hold oppression;  for  righteousness, 
but  beliold  a  cry.  Yea,  ten  acres 
of  vineyard  shall  yield  one  bath, 
and  the  seed  of  an  homer  shall 
yield  an  ephah. 

Jer.  xxxl,  5.  Thou  shalt  yet 
plant  vines  upon  the  mountains  of 
Samaria:  the  planters  shall  plant, 
and  shall  eat  them  as  common 
things. 

Amos  ▼,  11 Ye  have 

planted  pleasant  vineyards,  but 
ye  shall  not  drink  wine  of  them. 

Matth.  xxi,  33,  85-41.  Hear  an- 
other parable:  There  was  a  cer- 
tain householder,  which  planted 
a  vineyard,  and  hedged  it  round 
about,  and  digged  a  wine-press  In 
it,  and  built  a  tower,  and  let  it  out 
to  husbandmen,  and  went  into  a 
far  country.  And  the  husband- 
men took  his  servants,  and  beat 
one,  and  killed  another,  and 
stoned  another.  Again,  he  sent 
other  servants  more  than  the  first: 
and  they  did  unto  them  likewise. 
But  last  of  all  he  sent  unto  them 
his  son,  saying,  They  will  rever- 
ence  my  son.  But  when  the 
husbandmen  saw  the  son,  they 
said  among  themselves,  Tiiis  Is 
the  heir:  come,  let  us  kill  him, 
and  let  us  seize  on  his  inheritance. 
And  they  caught  him,  and  cast 
him  out  of  the  vineyard,  and  slew 
him.  When  the  lord  therefore  of 
the  vineyard  cometh,  what  will 
he  do  unto  those  husbandmen? 
They  say  unto  him,  He  will 
miserably  destroy  those  wicked 
men,  and  will  let  out  his  vineyard 
unto  other  husbandmen,  wliich 
ishall  render  him  the  fruits  in 
their  seasons. 

Luke  XX,  10-12.  And  at  the 
season  he  sent  a  servant  to  the 
husbandmen,  that  they  should 
give  him  of  the  fruit  of  the  vine- 
yard: but  the  husbandmen  beat 
him,  and  sent  him  away  empty. 
And  again  he  sent  another  bux- 
713 


vant:  and  they  beat  him  also,  attd 
entreated  him  shamefully,  and 
sent  him  away  empty.  And  again 
he  sent  a  third:  and  tliey  wounded 
him  also,  and  cast  him  out. 

THE  VINE. 

Gen.  xl,  9,  10.  And  the  chief 
butler  told  his  dream  to  Joseph, 
and  said  to  liim,  In  my  dream, 
beliold,  a  vine  was  before  me; 
And  in  tlie  vine  loere  three 
brandies:  and  it  teas  as  though  it 
budded,  and  her  blossoms  shot 
fortli;  and  the  clusters  thereof 
brought  forth  ripe  grapes. 

Num.  xiii,  23,  24.  And  they 
came  unto  the  brook  of  Eshcol, 
and  cut  down  from  thence  a 
branch  with  one  cluster  of  grapes, 
and  they  bare  it  between  two 
upon  a  stafT;  and  they  bmight  of 
tlie  pomegranates,  and  of  the  tigs. 
Tne  place  was  called  the  brook 
Eslicol,  because  of  the  cluster  of 
grapes  whicli  the  children  of 
Israel  cut  down  from  thence. 

1  Kings  iv,  25.  And  Judah  and 
Israel  dwelt  safely,  every  man 
under  his  vine  and  under  his  fig- 
tree,  from  Dan  even  to  Beer-sheba, 
all  the  days  of  Solomon. 

Qant.  vl,  11.  I  went  down  Into 
the  garden  of  nuts  to  see  the 
fruits  of  the  valley,  and  to  see 
whether  the  vine  flourished,  andL 
the  pomegranates  budded. 

Ezek.  XV,  2,  6.  Son  of  man 
Wliat  is  the  vine  tree  more  than 
any  tree,  or  than  a  b  anch  which 
is  among  the  trees  of  the  forest? 
Tlierefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
Goo,  AS  the  vine-tree  among  the 
trees  of  the  forest,  which  I  have 
givelf  to  tlie  fire  for  fuel,  so  will 
I  give  the  inhabitants  of  Jeru- 
salem. 

Eosea  xlv,  7.  They  that  dwell 
under  Ids  shadow  shall  return; 
they  shall  revive  as  tlie  corn,  and 
grow  as  the  vine:  the  scent  there- 
of Shall  be  as  the  wine  of  Lebanon. 


Gen.  xlix,  11.  Binding  his  foal 
unto  tlie  vine,  and  his  ass's  colt 
unto  the  choice  vine;  he  waslied 
his  garments  in  wine,  and  his 
clotlies  in  tlie  blood  of  grapes. 

Deut.  xxxii,  32.  For  their  vine 
is  of  the  vino  ni  Sodom,  and  of 
the  fields  of  Gomorrah:  their 
grapes  are  grapes  of  gall,  their 
clusters  are  bitter. 

Jot)  XV,  33.  He  shall  shake  off 
ilia  uuripe  grape  as  the  vine,  and 


shall  cast  ofif  hig  flower  as  the 
olive. 

fs.  Ixxx,  8.  Thou  hast  brought 
a  vine  out  of  Esypt;  thou  hast 
cast  out  the  healheu.  and  plauted 
it. 

Isa.  xxviii,  4.  And  the  glorious 
beauty,  which  is  on  the  head  of 
the  fat  valley,  sluiU  be  a  fading

Bakes,  that  I  may  not  destroy 
them  all. 

Jer.  a,  2i  Yet  I  had  planted

Btrange  vine  unto  me? 

Jer.  xlix.  9.  If  grape-gatherers

became  a  spreading  vine  of  low 
stature,  whose  brunches  turned 
toward  him,  and  the  roots  thereof 
were  under  him:  so  it  became  a 
vine,  and  brought  forth  branches, 
and  shot  forth  sprigs.  Tliere  was 
also  another  great  eagle  with 
great  wings  and  many  feathers: 
and,  behold,  this  vine  did  bend  her

might  water  it  by  the  furrows  of 
her  plantation.

of  the  vineyards;  but  mine  own 
vineyard  have  I  not  kept. 

Isa.  xvi,  8.  For  the  fields  of 
Heshhon  languish,  and  the  vine

gether unto  the  fowls  of  tlie 
mountains,  and  to  the  beasts  of

wine-presses,  and  suffer  thirst. 

Isa.  xvi,  Q,  10.  Therefore  I  will 
bewail  with  the  weeping  of  Jazer 
the  vine  of  Sibmah:  I  will  water 
thee  with  my  tears,  O  Heshbon, 
and  Elealeh;  for  the  shouting  for 
thy  sunmier  fruits,  and  for  thy 
harvest,  is  fallen.  And  gladness 
is  taken  away,  and  joy  out  of  the 
plentiful  fleld;  and  in  tlie  vine- 
yards tljore  shall  be  no  singing, 
neither  shall  there  be  shouting: 
the  treaders  shall  tread  out  no 
wine  in  their  pre;'ses;  I  have  made 
their  vintage  shouting  to  cease. 

Isa.  Ixiii,  2-5.  Wherefore  art 
thou  red  in  thine  apparel,  and  thy 
garments  like  him  that  treadeth 
in  the  wine-fat?  I  have  trodden 
the  wine-press  alone;  and  of  the 
people  there  was  none  with  me: 
for  I  will  tread  them  in  mine 
anger,  and  trample  them  in  my 
fury;  and  their  blood  shall  be 
sprinkled  upon  my  garments,  and 
1  will  stain  all  my  raiment.  For 
the  day  of  vengeance  is  in  mine 
heart,  and  the  year  of  my  re- 
deemed is  come.  And  I  looked, 
and  tliere  icas  none  to  help;  and  I 
wondered  that  there  loas  none  to 
uphold:  therefore  mine  own  arm 
brought  salvation  unto  me;  aud 
my  fury,  it  upheld  me. 

Jsa.  xvii,6.  Yet  gleaning  grapes 
shall  be  left  in  it,  as  the  shaking

fruii  lul  branches  thereof,  saith  the 
Lord  God  of  Israel. 

Jer.  vi,  9.  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts.  They  shall  thoroughly 
glean  the  remnant  of  Israel  as  a

grape-gatherer  into  the  baskets. 

Jer.  xlviil,  82,  33.  O  vine  of 
Sibmah,  I  will  weep  for  thee  with 
the  weeping  of  Jazei :  thy  plants 
are  gone  over  the  sea,  they  reach 
even  to  the  sea  of  Jazer:  the  spoiler 
is  fallen  upon  thy  summer  fruits 
and  upon  fliy  vintage.  And  joy 
and  gladness  is  taken  fiom  the 
plentiful  field,  and  from  the  land 
of  Moab;  and  I  have  caused  wine 
to  fail  from  the  wine  presses:  none 
shall  tread  with  shouting;  their 
ehoutiug;  shall  be  no  shouting-.

with  a  loud  cry  to  him  that  had 
the  sharp  sickle,  saying.  Thrust 
In  thy  sharp  sickle,  and  gatlier 
the  clusters  of  the  vine  of  the 
earth;  for  her  grapes  are  fully 
ripe.  And  the  angel  thrust  in  his 
Bickle  into  the  eartli,  and  gathered 
tlie  vine  of  the  earth,  and  cast  it 
into  the  gr>  at  wine-presa  of  the

Matth.yil,  16-20.  Ye  shall  know 
them  by  their  fruits.  Do  men  ga- 
ther grapes  of  thorns,  or  figs  of 
thistles?  Even  so  every  good  Iree 
bringeth  forth  good  fruit;  but  a 
corrupt  tree  bringeth  forth  evil 
fruit.  A  good  tree  cannot  bring 
forth  evil  fruit,  neither  can  a  cor- 
rupt tree  bring  forth  good  fruit. 
Every  tree  that  bringetli  not  forth 
good  fruit  is  hewn  down,  and  ca.st 
into  the  fire.  Wherefore  by  their 
fruits  ye  shall  know  them.

known  by  his  Iruit.

hewn  down,  and  cast  into  the

Lulce  vi,  43,  44.  For  a  good  tree 
bringeth  not  forth  corrupt  fruit;

bring  forth  good  fruit.  For  every 
tree  is  known  by  ids  own  fruit: 
for  of  thornsi  'men  do  not  gather 
figs,  nor  of  a  bramblo-hush  gather 
they  grapes.

titude of  years  thou  shait  increase 
the  price  tliereof,  and  according 
to  the  fewness  of  years  thou  shalt 
diminish  the  price  of  it:  fur  accord- 
ing  to  the  number  of  the  years  of 
the  fruiis  doth  he  sell  un^o  thee.

God  prepared  a  gourd,  and  made 
it  to  come  up  over  Jonah,  tliat  it 
might  be  a  shadow  over  his  head,

Jonah  was  exceeding  glad  of  the 
gourd.  Then  said  the  Lord,  Thou

In  a  night.

Num  xii,  6.  And  be  said,  Hear 
now  my  words:  If  there  be  a  pro- 
phet among  you, /the  LoBo  will 
make  myself  known  unto  liim  in 
a  vision,  and  will  speak  unto  hina 
in  a  dream. 

1  Sam.  ill,  1.  And  the  child 
Samuel  ministered  unto  the  Lord 
before  Eli.  And  the  word  of  the 
Lord  was  precious  in  those  days: 
there  loas  no  open  vision. 

2  (Jhron.  xxvi,  5.  And  he 
sought  God  in  the  days  of  Zech- 
ariah,  who  bad  understanding  in 
the  visions  of  God:  and  as  long  as 
he  sought  the  Loed,  God  made 
him  to  prosper. 

Ps  Ixxxix.  19.  Then  thou 
Bpakest  in  virion  to  thy  holy

Bald  unto  me,  The  prophets  pro- 
phesy lies  in  my  name:  I  sent 
them  not,  neither  have  I  com- 
manded them,  neither  spake  unto 
them:  they  prophesy  unto  you  a 
false  vision  and  divination,  and  a 
thing  of  nought,  and  the  deceit  of 
their  heart. 

Jer.  xxiii,  16.  Thus  saith  the 
Loed  of  hosts,  Hearken  not  unto 
the  words  of  the  prophets  that 
prophesy  unto  you:  they  make 
you  vain:  they  speak  a  vision  of 
their  own  heart,  and  not  out  of 
the  mouth  of  the  Loed. 

Dan.i,  17.  As  for  these  four 
children,  God  gave  them  know- 
ledge and  skill  in  all  learning  and 
wisdom:  and  Daniel  had  under- 
standing in  all  visions  and 
dreams. 

Hosea  xM,  10.  I  have  also 
spoken  by  the  prophets,  and  I

prophets.

Qen.:L\,l.  After  these  things i 


the  word  of  the  Lobd  came  unto 
Ahram  in  a  vision,  saying,  Fear 
not,  Abram:  I  am  thy  sliield,  and 
thy  exceeding  great  reward. 

Jacob. 
Gen.  xlvl,  2.    And  God  spake

And  he  said,  Here  am  I. 

Moses. 

Exod.  lii,  2.  And  the  Angel  of 
the  Lobd  appeared  unto  him  in  a 
flame  of  fire  out  of  the  midst  of  a 
bush:  and  he  looked,  and,  behold, 
the  bush  burned  with  fire,  and 
the  bush  was  not  consumed. 

Deut.  xxxlv,  10-12.  And  there 
arose  not  a  prophet  since  in  Israel 
like  unto  Moses,  whom  the  Loed 
knew  face  to  face;  In  all  the  signs 
and  the  wonders  which  the  Loed 
sent  him  to  do  in  the  land  of 
Egypt,  to  Pharaoh,  and  to  all  his 
servants,  and  to  all  his  land.  And

all  the  great  terror  which  Moses 
shewed  in  the  sight  of  all  Israel. 

Samttel. 
^  1  Sam.  i«,  1,  4,  7,  15.  And  the 
child  Samuel  ministered  unto  the 
Loed  before  Eli.  And  the  word 
of  the  Lord  was  precious  in  those 
days;  there  was  no  open  vision. 
The  Lord  called  Samuel:  and  he 
answered.  Here  am  I.  Now 
Samuel  did  not  yet  know  the 
Lobd,  neither  was  the  word  of  the 
Loed  yet  revealed  unto  him. 
And  Samuel  lay  until  the  morn- 
ing, and  opened  the  doors  of  the 
house  of  the  Loed.  And  Samuel 
feared  to  show  Eli  the  vision. 

Nathak. 
2  Sam.  vii,  4, 17.  And  it  came  to 
pass  that  night,  that  the  word  of 
the  LoE.-^  came  unto  Nathan,  say-

did  Nathan  speak  unto  David. 

Eliphaz. 
Job  iv,  12-16.  Now  a  thing  was 
secretly  brought  to  me,  and  mine 
ear  received  a  little  thereof.  In 
thoughts  from  the  visions  of  the 
night,  when  deep  sleep  falleth  on 
men.  Fear  came  upon  me,  and 
trembling,  which  made  all  my 
bones  to  shake.  Then  a  spirit 
passed  before  my  face;  the  hair  of 
my  flesh  stood  up:  It  stood  still, 
but  I  could  not  discern  the  form 
720 


thereof:  an  fmnge  M?.^.?  bpfore  mine 
eyes;  there  was  silence,  and  I 
heard  a  voice. 

Isaiah. 
Isa.  vl,  1.  In  the  year  that  kin? 
Uzziiih  died  I  saw  also  the  Lord 
sitting  upon  a  throne,  high  and 
lifted  up,  and  his  train  filled  the 
temple. 

EZEKIEIi. 

EzeTz.  i,  4.  And  I  looked,  and, 
behold,  a  whirlwind  came  out  of 
the  north,  a  great  cloud,  and  a 
fire  infolding  itself,  and  a  bright- 
ness xcas  about  it,  and  out  of  the 
midst  thereof  as  the  colour  of 
amber,  out  of_the  midst  of  the 
fire. 

Ezek.  viii,  4.  And,  behold,  the 
glory  of  the  God  of  Israel  was 
there,  according  to  the  vision  that 
I  saw  in  the  plain.  • 

Ezek.  X,  1.  Then  I  looked,  and, 
behold,  in  the  firmament  that  was 
above  the  head  of  the  cherubim 
there  appeared  over  them  as  it 
were  a  sapphire  stone,  as  the 
appearance  of  the  likeness  of  a 
throne. 

EzeJc.  xl,  24,  25.  Afterwards  the 
spirit  took  me  up,  and  [brought  me 
in  a  vision  by  the  Spirit  of  God 
into  Chaldea,  to  them  of  the  cap- 
tivity: so  tlie  vision  that  I  had 
seen  went  up  from  me.  Then  I 
spake  unto  them  of  the  captivity 
all  the  things  that  the  Loed  had 
showed  me.

Nebuchadnezzab. 

Dan.  ii,  28.  But  there  is  a  God  In 
heaven  that  revealeth  secrets,  and 
maketh  known  to  the  king 
Nebucliadnezzar  what  shall  be  la 
tlie  latter  days.  Thy  dream,  and 
the  visions  of  thy  head  upon  thy 
bed,  are  the^e. 

Dan.  iv,  5.  I  saw  a  dream 
whicii  made  me  afraid,  and  the 
thoughts  upon  my  bed,  and  the 
visions  of  my  head,  troubled  me. 

Daniel. 

Dan.  il,  19.  Then  was  the  secret 
revealed  unto  Daniel  in  a  night

God  of  heaven. 

Dan.  vil,  1.  In  the  firs!;  year  of

Buni  of  the  matters. 

Dan.  vii,  28.  Hitherto  is  the 
end  of  the  matter.  As  for  me 
Datiiel,  my  cogitations  much 
troubled  me,  and  my  countenance 
chang-^d  in  me;  but  I  kept  the 
matter  in  my  heart. 

Dan.  WW,  1,  2  8  9  15. 16  2P  27 

in  the  third  year  of  the  reign  of 
king  Belshazz  ir  a  vision  appeared 
tinto  me,ct'en  unto  me  Daniel,afrer 
thatvvhicli  appeared  unto  me  at  the 
first.  And  I  saw  in  a  vision;  and  it 
C:tme  to  pass,  when  I  saw,  tliat  I 
tOflSat  Shushan  in  the  palace, wliicli 
is  in  tlie  province  of  Elam;  and  I 
saw  in  a  vision,  and  I  was  by  the 
river  of  Ulai.  Tlie  he-goat  waxed 
very  great:  and  vvlien  he  was 
Btrona:,  the  great  horn  was  brol^en; 
and  for  It  came  up  four  notable 
ones,  toward  the  four  winds  of  hea- 
ven. And  out  of  one  of  them  came 
forth  a  little  horn,  which  waxed 
exceeding  great,  toward  the  south, 
and  toward  the  east,  and  toward 
tlie  pleasant  land.  And  it  came 
to  pasn,  wtien  \,even  I  Daniel,  had 
seen  the  vision,  and  sought  for 
the  meaning,  then,  behold,  there 
stood  befoie  me  as  the  appear- 
ance of  a  man.  And  I  heard  a 
m  in's  voice  between  the  banks  of 
Ulai,  which  called,  and  said,  Ga- 
briel, make  this  vian  to  under- 
stand the  vision.  And  the  vision 
of  the  evening  and  the  morning 
which  was  told  is  true:  wherefore 
shut  tliou  up  the  vision;  for  it 
shall  be  for  many  days.  And  I 
Daniel  fainted,and  was  sick  certa«n 
days:  afterward  I  rose  up,  and  did 
the  king's  business;  and  1  was 
astonished  at  the  viBion,  but  none 
understood  it. 

Dan.  X,  1,  7-9.  In  the  third 
year  of  Cs'rus  king  of  Persia  a 
tidng  was  revealed  unto  Daniel, 
whose  name  was  called  Belte- 
shazzar,  and  the  thing  was  true, 
but  tlie  time  appointed  loas  long: 
and  he  understood  the  thing,  and 
had  understanding  of  the  vision. 
And  I  Daniel  alone  saw  the  vision: 
for  the  men  that  were  with  me 
saw  not  the  vision;  but  a  great 
quaking  fell  upon  them,  so  that 
they  fled  to  hide  themselves. 
Therefore  I  was  left  alone,  and 
saw  tins  great  vision,  and  there 
remained  no  strength  in  me:  for 
my  comeliness  was  turned  in  me 
into  corruption,  and  1  retained  no 
strength.  Yet  heard  I  the  voice 
of  his  words:  and  when  1  heard 
the  voice  of  his  words,  tlien  was  I 
In  a  deep  sleep  on  my  face,  and 
my  face  toward  the  ground. 

Amos. 

Amos  ix,  1.    I  saw  the  Lord 

Btanding  upon  the  altar,  and  he 

said,  Smite  the  lintel  of  the  door, 

that  the  posts  may  shake:  and  cut 


them  in  the  head,  all  of  them:  and 
1  will  slay  the  last  of  them  with 
the  sword:  he  that  fleeth  of  them 
shall  not  flee  away;  and  he  that 
\  escapeth  of  them  shall  not  be  de- 
livered.

Ananias. 

Acts  ix,  10.  And  there  wag  a 
certain  disciple  at  Damascus, 
named  Anatdas;  and  to  him  said

And  he  said.  Behold,  I  am  here, 
Lord. 

Cornelius. 

Acts  X,  3.  He  saw  in  a  vision 
evidently  about  the  ninth  hour  of 
the  day  an  angel  of  Gol  coitdng 
into  him,  and  saying  unto  him, 
Curnehus. 

Paul. 

Acts  xxii,  18.  And  saw  hfm 
saying  unto  me.  Make  haste,  and 
get  thee  quickly  out  of  Jerusa- 
lem: for  they  will  not  receive  tliy 
testimony  concerning  me. 

2Cor.  xil,  1-4.  It  is  not  expedient 
for  me  doubtless  to  glory:  I  will 
come  to  visions  and  revelations 
of  the  Lord.  I  knew  a  man  in 
Christ  above  fourteen  years  ago, 
(wliether  in   the  body,  I  cannot 


tinne  a  short  space.  And  the 
beast  that  was.  and  is  not.  even 
he  is  the  eigiith.  and  is  of  the 
seven,  and  goeth  Into  perdition. 
And  the  ten  horns  whicli  thou 
sanest  are  ten  kings,  which  have 
received  no  kingdom  as  yet;  but 
receive  power  as  kings  one  hour 
witli  tlie  beast.  These  have  one 
mind,  and  sliall  give  tiieir  power 
atid  strength  unto  the  beast. 
The^e  sliali  make  war  with  the 
I^amb,  and  the  Lamb  sliall  over- 
come them:  for  he  is  Lord  of  lords, 
and  King  of  kings:  and  they  that 
are  with  hi  mi  are  called,  and 
chosen,  and  faithful.

figured before  them:  and  his  face

beliold,  there  appeared  unto  then? 
Moses  and  Ellas  talking  witb 
him. 

Luke  ix,  32.  33.  But  Peter  and 
they  that  were  wilii  him  were 
heavy  with  sleep:  and  when  they 
were  awake,  they  saw  his  glory, 
and  the  two  men  that  stood  with 
him.  And  it  came  to  pass,  aa 
they  departed  from  him,  Peter 
said  unto  Jesus,  Master,  it  is 
good  for  us  to  be  here:  and  let  ug 


tell;  or  whether  out  of  the  body,  i  "^ake  three  tabernacles;  one  foi 


I  cannot  tell:  God  knoweth;)  such 
an  one  caught  up  to  the  third 
heaven.  And  1  knew  such  a  man, 
(whether  in  the  hoily.  or  out  of 
the  body,  I  cannot  teU:  God  know- 
eth:) How  that  he  was  caught  up 
into  paradise,  and  heard  unspeak- 
able words,  wldcli  it  is  not  lawful 
for  a  man  to  utter. 

John. 

Eev.  vi,  1.  And  1  saw  when  the 
Lamb  opened  one  of  the  seals; 
and  I  heard  aa  it  were  the  noise 
of  thunder,  one  of  the  four  beasts 
saying,  Come  and  see. 

Bev.  xvil,  7-14.  And  the  an?el 
said  unto  me.  Wherefore  didst 
thou  marvel  ?  I  will  tell  thee  the 
mystery  of  the  woman,  and  of  the 
beast  that  carrieth  her,  which 
hath  the  seven  heads  and  ten 
horns.  The  beast  tnat  thou  saw- 
est  was,  and  is  not;  and  shall 
ascend  out  of  the  bottomless  pit, 
and  go  into  perdition:  and  they 
that  dwell  on  the  earth  shall 
wonder,  (who.se  names  were  not 
written  in  tlie  book  of  life  from 
the  foundati(m  ot  the  world.)  when 
they  behohl  the  beast  that  was, 
and  is  not,  and  yet  is.  And  here 
is  the  mind  which  hath  wisdom. 
The  seven  heads  are  seven  moun- 
tains, on  which  the  woman  sitteth. 
And  there  are  seven  kings:  five 
are  fallen,  and  one  is,  and  the 
other  is  not  yet  come ;  and 
when  he  coineth,  he  must  con-

for  Ellas:  not  knowing  what  he 
said. 

NIGHT  AND  SLEEP. 

1  Sam.  \x,  6.  And  he  said  unto 
him,  Behold  nuw,  there  is  in  thia 
city  a  man  of  God,  and  he  is  an 
honourable  man;  all  that  he  saitU 
Cometh  surely  to  pass:  now  let  ua 
go  thither;  peradventure  he  can 
show  us  our  way  that  we  should 
go. 

Esther  vi,  1.  On  that  night  could 
cot  the  king  sleep;  and  he  com- 
manded to  bring  the  book  of  re- 
cords of  the  Chronicles;  and  they 
were  read  before  the  king. 

Ps.  iil,  5.  I  laid  me  down  and 
slept,  I  awaked;  for  the  Lord  sus- 
tained me. 

Fs.  iv,  8.  I  will  both  lay  me 
down  in  peace,  and  sleep:  for  thou. 
Lord,  only  makt-st  me  dwell  In 
safety. 

Fs.  Ixxvi,  6.  The  stout-hearted 
are  spoiled,  they  have  slept  their 
sleep;  and  none  of  the  men  of 
might  have  found  their  hands. 

Frov.  iil,  24.  When  thou  liest 
down,  thou  Shalt  not  be  afraid; 
yea,  thou  shall  He  down,  and  thy 
sleep  shall  be  sweet. 

Frov.  iv,  16  For  they  sleep  not 
except  they  have  done  mischief; 
and  their  sleep  is  taken  away  uu- 
less  they  cause  some  to  fall.

Job  vii,  13, 14.  When  I  say.  My

Job  xxxiii,  14-17.  For  God

VISIONS  AK-D  DREAMS. 

Eccles.  v,  3,  7.  For  a  dream

For  in  the  niuli  itude  of  dreams  |

Isa.  xxix,  7,  8.  And  the  multi- 
tude of  all  the  nations  that  fl-;ht 
against  Ariel,  even  all  that  fight 
against  her  and  her  munition,  and

even  be  as  wdien  an  hungry  man

but  he  awaketh,  and  his  soul  is

ANXIETY  TO  INTERPRET 

THEM,    BUT    OFTEN 

DISAPPOINTED. 

Gen.  xl,  5-8.  And  they  dreamed 
a  dream  both  of  them,  each  man 
bis  dream  in  one  night,  each  man 
according  to  the  interpretation  of 
his  dream,  the  butler  and  the 
baker  of  the  king  of  Egypt,  which 
were  bound  in  the  prison.  And 
Joseph  came  in  unto  them  in  the 
morning,  and  looked  upon  them, 
and,  behold,  they  were  sad.  And 
he  asked  Pharaoh's  officers,  that 
ivere  with  him  in  the  ward  of  iiis 
lord's  house,  saying,  Wherefore 
look  ye  so  sadly  to-day?  And 
they  said  unto  him,  We  have 
dreamed  a  dream,  and  there  is  no 
interpreter  of  it.  And  Joseph 
said  unto  them.  Do  not  interpre- 
tations belong  to  God?  tell  me 
the7n,  1  pray  you. 

Gen.  xli,  8.  And  it  came  to  pass 
inthemorning,that  his  [Pharaoh's] 
spirit  was  troubled;  and  he  sent 
and  called  for  all  the  magicians 
of  Egypt,  and  all  the  wise  men 
thereof:  and  Pharaoh  told  them 
his  dreams;  but  there  was  none 
that  could  interpret  them  uuto 
Pharaoh. 

Daniel  il,  2-13.  Then  the  king 
commanded  to  call  the  magicians, 
aud  the  astrologers,  and  the  sor- 
cerers, and  the  cbaldeans,  for  to 
shew  the  king  his  dreams.  So  they 
came  and  stood  before  the  king. 
And  the  king  said  unto  them,  1 
have  dreamed  a  dream,  and  my 
spirit  was  troubled  to  know  the 
dream.  Then  spake  the  Chal- 
deans to  the  king  in  Syriack,  O 
king,  live  for  ever:  tell  thy  ser- 
vants the  dream,  and  we  will 
Shew  the  interpretation.  The 
king  answered  and  said  to  tlie 
Chaldeans,  The  thing  is  gone  from 
me:  if  ye  will  not  make  known 
unto  me  the  dream,  with  the  In- 
terpretation thereof,  ye  shall  be 
\  cut  lu  pieces,  and  yuur  houses 
722 


shall  be  mado  a  dunghill:  But  if 
ye  shew  the  dream,  and  the  in- 
terpretation thereof,  ye  shall  re- 
ceive of  me  gifts  and  rewards,  and 
great  honour:  therefore  shew  me 
the  dream,  and  the  iiiterpretatiou 
thereof.  They  answered.  ai,'-ain, 
and  said.  Let  the  king  lell  his 
servants  the  dream,  and  we  will 
shew  the  interpretation  of  it. 
The  kilng  answered  and  said,  I 
know  of  certainty  that  ye  would 
gain  the  time,  because  ye  see  the 
thing  is  gone  from  me.  But  if  ye 
will  not  make  known  unto  me  the 
dream,  there  is  but  one  decree  for 
you;  for  ye  have  prepared  lying 
and  corrupt  words  to  speak  before 
me,  till  the  time  be  changed: 
therefore  tell  me  the  dream,  and 
I  shall  know  that  ye  can  shew  me 
the  interpretation  thereof.  The 
Chaldeans  answered  before  the 
king,  and  said,  There  is  not  a  man 
upon  the  earth  that  can  shew  the 
king's  matter:  therefore  there  is 
no  king,  lord,  nor  ruler,  that  asked 
such  things  at  any  magician,  or 
astrologer,  or  Chaldean.  And  it 
is  a  rare  thing  that  the  king  re- 
quireth;  and  there  is  none  other 
that  can  shew  it  before  the  king, 
except  the  gods,  whose  dwelling 
is  not  with  flesh.  For  this  cause 
the  king  was  angry  and  very 
furious,  and  commanded  to  de- 
stroy all  the  wise  men  of  Babylon. 
And  the  decree  went  forth  that 
the  wise  men  should  be  slain;  and 
they  sought  Daniel  and  his  tellows 
to  he  slain. 

Daniel  iv,  6,  7.  Therefore  made 
I  a  decree  to  bring  in  all  the  wise 
men  of  Babylon  before  me,  that 
they  might  make  known  uuto  me 
the  interpretation  of  the  dream. 
Then  came  in  tlie  magicians,  the 
astrologers, the  Chaldeans,  and  the 
soothsayers:  and  I  told  the  dream 
before  them;  but  they  did  not; 
make  known  unto  me  the  inter- 
pretation thereof. 

THE  TRUE  INTERPRETA- 
TION FROxM  GOD. 
Gen.  xll,  15,  16.  And  Pharaoh 
said  unto  Joseph,  I  have  dreamed 
a  dream,  and  there  is  none  that 
can  interpret  it:  and  I  liave  heard 
say  of  thee,  that  thou  canst  un- 
derstand a  dream  to  interpret  it. 
And  Joseph  answered  Pharaoh, 
saying.  It  is  not  in  me:  God  shall 
give  Pharaoh  an  answer  of  peace. 

Daniel  1,  17.  As  for  these  four 
children,  God  gave  them  know- 
ledge and  skill  in  all  learning  and 
wisdom:  and  Daniel  had  under- 
standing in  all  visions  and  dreams. 

Daniel  ii,  14-16,24-30,38.  Then 
Daniel  answered  with  counsel  and 
wisdom  to  Arioch  the  captain  of 
the  king's  guard,  which  was  gone 
forth  to  slay  the  wise  me?»  of 
I  Babylon:    lie  answered  aud  said 


VISIONS  AND  DREAMS. 


to  Arioch  the  king's  captain,  Why 
is  the  decree  so  hasty  from  the 
king?  Then  Arioch  made  the 
thing  linowa  to  Daniel.  Then 
Daniel  went  in,  and  desired  of 
the  king  that  he  would  give  him 
time,  and  that  he  would  shew  the 
king  the  interpretation.  There- 
fore Daniel  went  in  unto  Arioch, 
"Whom  the  king  had  ordained  to 
destroy  the  wise  men  of  Baby- 
lon: he  went  and  said  thus 
unto  him,  Destroy  not  the  wise 
men  of  Babylon:  bring  me  In  be- 
fore the  king,  and  I  will  shew 
tinto  the  king  the  interpretation. 
Then  Arioch  brought  in  Danit  1 
before  the  king  in  haste,  and  said 
thus  unto  him,  I  have  found  a 
man  o^the  captives  of  Judah  that 
will  make  known  unto  the  king 
the  interpretation.  The  king  an- 
swered and  said  to  Daniel,  whose 
name  loas  Belteshazzar,  Art  thou 
able  to  make  known  unto  me  the 
dream  which  I  have  seen,  and  the 
interpretation  thereof?  Daniel  an- 
swered in  the  presence  of  the 
king,  and  said.  The  secret  which 
the  king  hath  demanded  cannot 
the  wise  men,  the  astrologers,  the 
magicians,  the  soothsayers,  shew 
unto  tlie  king;  But  there  is  a  God 
in  heaven  that  revealeth  secrets, 
and  maketh  known  to  the  king 
Nebuchadnezzar  what  shall  be  in 
the  latter. days.  Thy  dream,  and 
the  visions  of  thy  head  upon  thy 
bed,  are  these;  As  for  thee,  O 
king,  thy  thoughts  came  into  thy 
mind  upon  thy  bed  what  should 
come  to  pass  hereafter;  and  he 
that  revealeth  secrets  maketh 
known  to  thee  what  shall  come  to 
pass.  But  as  for  me,  this  secret 
is  not  revealed  to  me  for  any  wis- 
dom that  1  have  more  than  any 
living,  but  for  their  sakes  that 
shall  make'  known  the  interpreta- 
tion to  the  king,  and  that  thou 
might  est  know  the  thoughts  of 
'  thy  heart.  Tliis  is  the  dream 
and  we  will  tell  the  interpretation 
thereof  before  the  king. 

Dan.  iv,  8,  9.  But  at  the 
last  Daniel  came  in  before  me, 
(whose  name  loas  Belteshazzar, 
according  to  the  name  of  my 
god,  and  in  whom  is  the  spirit  of 
the  holy  gods,)  and  before  him  I 
told  the  dream,  saying,  O  Belte- 
shazzar, master  of  the  magicians, 
because  I  know  that  the  spirit  of 
the  holy  gods  is  in  thee,  and  no 
secret  troubleth  thee,  tell  me  the 
visions  of  my  dream  that  I  have 
seen,  and  the  interpretation  there- 
of. 

Dan.  V,  11-14, 16,  17.  There  Is 
a  man  in  thy  kingdom  in  whom  is 
the  spirit  of  the  holy  gods:  and,  in 
the  days  of  thy  father,  light  and 
understanding,  and  wisdom,  like 
the  wisdom  of  the  gods,  was  found 
in  him;  whom  the  king  Nebuchad- 
nezzar thy  father,  the  king,  /  say, 


thy  father,  made  master  of  the 
magicans,  astrologers,  Chaldeans, 
and  soothsayers;  Forasn  nch  as  an 
excellent  spirit,  and  knowledge, 
and  understanding,  interpreting 
of  dreams,  and  shewing  of  hard 
sentences,  and  dissolving  of 
doubts,  were  found  in  the  same 
Daniel,  whom  the  king  named 
Belteshazzar:  now  let  Daniel  be 
called,  and  he  will  shew  the  inter- 
pretation. Then  was  Daniel 
brought  in  before  the  king.  And 
the  king  spake,  and  said  unto 
Daniel,  Art  thou  that  Daniel, 
whicli  art  of  the  children  of  the 
captivity  of  Judah,  whom  the 
king  my  father  brought  out  of 
Jewry?  I  have  even  heard  of 
thee,  that  the  spirit  of  the  gods  is 
in  thee,  and  that  light,  and  under- 
standing, and  excellent  wisdom,  is 
found  in  thee.  And  I  have  heard 
of  thee,  that  thou  canst  make  in- 
terpretations, and  dissolve  doubts: 
now,  if  thou  canst  read  the  writ- 
ing, and  make  known  to  me  the 
interpretation  thereof,  thou  shalt 
be  clothed  with  scarlet,  and  have 
a  chain  of  gold  about  thy  neck, 
and  Shalt  be  the  third  ruler  in  the 
kingdom.  Then  Daniel  answered 
and  said  before  the  king,  Let  thy 
gifts  be  to  thyself,  and  give  thy 
rewards  to  another;  yet  I  will 
read  the  writing  unto  the  king, 
and  make  known  to  him  the  inter- 
pretation. 

INSTANCES  IN  SCRIPTURE. 
Abimelech. 
Gen.  XX,  3-8.  But  God  came  to 
Abimelech  in  a  dream  by  night, 
and  said  to  him,  Behold,  thou  art 
but  a  dead  man,  for  the  woman 
which  thou  hast  taken ;  for  she  is 
a  man's  wife.  But  Abimelech  had 
not  come  near  her:  and  he  said, 
LoED,  wilt  thou  slay  also  a  righte- 
ous nation  ?  Said  he  not  unto  me, 
She  is  my  sister?  and  she,  even 
she  herself  said,  He  is  my  brother. 
In  the  integrity  of  my  heart,  and 
innocency.of  my  hands,  have  I 
done  this.  And  God  said  unto  him 
in  a  dream.  Yea,  I  know  that  thou 
didst  this  in  the  integrity  of  thy 
heart;  for  I  also  withheld  thee 
from  sinning  against  me:  therefore 
sullered  ;l  thee  not  to  touch  her. 
Nov?  therefore  restore  the  man 
his  wife;  for  he  is  a  prophet,  and 
he  shall  pray  for  thee,  and  thou 
Shalt  live:  and  if  thou  restore  her 
not,  know  thou  tliat  thou  shalt 
surely  die,  thou  and  all  that  are 
thine.  Therefore  Abimelech  rose 
early  in  the  morning,  and  called 
all  his  servants,  and  told  all  these 
things  in  their  ears:  and  the  men 
were  sore  afraid. 

Jacob. 

Gen.  xxviii,  12,  15.     Axiu   he 

dreamed,  and  behold  a  ladder  set 

up  on  the  earth,  and  the  top  of  it 

723 


reached  to  heavpn;  ard  behold 
the  angels  of  God  ascending  and 
descending  on  it.  And,  behold,  I 
am  with  thee,  and  will  keep  thee 
in  all  places  whither  thou  goest, 
and  win  bring  thee  again  into  this 
land;  for  I  will  not  leave  thee,  un- 
til I  have  done  that  whic''  ^  have 
spoken  to  thee  of. 

Gen.  xxxi,  10, 11.  And  it  came 
to  pass  at  the  time  that  the  cattle 
conceived,  that  I  lifted  up  mine 
eyes,  and  saw  in  a  dream,  and,  be- 
hold, the  rams  which  leaped 
upon  the  cattle  were  ring-straked, 
speckled,  and  grisled.  A«i  the 
angel  of  God  spake  unto  me  in  a 
dream,  sayings,  Jacob.  And  I  said, 
Here  am  I. 

Laban. 
Gen.  xxxi,  24.  And  God  came  to 
Laban  the  Syrian  in  a  dream  by 
night,  and  said  unto  him.  Take 
heed  that  thou  speak  not  to  Jacob 
either  good  or  bad. 

Joseph. 
Gen.  xxxvii,  5-10.  And  Joseph 
dreamed  a  dream,  and  he  told  it 
his  brethren :  and  they  hated  him 
yet  the  more.  And  he  said  unto 
them,  Hear,  I  pray  you,  this  dream 
which  I  have  dreamed:  For,  be- 
hold, we  were  binding  sheaves  in 
the  field,  and,  lo,  my  sheaf  arose, 
and  also  stood  upright ;  and,  be- 
hold, your  sheaves  stood  round 
about,  and  made  obeisance  to  my 
sheaf.  And  his  brethren  said  to 
him,  Shalt  thou  indeed  reign 
over  us?  or  shalt  thou  indeed 
have  dominion  over  us?  And 
they  hated  him  yet  the  more  for 
his  dreams,  ana  for  his  words. 
And  he  dreamed  yet  another 
dream,  and  told  it  his  brethren, 
and  said.  Behold,  I  have  dreamed 
a  dream  more;  and,  behold,  the 
sun,  and  the  moon,  and  the  eleven 
stars,  made  obeisance  to  me.  And 
he  told  it  to  his  father,  and  to  his 
brethren:  and  his  father  rebuked 
him,  and  said  unto  him.  What  is 
this  dream  that  thou  hast  dream- 
ed? Shalll,  and  tliy  mother,  and 
thy  brethren,  indeed  come  to  bow 
down  ourselves  to  thee  to  the 
earth? 

The  Chief  Butler. 
Gen.  xl,  9-18.  And  the  chief 
butler  told  his  dream  to  Joseph, 
and  said  to  him.  In  my  dream,  be- 
hold, a  vine  was  before  me ;  And 
in  the  vine  toere  three  branches: 
and  It  was  as  though  it  budded, 
and  her  blossoms  sliot  forth  ;  and 
the  clusters  thereof  brougiit  forth 
ripe  grapes:  And  Pliaraoh's  cup 
was  in  my  hand:  and  I  took  the 
grapes,  and  pressed  them  Into 
Pharaoh's  cup,  and  I  gave  the  cup 
Into  Pharaoh's  hand.  And  Joseph 
said  unto  him.  This  is  the  Inter- 
pretation of  it:  The  three  branches 


VISIONS  AND  DREAMS. 


are  three  <Tays.  Yet  within  three 
days  shall  Pliaruoii  lift  \ip  thine 
head,  and  restore  thee  unto  thy 
place;  and  thou  shall  deliver  Pha- 
raoh's cup  into  his  iiand,  after  the 
former  manner  when  thou  vrast 
bis  butler. 

The  Chief  Baker. 
Gen.  x\,  16-19.  When  the  chief 
bnker  saw  that  the  Interpretation 
was  good,  he  said  unto  Joseph,  I 
also  vas  in  my  dream,  and,  behold, 
I  had  three  white  baskets  on  my 
head.  And  In  tlie  uppermost 
basket  there  was  of  all  manner  of 
bake-nieats  lor  Pharaoh;  and  the 
birds  did  eat  them  out  of  the  bas- 
ket upon  my  head.  And  Joseph 
answered  and  said.  This  fethe  in- 
terpretation thereof:  Tiie  three 
baskets  are  three  days.  Yet  with- 
in three  days  shall  Pharaoh  lift 
upthy  head  fri)n)  off  thee,and  shall 
haiif?  thee  on  a  tree;  and  the  birds 
shall  eat  thy  flesh  from  off  thee. 

Gen.  xl,  21, 22.  And  he  restored 
the  cliief  butler  unto  his  butler- 
ehip  affain;  and  he  grave  the  cup 
into  Pliaraoh's  hand:  But  he  hang- 
ed the  chief  baker,  as  Joseph  had 
Interpreted  to  them. 

Gen.  xli,  11-13.  And  we  dreamed 
a  dream  in  one  night,  I  and  he: 
we  dreamed  eacli  man  according 
to  the  interpretation  of  his  dream. 
And  there  teas  there  with  us  a 
young  man,  an  Hebrew,  servant 
to  the  captain  of  the  guard;  and 
we  told  him,  and  he  interpreted 
to  us  our  dreams:  to  each  man 
according  to  his  dream  he  did  in- 
terpret. And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
he  interpreted  to  us,  so  it  was; 
me  he  restored  unto  mine  office, 
and  him  he  hanged. 

PnAnAon. 

ffen.xll,l-7  17-32.  And  It  came 
to  pass  at  the  end  of  two  full 
years,  that  Pharaoh  dreamed;  and, 
behold,  he  stood  by  the  river. 
And,  behold,  ttiere  came  up  out 
of  tlie  river  seven  well-favoured 
kine.and  fat-fleshed;  and  they  fed 
In  a  meadow.  And,  behold,  seven 
other  kino  came  up  after  them 
out  of  the  river,  111-lavoured  and 
lean-fleshed ;  and  stood  by  the 
other  kine,  upon  the  brink  of  the 
river.  And  the  ill-favoured  and 
lean-fleslied  kine  did  eat  up  the 
seven  well-favoured  and  fat  kine. 
8o  Pharaoh  awoke.  And  he  slept, 
and  dreamed  the  second  time: 
and,  behold,  seven  ears  of  corn 
came  up  upon  one  stalk,  rank  and 
good.  And,  behold,  seven  thin 
ears,  and  blasted  with  the  east 
wind,  sprung  up  after  them.  And 
the  seven  thin  ears  devoured  the 
seven  rank  and  full  ears.  And 
Pharaoh  awuke,  and,  behold,  it 
toas  a  dream.    And  Pharaob  said 


unto  Joseph,  In  my  dream,  be- 
hold, I  stood  upon  the  bank  of 
the  river:  And,  behold,  there  carne 
up  out  of  the  river  seven  kine, 
fat-fleshed,  and  well-favoured ; 
and  they  fed  in  a  meadow:  And, 
behold,  seven  other  kine  came  up 
after  them,  poor  and  very  ill-fa- 
voured and  lean-fleshed,  such  as  1 
never  saw  la  all  the  land  of  Egypt 
for  badness:  And  the  lean  and  the 
ill-favoured  kine  did  eat  up  the 
first  seven  fat  kine.  And  when 
they  had  eaten  them  up,  it  could 
not  be  known  that  they  had  eaten 
them;  but  they  were  still  ill-fi- 
voured,  as  at  the  beginning.  So 
I  awoke.  And  I  saw  in  my  dream, 
and,  behold,  seven  ears  came  up  in 
one  stalk,  full  and  good:  And,  be- 
hold.seven  ears,withered,thin  mid 
blasted  with  the  east  wind,  sprung 
up  after  them:  And  the  thin  ears 
devoured  the  seven  good  ears. 
And  I  told  this  unto  the  magi- 
cians; but  there  was  none  that 
could  declare  it  to  me.  And  Jo- 
seph said  unto  Pharaoh,  The 
dream  of  Pharaoh  is  one:  God 
hath  shewed  Pharaoh  what  he  is 
about  to  do.  The  seven  good 
kine  are  seven  years;  and  the 
seven  good  ears  are  seven  years: 
the  dream  is  one.  And  the  seven 
thin  and  ill-favoured  kine  that 
came  up  after  them,  are  seven 
years;  and  the  seven  empty  ears, 
blasted  with  the  east  wind,  shall 
be  seven  years  of  famine.  This  is 
the  thing  which  I  have  spoken 
unto  Pharaoh:  What  God  is  about 
to  do  he  Bhoweth  unto  Pharaoh. 
Behold,  there  come  seven  years 
of  great  plenty  throughout  all  the 
land  of  Egypt:  And  there  shall 
arise  after  them  seven  years  of 
famine;  and  all  the  plenty  sliall 
be  forgotten  in  the  land  of  Egypt; 
and  the  famine  shall  consume  the 
land;  And  the  plenty  shall  not  he 
known  In  the  land  by  reason  of 
that  famine  following;  for  it  shall 
be  very  grievous.  And  for  tliat 
the  dream  was  doubled  unto  Pha- 
raoh twice;  it  is  because  the  thing 
is  established  by  God,  and  God 
will  shortly  bring  it  to  pass. 

MlDIAKITE  SOLDIBB. 

Jud.  vll,  13-15.  And  when 
Gideon  was  come,  behold,  there 
was  a  man  that  told  a  dream  unto 
his  fellow,  and  said,  Behold,  I 
dreamed  a  dream,  and,  lo,  a  cake 
of  barley  bread  tumbled  into  the 
host  of  Mldlan,  and  came  unto  a 
tent,  and  smote  it  that  it  fell,  and 
overturned  it,  that  the  tent  lay 
along.  And  his  fellow  answered 
and  said,  This  is  nothing  else  save 
the  sword  of  Gideon  the  son  of 
Joash,  a  man  of  Israeh  for  Into 
his  hand  hath  God  delivered 
Midlan,  and  all  the  host.  And  it 
was  80,  when  Gideon  heard  the 
telling  of  the  dreanx,  and  tlie  in- 
724 


tcrpretation  thereof,  that  he  wor- 
shipped, and  returned  into  the 
host  of  Israel,  and  said.  Arise;  for 
tlie  Lord  hath  delivered  into  vour 
hand  the  host  of  Midlan. 

Solomon. 

1  Kings  iii,  5,  8-15.  In  Glbeon 
the  LoKo  appeared  to  S  lomon  in 
a  dneam  by  night:  and  God  said, 
Ask  what  I  sliall  give  thee.  And 
tiiy  servant  is  in  the  midst  of  thy 
people  which  thou  hast  cliosen,  a 
great  people,  that  cannot  benum- 
l.'ered  nor  counted  for  multitude. 
Give  tlierefore  thy  servant  an  un- 
(lersianding  heart  to  judge  thy  peo- 
ple, that  I  may  discern  between 
good  ami  bad:  for  who  is  eble  to 
judge  this  thy  so  great  a  people? 
And  the  speech  pleased  the  Lorp, 
that  Solomon  had  asked  this  thing. 
And  God  said  unto  him,  Because 
tliou  hast  asked  this  thing,  and 
hast  not  asked  for  thyself  lono: 
lite;  neither  hast  asked  riches  for 
thyself,  nor  hast  asked  the  lite  of 
thine  en  mies;  but  hast  asked  for 
tliyself  understanding  to  discern 
judgment;  Behold,  1  have  done 
according  to  thy  words:  lo,  I  have 
given  tliee  a  wise  and  an  un- 
derstimding  heart;  so  that  there 
was  none  like  thee  before  thee, 
neither  after  thee  shall  any  arise 
like  unto  thee.  And  I  have  also 
given  thee  that  which  thou  hast 
not  asked,  both  riches  and  honour: 
so  that  there  shall  not  be  any 
among  the  kings  like  unto  thee 
all  thy  days.  And  if  thou  wilt 
walk  in  my  ways,  to  keep  my  sta- 
tutes and  my  commandments,  as 
thy  father  David  did  walk,  then  I 
will  lengthen  thy  days.  And  So- 
lomon awoke;  and,  behold,  it  was 
a  dream. 

Nebuchadnezzab. 

Dan.  li,  1,  31-45.    And  In  the 

second  year  of  the  reign  of  Ne- 
buchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar 
dreamed  dreams,  wherewith  his 
spirit  was  troubled,  and  his  sleep 
brake  trom  him.  Thou,  O  king, 
sawest,  and  behold  a  great  Image. 
This  great  image,  whose  briglit- 
ness  was  excellent,  stood  before 
thee;  and  the  form  thereof  teas 
terrihie.  This  image's  head  loas 
of  fine  gold,  his  breast  and  his 
arms  of  silver,  his  belly  and  his 
thighs  of  brass.  His  legs  of  iron, 
his  leet  part  of  iron  and  part 
of  clay.  Thou  sawest  till  that 
a  stone  was  cut  out  without 
hand.s  which  smote  the  innige 
upon  his  feet  that  toere  of  iron 
and  clay,  and  brake  them  to 
pieces.  Then  was  the  iron,  the 
clay,  the  brass,  the  tilvcr,  and  the 
g)ld.  broken  to  pieces  together, 
an  1  became  like  the  clialT  of  the 
summer  thrashing-floors;  and  the 
wind  carried  theiu  away,  that  no 
place  was  found  for  them:  and 


the  stone  that  smote  the  Imng'e 
became  a  great,  nionntain,  and 
filled  the  whole  earth.  Thou, 
O  king,  art  a  king  of  kings : 
for  the  God  of  heaven  hath  given 
thee  a  kingdom,  power,  and 
strength,  and  glory.  And  wliere- 
Boever  the  chiUlreu  of  men  dwell, 
the  beasts  of  the  field,  and  tlie 
fowls  (if  the  lieaveu,  hath  he  given 
Into  thine  hand,  and  hath  made 
thee  ruler  over  thera  all,  Tliou 
art  this  head  of  gold.  And  after 
thee  shall  arise  another  kingdom 
Inferior  to  thee,  and  another  third 
kingdom  of  brass,  wiiich  shall 
bear  rule  over  all  the  earth.  And 
the  fourth  kingdom  shall  be  strong 
as  iron:  forasmuch  as  iron  hreak- 
eth  in  pieces  and  suhdueth  all 
things;  and  as  iron  that  breaketh 
all  these,  shall  It  break  in  pieces 
and  bruise.  And  whereas  thou 
Bawest  the  feet  and  toes,  part  of 
potter's  clay,  and  part  of  iiH)n,  the 
kingdom  shall  be  divided;  but 
there  shall  be  in  it  of  the  strength 
of  the  iron,  forasmuch  as  thou 
Bawest  the  iron  mixed  with  miry 
Clay.  And  as  the  toes  of  the  feet 
irere  part  of  iron,  and  part  of  clay; 
so  the  kingdom  shall  he  panly 
Strong,  and  partly  broken.  And 
Whereas  thou  sawest  iron  mixed 
with  miry  clay,  they  shall  mingle 
themselves  with  the  seed  of  men; 
but  they  shall  not  cleave  one  to 
another,  even  as  iron  is  not  mixed 
with  clay.  And  in  the  days  of 
these  kings  shall  the  God  of  hea- 
ven set  up  a  kingdom,  which  shall 
never  be  destroyed:  and  the  king- 
dom shall  not  be  left  to  other 
people,  hut  it  sliall  break  in  pieces 
and  consume  all  these  kingdoms, 
and  it  shall  stand  for  ever.  For- 
asmuch as  thou  sawest  that  the 
Stone  was  cut  out  of  the  mountain 
without  hands,  and  that  it  brake 
in  pieces  the  iron,  the  brass,  the 
clay,  the  silver,  and  the  gold ;  the 
great  God  hath  made  known  to 
the  king  what  shall  come  to  pass 
hereafter:  and  the  dream  Ascer- 
tain, and  the  interpretation  thereof 
sure. 

Dan.  lv,4,  5, 10-24.  I  Nebuchad- 
nezzar was  at  rest  in  ndue  house, 
and  flourisiiing  in  my  palace:  I 
saw  a  dream  which  made  me 
afraid,  and  the  thoughts  upon  my 
bed  and  the  visions  of  my  head 
troubled  me.     Thus  W€,r6    the 


VISIONS  AND  DREAMS. 

visions  of  mine  head  In  my  bed:  I 
saw,  and  beliold  a  tree  in  the 
midst  of  the  earth,  and  the  height 
thereof  tooa  great.  The  tree 
grew,  and  was  strong,  and  the 
height  thereof  reached  unto  hea- 
ven, and  the  sight  thereof  to  the 
end  of  all  the  earth.  The  leaves 
thereof  were  fair,  and  the  fruit 
thereof  much,  and  In  it  teas  meat 
for  all:  the  beasts  of  the  field  had 
shadow  under  it,  and  the  fowls  of 
the  heaven  dwelt  in  the  boughs 
thereof,  and  all  flesh  was  fed  of  it. 
I  saw  la  the  visions  of  my  head 
upon  my  bed,  and,  behold,  a 
watcher  and  an  holy  one  came 
down  from  heaven:  He  cried 
aloud,  and  said  thus.  Hew  doAvn 
the  tree,  and  cut  off  his  branches, 
shake  off  his  leaves,  and  scatter 
his  fruit:  let  the  beasts  get  away 
from  under  it,  and  the  fowls  from 
his  branches:  Nevertheless,  leave 
the  stump  of  his  roots  in  the 
earth,  even  with  a  band  of  iron 
and  brass,  in  the  tender  grass  of 
the  field;  and  let  It  be  wet  with 
the  dew  of  heaven,  and  let  his 
portion  be  with  the  beasts  in  the 
grass  of  the  earth:  Let  his  heart 
he  changed  from  man's,  and  let  a 
beast's  heart  be  given  unto  him; 
and  let  seven  times  pass  over 
him.  This  matter  is  by  the  de- 
cree of  the  watchers,  and  the 
demand  by  the  word  of  the  holy 
ones;  to  the  intent  that  the  living 
may  know  that  the  most  High 
ruleth  in  the  kingdom  of  men, 
and  giveth  It  to  whomsoever  he 
will,  and  setteth  up  over  It  the 
basest  of  men.  This  dream  1  king 
Nebuchadnezzar  have  seen.  Now 
thou,  O  Belteshazzar,  declare 
the  interpretation  thereof,  foras- 
much as  all  the  wise  men  of  my 
kingdom  are  not  able  to  make 
known  unto  me  the  interpretation: 
but  thou  art  able;  for  the  spirit  of 
the  holy  gods  is  in  thee.  Then 
Daniel  (whose  name  teas  Belte- 
shazzar) was  astonied  f;r  one 
hour,  and  his  thoughts  troubled 
him.  The  king  spake,  and  said, 
Belteshazzar,  let  not  the  dream, 
or  the  interpretation  thereof, 
trouble  thee.  Belteshazzar  an- 
swered and  said.  My  lord,  the 
dream  be  to  them  that  hate  thee, 
and  the  iuterpretatiim  tliereof  to 
thine  enemies.  The  tree  that 
1  thou  sawest,  which  grew,  and  was 
725 


strong,  whoso  height  renchei 
unto  the  heaven,  and  the  sight 
thereof  to  all  the  earth;  Whose 
leaves  were  fair,  and  the  fruit 
thereof  much,  tmd  In  it  roas  meat 
for  all;  under  whicli  the  beasts  of 
the  field  dwelt,  and  upon  whose 
branches  the  fowls  of  the  heaven 
had  their  habitation:  It  is  tliou,  O 
king,  thdt  art  grown  and  become 
strong:  for  thy  great nrs  •  is  grown, 
and  reichetli  unto  heaven, and  thy 
dominion  to  the  end  of  the  earth. 
And  whereas  the  king  saw  a 
watcher  and  an  holy  one  coming 
down  from  heaven,  and  saying, 
Hew  the  tree  down,  and  destroy 
it;  yet  leave  the  stump  of  the 
roots  thereof  in  the  earth,  even 
with  a  band  of  iron  and  brass,  in 
the  tender  grass  of  the  field;  and 
let  it  be  wet  witli  the  dew  of  hea- 
ven, and  let  his  portion  be  with 
the  beasts  of  the  field  till  seven 
times  pass  over  him;  This  is  the 
interpretation,  O  king,  and  this  is 
the  decree  of  the  most  11  igh  which 
is  come  upon  my  lord  the  king. 

Daniel. 
Dan.  vli,  1.  In  the  first  year  of 
Belshuzziir  king  of  Haiiylon, 
Daniel  had  a  dream  and  vi8i(ms 
of  his  head  upon  his  bed:  then  he 
wrote  the  dream,  and  told  the 
simi  of  the  matters. 

Wise  Men. 
Malth.W,  12.  And  being  warned 
of  God  in  a  dream  that  they 
should  not  return  to  Herod,  they 
departed  into  their  own  country 
another  way. 

Joseph. 
Matth.W,  13.  And  when  they 
were  departed,  behold,  the  angel 
of  the  Lord  appeareth  to  Joseph 
in  a  dream,  saying.  Arise,  and 
take  the  young  child  and  his 
mother,  and  flee  into  Egypt,  and 
be  thou  there  until  1  bring  thee 
word:  for  Herod  will  seek  the 
young  child  to  destroy  him. 

Pilate's  Wife, 
Matth.  xxvii,  19.  Wijen  he  was 
set  down  on  the  judgment-seat 
his  wife  sent  unto  him,  saying. 
Have  thou  nothing  to  do  with 
that  just  man:  for  1  have  buffered 
many  things  this  day  iu  a  dream 
becauae  of  him.

Ps.  Ix,  6.  O  thou  enemy,  de- 
Btx'uctions  are  come  to  a  perpetual 
eid:  ani  thou  liast  destroj'ed 
cities;  tlieir  memorial  la  perished 
tvith  them. 

Ps.  XXXV,  20.  For  they  speak 
not  peace;  but  they  devise  deceit- 
ful matter.^  against  them  that  are 
guiet  in  the  land. 

Ps.  Ixviii,  30 Scatter 

thou  the  people  that  delight  in 
Fvar. 

Ps.  cxx,  6,7.  My  soul  hath  long

[  am  for  peice:  but  when  I  speak, 
Ihey  are  for  war. 

Ps.  cxl,  1, 2.  Deliver  me,  O  Lord, 
from  tlie  evil  man:  preserve  me 
from  the  violent  man;  Which 
imagine  mischiefe  in  </<e/r  heart: 
continually  are  they  gathered  to- 
gether/or  war. 

Prov.  xii,  20.  Deceit  is  in  the 
heart,  of  them  that  imagine  evil : 
but  to  the  counsellors  of  peace  is 
joy. 

Ezelc.  vil,  25.  Destruction  Com- 
eth; and  tliev  shall  seek  peace, 
and  there  shall  be  none. 

Amos  i.  11.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord.  For  three  transgressions  of 
E  loin  niid  for  four.  I  will  not  turn 
away  the  punishment  thereof;  be- 
cause he  did  pursue  his  brother 
with  the  sword,  and  did  cast  off 
all  pity,  and  his  anger  did  tear 
perpetually,  and  he  kept  his  wrath 
for  ever. 

Obnd.  14.  Neither  shouldest 
thou  have  stood  in  the  cross-way, 
to  cut  off  tliose  of  his  that  did 
escipe;  neither  shouldest  thou 
have  delivered  up  those  of  his 
that  did  remain  in  the  day  of  dis- 
tress. 

Matth.  xxiv,  6.  Ana  ye  shall

Mark  xlil,7, 8.  And  when  ye  shall 
hear  of  wars,  and  rumours  of  wars, 
be  ye  not  trouhled:  for  such  things

not  be  yet.  For  nation  sliall  rise 
against  nation,  and  liingdom 
against  kingdouij  and  there  shall 


be  earthquakes  in  \dtve,r8  places, 
and  there  shall  be  famines  and 
troubles:  these  are  the  beginnings 
of  sorrows. 

Lulze  ill,  14.  And  the  soldiers 
likewise  demanded  of  him,  saying. 
And  what  shall  we  do?  And  he 
said  unto  them,  Do  violence  to  no 
man,  neither  accuse  any  falsely; 
and  be  content  with  your  wages. 

Luke  xxi,  9,10.  But  when  ye  shall 
hear  of  wars  and  commotions,  be 
not  terrified:  for  these  things  must

not  by  and  by.  Then  said  he  unto 
them.  Nation  shall  rise  against 
nation,  and  kingdom  against  king- 
dom. 

James  Iv,  1,  2.  From  whence 
come  wars  and  fightings  among 
you?  come  they  not  hence,  even 
Of  your  lusts  that  war  in  your 
members?  Ye  lust,  and  have  not: 
ye  kill,  and  desire  to  have,  and 
cannot  obtain:  ye  fight  and  war, 
yet  ye  have  not,  because  ye  ask 
nut.

king  of  Israel  said  unto  Jehosha- 
phat,  1  will  disgul.se  myself,  and 
enter  into  the  battle;  bni  put  thou

Israel  disguised  himself,  and  went 
into  the  battle.  But  the  king  of 
Syria  commanded  his  thirty  and 
two  captains  that  had  rule  over 
his  chariots,  saying.  Fight  neither 
with  small  nor  great,  save  only 
with  the  king  of  Israel.  And  It 
came  to  pass,  when  the  captains  of 
720

not  the  king  of  Israel,  that  they 
turned  back  from  pursuing  him.

maria, and  said  unto  them,  Be- 
holii,  because  the  Lord  God  of 
your  fathers  was  wroth  with 
Judah,  he  hath  delivered  them 
into  yonr'hand,  and  ye  have  slain 
them  in  a  rage  that  reacheth  up 
unto  heaven. 

War  for  Conquest.

Moses  said  unto  the  children  of 
Gad,  and  to  the  children  of  Reu-

wherefore  discourage  ye  the  heart 
of  the  children  of  Israel  from  go- 
ing over  into  the  land  which  the 
Lord  hath  given  them?  And 
Moses  said  unto  them.  If  ye  will 
do  this  thing,  if  ye  will  go  armed 
before  the  Lord  to  war,  And  will  go 
all  of  you  armed  over  Jordan  be- 
fore the  Loud,  until  he  liath  driven 
cut  his  enemies  from  before  him. 
And  the  land  be  subdued  before 
the  LoBu:  then  afterward  ye  shall 
return,  and  be  guiltless  before  the 
Lord,  and  before  Israel ;  and  this 
land  shall  be  your  possession  be- 
fore the  Lord.  But  if  ye  will  not 
do  so,  behold,  ye  have  sinned 
against  the  Loku;  and  be  sure  your 
sin  \s  ill  liud  you  out. 

Beut.  ii,  24,  31.  Rise  ye  up,  take

give  thee  of  the  land  of  the  chil-

because  I  have  g  ven  it  unto  the 
chiliiren  of  Lot  for  a  possession.

have  I  seen  also  under  the  snn, 
and  it  seemed  great  unto  me: 
There  loas  a  little  city,  and  few 
men  within  it;  and  there  came 
a  great  king  against  it,  and  besieg- 
ed it,  and  built  great  bulwarks 
against  it.  Now  there  was  found 
in  it  a  poor  wise  man,  and  he  by 
his  wisdom  delivered  the  city;  yet 
no  man  remembered  that  same 
poor  man.  Then  said  I,  Wisdom 
is  better  than  strength:  neverthe- 
less the  poor  man's  wisdom  is  de- 
spised, and  hia  words  are  not

2  Kings  xix,  32.  Therefore  thus

there,  nor  come  before  it  with 
shield,  nor  cast  a  bank  against  it. 

Jer.  vi,  6.  Foi:  thus  hath  the 
Lord  of  hosts  said,  Hew  ye  down 
trees,  and  cast  a  mount  against 
Jerusalem:  this  is  the  city  to  be 
visited;  she  is  wholly  oppression 
in  the  midst  of  her. 

Jer.  xxxii,  24.  Behold  the 
mounts,  they  are  come  unto  tho 
city  to  take  it;  and  the  city  is  given 
into  the  hand  of  the  Chaldeans 
that  fight  against  it,  because  of 
the  sword,  and  of  the  famine,  and 
of  the  pestilence:  and  what  thou 
hast  spoken  is  come  to  pass ;  and, 
behold,  thou  seest  it. 

Ezek.  iv,  2.  And  lay  siege  against

Ezek.  xxvl,  7-10.  For  thus  saith 
the  Lord  God,  Behold,  I  will  bring 
upon  Tyrus  Nebuchadrezzar  king 
of  Babvlon>  a  king  of  kings,  from 
the  north,  with  horses,  and  with 
chariots,  and  with  horsemen,  and 
companies,  and  much  people.  He 
shall  slay  with  the  sword  thy 
daughters  in  the  field;  and  ho 
shall  make  a  fgrt  against  thee, 
and  cast  a  mount  against  thee, 
and  lift  up  the  buckler  against 
thee.  And  he  shall  set  engines  of 
war  against  thy  walls,  and  with 
his  axes  he  shall  break  down  thy 
towers.  By  reason  of  the  abund- 
ance of  his  liorses  their  dust  shall 
cover  thee:  thy  walls  shall  shake 
at  the  noise  of  the  horsemen,  and 
of  the  wheels,  and  of  the  chariots, 
when  he  shall  enter  Into  thy  gates, 
as  men  enter  into  a  city  wherein 
is  made  a  breach. 

Dan.  xi,  15.  So  the  king  of  the 
north  shall  come,  and  cast  np  a 
mount,  and  take  the  most  fenced 
cities;  and  the  arms  of  the  south 
shall  not  withstand,  neither  his

let  about  two  or  three  thousand 
men  go  up  and  smite  Ai;  aiid 
make  not  all  the  people  to  labour

Josh,  viil,  1-8.  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  Joshua,  Fear  not,  nei- 
ther be  thou  dismayed:  take  all 
the  people  of  war  with  thee,  and 
arise,  go  up  to  Ai:  see,  I  have 
given  into  thy  hand  the  king  of 
Ai,  and  his  people,  and  his  city, 
and  his  land.  And  thou  shall  do 
to  Ai  and  her  king  as  tliou  didst

the  spoil  thereof,  and  the  cattia 
thereof,  shall  ye  take  for  a  prey 
unto  yourselves.  Lay  thee  an 
ambush  for  the  city  behind  it.  So 
Joshua  arose,  and  all  the  people 
of  war,  to  go  up  against  Ai:  and 
Joshua  chose  out  tliirty  thousand 
mighty  men  of  valour,  and  sent 
them  away  by  niglit.  And  lie 
commanded  them,  saying.  Behold, 
ye  shall  lie  in  wait  against  the 
city,  even  behind  the  city;  go  not 
very  far  Irom  the  city. but  be  ye  all 
ready:  And  I,  and  all  the  people 
that  are  with  me,. will  approach 
unto  the  city;  and  It  shall  come  to 
pass,  when  they  come  out  against 
us,  as  at  the  first,  that  we  will  flee 
before  them,  (For  they  will  come 
out  after  us,)  till  we  have  drawn 
them  from  the  city;  for  they  will 
say.  They  flee  before  us,  as  at  the 
first:  therefore  we  will  flee  before 
them.  Then  ye  shall  rise  up  from 
the  ambush,  and  seize  upon  the 
city:  for  tho  Lord  your  God  will 
deliver  it  into  your  hand.  And  it 
shall  be,  when  ye  have  taken  the

ATTKMrTED  MATICH  OF  TStlAEI. 

THROUGH  Edom  and  Land 
OF  Amorites. 
Num.  XX,  17-21.  Let  us  pass,  I 
pray  tliee,  through  thy  country: 
we  will  not  pass  through  the  fields, 
or  through  the  vineyards,  neither 
will  we  drink  of  the  water  of  the 
wells:  we  will  go  by  the  king's 
fiigh  way,  we  will  not  turn  to  the 
right  hand  nor  to  the  left,  until 
we  have  passed  thy  borders.  And 
Edom  said  unto  him,  Tliou  sh&lt 
not  pass  by  me,  lest  I  come  out 
against  thee  with  the  sword.  And 
the  children  of  Israel  said  untc 
him,  We  will  go  by  the  high  way; 
and  if  I  and  my  cattle  drink  of 
thy  water,  then  I  will  pay  for  it:  I 
will  only,  without  doing  any  thing 
else,  go  through  on  my  feet.  And 
he  8aid,Thou  shalt  not  go  through 
And  Edom  came  out  against  hia 
with  much  people,  and  with  a 
strong  hand.  Thus  Edom  refused 
to  give  Ibrael  pa&sa^e  tliruugb 


hlsborder:  wherefore  Israel  turned 
away  from  him. 

Num.  xxi,  21--23.  And  Israel 
sent  messengers  unto  Sihou  king 
of  the  Amorites,  saying,  Let  me 
pass  ihrough  thy  land:  we  will 
not  turn  into  tlie  fields,  or  into  tlie 
vineyards;  we  will  not  drink  0/ the 
waters  of  the  well:  but  wo  will 
go  along  by  the  king's  hjgfi-wa,y, 
until  we  be  past  thy  borders. 
And  Sihon  would  not  suffer 
Israel  to  pass  through  his  border; 
but  Sihon  gathered  all  his  people 
togetlier,  and  went  out  against 
Israel  into  the  wilderness:  and  he 
came  to  Jahaz,  and  fought  against 
Israel. 

Judges  xi,  18-20.  But  when 
Israel  camw  up  from  Egypt,  and 
walked  through  tho  wilderness 
nnto  the  Red  eea,  and  came  to 
Kadesh;  Then  Israel  sent  mes- 
sengers unto  the  king  of  Edom, 
Baying,  Let  me,  I  pray  thee,  pass 
through  thy  land:  but  the  king  of 
Edom  would  not  hearken  thereto. 
And  in  like  manner  they  sent 
onto  the  king  of  Moah;  but  ho 
would  not  consent:  and  Israel 
abode  in  Kadesh.  Then  they 
went  along  through  tho  wilder- 
ness, and  compassed  the  land  of 
Edom,  and  the  land  of  Moab;  and 
came  by  the  cast  side  of  the  land 
of  Moab,  and  pitched  on  the  other 
side  of  Arnon,  but  camo  not  with- 
in the  border  of  Moab:  for  Arnon 
was  the  border  of  Moab.  And 
Israel  sent  messengers  unto 
Sihon  king  ot  tho  Amorites,  the 
king  of  Heshbon:  and  Israel  said 
unto  him,  Let  us  pass,  we  pray 
thee,  through  thy  land  unto  my 
place.  But  Sihon  trusted  not 
Israel  to  pass  through  his  coast: 
but  Sihon  gathered  all  his  people 
together,  and  pitched  in  Jahuz^ 
and  fought  agaiobt  Israel. 

DEVASTATION 

PEODUCED  BY  THE  MARCH 

OF  AN  ENEMY. 

Num.  xxll,  4.  And  Moab  said 
unto  the  elders  of  Mldlan,  Now 
shall  this  company  lick  up  all  that 
are  round  about  us,  as  the  ox 
licketh  up  the  grass  of  the  field. 
And  Balak  the  son  of  Zippor  was 
king  of  the  Moabites  at  that 
time. 

Deut.  xxvill,  61.  And  he  shall 
eat  the  fruit  of  tliy  cattle,  and  the 
fruit  of  thy  land,  until  tliou  be 
destroyed:  which  also  shall  not 
leave  thee  either  corn,  wine,  or 
oil,  or  the  increase  of  thy  kine,  or 
flocks  of  tliy  sheep,  until  he  have 
destroyed  thee. 

Judges  vl,  3-6.  And  80  It  was, 
when  Israel  had  sown,  that  the 
Midianites  came  up,  and  tlie 
Araalekltes,  and  the  children  of 
the  east,  even  they  came  up 
against  them;  And  they  encamp-

od  agfllnst  them,  and  destroyed 
the  increase  of  the  earth,  till  thou 
come  unto  Gaza;  and  left  no  sus- 
tenance for  Israel,  neitlier  eheep, 
nor  ox,  nor  ass.  For  they  cams 
np  with  their  cattle  and  their 
tents,  and  they  came  as  grass- 
hoppers for  multitude;  for  both 
tliey  and  their  camels  were  with- 
out number:  and  they  entered 
into  the  land  to  destroy  it.  And 
Israel  was  greatly  impoverished 
because  of  the  Midianites;  and  the 
children  of  Israel  cried  unto  the 
Lord. 

2  Kings  iii,  18, 19,  25.  And  this 
Is  but  a  light  thing  in  the  sight  of 
the  Loed:  he  will  deliver  the 
Moabites  also  into  your  hand. 
And  ye  shall  smite  every  fenced 
city,  and  every  choice  city,  and 
shall  fell  every  good  tree,  and 
stop  all  wells  of  water,  and  mar 
every  good  piece  of  land  with 
stones.  And  they  beat  down  the 
cities,  and  on  every  good  piece  of 
land  cast  every  man  his  stone, 
and  filled  It;  and  they  stopped  all 
the  wells  of  water,  and  felled  all 
the  good  trees:  only  la  Kir- 
haraseth  left  they  the  stones 
thereof;  howbeit  the  slingers 
went  about  it,  and  smote  it. 

Jer.  iv,  20.  Destruction  upon 
destruction  is  cried;  for  the  whole 
land  is  spoiled:  suddenly  are  my 
tents  spoiled,  and  my  curtains  in 
a  moment. 

Jer.  XXV,  37, 38.  And  the  peace- 
able habitations  are  cut  down,  be- 
cause of  the  fierce  anger  of  the 
Lord.  He  hath  forsaken  his 
covert,  as  the  lion:  for  their  land 
is  desolate  because  of  the  fierce- 
ness of  the  oppressor,  and  because 
of  his  fierce  anger. 

Jer.  1, 12.  Your  mother  shall 
bo  sore  confounded;  she  that  bare 
you  shall  be  ashamed:  behold,  the 
hindermost  of  the  nations  shall 
be  a  wilderness,  a  dry  land,  and  a 
desert. 

Jer.  H,  43.  Her  cities  are  a  de- 
solation, a  dry  land,  and  a  wilder- 
ness, a  land  wherein  no  man 
dwelleth,  neither  doth  any  son  of 
man  pass  thereby 

Micah il,4:.  In  that  day  shall 
one  take  up  a  parable  against  you, 
and  lament  with  a  doleful  lamen- 
tation, and  say,  We  be  utterly 
spoiled;  he  hath  changed  the  por- 
tion of  ray  people:  how  hath  he 
removed  it  from  me!  turning 
away  he  hath  divided  our  fields.

himself  against  them,  he  and  his 
servants,  by  night,  and  smote

Judges  viii,  11.  And  Gideon 
went  up  by  the  way  of  them  that

Judges  ix,  31-33,  42-44.  And  ho 
sent  messengers  unto  Al)imelech 
privily,  saying,  Behold,  Gaal  the 
son  of  Ebed,  and  his  brethren,  be 
come  to  Shechem;  and,  behold, 
they  fortify  the  city  against  thee. 
Now  therefore  up  by  night,  thou 
and  the  people  that  is  with  thee, 
and  lie  in  wait  in  the  field;  And  it 
shall  be,  that  in  the  morning,  as 
soon  as  the  sun  is  up,  thou  slialt 
rise  early,  and  set  upon  the  city: 
and,  beliold,  iohe7i  he  and  the 
people  that  is  with  liim  come  out 
against  thee,  then  mayest  thou 
do  to  them  as  thou  shalt  find 
occasion.  And  it  came  to  pass  on 
the  morrow,  that  the  people  went 
out  into  the  field;  and  they  told 
Abimelech.  And  he  took  tlie 
people,  and  divided  them  into 
three  companies,  and  laid  wait  in 
the  field,  and  looked,  and,  behold, 
the  people  were  come  fortli  out 
of  the  city;  and  he  rose  up 
against  them,  and  smote  them. 
And  Abimelech,  and  the  company 
that  was  with  him,  rushed  for- 
ward, and  stood  in  the  entering 
of  the  gate  of  the  city:  and  the 
two  other  companies  ran  upon  all 
the  people  that  were  in  the  fields, 
and  slew  them. 

2  Sam.  ii,  29,  32.  And  Ahner  and 
his  men  walked  all  that  night 
through  the  plain,  and  passed  over 
Jordan,  ami  went  through  all

naim.  And  they  took  up  Asahel, 
and  buried  liim  in  the  sepulchre 
of  his  father,  which  toas  in  Beth- 
lehem: and  Joab  and  his  men 
went  all  night,  and  they  came  to 
Hebron  at  break  of  day. 

2  Sam.  xvii,  22.  Then  David 
arose,  and  all  the  people  that  loere 
with  him,  and  they  passed  over 
Jordan:  by  the  morning  light 
there  lacked  not  one  of  tliem  that

2  Kings  iii,  22,  23.  And  they 
rose  up  early  in  the  morning,  and 
the  sun  slioneupon  the  water,  and 
the  Moabites  saw  the  water  on  the 
otlier  side  as  red  as  blood:  And 
they  said,  Tliis  is  blood:  the  kings

/os;i.viii,9-l7,19-22.  Joshua  there- 

fore  sent  them  forth;  and  they  went 


to  He  In  amT>nsh,ftndal)oaetietween 
Beth-el  aiul  Ai,  on  the  west  side 
of  Ai:    but  Joshua  lodged  tliat 
night  among   the  people.     And 
Josliua  rose  up  early  iu  the  morn- 
ing, and  numbered  the  people, 
and  went  up,  he  and  the  elders  of 
Israel,  before  the  people  to  Ai. 
And  all  tlie  people,  even  the  people 
of  war  that  loere  with  him,  went 
up,  and  drew  nigh,  and  came  be- 
fore the  city,  and  pitched  on  the 
north  side  of  Ai:  now  there  ivas  a 
valley  between  them  and  Ai.  And 
he  tooli  about  five  tliousand  men, 
and  set  tliem  to  lie  in  ambush 
between  Beth-el  and  Ai,  on  the 
west  side  of  the  city.    And  when 
tliey   had   set  the  people,   eveti 
all   the  host   that  was  on    the 
north  of  the  city,  and  iheir  liers 
in  wait  on  the  west  of  the  city, 
Joshua  went  that  night  into  the 
midst  of  tlie  valley.    And  it  came 
to  pass,  when  the  liing  of  Ai  saw 
it,  tliat  he  hasted  and  rose  up 
early;  and  tlie  men  of  the  city 
went  out  against  Israel  to  battle, 
he  and  all  his  people,  at  a  time 
appointed,  before  the  plain:  but  he 
wist  not  that  there  were  liers  in 
ambush  against  him  behind  the 
city.    And  Joshua  and  all  Israel 
made  as  if  they  were  beaten  before 
them,  and  fled  by  the  way  of  the 
wilderness.     And  all  the  people 
tiiat  were  in  Ai  were  called  to- 
gether 10  pursue  after  them:  and 
they  pursued  after  Joshua,  and 
were  drawn  away  from  the  city. 
And  there  was  not  a  man  left  In 
Ai  or  Beth-el  that  went  not  out 
after  Israel:  and  they  left  the  city 
open,  and  pursued   after  Israel. 
And  the  ambush  arose  quickly  out 
of  their  place,  and  they  ran  as 
soon  as  he  had  stretched  out  his 
hand:  and  they  entered  into  tiie 
city,  and  took  it,  and  hasted  and 
set  the  City  on  fire.     And  when 
the  men  of  Ai  looked  behind  them, 
they  saw,  and,  behold,  the  smoke 
of  the  ciiy  ascended  up  to  heaven, 
and  they  had  no  power  to  flee 
this  way  or  that  way:  and  the 
people  tliat  fled  to  the  wilderness 
tamed  back  upon  the  pursuers. 
And  when  Joshua  and  all  Israel 
saw  that  the  ambush  had  taken 
the  city,  and  that  the  smoke  of 
the  city  ascended,  then  they  turn- 
ed again,  and  slew  the  men  of  Ai. 
And  the  other  issued  out  of  the 
city  against  them;  so  they  were  in 
the  midst  of  Israel,  some  on  this 
Bide,  and  some  on  that  side:  and 
they  smote  them,  so  that  they  let 
Done  of  them  remain  or  escape. 

JU'li/es  vii,  19-22.  So  Gideon, 
and  the  hundred  men  that  were 
with  him,  came  unto  the  outside 
of  the  camp  in  the  beginning  of 
the  middle  watch;  and  they  had 
but  newly  set  the  watcb:  and  they 
blew  the  trumpets,  and  brake  the 
pitchers  that  were  in  their  hands. 
And  the  three  companies  blew  the

trnmpets,  and  brake  the  pitchers, 
and  held  the  lamps  in  their  left; 
hands,  and  the  trumpets  In  their 
right  hands  to  blow  withal:  and 
they  cried.  The  sword  of  the  Lord, 
and  of  Gideon.  And  they  stood 
every  man  in  his  pl:tce  round 
about  the  camp:  and  all  the  host 
ran,  and  cried,  and  fled.  And  the 
three  hundred  blew  tbe  trumpets, 
and  the  Loed  set  every  man's 
sword  against  his  fellow,  even 
throughout  all  the  host:  and  the 
host  fled  to  Beth-shlttah  in  Zere- 
mth,  and  to  the  border  of  Abel- 
meholah,  unto  Tabbath. 

Judges  xx,  29-43.     And  Israel 
set   liers    in   wait   round   about 
Gibeah.    And  the  children  of  Is- 
rael went  up  against  the  children 
of  Benjamin  on  the  third  day,  and 
put  tliemselves  In  array  against 
Gibeah,  as  at  other  times.    And 
the  children  of  Benjamin  went  out 
against    the   people,    and   were 
drawn  away  from  tbe  city;  and 
they  began  to  smite  of  the  people, 
and  kill,  as  at  other  times,  in  the 
highways,  of  which  one  goeth  up 
to  the  house  of  God,  and  the  other 
to  Gibeah  in  the  field,  about  thirty 
men  of  Israel.    And  tho  children 
of  Benjamin  said.  They  are  smit- 
ten down  before  us,  as  at  the  first. 
But  the  children  of  Israel  said, 
Let  us  flee,  and  draw  them  from 
the  city  unto  the  highways.    And 
all  the  men  of  Israel  rose  up  out 
of  their  place,  and  put  themselves 
in  array  at  Baal-tamar:  and  the 
Hers  In  wait  of  Israel  came  forth 
out  of  their  places,  even  out  of  the 
meadows  of  Gibeah.    And  there 
came  against  Gibeah  ten  thousand 
chosen  men  out  of  all  Israel,  and 
the  battle  was   sore:    but    they 
knew  not  that  evil  was  near  them. 
And  the  Loed  smote  Benjamin 
befure  Israel:  and  the  children  of 
Israel  destroyed  of  the  Benjamltes 
that  day  twenty  and  flve  thousand 
and  an  hundred  men:  all  these 
drew  the  sword.    So  the  chlKlren 
of  Benjamin  saw  that  they  were 
smitten:   for  the  men  of  Israel 
gave  place  to  the  Benjamltes,  be- 
cause they  trusted  unto  the  Hers 
in  wait  which  they  had  set  beside 
Gibeah.    Arid  the  liers  in  wait 
hasted,  and  rushed  upon  Gibeah; 
and  the  Hers  In  wait  drew  them- 
selves along,  and  smote  all  the  city 
with  the  edge  of  the  sword.  Now 
there  was  an  appointed  sign  be- 
tween the  men  of  Israel  and  the 
liers   in  wait,  that  they  should 
make  a  great  flame  with  smoke 
to  rise  up  out  of  tho  city.    And 
when  the  men  of  Israel  retired  in 
the    battle,    Benjamin   began  to 
smite  and  kill  ot  the  men  of  Israel 
about   thirty  persons;    for  they 
said,    Surely    they    are   smitten 
down  before  us,  as  in  the  first 
battle.  But  when  the  flame  began 


look«<d  behind  them.  and.  bohold, 
the  flame  of  the  city  ascended  up 
to  heaven.  And  when  the  men  of 
Israel  turned  again,  the  men  of 
Benjamin  were  amazed:  for  they 
saw  that  evil  was  come  upon 
them.  Therefore  they  turned 
their  baclcs  before  the  men  of  Is- 
rael unto  the  way  of  the  wilder- 
ness; but  the  battle  overtook 
them:  and  them  which  come  out 
of  the  cities  they  destroyed  In  the 
midst  of  them.  Thus  they  In- 
closed theBenjaraites  round  about, 
and  chased  them,  and  trode  them 
down  with  ease  over  against 
Gibeah  toward  the  sun-rising. 

2  Ohron.  xili,  13.  But  Jeroboam 
caused  an  ambushment  to  come 
about  behind  them  :  so  they  were 
before  Judah,  and  the  ambiuli« 
ment  was  behind  them.

they  say  thus  unto  us.  Tarry  until 
we  come  to  you;  then  we  will 
stand  still  in  our  place,  and  will 
not  go  up  unto  them.  But  if  they 
say  thus.  Come  up  unto  us;  then 
we  will  go  up :  for  the  Lord  hath 
delivered  them  Into  our  hand;  and 
this  shall  be  a  sign  unto  us.

will  shoot  three  arrows  on  the 
side  thereof,  as  though  I  shot  at  a 
mark.  And,  beliold,  I  will  send  a

arrows.  If  I  expressly  say  unto 
the  lad,  Behold,  the  arrows  are

and  said  unto  him,  Go,  strengthen 
thyself,  and  mark,  and  see  what

the  year  the  king  of  Syria  will 
come  up  against  thee.

Bald  he.  Take  it  up  to  thee.  And 
he  put  out  his  hand,  and  took  it. 
Then  the  king  of  Syria  warred 
against  Israel,  and  took  counsel 
with  his  servants,  saying.  In  such 
ant  such  a  place  shall  be  my 
camp.  And  tlie  man  of  God  sent 
unto  the  king  of  Israel,  saying, 
Beware  that  thou  pass  not  such  a 
place;  for  thither  the  Syrians  are 
come  down.  And  the  king  of 
Israel  sent  to  the  place  which  tlie 
man  of  God  told  him,  and  warned 
him  of,  and  saved  himself  there, 
not  once  nor  twice.  Therefcjre 
the  heart  of  the  king  of  Syria  was 
Bore  troubled  for  this  thing;  and 
he  called  his  servants,  and  said 
unto  them.  Will  ye  not  shew  me 
which  of  us  is  tor  the  king  of 
Israel?  And  one  of  his  servants 
said.  None,  my  lord,  O  king:  but 
Elisha,  the  prophet  that  is  in 
Israel,  telleth  the  king  of  Israel 
the  words  that  thou  speakest  in 
thy  bedchamber.  And  he  said, 
Go  and  spy  where  he  is,  that  I 
may  send  and  fetch  him.  And  it 
was  told  him,  saying,  Behold,  h&  is 
in  Dolhau.

unio  his  servants,  1  will  now  shew 
you  what  the  Syrians  have  done 
to  us.  They  know  that  we  be 
hungry;  therefore  are  they  gone 
out  of  the  camp  to  hide  them- 
selves in  the  field,  saying,  When 
they  come  out  of  the  city,  we  shall 
catch  them  alive,  and  get  into  the 
city.  And  one  of  his  servants 
answered  and  said,  Let  sonie  take, 
1  pray  thee,  &ve  of  the  hordes  that 


remain,  which  are  left  in  the  city, 
(behold,  they  are  as  all  the  multi-

behold,  /  say.  they  are  even  as  all 
the  multitude  of  the  Israelites 
that  are  consumed,)  and  let  us

lag;  It  came  even  to  pass  on  the 
third  day,  that,  behold, a  man  came 
out  of  the  camp  trom  Saul,  with  his 
clothes  rent,  and  earth  upon  his 
head:  and  so  it  was,  when  he  came 
to  David,  that  he  full  to  the  earth, 
and  did  obeisance.  And  David 
said  unto  him.  From  whence 
comestthou?  And  he  said  unto 
him,  Out  of  the  camp  of  Israel  am 
I  escaped.  And  David  said  unto

young  man  that  told  him  said.  As

his  spear,  and,  lo,  the  chaiiots  and 
horsemen  followed  hard  after  him.

demanded  of  Imn  liow  Joab  did, 
and  how  the  people  did,  and  how 
the  war  prospered.  Then  Joab 
sent  and  told  David  all  tlie  things 
concerning  the  war;  And  cliarged 
the  messenger,  saying,  When  ihoa 
hast  made  an  end  of  telling  the 
matters  of  the  war  unto  tlie  king, 
And  if  so  be  that  the  king's  wrath 
arise,  and  he  say  unto  thee,Wliere- 
fore  approached  ye  so  nigli  unto 
the  city  when  ye  did  fij,4it?  knew 
ye  not  that  they  would  slioi^t  from 
the  wall?  Who  smote  Abimelech 
the  son  of  Jernbbesiieth?  did  not 
a  woman  cast  a  piece  of  a  mill- 
stone upon  him  from  the  wall, 
that  he  died  in  Thebez?  why  went 
ye  nigh  the  wall?  then  say  thou. 
Thy  servant  Uriah  the  Hittiteis 
dead  also.  So  the  messenger 
went,  and  came  and  shewed  David 
all  that  Joab  had  sent  him  for. 
And  the  messengers  said  unto 
David,  Surely  the  men  prevailed 
against  us,  and  came  out  unto  us 
into  the  field,  and  we  were  upon 
them  even  unto  tiie  entering  of  ihe 
gate.  And  tlie  shooters  sliot  from

llittite  is  dead  also.

enemies.  And  Joab  said  unto  him, 
Thou  Shalt  not  bear  tidings  this 
day,  but  thou  shalt  bear  tidings 
another  day;  but  this  day  thoa 
Shalt  bear  no  tidings,  because  the 
king's  son  is  dead.  Then  said 
Joab  to  Cuslii,  Go  tell  the  king 
what  thou  hast  seen.  And  Cushi 
bowed  himself  to  Joab,  and  ran. 
And  Ahimaazcalled,and  said  unto 
tht5  king,  All  is  well.  And  he  fell 
down  to  the  earth  upon  his  face

delivered  up  the  men  that  lifted 
up  their  hand  against  my  lord  the

thy  servaut,  I  saw  a  great  turrflilt, 
but  I  kuew  not  what  it  loas.  Aud

said.  Tidings,  my  lord  the  king: 
fur  the  Lord  hath  avenged  thee 
this  day  ot  all  them  that  rose  up 
against  thee.  And  the  king  said 
unto  Cushl,  Is  the  young  man 
Absalom  safe?  And  Ciishi  an-

the  king,  and  all  that  rise  against 
thee  to  do  thee  hurt,  be  as  that 
young  man  is.

Num.  xiil,  2,  3, 17-22, 25-27.  Send 
thou  men.  that  they  may  search

unto  the  children  of  Israeh  of 
every  tribe  of  their  fathers  shall 
ye  send  a  man,  every  one  a  ruler 
among  them.  And  Moses,  by  the 
commandment  of  the  Lord,  sent 
them  from  the  wilderness  of 
Paran:  all  those  men  were  heads 
of  the  children  of  Israel.  Aud 
Moses  sent  them  to  spy  out  the 
land  of  Canaan,  and  said  unto 
them.  Get  you  up  tliis  icay  south- 
ward, and  go  up  into  tlie  moun-

and  the  pe  )ple'  that  dwelleth

whether  in  tents,  or  hi  strong 
liolds;  And  what  the  land  is, 
whetiier  it  be  lat  or  lean,  whether 
there  be  wood  therein,  or  not:  and 
he  ye  of  good  courage,  and  bring 
of  the  fruit  of  the  land.  (Now  the 
time  loas  the  time  ot  the  first  ripe

searched  the  land,  irora  the 
wilderness  of  Zin  uuto  Iteliob,  aa

ascended  by  the  south,  and  came

Sheshai,  and  Talmai,  the  cidldren 
of  Anak,  were.  (Nowlleiiron  was

Paran,  to  Kadesh;  and  brouglit 
back  word  unto  tliem,  and  unto 
all  the  congregation,  and  sliewed

the  son  of  Nun  sent  out  of  Shittiiu 
two  men  to  spy  secretly,  saying, 
Go  view  the  land,  even  Jericho. 
And  they  went,  and  came  into  an 
harlot's  house,  named  Itahab,  and 
lodged  there.  And  it  was  told  the 
king  of  Jericho,  saying.  Behold, 
there  came  men  in  hither  to-night 
of  the  cliildren  of  Israel  to  search 
out  the  country.  And  the  king  of 
Jericho  sent  unto  R  diab,  saying, 
Bring  forth  the  men  that  are 
come  to  thee,  which  are  entered 
into  thine  house:  for  they  be  come 


to  search  otit  all  the  conntry. 
And  the  woman  took  the  two 
men,  and  hid  them,  and  said  thus, 
There  came  men  unto  me,  but  I 
■U'ist  not  whence  thoy  loere.  And 
they  went,  and  came  unto  the 
mountain,  and  abode  there  three 
days,  until  the  pursuers  were 
returned.  And  the  pursuers 
sought  them  througliout  all  tlie 
way,  but  found  thevi  not.  So  the 
two  men  returned,  and  descended 
Irom  the  mountain,  and  passed 
over,  and  came  to  Joshua  the 
son  of  Nun,  and  told  him  all 
things  that  befell  them. 

Josh,  vi,  17,  23,  25.  And  the  city

that  are  therein,  to  the  Lobd:  only 
Ealiab  the  harlot  shall  live,  slie 
and  ^11  that  are  with  her  in  the 
house,  because  she  hid  the  mes- 
sengers that  we  sent.  And  the 
young  men  that  were  spies  went 
in,  and  brought  out  Rahab,  and 
her  father,  and  her  mother,  and 
her  brethren,  and  all  that  she 
had;  and  they  brought  out  all  her 
kindred,  and  left  them  without  the 
camp  of  Israel.  And  Joshua 
saved  Rahab  the  harlot  alive,  and 
her  father's  household,  and  all  that 
she  had;  and  she  dwelleth  in 
Israel  even  unto  this  day;  because

Danltes  sought  them  an  inherit- 
ance to  dwellin;  tor  unto  that 
day  all  their  inheritance  had 
not  fallen  unto  them  among  the

them,  Go,  search  the  land:  who,

and  saw  the  people  that  were 
therein,  how  they  dwelt  careless, 
after  the  manner  of  theZidonians, 
quiet  and  secure;  and  there  roas 
no  magistrate  in  the  land,  that 
might  put  them  to  shame  in  any 
thing;  and  they  were  far  from 
the  Zidonians,  and  had  no  busi- 
ness with  any  man. 

1  Sam.  xxvi,  4.  David  there- 
fore sent  out  spies,  and  under-

2  Sam.  xvii,  17-19.  Now  Jona- 
than und  Ahimaaz  stayed  by  En- 
rogel:  for  they  might  not  be  seen 
to  come  into  the  city:  and  a  wench 
weut  and  told  them;  and  they 
went  and  told  king  David.  Never- 
theless a  lad  saw  them,  and  told 
Absalom:  but  they  weut  both  of 
them  away  quickly,  and  came  to 
a  man's  house  in  Bahurim,  which 
had  a  well  in  his  court;  whither 
they  went  down.  And  the  wo- 
man took  and  spread  a  covering 
over  the  well's  mouth,  and  spread 
ground  corn  thereon:  and  the 
thing  was  not  known. 


Gen.  xlil,  0-14,  SO.  81.  And 
Joseph  remembered  the  dreams 
which  he  dreamed  of  them,  and 
said  unto  them.  Ye  are  spies;  to 
see  the  nakedness  of  the  land  ye 
are  come.  And  they  said  unto 
him,  Nay,  my  lord;  but  to  buy 
food  are  thy  servants  come.  We 
are  all  one  man's  sons:  we  are 
true  men,  thy  servants  are  no 
spies.  And  he  said  unto  them, 
Nay,  but  to  see  the  nakedness  of 
the  land  ye  are  come.  And  they 
said.  Thy  servants  are  twelve 
brfcthren,  the  sons  of  one  man  in 
the  land  of  Canaan;  and,  behold, 
the  youngest  is  this  day  with  our 
father,  and  one  is  not.  And 
Joseph  said  unto  them,  That  is  it 
that  I  spake  unto  you,  saying.  Ye 
are  spies.  The  man,  who  is  the 
lord  of  the  laud,  spake  roughly  to 
us,  and  took  us  for  spies  of  the 
country.  And  we  said  unto  him. 
We  are  true  men;  we  are  no 
spies.

quiet  all  the  night,  saying,  In  the

1  Sam.  xiii,  3,  4.  And  Jonathan 
smote  the  garrison  of  the  Phili- 
stines that  was  in  Geba;  and  the 
Philistines  heard  o/ if.  And  Saul 
blew  the  trumpet  throughout  all 
the  land,  saying,  Let  the  Hebrews 
hear.  And  all  Israel  heard  say 
that  Saul  had  smitten  a  garrison 
of  the  Philistines,  and  that  Israel 
also  was  had  in  abomination  with 
the  Philistines.  And  the  people

Neh.  iv,  15.  And  it  came  to  pass, 
when  our  enemies  heard  that  it 
was  known  unto  us,  and  God  had 
brought  their  counsel  to  nought, 
that  we  returned  all  of  us  to  the 
wall,  every  one  unto  his  work.

shall  hear  a  rumour,  and  return 
to  his  own  land;  and  I  will  cause 
him  to  fall  by  the  sword  in  his 
own  land.  So  Rabshakeh  return- 
ed, and  found  the  king  of  Assyria 
warring  against  Libuah:  for  he 
had  heard  that  he  was  departed 
from  Lachish.  And  he  heard  say 
concerning  Tirhakah  king  of  Ethi- 
opia, He  is  come  forth  to  make

Dan.  xi,  44.  But  tidings  out  of

Josh.  X,  1,  2.  Now  it  came  to

Jerusalem  had  heard  how  Joshua 
had  taken  Ai,  and  had  utterly  de- 
stroyed it;  as  he  had  done  to 
Jericho  and  her  king,  so  he  had 
done  to  Ai  and  her  king;  and  how 
the  inhabitants  of  Gibeon  had 
made  peace  with  Israel,  and  were 
among  them;  That  they  feared 
greatly,  because  Gibeon  was  a 
great  city,  as  one  of  the  royal 
cities,  and  because  it  was  greater 
tiian  Ai,  and  all  the  men  thereol 
were  mighty.

COUNCIL  OF  WAB. 
2  Sam.  xvii,  5--10, 14, 15.  Then 
said  Absalom,  Call  now  Husliai 
the  Archire  also,  and  let  us  hear 
likewise  what  he  saith.  And  when 
Hushai  was  come  to  Absalom, 
Absalom  spake  unto  him,  saying, 
Ahithophel  hath  spoken  after  this 
manner:  shall  we  do  after  his  say- 
ing? if  not;  speak  thou.  And 
Hushai  said  unto  Absalom,  The 
counsel  that  Ahithophel  hath 
given  is  not  good  at  this  time. 
For,  said  Hushai,  thou  knowest 
thy  father  and  his  men,  that  they 
be  mighty  men,  and  they  be  chafed 
in  their  minds,  as  a  bear  robbed 
of  her  whelps  in  the  field:  and  thy 
father  is  a  man  of  war,  and  will 
not  lodge  with  the  people.  Be- 
hold, he  is  hid  now  in  some  pit,  or 
in  some  other  place:  and  it  will 
come  to  pass,  when  some  of  them 
be  overthrown  at  the  first,  that 
whosoever  lieareth  it  will  say, 
Tnere  is  a  slaughter  among  the 
people  that  follow  Absalom.  And 
he  also  that  is  valiant,  whose 
heart  is  as  the  heart  of  a  lion,  shall 
utterly  melt:  for  all  Israel  know- 
eth  that  thy  father  is  a  mighty 
man,  and  they  which  be  with  him 
ore  valiant  men.  And  Absalom 
and  all  the  men  of  Israel  said.  The 
counsel  of  Hushai  the  Arcbite  is 
better  than  the  counsel  of  Ahi- 
thophel. For  the  Loed  had  ap- 
pointed to  defeat  the  good  counsel 
of  Ahithophel,  to  the  intent  that 
the  Lord  might  brin?  evil  upon 
Absalom.  Then  said  Huslial  unto 
Zadok  and  to  Abiathar  the  priests, 
Thus  and  thus  did  Ahithophel 
counsel  Absalom  and  the  elders 
of  Israel;  and  thus  and  thus  have 
I  counselled.

MANCEUVRES,  ETC. 
Josh,  vii,  3.  And  they  returned 
to  Joshua,  and  said  unto  him,  Let 
not  all  the  people  go  up;  but  let 
about  two  or  three  thousand  men 
go  up  and  smite  Ai;  and  miko 
noi  all  the  people  to  labour  thi 
ther;  for  they  arc  but  few. 


Josh,  vlll,  5-8.  And  X,  and  all  the 
people  that  are  with  me,  will  ap- 
proach unto  the  city:  and  it  shall 
come  to  pass,  when  they  come 
out  against  us,  as  at  the  first,  that 
we  will  flee  before  them,  (For 
they  will  come  out  after  us)  till 
we  have  drawn  them  from  the 
city;  for  they  will  say.  They  flee 
before  us,  as  at  the  first:  therefore 
we  will  flee  before  them.  Then 
ye  shall  rise  up  from  the  ambush, 
and  seize  upon  tlie  city:  for  the 
Lord  your  God  will  deliver  it  into 
your  hand.  And  it  shall  be,  when 
ye  have  taken  the  city,  that  ye 
shall  set  the  city  on  fire:  accord- 
ing to  the  commandment  of  the 
Lord  shall  ye  do.  See,  I  have 
commanded  you. 

Judges  vii,  16-18.  And  he  di- 
vided the  three  hundred  men  into 
three  companies,  and  he  put  a 
trumpet  in  every  man's  hand,  with 
empty  pitchers,  and  lamps  within 
the  pitchers.  And  he  said  unto 
them.  Look  on  me,  and  do  like- 
wise: and,  behold,  when  I  come 
to  the  outside  of  the  camp,  it  shall 
be  that,  as  I  do,  so  shall  ye  do. 
When  I  blow  with  a  trumpet,  I 
and  all  that  are  with  me,  then 
blow  ye  the  trumpets  also  on 
every  side  of  all  the  camp,  and 
say.  The  sword  of  the  Lord,  and 
of  Gideon. 

2  Sam.  X,  8-11.  And  the  children 
of  Ammon  came  out,  and  put  the 
battle  in  array  at  the  entering  in 
of  the  gate;  and  the  Syrians  of 
Zoba,  and  of  Rehob,  and  Ish-tob, 
and  Maacah,  loere  by  themselves 
in  the  field.  When  Joab  saw  that 
the  front  of  the  battle  was  against 
him  before  and  behind,  he  chose 
of  all  the  choice  men  of  Israel, 
and  put  them  in  array  against  the 
Syrians.  And  the  rest  of  the 
people  he  delivered  into  the  hand 
of  Abishai  his  brother,  that  he 
nught.put  them  in  array  against  the 
children  of  Ammon.  And  he  said, 
If  the  Syrians  be  too  strong  for 
me,  then  thou  shalt  help  me;  but 
if  the  children  of  Ammon  be  too 
strong  for  thee,  then  I  will  come 
and  help  thee. 

2  Sam.  xvil,  1, 2, 11-13.  Moreover 
Ahithophel  said  untoAbsalom,  Let 
me  now  choose  out  twelve  thou- 
sand men,  and  I  will  arise  and 
pursue  after  David  this  nighi: 
And  I  will  come  upon  him  while 
he  is  weary  and  weak  handed, 
and  will  make  him  afraid:  and  all 
the  people  that  are  with  him  shall 
flee;  and  1  will  smite  the  king 
oidy:  Therefore  I  counsel  that  all 
Israel  be  generally  gatliered  unto 
thee,from  Dan  even  to  Beer-sheua, 
as  the  sand  tliat  is  by  the  sea  for 
multitude;  and  that  tliou  s^  to

due  falleth  on  the  ground :  and  of 
him  and  of  all  the  men  that  ar6 
with  him  tliere  shall  not  be  left  so 
much  as  one.  Moreover,  if  he  be 
gotten  into  a  city,  then  shall  all 
Israel  bring  ropi'S  to  that  city, 
and  we  will  draw  it  into  the  river, 
until  there  be  not  one  small  stone 
found  there. 

1  Qhron,  xix,  9-12.  And  the 
children  of  Ammon  came  out,  and 
put  the  battle  in  array  before  the 
gate  of  the  city:  and  the  kingw 
that  were  come  were  by  them- 
selves In  the  field.  Now  when; 
Joab  saw  that  the  battle  was  set' 
against  him  before  and  behind,  he' 
chose  out  of  all  the  choice  of  Is- 
rael, and  put  them  in  array  against 
the  Syrians.  And  the  rest  of  the 
people  he  delivered  unto  the  hand 
of  Abishai  his  brother,  and  they 
set  themselves  in  array  ag  dust  the 
children  of  Ammon.  And  he  said. 
If  the  Syrians  be  too  strong  for 
me,  then  thou  shalt  help  me :  but 
if  the  children  of  Ammon  be  too 
strong  for  thee,  then  I  will  help 
thee. 

2  Qhron.  xvili,  30.  Now  the 
king  of  Syria  had  commanded

with  the  king  of  Isiael.

Thou  therefore,  son  of  man,  pro-

Go  thee  one  way  or  other,  either

Also,  thou  son  of  man,  appoint

self abroad,  thou  shalt  dig  there- 
with, and  Shalt  turn  back  and 
cover  that  which  cometh  from 
thee:  For  the  Lord  thy  God 
walketh  in  the  midst  of  thy  camp, 
to  deliver  thee,  and  to  give  up 
thine  enemies  before  thee :  there- 
fore shall  thy  camp  be  holy;  that 
he  see  no  unclean  thing  iu  thee, 
and  turn  away  from  thee.

Num.  X,  35,  36.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  when  the  ark  set  fc>rvvard, 
that  Moses  said,  Rise  up,  Lord, 
and  let  thine  enemies  t)e  scat- 
tered: and  let  them  that  hate 
thee  flee  before  thee.  And  when 
it  rested,  he  said.  Return,  O  Lord, 
unto  the  many  thousands  of  Is- 
rael.

to  Joshua  at  Makkedah  in  peace :

Saul  had  pitched;  and  David  be- 
held the  place  where  Saul  lay,  and 
Ahner  the  son  of  Ner,  the  captain 
of  his  host.  And  Saul  lay  in  the 
trench,  and  the  people  pitched 
round  about  him.  Then  answered 
David,  and  said  to  Ahimelech  the 
Ilittite,  and  to  Abishai  the  son  of 
Zeruiah,  brother  to  Joab,  saying, 
Who  will  go  down  with  me  to  Saul 
to  the  camp?  And  Abisliai  said, 
I  will  go  down  with  thee.  So 
David  and  Abishai  came  to  the 
people  by  night:  and,  behold,  Saul 
lay  sleeping  within  the  trench,

ley of  Elah,  and  set  the  battle  in

tain on  the  one  side,  and  Israel 
stood  on  a  mountain  on  the  other

derness of  Ziph,  having  three 
thousand  chosen  men  of  Israel 
with  him,  to  seek  David  in  the 
wilderness  of  Ziph.  And  Saul 
pitched  in  the  hill  of  Hachilah, 
which  is  before  Jeshimon,  by  tlie 
way:  but  David  abode  in  the  wil-

came  after  him  into  the  wilder-

shall  speak  further  unto  the  peo- 
ple, and  they  shall  say,  What  man 
is  there  that  is  fearful  and  faint-

unto  his  house,  lest  his  brethren's 
heart  faint  as  well  as  his  heart.

And  there  returned  of  the  people 
twenty  and  two  thousand;  and 
there  remained  ten  thousand. 

BATTLES. 

OF  THE  CONFEDERATE  KINGS. 

Gen.  xiv,  1-3, 5,  7-9.  And  it  came 
to  pass  in  the  days  of  Amraphel 
king  of  Shinar,  Arioch  king  of 
Ellasar,  Chedorlaomer  king  of 
Elam,  and  Tidal  king  of  nations; 
That  these  made  war  with  Bera 
king  of  Sodom,  and  with^irsha 
king  of  Gomorrah,  Shinab"  ing  of 
Admah,  and  Shemeber  king  of 
Zeboim,  and  the  king  of  Bela, 
which  is  Zoar.  All  these  were 
joined  together  in  the  vale  of 
Siddim,  which  is  the  salt  sea. 
And  in  the  fourteenth  year  came 
Chedorlaomer,  and  the  kings  that 
icere  with  him,  and  smote  the 
llephaimsin  Ashteroth  Karnaim, 
and  the  Zuziras  in  Ham,  and  the 
Emims  in  Shaveh  Kiriathaim. 
And  they  returned,  and  came 
to  En-mishpat,  which  is  Kadesh, 
and  smote  all  the  country  of  the 
Amale  kites,  and  also  the  Amorites 
that  dwelt  in  Hazezon  -  tamar. 
And  there  went  out  the  king  of 
Sodom,  and  the  king  of  Gomorrah, 
and  the  king  of  Admah,  and  the 
king  of  Zeboim,  and  the  king  of 
Bela,  (the  same  is  Zoar;)  and  they 
joined  battle  with  them  in  the 
vale  of  Siddim;  With  Chedor- 
laomer the  king  of  Elam,  and  with 
Tidal  king  of  nations,  and  Amra- 
phel king  of  Shinar,  and  Arioch 
king  of  Ellasar:  four  kings  with 
five. 

With  Amalek. 
Exod.  xvii,  11-13,16.  And  it  came 
to  pass,  when  Moses  held  up  his 
hand,  that  Israel  prevailed;  and 
when  he  let  down  his  hand, 
Am;ilek  prevailed.  But  Moses' 
hands  were  heavy;  and  they  took 
a  stone,  and  put  it  under  him,  and 
lie  sat  thereon:  and  Aaron  and  i 
741 


nor  stayed  np  his  hands,  the  one 
on  the  one  side,  and  the  other  on 
the  other  siile;  and  his  hanls 
were  steady  until  the  going  down 
of  the  sun.  And  Joshua  dis- 
comfited Amalek  and  his  people 
with  the  edge  of  the  sword. 
For  he  said,  Because  the  Lord 
hath  sworn  that  the  Lord  will 
have  war  with  Amalek  from 
generation  to  generation. 

Kum.  xiv,  45.  Then  the  Amalek- 
ites  came  down,  and  the  Canaan- 
ites  which  dwelt  in  that  hill,  and 
smote  them,  and  discomfited  them, 
even  unto  Hormah. 

With  Oa. 
Num.  xxi,  33-35.  And  they 
turned  and  went  up  by  the  way 
of  Bashan:  and  Og  the  king  of 
Baslian  went  out  against  them,  he, 
and  all  his  people,  to  the  battle  at 
Edrei.  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Moses,  Fear  him  not:  for  I  have 
delivered  him  into  thy  hand,  and 
all  his  people,  and  his  land;  and 
thou  Shalt  do  to  him  as  thou  didst 
unto  Silion  king  of  the  Amorites, 
which  dwelt  at  lleshbon.  So  they 
smote  him,  and  his  sons,  and  all 
his  people,  until  there  was  none 
left  him  alive:  and  they  possessed 
his  land. 

Against  Machib. 
Kum.  xxxil,  39.  And  the  chil- 
dren of  Machir  the  son  of  Manas- 
seh  went  to  Gilead,  and  took  It, 
and  diispossessed  the  Amorite 
which  was  iu  it. 


Against  the  Anakims,  etc. 

Beut.  ii,  21--23.  A  people  great, 
and  many,  and  tall,  as  the  Ana- 
kims; but  the  Lord  destroyed 
tliem  before  them;  and  they  suc- 
ceeded them,  and  dwelt  in  their 
stead:  As  he  did  to  the  children 
of  Esau  which  dwelt  in  Seir,  when 
he  destroyed  the  llorinis  from 
before  them;  and  they  succeeded 
them,  and  dwelt  in  their  stead, 
even  unto  this  day;  And  the 
Avims  which  dwelt  in  Ilazerim, 
evm  unto  Azzah.  the  Caphtorims, 
which  came  forth  out  of  Caphtor, 
destroyed  them,  and  dwelt  in 
their  stead. 

Against  Sinoir. 
Dcut.  11,  32-36.  Then  Slhon 
came  out  against  us,  he  and  all 
his  people,  to  flt;ht  at  Jahaz.  And 
the  Lord  our  God  delivered  him 
before  us,  and  we  smote  him,  and 
his  sons,  and  all  his  people.  And 
we  took  all  his  cities  at  that  time, 
and  utterly  destroyed  the  men, 
and  the  women,  and  the  little 
ones,  of  every  city;  we  left  none 
to  remain:  Only  the  cattle  we 
took  for  a  prey  unto  ourselves^ 
and  the  spoil  of  the  cities  vihich

we  toolr.  From  Aroer,  which  is 
by  the  hrink  of  the  river  of  Arnon, 
and  from  the  city  that  is  by  tlie 
river,  even  unto  Gilead,  there  was 
rot  one  city  too  strong  for  us:  the 
Lord  our  God  delivered  all  unto 

U8. 

Dmt.  ill.  4,  6-8,  10.  And  we 
tool£  all  his  cities  at  that  time, 
tliere  was  not  a  city  which  we 
took  not  from  them,  threescore 
cities,  all  the  I'egion  of  Argob,  tho 
kingdom  of  Og  iu  Bashan.  And 
we  utterly  destroyed  them,  as 
we  did  untQ  Silion  king  of  Heeh- 
bon,  utterly  destroying  the  men, 
women,  and  children,  of  every 
city.  But  all  the  cattle,  and  the 
spoil  of  the  cities,  we  took  for  a 
prey  to  ourselves.  And  we  took 
at  that  time,  out  of  the  hand  of 
the  two  kings  of  the  Amorites, 
the  land  that  xoas  on  this  side 
Jordan,  from  the  river  of  Arnon 
unto  mount  Hermon.  All  the 
cities  of  the  plain,  and  all  Gilead, 
and  all  Bashan,  unto  Salcliah,  and 
Edrel,  cities  of  the  kingdom  of 
Og  in  Bashan. 

Deut.  iv.  46.  On  this  side  Jor- 
dan, in  tlie  valley  over  against 
Beth-peor,  in  the  laud  of  Sihon 
king  of  the  Amorites,  who  dwelt 
at  lieshbon,  whom  Moses  and  the 
cliildren  of  Israel  smote,  after 
they  were  como  lortb  out  of 
Egypt. 

"With  the  Aborigines. 
Deut.  Yii,  1,  2.  16.  When  the 
Lord  thy  God  shall  bring  thee 
into  the  land  whither  thou  goest 
to  possess  it,  and  hath  cast  out 
many  nations  before  thee,  the 
Hittites,  and  the  Girgashites,  and 
the  Amorites,  and  the  Canaiuiites, 
and  the  Perizzites.and  the  Hivites, 
and  the  Jebusites,  seven  nations 
greater  and  miuhtier  than  thou; 
And  when  the  Lokd  thy  God  shall 
deliver  them  before  tliee;  thou 
Bhalt  smite  them,  and  utterly  de- 
stroy them;  thou  shalt  make  no 
covenant  with  them,  nor  sliow 
mercy  unto  them.  And  thou 
Shalt  consume  all  the  people 
which  the  J.ord  thy  God  shall 
deliver  thee;  thine  eye  shall  have 
no  pity  upon  them:  neither  shalt 
thou  serve  their  gods;  for  that 
will  be  a  snare  unto  thee. 

Deut.  XX,  16-18.  But  of  the  cities 
of  these  people,  which  the  Lord 
thy  God  doth  give  thee  for  an  in- 
heritance, thou  phalt  save  alive 
nothing  that  breatheth:  Buttliou 
Shalt  utterly  destroy  them;  name- 
ly, the  Hittites,  and  the  Amorites, 
the  Canaanites,  and  the  Perizzites, 
the  Hivites,  and  the  Jebusites;  as 
the  LoED  thy  God  hath  command- 
ed thee:  That  they  teach  you 
not  to  do  alter  all  their  abomina- 
tions, which  they  have  done  unto 
their  gods;  so  should  ye  siu  against 
the  Lord  your  God. 


Deut.  xxix,  7,  8.  And  when  ye 
catne  unto  this  place,  Sihon  the 
king  of  Heshbon,  and  Og  the  king 
of  Bashan,  came  out  against  us 
unto  battle,  and  we  smote  them: 
And  we  took  their  land,  and  gave 
it  for  an  Inheritance  unto  the 
Keubenites,  and  to  the  Gadites, 
and  to  the  half-tribe  of  Manasseh. 

Josh,  viii,  24, 25.  And  it  came  to 
pa?s,  when  Israel  had  made  an 
end  of  slaying  all  the  inhabitants 
of  Ai  in  the  field,  in  the  wilder- 
ness wherein  they  chased  them, 
and  when  they  were  all  fallen  on 
the  edge  of  the  sword,  until  they 
were  consumed,  that  all  the  Is- 
raelites returned  unto  Ai,  and 
smote  it  with  the  edge  of  the 
Bword.  And  so  it  was,  that  all 
that  fell  that  day,  both  of  men  and 
women,  were  twelve  thousand, 
even,  all  the  men  of  Ai. 

Josh.  X,  28-42.  And  that  day 
Joshua  took  Makkedah,and  smote 
it  with  the  edge  of  the  sword,  and 
the  king  thereof  he  utterly  de- 
stroyed, them,  and  all  the  souls 
that  loere  therein;  he  let  none  re- 
main: and  he  did  to  the  king  of 
Makeddah  as  he  did  unto  the  Uing 
of  Jericho.  Then  Joshua  passed 
from  Makkedah,  and  all  Israel 
with  him,  unto  Lihnah,  and  fought 
against  Libnah:  And  the  Lokd  de- 
livered it  also,  and  the  king 
thereof,  into  the  hand  of  Israel; 
and  he  smote  it  witli  tlie  edge  of 
the  sword,  and  all  the  souls  that 
icere  therein;  he  let  none  remain 
in  it;  but  did  unto  the  king  thereof 
as  he  did  unto  the  king  of  Jericho. 
And  Joshua  passed  from  Libnah, 
and  all  Israel  with  him,  unto  La- 
chisli,  and  encamped  against  it, 
and  lought  against  it:  And  the 
Lokd  delivered  Lacliish  into  the 
hand  of  Israel,  which  took  it  on 
the  second  day,^and  smote  it  with 
the  edge  of  the  sword,  and  all  the 
souls  tliat  %oer&  therein,  according 
to  all  that  he  had  done  to  Libnah. 
Then  Horam  king  of  Gezer  came 
up  to  help  Lachish;  and  Joshua 
smote  him  and  his  people,  until 
ho  had  left  him  none  remaining. 
And  from  Lachish  Joshua  passed 
unto  Eglon,  and  all  Israel  wiili 
him;  and  they  encamped  against 
it,  and  fought  against  it:  Ana  they 
took  it  on  that  day,  and  smote  it 
with  the  edge  of  the  sword,  and 
all  the  souls  that  were  therein  he 
utterly  destroyed  that  day,  cc- 
conliiig  to  all  that  ho  had  done  to 
Lachish.  And  Joshua  went  up 
from  Lglon,  and  all  Israel  witn 
him,  unto  Hebron;  and  tliey  fought 
against  it:  And  they  took  it,,  and 
smote  it  with  tho  edge  of  the 
sword,  and  the  king  thereof,  and 
all  the  cities  thereof,  and  all  the 
souls  that  were  therein ;  ho  left 
none  remaining,  accoriing  to  all 
that  he  liad  done  to  Eglon,  but 
destroyed  it  utterly,  and  all  the 
712 


eouls  that  were  therein.  And 
Josliua  returned,  and  all  Israel 
with  him,  to  Debir;  and  fought 
against  it:  And  he  took  it,  and  the 
king  thereof,  and  all  the  cities 
thereof;  and  they  emote  them 
with  the  edge  of  the  sword,  and 
utterly  destroyed  all  the  souls 
that  were  therein;  he  left  none  re- 
maining: as  he  had  done  to  He- 
bron, so  he  did  to  Debir,  and  to 
the  king  thereof;  as  he  had  done 
also  to  Libnah,  and  to  her  king. 
So  Joshua  smote  all  the  country 
of  the  hills,  and  of  the  south,  and 
of  the  vale,  and  of  the  springs, 
and  all  their  kings:  he  lett  none 
remaining,  but  utterly  destroyed 
all  that  breathed,  as  the  Lord 
God  of  Israel  commanded.  And 
Joshua  smote  them  from  Kadesh- 
barnea  even  unto  Gaza,  and  all 
the  country  of  Goshen,  even  unto 
Gibeon.  And  all  these  kings,  and 
their  land,  did  Joshua  take  at  one 
time;  because  the  Lord  God  of 
Israel  fought  for  Israel. 

Josh,  xi,  8-14, 17,  23.  And  tho 
Lord  delivered  them  into  the 
hand  of  Israel,  who  smote  them, 
and  chased  them  unto  great  Zidon, 
and  unto  Misreplioth-maim,  and 
unto  the  valley  of  Mispeh  east- 
ward; and  they  smote  them,  until 
they  left  them  none  remaining. 
And  Joshua  did  unto  them  as  the 
Lord  bade  him:  he  houghed  their 
honses,  and  burnt  their  chariots 
with  fire.  And  Joshua  at  that 
time  turned  back,  and  took  Hazor, 
and  smote  the  king  thereof  with 
the  sword:  for  Hazor  beforetime 
was  the  head  of  all  those  king- 
doms. And  they  smote  all  the 
souls  that  loere  therein  with  the 
e(}S&  of  the  sword,  utterly  de- 
stroying them;  there  was  not  any 
left  to  breathe :  and  he  burnt 
Hazor  with  fire.  And  all  the  cities 
of  those  kings,  and  all  the  kings 
of  them,  did  Joshua  take,  and 
smote  them  with  the  edge  of  the 
sword;  and  he  utterly  destroyed 
them,  as  Moses,  the  servant  of  the 
Lord,  commanded.  But  as  for 
the  cities  that  stood  still  in  their 
streiigtii,  Israel  burned  none  of 
them,  save  Hazor  only;  that  did 
dosliua  burn.  And  all  the  spoil 
of  these  cities,  and  the  cattle,  the 
children  of  Israel  took  lor  a  prey 
unto  themselves;  but  every  man 
they  smote  with  the  edge  of  the 
sword,  until  they  had  destroyed 
them,  neither  left  they  any  to 
breathe.  Even  from  the  mount 
lialak,  that  goeth  up  to  Seir,  even 
unto  Baal-gad  in  the)  valley  of  Le- 
banon under  mount  Hermon:  and 
all  their  kings  he  took,  and  smote 
tliem,  and  slew  them.  So  Joshua 
took  the  whole  land,  according  to 
all  that  the  Loud  said  unto  Moses, 
and  Josliua  gave  it  for  an  inherlt- 
.ince  unto  Israel,  according  to 
their  divisions  by  their  tribes. 
And  the  laud  rested  from  war.

and  asked  counsel  of  tlie  Lord,

they  came  into  the  midst  of  the 
host  in  the  morning  watch,  and 
slew  the  Ammonites  until  the  heat 
of  the  day:  and  it  came  to  pass, 
that  they  which  remained  were 
scattered,  so  that  two  of  them 
were  not  left  together. 

1  Sam.  xiv,  48.  And  he  gathered 
an  host,  and  smote  the  Amalekites, 
and  delivered  Israel  out  of  the 
hands  of  them  that  spoiled  them. 

1  Sam.  XV,  1,  2,  8,  7,  8,  18-20- 
Samuel  also  said  unto  Saul,  The 
Lokd  sent  me  to  anoint  thee  to  be 
king  over  his  people,  over  Israel : 
now  therefore  hearken  thou  unto 
the  voice  of  the  words  of  the  Lord, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  I 
remember  fM«  which  Amalek  did 
to  Israel,  how  he  laid  wait  for  him 
in  the  way,  when  he  came  up  from 
I'^oFPt.  Now  go  and  smite  Amalek, 
and  utterly  destroy  all  that  they 
have,  and  spare  them  not;  but 
slay  both  man  and  woman,  Infant 
and  suckling,  ox  and  sheep,  camel 
and  ass.  And  Saul  smote  the 
Amalekites  from  Havilah  until 
thou  comest  to  Shur,  that  is  over 
against  Egypt.  And  lie  took  A  gag 
the  king  of  the  Amalekites  alive, 
and  utterly  destroyed  all  the 
people  with  the  edge  of  the 
sword.  And  the  Lord  sent  thee 
on  a  journey,  and  said.  Go  and 
utterly  destroy  the  sinners  the 
Amalekites,and  fight  against  them 
until  they  be  consumed.  Where- 
fore then  didst  thou  not  obey  the 
voice  of  the  Lord,  but  didst  fly 
upon  the  spuil,  and  didst  evil  in 
the  sight  ot  the  Lokd?  And  Saul 
said  unto  Saninel,  Yea,  I  liave 
obeyed  the  voice  of  the  Loko,  and 
have  gone  the  way  which  the 
l^oRD  sent  me,  and  have  brought 
Agig  the  king  of  Amalek,  and 
have  utterly  destroyed  the  Amale- 
kites.

in  Edom,  (For  six  months  did 
Joab  remain  there  with  all  Israel, 
until  he  bad  cut  off  every  male  in 
Edom.) 

2  Kings  xiv,  11,12.  But  Araaziah

and  Amaziah  king  of  Judah  looked 
one  another  in  the  face  at  Beth- 
shemesh,  which  belongeth  to

Baw  that  they  were  put  to  the

messengers,  and  drew  forth  the 
Syrians  that  were  beyond  the 
river;  and  Shophach,  the  captain 
of  the  host  of  liadarezer,  ioe7it  be-

and  he  gathered  all  Israel,  and

given  me  the  necks  of  mine 
enemies,  that  I  miglit  destroy 
tliem  that  hate  me.  Tlien  did  I

the  wind;  I  did  cast  them  out  as 
the  dirt  in  the  streets. 

SCENES  OF  SLAUGHTER. 

2  Sam.  XX,  12, 13.  And  Amasa 
wallowed  in  blood  in  the  midst 
of  the  highway:  and  when  tho 
man  saw  that  all  the  people  stood

the  highway  into  the  field,  and 
cast  a  cloth  upon  him,  when  he 
saw  that  every  one  that  came 
by  him  stood  still.  When  he  was 
removed  out  of  the  highway,  all 
the  people  went  on  after  Joab,  to 
pursue  after  Sheba  the  son  of 
Bichri. 

2  Sam.  xxif,  43.  Then  did  I  beat 
them  as  small  as  the  dust  of  the 
earth,  I  did  stamp  them  as  the 
mire  of  the  street,  ancJ  did  spread 
them  abroad. 

Ps.  Ixviii,  23.  That  thy  foot  may

by  the  sword,  and  thy  mighty  in 
the  war. 

Isa.  ix,  6.  For  every  battle  of

and  garments  rolled  in  blood:  but 
this  shall  be  with  burning,  and 
fuel  of  fire. 

Isa.  xiii,  6,  7,  16, 18.  Howl  ye; 
for  the  day  of  the  Loan  is  at  hand; 
it  shall  come  as  a  destruction  from 
the  Almighty.  Therefore  shall 
all  hands  be  faint,  and  every 
man's  heart  shalt  melt.  Every 
one  that  is  found  shall  be  thrust 
through;  and  every  one  that  is 
joined  unto  them  shall  fall  by  the 
sword.  Their  bows  also  shall 
dash  the  young  men  to  pieces; 
and  they  shall  have  no  pity  on  the 
fruit  of  the  womb:  their  eye  shall 
not  spare  children. 

Isa.  XV,  4,  5,  8.  And  Heshbon 
shall  cry,  and  Elealeh;  their  voice 
shall  be  heard  even  unto  Jahaz: 
therefore  the  armed  soldiers  of 
Moab  shall  cry  out;  his  life  shall 
be  grievous  unto  him.  My  heart 
shall  cry  out  for  Moab;  his  fugi- 
tives shall  Jlee  unto  Zoar,  an  heiler 
of  three  years  old:  for  by  the 
mounting  up  of  Luhith  with  weep- 
ing stiall  they  go  it  up;  for  in  the 
way  of  lloronaim  they  shall  raise 
up  a  cry  of  destruction.  For  the 
cry  is  gone  round  about  the  bor- 
ders ot  Moab;  the  howling  tliereof 
unto  Eglaim,  and  the  howling 
thereof  unto  Boer-elim. 

Isa.  xxii,  4,  6.  Therefore  said  I, 
Look  away  from  me;  I  will  weep 

741 


bitterly,  labour  not  to  comfort  me, 
because  of  the  spoiling  of  the 
daughter  of  my  people.  For  it  is 
a  day  of  trouble,  and  of  treading- 
down,  and  of  perplexity  by  the 
Lord  God  of  hosts  in  the  valley  of 
vision,  breaking  down  the  walls, 
and  of  crying  to  the  mountains. 

Jer.  iv,  15-17.  For  a  voice  de-

behold,  publish  against  Jerusa- 
lem, that  watchers  come  from  a 
far  country,  and  give  out  their 
voice  against  the  cities  of  Judah. 
As  keepers  of  a  field,  are  they 
against  her  round  about;  because 
she  hath  been  rebellious  against 
me,  saith  the  Lord. 

Jer.  vi,  22,  23.  Thus  saith  the 
LoKD,  Behold,  a  people  Cometh 
from  the  north  country,  and  a 
great  nation  shall  be  raised  from 
the  sides  of  the  earth.  They  shall 
lay  hold  on  bow  and  spear;  they 
are  cruel,  and  have  no  mercy: 
their  voice  roareth  like  the  sea, 
and  they  ride  upon  horses,  set  in 
array  as  men  for  war  against  thee, 

0  daughter  of  Zion. 

Jer.  xii,  12.  The  spoilers  are 
come  upon  all  high  places  through 
the  wilderness:  for  the  sword  of

one  end  of  the  land  even  to  the 
other  end  of  the  land:  no  flesh 
shall  have  peace. 

Jer.  xiv,  18.  If  I  go  forth  into 
the  field,  then  behold  the  slain 
with  the  sword!  and  if  I  enter 
into  the  city,  then  behold  them 
that  are  sick  with  famine!  yea,

go  about  into  a  land  that  they 
know  not.

the  Lord  shall  be  at  that  day 
from  one  end  of  the  earth  even 
unto  the  ot?ier  end  of  the  earth: 
they  shall  not  be  lamented,  neither 
gathered,  nor  buried;  they  shall 
be  dung  upon  the  ground. 

Jer.  xxxiii,  5.  They  come  to 
fight  with  the  Chaldeans,  but 
it  is  to  fill  them  with  the 
bodies  of  men,  whom  I  have 
slain  in  mine  anger,  and  in  my 
fury,  and  forall  whose  wickedness 

1  have  hid  my  face  from  this  city. 

Jer.  xlvl,  14.  Declare  ye  lu 
Egypt,  and  publish  in  Migdol,  and 
publish  in  Noph  and  in  Tahpan- 
hes:  say  j'e,  Stand  fast,  and  pre- 
pare thee;  for  the  sword  shall 
devour  round  about  thee. 

Jer.  xlviii,  3-5,  34.  A  voice  oJ 
crying  shall  be  from  llDronaim, 
spoiling,  and  great  destruction. 
Moab  is  destroyed;  her  liltlo  ones 
liave  caused  a  cry  to  be  heard. 
For  in  the  going  up  of  Luhith 
continual  weeping  shall  go  up; 
for  in  the  going  down  of  Horonaim 


WAR. 


tbe  ftnemles  hare  heard  a  cry  of  i 
destruction.  From  the  cry  of 
Heshbou  even  unto  Elealeh,  and 
even  iiuto  Jahaz,  have  they  ut- 
tered their  voice,  from  Zoar  even 
unto  Horomiiin,  as  an  heifer  of 
three  years  old:  for  the  waters 
also  of  Niinrim  shall  he  desolate. 

Jer.  xlix,  26.  Therefore  her 
young  men  shall  fall  in  her  streets,

Alas  for  all  the  evil  abominations 
of  the  hou-;e  of  Israel!  for  they 
shall  fall  by  the  sword,  by  the 
famine,  and  by  the  pestilence.  He 
that  is  far  off  shall  die  of  the  pes- 
tilence; and  he  that  is  near  shall 
fall  by  the  sword ;  and  ho  that  re- 
maineth  and  is  besieged  shall  die 
by  the  famine:  thns  will  I  accom-

you  out  of  the  midst  thereof,  and 
deliver  yuu  into  the  hande  of  stran- 
gers, and  will  execute  judgments

that  I  am  the  Lord,

There  is  Elam  and  all  her  multi-

There  be  the  princes  of  the  north,

RESOLUTION  TO  GO  TO 
WAR. 

Num.  xxxii,  17,  18,  27-32.  But 
we  ourselves  will  go  ready  armed 
before  the  children  of  Israel,  un- 
til we  have  brought  them  unto 
their  place:  and  our  little  ones 
shall  dwell  in  the  fenced  cities 
because  of  the  inhabitants  of  the 
land.  We  will  not  return  unto 
our  houses,  until  the  children  of 
Israel  have  inherited  every  man 
his  inheritance.  But  thy  servants 
will  pass  over,  every  man  armed 
for  war,  before  the  Loan  to  battle, 
as  my  lord  saith.  So  concerning 
them  Moses  commanded  Eleazar 
the  priest,  and  Joshtia  the  son 
of  Nun,  and  the  chief  fathers  of 
the  tribes  of  the  children  of  Israel: 
And  Moses  said  unto  them,  If  the 
children  of  Gad,  and  the  children 
of  Reuben,  will  pass  with  you 
over  Jordan,  every  man  armed  to 
battle,  before  the  Loan,  and  the 
land  shall  be  subdued  before  you; 
then  ye  shall  give  them  the  land 
of  Gilead  for  a  possession:  But  if 
they  will  not  pass  over  with  you 
armed,  they  shall  have  possessions 
among  you  in  the  land  of  Cauaaa 
And  the  children  of  Gad,  and  the 
children  of  Reuben,  answered, 
saying.  As  the  Louo  hatli  said 
unto  thy  servants,  so  will  we  do. 
We  will  pass  over  armed  before 
the  Loan  into  the  land  of  Canaan, 
that  the  possession  of  our  inherit- 
ance on  this  side  Jordan  nwiy  be 
ours. 

Judges  xx,  8,  9.  And  all  the 
people  arose  as  one  man,  saying. 
....  But  now  this  shall  be  the 
thing  which  we  will  do  to  Gibeab; 
we  will  go  up  by  lot  against  it.

will  fight  against  them  in  the 
plain,  and  surely  we  shall  be 
stronger  than  they.  And  he 
hearkened  unto  their  voice,  and 
did  so. 

1  Kings  xxii,  3.  And  the  king 
of  Israel  said  unto  his  servants, 
Know  ye  that  Ramoth  in  Gilead

it  not  out  of  the  hand  of  the  king 
of  Syria? 

Jer.  vi,  4,  5.  Prepare  ye  war

Let  us  go  up  at  once,  and  possess 
it;  for  we  are  well  able  to  over- 
come it. 

Num.  xiv,  9.  Only  rebel  not  ye 
against  the  Lord,  neither  fear  ye 
the  people  of  the  land;  for  they 
are  bread  for  us:  their  defence  is 
departed  from  them,  and  the  Lobd 
is  with  us:  fear  them  not. 

Deut.  I,  21,  29,  30.  Behold,  the

before  thee:  go  up  and  possess  it, 
as  the  Lord  God  of  thy  fathers 
hath  said  unto  thee;  fear  not,  nei- 
ther be  discouraged.  Then  I  said 
unto  you,  Dread  not,  neither  be 
afraid  of  them.  The  Lord  your 
God,  which  goeth  before  you,  he 
Shall  fight  for  you,  according  to 
all  that  he  did  for  you  in  Egypt 
before  your  eyes. 

Deut.  lii,  21,  22.  And  I  com- 
manded Josliua  at  that  time,  say- 
ing, Thine  eyes  have  seen  all  that

unto  these  two  kings:  so  shall  the 
Lord  do  unto  all  the  kingdoms 
whither  thou  passest.  Ye  shall 
not  fear  them:  for  the  Lord  your 
God  he  shaU  fight  for  you. 

Deut.  vii,  17-19.  If  thou  shalt 
say  in  thine  heart.  These  nations 
are  more  than  I;  how  can  I  dispos- 
sess them?  Thou  shalt  not  be 
afraid  of  them:  but  shalt  well  re- 
member what  the  Lord  thy  God 
did  unto  Pharaoh,  and  unto  all 
Egypt;  The  great  temptations 
which  thine  eyes  saw,  and  the 
signs,  and  tbe  wonders,  and  the 
mighty  hand,  and  the  slrt^tchod- 
out  arm,  whereby  the  Lord  thy 
God  brought  thue  out:  so  shall  the 
Lord  thy  God  do  unto  all  the 
people  of  whom  thou  art  atrold.

thy  God,  he  it  is  that  doth  go 
with  thee;  he  will  not  fail  thee, 
nor  forsake  thee.  And  Moses 
called  unto  Joshua,  and  said  unto 
him  in  the  sight  of  all  Israel,  Be 
strong,  and  of  a  good  courage:  for 
thou  must  go  with  this  people  unto

them,  saying,  Be  strong  and  cour-

for  the  king  of  Assyria,  nor  for  all 
the  multitude  that  is  with  him: 
for  there  be  more  with  us  than

Judges  v,  15, 18.  And  the  princes 
of  Issachar  were  with  Deborah; 
even  Issachar,  and  also  Barak:  he 
was  sent  on  foot  into  the  valley. 
For  the  divisions  of  Reuben  there 
were  great  thoughts  of  heart. 
Zebulun  and  Napthali  were  a  peo- 
ple tM^  jeoparded  their  lives  unto 
the  death  in  the  high  places  of  the 
field. 

Judges  x,  9.  Moreover,  the 
children  of  Ammon  passed  over

Judges  xviii,  25,  26.  And  the

Let  not  thy  voice  be  heard  among 
us,  lest  angry  fellows  run  upon 
thee,  and  thou  lose  thy  hfe,  with 
the  lives  of  thy  household.  And 
the  children  of  Dan  went  their 
way:  and  when  Micah  saw  that 
they  icere  too  strong  for  him,  he 
turned,  and  went  back  unto  his 
houe>e, 

1  Sam.  xvii,  33.  And  Saul  said 
to  David,  Thou  art  not  able  to  go 
against  tills  Philistine  to  fight

his  youth. 

1  Sam.  XXX,  10.  But  David  pur- 
sued, he  and  four  hundred  men:

Israel;  and  David  went  down,  and 
his  servants  with  him,  and  fought

waxed  faint. 

2  Kings  xiv,  10.  Thou  hast  In- 
deed smitten  Edom,  and  thine 
heart  hath  lifted  thee  up:  glory  of 
this, a.nd  tarry  at  home;  for  why 
shouldest  thou  meddle  to  tfiy  hurt, 
that  thou  shouldest  fall,  even  thoU, 
and  Judah  with  thee?

lOng  of  Judah?  Icame  not  against 


tlice  this  day,  Init  against  ttie 
house  wherewith  I  have  war;  for

haste;  forbear  thee  from  meddling 
with  God,  who  is  with  me,  that  ho 
destroy  thee  not. 

Jer.  vi,  25.  Go  not  forth  Into

stamping  of  the  hoofs  of  his  strong

wheels,  the  fatliers  shall  not  lools 
back  to  their  children  for  feeble-

Cometh;  and  every  heart  shall 
melt,  and  all  hands  shall  be  feeble, 
and  every  spirit  slrall  be  faint,  and 
all  knees  shall  be  weak  as  water: 
behold,  it  cometh,  and  shall  be 
brought  to  pass,  saith  the  Lord 
God. 

Zeph.  1, 13-16.  Therefore  their 
goods  shall  become  a  booty,  and 
their  houses  a  desolation:  they 
shall  also  build  houses,  but  not 
inhabit  them;  and  they  shall  plant 
vineyards,  but  not  drink  the  win© 
thereof.  The  great  day  of  the 
Lord  is  near,  it  is  near,  and  hast^ 
eth  greatly,  even  the  voice  of  the 
day  of  the  Lord:  the  mighty  man 
shall  cry  there  bitterly.  That  day 
is  a  day  of  wrath,  a  day  of  trouble 
and  distress,  a  day  of  wasteness 
and  desolation,  a  day  of  darkness 
and  gloominess,  a  day  of  clouds 
and  tliick  darliness.  A  day  of  the 
trumpet  and  alarm  against  the 
fenced  cities,  and  against  the  high 
towers. 

Gm.  xxxiv,  SO.  And  Jacob  said 
to  Simeon  and  Levi,  Ye  have 
troubled  me  to  make  me  to  stink 
among  the  inhabitants  of  the  land, 
among  the  Canaanltes  and  the 
Perizzites:  and  I  being  few  in  num-

together  against  me,  and  slay  me; 
and  I  shall  be  destroyed,  I  and 
my  house. 

Gen.  XXXV,  5.  And  they  jour- 
neyed: and  the  terror  of  God  was 
upon  the  cities  that  were  round 
about  them,  and  they  did  not  pur-

Num.  xxil,  2,  3.  And  Bilak  the 
son  of  Zippor  saw  all  that  Israel 
had  dorie  to  the  Amorites.  And

Moab  was  dlsfressedl  becanso  of 
the  cliiWren  of  Israel. 

Josh,  ii,  9, 24.  And  she  said  unto 
the  men,  I  know  that  the  Lord 
hath  given  you  tlie  land,  and  that 
your  terror  is  fallen  upon  us,  and 
that  all  the  inhabitants  of  the  land 
faint  because  of  you.  And  they 
6aid  unto  Joshua,  Truly  the  Loud 
hath  delivered  into  our  hands  all 
the  land;  for  even  all  the  inhabi- 
tants of  the  country  do  faint  be- 
cause of  us.

trembling  in  the  host,  in  the  field,

tines?

fight  agiiinyt  him:  and  Jehosha^ 
pUat  cried  out.

RESULTS  OF  BATTLE. 

GOD  THE  SOUKCB  OF  VICTOEY. 

Num.  xiv,  43.  For  the  Amalelc- 
Ites  and  the  Canaanites  are  there 
before  you,  and  ye  shall  fall  by  the 
Bword:  becjuise  ye  are  turned 
away  from  tho  Lord,  therefore 
the  Loan  will  not  be  with  you. 

Deut.  1,  41-43.  Then  ye  answer- 
ed and  said  unto  me,  We  have 
Binned  against  the  Lord,  we  will 
go  up  and  fight,  according  to  all 
that  the  Lord  our  God  command- 
ed us.  And  when  ye  had  girded 
on  every  man  his  weapons  of  war, 
ye  were  ready  to  go  up  into  the 
hill.  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
me.  Say  unto  them.  Go  not  up, 
neither  fight;  for  I  am  not  among 
you;  lest  ye  be  smitten  before 
your  enemies.  So  I  spake  unto 
you;  and  ye  would  not  hear,  but 
rebelled  against  the  command- 
ment of  the  Lord,  and  went  pre- 
Bumptuously  up  into  the  hill. 

Josh,  vili,  1.  And  the  Loud  said 
unto  Joshua,  Fear  not,  neither  be 
thou  dismayed:  take  all  the  people 
of  war  with  thee,  and  arise,  go  up 
to  Ai:  see,  I  have  given  into  thy 
hand  the  king  of  Ai,  and  his  peo- 
ple, and  his  city,  and  his  land. 

Judges  i,  2.  And  the  Lord  said, 
Judah  shall  go  up:  behold,  1  have 
delivered  the  land  into  his  hand. 

2  Sam.  v,  25.  And  David  did  so, 
as  the  Lord  had  commanded  him; 
and  smote  the  PhllistinrtS  from 
Geba  until  thou  come  to  Gazer. 


WAR. 

1  Kings  xiv,  14-16.  Moreover, 
the  Lord  shall  raise  idm  up  a  king 
over  Israel,  who  shall  cut  ofl'  the 
house  of  Jeroboam  that  day:  but 
what?  even  now.  For  the  Lord 
shall  smite  Israel,  as  a  reed  is 
shaken  in  the  \vater,  and  he  shall 
root  up  Israel  out  of  this  good 
land,  which  he  gave  to  their 
fathers,  and  shall  scatter  them 
beyond  the  river,  because  they 
have  made  their  groves,  provok- 
ing the  Lord  to  anger.  And  he 
shall  give  Israel  up  because  of 
the  sins  of  Jeroboam,  who  did 
Bin,  aud  who  made  Israel  to  sin. 

Ps.  xviii,  34.  He  teacheth  my 
hands  to  war,  so  that  a  bow  of 
steel  is  brolien  by  mine  arms. 

Deut.  xxxil,  sa  How  should  one 
chase  a  thousand,  and  two  put 
ten  thousand  to  flight,  except 
their  Rock  had  sold  them,  and 
the  Lord  had  shut  them  up? 

1  Sam.  xvii,  47.  Aud  all  this 
assembly  shall  know  that  the 
Lord  saveth  not  with  sword  and 
spear:  for  the  battle  is  the  Lord's, 
and  he  will  give  you  into  our 
hands. 

2  Ohron.  xvl,  7,  8.  And  at  that 
time  Hananl  the  seer  came  to  Asa 
king  of  Judah,  and  said  unto  him, 
Because' thou  hast  relied  on  the 
king  of  Syria,  and  not  relied  on 
the  Lord  thy  God,  therefore  is 
the  host  of  the  king  of  Syria 
escaped  out  of  thine  hand. 
Were  not  the  Ethiopians  and 
the  Lubims  a  huge  host,  ■with 
very  many  chariots  and  horsemen? 
yet,  because  thou  didst  rely  on  the 
Lord,  he  delivered  them  into 
thine  hand. 

2  Ghron.  xxv,  8.  Cut  if  thou 
wilt  go,  do  it,  be  strong  for  the 
battle:  God  shall  make  thee  fall 
before  the  enemy:  for  God  hath 
power  to  help,  and  to  cast  down. 

Ps.  xliv,  6.  For  I  will  not  trust 
In  my  bow,  neither  shall  my  sword 
save  me. 

Isa.  xxxi,  3 When  the 

Lord  shall  stretch  out  his  liand, 
both  he  that  helpeth  shall  fall, 
and  he  that  Is  holpen  shall  fall 
down,  and  they  all  shall  fall  to- 
gether. 

Ilosea  I,  7.  But  I  will  have 
mercy  upon  the  house  of  Judah, 
and  will  save  them  by  the  Lord 
their  God,  and  will  not  save  them 
by  bow,  nor  by  sword,  nor  by 
battle,  by  horses,  nor  by  horse- 
men.

thou  Shalt  do  unto  him  as  thou 
didst  unto  SIhon  king  of  the 
Amorltes,  which  dwelt  at  Hesh- 
bon. 

Deut.\\\,  23,  24.  But  the  Lono 
thy  God  shall  deliver  them  unto 
thee,  and  shall  destroy  them  with 
a  mighty  destruction,  until  they 
be  destroyed.  And  he  shall  de- 
liver their  kings  into  thine  hand, 
and  thou  shalt  destroy  their  name 
from  under  heaven:  there  shall 
no  man  be  able  to  stand  before 
thee,  until  thou  have  destroved 
them. 

Deut.  xxxl,  4,  5.  And  the  Loud 
shall  do  unto  them  as  he  did  to 
Silion  and  to  Og,  kings  of  the 
Amorites,  and  unto  the  land  of 
them,  whom  he  destroyed.  And 
the  Lord  shall  give  them  up  be- 
fore your  face,  that  ye  may  do 
unto  them  according  unto  all  the 
commandments  which  I  have 
commanded  yon. 

Josh.  vi,2.  And  the  Loud  said

into  thine  hand  Jericho,  and  the 
king  thereof,  and  the  mighty  men 
of  valour. 

Josh,  viii,  18.  And  the  Lobd 
said  unto  Joshua,  Stretch  out  the 
spear  that  is  in  thy  hand  toward 
Ai;  for  I  will  give  it  into  thine 
hand 

Josh  xl,  ■e.  And  tho  Lobd  said 
unto  Joshua,  Be  not  afraid  be- 
cause of  them;  for  to-morrow, 
about  this  time,  will  I  deliver 
tiiem  up  all  slain  before  Israel; 
thou  Shalt  hough  their  horses,  and 
burn  their  chariots  with  fire. 

Josh,  xxiii,  10.  One  man  of  yon 
shall  chase  a  thousand:  for  the 
Lord  your  God,  he  it  is  that  flght- 
eth  for  you,  as  he  hath  promised 
you-. 

Jtidges  vli,  9.  And  it  came  to 
pass  the  same  night,  that  the  Lord 
Kfud  unto  him,  Arise  got  thoe

delivered  it  Into  thine  hand. 

1  Kings  xx.  28.  And  there  came 
a  man  of  God,  and  spake  unto  the 
king  of  Israel,  and  said,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  Becnnse  the 
Syrians  have  said,  The  Lord  is 
Gud  of  the  hills,  but  he  is  not  God 
of  the  valleys,  therefore  will  I  de- 
liver all  this  great  multitude  into 
thine  hand;  and  ye  shall  know 
that  I  am  the  Lord. 

And  Given  by  Him.

Deut.  XX,  4.  For  the  Lord  your 
God  is  he  that  goeth  with  you,  to 
fight  for  you  against  your 
enemies,  to  save  you, 


Josfi.  xi.  16,  21.  So  Joshua  took 
all  that  land,  the  hills,  and  all  the 
south  country,  and  all  the  land  of 
Goshen,  and  the  valley,  a.nd  the 
plain,  and  the  mountain  of  Israel, 
and  the  valley  of  the  same.  And 
at  that  time  came  Joshua,  and 
cut  off  the  Anakiras  irom  the 
mountains;  from  Hebron,  from 
Debir,  from  A  nab,  and  from  all 
the  mountains  of  Judah,and  from 
all  the  mountains  of  Israel: 
Joshua  destroyed  them  utterly 
with  their  cities. 

Jesh.  xiv,  10--12.  And  now,  be- 
hold, the  Loud  hath  kept  me  alive, 
as  he  said,  these  foriy  and  five 
years,  even  since  the  Lokd  spake 
this  word  unto  Moses,  while  the 
Children  o/ Israel  wandered  in  the 
■wilderness;  and  now,  lo,  1  am  this 
day  fourscore  and  Ave  years  old. 
As  yet  1  am  as  strong  this  day  as 
J  was  in  the  day  that  Moses  sent 
me:  as  my  strength  was  then, 
even  so  is  my  strength  now,  for 
war,  both  to  go  out,  and  to  come 
in.  Now  therefore  give  me  this 
mountain,  whereof  the  Lord 
spake  in  that  day;  (for  thou  heard- 
est  in  that  day  how  the  Anakiras 
were  there,  and  that  the  cities 
wei'e  great  and  fenced;)  if  so  be 
the  Lokd  will  be  witli  me,  then  I 
Bhall  be  able  to  drive  them  out, 
as  the  Lord  said. 

Josh,  xxiii,  9.  For  the  Loed  hath 
diiveu  out  Irom  before  you  great 
nations  and  strong:  but  as /or  you, 
no  man  hath  been  able  to  stand 
before  you  unto  this  day.

Lord  lett  those  nations,  without 
driving  them  out  hastily;  neither

of  Joshua.

dued ou  that  day  Jabin  the  kin 
of  Canaan  before  the  children  of 
Israel.  And  the  hand  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  prospered,  and  pre- 
vailed against  Jabin  the  king  of 
Canaan,  until  they  had  destroyed 
Jabin  king  of  Canaan. 

Judges  vi,  10.  And  I  said  unto 
you,  i  avi  the  Lord  your  God;

In  wiiose  land  ye  dweU:  but  ye

2  Chron.  xlv,  12,13.  So  the  Lord 
smote  the  Ethiopians  before  Asa, 
and  before  Judah;  and  the  Ethio- 
pians fled.  And  Asa,  and  the 
people  that  were  with  him,  pur- 
sued them  unto  Gerar:  and  the 
Ethiopians  were  overthrown,  that 
theycould  not  recover  themselves; 
for  they  were  destroyed  before 
the  Lord,  and  before  his  host:  and 
they  carried  away  very  much 
spoil. 

2  Chron.  xxvl,  7.  And  God

Assyria,  and  from  the  hand  of  all 
other,  and  guided  them  on  every 
side. 


2  Sam.  xxil,  48,  49.  It  is  God 
that  avengeth  me,  and  that  bring-

And  that  bringeth  me  forth  from 
mine  enemies:  thou  also  hast  lilt- 
ed me  up  on  high  above  them 
that  rose  up  against  me:  thou 
hast  delivered  me  from  the  violent 
man. 

2  ghron.  xiii,  18.  Thus  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  were  brought  under 
at  that  time,  and  the  children  of 
Judah  prevailed,  because  they 
relied  upon  the  Lobd  God  of 
their  fathers. 

2  Chron.  xviii,  31,  32.  And  It 
came  to  pass,  when  the  captains

about  him  to  fight:  but  Jehosha- 
phat cried  out,  and  the  Lord 
helped  him;  and  God  moved  them 
to  depart  from  him.  For  it  came 
to  pass,  that,  when  the  captains

them.  They  compassed  me  about; 
yea,  they  compassed  me  about:

promises,  stopped  the  mouths  of 
lions.

their  backs  before  their  enemies, 
because  they  were  accursed: 
neither  will  I  be  with  you  any 
more,  except  ye  destroy  the  ac- 
cursed from  among  you.  Up, 
sanctify  the  people,  and  say. 
Sanctify  yourselves  against  to- 
morrow; for  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  of  Israel,  There  is  an  accurs- 
ed thing  in  the  midst  of  thee,  O

thine  euemies,  until  ye  take  away 
the  accursed  thing  from  among 
you.

and  said  unto  them,  Thus  saith 
the  LosD,  Ye  haye  forsaken  lae, 


and  tTierefore  have  I  also  left  yon 
In  the  hand  of  Shishak.  Where- 
upon the  princes  of  Israel  and  the 
king  humbled  themselves;  and 
they  said,  The  Lord  is  righteous. 
And  when  the  Lord  saw  that  they 
humbled  themselves,  the  word  of 
Lord  came  to  Shemaiah,  saying, 
They  have  humbled  themselves; 
therefore  I  will  not  destroy  them, 
but  I  will  grant  them  some  de- 
liverance; and  my  wrath  shall  not 
be  poured  out  upon  Jerusalem  by 
the  hand  of  Shishak.

in  the  midst  of  the  battle!  O  Jona- 
than, thou  wast  slain  in  thine  h.gh 
places.  I  am  distressed  for  thee, 
my  brother  Jonathan :  very  plea- 
sant hast  thou  been  unto  me:  thy

servant  said  unto  his  master, 
Come,  I  pray  thee,  and  let  us  turn 
in  into  this  city  of  the  Jebusites, 
and  lodge  in  it.  And  his  master 
8ai(i  unto  him.  We  will  not  turn 
aside  hither  into  the  city  of  a 
stranger,  that  is  not  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel;  we  will  pass  over 
to  Gibeah.  And  he  said  unto  his 
servant,  Come,  and  let  us  draw 
near  to  one  of  these  places  to 
lodge  all  night,  in  Gibeah,  or  in 
Ramah.  And  they  passed  on,  and

Benjamin.  And  when  he  had 
lilteil  up  his  eyes,  he  saw  a  way- 
faring man  in  the  street  of  the 
city:  and  the  old  man  said. 
Whither  goest  thou?  and  whence 
comest  thou?  And  he  said  unto 
him.  We  are  passing  from  Beth- 
lehem-judah  toward  the  side  of 
mount  Ephraim;  Irom  thence  am 
I:  and  I  went  to  Beth-lehem-judah, 
but  I  am  now  going  to  the  house 
of  the  Lord;  and  there  is  no  man 
that  receiveth  me  to  house.  Yet 
there  is  both  straw  and  provender 
for  our  asses;  and  there  is  bread 
and  wine  also  for  me  and  for  thy 
handmaid,  and  for  the  young  man 
which  is  with  tliy  servants:  there 
is  no  want  of  any  thing.  And  lier 
lord  rose  up  in  the  morning,  and 
opened  the  doors  of  the  house, 
and  went  out  to  go  his  way:  and, 
behold,  the  woman  his  concubine 
was  fallen  down  at  the  door  o/  the 
l)ouse,  and  her  hands  ivere  upon 
the  threshold.  And  he  said  unto 
her,  Up,  and  let  us  be  going;  but 
none  answered.  Then  the  man 
took  her  up  upon  an  ass,  and  the 
man  rose  up,  and  gat  him  unto 
his  place.  And  when  he  was 
come  into  his  house,  he  took  a 
knife,  and  laid  hold  on  his  concu- 
bine, and  divided  her,  together 
with  her  bones,  into  twelve  pieces, 
and  sent  her  into  all  the  coasts  of 
Israel.  And  it  was  so,  that  all

O  Lord  God  of  Israel,  why  is  this 
come  to  pas^  in  Israel,  that  there 
eliould  he  to-day  one  tribe  lacking 
In  Israel?  And  the  children  of 
Israel  said.  Who  is  there  among 
all  the  tribes  of  Israel  that  came 
not  up  with  the  congregation 
unto  the  Lokd?  For  they  had 
made  a  great  oath  concerning 
Liin  that  came  not  up  to  the  Lord 
to  Mlzpeh,  saying,  He  shall  surely 
be  put  to  death.  And  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  repented  them  for 
Benjimin  their  brother,  and  said, 
There  is  one  tribe  cut  off  from 
Israel  this  day:  How  shall  we  do 
for  wives  for  them  that  remain, 
seeing  we  have  sworn  by  tlie 
Lord,  that  we  will  not  give  them 
of  our  daughter  to  wives?  And 
they  said.  What  one  is  there  of 
tlie  tribes  of  Israel  that  came  not 
up  to  Mizpeh  to  the  Lord?  And, 
beliold,  there  came  none  to  the 
camp  from  Jabesh-giiead  to  the

numbered,  and,  behold,  there  were 
ntme  of  the  inhabitants  of  Jabesh-

we  have  he^rd  that  the  kinsrs  of 
the  house  of  Israel  are  merciful 
kings:  let  us,  I  pray  thee,  put 
sackcloth  on  our  loins,  and  ropes 

!  upon  (»ur  heads,  and  go  out  to  the 
kiii^  of  Israel:  peradventure  he 

1  will  save  thy  life.  So  they  girded 
7j4 


sackcloth  on  their  loius,  BTtd  ;^ii 
ropes  on  their  heads,  and  cam  ■%  tO 
the  king  of  Israel,  and  said.  Thy 
serviint.  Ben-hadad  saith,  1  praj 
thee,  let  nie  live.  And  he  said,  U 
he  yet  alive?  he  is  my  brother. 
Now  the  men  did  diligently  ob- 
serve whether  any  thing  would 
come  from  him,  and  dia  hastily 
catch  it:  and  they  said.  Thy  bro- 
ther Ben-hadad.  Then  he  said, 
Go  ye,  bring  him.  Then  Ben-

Shalt  not  smite  them:  wouldest 
thou  smite  those  whom  thou  hast 
taken  c;iptive  with  thy  sword  and 
with  thy  bow?  set  bread  and  wa- 
ter before  them,  that  they  may  eat 
and  drink,  and  go  to  their  master. 
And  he  prepared  great  provision 
for  them :  and  when  they  had

ye  purpose  to  keep  under  the  chil-

bond-men  and  bond-women  untc 
you :  but  are  there  not  with  you, 
even  with  you,  sins  against  the 
Lord  your  God?  Now  hear  me 
therefore,  and  deliver  the  captives 
again,  which  ye  have  taken  cap- 
tive of  your  brethren;  for  the 
fierce  wrath  of  the  Lord  is  upon 
you.  Then  certain  of  the  heads

against  them  that  came  fr.^m  the 
war,  And  said  unto  them,  Ye  shall 
not  bring  in  the  captives  hither: 
for  whereas  we  have  offended 
against  the  Lord  already,  ye  in- 
tend to  add  more  to  our  sins  and 
ri>  our  trespass;  for  our  tres^pa-js 
is  great,  and  there  is  fierce  wrath 
against  Israel.  So  the  armed  men 
left  the  captives  and  the  spoil  be- 
fore the  princes  anl  all  the  con- 
gregation. And  the  men  wliich 
were  e.\ pressed  by  name  rose  up, 
and  took  the  captives.aud  with  the 
spoil  clothed  all  that  were  nake  I 
among  them,  and  arrayed  them, 
and  shod  them,  and  gave  them 
to  eat  and  to  drink,  and  anoinl- 
ed  them,  and  carried  all  the  feeble

them  to  Jericho,  the  city  of  paliu

thus  saith  the  Lord,  Even  the 
captives  of  the  mighty  shall  be 
taken  away,  and  the  prey  of  the 
terrible  shall  be  delivered :  for  I 
will  contend  with  him  that  con-

neither  sons  nor  daughters, 
neither  spoil,  nor  any  thing  that 
they  had  taken  to  them:  David 
recovered  all.  And  David  came

went  not  with  us,  we  will  not  give 
them  ought  of  the  spoil  that  we 
have  recovered,  save  to  every 
man  his  wife  and  his  children, 
that  they  may  lead  them  away, 
and  depart.  Then  said  David, 
Ye  shall  not  do  so,  my  brethren, 
with  that  which  the  Loed  hath 
given  ns,  who  hath  preserved  us, 
and  delivered  the  company  that 
came  against  us  Into  our  hand. 
For  who  w  ill  hearken  unto  you  in 
this  matter?  but  as  his  part  is  that 
goeth  down  to  the  battle,  so  shall 
his  part  be  that  tarrieth  by  the 
Btuflf:  they  shall  part  alike.  And

fathers;  he  shall  scatter  among 
them  the  prey,  and  spoil,  and 
riches:  yea,  and  he  shall  forecast 
his  devices  against  the  strong 
holds,  even  for  a  time.

EMBASSIES. 

Josh,  xxii,  30-33.  And  when 
Phinehas  the  priest,  and  the 
princes  of  the  congregation,  and 
heads  of  the  thousands  of  Israel 
which  we7-e  with  him,  heard  the 
words  that  the  children  of  Reu- 
ben, and  the  children  of  Gad,  and 
the  children  of  Manasseh  spake, 
it  pleased  them.  And  Phinehas 
the  son  of  Eleazar  the  priest  said 
unto  the  children  of  Reuben,  and 
to  the  children  of  Gad,  and  to  the 
children  of  Manasseh,  This  day 
we  perceive  that  the  Lord  is 
among  us,  because  we  have  not 
committed  this  trespass  against 
the  Lord:  now  ye  have  delivered 
the  children  of  Israel  out  of  the 
hand  of  the  Lord.  And  Phinehas 
the  son  of  Eleazar  the  priest,  and 
the  princes,  returned  from  the 
children  of  Reuben,  and  from  the 
children  of  Gal,  out  of  the  land  of 
Gilead,  unto  tlie  land  of  Canaan, 
to  the  children  of  Israel,  and 
brought  them  word  again.  And 
the  thing  pleased  the  children  of 
Israel ;  and  the  children  of  Israel 
blessed  God,  and  did  not  intend 
to  go  up  against  them  in  battle,  to 
destroy  the  land  wherein  the 
children  of  Reuben  andGad  dwelt. 

Judges  xi,  14, 15,  21-23,  25-28. 
And  Jephthah  sent  messengers 
again  unto  the  king  of  the  chil- 
757 


dren  of  Ammon,  And  said  unto 
him.  Thus  f-aith  Jtphthidi,  Israel 
took  not  away  the  land  of  Moab, 
nor  the  land  of  the  children  of 
Ammon:  And  the  Lord  God  of 
Israel  delivered  Sihon  and  all  his 
people  into  the  hand  of  Israel, 
and  they  smote  them :  so  Israel 
possessed  all  the  land  of  the  Amo- 
rites,  the  Inhabitants  of  that 
country.  And  they  possessed  all 
the  coasts  of  the  Amorites,  from 
Arnon  even  unto  Jabbok,  and 
from  the  wilderness  even  unto 
Jordan.  So  now  tlie  Lord  God  of 
Israel  hath  dispossessed  the  Amo- 
rites from  before  his  people  Is- 
rael, and  shouldest  thou  possess 
it?  And  now  art  thou  any  thing 
better  than  Balak  the  son  of  Zip- 
por  king  of  Moab?  did  he  ever 
strive  against  Israel,  or  did  he 
ever  figlit  against  them.  While 
Israel  dwelt  in  11  eshbon  and  her 
towns,  and  in  Aroer,  and  her 
towns,  and  in  all  the  cities  that  be 
along  by  the  coasts  of  Arnon, 
three  hundred  years,  why  there- 
fore did  ye  not  recover  them  with- 
in that  time?  Wlierefore  I  have 
not  sinned  against  thee,  but  thou 
doest  me  wrung  to  war  against 
me:  the  Lord  the  Judge  be  judge 
this  day  between  the  children  of 
Israel  and  the  children  of  Am- 
mon. Howbeit  the  king  of  the 
children  of  Ammon  hearkened 
not  unto  the  words  of  Jephthah 
which  he  sent  him. 

1  Kings  xx,  5-9.  And  the  mes- 
sengers came  again,  and  said. 
Thus  speaketh  Ben-hadad,  saying. 
Although  I  have  sent  unto  thee, 
saying,  Thou  shalt  dehverme  thy 
silver,  and  thy  gold,  and  thy  wives, 
and  thy  children;  Yet  I  will  send 
my  servants  unto  thee  to-morrow 
about  this  time,  and  they  shall 
search  thine  house,  and  the  houses 
of  thy  servants;  and  it  shall  be, 
that  whatsoever  is  pleasant  la 
thine  eyes,  they  shall  put  it  in  their 
hand,  and  take  it  away.  Then 
the  king  of  Israel  called  all  the 
elders  of  the  land,  and  said,  Mark, 
I  pray  you,  and  see  how  this  man 
seeketh  mischief:  for  he  sent  unto 
me  for  my  wives,  and  for  my  chil- 
dren, and  for  my  silver,  and  for 
my  gold;  and  I  denied  him  not. 
And  all  the  elders,  and  all  the 
people,  said  unto  him.  Hearken 
not  unto  him,  nor  consent.  Where- 
fore he  said  unto  the  messengers 
of  Ben-hadad,  Tell  my  lord  the 
king.  All  that  thou  didst  send  for 
to  tliy  servant  at  the  first  I  will 
do:  but  this  thing  I  may  not  do. 
And  the  messengers  departed, 
and  brought  him  word  again. 

Treaties  Violated, 
1  Kings  xv,  19,  There  is  a  league 
between  me  and  thee,  and  be- 
tween my  father  and  thy  father: 
behold,  I  have  sent  unto  thee  a 
present  of  silver  and  gold;  coine 


WAK. 


and  break  ttiy  lea;?ne  with  BaasJba 
king  of  lsr;iel,that  lie  may  depart 
from  me. 

Daniel  xi,  23.  And  after  the 
league  made  with  him  he  shall 
work  deceitfully:  for  he  sliall 
come  up,  and  siiall  become  strong 
■with  a  Bmail  people. 

Amoi  i,  9.  Thus  saith  the  Lord; 
For  three  transgressions  of  Tyrus, 
and  for  four,  I  will  not  turn  away 
the  punishment  thereof;  because 
they  delivered  up  the  whole  cap- 
tivity to  Edom,  and  remembered 
not  the  brotherly  covenant. 

Obad.  7.  All  the  men  of  thy 
confederacy  have  brought  thee 
evcntothQ  border:  the  men  that 
were  at  peace  with  thee  have  de- 
ceived thee,  and  prevailed  against 
thee;  they  that  eat  thy  bread  have 
laid  a  wound  under  tliee:  thei'C  is 
none  understanding  in  him. 

AMBASSADORS. 

Josh,  xxii,  12-15.  And  when  the 
children  of  Israel  heard  of  it,  i\i& 
whole  congregation  of  tlie  chil- 
dreiiof  Israel  gathered  themselves 
together  at  Shiloh,  to  go  up  to 
war  against  them.  And  the 
children  of  Israel  sent  unto  the 
children  of  Reuben,  and  to  the 
children  of  Gad.  and  to  the  half 
tribe  of  Manasseh,  into  the 
land  of  Gilead,  Phinehas  the 
son  of  Ele:<z  ir  the  priest,  And 
with  him  ten  princes,  of  each 
chief  house  a  prince  throughout 
all  the  tribes  of  Israel;  and  each 
one  loas  an  liead  of  the  house 
of  their  fathers  among  the  thou- 
sands of  Israel.  And  fhey  came 
unto  the  children  of  Reuben,  and 
to  the  children  of  Gad,  and  to  the 
half-tribe  of  Manasseh,  unto  the 
land  of  Gilead,  and  they  spake 
with  them,  saying. 

Judges  xx,  12.  And  the  tribes 
of  Israel  sent  men  through  all  the 
tribe  of  Benjamin,  saying,  Wnat 
wickedness  is  this  that  is  done 
among  you? 

Judges  xxf,  12,  13.  And  they 
found  among  the  inhabitants  of 
Jabesh- gilead  four  hundred 
young  viri;ins,  that  had  known 
no  man  by  lying  with  any  male: 
and  they  bronglit  them  unto  the 
camp  to  Sliiloh,  which  is  in  the 
land  of  Canaan.  And  the  whole 
congregation  sent  some  to  speak 
to  tlie  children  ol  Benjamin  that 
were  in  tlie  rock  Kiuimon,  and  to 
call  peaceably  unto  them! 

1  Ki7iQS  XX,  17,  18.  And  the 
young  men  of  the  princes  of  the 
provinces  went  out  first:  and  Beu- 
hadad  sent  out,  and  they  told  Idin, 
saying,  Tliero  are  men  come  out 
of  Samaria.  And  lie  said, 
Whether  they  be  come  out  for 
peace,  take  them  alive;  or  whether 
they  be  cume  out  for  war,  take 
them  alive. 


2  Kings  ix,  19.  T  ;en  he  sent 
out  a  second  on  horseback,  wiiicii 
came  to  them,  and  said.  Thus 
saith  the  king,  la  it  peace?  And 
Jehu  answered,  What  hast  thou 
to  do  with  peace?  turn  thee  be- 
hind me. 

Lulce  xiv,  31,  32.  Or  what  king, 
going  to  make  war  against  an- 
other king,  sitteth  not  down  first, 
and  consulteth,  whether  he  be 
able  with  ten  thousand  to  meet 
him  that  cometh  against  him  with 
twenty  thousand?  Or  else,  while 
the  other  is  yet  a  great  way  ofiF, 
he  sendeth  an  ainbassage,  and  de- 
sireth  conditions  of  peace. 

League  with  the  Gibeonites. 

Josh  Ax,  1-4,  6-9,11.  And  it  came 
to  pass,  when  all  the  kings  which 
icere  on  this  side  Jordan,  in  the 
hills,  and  in  the  valleys,  and  in  all 
the  coasts  of  the  great  sea  over 
against  Lebanon,  the  Ilittite,  and 
the  Amorite,  the  Canaanite,  the 
Perizzite,  the  Hivite,  and  the  Je- 
buaite,  heard  thereof,  That  they 
gathered  themselves  together,  to 
tight  with  Joshua  and  with  Israel, 
with  one  accord.  And  when  the 
inhabitants  of  Gibeon  heard  what 
Joshua  had  done  unto  Jericho, 
and  to  Ai,  They  did  work  wilily. 
and  went  and  made  as  if  they  had 
been  ambassadors,  and  took  old 
sacks  upon  their  asses,  and  witie- 
bottles,  old,  and  rent,  and  bouud 
up;  And  they  went  to  Joshua  unto 
the  camp  at  Gilgal,  and  said  unto 
him,  and  to  the  men  of  Israel,  We 
be  come  from  a  far  country:  now 
therefore  make  ye  a  league  with 
us.  And  the  men  of  Israel  said 
unto  the  Ilivites,  Peradventure  ye 
dwell  among  us;  and  how  shall  we 
make  a  league  with  you?  And 
tiiey  said  unto  Joshua,  We  ore 
thy  servants.  And  Joshua  said 
uuto  them,  Who  are  ye?  and  from 
whence  come  ye?  And  they  said 
unto  him.  From  a  very  far  country 
thy  servants  are  come  because  of 
the  name  of  the  Loud  thy  God: 
for  we  liave  heard  the  fame  of 
him,  and  all  that  he  did  in  Egypt, 
Wlierefore  our  elders,  and  all  the 
inhabitants  of  our  country,  spake 
to  us,  saying,  Take  victuals  with 
you  tor  the  journey,  and  go  to 
meet  them,  and  say  unto  iheni, 
We  ai'e  your  servants:  therefoie 
now  make  ye  a  league  with  us. 

Josh.  X,  6.  And  the  men  of  Gi- 
beon sent  unto  Joshua  to  the 
camp  to  Gilgal,  saying,  Slack  not 
thy  hand  from  tliy  servants;  come 
up  to  us  quickly,  and  save  us,  and 
help  ns:  tor  all  the  kings  of  the 
Amoiltes,  that  dwell  in  the  moun- 
tains, are  gathered  together 
against  us.

Proposals. 

Judges  viii,  1-3.  And  the  meu 
of  Ephraim  said  unto  him.  Why 
hast  thou  served  us  thus,  that 
thou  calledst  us  not  when  thou 
wentest  to  fight  with  the  Midian- 
ites?  And  they  did  chide  with  him 
sharply.  And  he  said  unto  them, 
What  have  I  done  now  in  compa- 
rison of  you?  Is  not  the  gleaning 
of  the  grapes  of  Epliraim  better 
than  the  viutage  of  Abi-ezer?  God 
hath  delivered  into  your  liauds 
the  prince.s  ot  Midiaii,  Oreb  and 
Zeeb:  and  what  was  I  able  to  do 
in  comparison  of  you?  Then  their 
anger  was  abated  toward  him 
when  he  had  said  that. 

Judges  xi,  12, 13.  And  Jephthah 
sent  messengers  unto  the  king  of 
the  children  of  Ammon,  saying, 
What  hast  thou  to  do  with  me, 
that  thou  art  come  against  me  to 
fight  in  my  land.  And  the  king  of 
the  children  of  Ammon  answered 
unto  the  messengers  of  Jephthab, 
Because  Israel  took  away  my 
land  when  they  came  up  out  of 
Egypt,  from  Aruun  even  unto 
Jabbok,  and  unto  Jordan:  no.v 
therefore  restore  those  lands  asdia 
peaceably. 

Judges  xli,  1-3.  And  the  men 
of  Ephraim  gathered  themselves 
together,  and  went  northward, 
and  sail  unto  Jeplithaii,  Where- 
fore passedst  thou  over  to  fight 
against  the  children  of  Amnion, 
and  didst  not  call  us  to  go  with 
thee?  we  will  burn  thine  house 
upon  thee  with  fire.  And  Jeph- 
thah said  unto  them,  I  and  my 
people  were  at  great  strife  with 
the  chihireu  of  Amnion;  and  when 
I  called  you,  ye  delivered  me  not 
out  of  their  hands.  And  when  I 
saw  that  ye  delivered  me  not,  I 
put  my  lite  in  my  hands,  and 
passed  over  against  the  cliil(ireu 
of  Ammon,  and  the  Lord  deliver- 
ed them  into  my  liand:  wherefore 
then  nie  ye  come  up  unto  me  this 
day,  to  fight  against  me. 

Judges  XV,  9, 10.  Then  the  Phi- 
listines went  up,  and  pitched  in 
Judah,  and  spread  themselves  in 
Leiii.  And  the  meu  of  JudaU 
said,  Why  are  ye  come  up  against 
us?  And  they  answered,  To  bind 
Samson  are  we  come  up,  to  do  to 
him  as  he  hath  done  to  us. 

Judges  xx,  13.  Now  therefore 
deliver  us  the  men,  the  cliildrea 
ot  Belial,  which  a?-e  in  Gibeab,

and  put  away  evil  from  Israel. 
But  the  children  of  Benjamin 
would  not  hearken  to  the  voice  of 
their  brethren  the  children  of  Is- 
rael. 

1  Sam.  xl.  1,  2.  Then  Nanash 
the  AuHiionite  came  up.  and  en- 
camped against  Jabe.^h  -  gilead: 
and  all  the  men  of  dabesh  said

with  us,  and  we  win  serve  thee, 
And  Naljash  the  Ammonite  an- 
swered them,  On  this  condition 
will  I  make  a  covenant  with  you, 
that  I  may  thrust  out  all  your 
right  eyes,  and  lay  it  for  a  re- 
proach upon  all  Israel. 

1  Sam.  xxviii,  1.  And  it  came  to 
pass  ill  those  days,  that  the  Philis- 
tines gathered  their  armies  to- 
gether for  warfare,  to  fight  with 
Israel:  and  Achish  said  unto 
David.  Know  thou  assuredly,  that 
thou  Shalt  go  out  with  me  to 
battle,  thou  and  thy  men. 

2  Sam.  ii,  27.  And  Joab~said, 
As  God  liveth,  unless  thou  hadst 
Bp<jken,  surely  then  in  the  morn- 
ing the  people  had  gone  up  every 
one  from  following  his  brother. 

2  Sam.  XX,  16, 17,  19,  20.  Then 
cried  a  wise  woinau  out  of  the 
city,  Hear,  hear;  say,  I  pray  you, 
unto  Joab,  Come  near  hither,  that 
I  may  speak  with  thee.  And 
when  he  was  come  near  unto  her, 
the  woman  said,  Ai^t  thou  Joab? 
And  he  answered,  I  am  he.  Then 
ehe  said  unto  him.  Hear  the  words 
of  thitie  handmaid.  And  he  an- 
swered, I  do  hear.  I  am  one  of 
them  that  are  peacable  and  faith- 
ful in  Israel:  thou  seekest  to  de- 
stroy a  city  and  a  mother  ia 
Israel:  why  wilt  thou  swallow  up 
the  inheritance  of  the  Lord?  And 
Joab  answered  and  said,  Far  be 
it,  far  be  it  from  me,  that  I  should 
swallow  up  or  destroy. 

1  Kings  xx,  2,  4.  And  he  sent 
messfugers  to  Ahabkiug  of  Israel 
into  the  city,  and  said  unto  him, 
Tlius  saith  Beu-hadad.  And  the 
king  of  Israel  answered  and  said. 
My  lord,0  king,  according  to  thy 
saying,  1  am  thine,  and  all  that  I 
have. 

2  Kings  xviii,  27-30.  But  Rab- 
ehakeh  said  unto  them.  Hath  my 
master  sent  me  to  thy  master,  and 
to  thee,  to  speak  these  words? 
hath  he  not  sent  me  to  the  men 
Which  sit  on  the  wall,  that  they 
may  eat  their  own  dung,-and  drink 
their  own  piss  with  you  ?  Then 
Kab-shakeh  stood  and  cried  with 
a  loud  voice  iu  the  Jew's  language, 
and  spake,  saying.  Hear  the  word 
of  the  great  king,  the  king  of  As- 
syria: Thus  saith  tlae  king,  Let 
not  Hezekiah  deceive  you;  for  he 
shall  not  be  able  to  deliver  you 
out  of  his  hand:  Neither  let  Heze- 
kiah make  you  trust  in  the  Lord, 
saying.  The  Lokd  will  surely  de- 
liver us,  and  this  city  shall  not  be 
delivered  into  the  hand  of  the 
king  of  Assyria. 

2  Ohron.  xxxii,  18.  Then  they 
cried  with  a  loud  voice  in  the 
Jews'  speech  unto  the  people  of 
Jerusalem  tliat  icere  on  the  wall, 
to  affright  them,  and  to  trouble 
them;  that  they  might  take  the 
city 


Isa.  xxxvi,  2, 3, 13, 14, 16.  And  the 

king  of  Assyria  sent  Rab-shakeh 
from  Lachish  to  Jerusalem,  unto 
king  Hezekiah,  with  a  great  army: 
and  he  stood  by  the  conduit  of  the 
upper  pool.  In  the  highway  of  the 
fuller's  field.  Then  came  forth 
unto  him  Eliakim,  Hilkiah's  son, 
which  was  over  the  house,  and 
Shebna,  the  scribe,  and  Joah, 
Asaph's  son,  the  recorder.  Then 
Rabshakeh  stood,  and  cried  with  a 
loud  voice  in  the  Jews'  language, 
and  said,  Hear  ye  the  words  of  the 
great  king,  the  king  of  Assyria. 
Thus  saith  the  king.  Let  not  He- 
zekiah deceive  you;  for  he  shall 
not  be  able  to  deliver  you.  Hear- 
ken not  to  Hezekiah:  for  thus  saith 
the  king  of  Assyria,  Make  an 
agreement  with  me  by  a  present, 
and  come  out  to  me :  and  eat  ye 
every  one  of  his  vine,  and  every 
one  of  his  flg  tree,  and  drink  ye 
every  one  the  waters  of  his  own 
cistern. 

Isa.  xxxvii,  11-13.  Behold,  thou 
hast  heard  what  the  kings  of  As- 
syria have  done  to  all  lands,  by 
destroying  them  utterly,  and  shalt 
thou  be  delivered?  Have  the  gods 
of  the  nations  delivered  them 
which  my  fathers  have  destroyed, 
as  Gozan,  and  Haran,  and  Rezeph, 
and  the  children  of  Eden  which 
were  in  Telassar?  Where  is  the 
king  of  Hamath,  and  the  king  of 
Arphad,  and  the  king  of  the  city 
of  Sepharvaim,  Hena,  and  ivah? 

CAPITULATION. 
Jer.  xxi,  8,  9.  And  unto  this 
people  thou  shalt  say,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  Behold,  I  set  before  you 
the  way  of  life,  and  the  way  of 
death.  He  that  abideth  in  this 
city  shall  die  by  the  sword,  and  by 
the  famine,  and  by  the  pestilence: 
but  he  that  goeth  out,  and  falleth 
to  the  Chaldeans  that  besiege  you, 
he  shall  live,  and  his  life  shall  be 
unto  him  for  a  prey. 

Jer.  xxvii,  11-13.  But  the  nations 
that  bring  their  neck  under  the 
yoke  of  the  king  of  Babylon,  and 
serve  him,  those  will  I  let  remain 
still  in  their  own  land,  saith  the 
Loed;  and  they  shaii  till  it,  and 
dwell  therein.  I  spake  also  to 
Zedekiah  king  of  Judah  accord- 
ing to  all  these  worJs,  saying, 
Bring  your  necks  under  the  yoke 
of  the  kingof  Babylon,  and  serve 
him  and  his  people,  and  live.  Why 
will  ye  die,  thou  and  thy  people, 
by  the  sword,  by  the  famine,  and 
by  the  pestilence,  as  the  Loed 
hath  spoken  against  the  nation 
that  will  not  serve  the  king  of 
Babylon? 

Jer.  xxxviii,  17-23.  Then  said 
Jeremiah  unto  Zedekiah,  Thus 
saith  the  Lokd,  the  God  of  hosts, 
the  God  of  Israel,  If  thou  wilt  as- 
suredly go  fortli  unto  the  king  of 
Babylon's  princes,  then  tliy  soul

shall  live,  and  this  city  shall  not 
be  burnt  with  fire;  and  thou  shalt 
live,  and  thine  house :  But  if  thou 
wilt  not  go  forth  to  the  king  of 
Babylon's  princes,  then  shall  this 
city  be  given  into  the  hand  of  the 
Chaldeans,  and  they  shall  burn  it 
with  fire,and  thou  shalt  not  escape 
out  of  their  hand.  And  Zedekiah 
the  king  paid  unto  Jeremiah,  I  am 
afraid  of  the  Jews  that  are  fallen 
to  the  Chaldeans,  lest  they  deliver 
me  into  their  hand,  and  they  mock 
me.  But  Jeremiah  said.  They 
shall  not  deliver  thee.  Obey,  I 
beseech  thee,  the  voice  of  the 
Lord,  which  I  speak  unto  thee:  so 
it  shall  be  well  unto  thee,  and  thy 
soul  shall  live.  But  if  thou  refuse 
to  go  forth,  this  is  the  word  that 
the  Lord  hath  shewed  me:  And, 
behold,  all  the  women  that  ara 
left  in  the  king  of  Judah's  house 
shall  be  brought  forth  to  the  !<  ing- 
ot Babylon's  princes,  and  those 
women  shall  say.  Thy  friends  have 
set  thee  on,  and  have  prevailed 
against  thee;  thy  feet  are  sunk  la 
the  mire,  and  they  are  turned 
away  back.  So  they  shall  bring 
out  all  thy  wives  and  thy  children 
to  the  Chaldeans;  and  thou  shalt 
not  escape  out  of  their  hand,  but 
Shalt  be  taken  by  the  hand  of  the 
king  of  Babylon :  and  thou  shalt 
cause  this  city  to  be  burnt  with 
fire. 

Josh,  ix,  25, 27.  And  now,  behold, 
we  are  in  thine  hand :  as  it  seem- 
eth  good  and  right  unto  thee  to  do 
unto  us,  do.  And  Joshua  made 
them  that  day  hewers  of  wood 
and  drawers  of  water  for  the  con- 
gregation, and  for  the  altar  of  the 
Lord,  even  unto  this  day,  in  the 
place  which  he  should  choose. 

1  Kings  xx,  34.  And  Ben-hadad 
said  unto  him,  The  cities,  which 
my  father  took  from  thy  father,  I 
will  restore;  and  thou  shalt  make 
streets  for  thee  in  Damascus,  as 
my  fat  her  made  iu  Samaria.  Then 
said  Ahab,  1  will  send  thee  away 
with  this  covenant.  So  he  made  a 
covenant  with  him,  and  sent  him 
away

Gen.  xlix,  7.  Cursed  be  their

1  Sam.  xxii,  2.  And  every  one 
that  v-as  in  distress,  and  every 
one  that  was  in  debt,  and  every 
one  that  was  discontented,  ga- 
thered themselves  unto  him;  and 
he  became  a  captain  over  them  : 
and  there  were  with  him  about 
four  hundred  men. 

1  Sam.  XXV,  21-24,  28.  (Now 
David  had  said.  Surely  in  vain 
have  I  kept  all  tljat  this  felloio 
hath  in  the  wilderness,  so  that 
nothing  was  missed  of  all  that 


jpertained  onto  him ;  and  he  hath 
required  me  evil  for  good.  So  and 
more  also  do  God  unto  the  ene- 
mies of  David,  if  I  leave  of  all 
that  pertaineth  to  him,  by  the 
morning  light,  any  that  pisseth 
against  the  wall.)  And  when  Abi- 
gail saw  David,  she  liasted,  and 
lighted  off  the  ass,  and  fell  before 
David  on  her  face,  and  bowed  her- 
Belf  to  the  ground,  And  fell  at  his 
feet,  and  said,  Upon  me,  my  lord, 
upon  me  let  this  iniquity  be;  and 
let  thine  handmaid,  I  pray  thee, 
speak  in  thine  audience,  and  hear 
the  words  of  thine  handmaid.  I 
pray  thee,  forgive  the  trespass  of 
thine  handmaid:  for  the  Lord  will 
certainly  make  my  lord  a  sure 
house ;  because  my  lord  flghteth 
the  battles  of  the  Lord,  and  evil 
hath  not  been  found  in  thee  all 
thy  days. 

1  Kings  xvl,  21,  22.  Then  were 
the  people  of  Israel  divided  into 
two  parts:  half  of  the  paople  fol- 
lowed Tibni  the  son  ot  Giuath,  to 
make  him  king;  and  half  followed 
Omri.  But  the  people  that  fol- 
lowed Omri  prevailed  against  the 
people  that  followed  Tibni  the 
Bou  of  Ginath :  so  Tibui  died,  and 
Omri  reigned. 

Neh.  iv,  7,  8,  17,  22,  23.  But  it 
came  to  pass,f/iat  when  Sanhallat, 
and  Tobiah,  and  the  Arabians,  and 
the  Ammonites,  and  the  Ashdo- 
hites,  heard  that  the  walls  of 
Jerusalem  were  made  up,  and 
that  the  breaches  began  to  be 
etoppad,  then  they  were  very 
wroth.  And  conspired  all  of  them 
together  to  coma  and  to  fight 
against  Jerus  ilem,  and  to  hinder 
it.  They  whicli  builded  on  the 
wall,  and  they  that  bare  burdens, 
with  those  that  laded,  every  one 
with  one  ot  his  hands  wrouglit  iu 
the  work,  and  with  the  other 
Jiand  held  a  weapon.  Likewise 
at  tlic  same  time  said  I  unto  the 
people,  Let  every  one  with  his 
servant  lodge  within  Jerusalem, 
that  in  the  night  they  may  be  a 
guard  to  us,  and  labour  on  the 
day.  So  neither  I,  nor  my  breth- 
ren, nor  my  servants,  nor  the  men 
of  the  guard  which  followed  me, 
none  of  us  put  off  our  clothes, 
saving  that  every  one  put  them 
off  for  washing. 

Isa.  XV,  9.  For  the  waters  of

THE  SEA. 

€f6n.  \,  9, 10.  And  God  said,  Let 
the  waters  under  the  heaven  be 
gathered  together  unto  one  place, 
and  let  the  dry  land  appear:  and 
it  was  so.  And  God  called  the  dry 
land  Earth;  and  the  gathering  to- 
gether of  the  waters  called  he 
Seas:  and  God  saw  that  it  was 
good. 

Neh.  ix,  10, 11.  And  shewedst 
Bigns  and  wonders  upon  Pharaoh, 
and  on  all  his  servants,  and  on  all 
the  people  of  his  land;  for  thou 
knewest  that  they  dealt  proudly 
against  them:  so  didst  thou  get 
thee  a  name,  as  it  is  this  day. 
And  thou  didst  divide  the  sea  be- 
fore them,  8o  that  they  went 
through  the  midst  of  the  sea  on 
the  dry  land;  and  tlieir  persecutors 
thou  threwest  into  the  deeps,  as  a 
Btone  into  the  miglity  waters. 

Job  xxvi,  10.  He  hath  compassed

Job  xxxviii,  8, 10, 11, 16.  Or  tcho 
Bhut  up  the  sea  with  doors,  when 
it  brake  furth,  as  if  it  had  issued 
out  of  the  womb?  And  brake  up 
for  it  my  decreed  place,  and  set 
bars  and  doors,  And  said,  Hitlier- 
to  slialt  thou  come,  but  no  further; 
and  here  shall  thy  proud  waves 
be  stayed?  Hast  thou  entered  into 
the  springs  of  the  sea?  or  hast 
thou  waited  in  the  search  of  the 
depth? 

I's.  xxxiii,  7.  He  gathereth  the

Btorehouses. 

Ps.  civ,  6-9.  Thou  coveredstit

At  thy  rebuke  they  fled;  at  the 
voice  of  thy  thunder  they  hasted 
away.  Tliey  go  up  by  the  moun- 
tains; they  go  down  by  the  valleys 
unto  the  place  which  thou  hast 
founded  tor  them.  Thou  hast  set  a 
hound  that  they  may  not  pass 
over;  that  they  turn  not  again  to 
cover  the  earth, 

Isa.  V,  30.  And  in  that  day  they 
Bhall  roar  against  them  like  the 
roaring  of  the  sea:  and  if  one  look 
unto  the  laud,  behold  darkness

his  disciples  were  entered,  and 
that  Jesus  went  not  with  his  dis- 
ciples into  the  boat,  but  that  his 
disciples  were  gone  away  alone; 
(Howbeit  there  came  other  boats 
from  Tiberias,  nigh  unto  the  place 
where  they  did  eat  bread,  after

Isa.  xxxiii,  23.  Thy  tackllnga 
are  loosed;  they  could  not  well

lame  take  the  prey. 

Ezek.  xxvii,  8,  26-29.  The  in- 
habitants of  Zidou  and  Arvad 
were  thy  mariners:  thy  wise  men, 
0  Tyrus,  that  were  in  thee,  were 
thy  pilots.  Thy  rowers  have 
brought  thee,  into  great  waters; 
the  east  wind  hath  broken  thee 
in  the  midst  of  the  seas.  Thy 
riches,  and  thy  fairs,  tliy  mer-

which  is  in  the  midst  of  thee,  shall 
fall  into  the  midst  of  tlie  seas  in 
the  day  of  tliy  ruin.  Tlie  suburbs

all  the  pilots  of  the  sea,  shall  c  jme

Jonah  i,  3, 13.  But  Jonah  rose  up 
to  flee  unto  Tarshish  trom  the 
presence  of  tho  Lokd,  and  went 
down  to  Joppa;  and  he  found  a 
ship  going  to  Tassiiish:  so  he  paid 
tho  fare  thereof,  and  went  down 
into  it,  to  go  witli  them  unto 
Tarshisli  from  the  presence  ol  the 
Lord.  Neverihi:li.-8s  the  men 
rowed  hard  to  luring  it  to  the 
land;  but  they  could  not:  for  the 
sea  wrought,  and  was  teiupestu. 
ous  against  them. 

Marie  vi,  47,  4a  And  when  even 


WATEB. 


was  come,  the  ship  was  In  tho 
midst  of  tlie  sea,  and  he  alone  on 
the  land.  And  he  saw  them  toil- 
ing' in  rowing:  (for  the  wind  was 
contrary  unto  them:)  and  about 
the  fourth  watch  of  the  night  he 
Cometh  unto  them,  walking  upon 
the  sea,  and  would  have  passed 
by  them. 

Mark  viil,  14.  Now  the  disciples 
had  forgotten  to  take  bread, 
neither  had  they  in  the  ship  with 
them  more  than  one  loaf. 

John  vl,  16, 17.  And  when  even 
was  now  come,  his  disciplbS  went 
down  unto  the  sea,  And  entered 
Into  a  ship,  and  went  over  the  sea 
toward  Capernaum:  and  it  was 
now  dark,  and  Jesus  was  nqt 
come  to  them. 

Acts  xvi,  11.  Therefore  loosing 
from  Troas,  we  came  with  a 
straight  course  to  Samothracla, 
and  the  next  day  to  Neapoiis. 

Acts  XX,  4,  5, 13-15.  And  there 
accompanied  him  into  Asia, 
Sopater  of  Berea;  and  of  the 
Thessalonians,  Avistarchus  and 
Secuudus;  and  Gains  of  Derbe, 
and  Timotlieus;  an<l  of  Asia.  Ty- 
chicus  and  Trophimus.  These, 
going  before,  tarried  lor  us  at 
Troas.  And  we  went  before  to 
ship,  and  sailed  unto  Assos,  there 
intending  to  take  in  Paul:  for  so 
had  he  appointed,  minding  him- 
Belf  to  go  afoot.  And  when  he 
met  with  us  at  Assos,  we  took 
him  in,  and  came  to  Mitylene. 
And  we  sailed  thence,  and  came 
the  next  day  over  against  Chios; 
and  the  next  day  we  arrived  at 
Samos,  and  tanie<i  at  Trogyllium; 
and  the  next  day  we  c^me  to 
Miletus. 

Acts  xxi,  1-3.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  that,  after  we  were  gotten 
from  them,  and  had  launched,  we 
came  with  a  straight  course  unto 
Coos,  and  the  day  following  unto 
Rhodes,  and  trom  thence  unto 
Patara:  And  finding  a  ship  sail- 
ing over  unto  Plienicia,  we  went 
aboard,  and  set  forth.  Now  when 
we  had  discovered  Cyprus,  we 
left  it  on  the  left  hand,  and  sailed 
Into  Svria,  and  landed  at  Tyre: 
for  there  the  ship  was  to  unlade 
her  burden. 

Acts  xxvii,  3-10,  16-19,  27- 
B2  37-40.  And  the  next  day  we 
touched  at  Sidon.  And  Julius 
courteously  entreated  Paul,  and 
gave  him  liberty  to  go  unto  his 
Iriends  to  refresh  himself.  And 
when  we  had  launched  from 
thence,  we  sailed  under  Cyprus, 
because  the  winds  were  contrary. 
And  when  we  had  sailed  over  the 
sea  of  Cilicia  and  Paniphylia,  wo 
came  to  Myra,  a  city  of  Lycia. 
And  there  the  centurion  found  a 
8hip  of  Alexandria  sailing  into 
Italy,  and  lie  put  us  therein.  And 
when  we  had  saUed  slowly  many 


days,  and  scarce  were  come  over 
against  Cnldus,  the  wind  not 
suffering  ns,  we  sailed  under 
Crete,  over  against  Sahnone; 
And,  hardly  passing  it.  came  unto 
a  place  which  in  called  The  Fair 
Havens,  nigh  whereunto  was  the 
city  of  Lase  I.  N(jw,  when  much 
time  was  spent,  and  when  sailing 
was  now  dangerous,  because  the 
fast  was  now  already  past,  Paul 
admonished  them,  And  said  unto 
them.  Sirs,  I  perceive  that  this 
voyage  will  be  with  hurt  and 
much  damage,  not  only  of  the 
lading  and  ship,  but  also  of  our 
lives.  And  running  under  a 
certain  island  which  is  called 
Clauda,  we  had  much  work 
to  come  by  the  boat:  Which 
when  they  had  taken  up,  they 
used  helps,  undergirding  the  ship; 
and,  fearing  lest  they  should  fall 
into  the  quicksands,  strake  sail, 
and  so  Wi'ra  driven.  And  we 
being  exceedingly  tossed  with  a 
tempest,  the  next  day  they  light- 
ened the  ship;  And  the  third 
day  we  cast  out  with  our  own 
I  hands  the  tackling  of  the  ship. 
j  But  when  the  fourteenth  night 
I  was  come,  as  we  were  driven  up 
and  down  in  Adria,  about  mid- 
night the  shipmen  deemed  that 
'  they  drew  near  to  some  country: 
i  And  sounded,  and  found  it  twenty 
fathoms:  and  when  they  had  gone 
{ a  little  further,  they  sounded 
i  again,  and  found  it  fifteen  fathoms. 
Then  fearing  lest  they  should 
have  fallen  upon  rocks,  they  cast 
four  anchors  out  of  the  stern,  and 
wished  for  the  day.  And  as  the 
shipmen  were  about  to  flee  out 
of  the  ship,  when  they  had  let 
i  down  the  boat  into  the  sea,  under 
!  colour  as  though  they  would  have 
cast  anchors  out  of  the  foreship, 
Paul  said  to  the  centurion  and  to 
the  soldiers.  Except  these  abide 
in  the  ship,  ye  caimot  be  saved. 
Then  the  soldiers  cut  off  the  ropes 
of  the  boat,  and  let  her  fall  off. 
1  And  we  were  in  all  in  the  ship 
two  hundred  threescore  and  six- 
I  teen  souls.  And  when  they  had 
!  eaten  enough,  they  lightened  the 
,  ship,  and  cast  out  the  wheat  into 
the  sea.*  And  when  it  was  day, 
they  knew  not  the  land:  but  they 
discovered  a  certain  creek  with  a 
shore,  into  the  which  they  were 
minded,  if  it  were  possible,  to 
thrust  in  the  ship.  And  when 
they  had  taken  up  tho  anchors, 
they  committed  themselves  unto 
the  sea,  and  loosed  the  rudder- 
bauds,  and  hoised  up  the  main- 
sail to  the  wind,  and  made  toward 
shore. 

Acts  xxvlll,  11-13.  And  after 
three  months  we  departed  in  a 
ship  of  Alexandria,  which  had 
wintered  in  the  isle,  whose  sjgn 
was  Castor  and  Pollux.  And 
landing  at  Syracuse,  we  tarried 
tiiATQ  three  days.  And  from 
765 


thence  we  fetched  a  compass, 
and  came  to  lllieglum:  and  after 
one  day  tho  south  wind  blew, 
and  we  came  the  next  day  to 
Puteoli. 

James  ill,  4.  Behold  also  the 
ships,  which,  though  they  be  so 
groat,  and  are  driven  of  fierce 
winds,  yet  are  they  turned  about 
with  a  very  small  helm,  whither- 
soever the  governer  lisleth. 
Stjkms. 

Jonah  i,  4-6,  11,  12.  But  tho 
Loud  sent  out  a  great  wind  into 
the  sea,  and  there  was  a  mighty 
tempest  in  the  sea,  so  that  the 
ship  was  like  to  be  broken.  Then 
the  mariners  were  afraid,  and 
cried  every  man  unto  his  god,  and 
cast  forth  the  wares  tliat  icerQ 
in  the  ship  into  the  sea,  to  lighten 
it  of  them:  but  Jonah  was  gone 
down  into  the  sides  of  the  ship; 
and  he  lay,  and  was  fast  asleep. 
So  the  shipmaster  came  to  him, 
and  said  unto  him,  "What  meanest 
thou,  O  sleeper?  arise,  call  upon 
thy  God,  if  so  be  that  God  will 
think  upon  us,  that  we  perish  not. 
Then  said  they  unto  him.  What 
shall  we  do  unto  thee,  that  the 
sea  may  be  calm  unto  us?  (for  the 
sea  wrought,  and  was  tempest- 
uous.) And  he  said  unto  them, 
Take  me  up,  and  cast  me  forth 
into  the  eea;  so  shall  the  sea  be 
calm  unto  you:  for  I  know  that 
for  my  sake  this  great  tempest  ia 
upon  you. 

Matth.  viil,  23-26.  And  wlien  he 
•was  entered  into  a  ship,  his  dis- 
ciples followed  him.  And,  be- 
hold, there  arose  a  i^reat  tempest 
in  the  sea,  insomuch  that  the  ship 
was  covered  with  the  waves:  but 
he  was  asleep.  And  his  disciples 
came  to  him.  and  awoke  him,  say- 
ing. Lord,  save  us:  we  perish. 
And  he  saith  unto  them,  Why  are 
ye  fearful,  O  ye  of  little  faith? 
Then  he  arose,  and  rebuked  the 
winds  and  the  sea;  and  there  waa 
a  great  calm. 

3Iatth.  xlv,  24.  But  the  ship  waa 
now  in  the  rnidst  of  the  sea,  toss- 
ed with  waves:  for  the  wind  was 
contrary. 

Mark  iv,  37.  And  there  arose 
a  great  storm  of  wind,  and  the 
waves  beat  into  the  ship,  so  that 
it  was  now  full. 

Luke  vili,  22, 23.  Now  it  came 
to  pass  on  a  certain  day.  that  he 
went  into  a  ship  with  his  dis- 
ciples; and  he  said  unto  them,  Lot 
us  go  over  unto  the  other  side  of 
the  lake.  And  they  launched 
forth.  But  as  they  sailed,  he  fell 
asleep:  and  thA"e  came  down  a 
storm  of  wind  on  the  lake;  and 
they  were  filled  with  water,  and 
were  in  jeopardy. 

John  vl,  18.  And  the  eea  arose, 
by  reason  of  a  great  wind  that 
blew. 


WATER. 


Acts  xxvit  13-15,  20.  And 
IVhen  the  south  wind  blew  softly, 
Bupposing  tbat  thoy  had  obtained 
their  purpose,  loosing  thence,  tlaey 
Bailed  clo.>^e  by  Crete.  But  not 
long  after  there  arose  against  it  a 
tempestuous  wind,  called  Euro- 
Clydon.  And  when  the  ship  was 
caught,  and  could  not  bear  up 
into  the  Avind,  we  let  ?ier  drive. 
And  when  neither  sun  nor  stars 
In  many  days  appeared,  and  no 
Bmall  tempest  lay  on  us,  all  hope 
that  we  should  be  saved  was  then 
taken  away 

Shipweeck,  ETO. 
Fs.  xlviil,  7.  Thou  breakest  the 
Ships  of  Tarshish  with  an  east 
wind. 

1  Kings  jcxii,  48,  49.  Jehosha* 
phat  made  ships  of  Tharshish  to 
go  to  Ophir  for  gold:  but  they 
went  not;  for  the  ships  were 
broken  at  Eziou-geber.  Then 
said  Ahaziah  the  son  of  Ahab 
unto  Jehoshaphat,  Let  my  ser- 
vants go  with  thy  servants  in  the 
ships:  but  Jehoshaphat  would 
not. 

2  Chron.  xx,  87.  Then  Eliezer 
the  son  of  Dodavah  of  Mareshah 
prophesied  against  Jehoshaphat, 
eaying,  Because  thou  hast  joined 
thyself  with  Ahaziah,  the  Lord 
hath  broken  thy  works.  And 
the  ships  were  broken,  that  they 
were  not  able  to  go  to  Tarshish. 

■  Jsa.xxxiii,  21.  But  there  the 
glorious  LoED  toill  be  unto  us  a 
place  of  broad  rivers  awcZ  streams; 
Wherein  shall  go  no  galley  with 
oars,  neither  shall  gallant  ship 
pass  thereby. 

Szek.  xxvi,  16, 17.  Then  all  the 
princes  of  the  sea  shall  come 
down  from  their  thrones, and  lay 
away  their  robes,  and  put  off 
their  broidered  garments:  they 
Shall  clothe  themselves  with 
trembling;  they  shall  sit  upon 
the  ground,  and  shall  tremble  at 
every  moment,  and  be  astonished 
at  thee.  And  they  shall  take  up 
a  lamentation  for  thee,  and  say  to 
thee,  How  art  thou  destroyed, 
tJiat  wast  inhabited  of  sea-faring 
men,  the  renowned  city,  which 
wast  strong  in  the  sea,  she  and 
her  inhabitants,  which  cause  their 
terror  to  be  on  all  that  haunt  it. 

Acts  xxvii,  41-44.  And  falling 
Into  a  place  where  two  seas  met, 
they  ran  the  ship  aground:  and  the 
fore-part  stuck  fast,  and  remained 
unmoveablo,  but  the  hinder-part 
was  broken  with  the  violence  of 
the  Avavps.  And  the  soldiers* 
counsel  was  to  kiU  the  prisoners, 
lest  any  of  ttiem  should  swim  out, 
and  escape.  But  the  centurion, 
willing  to  save  Paul,  kept  them 
from  their  purpose;  and  com- 
manded that  they  which  could 
swim  should  cast  themselves  first 


into  the  sea,  and  get  to  lani:  And 
the  rest,  some  on  boards,  and 
some  on  broken  pieces  of  the  ship. 
And  so  it  came  to  pass,  that  they 
escaped  all  safe  to  land. 

Acts  xxviii,  1.  And  when  they 
were  escaped,  then  they  knew 
that  the  Island  was  called  Melita, 

Bev.  xviii,  17-19.  For  in  one 
hour  so  great  riches  is  come  to 
nought.  And  every  shipmaster, 
and  all  the  company  In  ships,  and 
sailors,  and  as  many  as  trade  by 
sea,  stood  afar  off.  And  cried, 
when  they  saw  the  smoke  of  her 
burning,  saying.  What  city  is  like 
unto  this  great  city!  And  they 
cast  dust  on  their  heads,  and 
cried,  weeping  and  wailing,  say- 
ing, Alas,  alas,  that  great  city, 
wherein  were  made  rich  all  that 
had  ships  in  the  sea  by  reason  of 
her  costliness!  for  in  one  hour  is 
she  made  desolate. 

Deliverancb. 
'  P5.  cvii,  23-30.  They  that  go 
down  to  the  sea  in  ships,  that  do 
business  in  great  waters;  These 
see  the  works  of  the  Loan,  and  his 
wonders  in  the  deep.  For  he 
commandeth,  and  raiseth  the 
stormy  wind,  which  lifteth  up  the 
waves  thereof.  They  mount  up 
to  the  heaven,  they  go  down  again 
to  the  depths;  their  soul  is  melted 
because  of  trouble.  They  reel  to 
and  fro,  and  stagger  like  a  drunk- 
en man,  and  are  at  their  wit's  end. 
Then  they  cry  unto  the  Lokd  in 
their  trouble,  and  he  bringeth 
them  out  of  their  distresses.  He 
maketh  the  storm  a  calm,  so  that 
the  waves  thereof  are  still.  Then 
are  they  glad  because  they  be 
quiet;  so  he  bringeth  them  unto 
their  desired  haven. 

Acts  xxvii,  21-26.  But  after 
long  abstinence  Paul  stood  forth 
in  the  midst  of  them,  and  said. 
Sirs,  ye  should  have  hearkened 
unto  me,  and  not  have  loosed 
from  Crete,  and  to  have  gained 
this  harm  and  loss.  And  now  I 
exhort  you  to  be  of  good  cheer : 
for  there  shall  be  no  loss  of  any 
man's  life  among  you,  but  of  the 
ship.  For  there  stood  by, me  this 
night  the  angel  of  God,  whose  I 
am,  and  whom  I  serve,  Saying, 
Fear  not,  Paul;  thou  must  be 
brought  before  Cesar:  and,  lo, 
God  hath  given  thee  all  them  that 
sail  with  thee.  Wherefore,  sirs,  be 
of  good  cheer:  for  I  believe  God, 
that  it  shall  be  even  as  it  was  told 
me.  Howbeit  we  must  be  cast 
upon  a  certain  island.

perpetual  generations:  I  do  set 
my  bow  in  the  cloud,  and  it  shall

waste  mountains  and  hills,  and

bring  the  blind  by  a  way  tMt 
they  knew  not;  I  will  lead  them 
in  paths  that  they  have  not

part. 

Nahum  i.  4.  He  rehuketh  the 
sea,  and  maketh  it  dry,  and  drieth

eth,  and  Carmel,  and  the  flower 
of  Lebanon  languisheth. 

Zech.  X,  11.  And  he  shall  pass

For  we  are  sold,  I  and  my  people, 
to  be  destroyed,  to  be  slain,  and 
to  perish.  But  if  we  had  been  sold 
for  bondmen  and  bondwomen.  I

king's  damage. 

Esther  viil.  16,  17.  The  Jews 
had  light,  and  gladness,  and  joy, 
and  lionour.  And  in  every  pro- 
vince, and  in  every  city,  whither- 
soever the  king's  commandment 
and  his  decree  came,  the  Jews 
had  joy  and  gladness,  vi  feast  and 
a  good  day.  And  many  of  tlie 
people  of  the  land  became  Jews; 
lor  the  fear  of  the  Jews  fell  upon 
them. 

Esther  ix,  1,  4.  Now  In  the

Adar,  on  the  thirteenth  day  of  the

be  put  in  execution,  in  the  day 
that  the  enemies  of  the  Jews 
hoped  to  have  power  over  them, 
(though  it  was  turned  to  the  con- 
trary, that  the  Jews  had  rule  over 
them  that  hated  them.)  For 
Mordecd  was  great  in  the  king's 
house,  and  his  fame  went  out 
throughout  all  the  provinces:  for

and  greater.

Ezek.  xxxvi,  21-24.  But  I  had

tlie  house  of  Israel  had  profaned

land.

Zech.  viil,  13-15.  And  it  shall

shall  be  a  hlessiug:  fear  not,  bat 
let  your  hands  he  strong.  For 
thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts.  As  I 
thought  to  punish  you,  when 
your  fathers  provoked  me  to

MAN. 
(Page  377,  etc.) 

Job  xxlx,  11-14.  When  the  ear 
heard  me,  then  it  blessed  me;  and 
when  ttie  eye  saw  me,  it  gave  wit- 
ness to  me ;  Because  I  delivered 
the  poor  that  cried,  and  the  fa- 
therless, and  him  that  had  none  to 
help  him.  The  blessing  of  him 
that  was  ready  to  perish  came 
upon  me :  and  I  caused  the  wi- 
dow's heart  to  sing  for  joy.  I  put 
on  righteousness,  and  it  clothed 
me:  my  judgment  ztsaa  as  a  robe 
and  a  diadem. 

Ps.  Ixxxil,  6-8.  I  have  said.  Ye. 
are  gods;  and  all  of  you  are  chil- 
dren of  the  most  High:  But  ye 
shall  die  like  men,  and  fall  like 
one  of  the  princes.  Arise,  OGod, 
judge  the  eartii:  for  thou  shalt  in- 
heiit  all  nations. 

Ps.  cxliv,  3  4.  Lord,  what  is 
man,  that  thou  takest  knowledge 
of  him!  or  the  son  of  man,  that 
thou  makest  account  of  liim!  Man 
is  like  to  vanity :  his  days  are  as  a 
shadow  that  passeth  away. 

Prov.  XX,  13.  A  merry  heart 
maketh  a  cheerful  countenance: 
but  by  sorrow  of  the  heart  the 
spirit  is  broken. 

Eccles.  iii,  20,  21.  All  go  unto 
one  place :  all  are  of  the  dust,  and 
all  turn  to  dust  again.  Who 
knoweth  the  spirit  of  man  tliat 
goeth  upward,  and  the  spirit  of 
the  beast  that  goeth  downward  to 
the  earth? 

Micah  vil.  6.  6.  Trust  ye  not  In 
a  friend,  put  ye  not  confidence  in 
a  guide;  keep  the  doors  of  tliy 
mouth  from  her  that  lieth  in  thy 
bosom.  For  the  son  dishonoureth 
the  father,  the  daughter  risetli  up 
against  her  motlier,  the  daughter- 
in-law  against  her  molher-in-law; 
a  man's  enemies  are  the  men  of 
his  own  house. 

Matth.  xli,  4t2.  The  queen  of  the 
south  shall  rise  up  in  the  judgment 
with  this  generation,  and  shall 
condemn  it:  for  she  came  from  the 
uttermost  parts  of  the  earth  to 
hear  the  wis  lorn  of  Solomon;  and, 
behold,  a  greater  than  Solomon  is 
here. 

1  Cor.  xl,  5-7, 11-13.  But  every 
woman  that  piayeth  or  propiie- 
sieth  with  her  head  uncovered, 
discovereth  her  head  :  fur  that  is 
even  all  one  as  if  she  were  shaven. 
Fur  it  the  woman  be  not  covered, 
let  lier  also  be  shorn :  but  if  it  be 
a  shame  for  a  woman  to  be  shorn 
or  shaven,  let  her  be  covered. 
For  a  man  indeed  ought  not  to 
over  his  head,  forasmucli  as  he  is 
the  Ima^e  and  glory  of  God;  but 
773 


the  woman  Is  the  plory  of  the 
man.  Nevertiieless,  neither  is  the 
man  without  the  woman,  neitiier 
the  woman  without  the  man.  In 
the  Lord.  For  as  the  woman  is  of 
the  man,  even  so  is  the  man  also 
by  the  woman :  but  all  things  of 
God.  Judge  in  yourselves:  is  it 
comely  that  a  woman  pray  unto 
God  uncovered  ? 

James  1, 12.  Blessed  is  the  mtiu 
that  eudareth  temptation :  for 
when  he  is  tried,  he  shall  receive 
the  crown  of  life,  which  the  Lord 
hath  promised  to  them  that  love 
him.

when  the  sun  did  ^et,  they  brought 
unto  him  all  that  were  diseased, 
and  them  that  were  possessed 
with  devils.  And  all  the  cibjr 
was  gathered  together  at  the 
door.  And  he  healed  many  that 
Were  sick  of  divers  diseases,  and 
cast  out  many  devils;  and  suffered 
not  the  devils  to  speak,  because 
they  knew  him.  And  in  the  morn- 
ing, rising  up  a  great  while  before 
day,  he  went  out,  and  departed 
into  a  solitary  place,  and  there 
prayed.  And  Simon,  and  they  that 
were  with  him,  toliowed  after 
him.

songht  him  that  he  would  cast

Let  the  children  flist  be  filled:  for 
it  is  not  meet  to  take  tiie  chil- 
dren's bread,  and  to  cast  it  unto 
the  dogs.  And  she  answered  and 
said  unto  him,  Yes,  Lord  :  yet  the 
dogs  under  the  table  eat  of  the 
children's  crumbs.  And  he  said 
unto  her.  For  this  saying  go  thy 
way;  the  devil  is  gone  out  of  thy 
daughter.  And  when  she  was 
come  to  her  house,  she  found  the 
devil  had  gone  out,  and  her 
daughter  laid  upon  the  bed.

Zerubbabel,  saying,  Not  by  might, 
nor  by  power,  but  by  my  Spirit, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

Matth.  xii,  32.  And  whosoever 
speaketh  a  word  against  tiio  Sou 
of  man,  it  shall  be  forgiven  him: 
but  whosoever  speakeih  against 
the  Holy  Ghost,  it  shall  not  be 
forgiven  him,  neitlier  in  this 
world,  neither  la  the  world  to 
come. 

Acts  viil,  15--20.  Who,  when 
they  were  come  down,  prayed  for 
them,  that  they  might  receive  tlie 
Holy  Ghost.  (For  us  yet  he  was 
fallen  upon  none  of  them:  only 
they  were  baptized  in  the  name 
of  the  Lord  J.-sus.)  Tlien  laid 
they  their  liands  on  them,  and 
tliey  received  the  Holy  Ghost. 
And  when  Simon  saw  that 
through  laying  on  of  the  apostles' 
hands  the  Holy  Gliost  was  given, 
he  offered  them  money,  Saying, 
Give  me  also  this  power,  tliat  ua 
whomsoever  I  lay  lian.ls,  he  may 
receive  the  Holy  Giiost.  But 
Peter  said  unto  Idm,  Tiiy  money 
perish  with  tiiee,  because  thou 
hast  thouglit  that  the  gilt  of  God 
may  be  purchased  with  money. 

Acts  X,  44,  45.  While  Peter  yet 
spake  ihesj  words,  tlie  Holy 
Giiost  fell  ou  all  them  which  he  ird 
the  word.  And  they  of  the  cir- 
cumcislou  which  believed  were 
asionislied,  as  many  as  came  with 
Peter,  because  that  on  the  Gen- 
tiles  also  was  poured  out  the  gilt 
of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

Acts  xi,  15, 16.  And  as  I  began 
to  speak,  tlie  Holy  Giiost  fell  oa 
them,  as  ou  us  at  the  beginning. 
Tlieu  remembered  1  the  vNora  ol 
the  Lord,  how  that  he  said,  John 
indeed  baptized  with  water;  butyo 
shall  be  baptized  with  the  Holy 
Ghost.

Barnabas  and  Pitil  for  the  work 
vlKrennto  I  have  called  them, 
And  when  they  had  fasted  and 
prayed,  and  laid  their  hands  on 
tliein,  they  sent  them  away.  Then 
Situl,  (who  also  is  called  Paul) 
filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost,  set 
hia  eyes  on  him. 

Acts  xvi.  7,  8.  After  they  were 
come  to  Mysia,  they  assayed  to 
go  into  Biihynia:  hut  the  Spirit 
buffered  them  not.  And  they, 
p  issiiig  by  MysIa,  came  down  to 
Troas. 

Acts  six,  6,  7.  And  when  Paul 
had  laid  his  hand3  upon  them,  the 
Ildly  Gliost  came  on  them;  and 
tliey  sp;ilve  with  tongues,  and 
propht-sied.  And  all  the  men 
Were  about  twelve. 

£om.  V,  6.  And  hope  maketh 
not  tislianied;  because  the  love  of 
God  is  shed  abroad  incur  hearts 
by  the  Holy  Ghost,  which  is  given 
Unto  us, 

Piom.  viil,  26,  27.  Likewise  the 
Spirit  also  helpeth  our  infirmities: 
for  we  know  not  what  we  should 
piay  fur  as  we  ought;  but  tlie 
ypiiit  iiself  nu»ketU  intercession 
fur  us  Willi  groauings  which  can- 
liut  be  utttred.  And  he  that 
eearcheth  the  hearts  knoweih 
what  is  the  mind  of  the  Spirit,  be- 
ciiuse  he  niakeih  intercession  for 
the  suinis  according  to  i/te  will  of 
God. 

Cor,  11,  12, 13.  Now  we  have 
received,  not  tiie  spirit  of  the 
World,  but  the  Sjiirit.  which  Is  of 
God;  that  we  might  know  the 
things  tha*'  are  freely  given  to  us 
of  Uod.  Which  tilings  also  we 
epeak,  rot  in  the  words  which 
man's  wisdom  teacheth,  but 
wliich  the  Holy  Ghost  teacheth; 
compaiiiig  gpintual  things  with 
spiriiual. 

1  Cor. xif,3, 4.  Wherefore  I  give 
you  to  u:i<iei stand,  that  no  man

Cullelh  JefcUS  accursed;  and  that 
no  man  can  say  (hat  Jtsus  is  the 
Lord,  hut  by  the  Holy  Ghost. 
Kuw  there  are  diversiiies  of  gitts, 
but  the  same  Spirit. 

2  Cor.  1,  19,  20.  For  the  Son  of 
God,  Jesus  Cnrist.vvho  was  preach- 
ed umung  yuu  by  us,  even  by  me, 
anl  Silvanus,  aud  Timotheus,  was 
nut  yea  and  nay,  but  in  him  was 
yea.  For  all  the  promises  of  God 
in  him  are  yea,  and  in  him  Amen, 
unto  the  glory  ot  God  by  us. 

Gal.  T,  22,  23.  But  the  fruit  of 
the  Spirit  is  luve.  joy,  peace,  long- 
snflTering,  genlleuess,  goodness, 
faitli,  Meekness,  temperance: 
against  such  there  is  no  law. 

Eph.  I,  13, 14.  In  whom  ye  also 
truUed,  alt<  r  that  ye  heard  the 
word  of  truth,  the  gospel  of  your 
salvaliou;  iu  whom  also  after  that 


ye  believed,  ye  were  sealed  with 
that  Holy  Spirit  of  promise,  Whicii 
is  the  earnest  of  our  inheritance, 
until  the  redemption  of  the  pur- 
chased possession,  unto  the  praise 
of  his  glory.

God,  who  liaih  also  given  unto

escipe.if  we  neglect  so  great  salva- 
tion; which  at  the  first  began  to  be 
spoken  by  the  I^ord,  and  was  con- 
firmed unto  us  by  them  that  heard 
Jiim;  God  also  bearing  them  wit- 
ness, both  with  signs  and  won- 
ders, and  with  divers  miracles, 
and  gifts  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  ac- 
cording to  his  own  will? 

lJo/miv,l3.  Hereby  know  we 
that  we  dwell  in  him,  and  he  in 
us,  because  lie  hath  given  us  of 
his  Spirit. 


Tsa.  XXX,  21.  And  thine  ears
